Chapter 2
"So, you wanna go out with me, huh? I knew this day would come," Sirius said. We were at the lunch table and Sirius had plopped himself between me and James which, was a good idea considering I was ready to rip his head off.
"Nope, I was only comparing you to Daniel," I said hotly. I looked over at James who was having the same conversation with Lily.
"I'm going to say this one last time James Potter. I will go out with you when hell freezes over," and she stormed off to her next class. I went to follow her but I was grabbed by the elbow.
"Come one Gwen, what would one date do?" Sirius asked sincerely. I stared at him a moment before replying.
"Sirius, I will go out with you when Lily goes out with James," I stated calmly and went to find Lily.
"What is the plan again?" someone asked as I passed a hallway on my way to the library.
"You make Gwyneth Potter fall in love with you; I'll handle the rest. Knowing her, she'll fall head over heals for you and then we'll use the fact against her," another person answered. I cautiously looked around the corner and say Daniel and Emily Parkington deep in conversation. I silently backed away and down the hall and took the longer way back to the common room. By the time I made it there, the bell rang for classes to start but I wasn't going. I had planning to do.
"Hi Daniel," I said in with my most girly attitude. I asked Penelope Brown to help me with my make-up and hair for the date and I looked great.
"Wow Gwen, you looked really pretty. Are you ready to study?" Daniel asked, placing his books on the table. I put my hand on his to stop him.
"I have a better idea. I know this great studying technique but it isn't suitable for in the library," I said grabbing his hand and leading him out of the library.
"Where, are we going then?" he asked curiously. I smiled mischievously.
"You'll see," I said, again more girly than usual. I stopped in the middle of a deserted hallway facing a broom closet.
"Are we going in there?" Daniel asked skeptical. I nodded grinning from ear to ear.
"Just for a minute," I replied happily and pushed him inside.
"Gwen," Daniel started to say but I cut him off.
"Shut up and light your wand; I can't see a thing in here." He did. I pulled out my wand and walked behind him and pointed it at his pants.
"Where we're going, you'll need to fit in," I explained while I worked. Being James' sister, I new every trick in the book. A minute later, Daniel's pants were completely gone and I had turned his underwear pink with little red hearts.
"What the hell is this?" Daniel asked me angrily. I shrugged, trying to keep myself composed.
"At the exclusive club we're going to, all the men dress like this. That way, they act more vulnerable and more polite to ladies," I explained matter of factly. I went to open the door but Daniel stopped me.
"There is now way I am walking out of here looking like this," he said. I sighed and handed him my cloak, then opened the door again and led him to the Great Hall. Daniel stopped me outside the door.
"Isn't this where the Dueling Club meets?" he asked me looking skeptical. I shook my head.
"Not tonight. Something happened and they had to reschedule the meeting," I explained. "I need my cloak back." He reluctantly handed me my cloak. I opened the doors and pushed him inside.
"Hello everyone," I said to the crowd. Everyone turned and started laughing hysterically at Daniel. He turned to my bright in the face while I tried to look innocent.
"You tricked me. This is the dueling club and nobody's wearing this," he said accusingly.
"You lied to me, so I guess we're even. The study date was a joke to you anyway; you didn't really like me, you were just doing Emily Parkington's bidding. You're lucky I didn't do something worse," and I ran through the doors.
"Gwen, wait," he said running after me. I heard a burst of laughter. I turned and walked back to the door. Standing in the doorway was Daniel but his mousy brown hair was now bubblegum pink.
"Really Gwen?" he said. I chuckled.
"Sorry but that wasn't me," I said laughing harder.
"It was us." James and Sirius emerged from the crowd. The crowd laughed even harder.
"Change me back, all three of you. I don't know what is wrong with you Potters," Daniel whined.
"Fine, I'll change you back, but I don't know what spell Gwen used on your pants. Nice job by the way." I nodded. Sirius flourished his wand and Daniel's hair was changed back.
"If you ever mess with Gwen again, the last thing you will be worrying about is your perfect hair," Sirius threatened. I rolled my eyes. Daniel nodded and turned to me and I reluctantly brought him back his pants with a wave of my wand. Then Daniel was gone.
"You okay baby," Sirius asked wrapping his arms over my shoulder. I shrugged them off.
"I can fend for myself Sirius, but thank you for your concern," and I stalked off to Gryffindor Tower.
