Amazons VS Marauders

Chapter 10: The Pegasus

When Elizabeth woke up to go to her Charms class, she wasn't expecting to find a bottle of Firewhiskey in her closet. For the whole week after her birthday party, she was finding bottles of alcohol everywhere in her stuff. The drunk herself must have stock some for later. She didn't remember much of what happened that night. Lizzy only knew she woke up in the Gryffindor Common Room. Without remembering how she got there.

But the young girl knew she had an amazing night. She just turned eighteen, she had the right to party. Elizabeth don't drink at parties usually, but Fabian convinced her to drink one bottle. And Elizabeth accomplished to drink the rest herself.

Lizzy regretted something from that night. She didn't talk with Remus once in the whole party, with everyone wishing her 'Happy Birthday' and her dancing like it was the last occasion in her life, she didn't see time pass. Before Elizabeth knew it, the party was over.

The Pegasus grinned, shook her head, and threw the bottle in the garbage can. It was the last time she would drink that much that year. Or ever. The hangover had been awful, and let's say it encouraged her to drink less.

After putting on her Hufflepuff uniform, she quickly left the room, with the light sound of snoring of her two roommates. Elizabeth got up earlier that day to finish the prank she began to put on Filch the night before, to be sure it was completed, since Sofia promised Peeves.

Lizzy was good friends with the girls in her dormitory, but she liked to be with the Amazons better. The feeling of the adrenaline running in her veins everytime they were meeting, knowing the whole school would love to know who they were. That if they are doing a single mistake, there's a chance they are going to be expelled, with all the mischief they caused throughout the years.

Her red hair in a high ponytail, flying in her back, she left the Hufflpuff Common Room, her bag falling on the side of her body. Elizabeth was soon in front of Filch's office. She took the Mist Mirror out of her bag, and quickly whispered the spell. Then she asked what was Argus Filch doing, and it showed the sleeping janitor, in his room. Ellie cringed at the sight. That wasn't something she dreamed to see one day, Argus Filch in his pajamas.

It was more like a nightmare.

Taking off her chestnut wand, Elizabeth muttered the unlocking spell. Entering Filch's office, she went behind his desk, where she knew the school's janitor was keeping the chains he loved so much. It was clear he was waxing them every week, and after years of spying every teachers/employees at school to know their habits, the Amazons knew it was every Wednesday.

Taking one of the lot in her left hand, she muttered the chosen spells at each inches of it, trying to complete everything as quickly as she could, knowing any students/ghost/teacher could come near by at every moment.

Elizabeth's specialty is the Magical creatures. She always found them fascinating, and she knows a friend who can bring creatures to her when needed. Like a Niffler.

Touching every inches of the chains, Lizzy cursed them to cause quite a surprise to Argus Filch.

Most seventh years were now in the dungeons for their Potions class, after dinner. Lizzy was walking to her class with Fabian, both joking foolishly, running around, having some fun before their class would begin. That's when Argus Filch bursted out of his office.

There were worms all over him. That caused every students to stop and to stare at him, after a few scared and disgusted girls yelled.

Elizabeth was right in front of Filch. She could see every single inches of his face, contorted with anger, scarlet red. His already dark eyes had now a murderous expression, and his mouth was wide open, ready to yell at someone. Elizabeth could swore she saw a worm entering in his mouth.

Mrs Norris was in his arms, growling at the students, maggots squirming all over its furr. Every single cat's hair on the animal was raised, making it look twice bigger.

"Which one of you did this?", Filch hissed, yelling the last word.

The red-headed girl walked back, pretty scared of the janitor. Then she remembered that even if he did, found out it was her, he didn't have his chains to punish her by the 'Filch way' anymore.

Lizzy had to hold back a smirk now.

Filch got closer to James Potter, glaring. If looks could kill, James Potter would be dead by now, that was sure. At least twelve times.

"I know it's you and your friends, Potter," he hissed.

Some worms fell off his head.

James gulped, and began to shook his head, walking backwads, only to collide with Peter Pettigrew.

"N- no it's not me!", he said.

"Liar!", Filch yelled, right in Potter's face.

Elizabeth cringed a little bit. She had noticed some spit leaving the janitor's mouth, to collide right into James' glasses.

Whitout waiting for another second, beginning to be scared for Potter's safety, Elizabeth took off her wand subtly, and waved it. Not only the Pegasus's symbol appeared on the wall, but the maggots grew, so they were now two times bigger.


Filch turned around, now glaring at the symbol, which was bathing his angry face in an orange light. He roared in anger, and left the room, his feet stomping on the floor. That was all we could hear in the soundless corridor.

Then, Fabian Prewett began to applause.

And the other students followed, cheering and whistling for the Pegasus.

Elizabeth applaused too and turned around. She saw the poltergeist, cheering too. Peeves and the Pegasus shared an eye contact. The poltergeist bent his head, in a respect sign, and left the room, singing loudly a song he just created about Filch and worms, singing so loudly Elizabeth was sure people in America were hearing it.
