Chapter 5: Baptism with Polyjuice
Nikki and I further discussed the "new plan" I had, regarding joining Fred and George's team. I gave up on my dream of wreaking havoc in Hogwarts all by myself, with Nikki included of course. Finally, the time came for us to meet the "Devious Duo" as Nikki dubbed them.
"So, what did you want to say to us?"
"Well, we want to join you," Nikki said quickly.
"I beg your pardon?" one of the twins choked a laugh.
"We do have a plan, you know, and we promise you guys would take full credit for everything…" Ianthé smiled.
"What's the catch?"
"We just need a release for…….."
"from being nice goody-goodies." Nikki finished Ianthé's sentence.
"What if we get caught?"
"No worries. That's when our brilliant plan comes to play. We have formulated a different kind of Polyjuice potion."
"Is that you two were talking about?"
Nikki nodded. The gits seem to not get what we were trying to say.
"We lengthened the effect of the potion, so instead of an hour, its effect would be for one whole day. Twenty-four hours to be exact."
"That's…."
"… absolutely…"
"…. brilliant!"
Ianthé shrugged, "We are Ravenclaws, aren't we?"
Nikki smiled like a Cheshire cat.
"Give us a minute…" one of the twins dragged the other on a corner and they whispered to each other.
Ianthé raised on of her eyebrows while tapping her foot when the twins got back, "Reached a decision yet?"
Nikki held her breath.
"Welcome to our little club, girls."
Ianthé and Nikki smiled at each other.
"So, what do you think would be our first prank as a quartet?"
That night, I felt fear, anticipation, excitement and happiness all in one. I have never felt anything like that in my whole life.
