For the first week of the term Dark had spent her time plotting her first move. She read and re-read the list to see which task would be best for starting with. She wanted something that wouldn't point any suspicions to her...yet. She finally decided to choose "wolf howl from a good hiding place." It would be funny to see Snape's reaction to that. She announced her choice to the others on Friday morning. She would borrow Harry's map, but not his invisibility cloak. The cloak could fall off or something.
Dark was feeling exited about her first task as she dumped a load of sugar in her coffee.
"Would you like some coffee with your sugar?" asked Hermione. "You are going to be a bigger spaz than usual if you keep that up."
"I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing" joked Harry.
Dark sipped her coffee and shuddered. The others looked at her.
" Ugh, coffee's way too sweet..."
Everybody finished their breakfast and left for class. Dark was jittery through her lessons, but it wasn't the coffee. She was afraid she'd get caught while pulling her prank. That night at nine o' clock, Ron, who was watching the map, spotted Professor Snape patrolling the corridors. They all bid Dark farewell as she put a dissilusionment charm on herself (a good hiding place!) and left the Gryffindor common room. Dark walked silently through the halls. She was glad that the only thing on her feet were her socks, because they really helped quiet her footsteps. When she finally caught up with Snape she stopped. He was facing her but she was invisible so he didn't see her. She waved. No reaction. She made a face at him. He glanced out the window and continued pacing back and forth patrolling the corridor. Dark waited until he was at the far end of the hall. Then she took a silent breath and howled like a werewolf. Snape must have jumped at least a mile into the air. He looked around wildly and put his arms out like he was feeling around for his invisible howler. Dark was biting her finger trying not to laugh because he looked like a very confused person trying to play marco-polo without a swimming pool.
"Who is there???" he demanded.
Dark couldn't resist.
"POLO!!!!!!!" she cried and ran with Snape on her tail. Professor Snape must have suspected a Gryffindor was behind this, because he ran all the way up to Gryffindor tower. Dark ran past the portriat of the fat lady and to the end of the corridor. When Professor Snape asked the fat lady if she saw a student was out of bed, Dark blew a big rasberry and waited 'till Snape was out of site to go to the fat lady. Dark muttered the password (Nitwit)
"Who is that?" asked the fat lady as she swung open. " You could have gotten in a lot of trouble."
"Then keep it a secret! I was never here." answered Dark as she climbed into the common room.
When Dark entered the common room and became visible again, all of her friends greeted her with cheers. Ginny pointed out that the list had checked itself off. Dark told them everything that happened and they all had a good laugh before bed.
The next morning at breakfast, Snape looked absolutely pissed. Dark couldn't stop smiling even though Snape might catch her triumphant look. Wait, it seemed he just did. Dark thought up a lie as Harry muttered, " Big git approaching."
" Miss Smith, you look especially happy this morning......" He glared at her with his dark eyes.....Deep, dark......yummy-
"no! Bad! Stop!" thought Dark..."that was weird, why'd i even Think that?!?!?" she wondered.
Dark smiled more widely "It's Sartuday, Sir! Who doesn't enjoy a day off?"
Professor Snape muttered something and stalked away. Dark was still kicking herself for that weird mental slip up. She was also looking up to her next task.. this was fun!
"So what do you have in store next?" asked Ron eagerly.
"Wait and find out!" Grinned Dark.
Hermione laughed and asked "Does that mean you have no clue?" Dark answered with a nod and left to go outside. The weather was nice.
