Revenge on Claudia
Hiding underneath James' invisibility cloak, Riley walked slowly behind Sirius and James as they made their way to the Ravenclaw common room. James was walking with the Marauder's Map and Sirius was walking with the supplies for the prank.
"Is it only Claudia we're aiming for or just everyone in her dorm?" James asked.
"Let's do all three," Riley said, poking her head out of the cloak, "Makes it seem less obvious it's all intended for Claudia."
"But it is only intended for her," Sirius replied walking slower to keep pace with Riley, "How about we don't do them just as severe."
Riley nodded in agreement and went back under the cloak as they rounded the corner to the portrait to enter. Riley answered the riddle immediately and they were let in. The common room was dead when they entered so Riley slipped the cloak off and stuffed it into the back of her jeans pocket, letting some of it hang out so it was easy to grab back on if it went wrong.
"Ok, so here how it goes," Sirius said, sitting down the supplies. "As quietly as we can, put them in a full body bind curse and then, James, you take the aftershave and the shaving gel and do what you will with that on Victoria and Regina. As for us, Riley, we'll take the shower gel, the other aftershave, the other shaving gel and," he said, taking something out of his pocket and showing it to her, "the razor."
Riley grinned mischievously and nodded, "Let's do this."
Riley lead the two boys up the stairs to Claudia's dorm and lucky for them, all three girls had their curtains drawn around them.
"Which one is Claudia's?" James whispered.
Riley pointed to the middle one and James moved immediately to the bed on the right hand side. Sirius handed her the shaving gel and the razor and she moved towards her sisters bed while Sirius cast the body bind curse on the girl in the bed on the left hand side.
Slowly and as quietly as she could , Riley pulled aside Claudia's bedside hangings and pulled out her wand.
"Petrificus Totalus"
She expected something to happen, but Claudia just stayed in place.
"Did it work?"
Riley jumped slightly, feeling Sirius standing right behind her, his breath on the back of her neck.
"I think so," she replied.
"Well then, c'mon."
The pair worked silently, Sirius was pouring the aftershave from the bottle all over Claudia's body and bed and Riley was putting the shower gel through her hair. Once she was done, she held the shaving gel in front of Sirius.
"What do we use this on?"
Sirius brushed a finger over his eyebrows, winked then pointed a finger to Claudia.
Riley bit her lip, a smile appearing and opened the cap and sprayed it along her sisters left eyebrow. She then took the razor from the bedside table and drew it along, scraping up the foam as she went.
And there was Claudia with one eyebrow. Riley then done the same with the other eyebrow, except she was only half way along shaving it when Claudia let out a yelp.
Riley and Sirius jumped back immediately and saw James standing in the middle of the room with his wand out.
Claudia screamed.
Riley grabbed Sirius' hand and ran into the bathroom.
"Where do we hide?" Sirius asked.
"The bathtub!"
Riley climbed in first and stood behind the shower curtain and when Sirius joined her, she pulled the cloak out and pulled it over them.
They waited as they heard the three girls wake up screaming.
They heard someone stomp into the bathroom and then they let out another scream. It was Claudia. Riley shuffled further back but she bumped her head against the shower head.
"Ow!"
Quickly, she put her hand over her mouth. Sirius looked down at her, a smile playing on his lips. The shower curtain was pulled back.
Sirius put an arm over Riley and hugged her close to him.
Claudia stood in front of them, only half of an eyebrow left on, her hair sticking up at all ends and aftershave soaking through her clothes. She let out a frustrated cry and walked back into the bedroom.
Riley let out the breath she had been holding in and looked up at Sirius who was trying not to laugh aloud.
"That was so scary!" Riley whispered. "It's not funny, Sirius!"
"Ok, ok. I'm sorry."
"How do we get out of here?"
"How about we walk slowly and carefully?"
"Sirius," she replied. "The two of us cannot possibly move under this cloak at the same time."
"Get on my back," he said, squatting down. Riley obeyed him and jumped on his back.
Sirius stepped out of the bathtub carefully and made sure the cloak was still hiding them both. He then walked into the room. Victoria and Regina faces were red from sobbing and Claudia was screaming at the pair of them for letting something like that happen.
The pair made it out of the room without having to dodge anyone. They made sure they were far enough away from the Ravenclaw common room when they took off the cloak.
"That was classic! Did you see what she looked like?"
Sirius was holding his stomach from laughing and Riley couldn't help but burst out laughing too.
"Who's there?"
"Filch!"
Riley went to pull on the cloak, but Sirius had grabbed her hand and started running. She could hear him yelling threats at them as they ran, but she couldn't care less.
The ran up the stairs to the portrait that lead to the Gryffindor Common room, but the Fat Lady was gone.
"Fuck!" Sirius yelled.
"There's a broom cupboard on the seventh floor," Riley said and tugged on his hand up the other staircase, "C'mon!"
They ran up the stairs and then through the seventh floor hallway and Riley found the broom cupboard and opened it up and ran into it, pulling Sirius with her.
God, it was small. And dark.
She heard Filch's footsteps run by.
"What will we do?" she asked , quietly.
"We could always sleep here. With the cloak over us."
Riley sighed and ran a hand through her hair. "Fine."
"Lumos."
Riley and Sirius used the end of the broomsticks for pillows and Sirius managed to spread the cloak out over them so it wouldn't show any part of them while they slept.
"Well, Martinez," Sirius said, "Even though we've been caught…what? Three times tonight, I've had fun."
"Me too, Black." Riley yawned. "Me too."
I wish I'd written this a whole lot better but I really cannot be bothered going through it and editing it.
