Pranksters' Secret Society - The Beginning
Thoughts: ✕ | Dialogue: ✕
It was Saturday and Irina was bored at her dorm with nothing special to do. She was seated in her bed, legs crossed with her sketchbook and a pencil in her hands. She has been drafting some senseless risks and forms. The radio was on, some wizard's rock music was playing and she was now looking at the window getting lost in her thoughts.
This first week at Hogwarts has been so overwhelmed to her. Between the arrival and all classes and homework, new acquaintances, new place to call home, new people to call family...She was finally getting used to all of this. But she felt so tired at the end of the week that last night's sleep was a blessing. But at the moment she felt that she needed something to do...something funny...perhaps went down stairs and get some chatting with one of her new friends, perhaps getting to know someone new? It's quite a change how she felt among her snakes' teammates, since first day and now.
Her thoughts went to her first time at the Slytherin's Common Room. A smile made its way to her lips. That spooky little act of a ritual that the oldest students prepared to their "initiation". She remembered how she felt about it...what she wanted to do at that moment! She wanted to retaliate "in the same coin", but realized that she had a lot of disadvantages. Starting with no spells learned and clearly the numbers were not in her favor. What if...What if I was able to actually have some help? some wicked idea came to her mind, and immediately started to draw it on a piece of parchment. She made a poster for her new club to be..."Pranksters' Secret Society"...it sounded good actually!
After some preparations and deliberations she decided to wait for lunch time, when the corridors would be less crowded with students having their meal at the Great Hall. She walked silently, looking if no one was near so she could start fixing her posters at the corridor's walls. Some of the portraits looked at her with a reproachful stare and some scolding words, others just looked uninterested. She was right in the middle of this process when she heard small steps approaching, she tried to hide what she was doing, but was to late...a short blonde girl, with grey-blue eyes was looking at her, by the blue and copper colors on her robe she knew she was a Ravenclaw... Holly cow...now what? Irina thought trying to figure some worthy excuse hiding the remaining posters behind her back.
The infamous poster:

Pranksters' Secret Society - The Beginning
The corridors were seemingly empty when Taisia walked back from the library. She'd stayed in for the start of lunch and was now heading back to the common room before she went to the Great Hall. Although she didn't mind missing lunch. It had been over a month now and Taisia still didn't have many close friends. She wasn't the greatest at making them seeing as her sisters were her only friends so far (the Stroudefielde's preferred to keep things private in case of any magical accidents). Despite the loneliness, she hurried along- the smell wafting from the hall was tempting. Somewhere further up the corridor she could hear shoes tip tapping along. As she rounded a corner she saw a girl in green and silver robes. She didn't recognise the girl, but guessed she was a first year too. The Slytherin had tucked a pile of papers behind her back upon seeing Taisia, but there was already something hanging off the wall. Only one side of the poster was tacked on- evidence it was the poster belonging to the girl. Taisia glanced at it.
'Pranksters' Secret Society'
There's some smaller text but she can't see it from that far away. She takes a few more steps forward and looks at the girl.
"Hi, I'm Taisia!"

The Ravenclaw was getting closer and Irina knew she was going to read the poster, look at her and make the right connection. Think something! She thought, getting desperate not finding the right words to say. Lying now would be lame definitely not an option… what if I say that I was picking up the posters instead of fixing them? Would she believe me? No…obviously not! She took a deep breath then, trying to calm herself. She heard the girl then, she greeted her and said her name was Taisia. Taisia? It’s different I like her name! Irina swallowed then, making a small pray so this would go well, “Hi! Taisia, nice to meet you! I’m Irina…Irina Sousa!” She looked at the girl with a small smile and an apologetic expression in her face, “it’s obvious that I wasn’t expecting to get caught! I’m sorry to put you in this position, but…can you keep a secret?” She continued now blushing a little. This was embarrassing…she didn’t want to start pleading…her pride would get in the middle of her “negotiations” to not get an almost certain detention! Detention…on your first month here? She wanted to run away from there, or to camouflage into the wall and disappear…

As Taisia got closer to the girl she saw she was getting nervous. Still, she was polite and introduced herself- not something expected of a Slytherin. Irina was her name. She spoke again.
“It’s obvious that I wasn’t expecting to get caught! I’m sorry to put you in this position, but…can you keep a secret?” Finally close enough to glance over at the poster, Taisia did.
“So I'm guessing you're the Master of Mischief? Do you think I could join the club?”
Taisia looked at the girl expectantly.
“It’s obvious that I wasn’t expecting to get caught! I’m sorry to put you in this position, but…can you keep a secret?” Finally close enough to glance over at the poster, Taisia did.
It certainly sounded fun. And although she didn't know of anyone deserving 'mischievous revenge', Taisia was actually interested. She nodded, arguing with herself about asking to sign up. On one hand, it seemed fun, and maybe Taisia could make some new friends. On the other hand, what if they got into trouble? She had seen other prank clubs advertised around the school- surely this one would be fine?Not having enough fun at Hogwarts?
Is there someone deserving a little mischievous 'revenge'?
Come join us! Promise we'll keep it a secret!
Send an owl to the Master of Mischief, once is settled
you will receive the first meeting date, hour and location!
“So I'm guessing you're the Master of Mischief? Do you think I could join the club?”
Taisia looked at the girl expectantly.

Taisia kept walking towards her. Irina noticed that she didn't answered to her question about keeping her secret. She closed her hand tightly around the remaining posters that she was still trying to hide behind her back. Hopefully the girl haven't notice them yet...she wasn't sure that, that was possible though. Okay...that's it...your first detention! And good luck getting into the professors' good graces after that! She saw the Ravenclaw girl nod as she looked at the poster mounted on the wall. She was obviously reading it. Good Merlin...Irina was getting more anxious as time went on. The blonde-haired girl at last said something, and Irina finally let out the breath she haven't realized she was holding, when she heard Taisia's words, “So I'm guessing you're the Master of Mischief? Do you think I could join the club?”. Irina smirked then, complementing her expression with a mischievous glint in her eyes."Well, when you say it like that, "Master of Mischief" doesn't sounds so genius as I thought...but...well...yes, I guess it's me! And it's my pleasure to accept you has my first recruit! Perhaps co-leader? Since you're the first it would make sense to me!" She smiled happily at Taisia then waited to hear her response.

Co-leader. Awesome! Things with this Irina girl were getting off to a good start. She would be part of a club, somewhere where she could make new friends.
"Yes, I'd love to be a co-leader! I honestly can't wait to prank people! I never thought I'd be so involved."
It was true. Taisia was usually a quiet girl who didn't like to stand out. But now was her chance, and she had taken it. Maybe she and Irina could bond through their club and Taisia would have her first real friend (Althea and Odelia didn't count) in a long time. She gestured towards the ream of paper Irina seemed to be hiding behind her back.
"So, do you want me to help you put these up? Maybe you can tell me some more about the club. Do you have other members? Is there anyone you want to prank in particular? Do you have any ideas about pranks yet?

Irina was feeling extremely excited to have found someone who wanted to join her club! She was also equally relieved to escape a situation that could have ended up with her detention or worse...
"Yes, I'd love to be a co-leader! I honestly can't wait to prank people! I never thought I'd be so involved." She heard Taisia say, she seemed to be as enthusiastic as Irina was. Maybe I have finally found someone to be my "partner in crime? If so, this would start to be loads of fun from now on! "Well, we all have to put our hands onto work if we want to do this and to avoid being caught!" She said with a half smile. Taisia then gestures towards where Irina was still hiding the other pieces of parchment. She realized then, that that was no longer needed so she is now holding the posters in front of her getting her hands from her back.
"So, do you want me to help you put these up? Maybe you can tell me some more about the club. Do you have other members? Is there anyone you want to prank in particular? Do you have any ideas about pranks yet? Yes, she's definitely excited with this! Irina thought at hearing Taisia's questions. "Yes, thank you I appreciate your help!" She handed some posters to her new co-president. "We need to be careful to not be caught out of guard here!" She winked at her starting to walk to the next corridor mentioning Taisia to follow. "So, about the club...I just started it, so there's not much to tell! Basically the idea is to come up with a prank idea and how to make it possible and then choose someone to be our prank target. Until now, excluding you, just two more have sent owls to sign-up! Personally I would love to prank some of the older Slytherins...also some of my friends just for fun!" She looked at her new friend with a large smile, "ideas...well...I thought changing ink for jelly, quills to licorice ones...some exploding and harmless things... I don't know! All ideas are welcomed! Do you have any? Perhaps we should start our first meeting...any idea about when and where?"

Do you have any? Perhaps we should start our first meeting...any idea about when and where?"
Irina looked towards Taisia when she asked. They moved along to the next corridor and Taisia grabbed half the pile, helping Irina stick them up.
"First of all those are great ideas. I love the idea of switching ink for jelly one! Well, I'm not much of a prankster but maybe we could do something like making a fake Howler, of course some exploding things, like you said and maybe we could switch out the feathers in peoples pillows for somehting more uncomfortable? As for our location, I'm not sure. Somewhere secret obviously! I mean, if no one knows what meeting we are at, we could just hide in plain sight..."
She trailed off, thinking. A classroom maybe? They could always just pretend to be at a different club meeting.
"We could go in a classroom. Or the abandoned toilets?
She wasn't so sure about the abandoned toilets but they were there, people didn't go in there as part of their daily routine. They could potentially be really disgusting or really good!
"I don't know. Do you have any ideas? What do you think about the abandoned toilets?

"A fake Howler? That seems a great idea actually! Loved that one!" Irina admitted happily, grinning at Taisia, "I also liked the idea of changing the pillows...but that is going to be almost impossible since, at least at Slytherin's, we can't enter other's dorms that easily."
Finding a right place for their meeting, apparently, was as difficult for Tai as it has been for Irina. You don't want to be interrupted with unwanted "visitors", or to be heard by another's curious ears that could make all of us going into deep trouble. Irina had also thought about a classroom, they could pretend they were just a study group or something...the abandoned toilets idea never crossed her mind...maybe that's a good idea? It doesn't seemed to her to be much comfortable for a meeting sitting on the cold floor...it seemed they would be pranking themselves at planning to pranking others! "I don't think the abandoned toilets would be practical for a meeting. Although I understand that for "secretive" reasons it would be a wise choice! But I think I would prefer the classroom. It is also private and we can always pretend that we were just studying! What do you say? Next Wednesday after classes? We can sent an owl to the other members!" She glanced at her "crime partner" with a amusing smile.

"A fake Howler? That seems a great idea actually! Loved that one!" Irina said.
Taisia watched Irina think about her ideas of the meetings in the Abandoned toilets. In her head was a table of Pros and Cons. It wasn't looking good...
In the end they decided to host it in the classroom. If anything happened to them they could always pretend they were at some kind of study meeting. They would have to remember to bring some books and homework for themselves.
"Yes, Wednesday is perfect for me! Maybe you should send the owl yourself, I don't know how well people will take to a random stranger... Or maybe they'll think its a prank to start with and then you could owl saying it's from you!"
She and Irina grinned in unison. They could hear footsteps of the students proceeding up the stairs towards them. "Come one, we should probably go before someone realises it was us."

The pros just about ended there. But the cons continued on for a long time. It seemed like Irina had followed Taisia's train of thought. "I don't think the abandoned toilets would be practical for a meeting."
- Secretive - Dirty - Somewhere everyone can find and can access - No seating
