Chapter 7: The Fight

After Christmas ended, the four girls had to fight to get their lives back to normal. After all, they had gotten use to waking up at eleven in the morning and not having to worry about things like homework and other things like that.

However, they managed to get back into the flow of things easily enough. So much so, that they felt that it was time for them to begin their New Years pranks.

You see, Kit had overheard some of the teachers talking about the record of the most detentions ever given in one day. It was twenty six, and Kit vowed that she would beat that record this year.

Kyla and Sally wished that she had never heard that record. Daphne couldn't wait to get started. And they both began to plan. They were going to do a ton of small pranks, but had to make sure that they were the ones who took the blame for it. And then they planned one large prank with Sally and Kyla.

"We don't want to know," Kyla said as she forestalled any chance of Kit and Daphne of telling their plans, "Just fill us in on the big prank that you want to pull."

"A Caterwauling charm." Daphne said with relish, "We are going to set it to music and have it play whenever someone enters the classroom."

"The best part," Kit said with a grin, "Is that only the person who placed it can remove the charm."

"What do you want to play and where to you want them to play at?" Sally asked, interested in spite of herself.

"Cruella DeVil, for Snape's classroom," Kit said with an impish grin, "The Aristocats, Everybody Wants to be Cat for McGonagall,"

"Use your imagination," Daphne said, "Just make sure that we get credit for it." Kyla and Sally nodded, both amused, as the Slytherin and the Gryffindor hurried out to begin their pranks.

Later that night, Sally and Kyla were waiting for Daphne and Kit to come to dinner. They hadn't of been seen since early that morning and all of the Caterwauling Charms had been set.

In fact, when you walked into the great hall you would hear Le Poisson, from the Little Mermaid. They had chosen to use all Disney songs for the teachers.

Kit and Daphne came in a little bit later and they both grinned when they heard the song that was playing. Kit sauntered over to her twin with a broad grin, "Twenty eight detentions in one day. He wrote mum and dad."

"Jeez," Kyla said wide eyed, "You had to go and see Dumbledore?"

"Yep," Kit said, "He wasn't really angry, since we didn't hurt anyone, but he was obligated to write to them."

"Your houses are going to be pissed at you for what you did." Sally noted as she glanced over at the hourglass that contained the house points. "Merlin, how many points did you lose?"

"Five points for each prank," Daphne said, "about one hundred and forty each." And then she grinned, "Not to mention having detention every night until may sixth."

"Wow…"

"What songs did you use?" Kit asked Sally and Kyla as they settled into their meal at the Hufflepuff table.

"We used Everybody want to be a Cat for McGonagall," Kyla said, "Poor Unfortunate Souls for Snape."

"The Aristocats and The Little Mermaid," Kyla noted, "What else?"

"Once Upon a December for Potter," Sally said with a growing smile, "The Best of Friends for Sinastra, and The Phony King of England for Lupin."

"Anastasia, The Fox and the Hound, and Robin Hood," Kyla elaborated with a growing grin. "We used Friend like Me for Flitwick and the Ghostbusters theme for Binns."

"Wow," Kit was grinning, "You guys did well."

"We did even better than you think," Sally said, "We only charmed a few teachers' rooms, but we charmed all of the dorms."

"For Gryffindor we used I'll make a Man out of You, for Ravenclaw we used Beauty and the Beast, for Hufflepuff we used Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo, and for Slytherin we used Heigh-Ho." Kyla said with a grin.

"Brilliant," Kit said with a laugh, "The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, and Snow White. That's fantastic."

After dinner had been finished Kit began her stroll to the Gryffindor tower. Only to be stopped by several seventh years in her house.

"May I help you?" Kit asked bluntly as she shifted her body ever so slightly so she could move quickly if they tried to attack her.

"You…"

"KIT!" Kit jumped when she was attacked by two red blurs.

"You are-"

"-without a doubt-"

"-A goddess-"

"-Among us mortals."

Kit was turning her head just enough to keep an eye on the person that was talking to her. "Fred, George…Is there something you needed?"

"We are simply here-"

"-To ask our goddess-"

"-If she would-"

"-Do us the honor-"

"-Of allowing us to-"

"-Escort her to-"

"-The common Room."

"Sure…" Kit said with a small sigh as she went to walk around the seventh years only to be stopped and picked up by one of the Weasley Twins.

"Our goddess should never-"

"-Ever-"

"-Sully her feet-"

"-On the dirty Hogwarts ground."

"In other words you are going to carry me to the common room." Kit said blandly. Both red heads nodded frantically and carried her down the hall and to the common room.

Kit, however, knew better than to delude herself into thinking that it was over. Those Seventh years would end up fighting her. She was just lucky tonight.

The next night, she wasn't quite as lucky.

She was on her way back to the common room from her detention, when she was stopped by the same seventh years that stopped her the night before.

"You may have just cost us the house cup," One of the seventh years hissed.

"Really," Kit asked bored, "And I care because?"

"This is our last year," The second male said with an angry glower, "We need to win."

"Right," Kit said absently. "If you don't mind, I need to get back to the common room." She tried to squeeze passed them, but they grabbed her arm and through her back against the wall. And her fist clenched.

Kit really didn't need another detention, but they were attacking her, and she needed to defend herself, and she would. The second they went for their wands she snapped.

She shot forward and slammed her fist into the first student's stomach, breaking three ribs. And then she shifted her weight and shot her leg into the second student's gut and the on the top of his head.

The third student grabbed her from behind, and Kit managed to fight him off with a few well placed kicks to the lower leg, and then she slammed her knee into his groin.

Kit stumbled back when she was sure that they were down, and she groaned when she heard a sharp voice.

"Ms. Mathers!" It was Professor Potter, "What in Heaven's name do you think you're doing?"

"They attacked me professor," Kit defended as she turned just enough to look at her teacher and keep an eye on the three guys on the ground. Her father had taught her to never turn your back on a known enemy.

Professor Potter looked at Kit harshly, and then at the three boys and she nodded. "Why did they attack you?"

"Apparently the house cup is important to some people," Kit said flatly.

"No one would attack someone for that reason," Potter said with a slight scoff.

"Really," Kit asked, "I've known people to kill for less."

"How could you know that?" Potter asked.

"My uncle is a Cop," Kit said softly, "He, and my father, is the ones who taught me to fight. To defend myself."

Potter nodded thoughtfully and then she gave her a stern look, "Fighting is against the rules. So I have to give you another detention. However, I will not take any points. Get to your common room."

Kit nodded and calmly strolled back to her common room, as if she hadn't just been assaulted on her way there. Although, she did have another detention, it wasn't her fault.

Actually, they would probably have detention as well, if not suspended and banned from all of the school trips. Professor Potter did look pissed at what those boys had tried to do.

Kit shook her head; Kyla was going to flip when she found out that her older, more mature (Supposedly), twin had another detention. Kit grinned and began to walk faster to the common room. She was thrilled.
