Diclaimer: dont own Harry Potter!
chapter 2
Pyro and Aqua wandered into the Great Hall. They looked up and saw the sky.
"We need to figure out exactly what we're going to do." Pyro paused. Her eyes grew wide. Let's set up some speakers in here. We can rig them to play 'Barbie Girl.'
"We can play it when everybody get here." Aqua looked around. "We can probably set them up in the rafter on the ceiling where noone can see them, or us."
"Perfect!"
They set up the speakers and a small CD player in the rafters. It took them about an hour. When they finished, they decided to explore the castle.
'This castle is humongous!' Aqua told Pyro with her mind.
'Seriously. Let's check out the dungeon. There's bound to be something cool there.'
Aqua nodded. 'Pyro, the pictures are looking at us.'
The people that lived in the pictures were whispering and staring at the girls. Pyro decided to talk to one of them. She spotted a knightin one of the pictures.
"Hi. Who are you and which part of the castle are we in?"
"Two gentle ladies! I am Sir Cadogen. You... are in the North Tower."
"Can you tell us where the dungeons are?" Aqua asked from behind Pyro.
"A quest! I shall take you dasels there myself. For it is a knight's..."
Pyro and Aqua walked away from the knight when he wasn't paying attention. 'Let's find the dungeons ourselves.' they said at the same time.
They finally made it to the second floor. It took a whil. They kept getting lost and the pictures wouldn't help them.A cat was standing in the front of the entrance. She stared at them and mewed.
'Pyro, maybe we should get away from this spot.'
'That could be a good idea.'
An hour later, they finally reached the dungeons. The found a door that was wide open. It was a small room with bookshelves covering the walls. Potion bottles were scattered on the shelves and on the desk that was tucked in the corner. There was a large pile of parchment on the dest. On the table was a small bowl. It was filled with a silvery liquid. The girls looked inside the bowl. They saw an imae of a greasy boy yelling at what seemed to be his mother. The mother looked drunk. Her clothes were torn and ragged. The woman slapped the boy and threw him on the bed. Then she staggered out of the room and closed the door, locking it from the outside.
Pyro and Aqua were dragged away from the bowl by their arms. They turned around and saw a tall man with greasy black hair and a crooked nose.
"You're the kid from the image in the bowl!" Pyro looked the tall guy over. "You got older."
"Who are you two and what are doing in my private office?" the man growled through tightly clenched teeth. Aqua steeped up to him smiling.
"We're sorry. We're lost and we just wandered over here."
"Lost or not, I will be reporting you both to the Headmaster. When the train arrives in a few minutes, I will personally see to it that you are on that train when it leaves." The greasy-haired man started towards his desk and stopped. The room went dark. A tall, hooded man with blood red eyes came towards him, wand aimed straight for his heart. The greasy-haired man kneeled over and held his head. He started shaking uncontrollably.
Pyro grinned maliciously. She had created an illusion of the man's worst fear. Pyro and Aqua ran out of the room and rushed back to the Great Hall. By the time they had climbed up the rafters, all the students and teachers were filing in and sitting down. They spotted the greasy-haired teacher. He looked as if he were back to normal.
An old witch brought an old, battered hat and put it on a stool. The hat started singing a strange song, but Pyro and Aqua couldn't quite make out the words. When it finished. kids that they assumed were first years came up to the stool and put on the hat. The hat sorted everyone into their new houses. When the sorting was over, food appeared on the tables and everybody started eating. An hour later, all the food disappeared and an old wizard stood up and started talking.
"Tryouts for the House Quidditch teams willtake place on the-"
The old man stopped talking and looked over at one of the teachers, who was now standing.
'Pyro, that teacher looks like a toad!'
'We'll start the music while she's talking'
"Hem hem. The Ministry of Magic has always considered the education of young wizards to be of vital importance. The rare gifts with which you were born with may come to nothing if not nurtured and honed by..."
Pyro turned on the stereo and cranked the volume all the way up.
'I'm a Barbie girl
In the Barbie world.
Life in plastic,
It's fantastic.
You can brush my hair,
And take me everywhere.
Imagination,
What is your creation.'
Some of the students laughed and started dancing. The other students and teachers looked around to see what was going on. The old wizard just continued sitting and smiled.
Pyro and Aqua jumped down from the rafters. All the students and faculty jumped at their sudden appearance. Pyro took a cake that had been left on the faculty table and smashed it on top of the greasy-haired guy from earlier. Chocolate cake slithered down his face. Pyro rubbed the chocolate icing in his hair. Aqua laughed happily. Music was still playing around them. Most of the students were laughing and even the teachers we're trying hard to suppress their laughter. Aqua spotted a large bowl filled with pumpkin juice. 'Pyro, got any ideas of what we can do with a bowl of pumpkin juice?'
Pyro looked at the bowl. An evil smile crept up on her lips. 'Aqua, help me carry the bowl. We're going to dump it on the old man's head'
Pyro and Aqua grabbed the bowl and flew above the old wizard. On the count of three, they dumped all the pumpkin juice on his head. Everybody in the room went quiet. The greasy-haired man wiped cake off his face to see what had happened. He glared at Pyro, eyes filled with venom. Then he saw the old wizard and his eyes grew wide.
