You Got Pranked! Open!

I watched as COVID ran away leaving me with this guy by myself. I couldn’t believe she would do this to me! I mean come on I thought she was better but apparently she doesn’t care at all if I end up getting mauled to death by this thing. I turned back to look at the Thing that was laying on the ground and watched closely for any movement so I could fire off a spell. And There! A finger twitch. I pointed my wand and do the stunning spell again just to make sure he stayed that way. Then I dug around in my pockets until I found what I was looking for and pulled it out. 2 cookies! I leaned against the wall facing this guy with my wand pointed at his chest. I slowly started eating my cookie as I kept careful watch over our friend. Where was Corvus. I would yell at her a bit later but right now I had to focus on keeping us safe and watching this guy. I waited and fired off another stun spell just for good measure. I watched and waited as I saw Corvus run around the corner and start making her way towards me.

I ran back to Flame with a desperate and scared look in my blue eyes.

"There is no one there!"

I said with a shaky, scared voice.

"I-I don't know what happened! B-But we might be under some curse..."

I murmured quietly.

"It seems like everyone just disappeared... And this thing is still here..."

I said desperately, pointing at the skeleton. It looked terrifying. I was terrified. I always was hoping that I would be in peace when attending Hogwarts, but my life has become even more chaotic.

Suddenly, there were voices down the hallway... More skeletons and Zombies appeared... Some approached more quickly than the other. I took my wand and held it tightly in my hand. My hands were shaking a bit, but I tried to keep them steady.

I was scared, I knew we as first years weren't strong enough to defend a bunch of monsters, but he had to try. We had to survive somehow. At least Flame did, who had a family. What happened to me didn't matter. I was alone anyways. I didn't have anyone to stay alive for. But I wanted to protect Flame at all cost. I was already thinking about the strategy I would use to fight and the spells I would use

When Corvus told me there was no one else it the school I stayed calm. There was no use freaking out. I told Corvus calmly as she was hyperventilating. Then we heard voices. And more and more zombies came. I started shouting off spells left and right and then noticed something Every few seconds one of the zombies…glitched?

I looked around realization dawning on my face. I turned to Corvus. “The only one that can hurt us is the one behind us! Everything else is holograms!” I stepped forward and swiped my hand through the holograms and sure enough they disappeared. Then I turned to the body behind me. I looked over at Corvus and said “This is what you call a cruel prank! Not what I was doing before.”

I turned back to the guy in front of me and did 2 reversing spells. One for the stun spell and one for the transform thing. Slowly the guy in front of me morphed into a second year Slytherin. He jumped to his feet laughing and then ran and disappeared around the corner. I walked to the window and looked outside. It was dark. “The reason no one is around is because it is after curfew!” I told her.

I panted quietly as the zombies dissapeared.

"What the hell..."

I said quietly...

"This was just cruel, doing this to students, especially first years, students younger than him..."

I said quietly...

I took deep breaths, my body was shaking.

"He hurt me..."

I said quietly, I was clearly upset by this. I liked tactful pranks and jokes, but not this, never this...

"We should get after that little bastard..."

I murmured quietly in a cold tone.

"Or perhaps tell a professor. He won't get away with this!"

I murmured quietly, already forming a plan in my mind, like it was a twisted chess game.

"H-How did he even do this?"

I questioned quietly, but now I was getting curious. I sat down on the floor in exhaustion. I leaned my head against the wall, still panting quickly, but I slowly calmed down. My hands however were still shaking, I kept a firm hold on my wand. I hated being taken as a fool and this wasn't a funny joke anymore. Perhaps I took it too personally, but I still could feel the pain in my body.

"Though I must say, this performance of magic indeed is impressive."

I added quietly.

Flame looked at Corvus in shock when she said that his magic was impressive. “Oh no!” she told Corvus. “Don’t you dare! He bullied us and he is SO going down!” Flame felt around in her pockets for supplies.

“As you know, I love a good prank! But that,” Flame paused searching for the right words. “That was bullying.” Flame finished darkly. She sat down beside Corvus and unloaded her pockets.

She lauded all her supplies out and then started explaining what they did to Corvus. “This one is an ever bashing boomerang. You throw it and it, well bashes into people! Not supposed to be used in doors necaue chaos but no one ever listens to that!” Flame said smiling darkly.

“This one over heat is a packet of snaps! It is a muggle thing! Sort of like small fireworks if that makes sense! This one over here is a dung bomb! I think that one is self explanatory.” That Slytherin would pay for what he did.. Flame would make sure if it.

“This is a roll of duct tape! Always have one on you when pranking..! And this is the hair dye I used in you. Sorry about that by the way! So what do you wanna do?” Flame already had a million different ideas, but she wanted Corvus to chose something.

I looked at her impressed but sceptical.

"I don't think this is all necessary. We could get greater revenge if we simply tell a professor."

I murmured...

"And besides, I'm more of a strategic type..."

I murmured, however I didn't elaborate.

"My body still aches..."

I murmured quietly... My hands were slightly shaking.

"I might have reacted to the curse too intensely, or I'm simply to sensitive..."

I murmured, almost ashamed. Sensitive, one term I despised and physically hurt when I used it on myself. I wasn't sensitive, I couldn't be... I was strong, was I?

I looked at the ground... I didn't want to admit, but I perhaps needed help from a caretaker. But me? I would rather suffer in silence than admit that I was hurt. I always had to keep the strong and cold facade.

"I just want to find out what spells he used, and where he learned them.."

I said, trying to change the topic. I was always keen on learning new things. My curiosity was my strongest trait I possessed.

"Where did you buy all of these stuff?

I questioned and looked back to her supplies. It was a lot more than I could comprehend.

WC 209 @Corvus Blackwell

Flame frowned when Corvus said that they didn’t need all this stuff. Of course they did! And they could not tell the professors! They would have to admit they were out past curfew for that! “Of course all this stuff is nessacary! I always have supplies just in case! And no way are we telling the professors! We don’t know the students name and we have no proof! Also we would have to admit we were out past curfew!”

Flame felt sympathetic when Corvus said her body hurt. “Should we hed to the hospital wing in the morning? I can come with you and help explain what happened if someone asks. I make VERY believable stories when I need to!”

When Corvus said that she wanted to learn about the spells Flame side eyes her. “No you really don’t. If you do you will probably bacons some sort of dark wizard and I will feel guilty .”

But when Corvus asked where Flame got all the stuff Flame smiled. “Sadly I can’t say but I never go anywhere without good supplies! If you ever need anything I probably have it in one of my several stashes somewhere! Just ask and I shall deliver!” Flame joked, mock bowing.
