Rat Heist Pt. 2 - The Plunge Pv Lucian Finished

“LUCIAN! YOU ARE SO DEAD!”

Crud! She was right there! I took in mouthfuls of oxygen, throat burning in the cold air and chest raising quickly as my heart slowed. This was so a bad idea! Or was it? It certainly cured my boredom to see the blue haired girl chase after me! A smirk played on my lips and suddenly I didn’t care what the outcome was! I erupted in uncontrollable laughs as she ran closer. I carried on running. “You will be fine!” I said to the rat as it squeaked in my hands. “Honest! Just some fun my furry friend!” I told it in gasps. I needed to run more. I should add it to my Sunday ritual. “PISS OFF!” I yelled to her, letting out a surprised yell as I almost fell due to momentum. “YOU DIDNT SEE THAT!”

In the end I slowed down. “It’s over kid,” how dare she call me kid! I’m twelve (12), I’m not a kid! Baxter is a kid! Sadly, I realised that I was cornered. No matter what I did she was going to get me. “Give me back my rat,”

“Why the bloody hell d’you even have a stinkin’ rat? Why don’t you get something cool?” I asked with sass, side eyeing the the thing in my hand. “Psycho woman! Get a cat. Or a toad. Looks like you, ey?” I jibed, saying that she looked like a toad. I bit my lip and moved from foot to foot. I was a fairly quick runner… and talking had calmed me down and my throat was no longer dry. I looked at the rat trying to wriggle and held her tighter, the little blight chomped!

“AW YEH BUGGER!” I hissed. But this worked. “Fine. Have yeh bloody rat!” I went to hand the rat over, I got closer to @Monica Evans but then darted left.

Sadly, I was not quick enough.

She looked PISSED as she reached out and pushed me, her hands landing on my shoulders and my balance tipped. “Aaah!” I yelled as I fell backwards. Fear overtook me as the sensation of falling came over me and I grabbed onto the girl. If I’m falling then she is falling with me! I really don’t like falling. SPLASH. “YOU’RE SO DEAD WOMAN!” I screamed as soon as my head broke the surface of the late. I wiped water from my eyes and wiped my mouth. “WHAT IF I COULDN’T SWIM!” good job I was a Werewolf and not a Werecat.

In the commotion I had dropped Norv. “Damnit Norv!” I cursed. I could feel my clothes weighing me down and I knew I would look like a collider when I got back to land. I saw her near me and I smacked the water in her direction, the water landing straight in her road face. “YOU- YOU- YOU— AH!” I was drenched!

I glared at her, fists clenched. Oh I so want to dunk her! I brought my still bleeding finger to my mouth and tried to stop the bleeding. “If you’re stinking, flea bitten, manky rat gives me rabies then I will yeet her from the astronomy tower!” I threatened, sucking the blood. Bet I looked a state! Baby face, wet hair sat on my in a ruffled mess, sucking blood from the side of my finger. “AFTER I let my lizard bite it!”

The boy was attempting to mock her... asking why she had a rat... he was so caught up in his little 'taunt' Kiwi went and bite the boy. Monica couldn't help but let out a chuckle, "serves you right!" She shouted back, "Now give her here before anything else happens." Monica felt her wand pocket, it was there, not lost during the run, or left on the dinning room table. If need be, though she didn't want it to resort to this, she would just Flipendo this kid back in his place.

Lucian seemed to have had it with Kiwi, he slowly began to approach Monica, his finger still bleeding. She kept her eyes on the rat, and on Lucian's feet. If he made any sudden movements, she would be ready.

And of course he did!

He tried to dart right around her, but Monica was much quicker, able to grab him before he got too far. She was so enraged that this dumb 'prank' had gone this far, what was he even trying to accomplish? What on earth did she ever do to him to spark such an action to be taken? She didn't know, and frankly, didn't care. With all of her might she threw back the first year, with more force than she thought she had. The world slowed to a halt, and while Monica was letting go, ready to bask in the boy getting drenched in the icy depths of the lake, she felt a pulling force. He had latched onto her, and she was also falling into the water!

'SPLASH'

They both went down. Robes absorbing Lake water, becoming like an anchor, dragging Monica further into the water. She tried to find her footing, but was having great issues. It seemed that Lucian was also having issues. Finally Monica found the sand's edge, and was able to get herself on her feet. Her breath fogged up the air, as her body was overcome with tremors. She was freezing! Slowly she dragged herself back to shore, Kiwi, who was able to swim back herself, Clambered up Monica's robe, licking the Slytherin's cheek, trying to clean her owner. Lucian was spouting off some empty threat, but at this point Monica was too cold to really care. "Oh shut up you twat!" Monica cursed at the boy, in a very broken sentence, her shivers were halting her speech. "We....have to get....inside... and dry off q--quick." If there was one thing Monica knew quite well, it was how dangerous it was to be in wet clothes in the middle of winter. Now seeing how dangerous it was that she threw him in the lake in the first place, but she would make amends later.... now they both had to dry off and get warm!

She went off to gather some dried sticks, piling them up in a small mound, it wasn't much but it would have to do... "Incendio" Monica created a small fired by the lake... knowing it wasn't allowed, but she couldn't risk them freezing to death, she would take whatever consequences came.... later.

"Here," She pulled the boy close to the fire, "Warm yourself up enough, and get to your dorm room to change." Her prefect voice turned on, now a little embarrassed she had let her emotions get the better of her.... again. She really had to work on that if she was going to be allowed to continue as a prefect.

“Oh shut up you twat!” she snapped at me. Dayum someones mad.

“Wow! Someone’s on- on their period!” I mocked, paddling to so I can get up. It was harder to lift myself up because my clothes were weighing me down but eventually I lifted myself to the bank and and quickly shrugged my top off so I could rinse it out. I was very cold and shivered even more as I got as much water out as I could and put it back on again.

“We....have to get....inside... and dry off q--quick,” she shivered and honestly I felt the same. My legs were going numb and my teeth were chatting, my feet uncomfortable in my wet socks.

“Well whose b-bloody fault is that!” I asked with an eye roll. I watched her find sticks and put them in a pile, using her wand to cast a spell and light it on fire. Is she even allowed to do that? Hmm?

“Here,” she pulled me closer and I honest to god felt like crying a little. I was so cold. It’s December… it’s been snowing…. and i’ve been pushed into an ice cold lake! A big shudder came from my body and huddled closer to Monica. “ Warm yourself up enough, and get to your dorm room to change,” I shivered, her voice didn’t sound the same. She had a more tough tone to it. Prefect mode.

“I’m… sorr-ry for nnnicking Norv,” I mumbled, holding my hands out by the fire. “But it was pretty shh-hitty of you to push… me in the lake. It’s bloody c- cold,” my teeth chattered and I looked at Norv/Kiwi.

“Can’t believe you b- bit me!” I sneered at the animal, I didn’t hold any resentment to her. I knew I shouldn’t have squeezed her. I rested my head on @Monica Evans’ shoulder and closed my eyes. “Shall we go in- inside soon? And I gotta get my jumper,” I told her.

The two of them stood together, teeth chattering, limbs shaking, fog pouring out of their mouths as they breathed. The fire, though small offered a small amount of heat. Monica started rubbing the boys back, trying to warm him up faster. She couldn't help but let herself laugh at his first shaky apology with the accusation for pushing him in the lake... "I--It was...was an acc-edent." Her words were broken, the cold stealing away her ability to speak fully.

She did feel bad that it ended up this way, she could really get into trouble, clearly the Prefect had some self control to work on when it came to her emotions and actions tied with them. As much as this kid might have deserved to be thrown in the lake, perhaps a frozen lake was too far.

"For w---what it's worth-th...I--I'm s-s-sorry...t-t-t-oo." The wind picked up, freezing Monica's soaked robe... this wasn't enough, they had to get inside fast... but what if they were seen? What could Monica say to explain why the two of them were drenched and shivering?

Thinking for a moment, the only conclusion she came to was that she would have to own up to her actions. With a sigh she fought to say, "Lets--lets make...get ins-s-s-ide." She pulled at Lucian's arm, kicking snow on the fire to put it out, her fingers too cold to hold her wand. "And k-k-kiwi was-s-s, just defending h--hers-s-self." She added.

She pulled him through the snow and closer to the castle, she could feel her hair freezing as they walked. She started to make a mental plan of where the closest fireplace was once they got inside... Despite her best efforts, the only place she could think to go would be the Slytherin common room, most students would still be in the great hall, so perhaps the two could get to the common room, dry off, and be warm before anyone else saw them or asked questions?

Coming into the glow of the castle, they entered the main doors, already having the wind blocked by the walls, already made Monica feel much warmer. She looked back to see how Lucian was doing, and kept leading him to the Common room. "Nearly Th-there... We can w-warm up by the f-fff-fire."

Reducio

I sighed, “I- it’s okay,” I mumbled. Being thrown in the lake would be cool if it was warm; a frozen lake not so much. “I reserve the r- right to throw you in at a later- later date. When it’s warmer,” I said with a smirk.

Maybe even flipendo her in to make up for the fact it won’t be cold.

“Naw, is okay,” I nudged her with my shoulder, letting out a long breath, watching it in front of me. I let out a little shiver as the wind blew up again, yeah it would be awhile before I even think about swimming, never mind about the great lake again!

Monica suggested going inside and I nodded in agreement, letting her pull me up via my arm. I watched as she put the fire out and then defend her rat. “Yeah, I know that. I shouldn’t have wafted it- her around,” she helped us walk across back to the castle, I wonder what we will do now; if someone sees us then we look very incriminating. Both sogged. But wait, wouldn’t everyone be in the great hall still? We didn’t take that long outside, did we? I suppose we could say that I fell in and Monica dove in to save me?

“Nearly th-there... We can w-warm up by the f-fff-fire."

“Huh- oh, yeah. In the common room?” I questioned, that would be best. We could also shimmy into some new clothes, it was getting really uncomfortable in these wet clothes and I felt myself fidgeting all the time now that I thought about it. “Merlin, we better- ahh,” we walked into the doors and the switch was almost overwhelming from frigid to warm. “That’s nice. C- come on. Before someone sees us,” I grabbed her wrist and started running down the halls.
