Megadoomer 3000~First Prank

[Atticus]

Atticus and Orca stole away through the hallway towards the Gryffindor Common room, it had taken a lot of convincing to get one of the Gryffindor students to tell them where the Lion's Common Room was located. But, an hour and several packages of chocolate frogs later, they knew about the Fat Lady's Portrait on the seventh floor. Then, after a long stakeout beneath Atticus' invisibility cloak, they had discovered the password to enter the common rooms.

But that had been all worth it, cause now he and Orca were racing to the portrait, each of them carrying an animal-tote kennel in both hands as they hurried to their destination.

Reaching the portrait, Atticus whispered the password and gained entrance to the Gryffindor's sanctuary. After a quick glance around for students, they hurried in. There weren't any students remaining in the tower, they had counted the red robed Gryffindors who were now at the Great Hall, eating dinner with the rest of the school. No one had been missing, but they still had to work quickly. Crouching down in the middle of the floor, Atticus and Orca released the Nifflers, who burst out of their kennels and raced up the stairs.

Now all they had to do was wait for the Nifflers to return with the girls' jewelry. After shushing Orca to be quiet, he had started giggling at the rampant sounds of the Nifflers who were now ransacking the dorms just upstairs in their search for the shiny objects. Atticus himself started laughing as he heard a thunderous crash above their heads. Gods it sounded like they had tipped over a dresser...

Before long, the Nifflers returned to their masters, proudly carrying their prizes.

"Man those girls have a lot of jewelry..." He muttered as he began untangling the myriad of necklaces. Then, spreading out the earrings, bracelets, rings and necklaces on the floor, Atticus pulled out his wand and began jinxing the jewelry. Using all sorts of hexes, letting his imagination run wild, using charms and spells that would cause the girls several ailments like incurable hiccups, different colored skin, narcolepsy, only-can-hop-on-one-foot hex, uncontrollable giggles and the uncanny urge to hit on everyone they see, along with many others.

Then, as a final touch, Atticus pulled a jar of violent blue liquid from his robes, and dunked each piece of jewelry in the potion in turn. The jewelry glowed bright blue for a few seconds, but then returned to it's original appearance as the potion set into the very metal itself. This part was crucial. So that the girls wouldn't suspect the cursed jewelry, the potion would postpone the effects of the various spells for an hour after they were worn. Atticus smirked. Payback time.

Screwing the lid back on the potion-filled jar and draping the trinkets over the Nifflers backs, Atticus and Orca watched as they ran back upstairs to replace the stolen goods in the trashed dormitories. Atticus looked nervously around him, but there wasn't anyone there, good.

After packing the Nifflers back in the kennels, he and Orca slipped out of the Common Rooms and hurried back down the staircases back to their own Common Room deep in the dungeons of the school.

Only when they were safely in front of the fireplace in the Slytherin dorms did they fall over onto the beds laughing.

Revenge was oh so sweet...

[Orca]

Orca collapsed on Atticus's bed in a fit of giggles.

"Atticus, you are a genius. You know that? I mean... they're going to be wearing several peices of jewelry each! What if one of them gets like, the hit on people one, the talking in reversed speech one, and the bright blue skin one, all together!"

Needless to say, he was aroused into more uncontrollable laughter by the hilarious imagery.

"Oh man, I don't think I can go to dinner tonight. There's no WAY I can keep a straight face around them." he said, rolling over to look at his friend, who was lieing next to him.

"I wish that I could see their expressions when they go up there to see their dorms completely trashed..." He added wistfully.

[Atticus]

Atticus grinned widely, his heart still racing from the adrenaline rush that had been caused by their flight to and from the Lion's Dormitories. This was so worth all the effort that they had put in to gain access to the Common Rooms. Not to mention all the Nifflers... but this was just the beggining there was still tomorrow...

"Thank you, thank you..." He replied, very pleased with himself. He watched his friend's unrestrained happiness and couldn't help smiling himself. It was unusual for Orca to truly be happy. Usually the hyperactive optimism that surrounded him was false, he knew. So it made him glad to be in this together with him. Anything to see him truly happy was worth any risk he took.

But his smile took on a glint of wickedness as he looked back over to his friend,

"And just think... this is only step one of our plan. GIR and Chris still have their work to do when the morning comes..."

[Atticus]

OOC: Sorry that took such a long time to post. I'm going to have to God RPG for Orca a little bit here, since he's going to be busy all next week and can't post himself . So don't kill me for it...

Atticus woke early the next morning, excitement seemed to crackle through the air like the magic that constantly surrounded them. It felt as if Christmas Morning had come early. He jumped out of his dark green four poster and threw on a shirt and jeans. Then he made his way over to Orca's bed where the boy was curled up like a dog and sound asleep.

"Orca! It's morning! Wake up already!" He said, shaking him awake. Or trying to. Orca just rolled over and groaned irritably, refusing to get up.

"Oooorcaaa, come on. We're going to miss breakfast!"

At this comment Orca opened one aqua eye to look at him pointedly.

"Food?" He said.

"Yes, food Orca!" Atticus replied. Any incentive would do at this point.

The boy sat up, and rubbed the sleep from his eyes, mumbling to himself. Atticus hurried over to the brunette's dresser and threw him some clothes.

"Hurry up and get dressed Orca, we're going to miss the show!" He said, as he rushed over to shake Pippin awake. Looking back at his younger companion, he said in response to the blank look he was receiving,

"Remember how we jinxed the girls' jewelry last night?"

A nod.

"Right, well if we don't hurry, we're going to miss the looks on their faces when the hexes kick in!"

That got him out of bed.

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

Ten minutes later, the three of them walked into the Great Hall as the students around them chatted animatedly to one another. The Leaenae were already seated not to far away from their own tables, totally unaware of what was about to hit them. He couldn't help smiling in anticipation.

Atticus was pleased to see that all of them were wearing at least three pieces of jewelry. All hexed and ready to go off in nearly five minute's time. Three of them took a seat at the Slytherin table and sat back to watch the fireworks.
