A Perfect Target

[hermione7lunaroc]

Having stayed up late unable to fall asleep for reasons unbeknownst to her, she had wandered down into the common room. Staring into the fire she had fallen asleep, blanket wrapped around her shoulders. Now it was late morning and she was still asleep, a very inviting target to anyone who wished.

((Lol, yes it is open . . . spare me at least some mercy . . . lol it's dangerous to sleep in the common room I know))

[Hiro McVeil]

Some people just never learn, Hiro had made a strict policy that should have been spread through out the house 'If one should find themselves too tired to make it to their beds, will more than likely find a prank or two upon their heads'.' This rule had yet to be unenforced and Lily was no exception. Lucky for her Hiro had gotten tired of the old waterballoon slingshot and had yet to come up with another classic prank. The only thing he could think of was using some one esle's prank, hair changing dust it would make the victims hair cycle in a rainbow of colors. Now Lily slept with her hair rotating colors, sure it wasn't great but it was something.

Lily rolled over in her sleep and some hair fell across her face. Tickling her nose until she sneezed and woke up only to find her hair bright purple. In shock for a second, she thought she might be dreaming. Until her hair turned green. Where had she seen this before? She sat bolt upright when she realized it. "HIRO!"

[Hiro McVeil]

"What?" Hiro had just been entering the commonroom to make it seem like he had just arrived. Due to his abscent mindedness he had forgotten that she was with him when he pointed out the dust from the other pranker.

[hermione7lunaroc]

"Did you do this?" Lily asked taking a chunk of her hair in her fist and shaking it at him. "That would be a clever set up. Only pretend like you didn't know who did the prank when really that colored dust was you all along. Confess!"

[Hiro McVeil]

"Do what?" Of course he knew what she was talking about but when she tried to show him her hair it went unnoticed.

How did she know I used color dust? He still hadn't remembered that she was there.

"I don't know what you're talking about I just got in." This would have been an easier story to sell if she hadn't been at the scene of the crime.

[hermione7lunaroc]

"Yeah but I've been sleeping here most of the night," Lily said. "You could have done it earlier. You just getting in proves nothing. Nothing at all. I was there when this happened to you. Who else would it be?" She shook her fist in a threatening manor. "'Fess up or else!"

[Hiro McVeil]

She had caught him red handed, he was the only one that had the powder other than that other pranker...and his dumbfounded expression gave it away. The way he stood there was as good a confession as any.

[hermione7lunaroc]

"See?" Lily said. "I just knew it, I just knew it." She buried her face in her hands. "How does it come out? Is it tricky? Don't leave me here with no notion of how it comes out."

[Hiro McVeil]

"People stopped pointing it out after a shampoo." Hiro replied, a little disappointed that this prank was the shortest ever. "I don't think it was meant to stay for long, probably more of a hair dye than a prank."

[hermione7lunaroc]

"Alright," Lily said. "That's good to know." She sat up and pulled the blanket tighter around her shoulders. "I'm sorry if I ruined your prank Hiro." She said. "By knowing about it I mean." She knew it wasn't the most fun in the world to get caught, heck it usually wasn't fun at all.

[Hiro McVeil]

"I just have to remember who was with me when." He attmitted. "It would have probably had more effect if I did, Though at least it was a slingshot waterballoon." He said in his defence.

[hermione7lunaroc]

"That you're true," Lily said. "That you're true." She was quiet, thinking for a bit, trying to figure out why she had fallen asleep down here last night in the first place. She couldn't quite figure out what was bugging her so much, and she scratched her head, wishing she knew.

[Hiro McVeil]

As if on the same wave length Hiro asked,

"What were you sleeping down here for anyway? You've been here long enough to know the policy."

[hermione7lunaroc]

"I didn't mean to fall asleep," Lily said, rubbing her head. "I just couldn't sleep and staying upstairs for long when I can't sleep makes me clausterphobic. I just came down here to see if I could get sleepy. I guess I never made it back upstairs."
