With my prank decided and my plan set, the only thing I need to do was master the magic required to execute the plan effectively. Unfortunately I wasn’t as well acquainted with my magic compared with most witches and wizards my age; I didn’t have the confidence or assurance in my magic as others did with theirs, the only thing I had was the hope of learning by trial and error.
Upon being left to my own devices, I began working determinedly on my own spell; this spell wasn’t the work of just one night, since seeing Kenza I’d been trying and practicing making my own spell given it’s complexity. If I could master and complete it, then it would be genius; not only would it ensure Madam Pomfrey didn’t check on me, it would also fool her into thinking I never left my bed as well as help me prank the twins.
By 9.30pm I was ready and eager to go; Madam Pomfrey had made her rounds and given me my dreamless sleep potion, which I’d pretended to drink before hiding it in my bedside cupboard. As soon as she’d drawn my curtain and I’d heard her office door shut, I was on my feet in seconds and had already attempted my spell several times before finally managing the desired effect, a close to real image of a sleeping me. Now who can say I can’t be in two place at once? Yes boys! After standing in surprise at actually managing to succeed, I quickly remembered tonight’s mission and made my way to the hospital wing door before shutting it silently behind me.
Now…how to get to the dungeons? I thought, suddenly realizing I’d forgotten to factor into my plan my lack of knowledge of Hogwarts. So much for careful planning! Good one Robyn. Standing paused outside the door to the hospital wing, I searched desperately through my mind for a possible way to get around my current problem.
We’ll take you there. Spoke up the male voice I’d heard from inside my locket earlier today; bringing with him a sudden boost in confidence and assurance of my idea. Trusting the voice, I followed his directions and was led through a series of winding dark corridors and down several flights of stairs before entering into a cold stoned walled corridor. Lit with a dreary sense of foreboding; the temperature dropping signaling just how deep under the school I must now be.
At the other end of the corridor, laughter could be heard echoing its way off the walls of the empty corridor, reassuring me I was in the right place. Quietly I made my way towards where the laughter was originating from then peaked around the corner to see, stood supporting each other and holding their stomachs from the stitches their outrageous laughing was causing them, were the twins. Their red hair illuminated by the slither of light shining through a gap in the wall. Carefully I crept up towards them, hidden by darkness, I cautiously peaked around them to see what they were laughing at and had to cover my mouth to prevent my own laughter joining theirs.
Through the gap, the ‘Slytherins’ I assumed, were all stood on different pieces of furniture, armed with various stationary utensils to fight off the small, havoc causing purple pixies, the twins had let loose on them. Nice prank boys…but you’re about to be part of one better! Mwahahaha *cue evil laughter* Sneaking back behind the corner, I watched as the boys gave each other a celebratory high five before deciding to cue my own prank.
Pressing my back against the wall and closing my eyes, I imagined a little girl with a cute face and big eyes, wearing a Hogwarts uniform; focusing on the image, I put meaning behind the incantation as I said it to make the image real. “Imageous Repetious” I murmured. Praying it had worked, I opened my eyes to find, in pleasant surprise, that my spell had worked and the little girl I’d imagined stood before me. Boomting!
“Come on George, Snape will be slithering this way anytime soon. Our misson here is complete.” I heard one of them say as their laughter died down. Knowing they were beginning to walk this way, I quietly ran down the next corridor to ensure no teachers caught me, when I heard the boys footsteps getting closer, I pictured the little girl sitting in the middle of the corridor crying and focused on the image. Peaking around the corner into the corridor, my heart began to race excitedly when I saw the little girl’s image sat crying loudly; the way I’d pictured her.
“Fred, can you hear that?” I heard one of them ask from the next corridor.
“Yeah…sounds like…crying? I think its coming from the next corridor” Spoke Fred, I smirked as they appeared around the corner. Upon seeing the little girl with her back to them, crying, they quickly went over and knelt beside her. “Hey, hey, hey! What’s wrong?”
“Please don’t cry” Spoke the other twin softly. “Hey, look at us.” Now full on grinning, I imagined the little girl with moldy green, slimy tentacles, wriggling as they spewed from her mouth and her eyes now big as saucers, shiny black like those seen on insects. After doing this I focused on imagining her turning around to face the boys before quickly opening my eyes in time to catch their reactions to her face.
The two boys, upon seeing the alien-like face of the supposed ‘girl’ in front of them, let out two surprising high pitched, girlish screams before immediately jumping up but banging heads in the process. Scrambling quickly to their feet, still screaming they pushed and shoved each other in their efforts to get as far away from the corridor and the ‘girl’ as possible given that I now had it chasing them through the corridors, both the image and the boys screaming.
It was impossible to contain my laughter as it burst from me. Tears streamed from my eyes as my stomach began to cramp, leaning against the wall for support, I panted heavily in an effort to contain myself but ended laughing anyway as the looks on the boys faces replayed over and over in my head. From my locket the voice roared with laughter, all the while congratulating me, which added to my joy at pulling off a successfully hilarious prank. That a girl Robyn; move over boys and make way for Robyn new prank Queen, I thought, still laughing hysterically, as I mentally congratulated myself.
“I’m glad you found that funny.” Came a shaky voice. Looking up from my bent over, stomach-clutching position, stood several feet in front of me looking very pale and shaken up, were the twins…
