Fourth year. Now teenagers the girls had changed a bit. Over the summer when they went out they kept their eyes open for young wizards and muggles alike. They had changed. They grew their hair out and rather then put it up and out of their faces like little girls they let it go free. At the welcoming feast two pairs of eyes met. One pair belonging to Arrum Wynterwood the other to Kain Lupin-Black.

Otherwise known as Kain the wolf. She was rather pretty. Arrum thought. If only her eyes weren't so cold and she didn't look like she could kill him during a Quidditch game. "I don't see why you won't go talk to her." His friend Bill Harris said. "Obviously you don't know who she is. That's Kain the wolf. The only girls on any of the Quidditch teams. You never look her in the eye or they devour your soul, raw right there." Bill looked at Arrum like he was a loon. "I'm only joking. But they do call her Kain the wolf. I heard she was the adopted daughter of former criminal Sirius Black." Another one of his friends Gareth Pierce said.

"If you ask me their all bloody crazy." Raoul Tenner said. "They put Redic Funke, Marcus Dragnus, Antonio Colter, Victor Thesson from Slytherin house on the lake in the middle of the night."

"Well Raoul no one asked you. So shut you face." Bill said to him. "I rather like my face the way it is she may try to punch me in the nose. Although the prank she did to those Slytherin morons was brilliant."

Arrum at fourteen was a good height for his age but still had growing to do. He had filled out from his first year. Cheeks no longer pinch-able by grandmother status now thin, bright blue eyes, with a charming smile, his hair was black and just a little longer then shoulder length that he kept pulling back in a pony tail. Still with a bit of growing to do he was going to turn out to be a lean man.

Arrum just wanted to get through the rest of school without upsetting Kain so he could keep his head. After Bill had told him who she was the year before he was sure he was on her bad side. Four years and your home free. Wow she's pretty, Arrum thought. "No, no stop it." Bill looked at him like he was completely insane.

It was early October and the four could be found in potions with Snape. Jenna who had always paired up with Kain because she was better at making potions then Jenna, who was playing a staring game with some fourth year who had knocked her books from her hands earlier. He was a Slytherin. The group didn't know who he was. But the two were glaring at each other. "Either face forward or detention for both of you and ten points from each house." Snape's voice made everyone look up and watch him.

This was going to be a long year. Last week Redic had put something into Dawn's cauldron that her cleaning all the cauldrons from that day. Victor had stalked Alanna around most of the day only to dump a bucket of toad eyes and newt tail powder on her. They didn't do anything to Kain knowing she would have some horrible fate to greet them.

"Isn't there some prank we could pull on them?" Alanna asked. "I'm thinking of stuff but it's all first year stuff. We need something good. And we also need them to get all four of us before we pull it off. Believe me Dragnus has got something planned for me and I'll take it in grace and stride but I will get my payback." Kain said looking oddly pleased with a devious grin across her face. "Okay now your scaring me." Dawn said. Three days after that conversation Antonio did a very childish prank hiding all of Jenna's books in dangerous parts of the castle including the ever-changing stairway.

That night the four were in their dorm getting ready for bed. "Just one more and then my master plan is put into action." Kain had the ever-creepy smile on her face. "Will you please tell us what you're going to do to them?" Jenna bounced on her bed. "Nope. You'll see."

It took till mid November for Marcus to get the courage to pull the prank. After having his nose broken and by the girl on a day where she was in no mood to be picked at he rather feared for his face. Thinking he had good looks and was always worried if he looked good. It was three days before the full moon. When Marcus set his plan to action. Kain would walk thought the door into Snape's class. She was always the last one in but on time. He swished the cauldrons so when they got started the next ingredients she added would either explode or create some large mess that Snape would not be pleased about.

Now they just had to wait. One drop of dragon's blood and the cauldron exploded leaving a fire on the desk smoke in the air with Jenna and Kain's faces covered in soot. With two spells she had learned from Remus the fire was gone and they were clean again. "Ten points from Gryffindor." Snape said. It would have been twenty but because Kain produced two charms correctly that didn't back fire it was only ten. "Strike four." Kain whispered. That night in the common room they spoke in hushed voices so no one would hear of it. They would wait let the boys think they were safe and home free.

After the full moon that month it was very quiet. The girls went about their school days as if the boys weren't there. This worried them. For a week they were jumpy and on edge. Early December the snow had fallen and the chill had set in. They would have to do it before everyone left for the Christmas holidays. It was dinner in the great hall. Everyone was talking and eating and Kain's plan had been put into action. She used a harmless potion she had mixed from one of the books in the library; it was dripped into their food.

Everyone was eating when Marcus, Victor, Antonio, and Redic suddenly stood on the table with a unseen flick of her wrist they were wearing dresses that left out the legs from the knee down and the back open. In the colors of blue, red, pink and periwinkle. The entire great hall was giggling till Marcus opened his mouth and began to sing did everyone break out into hearty laughter professors included. After they were done singing they ran from the great hall tripping over themselves in the heels. "That was your best work ever."

"That was bloody brilliant." Dawn said.

In the common room the other Gryffindors were laughing and telling her what a brilliant prank it had been. Kain would tell the ex-marauders about it when she went home for the winter holidays.
