IN HEIN'S SIGHT, they probably should've seen this coming. What did the three girls expect after pulling such an elaborate (but rather hilarious) prank? The only thing that seems to confuse everyone was how they had managed to pull off such an antic with only a fifth-year level's experience? Well, it couldn't hurt they had Katherine, the Horned Serpent with top marks in all her classes.

But still, it really wasn't their fault. Ethan Robertson shouldn't have challenged his sister and her two best friends to a pranking war. It's not like he ever could have won anyways; they were the top pranksters in the school, even if it was only Loxley and Angelica who took any of the blame.

Katherine Robertson, on the other hand, didn't want anyone knowing she was at all involved any of the girls' little jokes, let alone that she was the mastermind. Different from Loxley, who with her lavender hair and short skirts and beautiful face could ever go unnoticed, and Angelica, who had an uncanny ability to insult most anyone and everyone who dared breathe in her direction, Katherine preferred to stay curled up in the shadows with her nose in a book and her blonde hair pulled up into a lose bun. Needless to say, these three teens weren't exactly the most likely of friends.

Nevertheless, here they all were, sitting in the Headmistress's office, awaiting what they could only assume to be a punishment for this huge prank. At least it was the end of the year, Katherine thought as she ran through every possible scenario in her mind. And no one was hurt, so it really can't be that bad. Right?

The blonde was so immersed in her thoughts she almost didn't hear Headmistress Alvina open the door. She was a rather tall and intimidating woman, with a wide frame, black hair, and lips constantly pursed. Professors Villefort and Dixon, who were now back in their original state. And, Katherine almost missed, Annie Robertson, the Transfiguration professor and her older sister. Annie tried to paint a look of disappointment on her face, but Katherine could tell she was fighting a smile. She had thought the prank just as funny as they did.

"Miss Robertson, Miss Colette, Miss Anders," the Headmistress began, "I assume you all know why I have summoned you here." She paused for a moment while the three nodded, Loxley with a big smile on her face. She never had much of a regard for rules or authority. "Good, then I suppose you would like to explain to us why when I arrived at breakfast this morning, there was a hall full of student who all looked exactly like me."

Loxley and Angelica let out a small snicker, but Katherine was able to keep her grin concealed. It was true, they had turned the whole student body into exact replicas of Headmistress Alvina. It wasn't too difficult – all they had to do was make a boatload of Polyjuice Potion, sneak into the kitchens when the Pukwudgies weren't looking, and sprinkle it in the orange juice. The hardest part of the whole operation was getting some of the Headmaster's hair (which may or may not have included Loxley and Angelica sneaking into her chambers during lunch, a very stressful half an hour in a cramped closet, and being chased by one of the Professors for not being in class).
