A/N: Wow! One review. I am bored, so I will put up the next chapter anyway,
but please review. I am saddened when no one says anything. In the last
chapter I forgot a disclaimer so here it is. Enjoy chapter the second!

Havoc at Hogwarts
Harry, Ron and Hermione were running along the corridor, trying to get to their detention on time.
"Binns just had to make it on the floor we don't have classes in," Ron exclaimed.
"I didn't even know we had a south tower," Harry gasped.
"I can't wait until you read Hogwarts, a History," Hermione grumbled as they passed the same portrait for the third time.
"Why would we bother when we have you?" Ron smirked.
"Haven't we passed this portrait before?" Harry interrupted to prevent a squabble.
"Yes, I believe you have. It was quite amusing actually. Did you say you needed to go to the south tower? I can help you," a clear voice rang out.
"Yeah," said Ron cautiously. "Where are you?"
"Over to your left a bit," she replied. Eris smiled to herself. Everything was going according to plan.
They turned to see a girl about their age with long, flowing, jet black hair and pale skin. In the portrait, she was sitting on a bench in a silky loose toga. A basket of fruit was next to her. Perched on top of the basket was a golden apple. Only Hermione noticed this particular detail.
"Press your hands to the bottom of the painting and I will pull you through," Eris explained. Harry went up to her first and pushed his hands against the canvas. She reached down, grabbed his hands and tugged him up. The image rippled like water as it took him in. Ron and Hermione warily followed suit.
"Okay, keep your voices hushed and don't fall behind. South tower?" She inquired. They nodded and were off.
Eris ran quickly stopping a few times to untangle the cloth wrapped around her while the others caught up. Flashes of classrooms moved by and they even saw McGonagall do a double take from her office. Sir Codagan held them up for a few seconds threatening to spear them through. All Eris had to do was pin him down and steal his sword before he let them pass by. Finally, she stopped in an oil of a field filled with grazing cows.
"Did you hear about that mad cow disease?" Hermione asked to a random cow.
"Yes, but its okay, because I'm a helicopter," the cow replied simply. Ron looked baffled.
"Are we here?" Harry asked, catching his breath.
"Yes. Now to get out you jump."
"Jump?"
"Yes. On the count of three I'll jump with you. I won't go through, but you will. One, Two, Three!" They jumped and to their surprise, Eris came out with them. They landed in a heap on the floor. Hermione was picking herself up when Eris let out a terrified scream. (Not actually terrified, but very convincing.)
"I'm hardly wearing anything!" She screamed as she tried to cover herself with more cloth. Hermione rolled her eyes and tossed her cloak over.
"What's going on? I thought you said you were a painting?" Ron panted.
"I thought I was! I was banished but I guess I must have been released!" Eris looked confused. "Oh! I get it now."
"What? Clue us in, will you?" Ron had finally stood up and was calming himself down.
"I pulled a big prank a long time ago and I was exiled to a painting. I had to do a thousand good things to make up for my bad behavior and you must have been my thousandth," Eris clarified.
"Well, no offense or anything, but we're already late for our detention," Hermione chided.
"Yes! Yes, I'm so sorry. I guess I'll be seeing you around then. I'm Eris, by the way. Nice to meet you. . .?"She questioned.
"Harry."
"Hermione."
"Ron," they trilled.
"Off you go then. Have a nice day," Eris called while she walked down the hallway. When the trio was out of sight, she morphed her clothes into a student's robes. She made her way to Dumbledore's office to tell the sorting hat to put her in Gryffindor. * * *
"She was slightly weird, wasn't she?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, I know. That whole popping out of a drawing thing bothered me," Ron proclaimed.
"I've heard of her before. I don't know where, but she is definitely in a book somewhere. Even her looks remind me of something," Hermione voiced. They sat down and Professor Binns gave them the evil eye for being late.
* * * *
"Well, I did it, Tommy. I'm in Hogwarts and in Gryffindor. Now when can I start having fun?"
"Gain their trust first, and then you may do whatever you like," Voldemort responded, frustrated. This girl was being far more of a nuisance than he thought. But he should have expected no less from the goddess of discord.
* * * *
A/N: I hope everyone enjoyed that. I had fun writing it, even if nothing really happened. More will happen in the next chapter. Don't worry. Any ideas for pranks would be greatly appreciated! By the way, is this confusing? I don't know if it is or not and I don't want people to be baffled by the story. Also, is it boring? Constructive criticism only please! All flames go directly to my non working fireplace! Review now? Yes, please and thank you. Have a nice day!
