Order of the Sphinx... Why should HP get to have all the fun?

Chapter 14: 150 Things I Am Not Allowed To Do At Hogwarts

A/N: Hey Chickens! It's me a clown... wait. Sorry. *Clears throat*

Sorry for the wait for this chapter. Life has been hectic and I had writers block severely during the middle of this chapter. I over came it sooner than usual which is a bonus.

As Always, J.K owns everything. I only own a cool pen from the Australian War Memorial.

Chapter 14: 150 Things I Am Not Allowed To Do At Hogwarts

It was on Valentine’s Day that the real mischief began. Now, I am not the sort of person to stir up trouble, but my friends certainly are. By Valentine’s Day, we had caught up a lot on the things we had missed and our spell repertoire was at about the same level as a fourth year. We were quick learners, as we had pointed out to numerous professors. So it didn't take us long to figure out a certain level of rule breaking was acceptable.

My friends were keen to test out this theory, and see how far we could go before breaking the teacher's wills. Well, they did, I was just coerced into the action as they claimed they needed someone to take care of them and make sure they didn't get hurt. That sold me, plus I was curious to see what they were planning. I tried to tell myself that if I was with them, I could convince them to pull the pin if things went too far. Of course, I didn't need to be a psychic to know that even if I did try and make them abort the mission, they probably wouldn't listen to me and do it behind my back.

What you can't see, can't hurt you would be their logic.

They accosted me on the night before Valentine’s Day, as I was returning back from a particularly gruelling tutoring lesson with "Death" as I had so dubbed him. I was also particularly cranky because of my roaring headache; Snape had decided, in his almighty wisdom, to confiscate my bracelet as he was under the impression I was having an easy ride and wasn't trying hard enough. BULL! So now he had the bracelet in his robes pocket so I couldn't break in and steal the damn thing. The result? A constant headache and an absurdly irritable Ileana MacKay.

I walked into the common room rubbing my temples, and flung my shoulder bag onto the ground near the window with a rough gesture, snarling to myself. "Anna!" Alice crowed, running to my side and flinging her arms around me in a sideways hug. I forced a smile. "Hey koala buddy." I said, my voice strained.

Alice frowned and looked up at me. "Bad day?" she asked, her voice and eyes burning with sympathy. I snorted, "Yeah, pretty much." I answered, my voice dry. "Well we've got the answer to your problems!" Ivy burst, waving me over from the couch. I stumbled over with Alice dangling off me. I plonked down in an arm chair and Alice dove onto the couch sporting Jen, Ivy and Will. Colin was sitting on the floor next to the fireplace. It was a light and the flames crackled and hissed. I was the official fire lighter so I wondered how they managed to light it, but I figured Ivy probably cast a spell.

Jen leaned forward and grabbed my attention. "Do you still have that list we found last year? You know the 150 things I’m not allowed to do in Hogwarts?" she asked, her eyes alight with mischief. I sighed, confused as to why she wanted it. I brought out my wand and muttered "Accio bag" and my bag flew towards me. I grabbed it and searched through it for the book I was looking for.

Bringing out the little black diary I always kept in there, I opened the buckle and flicked through the pages until I found what I was looking for. When I was on the right page, I handed the book over to her. She took it gratefully and all three girls peered down at the list which was scrawled in my funny looking handwriting.
