We Solemnly Swear We Are Up To No Good

Chapter 5: My Special Abilities.

"Yea right," I scoffed as turned around. And facing me was the fattest boy in the world (well maybe not but he was like a walrus).

"Hey Vernon," I said to my sister's boyfriend.

"Hi Lillian," he said. I growled as he said my full name.

"Who was that," my sister asked me while she clung to her boyfriend's arm.

"Ohh just a friend," I replied while turning away, and walking back inside the house, since I wasn't really in the mood to see my toothpick sister make out with a walrus.

I walked up into my bedroom and changed into some PJs, and plopped in bed falling straight asleep. Tired from today's activities.

I woke up to darkness. On my alarm clock it said 4:00am. I wasn't tired anymore so I got changed and ate the dinner Petunia left out for me. And I got to work on my prank.

Now you would think that I'm a goody two shoes, teacher's pet, manner freak, or nerd. And well I am at times, but I still have my... ungraceful moments. Like I once burped so loud, our neighbors called the police. So yea, I'm not perfect. And besides art, and school... I love pranking. It's just so good to make someone laugh. But I always made sure no one gets hurt. But the best part about my pranks, is that I video tape, the whole thing (my parents got me a video camera for my birthday). Because their reactions are priceless.

I decided that I should make them so sad, that they will be overjoyed to see me. And I knew just how to do it. I snuck into Petunias room and grabbed her video camera of her desk. I ran down the stairs and placed mine on the kitchen table, facing the door. I ran back upstairs and placed Petunia's by bookshelf, again facing the door. I checked my watch, 5:00. Hey, it takes time to plan a perfect prank. I took a shower, and headed to my closet to change. I put on a blue v neck tee shirt, dark blue short shorts, light blue gladiator shoes, and an anchor necklace. I put my hair into a French braid having it hang over my right shoulder. I was hungry again, so I had some strawberries in the kitchen. I heard, a knock on the window. Curious, I went over to see a grey owl sitting on the windowsill, a letter and parcel attached to its foot. I opened the window and took the letter and package off and read the letter.

Dear Lily,

Here is a beginner's book of spells, and I muggles guide to the wizarding world. Hope it helps to explain stuff, and get you a little more info. See you later today, and happy reading.

From, Sirius, Elle, Lee, and James.

I opened up the parcel to find the two books. I practiced, read, and set up the prank. I was ready.

*************************************

"Ohh beautiful," I heard James call from outside, I checked the clock on the wall from behind my hiding place. It read 11:00. Just on time. I didn't reply but moved to behind the coach for a better view of their faces, after turning on the video camera. But I didn't reply. "Lily are you ok." Nothing. "Lils you're kinda scarring me. Please open the door," he yelled. He tried the door knob. But it only rattled since it was locked.

"Ohh move over," shouted Lee, "Open." And the lock clicked and the door opened.

"What the heck," shouted Sirius exasperated. I would be too if I came to a house looking like this. The lamps were on the floor broken, windows and mirrors were shattered on the floor. Blinds fallen down, lights broken, and something red was oozing from the ceiling.

They all did an awesome five way glance, "Lily" the said together. They ran up the stairs while I and I just grabbed the camera (and turning it off) and levitated myself up, don't ask me how. I just started to fly up through the floor, and up into my room. I quickly hid under my bed after turning my camera on. I heard footsteps coming closer. I heard the screech of petunia, and the wail of Vernon, as five kids burst in to the room where they sat talking since he came over earlier.
