Nicky stepped into the library, throwing an innocent glance at her surroundings. She smiled at the librarian with the biggest smile she could manage and strolled casually into one of the farther corners of the library. She had received a letter from her brother which was the first one in a long while so she got so caught up in reading it that she completely forgot about the time. She was afraid she was running late.
None of her friends were there so she let out a sigh of relief. She wasn't that late yet.
She found a spot which was close enough to the librarian's desk which was, however, far enough so that she wouldn't hear her wander among the bookcases aimlessly. She didn't want her to get suspicious. Nicky brushed her fingers against the book covers on a shelf in front of her. The books fascinated her, just their smell alone and the sight of orderly letters across the pages were mesmerizing to her. The library was a magic place, a happy place. And it was about to get a whole lot happier. Nicky smiled to herself, picked a book off a shelf and stood there waiting.

Juniper couldn't wait. She knew what was happening today, or, she knew what she would make happen today. Her and a group of people, to be exact. This was either really smart or really stupid, but she didn't care either way. It might be both, but it would be worth it. Every single bit. She was saving her voice for it, too, and that was struggle. In fact, she deserved some sort of award.
She waited and waited, but she knew it was time. She jumped up and down and ran out of the common room, making a quick stop first. She came to a halt in front of the Gryffindor entrance and waited patiently for her best friend, Cody. She didn't have to wait long, because he came out. She had opted for some overalls and a t-shirt, and had left her wand behind. "Come on! Cody!" In the front pocket of her overalls, her toad peeked his head out lazily.
"Ribbit Browney Jr. Insisted he came along." She explained. She turned her back to Cody. "Come on, shortcake, hop on my back, I'm strong enough." And also, he was shorter than her. Once he hopped on, she grinned.
She took off running to the library, Cody making airplane noises the whole way. She used her head to open the door. She dropped Cody at the entrance and scanned the library until she saw Nicky. She ran over excitedly. "Hi Nicky! Where's everyone else?" She asked, looking around.
"This is gonna be awesome! Oh-" She poked her front pocket so her toad peeked out again. "This is ribbit Browney Jr. He insisted he come, so, I'm hiding him in here." She whispered.

Henry slipped on a hoodie and stepped out of his bunk room as his orange feline; Loki jumped on his right shoulder and sat there.
The pair exited the Snape dormitory and started out the common room, the third year looked down the hall and saw a familiar face Device to jog a bit to catch up with her.
"Hey, Rouge Savior," Henry spoke to Scarlet once he caught up with her, falling into step besides her as they headed to the library. The teen pulled out a classic hogsmeade chocolate bar from the pocket of his hoodie and handed it to the second year as he spoke" I bought to many on my last visit and if I leave them in my nightstand then Avery might eat them," the teen smiled toward the girl as he started to climb the stairs to the next floor.
The third year would move his blue eyes toward her as he lowered his voice a bit, whispering" we should talk about the club sometime, in the shack maybe?" The third year looked over at the girl, his blue eyes studying her as he slightly mentioned thie secret werewolf club for the wolves of Hogwarts to have a place to be themselves and a pack- no a family to go through the struggles and transformations with. Although managing the club between the two of them was doable, it was harder since their third founder left the school. Henry still missed her.
As they neared the library, the teen looked ahead as all his emotions hid behind the 'barrier' soothe others wouldn't see them. The teen wondered and questioned why they- specifically he would be invited to join this group maybe he was better friends with Nicky than he thought as he spoke" I wonder what's going to happen here, you don't think she'll try to prank us right?" The blue eyed teen smiled a little at Scarlet as he followed her in entering the library.
Walking through the massive room filled with rows and rows of books, the teens took a breath and smiled softly over at Scarlet as he spoke" feel free to laugh at me but the library is wickedly amazing," a small laugh escape his lips as he approached the group. Three others were there, all he apparently knew.
"Hey, mates," Henry spoke smiling at Nicky then Juniper and finally Cody who he recently met a few days ago in the laboratory's. Loki gave a greeting to the group as well, in the form of a short meow.

The smell of old books induced Addie with a complicated mix of emotions. Though she would never admit it to another living soul, she had always enjoyed reading, so this smell brought her a small source of comfort. On the other hand, however, the intense emphasis her parents placed on her education had caused some long, sleepless nights, poring over her textbooks in an exhausting effort to go above and beyond with her schoolwork. In this sense, the shelves of books which surrounded her also brought to the surface some residual stress and anxiety.
Adeline let out a small sigh as she rolled up the parchment she had been working on and closed her textbook. Rubbing her tired eyes, she glanced down at her watch--perfect timing. On a normal day, Addie wouldn’t have set foot in the library--it was far too quiet for her taste--but today was not a normal day.
With a renewed energy, Addie stuffed all of her belongings into her backpack, which still smelled a bit like gunpowder from the fireworks they had held the night of her and Nicky’s prank in the headmaster’s office. In one fluid motion, she slipped on her jean jacket, and slung the backpack over her shoulder, ready for the mischief that was in store.
Addie forced herself to walk slowly as she maneuvered her way back toward the front of the library. She needed to look casual, inconspicuous, while also keeping an eye out for the group she was meeting. As she ambled along, searching through the bookshelves, she finally came across the group of people she was looking for. With a mischievous grin, she redirected her course.
“Fancy seeing all of you here,” she whispered as she approached. “Is it almost time to get this show on the road?”

- Outfit -
Scarlet had an extra spring in her step walking about her dorm that day, she found herself already in the musical spirit as she got changed into something more comfortable, humming a tune to herself as she did. She opted for a comfy pair of leggings and an oversized hoodie, matched with her favourite pair of trainers, all of which, she was pleased to say, were dry and back to normal after her time in the maze during summer.
Leaving the dorm, she heard a familiar voice call out to her as she walked, "Wolf Prince!" she exclaimed as she turned to see her friend, "and the king of mischief himself," she said as she reached out to give Loki a little stroke. Given the circumstances, it was sort of fitting for Loki to be joining them with today's activity.
Scarlet took the chance, as the pair ascended the stairs from the dungeon to the library, to catch up her friend, giving him the update on the sleep-talking girl in her dorm, she was sure the girl was going on about having dinner with the Black Lake's giant squid last night. "Thanks!" she said as Henry offered her a bar of chocolate he had gotten in Hogsmeade, "I actually think I'm getting addicted to this stuff now," she said, putting the bar in the pocket of her hoodie, knowing it was only going to last her a few days.
"Definitely," she said in reply to his suggestion, "we've got to make some new plans, given the recent change of events," she added, referring to the shift in club numbers. The talk of werewolves soon faded from conversation as they reached more populated areas of the castle, nearing the library.
The pair entered the library, Scarlet scanning the room for the familiar faces from the club's first meeting, "you're the only one I actually know properly, so you tell me!" she said with a small laugh, but know she was pretty sure of the intentions of the others in the group and didn't think they two of them were the ones to be 'pranked' today.
"Wouldn't dream of it," she said with a smile, "I actually think I might like this place more than you," she admitted, "KIDDING! We'll say equals," she said, laughing, "and that laugh doesn't count."
She caught sight of Nicky, Juniper and Cody, all of whom looked eager to get started. "Hi!" she said, "good to see you all look raring to go." Scarlet caught sight of Juniper's toad as he briefly popped his head out from her pocket, "are you getting him ready for the frog choir?!" she joked. Another voice joined in from behind her, "well, we're all here now, so what do you think Cody, shall we get this thing started?!" she asked, the excitement evident in her voice.

[font=Century Gothic]The night began to dawn, the harmoniously funny thought popped into his head. Oh, but he dare to think of it just minutes before the group was to do anything? That would be very sad, and perhaps even depressing, if he plotted out his entire plan, without the group. They only discussed the basics of what they were to do. Cody grinned as he saw Juniper, "Come on Cody!" He heard, his ears perking up on the name, quickly running, and took a leap.
He wasn't very heavy, but he was small. He looked at the girl in pride. "Hello Page. Are we ready to wreck havoc tonight?" Cody added, then making airplane noises the entire way. He was like a baby, or maybe even a six year old, with a chaotic streak. Maybe one day, he'll grow out of it, but why would it matter? He was hot, and he already had a few people ask him out, but of course, Cody wasn't interested in them. He only wanted to devote his time to his friends, well, he only had one friend at the moment, and the rest were all accomplices.
A huge smirk smeared across his face, he had a pendant around his neck, It was of the Green Man, which he had from his grandmother, who gave it to him as a good luck gift before he moved to Plymouth England. He treasured if, and if something were to happen to it, Cody would go insane. We didn't want that happening right?
"Hey mates." He heard Henry say. Of course he met Henry a few days ago in the lavatory. What was funny was, the group seemed to claim that as a hiding spot. But only the seven members of the B.O.O.M group knew. Truly, they were the Bosses of Organized Mischief. And their prank tonight, was to be the best, proving their excellence.
"We ready Cody?" Scarlet said, catching Cody's attention.
"If you call me rearing up as if I was all ready to go, then totally! Also, hey Henry!"
Cody ignored the general concept of being quiet in the library, as he decided to go ahead and sing HIS song. The group didn't have a part in it. But he sang a song his grandmother used to sing to him. It was quite motivating, and he stomped his feet twice and then clapped his hands once, repeating the rhythm.
The boy snickered, why would it matter if everyone stared at him. He wasn't fond of books, but yet, he had to admit that he would geek out. But only over roleplaying and comics. And well, maybe, if he wanted to admit it, he was a collector of dolls, not Action Figure dolls, but of china. He thought they looked really pretty, and so he would collect them. Unfortunatly, the only one that would know would be Page, and his family. [/font]"We will, we will rock you, yeah, yeah, come on
We will, we will rock you, alright, louder!
We will, we will rock you, one more time
We will, we will rock you"

Nicky let out a sigh of relief when she saw her friends coming into the library one by one. She wasn't sure if everyone would be brave enough to actually show up and pull off what they had planned. She never doubted Addie, of course, and she had confidence in Henry's courage, he had already broken the rules with her, after all, when they snuck out to celebrate her birthday. However, she didn't know Cody, Juniper or Scarlet all that well, so even though she trusted them one hundred percent she didn't know how they would act.
"Hello Juniper and Cody, hi Henry, hi Addie, hello Scarlet!" - she greeted her friends one by one in an excited whisper. She had never been a part of such a big group at Hogwarts before, despite her extremely extraverted personality. Except for the Quidditch team, of course, but that felt different and was a long time ago. She sighed quietly, remembering Rafa, who was her first ever real friend at this school. They hadn't run into each other for so long. However, she brushed off the momentary sadness quickly, so no one would notice and smiled mischievously at her companions.
"I'm ready too! Let's rock this place!"
She watched Cody in awe as he came out from behind the shelves first and started singing. Even though she was just as reckless as any member in the group, she couldn't deny that it took guts to go first. She also thought the song he was singing was quite good even though they didn't originally intend to sing that one. Nicky felt her heart beating excitedly, just like that time with the fireworks, and she knew she couldn't stand still anymore. So she ran to join Cody, making a handstand in clear view of the Librarian's desk and started singing (sounding terribly off-key, even if she didn't quite realize it).

Soon after, Adeline, Henry, and Scarlet came. Juniper looked at Henry and Scarlet for a second before waving her hands up and down at them, raising an eyebrow. "ooooohhh... are you two dating???" She teased. Because, well, that was Juniper. She had no way of knowing Henry had eyes for another girl, or that they were just really good friends in a club that used to be a trio. A trio until a lovely beautiful stranger Juniper didn't know named Paige Grant left. Tragic.
She winked at the two before turning to Nicky. "I'm so so so so excited!" She said. She jumped on her toes. "I'll be doing cartwheels, too! I love love cartwheels!!" She said, clapping her hands silently.
She looked at Cody, impressed he went first. Juniper thought it would have to be her, no. He started with a song they weren't intending to sing, which was nice enough. Nicky joined in and did a handstand. They were loud, yes. But not loud enough.
Juniper knew then and there she was born for this. Her high vocal range (that was not beautiful or very pleasing) or her loud voice would come in hand one day. This was the day. She ran over to the two, and took a breath. "BELLS ON BOB-TAILS RING,
MAKING SPIRITS BRIGHT!
OH WHAT FUN IT IS TO RIDE AND SING
A SLEIGHING SONG TONIGHT, HEY!" She did a series of weird dances and cartwheels. Her dances involved waving her hands crazily and shaking her booty. She even spun around. She pointed to Henry and Scarlet. "To you!"

The final member arrived and naturally asked when they were going to start, Henry turned his attention toward Scarlet as he smiled softly and added toward Juniper, " is this a side performance for him then as he prepares for the frog choir?" The third year nodded toward her frog which was rather adorable but then was taken back by her question.
Glancing quickly at Scarlet before back at Juniper as he opened his mouth then closed it, the teen would allow Scarlet to speak first before confirming her words as he spoke" yeah, just friends," slightly eyeing Scarlet as he didn't know why Juniper who ask that or think it. The teen didn't think they looked like they were dating, just two friends perhaps close ones but dating... Henry wasn't sure where that came from and anyway he already had a girlfriend.
However the awkwardness would fade away when Nicky would say that she was ready to not expecting Cody to speak but good naturally replying" hey mate," before watching Cody sing a solo.... The third year glanced toward Scarlet as he smiled a little before getting into his place by Scarlet and Adeline as the chaos started.
Nicky did a handstand and Juniper did cartwheels besides her as both stated singing, Henry nodded at Scarlet to start as he pulled out his wand and aimed it toward the ground, whispering"Nebulus," a string of fog circled around the group enclosing their feet in the darkness giving them a air of mystery.
Nodding at his spell work, the teen slipped his wand back inside the pocket of his hoodie and waited for a pause before starting to sing with the group.
"Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh!"
The third year's voice was on key and sounded higher than most males, his voice is a high treble which is odd for males but also sounded rather beautiful. While some sang off key and other sang on key, it didn't matter much since the point of the prank that day is to have fun which is what they were doing.
Loki sat on his right shoulder and seemed to what in on this pranking action or the feline heard the others making noise and he wanted to do so as well. The ordnance feline sat up on his owner's right shoulder and started to loudly meow, stretching the meow out for as long as he could and doing it multiple times during thie song.
As he sung with the group, Henry wrapped his arms around Scarlet's shoulder and Adeline's shoulder as he swayed to the left and right almost as he smiled the song rang on.

[font=Century Gothic]Of course, Cody was gleaming. His brows burrowed. They were sweaty. Of course, that would happen as the boy would attempt certain acts. He looked over at the group, and whispered to them. "Bros, I just realized that my birthday is in a few days. This is honestly the best gift I've ever had. Thank you all for consenting to this."
He decided to attempt a move that hopefully no one has done before in the library. And it was rather simple. You couldn't call this destroying property... right? Cody rolled up an old Daily Prophet newspaper and used it as a muggle microphone. "A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride, and soon Miss Fanny Bright was seated by my side. The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lot. We got into a drifted bank, and then we got upsot!"
The boy smiled, as fog began to float around him. It made the group seem rather mysterious, and to be honest, the boy was honestly loving it. He loved the people who would hide behind something just to discover something that was potentially false. Was that going to happen?
"Henry. Shall we go to Scarlet, or to Adeline? I'm thinking Adeline."
"Adeline, to you! Have fun!" The boy continued to sing the song, but without voice. He suspected that it was called 'lip syncing.'
