Raina Weasley sat alone in the Gryffindor common room. Many of her friends had gone to the Christmas ball. Raina wasn't really all that interested in going and so she decided to stay behind. She sat in a big comfortable chair by the fire curled up with her favorite book. This quiet time was just what she needed. But she looked up from her book occasionally to see the other Gryffindors who passed through the common room on their way to the ball.
Raina stretched her long legs and then moved to a more comfortable position in her chair. She brushed a stray lock of her red hair from her emerald eyes as she looked up once more when she heard footsteps coming down the stairs the lead to the girls dorm.

Jamie Finnigan was on her way down to the common room. She wasn't going to the ball and wanted to see if anyone was around. When she reached the bottom of the stairs she saw someone sitting in a chair by the fire. The red hair indicated that this person must be a Weasley. Jamie walked over to see which one it was. She recognized Raina immediately when the other girl looked up at her. "Hey, Raina," she said, "I take it you're not going to the ball either?"

"Hey, Jaime," Raina said greeting her friend.
"I take it you're not going to the ball either?"
Raina shook her head. "Nah, I really didn't feel like it," she said. She put her book down and sat up. "So, what are you up to?" Raina wondered, "Anything interesting going on?"

It was then that little Tabitha Weasley came into the common room. She was in her school uniform, and soaking wet. Some Slytherins decided to pull a prank on her, and ended up making Tabby cry. She silenced her crying when she noticed her cousin and and Jamie.

Raina stood up when she saw her cousin walk into the common room soaking wet. "Tabitha, what happened, hun?" Raina asked, "Are you ok?"

"Some Slytherins pulled a prank on me." she said, walking over to where her cousin was.

Skye Weasley entered the common room just moments after her cousin. She saw her sister and Jamie Finnigan seated by the fire. She looked at Tabitha who was soaking wet. "Woah, Tabby, what happened to you?" she wondered.

Tabby sighed, and waited for anyone else who was going to come into the room before she answered. "Skylar Nott and Zacharias Malfoy pulled a prank on." Her voice was shakey, but it wasn't from fear, it was because now she was freezing.

"Some Slytherins pulled a prank on me."
Raina hugged Tabitha even though she was soaked. Those Slytherins were going to pay for this. "It's ok, Tabby," she said in an effort to comfort the younger Weasley. "We'll get those Slytherins. No body plays a prank on my baby cousin and gets away with it."
She let go of Tabitha when she saw her sister come in. "Skye, I'm glad you're here," Raina said, "Some stupid Slytherin punks decided it would be fun to pull a prank on our cousin."

Jamie looked at the three Weasleys. "I guess I let you deal with this one, Raina," she said to her friend, "I'm going to go find my brother Peter. Let me know if you need any help." She turned and headed out the door. But before she did she placed a hand on Tabitha's shoulder. "You'll be ok, kiddo," she said, "If I know your cousin those Slytherins won't get away with this." With that she turned and left.

Tabitha had hugged Rania back, and looked around the room at her other fellow Gryffindors. She looked at her other cousin, Skye, then to Jamie. "If you'll excuse me. I'm going to go change. I'm freezing." Tabby said, and hurried up into her dorm. When she came back down she was in a pair of black slacks and a grey turtle neck, the Gryffindor crest printed on the right side where there would have been a pocket. Her light red hair was now tied back in a wet ponytail.

Skye turned to her sister when Tabby went to change. "It figures a Malfoy would be involved in something like this," she said. Tabitha came back down to the common room. "So, what are we going to do about this?" Skye asked, "We can't let those two get away with pulling a prank on a Weasley."

Tabby watched her cousins debate on what they should do, as for her she was too shaken up over the while thing. Mostly that she'd been embarrassed in front of almost the entire school.

"We'll have to get them back somehow," Raina said. She turned to Tabitha. "Are you sure you're ok, hun?" she asked, "You should come over by the fire and warm up a bit more."

"I'm fine besides the whole I'm still freezing my tail off." she said, and did what Raina had suggested. Tabitha walked over to the fire, and sat down near it, and continued to listen to her cousins. "Whatever we do, it's got to be in front of most of the school as they pulled the stupid prank on me in the middle of the stupid ball."
