Adventures in Pranking

Olivia had walked into the great hall a little deflated, she had just been wrongly accused of doing something that she didnt even know happend. She plopped down onto the Hufflepuff table greeted warmly by her friends lightening her mood. She grabbed a sandwich and a drink and began eating, as she talked amongst her fellow Hufflepuffs. People always seemed to cheer her up, and the Hufflepuffs were a genuinely nice bunch. As she got caught up with her friends and forgetting about what had just happened she also completely forgot that she was supposed to be meeting Flame. Sometimes Olivia could be in her own world and forget she had made plans with others, she was so used to doing as she pleases. Olivia finished off her lunch in a leisurely manner laughing and chatting away, she did miss times like these.

Olivia happened to look around and her eyes landed on Flame. Oh shoot, she mentally facepalmed before getting up and making her way over. It had completely slipped her mimd her day had been hectic, but boy was she excited to plan and exacute a prank. She approached Flame, "Sorry it took me so long," she said with a nervous chuckle. She managed to get a seat opposite her. "So have you got any ideas? cause I have loads," she asked excitedly, she couldn't wait to see what they would come up with together.

"Sorry it took me so long," Flame looked up as Olivia approached, her Potions scar tingling. She had been getting ready to leave but Olivia finally came over. Olivia sat down across from Flame. "So have you got any ideas? cause I have loads," Flame smiled at that. She could always count on Olivia if she ran out of ideas. “ I have a couple.” Flame said pulling out everything from her pockets and laying it out in front of them. “Inventory check.” she said “I’ve got 5 stink bombs, 2 packets of snaps, an ever bashing boomerang ( which technically isn’t supposed to be used in small spaces but oh well), A roll of duct tape, a bag of fake vomit, sticky notes and rope.”

Flame looked at Olivia. “A quite impressive load if I do say so myself.” she winked. “What do you have?” she asked her. “Also that ally out of context but I have been thinking of nicknames and is it okay if I call you Liv sometimes?” Flame didn’t care if she said yes or no it was up to Olivia if she wanted to. “ Also I would love to hear some of your Ideas. I was thinking we could prank the Slytherins!” Flame wondered what Ideas Olivia had.

Olivia looked at all the items that Flame had laid out on the table, she was not kidding around she really meant business. She just knew they were going to pull of a decent prank and hoped it wouldn't fail.

She thought about the nicknames, Flame had just mentioned, "Well Liv or Oli works fine and as a friend you have definitely earned the right to call me by them," Olivia answered with a smile. "And as for pranking the Slytherins thats a great idea," she agreed after giving it some thought. "They need to learn to loosen up a bit," she added, not too happy with her recent run in with some of them.

She rummaged through her bag and lay down what she had, a few dungbombs, itching powder, confetti, glitter that sticks to anything and everything, and a surprisingly decent amount of slime. She looked at it all quite proudly, "I have a pretty good idea on what to do with all this," she said smirking, she didn't even know she still had some of these items in her bag. She was normally quite organised but at this current moment in time there was a lot going on, with classes, homework, pranks, family stuff and getting to know new people. It was weird because she would always be able to juggle everything pretty well, she didn’t think much of it, sometimes life has a way of slowing you down.

"Well Liv or Oli works fine and as a friend you have definitely earned the right to call me by them,”. When Flame heard this she was so excited! Liv or Oli! She would Probably end up calling her both. Flame watched as Olivia layer out Slime materials? Oh! Sticks to everything glitter! That would be useful! She couldn’t wait! She wondered what Olivia was up to.

The materials would be useful for so many different things. "I have a pretty good idea on what to do with all this," Olivia said to Flame. Flame smiled. Of course Olivia already had a plan. Then Flame remembered the powdered hair dye she had used for a prank the other day! She took it out. She had bright orange and neon pink. This could be useful! She turned to Olivia.

“I have this powdered hair dye from one of my other pranks! All you need is some sort of contraption to drop it and as soon as it hits the hair it will make it turn the colour you put!” Flame smiled proudly thankful that she had remembered that she had that in her bag. “Also since I can call you a nickname you can call me me one to! It can be anything you want because no one has ever been able to come up with one for me because of my name. Flame had always called all her friends by nicknames but no one had ever been able to give her one . “Also what’s your Idea? I can show you how to use the hair dye but you sound like you already have a plan.” Flame always got into the Zone when she was coming up with a prank idea.

Powdered hair dye? she thought to herself that was definitely going to be used. "Scrap my idea I have a better one," Olivia said excitedly as she quickly thought her idea through before saying it out loud. She had to make sure she had covered all the bases, well at least all the bases she could think of. You see Olivia knew a prank always needed to be thought through even if it was just a quick walk play in her head. Olivia smiled at Flame, "Here's what I'm thinking," she began, "We mix the hair dye with the glitter, and forget using everything else we have here," she said, "We head to the dungeons, actually scarp that, we position ourself at the top of the staircases and whoever we see at the bottom will unfortunately be the victims," she suggested, "We just have to make sure they are a group of Slytherins," she added, "And those poor unfortunate Slytherins will have to deal with neon coloured glitter hair for the rest of the day," she said in a mocking sad voice, "So what do you think?" she asked with a grin.

The only problem Olivia could see was having to wake up early but she was sure Flame could manage that, especially since it was for a prank. "Feel free to make changes, or completely disregard it," she said, she knew that working with someone always required both parties to be on board, another tip she had learnt from her brother.

While she waited for Flame's response she thought about a nickname she could use for her. It was quite sad that no one had given her one and so she wanted to be the one to change that. She thought long and hard, it was true her name was a tricky one. Sparky? no that sounds like a dog, maybe Amber? nah don't be silly that's a completely different name, "What about Flare?" she asked, "As your nickname," she clarified.

"So what do you think?" Olivia asked. "Feel free to make changes, or completely disregard it," Flame Lived this prank! It was going to be hilarious ! And then to make it even better Olivia offered Flame a nickname! "What about Flare?" she asked Flame. "As your nickname," Flame smiled. This is why she and Olivia were friends. They helped each other with bigger and better ideas and worked together well. “A couple things.” Flame said.

“First of all I love your plan! Second of all I love the new nickname you gave me!” Flame smiled. “And thirdly” she said producing a larger vial she was going to use for potions later but this was more important. “What if we mix the hair sye and glitter in this and then,” she said producing a second vial of the same size. “We split the glitter hair dye, between these two vials and one person can stand at one part of the stairs and another person can stand a part of the stairs a little farther down! That way the second person can get anyone the first person missed!”

Flame really hoped that Olivia liked her idea. She took a look at the table and sweeper all her stuff back into her bag except for the vials and hair dye.

"Oh you're a genius," Olivia exclaimed excitedly, with two vials they could get more Slytherins. She knew she had found a good partner in crime. There was only one problem, "If we get caught we're dead," she said, knowing that if they got the seventh years they would stand no chance, and what was worse was if they got her brother she was finished. "Are you sure you still want to go through with this?" she asked making sure Flame had thought of the consequences if things went south.

Olivia really didn't care, she was one of those people who would deal with the consequences when they occurred, there was no reason to worry about what might happen. But she was aware not everyone was like this. While she waited for Flame's answer she began putting all her other items carefully back into her bag, she really needed to clean her bag out at some point. "I think we go for the neon pink, it might actually look cute although I doubt the Slytherins would think that way," she suggested chuckling. She thought about the older Slytherin's there were a few guys that would still be able to rock pink hair and there were also many girls that could turn it into a trend, but they would never see it that way. Sometimes you need to see bad circumstances in another light.

Sry Banner not working right now.


Flame smiled when Olivia said that she was a genius. She was happy she was seen that way. Then Olivia mentioned how if they were caught they would be in a lot of trouble. And asked if she still wanted to do it. Flame looked around for somewhere they could hide. There were stacks of boxes and a little a clove in the wall. Flame smiled as Olivia and herself started making there way up to the spot. Where they were there was a couple places to hide. Flame zeroed in on a picture.

“Bingo!” she told Olivia. Flame looked around to make sure no one was watching them and then pulled on a part of the frame. Behind the portrait there was a small space about 2 meterd high and 3 meters wide. It would be just enough to fit Flame and Olivia. Flame turned back towards Liv. “As soon as we set the
Pranking off run back and hide in here. I will make sure to leave it open. Also the best part about the powdered hair dye is that you can’t feel it when it hits your head so it will be a minute before they find out. Which will give us mare time to get ready.”
