Chapter 2
Prankster's Together
Right after the feast Artemis and Rachel went to find each other.
"There's an inner house rivalry between Slytherin and Gryffindor. Merlin if looks could kill both houses would be dead," Rachel said.
"Figures. Well we made a promise, let's keep it," Artemis said. Rachel gave Artemis a hug which shocked her though she hugged back.
"Well I got to go find some
git to bring me to the common room, later!" Artemis said pulling
out of the hug.
Rachel nodded and walked to a bushy-haired girl
while Artemis went over to a pug-faced girl. "You shouldn't make
friends with Gryffindors," a blonde haired boy said.
"Yeah and who are you to
tell me what to do?" Artemis snapped back angrily. Rachel had
turned around and seen what was happening.
Both girls seemed to
sense each others emotions, though only knowing each other for a
while.
"Draco Malfoy," the blonde haired boy said arrogantly.
"Oh, I know your cousin, Damien, in Durmstrang. He's just as much of a stuck-up, arrogant, self-centered, prickly git as you are," Artemis snapped. Most students had stopped to watch and were snickering. Draco raised his wand.
"Try it," Artemis dared him. Rachel knew this was not good. From what she knew of Artemis this was going to be a nasty hex.
"Rict..." Draco started but was cut off as Artemis flicked her wrist and muttered a spell. Draco's hair went bright baby blue and lengthened to fall in ringlets. His skin turned lime green and he was in a frilly pink dress.
"Really Draco, you don't have to wear pink to be noticed," Artemis mocked.
"Believe
me, we can see your big arrogant ass in a crowd anywhere," she
finished. With that she turned away. She winked discreetly at her
friend as Rachel winked back.
"You seem to know that
Slytherin," a voice behind Rachel said. She whirled around to see
Harry Potter, a Weasley and Hermione.
"Yes,
I do. There a problem?" Rachel asked.
"YES! That's a
Slytherin!" Hermione said, but was cut off from saying anymore as
Dymbledore, Snape and the strict looking teacher she had learned was
McGonagoll swept onto the scene.
"Malfoy what has happened?"
Snape asked his pupil who was trying various spells on himself to rid
himself of the hex.
"The
new girl hexed me!" Malfoy accused, pointing a finger at Artemis.
"Malfoy was prepared to hex her, she merely defended herself by
cutting him off in the assault," Rachel said. Artemis cast a smile.
"Nevertheless please refrain from making a reputation here
too, Miss Grenier I doubt the staff will be able to manage it, as I
hear you were expelled from more then just Durmstrang," McGonagoll
said, expecting the Slytherin to be ashamed, as all students were
when McGonagoll scolded. Instead she just grinned insanely.
"Now if Miss DuBois and Miss Grenier will follow me. There are matters to be discussed," Dumbledore said breaking the conversation.
"But
first if McGonagoll and Snape will assist me we must sort out young
Mr. Malfoy," Dumbledore said. Then something happened that scared
the teachers out of there wits. Dumbledore failed at removing the
spell. Both Snape and McGonagoll tried but to no avail.
"It's
semi-permanent," Artemis explained.
"Neither
the dress, hair or skin color will come off for a week," Rachel
grinned at her friend.
"Now if you two will please follow
me?" Dumbledore asked. The two friends locked arms and followed the
three professors.
Students on the way to there common rooms
stared at the scary sight before them. A Gryffindor and a Slytherin
walking together, as best friends.
"Were freaking everyone out," Rachel said.
"Good,"
Artemis replied. It was funny watching everyone stare.
They
reached the gargoyle that appeared to be Dumbledores office. "Skiving
snackboxs," Dumbledore said clearly. The three teachers and two
best friends walked in.
Dumbledore conjured four chairs in
front of his desk and motioned for them to sit down.
"First:
Miss Grenier what is the cure for this hex you have put on Mr.
Malfoy?" Dumbledore asked.
"Troublemakers
secret," Artemis declared. Rachel rolled her eyes and smiled.
"Clearly I won't progress in that subject. So, would the two of
you be interested in sharing a special dorm? It's for exchange
students. It has its own bathroom, small common room and a dorm to
share. You will both have access to your house common rooms of
course," Dumbledore said. Rachel and Artemis didn't even have to
look at each other to know the others answer.
"Yes,"
they said in unison.
Artemis gave a small whistle in the small
pause that followed. No one noticed.
"Well good, your Heads
will lead you there after. Now, Miss Grenier since your record seems
to have been modified by someone I would like to know exactly how
many schools you have been expelled from." Dumbledore said.
"Well there were three private schools for girls that I got kicked
out of all in one year. I managed to stay in a school in America
called Franksters school for witchcraft and wizardry for my whole
second year.
"In my third year I was back in England and helped Sirius Black get to Hogwarts because I knew about the rat, got kicked out for making the distraction for him to get away. Umm fourth and fifth year I got kicked out of four different schools two in Asia and one in Australia and one in Africa.
"After
that I went to Durmstrang for two months and pulled a million of
pranks and didn't get caught once though I was suspected, before I
turned my teachers heads into fruits and got expelled," Artemis
said it all rather proudly making Rachel giggle.
Snape and
McGonagoll looked like they were going to die. "Shit. This is going
to be one hell of a year," Snape said. Everyone turned to him in
surprise.
"Damn. Did I say that out loud?" Snape asked. Everyone was laughing.
"Fuck,
I knew it! They did something to me!" Snape said before just
putting his hands over his mouth.
"Miss Grenier what did you
do to him!" McGonagoll asked. Artemis grinned like she knew a
secret they didn't.
"Sorry
teach this wasn't me!" Artemis said. Suddenly both girls fell off
there chairs laughing.
"Miss DuBois?" McGonagoll asked her
face unbelieving. Rachel smiled.
"That's it!" Dumbledore said in frustration.
"McGonagoll
take them to there rooms, I need to go and buy as much aspirin as
possible considering the headache these two are going to give me!"
he said.
"But Dumbledore tonight you promised we'd have
sex!" McGonagoll complained. Snape choked and fell to the floor.
"What the hell did you do to them?" Artemis whispered.
You're having a very bad influence on me," Rachel whispered back.
"While
you were telling them about your expulsions I put a spell on them to
say whatever is on there minds."
"McGonagoll but what about
your affair with me!" Snape yelled angrily. Suddenly the spell wore
off and all three teachers turned angry eyes to the two girls.
Not bothering to find out where there room was the two girls ran out
of there.
