chapter 11: Home or Bust.
It was silent in the boy's dormitories.
Completely silent.
Well, maybe not totally.
Jason and Marcus were quietly creeping down the hallway. They had the biggest assortment of noise maker you've ever seen.
"On three, one, two...THREE!" Jason and Marcus busted open a door to a dormitory. They twirled and blew on the noise makers.
"WE'RE GOING HOME!"
"You're not happy!" yelled Marcus. He saw no reason that anyone should not be absolutely enthralled.
They continued on their way going through all the boys dormitories. They practically leaped down the stairs with happiness. They plopped down in their favorite chairs.
"Well, that was fun."
"Let's do the girls dorms."
"What? We'd totally get in trouble for that!"
"Yes, but do we really give a crap?"
Before Marcus could answer, Jason grabbed him by the arm and pulled him to the stairs. But, as soon as they stepped on the step, the whole stair case turned to a slide. Jason and Marcus tripped head first onto the concrete and their cart flew over their head and exploded. The cart left a giant crater in the middle of the slide. Jason and Marcus stood up. Their hair was blown back and their clothes ripped and their faces black with ash.
"What the hell was that!" screamed one random girl.
"I told you not to put the TNT in with the noise makers!" scolded Marcus.
"Well, sue me!"
"What happened down here?!" Percy ran down the stairs and almost tripped over his pink bathrobe with his name embroidered in gold loopy letters on the arms.
"Run!" yelled Jason.
And off they were in a wild goose chase, with Jason and Marcus throwing the remainder of the TNT at Percy.
"You two are in soooo, much trouble!" yelled Percy while jumping over the sticks of TNT.
After jumping over all the couches in the common room, using 30 cans of silly string, 2 air fresheners, a red-hot fireplace poker stick, two gallons of water, and a bottle of shampoo, Percy finally caught the wet, shampooy Jason and Marcus.
"ummm, no hard feelings?" asked Jason.
"You wish." said Percy through clenched teeth.
5 minutes later, they were standing in front of Dumbledore's office, with their sopping wet pajamas dripping on the floor.
"Sooo, what do we do now?" asked Marcus.
"I don't know, but I'm really hungry. I bet they're having breakfast right now. I wish I had some lemon drops right about now." sighed Jason.
And just like that, the door opened. Well, not the door, exactly. It was a giant griffin statue, and it began to turn. Jason and Marcus hesitantly stepped onto the moving staircase. The ride took longer than they expected, and Jason found himself wringing out his pajamas and Marcus was cleaning silly string out of his pockets. Finally, they stopped suddenly at the top. A big, wooden door stood menacingly above them. Jason walked up to knock on the door. It swung open, even before Jason moved.
"Aaaa, boys. I've been expecting you. Oh, please, come in." said Dumbledore.
Jason and Marcus looked at each other with a very puzzled looks on their faces.
They walked in and stood in front of the large desk. Dumbledore sat down on the other side.
"Now, I understand that you boys set off muggle explosives in the Gryffindor common room--" Dumbledore was cut off by Jason.
"Were innocent, I tell you! We didn't do it! You can't prove anything!" Screamed Jason as he jumped onto the desk.
"--And I really don't care that you did." finished Dumbledore.
"I'll run to the ends of the frickin' earth to prove my inno-- old man say what now?"
"I said," Dumbledore repeated,"That I don't care, as long as you do something for me."
"Anything at all."
"I need you to set up my muggle computer."
"Psh, easy."
"Well, get to work. I need it up and running in 5 minutes."
"We'll have it ready in 1."
And with that, Dumbledore left the room. Jason and Marcus eagerly ripped open the box and took out the instruction manual. Marcus read it off.
"It says that you can get this hunk of junk out of the box and onto the internet in as little as 10 minutes," Marcus read the paper again."That has to be a typo."
"That is hard to believe."
"We set up that computer at camp in what, 30 seconds?" said Marcus scratching his head.
"Only because YOU tangled the wires, Mr. Slowpoke."
Low and behold, They got the computer running in 10 seconds. 5 minuted later, Dumbledore came back holding a bottle of wine, a super-sized cheese burger, and was laughing hysterically.
"Thank you, all of you. I really must be going now. Bye Billy. Bye Bob. Oh, I didn't forget you, Joe. Good night." Dumbledore waved goodbye, even though there was nobody there. He shut the door and turned around to find Jason an marcus staring at him."Oh, you two are still here. Did you get my computer running?" Dumbledore threw everything to the side, and the wine crashed to the floor.
"Yes, we did. We also got iCal, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, google Crome, iTunes, iMovie, Skype, iChat, iPhoto, Photoshop Elements, Photo Booth, Pages, Word, TextEdit, Painter, Corel Painter, Google Sketchup, Comic Life, Adobe Flash, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Reader, GarageBand, Google Earth, SPORE with all the extension packs, HandBreak, and you're own E-mail." Jason pointed them all out on the screen.
"We also got you a printer. It can Print, obviously, scan, copy, and the tray pops out when you print, so you don't have to open it yourself." said Marcus.
Dumbledore was blown away. He had never seen anything like this in his life.
"Um, okay, you boys can go."
Jason and Marcus rushed out of the room. The stopped by the Great Hall for a bite to eat, then ran back to the Dorms to get packed.
"Blech, it's dusty under here," Jason reached under his bed to retrieve stuff he put there. jason pulled out a shoe box. "Here's Norbert," He opened the lid and a loud ROOAAARRR! came from it. Jason kept digging under the bed and found all of his 'Lil' Hell Raiser' products. He stuffed them into his trunk. "I'm all set."
"Me too."
!
"That's the train. Let's go!"
Jason and Marcus boarded the train eagerly. They got the same compartment all the way in the back of the train. They placed their packs on the seats so people knew they were sitting there, even though no one was actually on the train yet. Jason and Marcus left the compartment and walked along the corridor and in the other compartments, slapping their hands against the walls and on the celling. When they got back, they locked the door, pulled down all the shades and turned on the single LED light in the compartment. Jason took out a box marked 'Lil' Hell Raiser Spy Kit', and opened it. Inside was a screen that was showing the compartment right next to theirs. Marcus pushed a button, and the screen changed. Now it was showing the section of the corridor right out side their compartment. Jason pushed a different button, and the sound of the train rang through the speakers. Jason and marcus had placed invisible cameras and mics around the train.
"This way, we can spy on everyone on the train."
"Look," Marcus pointed at the screen. "Mr. James Bond just got on." On the screen, there was Malfoy waltzing onto the train followed by his cronies, Crabbe and Goyle.
Jason and Marcus watched Malfoy and his gang walk down the corridor and slide into the compartment right next to them. Jason quickly pressed some buttons and eventually he got just the sound and picture of that compartment.
"This is soooooo boring. Can't they talk about something more interesting?" complained Marcus.
"You mean something that's not about us? Sure, I can make that happen." said Jason.
"Really? You can?"
"Watch and learn, young grasshopper."
In 10 minutes, they had a whole elaborate prank all set up. Jason held up a Galleon with a string attached.
"And finally, the piece de resistance." Jason scribbled his name in black sharpie on the back of the Galleon. He tossed it outside Malfoy's compartment and ran to the other end of the hall.
"And then, the dorkus duo pulled down their pants and... GALLEON, CALLED IT!!!!" Malfoy jumped out the door and reached for the Galleon, but it slipped away before he could grab it.
Malfoy tried again. This time, the Galleon zipped super fast down the corridor. Malfoy ran after it. All of a sudden, he slipped on a banana peel covered in grease. He slid down the corridor and up a ramp and soared through the air. First, squirt guns filled with glue squirted him. Second, sand paper flew at him and stuck to him. Lastly, a single fuse was scratched by the sand paper and, at the same speed as Malfoy, the fuse ran down the hall and led to a barrel full of TNT. And...
"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The TNT exploded and charred half the corridor. Malfoy sat up with his face black, hair puffed, and clothes in little more than shreds.
"Well, what d' ya know, he fell for it. I owe you 5 Galleons." said Marcus.
Jason and Marcus hopped happily off the train with their stuff loaded on the carts.
"I think Norbert needs a bigger cage." said Jason. Norbert had his nose up to the hole in the side of the shoe box.
"Let's go home and work on our tree fort." said Marcus, who was in a completely different world.
"Yeah."
A/N: Well, that's the end of the first year, and I look at it and I found a lot of things that I missed. We left out Quidditch! (I think I spelt that wrong.) I honestly don't know how we did that. Other than that, it was all about introducing things. So, if you have any suggestions, please review.
