Chapter Fifteen: In Which The Boys Get The Girls.

Harry, Ron, and Draco had thought long and hard about what to do to the girls to get back at them. Finally it was Ron who came up with the prank to get them.

Tuesday at lunch the three boys made their way into the Hall with carefully neutral faces. Christina, Manda, and Hermione had no idea that they were about to be had. Halfway through lunch there was a loud commotion as there was now a large neon green bat and a large shocking pink cat at the head table where Manda and Christina usually sat. Where Hermione had sat seconds before, there was now a violently orange otter. Severus put his head in his hands to hide the myrthful tears rolling down his face as he tried to hide the fact that he was laughing his ass off. There was a loud bang and where the cat had been on Saterday there was now a large shimmering dog, and like the cat a ribbon unfurled beneath the dog. It read:

" Better pranksters you'll never find.

We'll always pay you back in kind.

Our laughs are always last.

When gauntlets have been cast.

The Marauders are gone it's true.

But we'll place their wrath on you."

Signed, The Potty, The Weasle and The Ferret, the Padfoot Pranksters. Christina had to admit it was a wonderful prank, that didn't stop her from being irritated. She stretched her bat wings and found she could fly. She flew over to the Gryffindor table and perched on Harry's shoulder. Harry was laughing so hard he was shaking and taking great gasps of air. Ginny Weasley looked simply furious that the boys had got one over on the girls. She pointed her wand at Ron, who immediately ducked under the table. Christina removed herself from Harry's shoulder and settled on Ginny's shoulder. On her new perch she gave Ginny a bat kiss to let her know it was okay. She flew back to the table, as soon as she landed she was transformed back into her normal self. She saw Minerva point her wand at Manda, and she was also returned to her normal state. Minerva also righted Hermione, who cuffed Draco round the back of the head.

"Minerva, I do believe you've just become the champion of the Hogwarts Harpies." Severus said offering her a smile of consolidation.

"Well Severus, I do believe I'm the best woman for the job." She replied,with a decidedly evil glint in her eyes.
