"RUUUUUUUNNNNN!"

"WHY DID I LET YOU CONVINCE ME TO DO THIS?!"

"BECAUSE WE BOTH AGREED IT WOULD BE FUN! AND ANYWAYS, THIS PRANK WAS YOUR IDEA!"

"YEAH, AN IDEA THAT I NEVER THOUGHT WE WERE GONNA TRY TO ACTUALLY EXECUTE! ESPECIALLY NOT LIKE THIS!"

"THEN DON'T SUGGEST SOMETHING THAT COULD GET US MURDERED NEXT TIME!!!"

"BY MERLIN, YOU'RE THE WORST!!!"

"RIGHT BACK AT YOU, POTTER!!!!"

Four Hours Earlier

Violet fell across the couch, her head landing on James's book–making him groan.

"Fox, do you know how annoying that is?" He muttered as he tried to slip his book out from underneath her head

She rolled her dark eyes, "Says you! Do you know how many times I have had to tie you to a chair to do your homework in the past two weeks?"

He sighed, "Fair point."

Violet twisted her lips as she changed from playing with her hair to fiddling with the bracelet on her wrist from her best friend.

The crackling of the fire and the occasional whispers from different students around the room filled the silent space between the two.

It was about five minutes before Violet had an idea.

And with her idea came a devilish grin, "James?"

The Potter boy looked down at her, "Yes?"

"When was the last time we pranked our dearest Minnie?"

For a split second, Violet was sure James was gonna kiss her, he looked so excited. Instead, he just swept her into his arms before promptly dropping her onto the couch with a laugh, pointing at her, "You brilliant-minded creature! Should we call the troops together or..."
