Power of the Mage: Blast to the Past
Pranks and More Pranks
The next morning in the entrance hall the group heard several Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff kids making fun of Malfoy and the other Slytherin boy because they still had hot pink hair.
Syaoran turned to the group. "Which prank?"
The group consulted the list and this time Sakura picked out the prank. "That one. Maybe it'll teach them not to make fun of others."
The group filed into the Great Hall like normal and sat down at the far end of the Griffindor table. Several minutes later Sakura and Haru (there were 3 or 4 kids to prank) discreetly pointed their wands and mumbled a spell. Everyone laughed harder than they did when the two Slytherin's had their hair changed to pink.
This time, instead of their hair being turned pink, they were in a full clown costume. Again, a banner appeared and another message was read out loud.
"You were warned. We will not tolerate people making fun of other people."
The same as last time, the banner was signed, The Heirs.
The Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students who were pranked ran out of the hall in shame. No one was laughing at them now. Many people were nervous and a little scared to comment on the prank to their neighbours in case whoever was responsible for the prank could hear them.
The rest of lunch went by almost normal until a seventh year Griffindor decided to verbally attack Irrisa.
"You know no one wants a Potter female heir and no one believes you are the chosen one." He sneered.
"We don't care what you think." Haru shot back.
"I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to the 'heir'." He emphasized the word heir.
"If you've got something to say you can say it out loud to all of us." Sakura stated.
At this point, they had gotten the attention of the whole hall who were listening in.
"Alright then." The Griffindor turned to Irrisa. "I know I'm speaking for a lot f people when I say you are a disgrace to purebloods."
During this, James was sitting at the head table, smirking.
"No one believes you are the chosen one and that your demonstration from advanced duelling class was a sham."
"Yeah! Get away from our table you disgrace!" A fourth year Griffindor yelled out.
Before Irrisa or any of the group could reply a voice called out from across the hall at the Slytherin table.
"Leave her alone! It doesn't matter if she's an heir or not. She is compassionate and she actually helps people when they ask for it unlike you who look down on us because were in a lower grade!" The Slytherin girl defended Irrisa.
"What did you say, snake?" The Griffindor snarled.
"Hey, leave her alone. You have no reason to call them names." Sakura defended the Slytherin to the shock of most of the hall.
"I can if I want to, you can't stop me."
"Look, I don't care what you say about me but don't you dare call other students names. You have no reason being a prefect if you do." Irrisa cut in.
"Why would you care if I call others names?"
"Hmmm. Let me see…maybe because I know what it feels like and the don't deserve to have people who they are supposed to look up to, to beat them down. You all call me a disgrace but you know what? It's all of you who are the disgrace."
Irrisa took a breath and continued. "You all go on about uniting together against Voldemort and that there should be fairness but it's all a load of crap. You all aren't even trying to unite. You all continue the stupid house rivalries and bullying other students. The teachers aren't even fair! Most of them are against Slytherin, why? Because Voldemort came fro their house?"
"It's because all of them are dark!" A sixth year Hufflepuff called out.
"They go dark because of you! You isolate them, judge them because of what came out of their house before, you mock them. They have no one to turn to but the dark side!" Irrisa finished.
The hall was silent. Everyone was shocked.
"I, at least, don't care where they came from or what house their in. I'm going to be fair and help any student. If they can look past the fact that I'm a pureblood heir and ask me for help…"
Irrisa turned to look at the first year Slytherin that had defended her and who had come to her for help in secret.
"Then they deserve my respect and my help." Irrisa then turned around and walked out of the Great Hall. Harry blinked for a couple of seconds before he grinned and stated, as he was following Irrisa out of the hall, "Way to go sis!"
Haru, Sakura, and Syaoran snickered at Harry as they left the hall.
The hall remained silent as everyone was thinking. Several seconds later the Slytherin first year stood up again.
"She 'hit the nail on the head' you know."
The Slytherin used a muggle phrase that Irrisa had taught her. "I'm speaking for myself as I won't make anyone else agree with me. I don't care that she's a pureblood heir. She looked past my house history, she looked past old, stupid, rivalries when I asked for help and she helped me with no hesitation. She deserves my friendship and respect."
The Slytherin then left the hall. Several other first year students from Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and even one from Griffindor, stood up and left the hall. When the rest of the sixth year students arrived to Defence Against the Dark Arts the group was surrounded by the first years.
It was like they were protecting Irrisa. Little did the sixth years know that that was exactly what they first years were doing. As everyone was finishing breakfast, the first years who left the hall had talked with the group. They had all agreed to try and push past house boundaries and work together.
The sixth years found out that the bunch of first years around the group had all come to Irrisa in secret for help because she had told them that she would help them if they needed it. When Irrisa noticed that the rest of the class was there she turned back to the first years.
"You better head to class. If you go right once you leave the classroom then turn left at the portrait of Medusa you will find yourselves in the Charms corridor."
"Thanks" The first year Slytherin, Christina Nott, said.
"No, thank you for sticking up for me."
"Like I said after you left, you looked past our house history and helped me and apparently these other first years, with no hesitation."
The first years then left the classroom as Sirius and Remus walked in. They raised their eyebrows and walked to the front of the class.
"Welcome to your second Defence Against the Dark Arts class. For those of you who don't know…" Remus looked at the group.
"Hogwarts will be holding a duelling tournament. Professor Black has the list for the sixth years. Those who are signing up, please go to him now to write down your name."
No one moved.
Harry shrugged and got up. "Guess I'm first." He walked up and wrote his name on the list. The rest of the group followed him up and one by one, signed the sheet. The rest of the class then followed. Once everyone sat down they got on with the lesson.
"Now." Sirius started. "last class we had that little test with the spells. This class we will be expanding on that. We will be taking a group of five at a time to demonstrate proper duelling format. At the same time, those of you who aren't at the demonstration will work on a list of spells I have put on each of your desks."
Remus took over. "I will be taking the groups for the demonstration while Professor Black will go around the group learning spells helping you if you need it. Now, the first group is Draco Malfoy, Terry Boot, Hannah Abbott, Seamus Finnegen, and Pansy Parkison."
The first group followed Remus to a neighbouring room while the rest got to work on the list. The group looked at their lists and realized that it was different from the rest of the classes'.
Sirius noticed their confusion and walked over. "What's wrong?"
"Our lists are different from the rest of the classes." Haru commented.
"Well duh. You all learned those spells years ago. Before we left we got Merl. and the rest to give us a log list of spells that they hadn't taught you so you had something you could work on here."
"Cool." Syaoran smiled.
The class went by fairly quickly. The group didn't have to have a demonstration as they already knew what to do. They had demonstrated that at their duelling class. The class headed to lunch and out of the corner of his eyes, Haru noticed a small group of Griffindors taunting a Slytherin. Haru placed a spell secretly on the doors to the great hall that would be activated when the group of Griffindors entered.
As they were sitting down, Haru let the others know of what he saw and what was in store for them. The group then kept glancing at the doorway until the Grifindors walked in. The minute they entered, a voice sounded throughout the great hall.
"Nice try."
The next second the Griffindors were all dressed up. The guys were dressed in a multi-house color dress and pigtails while the girls were wearing a short muscle shirt and really short, tight shorts. This time, no one laughed. They were realizing that if they didn't want to get pranked that they should keep their insults and taunts to themselves.
The group of Griffindors ran out of the hall in embarrassment as another banner fell and the voice intoned, "We won't stop until you do." The banner, still signed by The Heirs, then faded.
