Chapter 19
When Flitch and Umbridge exited the room Harry quickly started to pack his things together while Jack looked around the room for a bit longer.
"What are you doing Jack. I really don't know if it would be a good idea to take something or sabotage any of her things. The blame would instantly fall on us and with that the puking incident. So whatever you are planning you should better let it be."
"Come on Harry you don't really think I am that stupid. I'm just searching the room for anything that could hinder any of our future pranks." Said Jack.
"Our?"
"The twins and I worked out a little present for our dear Dolores." Said Jack and finally started packing his things.
As they were leaving the room Jack looked one last time at the dark quills. He wished he could destroy them but as Harry already said it would be really suspicious that those damn things broke while the two of them were the only ones in the room.
They were walking half the way to their dormitories in silence until Harry started to snigger. It didn't take them long to end on the floor laughing so hard they could hardly breath.
"By Merlin's bread. Did you see her face? It was hilarious." Said Harry when he got some air in his lungs.
"Yeah and how she puked all over herself and Filch as he led her from the room." Said with a smile that mirrored on Harry's face.
As they came down from their high Harry looked at his hand. The wound had already healed but the words where still there. I must not tell lies.
"Do you think we should say something to the other professors or someone?" Asked Jack. He wasn't sure what to do. He really didn't want to give the toad the satisfaction of them complaining but on the other side she could use those things on other students and he really didn't want that to happen.
"No." Was Harry's simple answer.
They continued they way to the dormitories in a light banter.
As soon as they passed the portrait of the Fat Lady they were dragged into a corner by the twins.
"That was fucking genius." Said George.
"I was already starting to think that you are not as much of a prankster as hoped when you took the Puking Pastilles."
"Yeah we really though you just wanted to get out of there under any circumstances."
"Come on I'm not that stupid to take something I can't control. And besides, if I took them I still couldn't search through her room." Jack said with a sly smile.
"You did what?!" Exclaimed the twins.
"Yeah I had to so we could refine our little prank."
"Do I want to know what that prank is?" Asked Harry.
"What less you know the safer you are." Said the twins.
"Could I know what you did to make those noises. It seemed as if they were just outside the door."
"That were just a few Wild-fire Whiz-bangs." Said George .
"It's kind of an hexed firework."Explained Fred.
"They are our own creation." Said George with an proud smile on his face.
After that they went to sleep.
At least the others did. Jack started a letter for the Guardians. He would respect Harry's decision of not telling any professor about the quills but he surely wouldn't let any other child get hurt by them.
He just hoped he wouldn't get into trouble for getting detention this fast. He also hoped to receive answers on the questions asked in his last letter tonight.
While he was writing he remembered the prophecy he received at divination so he wrote that down. He didn't want to worry the others but if something was foul in the school he was sure they deserved to know. Who knew what all would happen this year when it already started this bad.
