Grudges

Chapter 2

"Could you kindly shut your mouth." Skye snapped glaring at the Ravenclaw girl. "And if you don't I will do it for you." Skye's words were cold making the girl roll her eyes and walk away without a word. Skye had just about had it that day, from the constant attempts to cover her in slime from the two Gryffindor twins, to the Hufflepuff that tried to copy her homework in potions.

"You know people could have the common decency to be nice once and awhile." Skye complained as she pushed her plate of chicken away. "Not only have people been cheating off of me, the twins are still trying to prank me." As much as she hated to admit it she found it humorous when they tried to prank her. It had been two years she had been avoiding slime that hung above the entrance into the dungeon, getting candy that made you turn purple. Each time they tried Skye always found a way to counter it or simply didn't give in.

"Just let them get you once, they'll leave you alone. It's like a never ending game of cat and mouse, but once the cat gets the mouse. The game ends." Victoria said quietly. Skye thought about it. Cat and mouse? Hmmm.. maybe she didn't have to be the mouse in this scenario. A smirk crossed Skye's face as she pulled out her small black book she used to sketch and write down pranks.

"They really think after all this time that they can beat me?" Skye said earning and loud sigh from Victoria. Although the twins didn't know it yet, the prank war had begun yet again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Skye started off with something small, something that would let them know the war had begun.

"Did you see Fred and George?" Victoria asked as the two girls walked down to herbology together. Skye couldn't wipe the grin off of her face.

"I figured they needed a new hair color. Orange wasn't suiting them." Skye said happily as she put a little skip in her step. Skye and Victoria's path was suddenly blocked as the twins stood there with arms crossed over their chests. One had blue hair while the other had bright pink.

"Nice hair color." Skye commented.

"You didn't give us a fair warning." They said in unison. Skye just shrugged and gently pushed them to the side. "Don't think-" Fred started to say, "Your getting away so quickly." George finished. Right after that she was tossed over Fred's shoulder her bag of books hitting the ground with a loud thud.

"Guys wait come on let me go! I was late two days in a row last week!" Skye complained as she hit his back. "Victoria come on help me!" Skye begged.

"You did this to yourself Skye. I am allowed to get through right guys?" Victoria asked as she shrugged at Skye's attempts to get through.

"Hmm. I think-" "Not."

George started towards Victoria, making sure not to let her pass. Meanwhile Skye still wouldn't stop yelling at them.

"Fred Weasley you put me down right now! Don't make me cover you in toilet water!" She yelled.

"We wouldn't even go that far." They say in unison. Finally Skye gave up. There was no point in fighting anymore.

"You're a bad friend for not helping me." Skye pouted looking at Victoria.
