Chapter 8 Makeshift dance

Time passed quickly after that. Snape hadn't mentioned what they did, and no one went to the head master. But things were really tense between them and Snape and the other Slytherins. Also they continued to play pranks on people. Not just Snape but Slytherins they didn't like and such. Snape of course ended up giving all of them LOTS of detention. By the time it was the week before Halloween they all had had two weeks of detention total. It was October and there was an announcement that there would be a Halloween ball the catch was that you had to be a forth year or above. But they got all dresses up anyway and had there own little party in an empty classroom down a hallway they were all sure no one used. It was not just the five of them though.

Nick had asked a nice Slytherin first year to come with him. They seemed to hit it of very well. She had short boyish blond hair that she every month died magenta-red. She was short, had glasses and really got along well with the rest of them. She helped them pull pranks and hung out with them every day. Soon she was one of the gang.

At there makeshift dance the classroom had been cleared of desks and the floor magically cleaned. Nice long comfy couches were conjured on the sides of the walls and a boom box gave off music. Instead of wearing robes, Berna had them dress in muggle dress clothes. Berna was wearing a bright pink short dress, Justin a pair of tan khakis and a light blue shirt. Nick had on the same thing except for his shirt was red. Tom was wearing tan khakis and a black shirt. Milly had on a short dark green dress. There new friend, who's name was Keely, had on a short light blue dress. The girls had there hair pulled up into buns and the boys hair was gelled and spiked or left gelled.

It was the night of the dance and they had all sneaked down into the room. Tom had his arm wrapped around Milly on the couch. This was becoming a common thing, it just felt natural and there were no complaints from either of them. Justin had his arm around Berna and they were dancing. Nick and Sam were sitting on the other couch about a foot away from each other talking. It was a cool and relaxed atmosphere in the room.

"We should make a room like this we can come to all the time!," Shouted Justin over the music.

"Yeah that'd be cool!" They all voiced there agreement.

"But where?" asked Tom.

"I have an idea!" said Berna, "I was down in the kitchens seeing the house elves and I mentioned what we were doing and this one I'm friends with, Sam, asked me if it was the room of requirement and I said no and asked her more about it."

"What like a room that lets you have whatever you want?" Asked Milly excitedly.

"Not exactly but yes! And I know where it is too, plus I don't think many people know about it." She added thoughtfully.

"How cool!!!" screamed Milly and Keely at the same time causing Tom and Nick to cover their ears.

They partied the rest of the night away, as best they could being eleven. There was no kissing or drugs/alcohol. They were still too young.

The next day they set out to find the room of requirement. It was a gorgeous Saturday. Bernadette was in the lead and the rest were trailing behind her.

"Ok here's what we have to do... walk down this corridor three times thinking about what we need." she said.

They did it then a wooden door appeared in the middle of the corridor. Berna went to it quickly then opened it and the rest followed her in. They made noises of immense approval. They were in a huge room that looked like it was split into two. On side had book shelves full of all there favorite books, comfy couches all over, a chess table, a muggle pool table and broom sticks on a stand against the wall. That was on one half of the room. It had been decorated in dark green and dark red. On the other side of the room it was decorated in light blue and white and silver. White partially see through curtains hung in between the two half's of the room. On the other side was a wooden porch. The porch was what separated the green/red side of the room from the sandy beach on the other side of the porch. On the porch were a hot tub, and six beach chairs. There was a long beach and real sea water waves were crashing against the shore, creating a soothing sound of the ocean.

Their new hang out place they were able to ditch the library and disapproving glances of the students in the great hall. Classes were going good for all of them. They were all passing. Berna, Tom and Milly were getting straight (: whatever the highest score is ; sorry no ones perfect!). While Nick, Justin and Sam were getting slightly not perfect grades. They worked carefully on all the pranks they administered now. They took the time to think everything out as not to get caught.

It was exam time and so far they had the grease Snape incident, they dyed a few older classmen's hair rainbow colors(all houses, they didn't want to discriminate with their fun), charmed Ekis (Spike) and his gangs robes so that they read very privet, embarrassing things (really what they were thinking all day would magically appear on the back and front of there robes. The best part was the ink was invisible to the wearer, so all day people asked then why the robes said such things and they said there robes were not written on and made people think they were crazy. This prank was the first one they got in trouble for. Ekis had a girlfriend he was using only to please himself and the thought was on his back when he walked away from her that morning. Ekis had found them before class that afternoon and blamed them. He beat them all up, but there was nothing the six eleven year olds could do against seven sixteen year old-fifth years. Ekis and two of the others had been held back so the other chose to stay back too.), using a special flame that burned stone they light fire to the dungeons (which had been stopped before it was too late), made all the snobby preps sprout un curable pimples, started secret admirer notes to the most popular person and the least popular (the only downfall of this joke was that it back fired and now the two were going out, and had been for three months).

They made rotten food come from the plates for a few days starting at dinner one night, good food would pass up through to the house tables and go rotten, they conjured a banner to hang above the high table in the great hall(it said whatever the teachers were thinking, they were rather not bothered by it and it stayed up for a few days until finally they were able to get rid of it), and they made fireworks go off during a quittich game of Slytherin and Gryffinor, but people seemed to like this so they did it at all the matches there after. They were never caught in the act during a prank, and never caught at all except for the Snape Grease incident and Ekise's robes.

Everyone please tell me what you think or I wont keep writing!!! Criticism is fine by me.
