Chapter 30
We Vant Your Blood...part 1
We continued walking into the forest, I happened to glance back at the castle right before we entered and caught several curious faces looking at us from the various windows. I know that none of the students would rat us out, due to the fact that everyone loves the Twins, well everyone not in Slytherin, and Slytherin won't tell on us because they are scared of me for some reason. It is a good thing that I am a very nice and good person, or I might be tempted to use that fear to get them to be my own personal slaves, not that I would ever do that, just stateing tha tI could. But, it was a good thing that we had eye witnesses see us going into the forest close to dark, it will make the prank even more believable.
As the sky darkend, the Twins and I pulled out our wands and lit the tips with the nifty Lumos spell, casting a light upon the trail we were following. We didn't speak as walked throught the forest, no need to casue any attention to ourselves from those who live in the forest. They might know me, but the don't really know Fred and George, well some do, but not most.
Ten minuets of walking along various trails led to the meadow that I had set up earlier in the week for the vampire prank. I walked to the center of the spell protected meadow, towards the giant rock with all of the prank parts on it, Fred and George followed after me.
"All right guys, prepared to be amazed. Here on this vary rock are the fruits of my labor over the holidays. I spent countless hours brewing and researching various potions and spells to make our fake vampire selves look oh-so-very real."
I paused there to catch my breath, I have a very bad habit of speaking a lot, really fast, when I'm excited. My arm was still waving towards the rock and my 'fruits', when I caught the looks on my friends faces. Fred, who should have been used to my fast pace talking, was looking at me in shock. George on the other hand was to busy laughing at his brothers face, to notice my still gesturing arm. I had to give both a small tap on the head to regain their attention so I could continue on with my explanations.
When they both looked to me rubbing their heads, I did not hit them that hard, they just like to exagurate, I went on with what I was saying. The first item I picked up was a vile of liquid, I had three now, and gave each twin their own.
"This is the potion that will turn our skin the deathly pale color of a vampire. Once you drink it, your skin will remain pale until you either a. go tanning in the sun," I looked at their already pale skin, laughed, then continued, "or b. take the other potion I have here on the rock as well, that will cancel the effects of the first one."
I un-poped the vile and drank the sour tasting potion down. Almost instantly, my once slightly tanned skin, turned sickly pale, my blue veins showing though like map lines onmy flesh. I glanced at the Twins and saw that they had taken their potion as well, and were in a similar pale shape as I was.
I said a quick, "Nox" to terminate the light at the end of my wand, as the next part of the transformation was a spell, "I learned about this next spell when I accidently made my best friends teeth turn into the size and shape of a beavers when I was six years old. I forgot why she made me mad, but I was really upset, oh well. I figured out over the break that there is an actual spell you can use, not just accidental usage of magic, that can change the shape and size of teeth."
"That's brilliant Kitty Cat, but vampire can retract their teeth at will, and send them back out as well. It will look suspicous if we take out our wands and cast the spell every time we want our teeth to change." Fred has this ability to point out the not so obvious at times, thank goodness I have the abilty to think ahead.
"Well, I did thank of that. I spent a couple of days in my Grandparent's library researching that very problem. I found two different possibilities, the first being wandless magic, casting the spell with out a wand to over and over again. That one wasn't very practical, as it would take a while to learn how to prefect wandless magic."
I should know, I have been trying to get it right for over a year and a half, ever since coming to Hogwarts and offically being able to use magic. I'm getting better and better at it, seems I have somewhat of a talent when it comes to wandless magic, according to soem of the books I have read, it took most of the masters of wandless magic at least ten years to prefect the usage of magic without a wand.
"The other way I found is a sort of repeat spell. After casting the orginal spell, using the repeat spell will allow the user to repeat the spell used before."
Before I could continue, George jumped in with the explanaiton, "So if we cast your tooth changing spell, then the repeat spell, it will allow us to change our teeth back and forth without using a spell each time...right?"
I gave him a huge smile, the one professors like to give their favorite students, "That's right, you can the repeat spell over and over again until you cancel it. Which we will do after the prank, of course...unless you really want to keep using the teeth changing spell over and over agian during the year."
Showing them the spell, we enlarged our canine teeth to the right vampire size. We took a little while to get used to haveing fangs, it distorted our speech. By the time we come out of our death sleep tomorrow, we should sound normal again.
"Red, Orge, ese olks...umph..." I bit a hole into my toung with one of my new fangs, and some how I doubt they were understanding what I was trying to say anyways. Of course, I wasn't really going out on a limb to guess they did not understand me, there faces, when I could see them, as they were rolling around on the ground in fits of laughter, clued me in.
~Stop laughing guys, that hurt. My toung now has a huge hole in it and hurts, which will make it hard to talk tomorrow. Anyways, what I was saying, these cloaks are dark and scary looking, the sort of thing most people think vampires would wear. We will come out of the forest with the hoods of the cloaks pulled down far enough to cover our faces, I'm sure someone will see us coming and the news will spread by nightfall the next day, at least to the student body.~
I finally remembered a spell to heal small wounds, only to have the Twins start to laugh once again at my plight. I quickly grabbed the hand mirror that was sitting on the rock, its original purpose to gage the size of our teeth, and gaped at my toung, the hole still there, but the color was now a neon purple as opposed to its normal pinkish tinge. It would seem that I would need to practice speech with my new teeth even more. With the uptmost of care, I resaid the spell, this time articulating the words exactly. At once I knew it was healed as the pain disappered. A quick glance at the mirror let me know my toung was still purple, it would have to remain that way until I figured out what went wrong with the first spell and undid the damage.
By then Gerorge had managed to stiffle his chuckles, he was always good at that. Once again, Fred, was still merrily laughing away, we'll have to see who has the last laugh. I might be able to sneak something into his bed later, something wet and slimy...at the end of his bed, I think that would be just perfect.
Speaking as slowly as I can, I continued on with my prank explanations, "Now, the last item I have obtained for our prank was the hardest to find, I had to go all the way to a muggle costume store. These," I held up a bag of full of little red packets, "are packets of fake blood, which supprisingly enough, look really real. When we make our apperence tomorrow night in the common room, we can use the fake blood on the necks we 'bite' to make it look real...or we can just put the blood on the beds of the students we take back to the holding room to make the others think they have been turned as well."
I quickly split the packets up between the three of us, this prank would have made an excellent one for Halloween, but it should turn out well now as well. I think I will take the twins to the Slytherin common room, but only after enough people have seen our new vampire selves. The rest of the school should have a wonderful laugh at the Slytherin's missfortune. I should have some Slytherin pride in my house, but after that first night in Slytherin a year ago, I have developed a strong dislike of most of them. Some though, like Draco, have been nice to me, in their own self-interests, their thoughts have told me so. Slytherins, unlike Gryffindors, don't offer friendship with warmth in their hearts, they care more about social standing than anything else.
By the time we had finished gettign ready, it was full dark outside of the forest as well as in. It was time to make our way to the castle, we couldn't wait to long, or else no one would be awake to see us come out of the trees. We quickly placed the hoods of our cloaks over our heads, then started our journey out of the forest back to the castle and our special room.
Thank you all for reading my story. Once again, I am so sorry it had taken so long post this chapter. I will be going back to school in a week, so I should have more time to write, I know that sounds backwards, summer should offer more time to write, but I write most often when I need a break. I'm too easily distracted during the summer...unlimited time to read, swim, and other activities.
A special thank you to the following for rating or marking this stroy in some way. ^.^
