Chapter 11: Revenge
Zoey bit her lip as she watched Echo conversing with the brown haired girl. She wondered if this was wise of Echo. The girl was a prankster after all. She gulped as she turned around to see the twins huddled together whispering. Zoey could have sworn she caught the words "Payback" and "Sticky"
"What are you doing?" she asked them.
The twins stood up straight and wore identical grins. It was obvious to her that they were plotting something.
"Oh nothing," George fibbed as he pocketed his hands.
"We just remembered we needed to get something back at the Common Room is all," Fred mimed his brother's actions.
"Say Congrats to Echo for us!" They called before running out of the Quidditch pitch and out of Zoey's sight.
Zoey stared at the place where they were previously standing on with confusion.
"This can't be good," she murmured to herself.
Zoey turned around and saw Echo and the brown haired girl taking a seat on one of the many benches surrounding the Quidditch Pitch. They were absorbed in a conversation completely ignoring the rest of the tryouts. Zoey bit her lip as she debated if she should walk over to see if Echo was alright.
'She seems to be doing fine,' Zoey thought to herself as she watched Echo laugh.
After several seconds of contemplating on the matter she gave a shaky sigh and walked over. The closer Zoey got the clearer she could see the brown haired girl's features. She noted that the girl had sapphire blue eyes and pale skin. Zoey bit her lip as she stopped about three feet away from the two Ravenclaw's.
"Fred and George said 'Congrats'," she said lamely trying to get Echo's attention. Zoey did not do well with meeting new people.
Echo raised an eyebrow, "They said that? What's gone loco in their head? By the way, this is Bridgit," Echo smiled at Zoey
Zoey shifted her feet, "Loco? What do you mean? I thought it was a rather nice gesture… Ah! Er –Hi?" she said awkwardly Bridgit smiled.
"They would probably say that when they're up to no good," Echo shook her head
"When are they never?" Zoey laughed, slightly loosening up.
"Sometimes, their gestures are an almost-see-through poker face you could guess what they're gonna do and you'd turn up right," Echo rolled her eyes.
Before Zoey could reply she caught Bridgit looking towards her, "So you're Zwei right?" she said.
Zoey smiled at the nickname, "That would be me," she said as she scratched the back of her head, pulling some stands of hair out of her tie.
"I know this will sound a bit weird, but what did you think about my pranks? Or do you hate me for pranking your friends?" Bridgit asked, bowing her head in embarrassment.
"Ah! Pranks?" Zoey blushed, "To be honest…they were rather funny… wait… you aren't going to pull one on me are you?" she panicked
Bridgit smiled at Zoey, "No, I don't pull pranks on people who seems cool. Besides, I only pulled pranks on them because pranking the pranksters seemed like just too good an opportunity to pass up"
Zoey sheepishly grinned at Bridgit, "I guess I can see where you're coming from"
"Ahh… someone who understands. I'm actually shocked that they haven't pranked me back yet. Especially since they know it's me," Bridget said as she tried to fix her ponytail.
Zoey opened her mouth to reply but her words were quickly replaced with a gasp. Floating above Bridgit was a wooden bucket that seemed to be overflowing with a bubbling liquid.
"What's wrong?" Bridgit asked, noticing Zoey's shocked and unreadable face.
"Br-Bri-" sadly Zoey did not have time to warn the unsuspecting Ravenclaw for the bucket tipped over and drenched her. Zoey let out a small scream as Echo ducked.
The liquid was fizzing and smelled slightly sweet. Zoey's hands shot to her mouth as she stared wide eyed at Bridgit. She could hear laughing at the background.
"That was brilliant Gred!"
"Absolutely stupendous Forge!"
The twins emerged from hiding and were clutching their sides in laughter. Zoey shot them a surprised look while Echo stood up with a glare, "You two…"
"What the bloody hell was…," Bridgit tried to day but cut herself off when she noticed she couldn't stand up herself. "What did you pour on me? Oh why am I even asking it's fairly obvious you poured a sticking potion," Bridgit said angrily.
"Well maybe…," Fred started
"Or maybe not," George ended, causing Bridgit to look up at the two of them.
"You two are crazy," Echo said trying to help Bridgit with the sticking potion/
"Yes, but she declared war," George said.
"We're just making sure that we even out the playing field a bit," Fred then said
"Hmm… this isn't much. You're prank is actually pretty common, now if you added just a bit of dragon eyes and sea plants then this-" Bridgit motioned to her drenched clothes and seat, "Would have become more permanent."
The twins looked at her in shock.
"Did you just insult our prank?" Fred asked glaring at her.
"Oh dear," Zoey finally spoke as she wound her arms around the twins trying, but failing with their strength and size, to keep them from attacking the Ravenclaw girl.
"I didn't insult it. I was just suggesting," Bridgit said, still trying to get the potion off of her.
"And you think you could have done better?" George asked keeping his glare.
"No," Bridgit smirked, "I know I would've done better"
"Oh Merlin!" Zoey gasped as she felt herself fall forward as the twins lunged towards Bridgit, both had red ears and cheeks from anger. Echo swiftly came behind the twins and grabbed their collars; Zoey leaped to her feat and helped Echo. The twins were still trying to attack the Ravenclaw whose butt was stuck on a bench.
"Who do you think you're playing at?" Bridgit shouted, though with the sticking potion all over her it was hard to take her seriously
At the sight the twins smirked and calmed down a bit. Zoey looked at them and Bridgit worriedly.
"What are we doing George?" Fred asked as he faced his brother, "Attacking a poor and defenseless girl? Shame on us"
"Let's see who's defenseless when I get out of this thing!" Bridgit yelled after hearing Fred's comment.
"I'd like to see you try girly," George teased as he leaned against his brother.
Echo angrily grabbed her broom and thwacked both Fred and George at the back of their heads. Zoey gasped when she heard the audible thud.
"If you must fight, please, let me eat. I want to take part in the brawl," Echo said as she swung her broom over her shoulder.
Zoey gave Echo a disbelieving look, "You're not trying to stop this?"
"I was just kidding…"
Zoey ignored her comment and asked, "Do you know any spells to get Bridgit out of her –err- sticky situating?"
"There's no need for spells," Bridgit said as she continued to glare at the twins, "This comes off with water mixed with Scorpion venom. It'll burn the stickiness off"
"Right…," Zoey muttered as she looked around trying to hide her confusion, she gasped, the Quidditch Pitch was deserted except for the five of them, "Where did everyone go?"
"But how will you know if you got the part?" Zoey asked as she turned her attention to Echo rather than Bridgit and the twins. She was sure they wouldn't kill each other… yet.
"Pardon?"
"How will you know if you got the position?" Zoey patiently asked again.
"They'll post it won't that?" Echo said
"Right…" Zoey mumbled, "But that wasn't how they did it for Gryffindor…"
"Well that was Gryffindor wasn't it?" Echo asked, "We're Ravenclaw"
"Ravenclaws are more serious and we take Quidditch as an activity not a priority," Bridgit suddenly said, making Zoey and Echo look at her.
"Oh look here Forge, we actually have a smart prankster," Fred said sarcastically
"Drop it," Echo said sending a glare
"I really need to get this stuff off, but we have nowhere to get scorpion venom… wait a minute.. how about a self-made spell?" Bridgit asked
"A what?" the twins lamely said as they looked at Bridgit with eye brows raised.
"A self-made spell, you know a spell that you spontaneously make up when you can't think of one. They say that if you're strong enough you can do it," Echo answered, "Merlin, do you even pay attention in class?"
"Of course we do!" Fred exclaimed with mock shock.
"Just not very often," George grinned.
"Really now," Echo said
"Look, not to sound rude or anything, but can you get me out?" Bridgit asked getting impatient.
"Right, sorry," Zoey said as she took out her wand from her pocket, "How do I make sure the spell does what I want it too?"
"Think really hard about what you want it to do and say the first word that pops into your head," Bridgit said
Zoey bit her lip as she thought long and hard on the spell. She closed her eyes and in a second, yellow and orange swirls appeared in her head. She opened her mouth and exclaimed, "Reglutino!"
Yellow and orange sparked sprang from her wand and dashed towards Bridget. Zoey watched wide eyed as the sparked began to remove to potion from Bridgit. As they cleaned her up Zoey felt slightly faint. 'I wouldn't want to make my own spells often,' she thought as her head lightly pounded.
When Bridgit was dry she successfully pried herself of the bench and reached for her wand.
"Now who's defenseless again?" She asked with a smirk on her face. She looked at the twins.
Fred and George looked at her in shock but before they could get a word in they found themselves floating up several feet in the air. Zoey felt herself panic a bit.
"Put us down!" the yelled as they floated higher and higher.
"Nah, I rather fancy you two up there," Bridgit answered.
Zoey sent a panic look at Bridgit, "Can you please put them down?" she asked as she felt her heart hammering at her chest.
"Do I have too?"
"Please," Zoey answered
Bridgit thought for a couple of seconds before giving in, "Fine" she said and with a flick of her wand the twins fell back on the ground. Zoey winced as she approached them. They were groaning in pain not even bothering to insult or shoot a remark at Bridgit. Zoey bent down a bit as she tried to help the twin up from behind her she heard Echo say:
"Let's eat!"
'She sounds like nothing happened…,' Zoey sighed as the thought passed her mind.
"Yeah, let's go," Fred said as he took Zoey's hand and headed towards the castle, George at his side and Bridgit and Echo trailing behind. Zoey felt a blush crawl on her cheeks.
As they retreated back to the Great Hall, the twins did not hear Bridgit mutter a spell and with a wave of her wand two stoned hit Fred and George square on the head.
"Bloody hell!" The twins' exclaimed as their hands shot up to their aching heads. Zoey looked worriedly at them before looking at Bridgit. She watched her mount her broom.
"Next time, mess with someone else," Bridgit said as she kicked off from the ground and flew away.
"That girl is mental!" Fred said rubbing the back of his head.
"I don't care right now!" Echo snapped at them, "I WANT FOOD!"
