The Forgotten Twin

Chapter 14

The next morning Delilah woke Daphne up. Or at least she tried to. She was harder to wake up than Harry, and that was saying something. When Daphne was up and moving, Delilah went to wake up Draco.

She hesitated outside his door, remembering the Hogwarts motto. Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus. Never wake a sleeping dragon. Draco meant dragon... and he was sleeping.... No, she shouldn't. But it would be so funny....

Delilah slowly opened Draco's door. He was fast asleep, the perfect target. She crept next to his bed. One moment he was sleeping peacefully, the next he was sitting straight up, laughing as Delilah tickled him. He pushed her away, and she fell to the ground, laughing.

"Your face was priceless," Delilah announced.

Draco helped her up.

"Is it time?" he asked, his face a light pink.

She nodded.

"Daphne should be ready by now, let's go."

Luckily she was, so they grabbed her paint, cast the invisibility charm, and headed up to the Ravenclaw tower.

Of course there were still a few students up, but they were easily charmed to sleep, courtesy of Daphne.

"Ok," Delilah started, "Daphne, can you start drawing with the paint on a wall? Draco, will you turn the books in the mystery section so the spine is in the back? Whoever is done first, can you put more green and silver glitter everywhere? If you get bored you can charm these students or something."

While they were working on that, Delilah started enchanting the books, changing their writing to funny things like, "LEAVE ME ALONE! I JUST WANT TO STAY HERE AND GATHER DUST!" "Help, I'm no longer a tree!" and "WhY rIcK?! wHy?!" with a variety of writers' names. There also was one full of crappy tips and another with a bunch of funny book scenes, but with no context.

"Add something about how great snakes named Midnight are!" Midnight suggested, slightly squeezing Delilah's neck.

"Why did I bring you," Delilah muttered, adding it to the back of a book that looked as if it hadn't been opened in eons.

"Because I'm awesome."

By the time Delilah was done, Daphne and Draco had finished their jobs and were messing with the few Ravenclaws in the common room. One had bright silver hair, and another had green. The best was how Draco somehow managed to charm one of the students to have a pig's nose and tail, making her look like a skinny, female version of Dudley. They'd have a nasty shock when they woke up.

Mission accomplished.

"People will be coming down soon, we should leave," Daphne announced, looking at her watch.

Sadly it wasn't time for breakfast, so they had to go back to the common room. Oddly enough it was still empty.

"So, I know a place where we can meet, but you will need to know how to say something in Parseltongue."

"You mean for the DADA meetings?" Daphne checked.

Delilah nodded.

"Can you wake up Theodore, Draco?"

"Theodore is... difficult to wake up," Draco slowly stated, "but I can try."

Delilah and Daphne stared at him.

"Oh, you mean now. Okay." He left towards the boys' dormitories.

A few minutes later Draco came back with Theodore, both of them soaking wet.
