Chapter Five

≫ ──── ≪•◦ ❈ ◦•≫ ──── ≪

The rest of the week went by in a blink of an eye. Today is Friday, which means that we are having our very first Potions class of the term. Best of all, we have a double period. Awesome? Not really.

This morning, Mandy, Isobel and I woke up before Morag. The whole week she was our morning alarm, hitting us with her pillow or jumping on our beds. So it was quite a surprise to find her still sleeping.

It was still pretty early in the morning, but Isobel chose to try to wake her sister up.

"No!" Morag moaned sleepily. "Five more minutes, mum. Go away."
She slapped Isobel's hand away and turned around so that her back was facing us.

Isobel just shrugged, not trying to bother her anymore and joined Mandy and I on my bed. Just as she sat down, an idea popped into my head.

"Perfect."
I said to myself.

"What?"
Mandy asked, looking at me questionably.

I turned my head with a grin on my face.

"Oh no, she's got a crazy idea."
Mandy look bewildered.

"It's not that crazy, come on."
I rolled my eyes and stood up from my bed, facing the two girls.
"It's just a little payback for this week's morning 'tortures'."

Their faces showed realization and slowly nodded their heads.

"Alright, huddle up!"
Mandy sprang up snapped her fingers.

"Are you sure about this?"
Isobel asked, uncertainty laced in her voice.

"Yes, Belle, don't worry. Nothing bad will happen."
I reassured, giving her a gentle smile.

She smiled and nodded.

"Okay, everyone in position?"
I whispered, looking at Mandy Isobel. They nod in confirmation.

Each of us stood on the two corners of Morag's four-poster bed, Isobel stood with me, ready to proceed with our plan.

"Ready? On three, we will shake the bed viciously. One, two -"

"Three!"
Isobel yelled, cutting me off and shaking the bed with all her might.

Her voice startled us for a moment before we also shook the bed.

"Earthquake!"
We screamed in unison.

Morag snapped her eyes open and gave out a screeching scream and scrambled out of bed, running to a corner and looking at us wide, terrified eyes.

All three of us burst of laughter when we got the reaction we were looking for. When Morag saw us laughing, she stormed up to us, still with a terrified look on her face.

"You all faked it?"
She squeaked, taking quick breaths.

"Yes, we did." I admit proudly. "We just wanted to get you back for what you did every morning this past week."
