Mischief's The Name (Bill) [PG-13]

Adrastos was smiling. Which meant he was up to something like always. He stood at the bottom of the Clock Tower, waiting for a few Slytherins to step out. Mostly Malphas' crew, but he wasn't with them, Adrastos had made sure he was with his girlfriend, so he wasn't that outnumbered if they found out he was to blame for what was about to happen. He had left two timed stinkbombs, and he'd set them off exactly when Archard, Lucius and Mulciber passed by.

Bill was wandering, with nothing more to do than try and find something to do. After a short amount of time, he had found himself in the Clock Tower Courtyard. He was beginning to think that it was his favourite place in the castle, since he seemed to spend more time alone there than in his own dormitory. He was about to take a seat against a wall when he saw a boy that he was sure was a Gryffindor. Slowly, he approached him and noticed the look on the guy's face. "Hey," Bill said in a somewhat hushed tone, a smile forming on his lips, "What are you doing?"

Adrastos held his wand, waiting for the slytherin bastards to appear when a sudden voice slightly frightened him, "Godric be good, fuck man, you scared me," he narrowed his eyes at him and looked him up and down, then grinned, "Weasley don't do that again," he laughed and recognized him as the gryffindor Bill, the brother of Fred and George from his year.

Bill couldn't help but laugh at the boy's reaction. He seemed to be up to something, as he was getting the same vibes that he got from his younger twin brothers. "I'll try my best," he said, holding his hands up in an 'innocent' gesture. He moved a bit closer and quietly asked again, "What are you doing?"

"Starting my revenge," he grinned at him and motioned for Bill to look inside the clock tower. "Two stink bombs, timer, slytherins," he explained and his grin didn't leave him, he hoped Bill would be into seeing some slytherins, specially those from Malphas' group, be humiliated.

Bill's grin grew wider as he looked into the clock tower like the boy had told him to. He enjoyed messing with Slytherins as much as the next Gryffindor, although it was definitely more of Fred and George's area of expertise. "What are you getting revenge for? Just the fact that they're annoying Slytherins, or..?" He realised that he didn't know the boy's name, so he offered, "I'm Bill, by the way."

"Their leader beat my friends near death, Malphas Gaunt. I'll get to him soon enough, but first these idiots," he growled his eyes darkening a tad, he still wished to do to Malphas what he did to Ricardo, "Adrastos Moody," he offered for the other boy to shake his hand.

Bill frowned and looked again to where the group of Slytherin's were. "Really?" He said, his voice a bit darker than it originally was. He usually had little issue with the rivalry that went on between the two houses, but to actually hurt somebody was a different, and unacceptable, level in his opinion. "Good to meet you," Bill said, shaking the boy's hand.

"Yeah. Back at a party Gaunt beat Ricardo and Chase near death. They're gryffindors. And some of my best friends," he explained, whilst shaking the boy's hand, "Duck," he told him as he was suddenly behind a set of benches, looking on as the slytherins slowly approached the spot where they'd 'meet their doom'.

Bill let out a sigh, but did not continue on the topic. He knew Chase, and he definitely did not like the idea of the poor girl being harmed. “Asshole,” he said quietly, before looking up quickly as he was told to duck. He did as he was asked, and crouched down low, watching the group that was walking down the path. Hopefully Adrastos’ idea would be effective.

The slytherin trio stopped right next to one of the bombs. They were all connected so once one exploded the others would follow. Turning his head to Bill he nodded with a grin, "Do the honors?" he asked motioning for him to activate the fuse with his wand.

Bill watched as the Slytherins stopped walking and he looked over at Adrastos who seemed to be more excited by the second. "Alright," the older boy shook his head and smiled, before drawing his wand and muttering a spell toward the fuze. Then he returned his gaze to where the Slytherins were gathered, and waited.

Letting the fuse go, Adrastos peeked from behind the benches as the fuse burned up until it was next to Mulciber, Archard and Lucius, "Bang," he whispered and two explosions as loud as fireworks were heard, whilst a smoke mist formed itself around the three slytherin boys, "Cover your nose," he advised the other boy whilst he did that himself.

Bill quickly covered his nose and mouth with his hand as he witnessed the Slytherins being ambushed by a mist which he knew would smell bad enough to make most people’s eyes water. It seemed like a harmless prank, but he was pretty sure that if any of them realised who was behind it, that Adrastos would be in for a lot of crap from them. “Did you get me to light it just so that you can say that I set off the bombs if they question you?” He said jokingly, still crouched out of sight.

Adrastos smirked as the slytherins began trying to run from that peculiar mist like confused cockroaches.  “Nah, I let you light it 'cause I wanted to share the fun,” he answered in all honesty.

Bill grinned and shook his head, glancing through an open space to see what the Slytherin’s were doing. He let out a low chuckle as they attempted to run away, but knew from experience that the substance would probably require them a change of clothes. “Well, that’s nice of you,” he said, not taking his eyes from the amusing sight below them.

Adrastos tilted his head and smiled, before doing a small quick movement with his hand - he held his palm up, and clenched his index and middle finger - which meant it was time to go, as members of the hogwarts staff would be arriving soon, "See ya on the flip side, Bill," Adrastos said and then ran out of the courtyard.
