Chapter 9

Discovering

Hall
"Your completely insane, who's idea was that?" Snape asked. He was happy
someone finally did something to show Dumbledore, Voldemort, Potter, and
Malfoy that there were people out there more powerful and more intelligent
then them.

"Troubles'," Rogue said with a grin.

"Artemis," Minerva said dryly.

"Well teaches, Thanks, of course we would have so pranked you guys into oblivion if you didn't so you didn't really have a choice but thanks anyways and for today I suggest you stay away from all staircases and levitate yourselves up floors," Trouble said as she and Rogue shared a grin. Both professors shuddered involuntarily. They'd take Voldemort over the girl's pranks any day.

"Well here's charms goodbye," Rogue said. As she and Trouble stepped into the class ready for mischief.

"Ah Miss Grenier and Miss DuBois, please take a seat," Flitwick said as he once again began giving notes for the basic of the Protean charm. Rachel began taking small mental notes though she already knew the charm. Artemis was waiting for the demonstration.

Suddenly Flitwick began showing the class how to do it and Artemis made her move. At the beginning of class Flitwick had passed out at least ten or so coins to each student and there were a hundred for him. As soon as he began the charm with a lazy wave of her hand every coin in the room levitated and began circling around Flitwick. Suddenly the books he had been standing on disappeared and the wind made by the coins was keeping him up as there speed escalated. One look in Rachel's eyes and Artemis found her partner in crime.

Suddenly different objects around the room began circling groups, or individuals, of students and soon most of the class was levitating. Some tried to move only to find they were stuck there. Suddenly that objects went back to there original places and everyone was left floating in the air.

"Someone fetch the headmaster everyone else class dismissed," Flitwick squeaked.

"Come on we still have the staircases," Artemis whispered and sped off. Together they cast the spells over all the castle stairs. Levitating to a ledge they waited for there first victim. Lucky enough for them they heard three sets of footsteps and saw nothing. Trouble pulled out there Marauders map.

"Potter, Granger and Weasley well there in for a surprise," Trouble whispered. The trio began mounting the stairs. Suddenly halfway they stopped.

"I can't move!" Hermione tried to state the obvious only to find she couldn't talk and she couldn't move. Suddenly all three wands went flying and hit the other wall and stuck there; far out of reach. All three tried to scream but no. Instead they remained invisible, speechless, restricted and wandless. Rogue and Trouble erupted into silent giggles.

Suddenly Snape and McGonagoll came arguing down the hall. Without thinking they almost began mounting the staircases. Trouble and Rogue levitated down, except they hit right into them in a tackle like form and the four fell to the ground.

"Another prank!" Minerva said in a hoarse, outraged whisper. Artemis grinned.

"We warned you," Rachel reminded. Snape nodded and swiftly untangled himself from the pile. The girls followed suit.

"I suggest you stay away from all staircases, oh yeah and these spells won't wear off until midnight," Artemis added.

"Minerva, I suggest we leave," Severus suggested.

"Oh yeah, Heads, earlier we were eavesdropping on the teachers and there's going to be a Halloween masquerade ball, is that true?" Artemis asked.

"Don't deny it," Rachel added. A thin nod from Rachel's head was all they got before they turned and left.
