Young Again

Aeon ducked behind his cousin, glancing across as a Ravenclaw boy yelled out about oppression and professors. Ordinarily he'd have to take a stance against such a thing, but he was in the moment. He was acting like a kid again and hot damn would he get away with it while he could. He threw his fist into the air, shouting out. "Yeah! Fight the system! Woo!" He yelled out. It was only a matter of time before a professor came in, and boy did he want to see one get involved. "Don't let the professors miss out on this!"
 
Whatever was going on over on the tables were of no concern to Willow she just grinned at Skye, "Oh, lots and lots." She said, winking at the girl and looking up when she heard someone yelling for the others to be quiet, she ducked out from under the table, ducking and diving until she got to James. "I'm sure you have this under control, I'll leave you to it!" She headed out of the Great Hall and beckoned to Skye as she went, making all sorts of suggestive gestures with her hands.
​
 
Esme was fuming. She stopped dead by the door, her hair and uniform covered in food. This had been exactly what she was trying to avoid. Slowly, she turned toward the boy who had attacked her, his back now turned from her. In quick steps she moved forward, reaching out to catch him by the collar. "And just where do you think you're going?" She hissed, eyes narrowed into a piercing glare. "Do you know who I am?"
 
James was almost instantly pelted by food as soon as he started shouting. It turned out that the students wanted more havoc it seemed. Ducking behind a table for a moment's peace and quiet, he heard Willow leaving. Why now?! He thought. Couldn't she see it was the wrong moment to leave?! So he pointed his wand at his throat and muttered Sonorous. Getting up once more be began to speak, his words booming around the hall. "THIS IS YOUR PREFECT SPEAKING. THIS WILL STOP NOW, THE PROFESSORS HAVE BEEN CALLED. I WOULD STOP BEFORE THEY ARRIVE." He hoped nobody would call his bluff, but he guessed teachers must be on their way after all the noise anyway.
 
Desideratus yelped as his collar was grabbed, and beside himself, began laughing right in her face. He was on a high, and her glares (especially with oatmeal sliding down her uniform) did very little to intimidate him. Reaching behind him, he grabbed a muffin, and attempted to press it into her face as best he could. "Muffin face!" Once she was thoroughly smeared, he continued laughing at her, completely ignoring that loud voice being all boring and stuff. Silly prefects.
​
 
When Orwell spotted the prefect asking what they were doing, he could only imagine what they might do to him, he watched a student he didn't know throw jam at the boy and then at Orwell, Orwell didn't like the fact he had food thrown at him, and could only watch as the prefect got more food thrown at him, "Don't hit the prefect, he is only a product of the system, he only does what he believes he must, it is not his fault, the professor are the problem!" he was yelling to them, trying to make the people throwing food to target properly. When someone else said fight the system, Orwell threw his fist into the area in a sign of solidarity, "Target the professors, make them know how angry you feel, don't them oppress your expressive freedom! No Surrender, NO PASARAN!" he called out, fist still raised, if this sparked a change then it would be worth it. He was always looking for people to join the cause, and he was prepared to fight back at every opportunity during this and subsequent years.
​
 
Veronica jumped from the table and rushed over to the Ravenclaw boy who was yelling about fighting the system. "Yeah, sounds great, take these!" She dumped a bunch of food in front of him before standing near him and magically throwing small splattering raspberries at everyone. "FIGHT THE SYSTEM!"
​
 
Apparently the Prefect didn't get her message of Jam to the face and went to use a Sonorus charm to stop the Havok, Knowing she is a Professor she shouldn't use spells on student's she only had a limited amount of time for this potion and she wanted to get the most out of it she could. Pulling her wand from her pocket she aimed her wand at James quickly uttered the words 'Silencio' to silence him from more yelling and then performed the Trip Jinx on him causing him to fall over quickly tucking her wand away she continued to deflect food with her Banana. 'FOR HOGWARTS!' she yelled as a form of battlecry.
 
As soon as Willow turned up Skye had lost all interest in the food fight. The ravenclaw was the only thing she was focused on. She blushed when Willow suggestively told her she was in lots of trouble and winked, that got the young Gryffindor's mind racing. Suddenly there was a lot of shouting for everyone to stop and Skye looked up to see James the Gryffindor prefect attempting to calm things down. Willow had seen this too and took the chance to sneak out and leave the problem to James. Skye was disappointed that she had left for a brief moment before Willow began to beckon for her to follow. Skye didn't need convincing and was already sneaking out of the great hall when Willow began to make all kinds of suggestive hand gestures. Skye's cheeks almost went as bright as her hair.
 
The professors had been called? Reuben decided that was his cue to get the hell out of there. He tugged at Rudolf's sticky sleeve, urging him to follow, and then began crawling underneath the Gryffindor table, weaving in and out of people's legs. The door suddenly seemed an awfully long way away.
 
What? No way was Rudolf leaving! He hadn't had this much fun since he'd put dung bombs in his dad's wellington boots. Wiping the syrup and scrambled eggs from his face, he pulled from Reuben's grasp and continued throwing food. Coward! "FOR GRYFFINDOR!" he yelled.
 
Almost as soon as he'd spoken, James felt himself fall flat on his face, most likely by a tripping jinx as nobody else was nearby. Covered by the table once again, James noticed people trying to make for the door. Wanting to implicate everyone, James pointed his wand at it and muttered Colloportus. That should stop the people leaving. Now he had to sort out the ringleaders. Assuming it was the two students on the top of the table, James got up and pointed his wand at the first, before muttering the babbling hex. That should help distract her, he thought. Then he shot red sparks in the air, hoping to alert the students that authority was here.
 
Esme gritted her teeth as the wretched boy she held reacted only by pushing a muffin into her face. She was going to kill him, she was going to absolutely murder him right then and there. "You filthy beast. I will f***ing end you." She screamed, reaching for her wand and raising it, getting ready to cast the most powerful, most vicious spell she had in her arsenal. One thing she was certain of, he would be spending months in St Mungo's. That was, until someone grabbed her by the arm and pulled her away. She locked eyes with the familiar face, and her jaw dropped.
 
Suit yourself, thought Reuben as his twin refused to follow. Before long he'd made it to the door. He stood up, twisting the brass handle with a slimy hand, only to find it was locked. Oh, no! To make matters worse, he was only feet away from the furious looking Slytherin who'd served the twins at Ollivanders. Unsure whether to laugh or cry, Reuben ducked back under the table and crawled back over to Rudolf. If they were going down, they were going down together.
 
Aeon was in the zone. He threw anything he could find, not discriminating when it came to who was pelted with food. The Ravenclaw shouted again, and Aeon echoed it, though slightly off. "Yeah! NO PARMESAN!" He yelled out, throwing up a fist full of cheese. He flicked out his wand briefly, casting a charm upon a pile of jam, which duplicated at an increasing pace along the floor, making it much harder to run through. "The floor is jam!" He laughed, jumping across the table. He glanced around the room, looking for his next target, and his eyes locked onto his younger cousin, a boy in her grasp and a wand in her hand. Oh, no. Esme. He thought, ditching the fist full of food and diving toward the Slytherin, He pulled her away, dragging her off to the side of the room. "Hey, calm down. It's okay, it's me. Look at me." She had too many issues with aggression, he couldn't have her injuring someone.
 
Reuben was back. "Ditcher!" hissed Rudolf, pressing a handful of scrambled eggs and ham into his brother's face. Then he hid behind him, using him as a meat shield for the onslaught of fruit and jam.
 
Watching the Door's seal she scoffed, using her bruised Banana she threw it to the Prefect hoping to hit his wand. Noticing the wand in her direction she whipped out her wand and deflected the Hex. Impressed with the boy's bravery though she made a mental note on that, not every student is willing to use spells on another. Kida instantly moved down the table and found some untouched food to start throwing, by now she had food through her hair and all over her uniform, for a brief moment she remembered that she would have to clean it up but the thought escaped her, Aeon had caused the Jam to multiply and the room began to turn into a Jam swimming pool, Kida wondered if the prefect now regretted sealing the doors. 'This appears to be turning into a sticky Situation' she yelled at Aeon.

James could hear the commotion from the Great hall from half way across the castle. A food fight, of all things to have to break up. As he made his way down to the ground floor he thought of the food fights he had when he was in school, it would be a shame to punish the kids for having some fun but he was a Professor and he had to do his job. As he understood the doors were sealed to stop kids from escaping so that would be his first job, getting in. The professor took out his wand and waved it and entered the hall. He cleared his throat and held his wand against his neck to amplify his voice. "THAT IS ENOUGH!" He shouted having to duck to avoid a piece of toast. "FUNS OVER, THE REST OF THE STAFF ARE ON THEIR WAY. I HOPE YOU ALL HAD FUN TODAY BECAUSE YOU'LL BE PAYING FOR THIS THE REST OF THE YEAR, YOU WILL HAVE SO MANY DETENTIONS YOU'LL FORGET WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO GO OUTSIDE."
 
This was getting wild. Taking little notice of Aaron with Esme in the corner, Veronica turned on her fellow System destroyer and dropped a handful of raspberries into his shirt before skidding across the jam and landing on her hands and knees. "Sticky situation?! Good one, Kadi!" She yelled as she noted that there was a prefect on the floor and many other students now involved. Then a Professor arrived. "FIGHT THE SYSTEM!" She yelled, lifting a hand full of jam and aiming it at the Professor's head.
​
 
James felt a surge of relief as the doors burst open and a professor strode in. About time, he thought. The fight had just started getting worse, and this needed to end. Walking over to Professor Woodlock, he added his authority to the scene, hoping that the jam covering him wasn't totally ruining the effect.
 
Still in the moment, a piece of toast left Desideratus' hands as the professor entered, and smiled meekly at him as it was avoided. He was in so much trouble. Best make a run for it. He began trying to sneak away during his yelling.
​
 
"Go, go, go, go!" hissed Reuben frantically, turning whiter than the egg on his face. Unfortunately, he'd overlooked one rather important detail. There was nowhere to go. Even if they waded through the jam river to the end of the hall, they would surely be stopped by a professor. Their only hope was to act innocent. Reuben quickly explained his plan.
 
Orwell was beginning to think he was probably going to get into so much trouble for what he was doing, while he wasn't technically throwing any food he was definitely not helping things, and as soon as a professor walked into the room, Orwell felt his heart give a small leap. The immediately started yelling, and claiming that they'd all have detention until they forgot what it was like outside, "YOU HEAR THAT?" he shouted to the students, "We can not express ourselves without the heavy arm of authority stripping us of more of our rights as people!" he was shouting, being as loud as he could without any spells, "WE CAN NOT HAVE FUN, WE CAN NOT BE OURSELVES" he continued, "They want us to be perfect students, to never question, to just fit perfect into the system which is destroying our planet, which destroys what makes us individuals! They do not care about us, they care about keeping the destructive system of capitalism moving. HE IS THE SYSTEM! FIGHT THE SYSTEM! EXPRESS YOURSELVES! NO SURRENDER, NO PASARAN!"
​
 
The room started filling up with Jam, Carolina groaned and sat silently as the Jam started to rise around her crossed legs. Carolina picked up a Donut which had attached itself to her uniform 'I Donut belong her' she said. huffing.
 
Brilliant! Rudolf tried not to grin too suspiciously as the twins crawled out from beneath the table and sprinted across the jam toward Professor Woodlock. "Sir, sir!" said Rudolf, forcing a few tears to his eyes. "We tried to stop them - but it was too late! We had to hide under a table and everything!"
