Pranks
The day of her first quidditch game, Petra woke with every inch of her dark chestnut hair turned a bright green. She took it rather well, all things considered. She simply braided it, pinned it up, and proceded toglare mencingly at anyone who even looked like they were going to comment. If someone thought that changing her hair color would stop her from playing, they had another think coming.
Siri and Kate spent the time before the game pouring over books, looking for a way to change Petra's hair back. And thinking up a suitible revenge. No one did this to their friend and got away with it. Of course, they would later find that revenge was accomplished in a quite suitable way. Namely, Petra kicking serious Slytherin arse in the game.
Both the girls had gone to the stands early to get good seats and were quite surprised to find Professor McGonagall there. She smiled at them. "I may no longer be the head of Gryffindor house, but I still root for my team. You two are awfully early."
"It's Petra's first game."
"Ah."
It wasn't long before the stands were full and the game was starting. It was the first Quidditch game of the year, everyone was excited. It also ended up being a very short game. The summery consisted of this: Gryffindor scored. Slytherin scored. Gryffindor scored again. Petra caught the snitch. All this occureed within twenty minutes.
Afterwards, the three girls headed back to the common room where a party was starting. Unfortunately, the victory over Slytherin did nothing for Petra's hair. It remained green throughout the entire week as no one could figure out how to reverse it, and it seemed that Petra was the victem of a new prank each day. She took each one with a calm façade and plotted revenge with Siri and Kate. The girls were close to identifying Petra's tormenter and everything was going well. At least, until Kenzie MacLeod decided to comment on the combination of Petra's still green hair and now orange eyebrows.
