Chapter Six: Birthday's and takeovers.
It was finally the end of the week and the Rebel Whispers were ready to officially takeover. Though they had already taken over some parts, such as the scoring system. But today they were making it official.
"Ok, ready?" Harry asked.
"You can't tell me you're not, we've practised this for ages!" Izzie sighed.
"Have not! We only just finished adjusting the papers, and Aidan hasn't been here long!" Ron argued.
Izzie rolled her eyes, "Aidan is a big boy Ron, I'm sure if he was lost he'd tell us."
Aidan grinned, "Nah, I'm not lost! How 'bout you Lightning? You lost?"
"Me? No way! Why would you say that Duskpaw?" Harry replied with a grin.
"Just wondering Lightning, never know when there's a wolf in need of being found!"
And the two boys cracked up laughing. Izzie sighed wondering why she thought it was a good idea to bring these two together. Ever since they met they had been as bad as the twins! And always talking about the wolves.
Ron grinned, "You two and your wolves…lions are better!"
"Whatever you say Redtooth, I'm sure one day you'll be king of the jungle…after you've conquered the bush!" Aidan laughed.
The twins even sniggered at that. Ron just scowled.
"Don't worry Ron, I have faith in you! You'll prove this dumb, lost wolf wrong!" Harry told his best friend.
Ron grinned, "Yeah!"
Aidan pouted, "I'm not lost!"
"But you are dumb." The twins sniggered.
"Ha, ha!" Aidan rolled his eyes.
Izzie and Ginny shook their heads. "Are we the only normal ones around here?" Ginny asked.
"I think so." Izzie giggled watching as Aidan tried to get out of Harry's headlock. She shook her head and whistled loudly, "Come on idiots, we've gotta take over this school by sundown, you're acting like a pack of wild animals!"
The boys all looked at each other, grinning, "We Are!" They all yelled, and then fell about laughing.
"Alright we're coming." Harry sighed finally, "Might as well get it over with!"
And they all traipsed down to the Great Hall.
"Mr Potter, I will tell you one last time before you and your friends get in serious trouble, get your uniforms on, undo whatever you have done to the score board and stop the snowing in the dungeons!" Dumbledore asked, his voice betraying slight irritation.
Harry laughed, "Yeah, that snow one was fun!"
"Got that right, not to light but not to heavy, just right for fury coats!" Aidan added and he and Harry cracked up laughing, giving each other a high five.
Fred sighed, "They really are stealing our spotlight!"
"We are just going to have to upgrade!" George sighed also.
They looked at each other and grinned, "Just as a warning, anyone wanting to enter the Great Hall after eight thirty will have to dance the tango with someone." They called.
The rest of the Rebel Whispers looked at them.
"Since when?" Aidan asked… "Ouch!" He yelped the twins had both stepped on his toes. "That's right, I remember now."
Harry and Ron sniggered.
Dumbledore however, for once, did not look amused, or even calm. "And how do you think you will be doing this?"
"Oh, it's easy, just get the spell and put it on the doors." Aidan told him smartly.
McGonagall rolled her eyes, "Do you realize how much trouble you will be getting in?"
Aidan sighed and turned to Harry, "Can we, please take her off the list?"
"No, I like McGonagall she's awesome. She has to stay." Harry objected (it was one of the only things they disagreed on).
"Oh." Aidan wined.
"Mr Potter, you still have detention, which has extended to –"
"Don't care!" Harry cut Umbridge off.
"I beg your pardon, I was talking to you –"
"Blah, blah, blah!" Harry said loudly, covering his ears.
"Oh that's really mature!" Izzie said sarcastically.
"I like immature." Harry told her before going back to acting like a child. "Blah, blah, blah!"
Aidan stared at him. "Don't we have a school to take over?"
"Shut up!" Harry snapped childishly, "I'm annoying the Witch Bitch."
Aidan shook his head.
"This is your fault you know." Izzie told him.
"My fault?" Aidan cried indignantly.
Izzie nodded. "Yes. If you didn't meet him he wouldn't be like this!"
"Actually, it started when he met you." Ron pointed out.
Izzie glared at him.
"Sorry." Ron said quickly.
"Right. Harry! School takeover is commencing right now! SHUT UP!" Izzie yelled.
Harry stopped yelling and smiled, revealing his pointy wolf teeth.
"Hey, who're the presents for?" Aidan asked, pointing to several boxes.
Izzie looked over at them and squealed in delight.
"Ow!" Ron moaned.
Izzie looked through them all. "Which ones should I open first?" She asked.
"These are your presents?" Ron asked incredulously.
Izzie smiled. "I expect so." Then she added darkly. "They better be or he'll pay."
She grabbed the smallest box and tore it open. It was the gold bracelet! She put the bracelet on and giggled girlishly.
Then she looked at the next smallest. It was a long thin package. She knew what this one was. Opening it she found a long sharp sword with a red and black hilt. She gasped.
"Wow! Well at least he has style." Izzie murmured.
She strapped it around her back, getting it comfortable before she turned to the next present.
"Miss Marvelo, I mu-"
"Hush up Dumbly, you're ruining my birthday!" Izzie snapped as she turned to the next present – which was possibly the biggest.
Izzie was practically jumping up and down with excitement as she pulled the box apart and revealed a large motorbike.
"Oh that is so unfair!" Harry groaned.
Izzie giggled. "Don't worry, I'm sure I can share a little bit."
Harry rolled his eyes, "Gee thanks."
"So what's in that one?" Ron asked, pointing at a large box, only slightly smaller than the motorbike's.
Izzie grinned and tapped the box lightly, receiving a sharp growl. Izzie could barely contain her excitement. She opened the box and the little panther nearly tackled her.
"Oh it's so cute!" She exclaimed, picking up the cub and cuddling it.
The panther seemed too surprised to do anything.
"You got a panther for your birthday?" Harry exclaimed.
Izzie grinned. "Don't worry Harry, I'll get you a wolf for your's."
"Ok then!" Harry said happily, "Oh, and here's your present." He said, pulling out a small box and throwing it too her.
"Oh!" She said excitedly, ripping off the paper and opening the box. Inside was a beautiful silver chain that looked like vines, and on the end of the chain was a tear drop pendant with a emerald in the middle of it. She breathed out.
"It's gorgeous, thank you Harry!" She whispered.
Harry nodded.
She put the necklace on with a grin and with a flick of her wand the motorbike was gone. Still cradling the panther she turned to face her band of warriors.
"Well, are we taking over or not?"
They all looked at each other and grinned.
"Of course!"
Things happened so quickly students and teachers didn't know what hit them. All they knew was that they learned to use the advice and rules that the Rebel Whispers had set out for everyone.
Hermione had cornered them that night (yes the bushy haired bookworm was so scary she managed to corner six people by her self) and was yelling about how stupid they were.
"I can't believe you did this! What's gotten into you all? This is ridiculous; you can't take over a school! Dumbledore is furious; you're getting yourself in a lot of trouble!" She scolded.
Izzie sighed and started to say something when Hermione cut her off.
"And this?" She yelled, brandishing the piece of parchment of rules that had been copied several times and handed out all over the school. "This is, it's just- argh! I can't believe you left me out." She said huffily.
Izzie rolled her eyes. "As if, Ron would die if we did that."
Hermione looked surprised and Ron started to cough, going red.
"You put me in?" Hermione asked.
Izzie scoffed. "Of course I did, you really think I'm that mean?"
Everyone's silence gave her the answer she was expecting.
"Fine. Whatever, but I put you in there. Sorry if you don't like the name but that's just tough." She told Hermione.
"Well what's the name?" Hermione asked.
"Bushtail."
Hermione looked surprised and then blushed. "Thanks."
Izzie grinned. "I knew you'd come round."
"Wait. Hermione doesn't have an animagus!" Aidan objected.
"I already thought of that. Hermione is more skilled than you bunch of idiots, she'll get it in no time." Izzie said in her bossy manner.
The others rolled their eyes, deciding to ignore Izzie's teasing.
Hermione sighed and handed the piece of paper to a kid passing by. "You'll need this." She muttered.
Izzie cackled madly. "I should make armies more often."
"You?" Harry asked incredulously.
Izzie nodded. "Well I am the soul creator of this little group."
"You are not!" Harry objected.
Izzie rolled her eyes. "My idea, my brains."
The others started to object.
"Shut up or I'll hex you!" She snapped.
They stopped yelling instantly – Izzie's hexes were dangerous. She grinned smugly,
"That's what I thought."
"So what are you going to call your panther?" Fred asked.
Izzie considered it for a moment and then smiled. "Lily-flower." She said quietly.
"It's a girl?" Ron asked.
Izzie sighed and hit him over the head. "Well I wouldn't give her a girl name if she wasn't!"
