The next morning we all made our way down to the Great Hall for breakfast. It was going along like it usually did; Remus was reading, James was kissing Lily, Peter was confused, and Sirius had his arms around my shoulders. Suddenly we turned when we heard yelling and whistling coming from just outside the room. In walked the Slytherins, all sporting flaming red-orange hair, making them look like lions with their manes. Sirius gave me a sideways glance, I could see the smirk plane on his face. I grinned back at him, proud of the response from my prank.

James looked at me in disbelief, "how did you manage that?" I laughed at my ingenious. "I payed a first year Slytherin to put dye in the shower heads...so no matter who takes a shower, they all end up with magical dye in their hair." "What do you mean magical dye?" Peter asked. I heard Remus snort and give me a knowing smile. "Oh nothing...just that the dye won't wear off for a couple months.Oh! I forgot, the longer it's in your hair, the more it tends to change colors!" Everyone at the table laughed loudly, while Lily gave me a disapproving look as she tried to hide her smile.

"Hawke!"

We all turned at the shrill shriek of my name. Standing there fuming was Stacy, her orange hair standing on end. I couldn't help but laugh, orange was definitely not her color. "You did this! You idiot, change it back!" "Oh sorry, no can do. The spell won't wear off for a long time." If looks could kill I'd definitely be dead by the glare she was giving me.

I saw her get ready to yell at me when Professor McGonagall appeared beside her, "What is going on here?" Stacy gave her a sickly sweet smile before replying, "well professor, Ella is responsible for this childish prank." McGonagall sent me a look that said 'why am I not surprised'. I just gave her an innocent look back. "Well miss Hawke, you will be serving detention tomorrow after dinner. Report to Professor Slughorn right after you finish eating." I stood up and soluted her, "Yes ma'am!" Stacy smiled smugly at me before turning and strutting to the Slytherin table. I had the urge to stick my tongue out after her, but I restrained from my childish impulses.
