Chapter Thirteen: Mischief and Mayhem.
Christina and Manda started with the hallways around the flat. There was a definite air of mischief surrounding the two girls. They moved on to corridors that Christina had never been into. Manda and Christina had started playing 'secret agaent'. They had discovered a hidden passageway behind a tapestry of two young wizards. Manda was moving down the corridor with her side to the wall, playing like she had a gun. All of the sudden she jumped back and knocked Christina and herself over.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Christina yelled at Manda.
"There's something alive on that wall!" Manda yelled at Christina. A loud burst of laughter interrupted the beginning of an argument between the two girls Harry and Ron suddenly became visible in front of them.
"Bloody Hell Harry!" Christina yelled again, more out of surprise that anything. Harry helped Christina up, as Ron did the same for Manda. They continued along the corridor, and came out in the DADA corridor.
"Hey, let's go see Remus!" Harry said. So they spent the half hour before dinner visiting with Remus. After they left they joined Harry and Ron in eating at the Gryffindor table. There was only a vague explanation from Dumbledore as to why Manda was joining them. After dinner Harry and Ron went back to their common room with Draco and Hermione, and the girls went back to the flat. They got into a wizard's duel of sorts. Instead of throwing hexes and curses at each other, they were throwing amusing charms at each other. Christina made Manda's hair disappear, and Manda made Christina's robes turn a color they christened burnt puke. They had given up on charms and were brandishing their wands at each other like swords. Unbeknownst to them Harry and Draco had walked into the room. Manda tooke a swing at Christina, which Christina blocked, when the wands hit, sparks flew from the tips, and Christina and Manda were distracted from their duel, by Harry howling and stomping around trying to put his robes out. Draco drew his own wand and sent a jet of water at Harry's robes with a smirk. Christina laughed so hard, she thought she was going to be sick. Harry didn't take too kindly to that and tackled Christina. The wrestling match was just starting to get fun when Severus walked in. He raised his eyebrow at seeing two of his children wrestling on the floor and throwing mock insults at each other.
"Your father was a goat and your mother smelt of elderberries!" Christina cried, tickling Harry.
" You're a baby bat!" Harry replied flipping them both over. Severus stared at Harry, wondering how Christina was going to take this, and if he should get angry.
" I'd rather be a bat then have hair like yours, you look like a bloody porcupine!" Christina managed to get out before Harry tried to smother her with Pudge, who didn't take kindly to this. He bit Harry on the nose, and promptly ran away when he was released. Severus decided that they had gone far enough.
"Ye Gods what did I do in a past life to deserve these children! What is going on in here?" He called out. Christina and Harry froze. Manda and Draco started laughing so hard they had to hold onto each other to remain standing.
"We were just messing around dad." Harry said trying to look innocent.
"Yeah no harm no fowl dad." Christina said. She had discreetly pointed her wand at Draco and Manda. They burst into feather, and Christina swore she was going to die of burst lungs from laughing. Draco looked just like Big Bird. She had to wave her wand at them three times before she managed to put them straight. Harry and Draco promptly took up all the space on Christina's bunk, leaving the girls to find refuge on the couch. Severus sighed to himself and stalked off to find that headache potion.
" You know, I'm thinking I can make him go grey within the year." Christina said, picking up Pudge to soothe his irate kitty temper.
"I don't think so, Harry and I have been trying for damn near two years, and nothing works." Draco said idly poking Harry in the ribs.
"Is that a challenge?" Manda asked. At home Christina and Manda had very often been in trouble for doing something or other, often the prank being on Christina's step-dad.
"I believe it is." Harry replied, and thus the war began.
