Chapter 5: Meeting in Library and Dousing the School
The following day, at Lunch time, Kyla and Kit went to the Library so that they could continue their planning for the year. Kyla grabbed several books, some of potion and some of transfiguration, and Kit placed a bunch of parchment and quills all over the table, and then they sat down and began to talk.
"What are you two doing?" A bossy female voice said as she approached the table. It was Hermione Granger. "Shouldn't you be at Lunch?"
"Shouldn't you?" Kit asked flatly.
"I am doing homework," Hermione said loftily.
"We are too," Kyla said smoothly, "Why don't you take off Granger?"
She sniffed and stormed away. Kit shook her head at Granger's retreating back and then turned to her twin.
"She's unbelievable," Kit said, "And I have to share a room with her for the next seven years."
"I know…" Kyla said as she smiled sympathetically, "You know that I have Daphne and Sally working on the Potion while we study over here. They wanted something to do." She defended at Kit's startled look.
And then Kyla placed the Advanced Transfiguration book that she sneaked past her mother on the table and opened it to the page for the Animagi transfiguration.
"Go ahead and read it," Kyla said, "I did, and couldn't understand a word of it."
Kit grinned easily and began to read it. She was silent for a couple of minutes and then she nodded. "Alright." She said then, "They have a lot of history in here, you didn't understand that either."
"I didn't get to it," Kyla admitted, "You go ahead and read it."
"So, apparently the first Animagi was a researcher who had been studying the traits of Native American shape shifters over time. This man managed to find a way to mix our magic with the way that they shift into other animals. However it takes a lot of concentration, and about two years to master."
Kyla nodded, "How do you do it?"
"We have to find the animal that matches with us personality wise." Kit said as she continued to read from the book, "There is a test, a personality test; that we have to take to figure out what form we will take."
Kit flipped through the book and then pulled grabbed a sheet of paper and handed one to Kyla. They then proceeded to take the personality test, and Kyla cast the spell that was in the book, and the animal name appeared on the top of the parchment.
Kit was a crow, Kyla thought that was hilarious.
Kyla was a Hawk, Kit was slightly annoyed.
After they finished that Kit went back to studying the Animagi Book and Kyla went to her potions book, she was looking for a new potion that she could use on the school population as a whole.
Later that evening, while Kit was in detention with Snape, Kyla was in Myrtle's Bathroom with Sally and Daphne. The potion had been finished, and they were working on finding a way for everyone in the school to get the potion.
Finally Daphne called on a house elf and convinced it that the potion was nothing more than a cheering potion and that there were so many students in the school who were so unhappy, that they thought that they students would like having the potion, to make them feel better.
The House Elf, a young female named Missy, nodded enthusiastically and popped over to all of the students and made sure that they drank the potion.
That night, after Kit finished her detention, she was sitting in her dorm room watching Hermione, Parvati, and Lavender sleep. She had cast a spell on them, which would show what they were dreaming.
Older Pavarti was dancing with Theodore Nott, much to Kit's amusement. She would never let Pavarti live that fact down, ever. As Kit looked at Pavarti, she noticed that the slumbering girl was smiling in her sleep. Pavarti obviously had no complaints with her soul mate.
In the next bed, floating over Lavender, an Older Lavender was hugging and kissing someone who looked oddly like Seamus Finnegan. They looked entirely too pleased with their hard core romance. It was so sweet it was disgusting
And then, over Hermione's bed, was an older Hermione kissing an Older Ronald Weasley. Kit nearly gagged. Two people that she hated, getting together and procreating. The world was doomed.
Kit giggled softly and fell into her bed. She felt a whole lot better now that she knew that people were dreaming nice dreams. Although, a small part of her had hoped that someone in her room hadn't of gotten a soul mate.
In the Slytherin Girls dorm room, Daphne was giggling easily as she watched the dreams of her roommates.
Millie, one of the only girls in her year that she could tolerate, was having a nice dream with her and Fred Weasley dancing and playing around. She wondered, absently, what their children would be like, but she quickly changed her mind. Any child of Millie Bulstrode and Fred Weasley would be a fire cracker. Daphne was enjoying herself immensely.
Pansy, well Daphne felt bad for Pansy. Her dream was completely black. It looked like Pansy didn't have a soul mate. How sad for her. And Pansy was hoping that she'd be with Malfoy forever. Daphne grinned, she didn't like Pansy Parkinson.
And then there was Tracy. Daphne actually hoped that Tracy would be happy. Tracy was playing Quidditch with someone that Daphne had never seen before. He must have been from another school, and then Daphne looked closer and she nearly fell off of her bed. Tracy was playing with none other than Viktor Krum. And then Daphne grinned, she couldn't wait to tell her friends.
Over in the Ravenclaw Tower, Kyla was laughing softly, not wanting to wake her victims. She was glad that she knew what she had dreamt about, though she never did ask about the boy to her twin.
Padma was dreaming of Terry Boot. It wasn't a bad pair, seeing that they were both Ravenclaws and they got on pretty well. But Padma was so arrogant that Kyla was rather surprised that Terry would put up with her. Oh well. Kyla was pretty sure that she had gotten the best deal.
Su Li, in the bed across from Padma's, was dreaming of someone that wasn't entirely human. That much was obvious from the fact that he sparkled when he was in the sunlight. The older Su Li didn't seem to mind, she looked completely enamored with the man. Kyla smiled softly, as much as she disliked Padma, she actually liked Su. She hoped that Su would remain happy with the man that she was dreaming about.
Finally, down in the Hufflepuff rooms, Sally was watching the dreams of her roommates. She actually didn't like any of her roommates; they were both far too timid for them to get along with Sally. Hannah Abbot, in the bed closest to the window, wasn't dreaming of anything. This was too bad for her; it meant that she didn't have any soul mate.
Susan Bones, the other girl in the room, was dreaming of working in a greenhouse with Neville Longbottom. Sally frowned, she didn't like Neville. Mind you, she didn't really like Susan either so maybe they were a good match. She then grinned and shifted so she could get some sleep. She had a feeling that Kit and Kyla would like to know what she had seen.
The next day Kit was sitting out by the lake with a small smirk playing on her face. She was making some posters, with Kyla, of the people that she didn't like.
"I think we should put this one in the Great Hall," Kit said with an easy grin.
Kyla blinked, "National Lemming Convention here, beware of cliffs." Kyla grinned, "I like it. Here, what about this one for the Potions classroom?"
"'Teaching: For those who cannot do'." Kit smirked, "Add this to it, 'And for those who cannot teach, teach potions.'" Kyla grinned and did so.
"What are you doing?" Daphne asked as she sat down, and then she glared at Kit, "Mathers, you look like a pot roast."
"Thank you, I made sure to baste really well this morning." Kit replied, "How about this for the Slytherin Common room? 'Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.'"
Kyla nodded with a slight grin, and then she looked at Daphne and Sally who had joined them, "We are going to put quotes up all over the school in response to the houses and the classes that are held there."
"Oh…" Sally said as she looked at them, "I hope you have fun with that." And then she looked at Daphne, "Will you help me with my Potions work?"
"Ask Kyla, she's even better than I am," Daphne said with a slight smile.
Kyla looked at Sally and nodded, placed her paper aside, and shifted so she could help her friend.
She shared a look with Kit, who was bent over the parchment with Daphne working on insults to spread around the school. The two of them were having a blast with it too.
