The perfect plan

[Tala Ivanov]

Tala looked around him quickly. He was waiting for Aeon, outside Styx's office, to arrive so that they could set up their prank that they cooked up for Styx. It was genius, they'd get caught, but it would be worth it. And when they get taken to Nick, cause they will, and he asks why they did it. He had the perfect answer...: "We just wanted to see him smile." It would be great....Only if Aeon would get here before Styx gets back from where ever he was snooping about. He had the bucket and paint...but Aeon has the Ink needed for the last part of the plan.

 

[Aeon Summers]

Aeon was walking from the Lakefront after seeing Taylor. He walked up to the Herbology Greenhouse and then on towards Professor Styx Office where he met Tala, pulling out the Everchanging ink he smiled. "You ready?" He asked

 

[Tala Ivanov]

Tala smirked and handed him the bucket full of paint. "Hell yeah. I'll unlock the door...the muggle way...sometimes it's the better way" He said as he pulled out a pick-lock tool. He inserted it into the lock and fiddled around with the lock for a few minutes until he heard a click. Satisfied he took the paint off Aeon and opened the door. "After you sir" he said mockingly bowing.


((I'm assuming that Styx wouldn't be prepared for a muggle to break into his office and wouldn't have anyting up to stop that....only prepared for magic))

 

[Aeon Summers]

"Why thank you." Aeon said, strutting into the office. It seemed dark and creepy inside the office.
"Oh my.." He muttered, staring around the room. "Well, Let's begin." He said, turning to face his accomplice, grinning widely at him.

 

[Tala Ivanov]

Tala looked slightly creeped out by Styx's office. "Right...Ink first I would say" He said putting the bucket down by the door for later. He walked closer to the desk. "Man....this guy is weird" he said to Aeon as he reached the desk. This was but phase one of their three phased plan...well four if singing 'we're off to see the wizard' counts as one on the way to Kings office.

 

[Aeon Summers]

Aeon followed him, glancing back at the door to make sure no one was there. He set the ever changing ink on the table with the lid open. "Now the paint, God this is exiting isn't it?" He said, looking at Tala and forcing a smile.

 

[Tala Ivanov]

Tala laughed lightly "Oh yeah...It feels like we are dancing with death." He said looking towards the door and paint. "This is the hard part. How do you think we should set this one up? We can't leave the door open....or maybe we can. He may be so angry that he won't realize that his door is open.." Tala stand there pondering. "What do you think Aeon?"

 

[Aeon Summers]

"If we leave it open so it creates a sort of ledge and place the paint on it, so when it swings open then it will fall on him, just tilt it abit towards the door or it might fall on the wrong side." Aeon explained, unconsciously using hand gestures as he did so.

 

[Tala Ivanov]

Tala nodded..."Aeon...I'm too short to do it" He said looking at the height of the door. "Good things we are skinny enough to slip through the gap in the door." He said chuckling slightly. Maybe he should use a chair?

 

[Aeon Summers]

Aeon walked quickly over to a chair and picked it up. It was heavy but he managed to shuffle over to the door and put it down. He grabbed the door handle and moved the door to the correct angle.
"There we go, The chairs pretty big, You should be able to reach. But be careful." Aeon said, adjusting the chair.

 

[Tala Ivanov]

"Alrighty then...I'll tell you when to pass the paint up" He said stepping up onto the chair. It was a pretty high chair, perfect for this part of the phase. "Alright. I'm ready for the paint." He nodded his thanks when Aeon passed it to him. Very carefully he lifted the bucket, full of bright pink paint, over his head and onto the top of the door. Biting his lip he manovers the bucket into place. Stepping back he breathes a sigh of relief and steps off the chair. "Right we need to put this chair back" He said, grinning widely at Aeon.

 

[Aeon Summers]

Aeon passed the paint up to Tala and watched him place it on the door and get down again, Then let out a sigh when Tala told him to return the chair and reluctantly did so. He heaved it back to its original placed and placed it lightly down. "Ok, Now lets go." He said, walking to the door and quietly slipping out.

 

[Tala Ivanov]

Tala followed him out and grinned madly. "Phase one Complete...now Phase two" He whispered to Aeon before raising his voice "Man...What was up with Styx today...he looked like he had something stuck up his arse" Tala said, winking at Aeon. The idea was to get caught.

 

[Aeon Summers]

Aeon giggled and then said in an equally loud voice. "Doesn't he always look like that?" He was having a hard time controlling his laughter but managed to keep it bottled up.

 

[Tala Ivanov]

Tala almost snorted with laughter at what Aeon said "Ah that is so true. A grumpy old man who has something stuck up his arse" He said, fighting the laughter bubbling up inside him. He knows that this will get them caught.

 

[Aeon Summers]

"Did you see that old geezers hair, It's ridiculous!" Aeon said, throwing his arms in the air.

 

[Professor Kalif Styx]

Kalif walked across the lawn, toward his office for a bit of relaxing. His black robes fluttered in the breeze as he walked. Kalif's grey eyes were darkened slightly by irritation. He had found himself a bit early for a meeting with his son, Jaken. Kalif narrowed his eyes, hearing some children talking, and standing in front of his office. Kalif stood there, and realized that they were insulting him. Are these two boys maroons? They should know well than to insult a man such as myself. Kalif recognized them as first years. He recalled their names, Aeon Summers and Tala Ivanov. Kalif stood there and folded his arms.

Kalif's eyes flashed with anger as he strolled up to them. He remained calm as he addressed them in a cold, dark manner, "What gives you the pleasure of being near my office, when I am not around?" Kalif had plans, and wanted this to scurry by as quick as possible. Kalif found it immature to insult an adult, but he remained calm. His eyes, however, betrayed him, for they showed much anger, and were not the usual gray hue, but a dark gray instead.

 

[Tala Ivanov]

Tala looked up and saw Styx standing there, trying to look calm, but his eyes gave away his anger. Looking up at him innocently Tala said "Nothing Sir" He said elbowing Aeon in the ribs, to stop him from laughing. Oh this was brillant.

 

[Aeon Summers]

"Told you his hair was ridiculous." Aeon whispered to Tala, but loud enough for Styx to hear it.
He was really enjoying this.

 

[Professor Kalif Styx]

Kalif grew displeased with the tone that Ivanov had used. Kalif saw past the innocent look, recognizing it from his own children once they were up to something against his regulations. Kalif's hands balled into fists on his arms, which remained folded on his chest. He didn't know what was going on in front of him, and he was about to get to the bottom of it.

Kalif heard Summers' comment on his hair. Kalif, at first, did not process what was just said. A half second later, he narrowed his eyes. Kalif forced all his will not to pull out his wand or physically harm the foolish child. Kalif said, his voice edging with anger, "You two are asking for a world of trouble unless you explain what exactly is going on." Kalif was not stupid. These two had something planned. Who would dare mess with a man such as himself? A Death Eater as well? No one here knew, of course, but he was aware of the aura that he gave out.

 

[Tala Ivanov]

Tala recognized the power radiating off Styx, and somewhere inside him he was scared, as he knew he should be. But he hid it as well as he could. Tala bravely held his ground..."Honestly Sir...we were just taking a walk around the greenhouses" He said, which was partly true, they were walking around before they came to the office. He knew that tone of voice, they were on thin ice as it was with their teacher. Tala just hoped that Aeon wouldn't give the whole thing away.

 

[Aeon Summers]

Aeon's fear seemed to disappear. He looked at Styx and opened his mouth to speak.
"Yeah Styx, we were just walking around. You just came at the wrong time." He said, His face looking truthful, He was good at lying. He was pretty sure he could deceive anyone, even Styx.
Though In his mind he was still laughing at his hair, Even though his face and eyes didn't show it.

 

[Professor Kalif Styx]

Kalif demanded in a cool manner, though disbelieving Summers, "And what were you doing around the greenhouses? You do not have my class today, thus you shouldn't even be remotely near my area." Kalif stared at the two boys. He didn't blink, and his stare remained stern. He could easily tell if someone lied. He was pretty good at it himself, lying to the faculity when he said that he didn't have an ounce of an idea of the whole ordeal with Headmistress Barker. Kalif said in a low voice, almost hissing, "And it is Professor Styx to you, Summers."

 

[Tala Ivanov]

Tala looked at Styx with his deep blue eyes. "Is it a crime, Professor, to walk around the grounds, to get familiar with it's layout?" He asked smoothly. He, on the inside, was applauding Aeon, he was doing better than he had thought he would, no offense to him. Now they just had to get him into his office. He folded his aarms on his chest, copying Styx, to see the reaction he would get.

 

[Aeon Summers]

"Yeah, It's only natural for students to get familiar with their surroundings, It'd be a bugger to get lost in such a big place Professor Styx." Aeon replied, emphasizing the word Professor, keeping a straight face and the same tone, innocent and truthful, He was trying as hard as he could, This guy was no idiot, but he looked like one.
