Firstly before I start this chapter, Happy Holidays to all, and now to the story.
Chapter 4: Lessons to be learned.
"It's time we talk Miss. Potter" Dumbledore said. Tara looked at him wide eyed and asked "About what, sir?" he looked at her and took off his glasses wiped them off, and put them back on. "We need to talk about your position. You live with a former Death Eater and his family." He finally said. "You mean I live with my godparents and their son, right?" she asked. She looked at him with big blue eyes that she had changed to on her way down, the hair however was still the same hot pink it was yesterday. "Of course I meant that, but you're not in a very good situation for when young Harry comes to Hogworts in three years. What will he think? In my opinion I think we need to transfer you to the Dursleys. There you can teach Harry but his parents and let him know he does have family." Dumbledore said. Tara looked at him, slowly she changed her big blue eyes grey, which meant she wasn't planning on showing any emotion and asked, "Are you saying that you want me to leave the home I have had since I was 3?" He looked at her and replied, "Well yes."
Tara stormed out of his office without any warning. How dare he suggest that she leave her home? She would see Harry when she saw him, three years. That's when, not a moment sooner. She knew in her heart that Dumbledore would have his way and she would go to the muggles. She would have to, and it would be at the end of this year. It was apparent that her feet were taking her up to the owlery, how she knew where that was, she had no idea, but she did. When she got there Snowy swooped down with a letter from her aunt. She would reply later right now she was too steamed.
On her way to the Great Hall she ran into the twins with the flaming red hair. "Hello luv, my name is Fred Weasly and this wonderful fellow is George. We are the top pranksters of this school; the teachers however call us troublemakers. And you are?" The boy had said this all very fast. Tara looked at him and answered, "Tara Lynn Potter, your new rival in top prankster, unless, you let me join you two." The two boys looked at each other and seemed somehow to be talking some weird twin language, then the boy called Fred said, "We will let you join, on one condition, you play a prank on Snape, take the detention, and your in with us. We will teach you everything we know. Deal?" "Deal" Tara answered. Fred took her one arm and George the other arm. "Well then my dear off we go to the wonders of dinner." George said. They went off to the great hall and Tara told them that she was a metamorphous. They talked about the weirdest things.
That night Tara stayed up late working on the prank that would go down in the morning. Finally it was perfect. She went to bed and could not wait to see everyone's face when she pulled it.
The next morning she changed her hot pink hair to flaming red hair, her eyes dark green. Her usual Hogworts robes were perfect for the day's event. She looked exactly like her mother Lily Evans, the woman Snape hated the most for her living in the muggle world and being raised muggle. She walked down the stairs thinking how interesting this would be. The Weasly twins were coming to walk with her. There they were exactly on time. Everything was going according to plan. "Hello my dear, how are you on this lovely morning?" Fred asked her smiling. Tara noticed his adorable little dimples on is cheeks when he smiled. "Oh just lovely and you two, how are you?" she asked. In unison they said "Brilliant just brilliant." They walked the rest of the way in silence. The same thing was on all or their minds. Will the prank work? The twins knew whether it worked or not another player in the game of pranks was good only if that player was on their team. If they didn't put her on their team they could lose their status of top pranksters.
They entered the Great Hall and they took their places at their tables and Tara sat especially close to the grand table with all the teachers around. She had set everything up last night when she sneaked out of the Ravenclaw common room. Now all she had to do was trigger the bucket full of toad spawn, honey, melted chocolate, and her personal favorite, flower perfume. She was nervous, the things running through her head was how much trouble will I get in?
She was holing the bucket with "Wingardium Leviosa" and then she released the spell and the bucket started to fall. As it was going down to make contact with its target it started to turnover, the goo started to drip, and finally it made contact with Snape's head. His expression was hilarious, he sniffed the goo and then his face erupted into embarrassment then he yelled "Who did this?" Tara smiled then waved. He walked down from the high table, and grabbed her arm, dragged her out to the Entrance Hall and……
Okay another cliffhanger. I will get to Harry don't worry. Soon at the end of Tara's first year. Criticism is approved.
