Painting the Walls

[diablo]

Reina was delirious with laughter. She could not believe what she was doing. It must be Sixth yearitis. She was truly losing it.

Reina had all the portraits in white drapes and a huge white runner on the floor. Reina had a few galleons of green paint on the floor.

"I now declare this floor in the name of Slytherin!"

Reina dipped her brush into the thick gooey green paint and started painting the walls. {<---name of thread}

[dan]

" If you use a bigger brush you'll cover more wall in less time. " Dan commented as he jumped down from one of the higher windowsills that had managed somehow to be untouched by Reina's green paint. He started at the green swirling in the paint pail and backed away. It was the greenest green he had ever seen. (( I'm a poet... lol )) It even brought a new meaning to the term " Green with envy " Allthough Reina didn't seem to be green with envy. She was green with........ well, green.

[Drew Thornton]

"STEP AWAY FROM THE PAINTBRUSH!" Drew called out, figuring he'd put his prefect badge to good use by busting someone. Maybe then Raynor would think twice before taking the thing away. Unfortunately, his plan didn't go as well as he had hoped.

"Oh, it's you..." he drawled, seeing Reina was the culprit. It was no fun busting another prefect. He lowered the finger-gun he had been aiming at her and went to see her handiwork.

"Okay, are you trying to get your house busted, or are you hoping whoever finds this will be stupid enough to think someone else was trying to frame you guys?" he asked.

[diablo]

Reina looked at Dan and giggled.

"Yup but look at what the paint does. Look it's gleaming and spreading all by itself. Neat huh?"

Reina froze when she heard the command. It wouldn't look good for a prefect to be caught painting the walls when it dawned on her who's voice it was.

"DREW! You scared me half to death. And... well I guess I was hoping that... uhh!"

Reina didn't have an answer so she took her brush and flung some green paint at Drew.

"Drew I now declare you a property of Slytherin!"

Reina laughed as though it was the funniest thing she has ever witnessed.

[Drew Thornton]

"Oh, NOT cool!" Drew answered, jumping back a little to late to prevent getting splattered. To make matters worse, the little drips and drops taht covered him were now growing bigger. He just hoped it wasn't semi-permanent like Alhana's stuff. "Dang, Reina! You could have at least made it blue!"

[diablo]

Reina threw back her head.

"Mwhahahahaha! You are forever our new mascot."

Reina turned slowly towards Dan and before he could say or do anything she also splattered him.

"I, Reina Diablo, Queen of all Slytherins also herby mark you as Slytherin's property."

Reina watched the two boys shirts slowly turn green.

"Hmm! I wonder if this stuff washes off."

[Drew Thornton]

"Yeah, well, we'll see how you like it," Drew countered reaching out to get a handful of paint. With one quick swoop, he had flung it back at Reina. Sure, it was her house color and all, but he figured she be more apt to work at making sure it got off this way.

[diablo]

"Nooooooooo!"

Reina turned her body and was splattered with a huge thick glob of blue paint. Reina shook her head.

"Now look what you did. You ruined it."

Reina looked at Drew and Dan's confused faces.

"See, I'm not totally brain dead. This paint changes to the house of the person touching it. Hence why it turned blue when you threw it at me. If you were to touch the walls then the walls would turn blue. That was my just-in-case-I-got-caught-blame-it-on-someone-else plan."

Reina spun around trying to see if the blue was growing on her shirt as she explained her simply brilliant plan.

"Like if any Prof. would touch the wall to see if it really was green then it would turn back to brick. They would assume it was just them and I would be off the hook. Then all I have to do is come back and touch the walls again. The effect only lasts 24 hours, but people would think they're crazy!"

[Drew Thornton]

"Bloody BRILLIANT!" Drew cried out, slapping another glob of paint, this time against the wall, grinning as it turned a very satisfactory color of blue. Heck, if it was only going to last twenty-four hours, why not?

[diablo]

Reina did a mock bow.

"Thank you thank you. I have thousand of ideas. It just takes me a while to figure out how to make them happen."

Reina laughed as Drew threw more paint at the wall. She frowned as it started to overtake her green.

"Hey! This is Slytherin's wall!" Reina threw more paint at the wall.

[Drew Thornton]

"So?" Drew answered back, slopping another blob of paint onto the walls and only getting a little bit of the blue stuff on Reina... accidentally, of course.

[arianna]

"You have thousands of ideas?" came an angry voice from just around the corner. A small, red-faced, raven-haired girl marched out of the shadows, her almond-shaped eyes narrowed to small slits. She stopped only a foot from the taller, older girl and glared up at Reina, hands tucked in her pockets as she was obviously fighting the urge to pull her wand out and hex the Slytherin.

"And where do you get these ideas?" Arianna questioned, her chest heaving in her fury. "Steal any bookbags lately? Or did you just happen upon them and decide to take claim on whatever was inside?"

[Drew Thornton]

Drew fell silent as Ari made an appearance, obviously upset with Reina about something. He wasn't sure what this was all about, but decided it was best to keep a low profile. He stopped his paint flinging and moved to the opposite wall to wait out the argument.

[diablo]

{Okay, I'll assume I stole one of Ari's idea.}

Reina looked at the younger girl and smiled sweetly. She took just a small step back not as a retreat, but to get enough space between them so she can summon her wand and use it if necessary.

"What do you mean?"

Yeah Reina found a bookbag with a huge book sticking out. And yeah Reina had reached in and grabbed the book. And yeah she loved the ideas she saw inside, BUT she wasn't going to tell them that.

[arianna]

{You didn't have to Great minds, after all...}

"SOMEone stole my bag just last week," Arianna growled between clenched teeth. Her eyes were blazing, proof that she was not playing games and would get to the bottom of this one way or another. "And when I got it back, all my notebooks were gone."

Of course, there was no way she'd be able to prove the idea for the paint was hers unless the notebook was found. Not even Drew had known about her secret. The only indication that the thing belonged to her was the girl's habit of marking all of her possessions with a drawing of some sort.

"I want them back, Reina," Arianna growled again. The hand in her pocket tightened over her wand. "I know you have them."
