The rest of the night they worned whom was on the list about not going their without a sheild on their feet but still left a lot out of the loop. When the trio made their way to the Great Hall, they saw many students stuck in various spots throughout the entrence and the hall. Harry then choked violently when he saw Evangeline enter the Great Hall on Monday morning, coughing and spluttering as he tried to regain control of his breathing and eventually having the air clearing spell shot at him by an amused Daphne Greengrass.

"What in Cirecie- dear sweet mother of Circe!"

Harry had forcefully turned Draco's and Theo's head to show them exactly what had caused his reaction and the rest of the first years followed his line of sight. To put it mildly: Evangeline Potter looked awful. Her long auburn hair was a livid green, matted together in greasy clumps. Her skin had a sickly yellow tinge, appearing cracked in some placed, though her palms were a bright purple. Whether it was nerves or sheer embarrassment, Evangeline had paused in the entrance of the Great Hall, and, at the worst possible time for her, when the Hall burst in to loud laughter, the glue kicked in and she found herself unable to move over to the Gryffindor table. Harry and Theo was in pain as they tried to control his laughter, and Draco was pink in an effort not to laugh, but it was just too much. They rose, moving from the hall as fast as they could without breaking decorum, and as soon as they were clear they burst out laughing, collapsing against the nearest wall and laughing until tears streamed down their cheeks.

"Oh Merlin," Draco gasped, "That was the funniest thing I have ever seen in my entire life."

"On Circes Magic I didn't know it would come out like that," Theo laughed.

Harry laughed, and then his eyes widened. "It's set to develop as the week goes on."

Latter that same day after so many laughs Harry was treated to watching the Slytherin team run through their training practice before he was allowed on a broom and then Flint was all over him. "Potter let me see your quickest lap." Flint barked.

Harry raised his eyebrow but kicked off, flattening himself to his broom and shooting off. He didn't bother to slow up much on the corners, using his weight to control the sharpness over his movements.

"Not bad, Potter. Let's see how you fly while trying to catch things." Flint pulled out a bag of ordinary gold balls and started launching them in to the air; Harry took off. Flint threw the balls in every direction and Harry pulled off some spectacular stunts, some of which he had never done before but he didn't miss one. When he touched down next to Flint, the Slytherin Captain was gaping at him. "Thank you Lady Magic" He whispered reverently. Flint eyed him with a somewhat manic glint in his eye and Harry was ever so slightly alarmed.

"Do I qualify?" He wondered. Flint nodded mutely.

"Play like that in every game and you'll be Captain soon enough." Flint told him, "Practice every Thursday and if you miss it you had better hope your reason changes the very foundation of magic or else." He stomped off, taking the Quidditch equipment with him and Harry was left wondering what he had gotten himself in to. He shrugged, shouldering his broom and making his way inside. He wanted to shower and then tell the pair all about it, after all, they had to keep themselves calm for tomorrow. He couldn't wait to see Evangeline.

All through the week Evangeline kept being transformed every time she walked through a classroom door, or entered the Great Hall, and many times the trio had to excuse themselves simply because it got better each time it happened. Evangeline had confronted them, blaming them and screaming about how they were going to pay for what they did. Her red headed side kick, the Weasel, as Draco had so tenderly named him, had tried to hex them. The trio had returned fire, hitting him with spell to give him spots and a colour staining charm, making him walk around with carrot orange skin and pulsing yellow spots all over his hands and face.

Many other teachers tried to give them detention, but they wormed out of it by stating they had air tight alibis and they couldn't have got in to the tower. When they tried to get them for jinxing Weasley, they produced several witnesses, not only from Slytherin, who swore it was self-defense.

Fred and George also caught up with them and congratulated them thoroughly on the genius idea, welcoming them to the pranking world. When Samhain rolled around, while Harry was disgruntled that he could not perform the ritual he usually would, he was feeling positively evil as he knew the tripwires and the strength of their prank on Evangeline were at their height.

What he didn't realize was how bad it would actually be as a result, so when Evangeline walked in, Harry gaped. "Lady Magic herself, what have we done?" He breathed grabbing Draco's arm, the blonde looked confused until he spotted her and his jaw dropped.

"What in the name of Merlin's mighty magic did we do?"

"Remember I said it would be at its strongest today...?" Harry trailed off. Evangeline looked like an ill stereotypical muggle witch. Her hair was black and lank, her skin was a pale green, her nose as lengthened and on her face she had two pulsing warts on her chin and nose. Her hands had gone crooked, her finger nails her brown and long and her teeth had turned yellow. "I am a horrific genius." Harry whispered unable to take his eyes off of Evangeline.

"Agreed," Said the first years, looking from Evangeline to Harry and shuddering. Harry spent the day staring at Evangeline and hardly paying attention to anything, Draco had to forcibly move him out of the way of solid objects. He had finally snapped out of it when he entered the Great Hall for the feast, he was blown away with the decorations. He may be very disappointed on not being about to perform the Samhain ritual, but the modern time definitely got the feasting right. They were happily enjoying the feast when Quirrell burst in screaming about a troll in the dungeons. Mass panic broke out and Dumbledore shot out purple fire crackers to silence the room.

"Prefects lead there house to their dormitories, teachers follow me to the dungeons."

"Don't we live in the dungeons?" Harry pointed out to the prefect, who was huddling the younger years together.

"We're going to the library, Professor Snape will know where to collect us from." She told him. Harry was about to fall in with the rest, when he spotted Evangeline sneaking out of the Hall with Weasley and he pulled Draco and Theo off to follow them. Draco saw what he had seen and nodded, slipping in to the shadows so they were not seen. They only just dived behind a statue when Professor Snape strode around the corner towards the third floor corridor.

"Where do you think he's going?" Draco muttered, not knowing the castle as well as Harry.

"That's the most direct route to the 3rd floor." Harry replied, "But I don't know why."

"Forbidden corridor, perhaps, but I don't know why." Theo suggested, "But never mind for now. Do you smell that?"

Harry took a breath through his nose and instantly regretted it, the stench of rotten innards filled his sense and Harry immediately cast an air freshening charm around them. They crept along, catching up with Potter and Weasley, watching as they locked the troll in the bathroom, only for a high pitched scream to sound out. Potter cracked the trolls head open with its own troll as Weasley pulled Granger out from under the sinks she was hiding in. Harry heard the sound of rushing footsteps so the three fell back, watching as Granger was dismissed and the Potter and Weasley left together.

The Snakes followed the pair, listening to their theories that Professor Snape was out to steal whatever was hidden on the third floor. The trio all shared a look. While they highly doubted that their Head of House was out to steal anything, the Gryffindors had stirred their interest in what was hidden there and why it would be stolen. They walked past the library and realized the Slytherins were still there, so they ducked inside and settled with the rest of the first years, who shot them questioning looks but didn't ask out loud where they had been. When Professor Snape came to collect them, Harry couldn't help but notice that he was limping, pointing it out to the other two and giving him a look.

"What do you think is hidden there?" Draco wondered, when they were finally alone in the dorms.

"I don't know, but I can guarantee we will find out." Harry said getting a shrug also from Theo as they settled for the night.
