Chapter two: Seedy Drink

-Ceo-

I walked up to Lily and gave her a swarthy wink.

"Missed you last night," The pretty redhead scowled. "Elvira got dead drunk, and we had to clean up her mess. Then, I"-

"Lily, shut up," I said kindly, and we headed out of the Common Room together. We walked down the main staircase and into the Great Hall.

"I did it."

"What?"

"I did it!"

"I thought you 'did it' before,"

"Shut up!" I growled, suddenly growing tense. "I meant that I finally found out where the Prat Pack hangs. And you will never believe what happened,"

"Hild," I looked up quickly to see Professor Mcgonagall walking briskly to where both Lily and I sat at our table.

"Yes, professor?"

"There is an opening on the quidditch team. Perwittia had a bad accident and will be out of commission for a while. Mr. Potter said that you were a good chaser, and if you want you can join the team."

I smiled broadly. Oh this was great. Already they were bending to my whim. I wondered exactly how far I could take this, and nodded emphatically.

"Of course, professor," I said in innocent earnest. "I would love to, and be honored as well."

Mcgonagall walked away and Lily gave me an open mouthed stare.

"How the hell did you manage that?"

"I was getting there, now listen. They can turn into"-

"A real pack of evil pricks if you don't keep your mouth closed tightly, Hild," I looked up to see James and Sirius standing above us. Both of their faces held the look of thunderous rage.

"Sorry?" I asked, in the same voice I had used on Mcgonagall.

"You know the deal. I already held up part of my half," James spat, before walking off with Sirius in tow.

"What were you saying?" Lily asked me, completely unfazed.

"Never mind," I said distractedly.

-

"Not funny!" I practically screamed, hovering only a few inches above the ground. I put my sleeve up to my bleeding nose and squinted through the rain to see James circling overhead. I looked over at Sirius who had just landed. He looked like a deer who was constipated and caught in wand-light. That's how hard he was trying not to laugh. Seriously.

"Alright Hild?" James called down. Alright? ALL BLOODY RIGHT? He had just taken Sirius' bat, and hit the bludger at my HEAD...breaking my bloody(literally) NOSE! Of course Im all BLOODY RIGHT!

"We should head in," Sirius shouted, as a strike of lightning hit. James nodded, and after changing we went back to the castle. I gave them an evil glare and walked ahead to the hospital wing.

-Sirius-

"And then James took my bat and hit the bludger straight at Ceo...Man she was livid." I said, finally getting out the laugh that had been nearly cracking my ribs. Remus glanced over at me, above his Transfiguration notes. He shook his head slightly, and vanished the parchment; causing Peter to frown as he had been copying them

"That wasn't exactly nice," Remmy started.

"So? Its so stupid, having her around all the time!" James protested.

"Well? You could have gone a more roundabout way. She can go and snitch on us any time she likes." Remus pointed out.

"I hate how we have a woman controlling us,"

"Well...a woman would have realized if she had been sitting around in a striped jumpsuit with glitter for the past five minutes," A cool voice came from behind us.

"What the?" I yelled, jumping up amid laughter. Indeed, I was wearing an outlandishly colored jumpsuit. My hair also grew another few feet, and was a lot more curlier then before.

"Aww," Ceo said, trying not to laugh. "You look like Marc Bolan..."

"The lead singer to T-Rex?" Lily appeared at Ceo's elbow, smirking. "Your right!"

Who was T-Rex? I thought dinosaurs where extinct...? Why would they be in a band, and singing? Oh...more Muggle music.

"Change me back!" I demanded. With a lazy wave of her wand, Ceo had me back into my uniform, though my hair was still long.

"That is what you get for breaking my nose," She hissed into my ear.

"Me?" I asked innocently. "It was James here who hit you." Thats what he gets for not telling me about the stupid jumpsuit.

"Oh yeah."

-

"I think you made a great David Bowwow, or what ever his name was!" I said, still snorting with laughter. "Seriously, the red feather duster really pulls it off!"

James said nothing but climbed into bed and twitched the hangings shut around him. He still had a bit of glitter on his arms, but I thought payback was a bitch.

I could have almost been friends with that Ceo. Yeah, she was a bit of a mean bitch...but she was good with a wand.

The fact that she was practically handling us on a string, and being a puppet master was what got to me. She could have been cool about it. Like all "Yeah, I know your secret...lets go eat some chocolates and shag," or something to that affect. But no, she had to pull the blackmail card. And she pulled it well.

I would have been able to get over that fact. But she also could reveal Remmy for what he was. No matter who or what did that, I would kill them. Even if I accidently did, well...I suppose I would just have to kill myself. Seriously.

She was a bitch as well. Rubbing our noses in the fact that she had an invisibility cloak and could follow people without making a sound. Almost anyone(who had money) could get a cloak like James' and follow us. The thing was, we were careful. Why hadn't she shone up on the map? Maybe we just didn't look at it carefully. Yes...that was it.

The one thing I would have loved to do to this woman, was cut off that blasted braid. Her hair was so long, and she probably would have killed me if I did.

Maybe I could bribe someone else to do it?

No money.

Damn.
