Alas, even Fred and George will never be mine, they belong to JKR. But then, I couldn't imagine having to fight Cailtin over them. Harry and Ron came out to play for this chapter, and I got a bit carried away. Christmas ends up spanning three chapters, hope no one minds.
Oh, by the way, I'm still not making any money. I think I'll have to make more humiliating things happen to my sisters until they make with the pizza and smoothies.
Kerri Potter and the Little Sisters of Doom!
Chapter Five: Nothing Says Party like Weasely's Wizarding Weezes.
The last of the parcels from seven owls were delivered directly to Caitlin's bed. After the snowball fight she made her way up past the fat lady and changed into warm, dry clothing, and put the finishing touches on two large presents. With some quick wand work she levitated them behind her, and skipped downstairs to the group Christmas celebration. Everyone was supposed to bring presents for someone else, and gifts would be exchanged. There was a classroom that would have been perfect for the things she had planned, students were decorating the room with gold and silver garlands when Caitlin snuck in and placed her gifts on the table. She was wearing her new robes, and had got the Weasely's Wizarding Weezes test gags special for the occasion. Her two little sisters wouldn't know what hit them.
Ever since Kerri called her a goody-goody at the beginning of the year, Caitlin was planning to make Kerri regret those words. She decided that today was her chance, when there weren't any other Prefects around. She hung spelled mistletoe above the doorway, in front of the Christmas tree, fire, and over one of the chairs. If people walked in pairs underneath it, they would be forced to kiss. She also procured a magical karaoke machine which only played naughty Christmas carols, trick jellybeans (only the nasty flavors), Flabbergabber Fudge, Truth or Dare Toffees, Bubbling Soda pop, U-Glow Gumballs, and those were just for the party. She had saved the really bad ones for later.
Someone had thought to bring a tree to decorate, popcorn to pop over the fire, exploding snap, and the Wireless was playing. More students started trickling in with presents, talking and laughing.
Kerri, with the help of Blaise, had spent part of the afternoon booby trapping the room Caitlin had invited them to for the party. Suits of armor were charmed to insult people as they walked by, and they had borrowed an evergreen tree from the great hall and cursed it to swat at people trying to decorate it. They were satisfied with the results, and Kerri handed the bag of candy to her friend. They went back to their common room to retrieve the gifts for the party, and snuck into the kitchens to get some snacks.
Krista and her clone had eaten most of their candy, and were dancing around the Gryffindor common room on Hogwarts biggest sugar high in history. They were using anything as a drum, or guitar as they leapt across couches and chairs. The portraits were scandalized. Of course, all they saw was Krista dancing with a badly decorated sheet. They had barely made it to the classroom in time for the excitement, and at last minute Krista decided to transfigure a deer statue into a reindeer to ride into the party. Her clone had chose to remain in the common room talking to the goldfish.
Caitlin was flitting about the party, butterbeer in hand talking and laughing with her friends and generally having a good time. She almost fell over laughing when Harry and Ron walked in the door together, and turned to each other to kiss. The looks on their faces were priceless. Pretty soon everyone was pushing each other under the door to see if anything would happen. Caitlin 'accidentally' bumped into Ginny on her way for some fudge, and she toppled into Harry. The whistles and catcalls weren't nearly as bad when they kissed as when Harry and Ron did, but Ginny blushed redder than her hair.
"Damn
Harry, how many Weasely's are you going to kiss?" Someone
shouted.
"Yeah, save one for me!" Kirsten added.
Caitlin
didn't realize it, but she accidentally picked up a piece of
Flabbergabber Fudge, and nibbled on it absentmindedly as she watched
Kirsten try and lure Ron under a different area with mistletoe. As
soon as she tasted it, she immediately tried to spit it out but it
was too late. She tried to cover her mouth, but that didn't work
either. She was soon talking rapid fire about how much she loved
cheese until a minute passed and the effects wore off.
Kerri was watching all the people around her, and made a note to make sure she wasn't walking anywhere with anyone else. Krista came trotting in on a giant reindeer, and because of the mistletoe, she ended up kissing it. Everyone was asking her when the wedding was. She parked her new pet towards the back of the class and gulped down some pumpkin juice.
Kerri
piled a plateful of food and sat in front of the fire and laughed as
she watched a first year Hufflepuff get thrown across the room by the
violent Christmas tree. A Ravenclaw girl opened a bottle of blue
soda, and soon she was burping glittery blue and pink bubbles. Kerri
grabbed to bottles of the soda, and 'yoinked' Zambini from the
clutches of two other giggling Hufflepuff girls. She popped the tops,
and handed him one clinking her glass against his. "Cheers!"
He sniffed the bottle warily, then drank from the contents. His eyes
widened as he hiccupped a couple of brightly colored bubbles. Kerri
laughed, and three green bubbles flew out her mouth.
"These
are great!" She said, blowing bubbles while she spoke.
"They're
kind of gross..." Zambini said.
"Most funny things are,
betcha I can blow a bigger bubble than you can!"
"How
much are you betting?"
Kerri elbowed him in the side, and
blew a giant multi-colored bubble. It popped over Zambini's head.
Krista has roped some of the Ravenclaw girls into singing with her, and they were all making a lot of noise. Kirsten had chased Ron around the room, but they both gave up once they saw the food table. Ron was stuffing his mouth indiscriminately with food, and Harry was joining him. Kirsten watched in dismay, and Katie Bell poked her in the side. "Look at how messy he eats, imagine how badly he kisses."
Harry
almost choked on his treacle tart when he heard this, but Ron just
kept eating. Katie looked at Kirsten and grinned, mouthing, Are you
thinking what I'm thinking? Kirsten mouthed back, No... Katie was
already innocently putting food on her plate, and grabbed two glasses
of butterbeer. She looked meaningfully at Kirsten, then at the Truth
or Dare Toffees, then at Kirsten. Kirsten looked blankly at Katie
Bell. Katie slapped her forehead with her hand, grabbed some of the
toffees, and plunked them into a glass of butterbeer. The cup fizzed
for a second, then went back to normal. Kirsten grinned and plunked
toffees in each glass.
Katie pulled her aside, "You idiot!
Now all the butterbeer has those candies in them." Kirsten
shrugged. "Why is this a bad thing." They giggled and
watched Ron gulp down his drink.
"Ron... I dare you
to..."
Krista crashed the party by placing a microphone in
front of his face. "Truth or dare Ron?"
He looked
startled. "Wha?"
Harry explained the rules to him, and
Ron shrugged. "Truth."
Krista looked
disappointed.
Kirsten took the microphone from her and asked, "Was
Harry your first kiss?"
Ron's face turned bright red again,
and he looked around desperately... Now his voice was amplified, but
he couldn't stop himself.
"Noooooooooooeeeh. Yes."
Harry
just shrugged, "Sorry mate, was it good for you then?"
The
party went on like this before dinner, people coming, going, coming
back... When everyone was full of butterbeer and food, they sat in
the cozy chairs and couches around the fire. No less than thirteen
pairs of people had kissed, and now everyone pretty much knew where
the mistletoe hung, and had spelled it down with their wands.
After
eating a U-glo gumball, Krista flared up a neon yellow. Someone
Nox'ed the lights and Krista looked like a glowworm in the darkness.
Caitlin was trying to get everyone to play Truth or Dare, but no one
was really interested anymore. Ron was pouting at being embarrassed
until someone pointed out that at least he didn't kiss the reindeer.
No one was hungry for lunch, but they all decided to make a show of
it anyway, just incase someone had decided to track them down and
stop the party. Someone like Professor Snape. Everyone who brought a
gift agreed to meet back in the room after dinner for hot chocolate
around the fire.
Krista rode her Reindeer to lunch, with the two Ravenclaw girls she had befriended in tow. Although they were a little uneasy at the fact that even though they told her their names three times that day, she still referred to them as minions.
