The Dare Open

5th of February, 2025 | Date
Dinnertime

Oogie was somewhat bored as she poked her fork around the plate, sort of gathering and redistributing a bunch of peas that had been left on her plate. That was up until she began to poke one pea after the other onto the same teeth of the fork to kind of stack them one ontop of the other because it was sort of just that any activity was better than just doing nothing. She was just sort of waiting for something to happen, anything to happen really. She had just no idea what to really expect from the dinner and none of the people she somewhat got along with were around so far, so she was just sort of stuck in boredom.

Maybe she could do something that would make things more entertaining? She sort of perked up at the thought and began to look around, almost wondering what she could do as the cogs began to churn within her brain as she made some kind of plan or looked for inspiration. The hall itself was still sort of empty. But that was alright, right?

She grabbed for one of the bread rolls on the table and began to rip it apart with her bare hands, into two halves, rather than using the knife like a normal person might have done. Muttering about the difficulty as the bread fought back against the unusual way of being torn apart. Oogie then began to layer all sort of things onto the bread roll, from jam, to peas. She was getting quite creative with it too and eventually stepped back and gave a big nod at her masterpiece.

It started with the bottom layer, some jam then peas sprinkled on top, bacon layered over it and then a crushed up chocolate frog she had found in her pockets amongst some sour candy. Some salad leaves and gravy with a dollop of pudding and by the end of it she topped it with the other half of the bread roll and sprinkled a bunch of black pepper on it. "Perfect," she agreed with herself. But with a second thought she stuck a pepper imp in there, after all who did not like a bit of fire? "This will dae", she looked at her creation with pride and began to take a look around.

She cupped her hands around her mouth to amplify the volume of her voice and loudly spoke, "Whoever dares eat this fully, A will pay 2 galleons," which was, as she had been told, quite a bunch of money and something she had saved up from being a prefect and a writer for that headliner thing. She actually quite enjoyed the tasks those involved, she got to gossip, write about sports and get away with stuff a usual student would probably not get away with. Immediately she thought of being in Hogsmeade and encountering Koko. She was sure that Koko would have loved to give Oogie detention for being there if it was not for the fact that Oogie had actually been allowed there due to her position as a prefect.

Not that not being a prefect would have stopped her from exploring that town, but it made her feel quite self satisfied that she could break curfew rules and go to areas she technically should not be allowed to go to and could get away with it unscathed. She definitely did abuse that right a bunch and no one would be the wiser because who could really tell if she was not actually just patrolling an area or being a responsible and dutiful prefect? Sure they could assume based on her demeanor but could they be sure? Oogie was quite convinced being a prefect, in a way, made her invincible.

Even if she started fights with others and they fought with her, or rather if they fought back, then she could simply tell them off and give them detention because it was now against the rules to show her disrespect. Well sadly that did not always apply because she could not give a professor detention and it was quite difficult to justify another prefect getting detention but that was alright, Oonagh was sure she would be able to give quite enough detentions soon enough. Sadly she did not have enough time to do so yet because she had been too pre-occupied just exploring areas.

She was hoping that someone would take her up on the offer.
