The New Big Four In Hogwarts

Chapter 27: Planning

(Skyla's POV)

Now I know we definitely have to get Hiccup and Astrid together. I watched as Rap, Jack and Draco filed into the Room of Requirement.

"Alright. What's the plan?" Rap asked.

"How about we lock them in a room and leave them there for 3 months?" Draco suggested.

"Draco, there's no way we're doing that." I said.

"Oh! I know! How about Skyla, you and I are going to take Astrid out for a girls day and, since it's only the seven of us staying, there will be only one teacher, Professor Wressell, we should ask her if we can have a dance so Hiccup and Astrid have to be around each other." Rap squealed.

"That's a perfect idea, but what will we do with Hiccup for that time?" I asked.

"We could lock him in a room." Draco suggested.

"Draco, enough with locking people in rooms, we are not locking anyone in a room." I told him.

"Hey, I thought it was a good idea!" Draco defended himself, but as he was whining, it didn't work very well.

"Let's start planning! Draco, you and Jack will take Hiccup to get a suit, and you two better get one as well. All of the tables will be cleared out of the Great Hall but the Head Table, which is where we'll sit with Professor Wressell. Skyla, you'll have to use that spell of yours to make snow everywhere. We have to come up with a way to keep them out of Great Hall"- Rap started, but seeing the look on Draco's face, I interrupted.

"No, Draco, we are not going to lock them in a room." I turned to Rap. "Rap, darling, that's an excellent idea, but we musn't get ahead of ourselves. We haven't even asked Professor Wressell if it's okay with her yet."

"Oh yeah. I forgot. I just like planning things." Rap looked at stone floor.

"That's fine Rap. If we get permission we'll use those ideas, alright?" Jack told her, putting his arm around her shoulder. I exchanged a look with Draco. Hopefully those two will get together at the dance too.

Rap's face lit up again as she grinned up at him. "Awesome."  I checked my watch and saw that it was nearly midnight. We had been here for almost two hours!

"Guys, let's go. It's nearly midnight and we've all got class tomorrow. Yes, Rap, we will ask Professor Wressell about our plans tomorrow as well." I told them and opened the door. I watched as they slipped out, and then carefully shut the door behind me and watched it disappear.

"Professor Wressell, since we will be the only ones here over Chirtmas Break, may we have a dance?" I asked.

"I don't see why not, and I'm assuming that you have planned some it already." She replied.

"Yeah, Rap's doing most of the planning, and has figured out over half of it already." I chuckled.

"Well, I have a class to teach. You best get to class as well."

"I'll see you later, Professor Wressell!" I called as I hurried down the stairs to DADA.

We were in the ROR again, to plan. Well, actually, Rap was planning, not us. Yes, I would help sometimes, throwing out ideas, so would Jack and Draco.

"So we are going to have snowflakes falling from the ceiling, they'll be changing colors. There will be light layer of frost, snow and ice from that spell of yours, Skyla. The place mats will fake snowflakes, also changing color. All the of food that can be will be covered in powdered sugar, and the rest I have planned but you will have to wait and find out what it is later!" Rap said and then she started squealing. I looked around the ROR because it seemed to be changing. It was. I saw a recilpa of the Great Hall, but how Rap wants it to look for the dance, except that the snowflakes were changing color too rapidly for us to see the colors that she wanted them to be. I nudged Draco and then pointed at the room. Jack saw me pointing and looked too.

"Hey Rap, is this what you want to look like?" Jack asked as she calmed down, slinging his arm over her shoulder. Rap looked at the room and you could see the happiness spead over her face, and excitement as well.

"Yes! YES! This is exactly what I want!" She half-scream/squealed before fainting in Jack's arms. Jack looked at us like: 'What am I supposed to do?'

"Just take her back to your Common Room Jack, put her on one of the couches or something. If anyone asks just tell them that Peeves pranked her, but with her worst fear, so she passed out." Draco told him. Jack nodded, and as he looked down at the young girl sleeping peacefully in arms, her head resting on his chest, a small blush, as well as a small smile, appeared on his face.

Hey. I'm sorry that I haven't uodated in two months, but I have writers block. Again. Which sucks. I do have an idea for the chaper already though, so that might help a bit. Sorry about any spelling mistakes.

'Till next time,
