Prank or Hex?

"Now remember to be careful, don't get in trouble, don't get caught," dad said as he and Cissy (I couldn't bring myself to call her Mum) lead us to the platform. "We won't," I assured him. "I know it's not like Beauxbatons, but I'm sure you're excited to get back to Slytherin," Cissy said stroking my hair.
I did my third year at Beauxbatons instead of Hogwarts because I was selected for an exchange program. It was me and three other people (one from each house). The girls went to Beauxbatons and boys to Durmstrang. While we were gone two students from both schools attended Hogwarts.
Draco left after one of his friends and it was just me, Cissy, and Dad. "Look at me," he said. I looked straight in his eyes. "I'll see you in October alright," I nodded, "have a good term," he told me.
I hugged him and then I hugged Cissy before running to find Marcus and Blair on the train. I held my cat,Lily (named after my mum), in my arms as I climbed onto the train and looked for my best friend and my boyfriend.
"She's back!" I heard as I walked past a certain compartment. Lily jumped out of my arms and into my boyfriend's lap. "Blair!" I exclaimed. "Third year was so horrible without you, I had no one," Blair said. "Oi! You had me you git!" Marcus said slapping her arm.
"He was moping into his racing broom the whole time you were gone," Blair smirked. "Only because I missed my favorite chaser," he said giving me a kiss on the cheek. I sat with them and and we talked about what happened while I was gone.

"Cia get up!" I rolled my eyes to find Draco poking my side. "What?" I asked. "Harry Potter missed the train!" He exclaimed. I shared a look with Blair and we looked at Marcus who was glaring at my brother.
"That's not even the best part!" Draco exclaimed. "There's more?!" Marcus asked incredulously. "They're flying behind it in a muggle car," Blaise said. "Ohhh this is great!" Marcus said kissing me onto his lap. "I'll believe it when I see it," I said. "Let's see it then," Draco said dragging me out of the compartment and to the back of the train.
"Look Cia, it's the car!" Draco exclaimed. "Oh isn't it great, he's definitely going to get expelled now!" Draco tugged on my shirt excitedly. "It's definitely something," I agreed.
"What's the matter Granger, sad that you're boyfriend's gotten himself expelled?" Draco asked. "Shut up Malfoy, or you'll be expelled,"a Weasley twin said. "Make me, Weasel," Draco spat. The Weasley boy shoved him into the window and that's when I made myself known.
"Oi Weasel!" I shout pushing him off my brother. He glared at me while I glared right back. "You better keep your hands off my brother Weasel," I growled. "Or what?" No one messes with Draco besides me.
"Or I'll hex you to bits," I glared, "Now, do you need me to continue or can you keep your claws to yourself?" I asked. He kept quiet. "That's what I thought," I huffed as I pushed him into the wall and walked towards the door.
Of course I didn't leave before saying, "Eat slugs Weasel." To my absolute delight all three Weasleys started spitting out slugs.
It came as a shock to many people, but I absolutely excelled at wandless magic. It's why so many people feared me, I could hurt you in many ways and I didn't even need my wand to do it.
"Cmon Cia, we should be getting to Hogwarts soon," Blair said. I nodded leaving with my friends stepping over the slugs that the Weasleys were still burping out.

"Lucia!" I look up to find my head of house. "Professor Snape?" I asked. "The headmaster wishes to see you," He said. "Did he say why?" I asked. "He said it was important,"Snape said. "What aren't you telling me?" I asked. He sighed, "He wants to introduce you to Harry," he said.
I shook my head and sat right back down on the couch. "No thamks," I said. "What, you don't want to meet him?" Severus asked. "No I don't, and you know why," I said. I got up from the couch and went my dorm.
"But why not meet him?" Blair asked. "I don't want to," I said levitating a quill up and down. "I'm sure he'd like to meet you," she said. I shook my head. I wanted absolutely no part in Dumbledore's schemes. My half brother was nothing but trouble, and the last thing I needed was more trouble.
"Let's just do this," Blair said changing the subject and holding out some prank candies. "Let's get Marcus and Osborn," I agreed. We ran to their dorm and went into the Slytherin common room to play a game we made up.
"Okay prank or hex?" Osborn asked. "Hex," I said. "Wingardium Leviosa," Osborn said levitating me. "Okay Blair, prank or hex?" I asked. "Hex," she said. "Bam," I said making her hair fly around everywhere. "Marcus?" Blair asked. "Uhh...," "Prank! Prank! Prank!" We chanted. "Prank," he agreed.
He took one of the candies and placed it in his mouth causing his face to turn purple. "How do I look?" He asked. "Like a grape with hair," Blair answered. "Am I a hot grape?" He asked me. "You are a very hot grape," I answered. "Whipped," Osborn whispered. "Shut up, you're just mad that you're not a hot grape," Marcus said.
"My boyfriend is a grape," I whispered to Blair. "Well mine is nonexistent," she said. "I wanted to set you up with Montague," I said. She blanched, "I would never."
"Hey girls, save the girl gossip for later," Marcus said. I threw a pillow at him which he threw right back at me. "Prank or hex Osborn?" I asked. "Hey it's my turn," Marcus said. "Not anymore," I said. "Your lucky you're levitating," he said. "Come catch me," I said. "Bet," he said levitating himself. "Aqualirius!" I shout spraying water out my wand. "Oi I can do that too!" He said spraying me.

"Ah!" I screamed as we both fell when the charm wore off. "Flufficus!" I called conjuring a huge pillow so we didn't hit the floor.
"You have paint all over your hair," Marcus said. "You're soaked," I said pushed him off me. "You're perfectly dry," he said. "Yeah so get off me," I said. "Now I think it's only right that I get you wet," Marcus said. Soon enough we were snogging on a oversized pillow.
"What did I walk into?" Our heads snapped to my brother looking scarred for life. "Oh shit," I said. "What bloody time is it?" Marcus asked. "7:30" Draco said. "Fuck," I drawled out. "What?" Marcus asked. "Breakfast starts in less than an hour!" I shouted. "Shit!" Marcus yelled. We both got up and ran to our dorms to shower and get dressed.
"Hello! Still scarred for life!" Draco yelled. "Piss off!" I yelled before hopping in the shower. It took an hour to wash all the stuff out my hair and at least 30 minutes for everything else. When I was done with everything I met Marcus back in the common room and we walked out hand in hand.

As soon as we walked into the great hall people went wild. "I didn't know it would spread that fast," I whispered to Marcus as he snaked his arm around me. "Get it Flint!" Osborn yelled. "Yasss Cia!" A girl named Hayla Carrow cheered.
People wolf whistled and clapped as we passed them. As soon as we got to the Slytherin table Blair stood up.
"Did you guys do it?" She asked. I laughed, "Wha- no!" I blushed so much I swear my cheeks were red. "Is he a really hot grape Cia?" Osborn asked. "One more word and we'll see if how hot you look as a grape," I threatened. "Feisty," He said. Marcus glared at him. "Back off Cyrus," he said. I took his hand and sat down next to Blair, forcing him to sit next to me.
"Can I be next?" Montague asked. "Fuck off Montague," I said. "Ladies and gentlemen, our favorite chaser is back everyone!" Montague announced. I shoved him and grabbed a piece of toast.
