━ ATHENA BLACK SAT IN THE GRYFFINDOR COMMON ROOM. The brightly lit fire the only source of light in the room, as she sat there peacefully, reading her charms textbook. The other item on her lap was Harry's Invisibility Cloak.
Harry had lent her the cloak earlier for the prank. She asked if he wanted to join them but he said that he was too tired and wanted to sleep. It was late at night, and everybody was already in bed, well everyone but her. Then, a few moments later, soft steps were heard from the boys' staircase.
She looked up from her book to see the two identical boys, wands in their pockets and a grin on their faces. "Ready boys?" She asked the two.
"Ready Fi." The twins answered in unison. Athena closed her book, leaving it on the table as she was going to retrieve it later. Before the three had left the common room, the girl asked a question.
"Wait so what's this map you were talking about earlier?" The girl looked at the two, who looked at each other as one brings a piece of parchment out of their back pocket.
"The Marauders Map." Athena's eyes widened as they muttered the spell to reveal the map. Fred had noticed the sudden reaction. "Shocking ain't it?"
"I know this map." She stated, her eyes not leaving the parchment.
The two boys then looked at each other again, then looked back at the girl. "You do?"
An enthusiastic smile appeared on Athena's face. "'Course I do! My father and his friends made it."
Now the roles have swapped as the eyes of the two boys have widened. "Your father- you mean your father was a marauder?"
Athena nodded. "Yeah, Padfoot. Harry's dad is Prongs, My uncle is Moony and Wormtail-" The girl stopped, her joyous mood defusing as she stated the following words with gritted teeth. "-Can rot in hell."
The twins were confused at the sudden change of reaction. Athena noticed the look on the brothers' faces as she sighed. "He betrayed my family. Sold the Potters to Voldemort-" The two winced slightly. "Right- sorry. To You-Know-Who which is why me and Harry are motherless."
The two boys didn't know what to say or do, which is why they just hugged Athena. "It's alright, no need to feel sorry. Anyways are we going to the prank or not?"
Fred and George were slightly perplexed as to why the girl's mood had changed so sudden but ignored it as they grinned.
They walked out of the common room. "I have Harry's cloak so this should make things easier.
The three walked out of the common room, all underneath the cloak. They left to their first destination, which was the rooms on the seventh floor.

Athena walked alongside Harry, Ron and Hermione. A smirk had grown on her face as they neared the Great Hall. Though around them, some students, ghosts, teachers were running around the school frantically, looking as if they had just seen something haunted.
The quad entered the Hall, Ron and Hermione shocked as to what had happened. Harry gave Athena a high five, which nobody noticed. "What the... How in Merlin's name did this happen?" Hermione breathed out.
"I've been asking the same thing, Miss Granger. Though I think I may know what happened, well who happened." A voice had spoken behind them.
The four had turned around, only to see an angered Professor McGonagall standing there. "Hi Minnie, nice day today, isn't it?" Athena grinned at the professor.
"Come with me Miss Black- Mister Weasley have you seen your brothers by any chance?"
"Which one?" Ron looked at the Professor.
"The twins."
"Oh, they should be somewhere inside the hall." The five then looked inside the hall. "Why?"
"It takes more than one to do something this splendid." Athena winked at the red-headed second year as she followed the professor, the other three standing there with their jaw dropped.
The whole school - except the teachers' quarters, dorm rooms, Gryffindor common room, bathrooms, Dumbledore's office and the kitchens - seemed to have everything upside down as they were stuck on the ceiling. Desks, chairs, shelves, everything-- were all upside down, glued onto the ceiling.
The three students now stood in Dumbledore's office, the angry Professor was pacing back and forth in front of the students, muttering something. Dumbledore just sat in his chair, an amused look on his face. McGonagall stopped as she looked at the four. "You three, please explain why in Godric's name you did this."
"Why would you assume that we caused this?" Athena looked at the professor, fake hurt on her face.
The professor shook her head, due to Athena's dramatics (one that she had grown familiar with, thanks to her father). "Okay, tell me Miss Black, did you cause this prank."
"No ma'am."
Professor McGonagall eyed her. "Did you and Mister Weasleys cause this prank?"
Nobody said anything at first, until the three of three of them spoke in unison. "Yes ma'am."
McGonagall groaned, closing her eyes tiredly, before opening them again. "Now, can you lot reverse the spell?"
The young Black shook her head. "There's no counter-spell. Only a time limit." Athena smiled. "It should wear off at the end of the day."
The professor shook her head once again. "House points will be taken away for each of you. Detention for the rest of the term as well." McGonagall stated. "Now off you go. Come to my office at the end of the day."
The students then left the office, leaving the two professors to chat. Dumbledore's eyes twinkled, following the three, giddy students as they exited. "You would have to admit Minerva, the fact that these young students were able to put an irreversible spell on the majority of school property is amazing."
McGonagall looked at the Headmaster. "But Albus, items are stuck to the ceiling!"
"Yes, yes." He replied, his amused expression not leaving his face. "But these are signs that they are going to be powerful wizards and witch one day."
McGonagall's head then turned towards the door they exited, in thought. "I... suppose your right."
