"Are you sure this is going to work?" I sighed as Sirius lead me around the dark corridors, concealed under the invisibility cloak. My bag was filled with magical dyes for the prank we came up with. Sirius insisted on getting revenge the night before the Gryffindor versus Slytherin quidditch match. He also insisted on pranking everyone in Slytherin after some Slytherin girl he "dated" cheated on him with another Slytherin. Honestly, I don't think Sirius cared about the cheating, he was now just doing this for amusement.
"As sure as my name is Sirius Orion Black the third!" Sirius insisted and stopped next to a snoring portrait of a large, green snake. We were close to the Slytherin common room... I didn't know where it was exactly, but I heard it was somewhere near the dungeons. Obviously Sirius knew where he was going though.
"How do you know where the Slytherin common room is anyways?" I asked, trailing my hand across the frigid, darkening, stone walls... It was a creepy corridor... Pretty suitable for Slytherin if you asked me.
"My brother is in Slytherin... He tells me a few things. Plus, I made out with some chick down here the other day... Damn she was-"
"Too much information!" I cut him off quickly, not wanting to hear the details of his recent conquest.
"Alright... Anyways, stop right here, the water pipes should be directly behind this wall... Possibly a bit above us." Sirius explained and gently pulled the cloak from over our heads. He slapped his hand on the moist stone wall, the sharp crack echoing down the hall.
"How do you know that?" I questioned incredulously, dropping our bag of supplies on the cobbles. Sirius looked at me like I was stupid and stared for a second, allowing me to bask in the completely obvious fact that I could hear running water and creaking pipes in the wall just above our heads.
"Sorry I'm not a sleuth!" I expressed and fumbled for my wand in my pocket. "So how do we do this? Just bust a hole in the wall and repair it later?"
"Well, if you have a better plan..." Sirius shrugged, giving permission for me to destroy the stone wall. There were about a hundred things that could go wrong with me destroying an entire section of wall in the dungeons... But I wasn't thinking and did it anyways.
"Reducto!" I said, the red jet of light hitting the wall and crumbling the stone like it was made of sand with a loud boom that could probably be heard all across he castle.
"What are you trying to do?! Wake Dumbledore?!" Sirius groaned and pointed his lit wand at the gaping hole. Sure enough, copper pipes threaded across the wall just out of reach.
"Shut up, just figure out a way for us to reach those pipes!" I instructed.
"Maybe if you were taller..." Sirius poked, earning him a slap upside the head. "I'm kidding! Okay... You stand there and hold me up by my feet and I'll reach the pipes."
Once again, Sirius got another slap and he insisted he was kidding again. Pressing my lips together in annoyance, I grabbed two glass vials out of my bag and slipped them into my pocket.
"Just lift me up punk." I growled and pressed my foot into his laced hands, as he hoisted me up so I could reach the glistening copper pipes that were tinged blue from years of water condensation. I felt like one of those muggle cheerleaders up high in the air- even though I was only standing about nine feet tall. Sirius groaned as I shuffled around, stretching up to reach the pipe. He stared up at me, snickering as he did so.
