And there we have it folks, the games over! Ravenclaw's seeker caught the bottle! Jack tried to make light of the situation at hand. Ari, her captain for Quidditch, had just caught her potion bottle. "It's nothing, just something that someone gave me." Lies! Jack scolded herself. It wasn't like they couldn't figure it out. She wasn't the smoothest when it came to hiding anything. They were not supposed to be in the room. In essence the plan had been ruined, and Jack figured that if she brought them into it...they would eventually get the credit if the school did find out who planted the prank.
Life was just not fair. Jack just sunk in air, and floated. What could she do? If she did anything, didn't Ari have the right to kick her off the team? She was the closest thing the Ravenclaws had to a girl Prefect after all. "So, how come you guys don't like Atwood all that much?" Jack asked figuring that Ari's feelings were the same as Krissy's but not really knowing.

Krissy had floated over to Ari to investigate the bottle with her. Now that, that was interesting. Krissy didn't recognise the potion inside the bottle, but then again it was difficult to recognise potions just from sight, especially if they weren't a common potion. Krissy knew that becaue she always made potions and they always seemed to be different and the same at the same time. Krissy gave Ari a small grin. "Tip a drop onto my hand" she said to her "We'll see what it does" Krissy wasn't actually this stupid, but she knew if she acted as though she was going to put the potion onto herself the younger girl would probably freak if it was something semi dangerous to get on skin and stop them. And if she didn't, then it probably wasn't dangerous to get on skin.
Krissy looked at Jack at her question. To Krissy it was an odd question. Because afterall, how could you not hate Atwood. Really there wasn't much of a reason behind Krissy hating him. She just was going off past expierience about heads of houses. The last one sasquach had been a cow. Krissy had hated her. The one before her oooo he was just a grumpy old man. And the one before that. Ooooo Krissy still wanted her revenge on chookie. Chookie was probably the worst one yet. Although she had also been around the longest AND Krissy had had ample chance to pull soo many pranks on her. Hence the nickname of chookie. Krissy just have chosen not to trust heads of hosues because they had let her down inthe past. She wasn't about to trust Atwood. He was the strangest yet so she definately had no trust for him. He had also gone to no efforts to try and make her trust him. Which Krissy ofund suspiscious. The other heads of houses had made tremendous efforts to try and get her on their side. He hadn't. But that still, wasn't much of a reason.

Jack's eyes widened. What did she do? Krissy was going to be turned into cardboard if Jack didn't say anything, yet if she said something they would know that there was even more to the potion then it just being in her pocket. Oh, Merlin! Jack started getting a rhythem going that helped her more easily get across the room, however it was still jerky and unorganized enough to not let her move anywhere to fast. Finally, she had to speak up.
"Ah, you don't want to do that!" She exclaimed mostly because she was now upside down in the air, thanking merlin that she was not in uniform at the moment. Her baseball cap dropped to the floor. "Damn!" she cursed outloud. This was just not going well. "I mean, it's not good for human skin," or any other living thing that is. Jack said to herself trying to remain calm, but failing miserably.

"I actually like him..." Arianna replied, shrugging slightly. She glanced over to Krissy and smiled. Arianna actually thought the guy's classes were pretty cool. Krissy would probably think so, too, if she didn't have to deal with him as her Head of House. She would have explained her reason for being in Atwood's room, but things got a little interesting when Krissy suggested she place a drop on her hand.
Smiling at Jackie's reaction, Arianna floated over to the nearest desk. She wasn't about to place an unknown potion on her friend, but figured it would be safe to use it on something that wasn't alive.
"So..what does it do?" she asked, popping the cork on the bottle. Arianna carefully tilted it toward the desk underneath her until a small drop poured over the brim and onto the surface below. Hopefully they were about to find out.

Jack sighed a sigh of relief when Ari moved away from Krissy with the potion. All the young Raven needed was to be explaining why she took some of her messed up potion from potions class from the classroom, and why the Head Girl's hand was cardboard. Two things she really didn't want to explain, especially to Professor Raynor.
"Oh! Don't use too much of it! It's all I have," Jack pleaded as the older Raven moved to try it out on a desk. Jack was still twisting and turning in the air. She was amazingly, starting to get air sick and couldn't wait for the dust to wear off. She was not liking the flying without 'Old Trustee' between her legs.
"It turns whatever it touches to cardboard," Jack finally said exasperatedly. She was beat, in ever sense of the word.

"It was just a tiny drop," Arianna protested, eagerly watching as it splashed onto the desk below. She didn't see any drastic change, but the places where the potion had landed seemed a bit different from the rest. Arianna had to go down and check it out.
"Cardboard, huh?" she asked, looking over the bottle in her hand before corking it and flying down to the desk. From this close she could definitely tell a difference. It wasn't quite as smooth as the rest of the desk's surface and had a slightly bumpy look to it, like a zigzaggy layer was stuck just under the surface.
"Whoa. Where did you get this?" Arianna inquired further as she examined the desk more. She wasn't sure how useful something like Jackie's potion would be, but it was certainly interesting. They might be able to figure out something for it.

"It was an accident in class," she sated, somewhat pleading. It wasn't the last of it that she had, but it was just enough for Atwood's chair, and Jack had been planning the prank for the last week. All she really needed was for it not to go through, even if she didn't really get the credit for the stunt.
All Jack wanted was for her potion to be back in her hand. She didn't care if she had to wait another year to pull the prank, as long as the Capt'n didn't spill anymore of the black gooey potion out. "May I please have it back now?" Jack tried to work her charm and skill. To admire someone so much, to have them dangling something of yours in front of your face...it was almost like elementary school all over again. Except in elementary school it was for a completely different reason that no one at Hogwarts really knew about yet, well...she didn't tell anyone any ways.

"Cool," Arianna grinned. It seemed that they both had awesome potions that had come from mistakes. Jackie's turned stuff into cardboard and her own gave you the ability to fly. Arianna was still wondering how she could market her own potion. Maybe she could make it an exclusive thing. Get a patent, or whatever they called them in the wizarding world. Then she could set up a place where people could fly for the day. It would be totally awesome and she was sure lots of people would love to give it a go. It was a great feeling to be flying without the help of a broom or carpet or any other contraption. The others had to agree with her on that.
"You can only have it back if you promise to use it for trouble," Arianna replied, a wide grin on her face. She knew that was why the girl was in here, but she had to make sure something was going to come of it.

Jax stopped moving instantly. She didn't struggle, nor try to get the potion back from Ari. She just lay in mid-air, floating, as she tired to comprehend what her Capt'n had just said to her. Use it for trouble....no, like I didn't think of that. Jax almost scoffed out loud. It wasn't that she didn't already think about that, and it wasn't the fact that the older Raven was encouraging, more the fact that Jax knew the credit would no longer be hers anymore. Now she was being told to use the potion for no good. If that got out, it would be as though she just did it because some older girl told her to...not that the young girl actually had an original thought. Jax frowned.
"Well, I mean..." all she wanted to do now was go back to her room. It wasn't any fun anymore if she didn't have the credit.

"Isn't that what you came in here for?" Arianna asked, raising an eyebrow at the girl. She'd had that guilty expression on her face since she had arrived and Arianna had seen it from the start. Jackie couldn't keep Arianna from her entertainment. Even if she did like Atwood, that didn't mean Arianna didn't want to see him pranked and this one seemed like a fairly good one, too. "I mean, you can't back out now, just because we're here."
In fact, they could stash Arianna's cauldron and then hide themselves up in the rafters and wait for Atwood to come in for his surprise. That is if Jackie didn't back out...

"Sure I can!" Jax exclaimed. "I wanted the credit...woah!" Jax body started to lose altitude a bit when she started to give Ari a bit of attitude. But about half way during the drop, her body evened out again. "But actaully, if you help me get down, I'll tell ya what I was planning on doing with it." Her eyes had grown wide and her face had the expression of horror, plastered all over it. It was as it her world was going to come crashing down....literally. Was the dust wearing off? For the moment it wasn't, so she leveled herself out and looked at the two older girls.
"You said you didn't know how long this stuff lasted right?" Jax asked Ari almost afraid to rehear the answer.

Arianna grinned and was about to toss the potion to Jax when the younger girl suddenly dropped down a few feet. She wasn't going to risk breaking the bottle and getting it all over the place, or even worse..on Jax. So she held onto it and made her way carefully to the floor, where she hovered just a foot above.
"No," she shook her head in reply to the girl's question. "It was an accident, like your potion. I was trying to make something else and it just...went wrong and got all over the place." Arianna didn't seem to be losing any altitude yet. Of course, there could be other factors...like how much you got on you and maybe even how much you weighed. She'd have to test those out, too.

Krissy watched as the other two conversed. Their conversation was interesting, as was the potion. "How much of that stuff do you have?" Krissy questioned the young girl curiously. There was one potion Krissy had mastered and it was the one you used to find out the ingredients of another potion. Krissy hovered down next to Ari for a moment, dropping her altitude like the others. "Can I have a look?" Krissy asked Ari. She didn't plan on using it she just wanted to smell it. Alot of potions ingredients gave off a strong smell.
Krissy was definately going to try and make some more of this stuff. Oooooo they could turn Atwoods whole office into cardboard. "What were you trying to make when this occured?" Krissy asked Jax again curiously. "Do you have any to spare so I could work out whats in it and make some more?" Krissy smirked. Ooooo these three could have sooo much fun with this. If Jax said no Krissy's first move was to go to the library. Krissy didn't do to the library to learn, she went for her own personal endevours. Krissy never studied but she did look up random potion ingredients or potions.

"You wouldn't believe it. I was trying to make the sleeping potion and messed up big," Jax said to Krissy as her body decided to flip and she started floating upside down. It was bad enough that the potion had messed up, now in front of two older girls, she was dead in the air without any way of getting down....well, except falling and she wasn't planning on doing that any time soon. Jax gave up fighting. If the prank was going to get done, it was going to be done by the three of them. Shrugging to herself she figured that would probably be better any ways, at least then she couldn't get into trouble. She sighed and just float on her back looking at the two girls. "I was going to make his chair cardboard," she finally said.
Jax nodded when Krissy asked if she had more of the stuff. "Yea, I got a whole bottle of it...the only thing that doesn't seem to turn cardboard are the expensive potion bottles my dad bought me," which was a good thing, Jax figured, because a cardboard Capt'n and Head Girl just wouldn't look as good Jax thought to herself. "I'm not sure exactly how I messed up though, but all the ingrediants used were for the sleeping potion...like I said."
