"Bugger, I can't believe they made us do that!" Lace complained as he slouched in one of the arm chairs at Grimmauld Place, pouting as Draco paced the room, a scowl plastered on his pale features. Asher chuckled lightly from another arm chair, a book lying in his lap.
"We were the ones who asked them to help us, you know." Asher stated as he glanced up at Lace, his silver eyes gleaming with amusement. Lace huffed and glared half-heartedly at his best friend.
"Yeah, well, I still think-" The dark haired wizard was suddenly cut off at the sound of a loud thump quickly followed by three equally scared screams.
The three wizards glanced at each other before they all darted towards the door, wands already in hand. The three quickly raced up the stairs, their hearts pounding in their chest as thoughts of what could have happened to the other three began to run through their minds.
When they reached the library where the girls and Harry had gone into earlier, they burst through the door, nearly knocking off its hinges, wands drawn in front of them. Scanning the room they soon became confused as they spotted no threat or danger.
The sound of whimpering suddenly reached their ears. Turning, they found Harry, Iris and Ava cowering in the corner, their bodies trembling, as the two cousins hid further behind Harry, both gripping onto his shoulders and arms in tight grips, their knuckles white. Draco, Asher and Lace all glanced at each other again before they lowered their wands.
"What's going on?" The blond wizard asked as he scanned the room once more for any danger, but still finding nothing. Maybe whoever it was already escaped? The three cowering teens shakily pointed towards the other side of the room at an armchair.
"S-s-s-spi-spider." Ava stuttered, whimpering as she shifted further behind Harry. Her words were met with silence as the three Slytherin wizards gave the others a blank stare. Suddenly, the sound of laughter filled the room.
Harry and the two cousins quickly looked over and saw Lace full out laughing, clutching his side as he leaned against Asher for support, who was trying to keep back his own laughter. Draco also seemed to be having some trouble but the blond merely sighed, shaking his head as he pinched the bridge of his nose.
"What are you prats laughing at?" Iris growled, her eyes narrowing at the three. Draco then looked to his boyfriend, a teasing glint in his silver blue eyes.
"Really, Harry? A spider? You can go up against the Dark Lord, but you cower in fear at a mere spider?" Harry glared at the blond but didn't say anything. He knew it was silly, but really, could you blame him? Besides, he had enough of spiders during second year. The brunet shuddered at the memory.
Lace, finally able to control his laughter, stood up and smirked at the three as he twirled his wand in his right hand.
"Alright then, where is this evil spider?" He asked laughter still within is alluring voice. Iris glared at her boyfriend before pointing once more to the arm chair.
"It's over there, under the chair." Chuckling, Lace nodded his head.
"Alright boys, let's get rid of the nasty bugger, shall we?" Harry and the girls huffed as their boyfriends moved over towards the chair. The three cowered once more in the corner as the Slytherin boys grew closer to the piece of furniture. Draco then looked up at Lace and Asher as the three surrounded the chair.
"Alright, Asher, you lift the chair while Lace and I get the spider." When they both nodded their heads the three then got into positions. Asher moved to the side of the chair, placing his hands on the back of it, his finger digging into the upholstery for a firm grip.
"Okay . . . now!" Quickly Asher pulled the back of the chair down, tipping it onto its back. Just as Draco and Lace where about to cure the spider, they all froze. For right there, looking up at the, was a spider the size of a cat!
Screams filled the room once more as the three Slytherin wizards quickly moved away from the chair, racing over to where Harry, Iris and Ava were, wrapping their boyfriend and girlfriends up in their arms, frightened at the sight of the large spider.
"Where the bloody hell did that thing come from?" Draco shouted as his wide eyes followed the large spider as it scurried out away and on top of the chair it had once been under.
"I don't know! But that damn thing is huge!" Iris answered her voice shaky as she pushed further into Lace's arms.
Suddenly, the fireplace erupted with green flames, catching the attention of the six cowering teens. Seconds later the Wesley twins stepped through the green flames, brushing off any clinging soot. The two red heads looked up and spotted them, grinning at them all.
"Evening everyone." The two greeted as they waved at the six other teens, walking over to them, oblivious of their fear.
"Sorry to drop by so suddenly,"
"But we were wondering,"
"If you happened to see our little friend,"
"Horris?" The twins asked, completely in sync with each other once more. The six cowering teens slowly shook their heads, staring wide eyed at the twins. They sighed as they looked at each other.
"Well, what shall we do now, Fred?" George asked as the two turned around, about to leave. Fred opened his mouth, about to speak when he caught sight of the large spider standing on top of an overturned chair. He paused as he stared at it before grinning widely.
"Hey George, look, we've found our missing friend!" Said Wesley looked over as well, a wide grin matching his brother's spreading across his face.
"There you are, Horris!" The twins exclaimed as they quickly walked over to the large spider. It made a few weird chirping like noises as the twins grew closer. Draco stared in shock at the two brothers before glaring viciously at them.
"That thing is yours?" He bellowed disbelief in his silver blue eyes. The twins picked up the spider, cooing at it for a moment before turning towards the others.
"Of course he is,"
"Hagrid gave him to us,"
"For a prank we plan doing,"
"On our dear brother of ours." Almost instantly, Harry knew the two twins were planning on pranking Ron with that spider. That should be quite good to see. He may have to have them tell him when they plan on doing so, so he may get a front row seat. Draco would like to see it too no doubt.
"Look at him,"
"You lot scared poor Horris." The six teens gawked at the twins as they turned to the fireplace, leaving in a burst of green flames before anything else was said.
The room filled with silence as the young wizards and witches stared at the fireplace as the green flames suddenly vanished, leaving no trace of the twins or the large spider behind. A second later, Lace swallowed thickly.
"This never happened. Agreed?" Everyone nodded their heads.
"Agreed."
