WE ARE THE PEOPLE — EMPIRE OF THE SUN
'We are the people that rule the world.'
Cassie is happy after November's full moon. She's happy those awful loud noises and blurry sights have gone. It's a relief like no other— like finally reaching peace.
But that peace doesn't last long, because the following Saturday, Mattheo insists on going to Hogsmeade and pulling a prank on Flint. "No— hear me out!" he exclaims, the hand gestures coming out on the Slytherin table. Cassie snorts as he struggles to gain everyone's attention. "We can put spider-web grenades in his dorm and hex the webs into shooting out the same gas as dungbombs."
Cassie contemplates the idea. It's a lot of work for a prank, but she's pretty willing to do it when Marcus Flint is involved. Plus, they haven't pulled a prank like this since first year. "You know what, I like it. We can even make them invisible so he doesn't know they're there." Cassie suggests.
"Thank you! Someone finally has some sense." Mattheo sighs, sitting back.
"Yeah, I think I'll stay out of this one." Draco says. He and Blaise tend to back off their Flint pranks. Draco pulls all sorts on Harry whenever he fancies, but that's usually with the help of Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle— who Cassie isn't particularly fond of.
"I'll join." Pansy shrugs.
Cassie grins at look to Enzo. He smiles, shaking his head. "I'll do it." he says. "Any excuse to make Flint suffer." he adds with a casual shrug.
"I'm in." Theo beams.
"Blaise?" Mattheo proposes.
Blaise tilts his head to the side. "Eh— I don't know. I don't particularly fancy being in detention for two weeks."
"We won't get caught, promise." Cassie says.
"You say that every time." Blaise scoffs.
"No, I mean it this time!"
"I think I'll pass."
They groan in annoyance. Blaise is never one for their pranks. He tends to sit back with Draco and watch the chaos blow up in their faces. They're both too nonchalant to get involved, Cassie reckons. Draco's father wouldn't be happy if he found out he was cursing fellow Slytherins, let alone pure-bloods. Blaise, however, just has a bit more common sense than the others.
Draco isn't really the same type of chaotic Cassie thinks her, Mattheo, Theo and Pansy are. Enzo can be chaotic when he chooses to, but most of the time he's pretty relaxed. Draco is spiteful and likes to take his anger out on the people he dislikes— Harry, Hermione and Ron for example. He's an angry person with a temper as short as firefly. Cassie can't say she understands Draco, but she does try her best.
"Fine then." Theo shrugs.
After they all finish their lunches, the group head to Hogsmeade. It's cold now, especially since it's the start of December. Cassie wraps up warm with her brown jacket— she has a few pins on the front pocket; one of David Bowie's Aladdin Sane bolt with a white background, a Union Jack and the face of a white Siberian tiger.
She walks in between Blaise and Mattheo as they argue back and forth about the prank. Mattheo seems to of noticed her zoning out, so he lightly nudges her. "What'd you think, Cass? Blaise reckons that this prank is going to go horribly wrong. Personally, I wholeheartedly disagree." Mattheo smiles.
Cassie laughs, "I hate to admit it, Blaise, but Mattheo's right— and that's a sentence you won't hear coming from my mouth very often."
Blaise laughs but Mattheo scoffs. "What makes you so sure it's going to go well?"
