Students were leaving, tests were over and history was about to be made. Our dorm was filled with chatter of Christmas time and parties; mine was of hair spray. Since Cammy and I weren't going anywhere, we sat on our beds listening to the conversations. We watched them clear out and I checked my watch.
"Showtime" I said jumping up. Cammy looked up at me.
"Are you going?" she asked.
"Yes and as usual you're not?" she nodded. But she looked worried this time.
"Just be careful Carmen"
"Aren't I always?" I grinned and left the dorm and the common room. The twins were meeting me in the library. I passed McGonagall on my way out who was wearing an elf hat…yeah okay.
"Hello Carmen" she said pleasantly. I almost didn't recognize her without the smoke blowing out of her nose.
"Professor" I noticed she had her arms crossed, "cold?"
"Yes" she responded, "heat should be coming on soon" I nodded and continued on my merry way. I even passed Snape, my newest customer.
"What are you smiling about?" he sneered.
"Oh nothing, just good Christmas cheer!" he looked at me strangely and left. By this time I had reached the library. It was empty of course except for the twins.
"Ready?" I asked looking at the vent.
"Ready" they replied in unison. Fred gave me a boost while George opened the vent.
"I'm in" I said once I was sitting in the air shaft.
"Good, we'll meet you back here" I heard Fred's muffled voice.
"Ok" I said and started crawling. The shafts of Hogwarts were very complex but luckily I had a map. Steering my way through the tunnels I finally found the area I needed to be in. "Bingo" I muttered sliding the shaft open. It was a shower that read on the side: Severus. Perfect, I would've hated for Dumbledore to have gotten pink hair. Slowly I lay on my stomach and slid out, armed with the dye. Looking around I spotted a shower cap, figures he needs to do his greasy…what! It was pink, with ducks on them! I almost fell out of the shower having to steady myself. I grabbed it and began to pour the dye in it, when dear old Snape showered this evening he would be getting a makeover. Hauling myself back into the vent, I closed the shaft and wiped my hands. "Yes sir you are welcome" I said grinning. Then I heard a noise; there was a monster in this shaft or something was seriously wrong. I thought the basilisk lived in a toilet! Then I remembered what McGonagall had said to me: "Yes" she responded, "heat should be coming on soon". Oh crap. Before I could think again I felt a shove behind me as a puff of air shot me through the vent. "Hey, oh crap…crap!" I yelled bouncing and sliding uncontrollably. I passed over the great hall and through a shaft I spotted a couple making out. I couldn't help myself. As I passed it I yelled through the grate. "Git-r-done!" Man I love that phrase! But wait where was I? Wait I saw a light….the outdoor light. The shaft burst open and I felt myself falling and falling then…wait I'm not a pancake? No I'm a sponge! I had landed in the pond…a very cold pond! Wringing myself out I walked in to see Snape. I had to think of something fast. "Uh, no thank you Timmy!" I yelled so he could hear me, "saving you was no problem!" Snape eyed me carefully and walked off. Phew! I continued until I reached the common room where Fred and George waited for me.
"Mission accomplished" I said pulling a piece of seaweed out of my hair.
