Chapter 9 Finding Out the Enemy
Stands
"Okay so what's the actual pranks were doing?" Belen asked. The pranksters that would be participating in the Suran Wrap Event… that's what they called it….. was sitting in the Quidditch stand the next day while the rest of the school ate lunch.
"Wait I want to know who were going up against who are the Slytherin Pranksters?" Jena asked.
"Ah now that is kinda a hard question. We don't exactly know who all is in it." Tyson sighed.
"But we do know we now have more people then they do." Sirius added.
"Well with the balloons we saw um… I know I saw Mikey Jacobs the second year. And I believe I saw Eric Stone the third year." Remus pointed out.
"Yeah and Mary-Kate Turner was there with Roxy Thomas." Peter nodded.
"It figures you'd be the one to remember the girls." Lizzy rolled her eyes and playfully hit Peter in the arm.
"I'm sorry it just comes naturally." He laughed.
"Whatever, okay that makes 5 people including Taglen for the Slytherin team. I know there were more than that." Tyson flipped through her spiral that now never left her hand. Just then Lily and Whitney were seen walking towards the Quidditch pitch.
"What are they doing?" Rory looked at his girlfriend.
"Maybe they got their heads clear and saw that pranking the Slytherins would be fun, so they've come to join us." Ben assumed. For a few minutes the group just sat there watching the two newcomers walk into the pitch and up the stairs to them.
"Hey Lily, what's up?" Rory smiled and motioned for her to sit next to him.
"Um no thank-you, we're just gunna be here a minute." Lily put sweetly.
"Hey Tyson are you and Mal- I mean Lucius still 'together'?" Whitney asked cautiously.
"Yeah, why?" Tyson closed her notebook at looked up at the two who were both fidgeting.
"Oh um cause we saw him with this guy and two other girls. And he was sitting realllll close to one of the girls. We figured that you two broke up and he had got with another girl to make you jealous." Whitney answered not wanting to see Tyson's expression. Tyson just sat there looking to be thinking for a second before saying anything.
"Well then…." She didn't finish her sentence but started a new one. "Where are they, in the Great Hall?"
"No by the lake." Lily replied. Not saying another word Tyson stood up and started to leave the stands.
"Where are you going?" Sirius called out to her.
"I wanna see who these people are." She didn't even look back.
"When she says 'these people' she means the one girl huh?" Lizzy asked.
"Yep" The Marauders all answered in unison.
Outside the School
Tyson slowed down from her fast paced walk once she got close to the school. Making sure she couldn't be seen by anyone near the lake. Quietly she moved towards it and saw the Slytherin group of four. Lily was right; Lucius was sitting rather close to the red head girl.
"What's up with him and red heads?" A voice whispered behind her. She spun around and there stood Sirius.
"What are you doing here?" Tyson asked.
"Following you." He shrugged. She glared at him for a moment and Sirius knew that she was contemplating on whether or not she'd want him there when she confronted Malfoy.
"Fine, but stay down for now." Obviously she wanted support when she talked to him.
"I know, I am a prankster you know. I know how to be sneaky." He rolled his eyes, "But as I was saying, what's with him and red heads?" He took some of Tyson's own long red hair in his hand.
"I don't know." She sounded mad but he couldn't see her face since she had turned back to the group, "Who is that girl? And what does she have that I don't?"
"Hey he hasn't broke up with you and you two do look kinda a like what with your hair both being red and long. Well hers is more of Lily's color than your dark red and hers isn't to her waist like yours is… and you have loose curls all over yours and she doesn't and "He was cut off.
"I got it thanks." Tyson snapped.
"Oh well her name is Cady Simmons. She's a third year pure blood." He added quietly.
"So that's it huh? He wanted someone older?" Tyson asked no one.
"Yeah its like an older version of you." Sirius commented anyway.
"No she is nothing like me!" Tyson had spun around again, almost falling, and glared at Sirius.
"Fine, she's not." He held up both hands in defense.
"I know who the other girl is, it's Kara Landing, the third year. But who's the guy?"
"The guy is Kara's boyfriend, oh and Kara and Cady are best friends. His name is Damion Blaze, he's a first year like us." Sirius informed her.
"Okay what's wrong with these girls? They're both 3rd year and they're both after flipping 1st years."
"I don't know. But have you noticed that everything lately is like something else? I mean Damion and Daemeon, you and this chick, and-"
"Yes I have thank-you." She didn't really mean the thank-you as something good.
"How come I don't know this Damion? You said he's a first year."
"He is but he tends to stay to the quiet side and not really do anything."
"Then how do you know all about him?"
"Please, I'm Sirius Black. I know everything."
"Everything?" He nodded, "Come on I'm tired of watching them flirt!" She stood up and straightened her robes then started to the lake. They were at the Slytherins' back so they gave them a bit of a surprise.
"Lucius." Tyson threw off a fake tone and smile as Malfoy turned around towards them.
"Tyson, hey I haven't seen you around since lunch began where'd you run off to?" Lucius smiled up at her.
"Oh we headed off to the Quidditch pitch for a… meeting." She smiled.
"Okay cool I guess. Oh guys this is Tyson. Tyson this is Dam-"He started the introductions. But he had left out the one thing Tyson had wanted to hear 'This is my girlfriend, Tyson.'
"I know who they are." She snapped accidentally.
"What? You do, how?" Lucius looked confused at her sudden anger.
"I'm Halo Tyson I know everything." She stole Sirius' line who just raised his eyebrows.
"Excuse me." Lucius said to his friends then stood up and lightly pulled Tyson by her arm away from everyone else. Leaving Sirius alone with the group of Slytherins.
"What's wrong with you… and why are you with that scumbag all day and not with me?" He asked looking at Sirius who defiantly looked out of place.
"Why are you with a wannabe copy of me?" She crossed her arms ready for the answer.
"Is that what you're mad about?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about." She acted stupid.
"Yes you do. You think that I'm trying to get with Cady don't you?" Lucius asked smiling.
"Why are you smiling?" She whined.
"Because you're jealous. And I thought you didn't care about me and that you looooved that one dude… Will I think his name is."
"If I didn't care about you why would I be with you?" She mumbled.
"I don't know." Lucius smiled widened. "So you do?"
"perhapsohIdon'tknow" She mumbled again.
"Oh what was that?" He laughed.
"Of course I do and I don't like her." Tyson pointed at the other red head.
"Okay leave Cady out of this. I don't like her like that and I've told her that."
"How come you didn't introduce me as your girlfriend then?" Tyson whined sounding like Rielly used to do, which just about killed Tyson once she realized what she was doing.
"I don't know it didn't occur to me, I'm sorry. Hey look." He took her hand and pulled her back over to the group. The Slytherins had been making fun of Sirius who tried desperately to retaliate but couldn't to all of it.
"Guys this is my girlfriend Tyson, and leave Black alone would you?" Both Tyson and Sirius looked up at Lucius in complete surprise. Never had either one seen Lucius being nice to Sirius. Or defend him in that matter.
"That's your girlfriend?" Cady raised her eyebrows.
"Yes Cady. I told you I was dating her." He replied sitting back down but this time further away from Cady and making Tyson sit next to him.
"Well I didn't believe such a ridicules story." She shrugged.
"What's so ridicules about me and Lucius?" Tyson glared at Cady.
"Well only that you're a Gryffindor and a prankster. And he's a Slytherin."
"Oh please Cady stop it. I heard you, Kara, and Damion talking to Taglen and his group about planning that stupid prank at the end of the year."
"Lucius!" Kara and Damion both yelled in surprise.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Cady played it cool.
"Oh yeah, oops wasn't supposed to say anything was I?" Lucius apologized but Tyson saw him wink at her.
"Hey Damion… Cady." A voice floated behind the group.
"Oh Hey Madison, hey Jesse." Damion turned and saw two girls walking towards them. The one who had spoken was the dark brunette with black tips that hung around the middle of her back. Her piercing green eyes matched that of her friend, who was obviously Jesse, that walked beside her. Jesse had shoulder length dirty blonde hair.
"Hey" Jesse smiled, "So did you talk anymore with Taglen, about the prank we're gunna pull on Tys-"Jesse stopped when she saw Tyson who was sitting next to Lucius with his arm around her and Sirius not far off.
"Yeah thanks Jesse." Cady looked irritated.
"What's going on?" Madison sat next to Kara while Jesse sat next to Cady.
"Oh nothing just finding out who all we're up against." Tyson smiled evidently over the whole Malfoy ordeal. Once she saw that he wasn't even paying attention to Cady she was fine.
"What?" Madison frowned.
"Sirius that's five more to add to the list." Tyson tossed the spiral to him since he had the pen still. He flipped it open to the page where Tyson had been making a list of all the Slytherin pranksters.
"It's Dwyn and Smith." Tyson smiled and looked towards Lucius, "Well me and Black hafta get back to practice, so I'll talk to you later!" This time she wasn't embarrassed or had to be reminded about Lucius' habit of wanting a kiss every time they departed. No she planted one right on his cheek, knowing full well that Cady wad watching.
"Um okay." Tyson and Sirius had started off. "Wait a minute, Black isn't even on the team!" He called out to them. Tyson turned but kept walking and shrugged then smiled and turned back taking the spiral from Sirius.
"I thought you said that she was getting to close to Pauley?" Snape asked as he walked up behind Lucius and sitting down beside him.
"She is." He glared at his girlfriend and he buddy.
"Sure seems to me that Black is the one you outta be looking out for." Damion shrugged.
"Shove it Blaze."
"Okay so we now have a total of ten Slytherin pranksters with Cady, Damion, Kara, Jesse, and Madison being in it." Tyson counted it up real quick. Her and Sirius had made it back to their friends in the stands and told about that happened.
"Nahuh, I heard Snape talking to Malfoy about how he gave in and joined Taglen's group. Malfoy started chewing him out." Rory said.
"So Snape's in and Lucius isn't?" Tyson nodded and added Severus to the list, "Okay 11 Slytherins to our 25. We still have an advantage of 14 people."
"Yeah but we don't know if that's everyone, that's just those that we've seen him with." Remus added.
"Exactly, but who cares? Now explain the pranks!" Will slapped his hands together and smirked.
"Okay fi-" Tyson started as she pulled out the suran wrap but Sirius looked as if a light bulb just popped on in his head and dove for his bag then yanked something out of it.
"What the…. Are you doing Sirius?" Lizzy laughed.
"This I forgot that I had bought this right before school started. It was in one of those muggle joke shops!" He held up what looked to be a normal roll of toilet paper.
"Sirius" James looked at him sideways.
"Yes? Oh you think it's the everyday kind don't you?" Sirius was squirming. Tyson just sat there with three things of the muggle kitchen use suran wrap in her lap looking at Sirius as if he had lost his marbles.
"It sure does look like it." Ben agreed.
"Well it's not, here take it and pull me off a few lengths." He tossed it to Ben, who caught it and started the proving-to-be-difficult mission. He tried to rip it and tear it, even scratched it to get the paper loose, finally he gave up and tossed it back to Sirius.
"I can't, what'd ya do to it, super-glued?" He asked.
"Nope it's not real. It's made to just sit there."
"Why for what?" Tyson looked at it sideways.
"Just think if we put it in all the bathrooms in the Slytherin bathrooms, and just left em there. Of course we wouldn't be able to see the out come but still…" Sirius trailed off.
"Yeah sounds good." Tyson nodded and took the toilet paper from Sirius.
"Okay now on to the Suran Wrap, right?" Rory asked.
"Yep," She tossed the paper back to Sirius taking up her spiral and opening it, "Okay the four poster beds work to our advantage. What we do is we sneak in there and wrap the whole bed up in suran wrap while they sleep-"Lizzy interrupts her.
"Wrap the whole bed up? That doesn't make sense."
"Okay let me try to explain." James spoke up. "We tape the edge of the suran wrap to the top of the canopies of the bed. Then without cutting or tearing it from the main box we'll pull it all the way down to the bottom of the bed, that's when we cut it. We'll need two people to do the next part cause you have to pull it really tight to where there's no wrinkles or anything, it'll look like a blurry window when you look through it. You have to do that to all three sides that aren't touching the wall."
"But why?" Jena looked confused.
"Because when they wake up-"Peter laughed.
"Specially if it's still night time and they only got up to go to the bathroom." Remus added, Peter just nodded and continued.
"Yeah but anyways imagine it. The Slytherins are just waking up and trying to get outta bed. Now since they're still half asleep they can't see clearly so the blurriness doesn't occur to them as weird or what naught so when they move to step outta bed they hit the wrap and you know they freak out, they can't figure out why they can't leave their bed."
"Most likely they'll think it's magic, not a silly muggle prank." Remus laughed along with everyone else.
"But that's not all we can also put it on the toilet seat." Tyson looked up from her spiral.
"What?" Charlotte asked.
"Yeah we put the seat up and then stretch it really tight across the actually toilet and tape it down. Then put the seat back down. So that unsuspecting people use the toilet and get a surprise.
"That's kinda gross if ya think about it." Marie laughed.
"Yeah well we won't be there to see it, we'll just get to see the after emotions." Sirius broke out laughing.
"Hey wait." Remus stopped laughing and looked as if he was thinking about something. But then he pointed towards something moving down on the field floor.
"What is that?" Will muttered.
"It looks like people." Tyson of course was the one to answer him. The whole group had gone quite as they watched the four figures climb up the stairs on the opposite set of stands. Then the figures slowly made their way around towards the group.
"It looks like they're trying not to be seen." Sophie tilted her head.
"Wait I know who they are!" Sirius almost jumped up, "They're Slytherins!"
"Really you can see that far?" Remus looked at Sirius laughing.
"Not really but I know we'd be able to see the bright blue or yellow if they were Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff, and they wouldn't be sneaking around if they were Gryffindors.
"That little…" Tyson almost swore, "I bet you anything that those three are part of Taglen's crew. He somehow knows exactly who we know is on his side, so he got some of them that we didn't know were on his side and made them spy on us. Well we're just too smart for them!" She went off talking to herself like she was crazy.
"Um Ty, you mind telling us about you're plan?" James shook his head.
"What? Oh, yeah sorry. Okay let's pretend we didn't see them and make them think that they're really spying on us. But we'll be talking about a fake prank. One that's off the wall that we'd never try and pull."
"Yeah that sounds good! But what's the fake prank gunna be?" Will nodded. Tyson beamed from Will's approval of her plan then regained herself and started to form a plan.
"We'll talk about egging them when they come out of the front doors for Herbology or something like that. I don't know this is off the top of my head." Tyson shrugged.
"No it sounds okay." Rory reassured her.
"Yeah OK is all." Sirius rolled his eyes not liking the new prank.
"Yeah well it doesn't matter if it's good or not, because we're not going to really pull it. Oh okay they're coming close let's start talking!" Remus shushed them as the four bodies were sneaking closer. They could now plainly see, though the four girls were trying their hardest not to be seen, that all four girls wore the colors of Slytherins. Three of which had dark hair, two with brown were in the middle with the one with black hair in front and the last was a blonde.
"Hey I know the blonde and the brunettes!" Will leaned over to Tyson and whispered. She nodded while pretending to write something in her spiral though James snapped a quick, 'shut-up'.
"So when are they leaving for Herbology?" Rory gave a look to start a conversation.
"Well… I think when we're going to Astrology." James played along. The four girls stopped right underneath the group on the bleachers. Will slipped his hand toward and gently took the spiral then the pencil from Tyson who cocked her head and looked at him but gave both willingly trusting him. He smiled.
"We can come in from the side door and sneak up around with the eggs in our pockets, then surprise them when them come out. Here's a diagram." He handed the spiral back to Tyson. While he had been talking about the eggs they heard the girls below them start whispering. Tyson looked down expecting to see a diagram but the page was opened to the list of Slytherin pranksters with three names and years added; "Lorena Ramos(The first brunet)- Third year, Ellie Smith(the blond- Second year, & Ginny Jones(the second brunet)- Second year." Then added further down, "I don't know the one with black hair except I think her first name is Denny or something, all four are purebloods, some are actually kinda nice most of the time." Ben looked over Tyson's shoulder and shook his head.
"No, that won't work." He said and took the spiral pretending to erase the diagram but he erased the name Danny and added another name to the names and years list at the top. "Devi Thanatos- Fifth year" he wrote and gave back to Tyson talking about how the eggs would miss if they were that far from the steps or something, no one except the four Slytherins were paying attention.
"Okay," Remus took the spiral and looked at it. "So we'll scoot up some and sit behind the two bushes right outside the doors and we'll egg them there right before they go to Herbology." He made sure the girls had all the details so they would leave.
"Um Remus, there are no bushes next to the doors." Lindzi laughed.
"Obviously there will be." Charlotte rolled her eyes laughing as well.
"Yeah we can put some in, they won't notice them there." Remus agreed. The four girls had seemed to finish whispering and they had started sneaking away, obviously they had whatever they had come for.
"You think it'll work?" Marie asked.
"Sure of it!" Peter smiled with everyone else nodding.
The Slytherin Common Room
"Hey Taglen guess what?" Devi smiled as she walked into the Slytherin common room and plopping down onto the couch across from Taglen who was lazily lying in a armchair.
"What?" He barely looked up from the book that he was only half reading.
"We know a prank that stupid Tyson chick and her friends are planning." Ginny smiled answering for Devi who just glared at her and rolled her eyes.
"What?" This time Daemeon look wide awake.
"Yeah we over heard them talking about it and all." Lorena spoke up.
"So they've done what you've told them to." Lucius smirked as he came over with Severus behind him, they both took a seat on a couch.
"Yeah well I didn't think they'd actually be able to do it, I thought they were more observant than that." Daemeon scrunched up his face.
"Then why'd you send us out there to see what they were up to?" Ellie frowned. Completely ignoring the blonde Lucius spoke up.
"Yeah Ty is more aware of her surroundings, she'd notice four girls sneaking up." He looked to be thinking hard.
"Well I guess I was right, I am smarter than them!" Daemeon beamed, "So what's they're plan?" He finally looked back at the four girls all of which were glaring at him with a look that told him that he was in trouble.
"No Daemeon, you're just as retarded as they are with this prankster war, I'll be back." Lucius stood up and started towards the common room entrance. Quickly Severus got up and caught up to him.
"What's up?" Severus could tell that Lucius wasn't just going out for a walk, he was thinking about something more than everyday thought.
"Nothin' " He refused to answer truthfully.
"Oh don't even try to lie Lucius, I can tell you are."
"No because like a those retards in there you joined the war."
"So you can't tell me cause it's about the war?" Severus looked a little hurt because his best friend wouldn't tell him something.
"Yes" Was all he got back.
"Okay how bout if I swear not to tell anyone or help with any of the plans until next year?" He pleaded.
"Fine," Lucius could also tell when someone was lying and Severus seemed to be truthful,
Outside the Slytherin Common Room
"What I don't get is how was it that out of all those people in the group that was up in those stands how come none of them saw the girls sneaking up?"
"What are you saying?"
"Someone had to have seen them."
"But if someone had seen them, they would have ratted them out and not of gone on with the plan." Severus looked really confused now. They were just wondering around the dungeons not going anywhere really.
"Exactly what I was thinking, so if they hadn't ratted them out and yet someone HAD to have seen them then they knew they were there."
"But what about the prank the girls heard about?"
"Yeah I'm still stuck on that."
"Wait what if they just made up some random prank or one they're gunna do a later?"
"See that's a good idea, but Ty's not the kind to waste a good prank like that."
"But what if it wasn't good. What if it's a bad plan that they're just using?" Severus shrugged.
"Well wouldn't at least one of the four girls that heard it figure out that it's a stupid plan?"
"Well they haven't been pranking that long..." He trailed off.
"Or they just don't know Tyson's style, so they don't know what kind of stuff she'd pull." Lucius smiled.
"So it could sound like a good plan to anyone that didn't know her style" Severus said catching on.
"Right, come on I need to hear what this so called prank is." Lucius turned and started back to their common room with Severus on his heels.
Lucius walked back into the Slytherin common room closely followed by Severus. The girls were still sitting there talking with Daemeon, obviously he had used his convincing charm to get them back to being happy with him, Lucius rolled his eyes.
"Ellie, do you mind explaining the plan that Tyson and her friends were talking about pulling?" Lucius smiled polietly towards her.
"Um yeah sure, well you see they-" She started but Daemeon stopped her.
"No Ellie he's not part of the war, so he doesn't get to hear anything about it." Daemeon stated, Lucius raised his eyebrows as did everyone else.
"Why he's a Slytherin and it's not even our prank." Ellie looked confused.
"Yeah why can't I know?" Lucius smiled devishly, which seemed to fit him.
"Because you dating the enemy you nitwit"
"And you think I'd tell her?" Daemeon just nodded, "For your information Daemeon I hate this pathetic war and wish she'd stop. So tell me if I want her to stop it why would I help her. Plus how would I be helping her if I told her about her own prank plan?"
"He has ya there" Devi laughed.
"I don't know what you have up your sleeve, Malfoy but your not slick."
"Oh I'm not? Okay you keep thinking that." He just smiled and got up. With one glance at Severus, which Daemeon did not catch, he left towards his dorm leaving Severus sitting there.
"He's up to something and I bet Tyson, the little sneak, put him up to it."
"Um if you haven't noticed Tyson's kinda scared of him when it comes to whose in charge. Yeah sure she may like him but she's still terrified of him." Severus spoke up.
"Are you saying she's just dating him because she's scared of him?" Ginny questioned him, but Lorena asked another question before he could answer.
"Then why would he be dating her? He doesn't like Gryffindors, is it so he can have control over someone?"
"No he does like her, or so he's told me when it's just me and him talkin'. He said when you actually sit down and can talk to her about something that doesn't include pranking that she has a 'really great personality' as he said." Severus laughed causing the other girls to as well, "About her liking him... I honestly don't know. So what is this prank she's pulling, and you can tell me cause I'm part of the war?"
Ellie looked over to Daemeon to make sure, when he nodded she turned back to him and told him everything they heard.
A black haired girl ran into the common room laughing hysterically just after Ellie finished the prank that the Gryffindors had set up.
"What's your problem?" Lorena looked up at the girl.
"I-" She tried but she had burst out laughing again.
"Alex calm down, what'd you do?" Ellie laughed.
"Ok" she breathed, "I pranked Tyson and Black, it was hilarious!"
"What!" Daemeon shot up.
"I think I'm gunna leave now" Severus smiled softly and stood up moving towards the dorm rooms joing Lucius, who was sitting on a window sill reading a book.
"So how'd you prank them?" Ginny asked the new girl, Alex, back in the common room.
"Oh it wasn't a big prank but..." The noise from the common room disappeared as the door shut leaving Lucius and Severus alone in the dorm.
"So what is it?" Lucius looked up from the book.
"A total fake!" Severus smiled.
"Really?" Lucius laughed.
"Yeah, you can tell she set it up, I mean some of it doesn't make sense." He went on to explain how he knew there wasn't anything near the front doors to hide behind so they had no where to hide.
"They actually believe it?" Lucius shook his head.
"I guess so, but they're all hyped up about how Alex pranked Tyson and Black." Severus rolled his eyes.
"What? What'd they do?" Lucius tried not to laugh.
"Dunno, we can go see, she's explaining it to them now."
"No I want to talk to Ty, come on we'll see what's going on in the Great Hall." He got up and left the dorm followed by Severus, they quickly passed the common room with only small hey's.
Once they got to the Great Hall they noticed nothing out of the ordinary so they wandered outside. As soon as they looked around they saw Damion, Taglen's sidekick, in a chokehold from Sirius. Tyson was standing off to the side looking through a black bag that seemed to be Damion's. Even though Damion was struggling against Sirius it didn't matter much Sirius was bigger than Damion even though they were in the same year.
"Uh oh, this looks bad" Severus laughed.
"Yeah I guess we better go break it up huh?" Lucius agreed. They laughed and slowly made their way over to the three others.
"Um Ty dear...why do you have one of my Slytherins in a choke hold?" Lucius asked grinning. Tyson looked up surprised and almost dropped the bag she was ransacking.
"Oh hey Malfoy, what are you up to?" Sirius gave off a fake sarcastic smile.
"I don't have him in a choke hold...Sirius does." She laughed.
"Either way could you please let him go?" Tyson's smiled turned into a frown. Obviously she didn't want to but she didn't want to make Lucius mad. So with a glance at Sirius who was glaring at her trying to tell her with his eyes not to say okay she looked back at Lucius.
"Why?" She asked simply.
"Because I asked you to?" He smirked.
"Fine, Sirius let him go." She said emotionlessly, without any kind of expression in her voice. Sirius paused a moment, he knew it wasn't what she wanted to say but it was what she meant so he reluctantly let Damion go who quickly grabbed his bag from Tyson's hands. She didn't put up any fight to keep it, she simply let him have it.
"Thank-you Ty." Lucius grinned.
"Yeah sure." She shrugged, "Come on Sirius we have other things to do." She started for the school.
"Ty don't be like this." Lucius called up to her, "Come here and talk to me...please." The please was not a request it was more of a demand in the disguise of one. Tyson sighed heavily but started back down the steps but Sirius took hold of her arm.
"What are you doing? Come on we have things to do."
"Black leave her alone, let her make her own decisions on what to she wants to do." Lucius snarled up at Sirius, "Ty babe, come here. Away from that dolt." He motioned a hand towards her for her to take with her own hand.
"Ty!" Sirius looked at her in surprise when she tried to pull away.
"I'm sorry Sirius, I'll catch up with you later." This time she managed from his grip and made her way towards Lucius.
"Severus, Damion, leave us." Lucius motioned the two Slytherins away. They came up and past Sirius going into the Castle, after a moment of glaring at Tyson and Lucius he followed.
"You know putting people under spells is against the rules here at school." Sirius called to Severus and Damion.
"Yep your right." Severus sneered over his shoulder.
"Lucius shouldn't get caught, he should be less obvious" Sirius smiled at the two as they turned to face him.
"What are you implying Black?" Damion asked.
"I'm not implying anything I'm saying that if Lucius is going to put people under charms to like him he should do it less obviously."
"He doesn't have any charms on anyone."
"No? What about Tyson?" The Slytherins had walked back towards Sirius and were getting dangerously close.
"What about her?" Severus knew what he meant but wanted to make him say it.
"What about the spell he's cast on her?"
"There are none on her."
"Your right, he's just scared her into liking him...am I right?" Sirius stood his ground.
"You better watch it Black." Damion got up in his face.
"Or what?" Sirius smirked, but just then Professor Dumbledor walked into the Entrance Hall making Damion back away from Sirius. Moments later Tyson and Lucius walked into the castle.
"Come on Tyson, we're going up to the Common Room." Sirius was prepared to take her arm and drag her away from the Slytherin boys and for her to put up a fight. But when he took her wrist he found that she followed him easily, still expressionless.
"Remember Black...watch it." Damion called up to him. Sirius was about to turn around and zap him once really good with his wand but Tyson suddenly came to life and pulled him away taking his hand that held his wand into hers so he couldn't use it. She dragged him up to the common room hoping that a nice evening with their friends would calm both of their raging heads down.
Tyson was right when she had thought her friends could cheer her and Sirius up, within minutes they were laughing and what not. Before long the sun was setting behind the line of trees that was the forest.
"Hey guys are you ready?" Tyson asked pulling her back towards her by the strap.
"For what?" Sirius asked absent mindedly. Tyson looked up at him as if he was crazy.
"Does this ring a bell?" She shook the suran wrap box in the air. Sirius looked up and just about jumped out of his skin smiling. He nodded then motioned for Tyson to toss it to him, which she did, "Now remember Jena, Belen, and Ben are in this one too so you have to wait for them. They'll be sitting against the Grand Staircase in the corner at 12:30."
"Ok, but how much have you got of that stuff?" Rory asked eyeing the box that Sirius still held.
"Well Charlie sent me five for tonight then gradually he'll end up sending 10 more." Tyson shrugged getting out the remain four from her bag.
"That sounds kinda a lot." Sophie stated.
"No you'll see that each night will need a lot for each bed and toilet and even then we won't do all of them." Sophie muttered a small 'oh'. "But anyways like I asked before are you guys ready?"
"Yeah of course hey let me see the rest of them I'll put them in my bag after I go empty it out." Sirius waved away the question Tyson had just asked as he dumped out his bag on the floor. She looked at him a moment then tossed the boxes to him. He stuffed them in his now empty bag and put the bag on the couch next to him then scooped up every thing that had been in the bag and made towards his dorm room.
"Are you going to be okay working with him tonight Rory?" Lily asked looking up from her book.
"What? Oh yeah why wouldn't I?" He looked over to her.
"Um perhaps because you two haven't been on the best of terms." She closed the book slightly keeping her page with a finger curled into the book.
"Oh no, we're cool now." Rory said though he knew the group only half believed him, which was smart of them.
"Hey Black, grab my cloak while your up there, you guys can borrow it. You know where it is right?" James called up to Sirius who was close to the door of the dorms.
"Yeah I do, and thanks!" He called back down, a moment later a door was heard opening then closing again. It was just seconds later that the door was heard opening and closing again, then Sirius appeared on the stairs holding only the cloak. As he reached the couches again he plopped down on one and dropped the cloak next to him. "so we need to leave by 12:20?" He looked towards Tyson.
"Yep." Was all that he got back, she had been surprisingly working on her homework and was absorbed into it to deep to care about what time someone needed to be where. Even if it was a prank she wasn't in it so she didn't care...much. As if reading her thoughts Sirius spoke up again.
"I wish you were coming Ty." She looked up at him surprised that he would say something like that in front of others as well!
"Well I'll get to help just in 2 weeks." She shrugged modestly.
"Yeah well this is the first one, and you basically thought up the idea you should try it first."
"Are you saying you want to switch places then?" She looked at him skeptically.
"No I'm saying you, me, James, and Peter should be pulling this one." He whined.
"And leave the hardest one open?"
"No, we could do that one too."
"Whatever Sirius, we're leaving the order like it is. So shut-up about it." Tyson rolled her eyes and went back to her homework. A few hours later the clocks chimed 12, not many people were left in the common room, those who were still there were all in deep conversation and explanations about the up coming prank.
