These have been placed there for your convenience and if you would like to fetch them as soon as possible, we would be thrilled! Your Ever So Faithful, Intelligent and Beautiful Duo

MADE BY MAD

Lune looked down at the now creased piece of parchment yet another time. It had arrived by unknown owl with breakfast and she was unfortunately bored enough to go see just what it was all about. She honestly doubted the sheer number was accurate, but why should it be? Hogwarts was just filled with silly, mindless children doing silly, mindless things. At the moment, it seemed to Lune that the oh so mysterious parchment wasn't going to amount to anything much. Still, checking out the statue would kill some time and would be an excuse for further putting off that Alchemy paper she was supposed to be writing.

As she reached the fifth floor, Lune kept alert for other students. There was no doubt in her mind that this was orchestrated by a couple of her fellow students. The real questions were who, why, and what. Who were they? Why did they pick her? And what was their goal? She also wondered why they had so many blood lollypops. The only other people she knew of who actually liked them besides herself were vampires. That made it appear much more intentional as to their choice of recipient.

Rounding another corner, Lune finally came across Boris's statue to find that she wasn't alone. She frowned slightly, a crease forming between her brows. Was this the chicken-headed duo who sent the note? They were familiar but only just barely. Lune didn't even know their names.

[LILY LUNA POTTER]

Lily was bored, no, beyond bored. She'd finished her Potions homework, (2 feet on the properties of armadillo bile), she'd practiced the spells assigned to her in Transfiguration, finished the drawing of a flobberworm for Care of Magical Creatures, and finished off the essay for Charms, (child's play). Lily had nothing to do, absolutely nothing. Which of course lead to some particularly evil scheming. After much thought and consideration of the products at hand, who to target and what exactly was going to happen, it was decided. Some poor old sot was going to get bamboozled with a bunch of lollies and sandwich type things. It was perfect! She'd just gotten back from Hogsmeade with a bunch of random sweets, (she'd decided to pick the chocolate and blood lollies to geminio), and the house elves would be able to whip up a bunch of those felafel things she'd had at Aunty Fleur's and Uncle Bill's!

She scrawled a quick note to Jamie, telling her what was going on and when and where to meet her. Hopefully her friend wouldn't question the strange note, but you never knew with other people. Lily then threw on a pair of socks and bolted from the dormitory and then the Common Room. She then made her way to the kitchens, explaining to the house elves exactly what she needed, (they knew her thanks to many midnight snack stops), and where to leave them once they were finished before half sliding half running to the Owlery. Lily then attached the pre written letter to one of the school owls.

"Fly around for a bit, visit the different Common Rooms, just fly around to random places! Give this to the third person you meet, please." She asked, stroking the owl and giving it a treat before bringing it to the window. Once that task was taken care of, she then made her way to Boris' statue. When she arrived she was happy to see that the house elves had already transported the 2073 felafels to the statue. Lily pulled a sheet from behind the statue, (she'd placed one behind each one she used for emergencies), and levitated it up to the ceiling, anchoring it to the wall so that there was an overhanging. She then cast a disillusion charm on the blanket before levitating all the felafels and lollipops up into the sheet. Lily then went to sit behind the statue, waiting for Jamie or her victim to show up.

[JAMIE SEONA WOOD]

Hogwarts in the company of Lily Potter was some things, but never boring. Not a day passed without her brilliant and never resting mind thinking up one scheme or the other. And Jamie, as Lily’s best friend was most of the time in the midst of it, sometimes rather unintendedly, but it was not like she would be complaining. Sometimes the schemes were a little wild, and Jamie felt like she had to slow Lily down for her own good – however succesfully – but even though today’s prank sounded particularly crazy, Jamie had no qualms with it. She even giggled inwardly in hindsight when thinking about the note Lily had told her about. She especially liked the phrasing of the beginning: ‘Intelligent and beautiful duo’ – boasting beyond belief and therefore even funnier. Jamie had no idea if she was either intelligent or beautiful, but Lily was both – just that she used her brain power more for pranks than for school work, just like Jamie had heard her uncles had done when they had frequented Hogwarts. Lily might be a Potter by name, but her mother was the sister of the famous Weasley twins, and that showed often.

Jamie had no exact idea how exactly this was going to work and even more importantly which poor soul in Hogwarts this prank would hit, but there was no way in the world she’d miss out on it and be told by Lily for the rest of her life what she had missed. Clearly, sometimes Lily was a really bad influence. Cautiously looking over her shoulders a couple of times, Jamie made her way up towards the statue of Boris the Bewildered, wondering if the victim was about to show up soon. Heaven prevent she would be getting in the midst of it! As far as she knew, Lily would at least need a little help from Jamie, concerning her nonverbal magic skills. Well, if that was the case, of course Jamie would provide.

Upon reaching her destination, Jamie couldn’t detect anything out of the ordinary, which was a good thing. Before the prank could come down on herself however, she gave a low whistling signal, one she sometimes used to announce her presence when the two girls needed to be inconspicious. Because she didn’t want to waste valuable time on explaining herself with hand signs, she had written a simple question out on a piece of parchment, which she now took out of her pocket and with one last cursory glance over her shoulder crouched low, and ducked behind the statue, where she found her friend waiting. Giving her a cheeky grin and a pat on the shoulders, she then handed her the little scrap of parchment which said:
”Alright, so… how is this going to work, and what should be my part in it?” More than that even, she was curious to find out who the prank would hit, but that was a question Lily couldn’t answer her. They just had to wait and see, good thing Jamie had learned patience.
