Alyss Granger: First Year

Halloween means Tricks

CHAPTER 13

The rest of the week went by pretty uneventfully. There were a few things like Tom and Teddy saying ‘R-er’ but other than that really nothing. Well, my hair went green for a day and once my skin went a bit silver. Matt and I had a few issues but we got over it. Then before we knew it September was gone and it was Halloween.

“TEDDY REMUS LUPIN!” I yelled. “WHY ARE MY ROBES ORANGE?! I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WOULDN’T DO ANYMORE PRANKS!”

“I lied.” He said simply.

“How do you know a color change charm?” Matt asked. He was still with us.

In answer, Teddy held up a bottle, George’s pour on color changing potion. I was going to owl him. I lunged for the bottle. He passed it to Tom. I jumped at Tom and he passed it to Matt.

“Give it.” I growled and he passed it to me.

“Don’t put me against my girl-friend!” He said.

“You two are going to pay! Petrificus Totalus!” I said. And then Matt held up his hand.

“Tom didn’t do a thing.” He said and I lowered my wand.

“What bloody spell was that?” Tom asked weakly.

“The full body-bind.” I said. “And he deserved it.”

“Whoa, we should only know the leg locker curse.” Matt said.

“Can you let him go?” Tom said.

“Fine, Finite Incantatem.” I said regretfully.

“That was bloody mental!” Teddy said getting up off the floor.

“Would you like to fix my robes?” I asked sweetly.

“Not really but I will.” He said walking over and dumping some pink potion on my orange robes and they were fixed.

“Thank you.” I said now completely calm and Matt and Tom let out a sigh of relief. When I got mad no one wanted to be near me. Or risk getting hexed. “Oh, and I can do the Bat-Bogey hex too.”

And with that I walked to breakfast. Or, rather, I started to but I heard Teddy’s laughter and found my shoes were orange.

“TEDDY!” I screamed and he fixed those too.

“You act like a prefect sometimes.” Tom said.

“Which means what?” I said sharply.

“Just saying.” He said quickly.

“I love Saturdays!” Teddy said.

“Yeah, because there’s no classes.” Matt laughed.

“If only we were allowed to have our own brooms.” Teddy sighed.

“Be patient. You know there are a chaser and a seeker spot next year.” Tom said smiling.

“They are reserved for Alyss and me!” Teddy said punching the air.

“That is one thing I agree with you for.” I said. And we all laughed. “We have to visit Hagrid but after that what should we do? No, Teddy.” Teddy shut his mouth he was about to say pull a prank as always. He was going to have a filling cabinet full of detention records when we were done with Hogwarts. He already had about an inch of them. But he tried hard not to involve me in their pranks. I would try to make them stop doing the prank and therefore get them caught and I had done this about five times before Teddy caught on and only did it with Matt and Tom.

“But I wasn’t going to say that! I was going to say we should go to the lake.” Teddy said and we all stared that was so unlike Teddy!

“Who are you and what have you done with Teddy R-er Lupin?” Tom said in shock.

“I just want to go by the lake.”

“I say we just go with this peaceful Teddy while it lasts.” Matt said gaping at him.

We walked out to the lake with Teddy leading and the rest of us just staring at him. He sat under the tall birch tree and we followed. I should have known it was too good to last and that Teddy had something up his sleeve but I didn’t even think.
