Temperamental Metamorphmagus

"Seriously! Just shut. up.!!" Azrali shouted at another student outside of the common room, "God, you gossip more than any preppy annoying prat at a muggle school, you bloody idiot!" She groaned as she pushed the student away from the door and shoved the portrait open to walk into the Common Room. People stared at her. She sneered at someone, "Got an eye problem?! I can fix it!" She snapped.

She sat on the windowsill staring out at the sky. She caught her reflection and her hair was a fiery red, and not her normal platinum or her natural black and her eyes weren't their normal grey or natural hazel, but onyx.

'Oh. Fantastic, you stupid Metamorphmagus.' She thought running her fingers through her now-red hair. She sighed and rolled her currently-onyx eyes. She pushed her hair back and pulled her knees up to chest. She hadn't realized someone was walking towards her to talk to her. Someone was challenging the temperamental Romanian's attitude?

Alyssa heard the explosive tempers at the door to the common room, and glanced up from her book curious to see what was happening. She recognised the girl from her flying class, that is untill her hair turned bright red. Seeing her stalk toward the window sill, Alyssa dared to venture towards her.
"Hey, are you ok?" She asked tentively. She understood how it felt to be talked about. People thought she didnt hear the whispers or see the glances, but it was glaringly obvious to her that they were talking about her father and his mysterious death.

Azrali stared at the girl for a moment. She'd seen her around, and once had snapped at a boy for muttering about the girl's dad, but she never bothered actually talking to the girl.

" 'm alright." She muttered in her Romanian accent. "I jus' hate when girls gossip, ya know? I'ss naut needed." She grumbled.

"Yeah! I agree, some girls are incosiderate, and dont understand that what they say can hurt," Alyssa said quietly. She carefully took half a seat on the windowsill, next to the girl. "wanna chocolate frog?" She asked offering the candy out to the girl as an offer for friendship.

Azrali grinned at her and moved over to give her some more room, taking the chocolate frog, "Thanks, I lvoe these!" Azrali had to love them, it took her forever to learn how to eat them without them jumping away from her.

"I just can't stand the annoying girls that talk about other people. Ah mean, wha's it go'na do for anyone?"

Encouraged by her friendliness, Alyssa moved a little closer, and took out another chocolate frog for herself.
"It is really pointless, talking about people, like whats that going to provide the world? More negativity?" Alyssa started opening her Chocolate Frog, "Oh wait! I forgot! We all want to hear their amazing opinions about people, because obiously they know everything, and the world just has to know what they think!" She said her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Sorry," she added sheepishly "I didnt mean to rant like that! I just have a sore spot for gossip." Her face was blushed bright red, fearing she scared her new friend away.

Azra boasted with laughter, as her temper diminished, as did the red color in her hair. It flowed softly back to its platinum color, "Don't apologize, love!" She pushed a hand through her hair and shook her head, "It's fine! We all have our moments." Calming down lightly, she smiled at her once more, "I know you must.." She felt as if she was treading lightly on thin ice, mentioning this, "I've heard them whisper and stare at you... It drives me crazy... but we all have family problems, eh?" She shrugged slightly, "People talk about how surprising it is that I'm not like my fun loving clown of a hufflepuff brother, or smart, know it all, gorgeous ravenclaw sister. No, I'm the tempermental metamorphmagus." She grinned cheekily.

Smiling, now that she didn't loose a friend, Alyssa laughed, then became more serious.
"I'm glad you aren't one of those who kids who sits around and tries to 'solve his death', i know the story is suspicious, and," her voice dropping to a whisper, "I know its a cover-up, but that doesnt mean they need to bring it up all the time." Alyssa nervously ran her fingers through her hair, then her voice back to normal, she continued, "I think your cool the way you are, and if people dont accept that then I say they can go fall in a ditch" She said laughing. "Beisdes, the temperamental metamorphmagus is cooler. ...I've had this idea for a prank, but I dont want to do it alone, would you be intrested?"

"I don't see a point in trying to 'solve' it. He's not my dad... I mean, if I was your best mate i could see it... but not random people." She shrugged. At the mention of pranks, A sly, cunning smirk pulled on Azrali's lips, "The Az is in." Pranks were some of her favorite things to do, and she really liked this girl. Saying her name made her think, "Oh, jeez, the name's Azrali, call me Az." She smiled."

"Cool! I like your name! Mine's Alyssa, but my friends back home had like a million nicknames! You can pick which one you wanna use," Alyssa said smiling,"There's Padfoot, Padfoot Jr., PJ, or Lyssa." She was so glad Az was going to help her with her prank. She loved pulling pranks, everyone said it was in her blood, that her Grandfather was a maurauder, and its a shame she couldnt learn the trade from either him, or her biological father. But who cares what they think! I'm perfectly fine at pranks myself!
"The jist of the prank, is we're gunna make it rain on only the Slytherin table at one of the meals. I found a spell that should work, but I needs two people to say it at the same time, for it to be strong enough to withstand the professors, whwatcha think?"

"That sounds absolutely magnificant!" Her grin was getting wider by the second, HAH. Raining on those snakes, wicked. "That's perfectly wicked, Pad!" She pushed her now-orange-from-excitement hair back.

"You are prepared for the detention we'll get, yeah?" She chuckled. SHe had no problem with receiving a detention but wanted to make sure Alyssa didn't mind either. She was pretty used to get in trouble for pranks, Azra had multiple siblings and was the prankster of the family.

"My grandfather was a maurader! Of course I'm ok with getting a detention!" She said laughing. Pranks weren't new to her. She had been pulling pranks since she could walk, everyone said it was just in her blood.

Suddenly Twinky a house elf Alyssa recognised popped in front of them,
"Master Chaos wishes to see Young Master Black, Twinky can pop young master there if young master wishes." The Tennis ball sized eyes blinked a few times. Alyssa jumped slightly when her overly sensed ears heard the loud pop.
"Um, ok... Do you know why he wants to see me?" she looked nervously at the elf then Az.
"No, Master Chaos just told Twinky to get Young Master Black."
"Oh, ok" she said, "I guess I'll see you later then. We can plan our prank then."

"Alright, see you later, Pad!" Azrali had been slightly shocked to see the house elf pop up, but shrugged it off. She'd seen a few but never got near one before.

About an hour later Alyssa comes back into the common room and sits heavily on one of the couches thinking about all the headmaster had told her. He said my stuff has already been moved from the dorm room, she thought sadly.

"Hey, Pad. What's wrong?" She asked looking at the sad friend. Her eyes drifted around the common room looking to see who she would have to beat up,

"Someone I have to beat up?"

Cracking a smile at her friends joke, Alyssa said "Not unless you plan on beating up the Headmaster," She loved her friends sense of humor, Az could always make her laugh, and make things better without really having to do anything.
"Apparently something happened, I dont really even understand it, but now instead of being a Gryffindor I'm a Hufflepuff. He already moved my bags into my new dorm." Alyssa said crestfallen, finally making a new friend, and already having to leave. It was just her luck.

Azrali's face fell momentarily but she shook her head, "Well, that's alright, love." She shrugged lightly and put her hand on the girl's shoulder, "There's a student common room, and every other room in the house! We can still be friends, of course." Alyssa had become such a good friend in such a short period of time, and she really liked her.

Alyssa's heart sored when Az said they could still be friends. She was so used to people picking on Hufflepuffs, and she didn't think Az would, but she didnt want the girl to get laughed at because she still talked to her.
"Really?" She asked eagerly, "I'm so glad we can still be friends. I would have been so sad if we hadn't. Plus we still have a prank to pull!" She hoped talking about the prank would brighten Az up, not to mention herself. Az had become such a good friend, after all there is no kind of bonding like ranting-while-eating-chocolate-frogs-and-planning-a-prank bonding!

"Of course, silly." She rolled her eyes lightly, "Plus, even if you're a Hufflepuff now, you're still pretty wicked. I mean, my brother's pretty wicked and he's a hufflepuff." She paused, "Just... don't tell him I ever sad that." She laughed,

"So, when do you want to plan this prank? I'm definitely ready to get back at some Slytherins. Or just make the whole school laugh." She winked.

"Dont worry I wont tell, and I cant believe your calling me wicked!" Alyssa laughed "Your the one whos wicked!" Alyssa pulled a piece of parchment out of her pocket. "We can start whenever you want, I've done some research, and I know the spell that will change the ceiling, and we can do it anytime, and have it set to start a mega-down pour whenever we want, but to stop the teachers from doing it right away, we need two people at least to cast it, otherwise they're superior magic will...overide, I guess, ours." Alyssa was figiting with the paper in her hand, she always had to be moving somehow, and especially when she was excited about something. Friends back home would say she was ADHD. She couldnt focus for her life, unless of course, she was working on a prank.

"Awesome!" Azrali smirked as she looked over her friend's notes, "THis is great. I'm totally in. You're brilliant, Alyssa! I could never think to find a spell like this." She shrugged. She passed it back to the girl. "I'm seriously beyond excited for this. When do you wanna do it?"

Alyssa blushed at the praise, she didnt think she was that smart, she just obsessed sometimes.
"Thanks, I'm so excited too," she started playing with the braclets on her wrist, a thing she did when excited, or when she had lots of energy, "Do you want to go now? No one would be there, and then we could have an awesome suprise for the Slytherins at dinner!" Alyssa laughed, glad the previous drama of the day seemed to be forgotten.

"I suppose." She rolled her eyes lightly, "I'm still not positive how it's going to work." she sccratched the back of her neck lightly, "But, I guess I'll wing it with ya, huh?" She grinned, "Wouldn't let you do it all yourself though."

"If you want to wait, I can research the spell a little more if you want!" It didnt bother Alyssa either way, she was just glad to be able to do the prank with someone.
