A/N: I would like to apologize for the slow updates and I would also like to thank those of you who reviewed my story. I honestly didn't expect any reviews so it was nice, now on to the story.
Previously:
The twins and company finally arrived to Beauxbatons where they learned of the infamous Triwizard Tournament to be held at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Also the infamous 'murder' Sirius Black found an accomplice to make his way to sanctuary.
1 month later
The whole was abuzz with excitement; the Triwizard Tournament would begin in a little over a week and the Beauxbatons delegation would leave in one day. Students were already placing bets on who would be their champion, of course, they bet discretely as any proper Frenchmen would. The favorite to be champion was Fleur Delacour, Gabrielle's older sister, but many also bet on one of the infamous Regius twins to be champion from the simple fact that they could quite literally do anything, even take on the savage beast known as Ms. Smi, the dreaded English Professor who made even dragons and goblins cower in fear.
(Unlike most magical schools, Beaxbatons taught muggle classes as well as the normal curriculum. The school wanted to give their students as many opportunities as possible, including attending a muggle university if they chose to. They also wanted to enlighten their students to the many advances muggles had made that not even magic could fix. But enough about boring policies that make people fall asleep.)
While the rest of the school was preparing for the delegation's departure, for which six fourth years were part of, two indiscernible figures met in the shadows of dark hallway.
"Is everything set for tomorrow?" one of them asked in a voice barely audible.
"Yes, everything is ready for our Bon Voyage! Rabbit just needs to do some finishing touches and it'll be perfect!" the other whispered excitedly.
"Quiet, someone's coming," they both stilled and crept back further into the shadows as a distinctly blonde haired girl walked by them. She stopped a moment though right in front of them and the two hidden figures held their breath. The girl stood there for a moment before shrugging and moving on to where ever it was she was going to.
They both sighed in relief and the second figure spoke again, "that was close."
"Too close, we need to be more careful or we'll be caught," the first said.
The other just nodded and they went their separate ways for class. Tomorrow was going to be great.
The next day started out normally, or at least as normal as you get in a school full of magically gifted children. Terra and Cael had their morning spat, Claire scared Scott with her many comments about fan clubs and fan fiction, and Ryan and Gabrielle just enjoyed the entertainment. Overall a pretty normal morning, that is it was until Terra, Cael, and Scott reached their last class for the day, English with Ms. Smi.
Ms. Smi was an intimidating woman who could make even the strongest fear for their lives. She was around the average height for a woman with a stout build. She had short reddish blonde hair and icy blue eyes that made even the goblins cower in fear. Her class was legendary within the halls of Beauxbatons, for intense writing, harsh papers, complex grammar, and perplexing literature that would make even a genius cringe in horror. That's why upon entering the class room many students had to stop at the sight of the strictest-and-most-terrifying-nightmare-inducing-teachers-of-all-time made.
Terra blinked, and then blinked again, but the image just wouldn't leave. There were brightly colored party streamers covering the walls of the usually neat and organized room and balloons and confetti were everywhere. She had to do a double take as she saw Ms. Smi holding a giant cake covered in pink frosting and strawberries, and was that a… party hat on the woman's head. This had to be some kind of dream, or nightmare.
"WHOA Ms. Smi this is awesome what's it all for!" Scott exclaimed as he jumped into the classroom and tried to grab the cake.
"Down you little miscreant this cake isn't for you!" Ms. Smi scowled at the red fox boy and used a levitation charm to keep the boy at bay.
"Aww who's it for then? Can't you give us some, after all you're our favorite teacher," Cael pouted at her as Scott floated all the way to the ceiling.
"Yeah I want cake!" Scott shouted, unperturbed at being levitated to the ceiling.
"Well you're not getting any, this is for the rest of the class in our Farewell Little Monsters party," Ms. Smi smirked placing the cake on her desk far away from Scott and Cael.
"You think we're monsters," Scott cried broken heartedly from the ceiling, fake tears streaming down his face.
"Of course I think you're monster; you interrupt my class on a daily basis, even when you don't have my class for the day, you stalk me, and you and those other little monsters you call friends constantly plague those of us decent members of society with that loathsome little prank war that you think is funny," Ms. Smi ranted.
Yeah definitely a nightmare, Terra thought as she stared dumbfounded at the sight of Ms. Smi ranting and raving, and Scott practically sitting on the ceiling from the levitation charm. Terra sighed and rubbed her forehead feeling a headache come.
"Are you quite done with your tirade Ms. Smi because this cake is delicious! You should try some," Scott said as he and Cael stuffed their faces with the cake. During Ms. Smi's slightly long tirade Cael had canceled the levitation charm on Scott and they snuck past a ranting Ms. Smi and started to demolish the pink cake.
Terra sighed again and strode past a gaping Ms. Smi and grabbed her own piece of cake to eat at a more sedate pace than her pig of a brother and his friend.
"You know, Ms. Smi you should just stop trying like the rest of the teachers it saves us all a major migraine in the end since they always get what they want," the girl said as she ate her piece of cake.
Ms. Smi just crumpled comically on the floor and burst into tears as the rest of the class came in and enjoyed the remnants of the cake she had painstakingly made. Her good mood had vanished as she realized the truth of Terra's statement and she mourned the days before she had had the twin vampires and fox demon in her class. She was going to praise the day when she'd never have to see them ever again.
Later that day
After Ms. Smi's breakdown the twins and Scott joined Gabrielle, Ryan, and Claire as usual for dinner.
"So how was English?" Claire asked as the food appeared. Cael and Scott shared matching grins while Terra just rolled her eyes.
"Oh just the usual Claire," Scott said happily.
"Yeah, because driving Ms. Smi into a mental breakdown is 'the usual'," Terra added sarcastically.
"Aww, Terra we didn't do that, she was just tired, that's why she fell to the floor," Cael mock pouted at his sister. Terra just rolled her eyes again in response.
"Oh! You two should leave the poor woman alone!" Gabrielle scolded them, but she was still smiling.
"Ah let them do what they want to the woman, I heard she was a demon," Ryan added.
"Hey! If she is a demon do you think I have a chance with her?" Scott asked excitedly. Cael pouted since that meant less of a chance for him to have a chance with the woman. Ryan just sighed tiredly at their antics.
"Scott what about your fan club, you don't want those poor girls to cry do you?" Claire asked smiling innocently.
All around the banquet hall random girls with only one thing in common sneezed.
"What fan club do you guys keep talking about!" the red fox asked in frustration. He had never heard of this so called fan club before. Gabrielle and Claire giggled at his ignorance while Terra and Ryan just sighed… again.
"It's okay buddy you don't need to know, have an éclair" Cael said soothing the fox boy's frustration with food. Food was always the answer when you needed to calm down. At least it was for Cael.
"Aww, but he needs t-"Claire never got to finish her sentence as a loud bang reverberated throughout the hall accompanied with a bright flash of light causing a halt in all conversations.
As soon as the light faded laughter filled the halls as students looked at each other. Even the teachers had to crack a small laugh at the harmless prank. Instead of the normal light blue uniform the students were all dressed up in muggle Halloween costumes ranging from ghost to princess. There was even a student dressed as a horse- poor Bartimus Powl-. Many thought that Cael, Scott, and Ryan were responsible, for it seemed like one of their pranks, until they saw the poor boys who looked miserable in pink.
Ryan seemed to be the best off since he was just dressed in a pink suit, it was Cael and Scott that made everyone doubt their involvement. Scott was dressed in a frilly pink dress fit for a princess, including the silver tiara, jewelry, and even makeup. Needless to say the pink clashed horribly with his red hair. Cael on the other hand was wearing a big pink tutu, black leggings, and cat ears and tail with pink color studded with fake diamonds and round bell (imagine the outfit Sakura wears when she caught the thunder card in Card Captor Sakura). It was quite the sight to see the normal pranksters at the wrong end of a prank. (Note that poor Bartimus Powl felt much better after seeing them)
The boys looked hilarious and Claire took a picture for her scrap book. The girls had successfully won the first battle in the prank was. And revenge was sweet thought Terra as Cael tried and failed at removing the costume.
After the laughter died down some Madame Maxime stood and -to the relief of many and disappoint of a few- removed the rather complex charm used to pull off the prank. However it didn't seem to work on Cael, Scott, and Ryan, much to their horror and dismay.
"Well I think after tonight's entertainment it is time for bed, and for those departing to Hogwarts to head to the carriage," Madame Maxime announced still smiling at the embarrassing predicament three of her favorite students were in. With a much happier note than before all of the students began to depart.
"And will Cael Regius, Terra Regius, Scott Miles, Gabrielle Delacour, Claire de Lune, and Ryan Wolfe please come here," the headmistress ordered before the six pranksters snuck out.
The three girls cringed as they were called realizing that they had been caught even though they placed the charms on themselves too. Gabrielle had been in a rabbit suit, Claire had been a ninja, and Terra had been Luigi from Super Mario Brothers (not that many people understood that they just thought she was a leprechaun).
The six friends approached the teachers' table timidly three in embarrassment and three in guilty nervousness.
"Well, seeing your reactions I can tell who committed this prank, and as entertaining as it was it is still against the rules," said Madame Maxime sternly (although she was smiling on the inside). The girls cringed again and stared at the ground as the boys glared at them.
"Girls your punishment should be to remove you from the delegation to Hogwarts for the tournament," Madame Maxame told the girls. They immediately looked at the headmistress in horror and even the boys looked slightly taken aback at the harsh punishment. (It wouldn't be a prank was unless the girls came too)
"But Madame Maxime, no one got hurt and the boys will be back to normal in about an-"
"I said should be, not that it will be," Madame Maxime interrupted Claire, "I think do to the impressiveness of the spell work needed to perform this prank particularly on these boys that we can still allow you three to be a part of the delegation."
The girls sighed in relief and Terra began to thank the headmistress when Madame Maxime spoke again, "On one condition, you three will have one thousand or more word essay written on the mechanisms behind the spells and charms that you used in this prank handed to me by the end of November."
"But what if one of gets chosen to compete?" Claire asked.
"I still expect the essay girls no excuses, now let's depart to the carriage shall we, I still must introduce the chaperone," Madame Maxime smiled and led them to the carriage that would take them to an interesting year in England, that would reveal several truths that have been hidden for years.
And there is the end of chapter six. Gosh this chapter was difficult to write for some reason, and the next chapter will see the twins and friends plus Aurorus at Hogwarts. I hope you all enjoyed it and review and even if you didn't like it review cuz I would appreciate constructive criticism. Well I bid you adieu until next time.
