[Twenty-One - Right Through The Eye] [Dictated]

[the_effect_she_has]

[Katniss has the journal flipped open, as she ties up her boots for practice, making sure the laces were good and tight, before speaking into the journal.]

Calling the pitch for Slytherin Practice. If you don't have it reserved, too bad.

[She paused for a moment, before saying a little more distinctly.] You can't miss us. Green. Silver. Some pink.

[Just a remind - she knows. She knows one of you did it. And she doesn't like being humiliated.]

Filtered to the Slytherin House

Did you all know that certain combinations of herbs and vegetables in a high dose will change a person's skin color? Fascinating stuff, Herbology.

Katniss

[unvarnished]

Doing some camoflague, sis?

August

[the_effect_she_has]

Tit for tat, brother.

Katniss

[unvarnished]

I think we can do a little better than skin color. I have some plants I've been working with that would be much more interesting.

[She shook her head, hard.] No, nothing that could keep us from playing in the Cup. We have to be careful. Clever. [She remembered Foxface.] Let's not eat the poison berries without looking.

Katniss

[unvarnished]

Hm. Okay, you have a point. The victory won't be satisfying if they have to forfeit.

[hasmommyissues]

You don't say...

[The voice is curious with a hint of arrogance. Silva has been doing so research into herbs and plants himself.]

Re: Slytherin house

[the_effect_she_has]

Why yes I do. If only I knew a practical use for this knowledge.

Slytherin house

[hasmommyissues]

Hmmm what to do, what to do?

We could always surprise those gracious losers from Ravenclaw? I'm sure they'd appreciate a visit.

Re: Slytherin house

[the_effect_she_has]

They might in fact enjoy having ... green skin? We would just have to find a way to slip it into their food. As a surprise.

Slytherin house

[hasmommyissues]

[He laughs.] Green, Red, yellow...we have an entire spectrum to chose from.

It should be easy enough to sneak into their food. With the right invisibility spell I'll be more then happy to help take them down a peg or two.

[wizard_redfive]

[Sorry, Katniss. She would have skipped you, but that would have make you seem complicit in the prank. It'd be like painting a big red target on her head. Way too risky. She'll make it up to you later, once people's minds are back to normal and the teachers are gone.

Dairine frowns slightly from her seat in the library. The pink should have faded by now, it wasn't supposed to last more than half a day. Did something go wrong?

She doesn't go near the Quidditch pitch (since she's not itching for a fight), but she does check outside the window when the practice is supposed to be held. The pink hue had been pretty vibrant, so she should be able to tell if it's still there, even at this distance.]

[the_effect_she_has]

[Had she known it was Dairine, she might have been a little more understanding. She knew how much Dair hated to lose.

Right now, she's thinking it's one of those obnoxious people who really think they're Ravenclaws. Damned nutcases.

She's clearly disregarded what Felix has said about the dragon - after all if the dragon goes after her at least it's off the roof. From the distance, you can see the pinkish tint to her hair, where she tried to charm it and it didn't quite work. She kicks off on her broom, with her red Quaffle tossing it through the goals.]

Katniss -- Written

[wizard_redfive]

[Still, by plotting against Team Ravenclaw, she's plotting against her friend! For shame!

Okaaaay... That's odd. It definitely should have faded by now. Dairine thought for sure she had gotten the time parameter right. Maybe Katniss or somebody else tried the wrong counter-spell and accidentally extended the time?

Grabbing her journal, she makes a quick, filtered note to Katniss. While pranking her seemed neccessary before, there was no reason to make her suffer longer. Eventually, Kat might notice the note. Dairine doesn't announce herself but isn't attempting to hide her handwriting either. After all, it isn't that suspicious to help a friend in need, right?]

Capillus Naturallus.

Gently tap hair roots with your wand while reciting the incantation.

Tap exactly three times; no more, no less.

Brings out natural hair color.

Dairine - Written

[the_effect_she_has]

[It's not until after practice that Katniss gets back to her journal, and when she reads the note ... she knows who pulled the prank. Oh Dair. Katniss sighs, before she writes back, just as filtered.]

Thanks. Just as a warning, to get unnatural skin colors to fade out of your system, drink clear water with a little sage and lavender, followed by a cleansing potion. The water is to stabilize the color, the potion will clear your system out of the coloring agents.

[Dairine looks over the reply and frowns. Really? Retaliation so soon? But she was the one who was snubbed first! Honestly, these Slytherins don’t know when to quit. Either way, Dairine takes note to keep her guard up for the next few days.]

Noted. Thanks for the heads up.

[wagers]

Nice to know you made that full recovery! I knew I wouldn't have to worry about you, Katniss!

Snake filter

[the_effect_she_has]

Of course not. It was momentary lapse, nothing more.

[Playing this role was both too easy and too hard.] Professor Harrowgate says not to practice because of the dragon, but I really think that's absurd.

[youfallback]

Do you know this from experience or from reading?

Slytherin filter

[the_effect_she_has]

Let's put it this way. I've never been orange.

Slytherin filter

[youfallback]

[Carolina snorts and laughs a little.] It could be a good look!

Maybe not on the pitch, though.

Slytherin filter

[the_effect_she_has]

I only look good in flames if it's a dress, or I'm running through them.

On the pitch would make me a moving target.

Slytherin filter

[little_shit]

[He laughs]

Oh that's brilliant.

Slytherin filter

[the_effect_she_has]

[She makes a little bow, before writing.]

Thank you. I do have my moments of genius.

Slytherin filter

[little_shit]

More than a few, I'd wager.

Do you need any assistance?

Slytherin filter

[the_effect_she_has]

Might need some help getting supplies.
