"Alright my favourite twins! What do we got planned for this evening?" I asked as I threw myself, over the back of the couch, onto the sofa, Fabian and Gideon on the other couch facing me.
"We wanted to prank some Evilians with our favourite Marauder" Fabian told me.
I pretended to blush. "Aw! Shucks folks I'm speechless"
Gideon gasped "Have we managed to make Shiyloh Lawrence, Infamous Queen, Speechless?"
I scoffed "You wish"
“What kind of Idea's do you have for the Evilians?" Gideon asked
I laid my head back on the couch arm and Evilians for a moment. Then I hit me. I smirked evilly and whispered to Fabian and Gideon what we were going to do.
This was going to be good!
"I can't believe you convinced me to wear a skirt" I grumbled as I laced up my Doc Martens.
"Come on Shiy! You look great!" Lily protested.
"Whatever, come one Red" I said as a left out of the dorm.
When I saw Elliott at the bottom of the stairs.
"Shithead!" I cried out, running up and jumping on his back.
"Bloody Hell Flames. That's not funny"
"Wait. Red?" Lily inquired.
I nodded, this was getting somewhere.
"Shithead" She continues.
I nodded again, so close, she was so close.
"So does that mean that yo-"
"BREAKFAST!" I screamed and ran out the door.
I could hear Lily yell in frustration. Then looked back to see Elliott, Remus, Jasper and Lily tearing after me.
I laughed as I sprinted forwards, almost running into people, shouting apologies as I go. From what I could tell, the others weren't much better off.
But the next seen in front of me made me stop short. The others quickly caught up to me, and began to question why I had stopped, but then they looked up and went quiet.
There was two little first years, one boy and one girl, they looked to be related, the way their faces were similar gave that away.
Then there was Rita Gunner, Dolores Macduff, Penny Parkinson
Gunner had the girl upside down, her robes of the floor, her books as well, all spilled over and open like they had been dropped suddenly.
The boy was trying to get to his sister, who was obviously younger, but was held back by Parkinson, while Macduff threw potions at his feet, making him cry out and jump out of the way.
I couldn't explain the rage that I felt when I saw this.
What happened to the school that was supposed to be a place where everyone learned and worked together? I never got to experience my first year here at Beaverstone, but I knew that nothing like this would have happened.
This can't be what Beaverstone is for now. This can't be something that just happens.
"HEY!" I shouted at them. They froze and turned to me.
"Leave them alone!" I yelled, taking a step closer, breaking away from my friends. Lily reached out for my hand, to pull me back I suspected, but I kept going forwards. My hand reached to the waistband of my skirt, where I had hidden my wand.
"Or what?" Parkinson sneered
"Or you'll have to deal with me" I threatened.
"Don't make us laugh. You're just a half-blood. These Mundanes are going to get what they deserve!"
"Stupify!" I shouted, bringing my wand up as the spell flashed out, sending Parkinson back.
The boy got free and tried to run to his sister.
"Cantis!" I cried out, my attention now on Macduff who was reaching for her own wand.
"Protego! Confringo!
"Protego! Defindo!
The last curse hit Macduff and she was out.
I turned to Gunner, who looked fearfully at me.
"Let. Her. Down" I said slowly.
It was only now that I realized that we'd gained a crowd, and that my fellow Kings and Lily were cheering me on.
"No, I don't take orders from a Filthy Blood-Traitor!" Gunner sneered.
"Densaugeo!"
"Protego! Deprimo!"
"Protego! Diffindo!"
By now, the teachers were crowding around. I saw out of the corner of my eye that Daedalos was smiling at me and Professor Morgan was trying to stop the duel. It was surprising that she was the only one trying to stop the duel. In was clearly stated in school rules that duelling was only for classes. But it was also stated that you must never attack another student.
"Ducklifors!" I shot at Gunner, who laughed at me, a sound that quickly turned into a quacking noise as she slowly turned into a duck.
The girl, who was still suspended in the air, screamed and fell.
I threw my hand out and the gravity disappeared around the girl. I panted.
I walked over to her, slowly drifting her to the ground.
"Are you okay?" I asked her, approaching her slowly, trying to not startle her.
She didn't answer, she just stared fearfully at me.
I took out my wand, showing it to her, then handing it to her.
"I'm not here to hurt you" I told her softly.
She looks at me, then my wand, then back to me. She then drops my wand and hugs me.
The sudden contact shocked me, but after that shock and hugged her back.
"Alright! Show's over! off you trot!" Daedalos said in the background and everyone, including my friends, begrudgingly left.
The boy then came up and joined in the hug too. I then pulled back and watched as the girls brother fussed over her. I sort of reminded me of Remus and I. I took this moment to grab my wand and tuck it away again.
"Thank you" The girl said to me.
"It was my pleasure. What are your names?" I asked them kindly.
"I'm Holden. This is my sister Rowan" The boy Introduced
"My name is Shiyloh, it's nice to meet you guys. What house are you in? If you don't mind me asking."
"Lovelace" Holden responded.
"Voyage" Rowan told me.
"I'm Voyage too. Now listen, if you ever need any help, just let me know OK?" I smiled at them.
They nodded and I walked them into the Great Hall, where everything seemed to be normal.
Then, I saw Fabian and Gideon out of the corner of my eye. I nodded to them as I sat down with my brother and Jasper. Rowan and Holden sat in their own seats.
I pulled out my wand under the table and discreetly muttered a curse.
I looked to the Evilian table in front of us and saw Mercer choking on water.
Then Breona, Rosier, Crouch and Regulus started.
But they weren't just normal coughs.
Mercer screamed as his hands began to turn yellow and wet.
He croaked as the spell took full effect and he turned into a yellow toad.
I snickered while everyone else at the Voyage table laughed.
What's so funny? You're probably wondering.
At the same time this is happening, Regulus Black started spouting nonsense about how much he loved Voyagers and flowers.
Breona Dale and Rosier were confessing their undying love for Professor Webster, well now their fist fighting over who got to marry him.
Crouch was dancing some sort of jig on the Evilian table, while singing a folk song.
I think that even Daedalos was enjoying himself.
But that was until he beckoned me into his office, Uh-Oh.
