Flynn hated the ghost that haunted the girls' bathroom. If he had a sickel for every time that girl flooded the bathroom and he had to clean up the wet corridor outside, he would be a millionaire and wouldn't need to still be working at this cruddy school.

With his mop at hand, the man moved it back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. With each movement, his back ached and his keys jingled. "... stupid girl ... not paid enough to clean up after her ... going to take hours to mop up ..." Where were those house-elves? Or one of the kids? He wanted one of them to come by and take care of this mess for him so he could take a nap.

Rula really needed to use the loo. Well, not really, it wasn't like she needed it immediately, but it was better to go sooner rather than later. And the one on the second floor was the closest...

...but based on the water on the floor and the guy mopping out here, that looked like it'd be a problem.

"Myrtle flooded the bathroom again?" Merlin, that ghost had the worst timing, seriously.

*pop*

Pips was in water and his little elf feet were covered. He looked down and whimpered pulling at his ears.

HICCUP


HICCUP

"Oh master and misses Pips didn't mean to put his feat in water, Pips will help clean it up."

He continued to move the mop in switch motions in spite of the fact that small jabs of pain were shooting through his back. Flynn considered dropping his mop on the floor and going to complain to the headmaster. For years that girl haunted the place. Surely something could be done to stop the ghost from making a mess? Peeves and Miffy were enough to clean after.

The mop stopped moving when a female voice sounded. The caretaker's eyes then locked with those of the girl. He stifled a snort from escaping his mouth. Did she seriously just ask that question? "Obviously."

Flynn started to hand the mop over to her, but then one of the house-elves appeared. A smile appeared on the man's face when the creature said he'd clean up the giant puddle of water. "You don't have to tell me twice," he said, handing over the mop. "Have fun."

Without another word he walked off to find a nice, quiet place to take his much-deserved nap.

There had to be something better than a Poltergeist nuptials not that weddings wasn't amazing. They were. two people or in this case poltergeist in love. It was almost like a fairy tale. The reception was fun and the wedding itself was beautiful.

Why should the poltergeist have all the fun this term. They had pitched a fit all term until they got there wedding. The pixies, and the waxed staircase slide and they had gotten what they wanted.

Katerina had a plan... well she kind of had a plan. But she needed help to execute her it.

Katy wasn't LOOKING for her Kat friend, but the moment she saw her, she felt like that was exactly who she'd been hoping to see. She gave a very inappropriately loud squeak and pranced down the hallway to hug!tackle the Hufflepuff.

"What are you DOING here? You shouldn't come above the ground floor or I'll lose you in the big school and you might get turned into a Gryffindor." And ugh. No one wanted that.

So this was the best place for this yes? Right it the middle of the corridor. The second floor corridor, not too much around this side of the corridor, far away from the headmasters office of course.

Just as Katerina was about to head up to the next floor for a accomplice she was suddenly tackled!Hugged by Katty! Yess.. "Katty!" Well now she had a accomplice.

"What?" She let out a snort. She would never be turned into a gryffindor... okay maybe... "I'm finding a place to set these off at." A grin danced across her face as she showed Katty some of the fireworks she had with her.

Once the tackle!hug was successfully executed, Katy let her bestest best friend go. The better to peer into the box of fireworks, obviously, and then Katy peeked back at Kat again with a skeptical look in her eyes.

"You have to be careful with those, right? I mean, Merlin, we get caught setting those off, and we'll end up in detention until we die. So we have to pick the right place and the right time and the right distraction, and then we need to be sure we have a getaway plan." Katy pinched her bottom lip with her thumbs thoughtfully. "Prefect's bathroom?"

Kat was feeling pretty good about her plan, but now she was feeling a bit nervous about it. And the that her bestest Katty best friend gave her only confirmed her nervousness.

She nodded, "I know." She knew and she was always careful with them." distractions? Getaway? I was just goi[ng to run away as fast as I could." This must be why her and Katty are suppose to be friends. Her Slytherin best friend was always there, to keep her in check. She thought of things that Katerina didn't even consider. " Do you know how to get in?" That would be ideal right?

Maybe Katy had been too harsh, because Kat was looking sort of disappointed. She didn't want to be an idea killer. She was an idea BOOSTER, especially fabulous, mischievous prank ideas dreamed up by her best friend. Fireworks were amazing, and somehow Kat had procured a collection. That was no small feat.

"Running away is a plan, though. It's a very wise and good plan." Katy put her hands behind her back and paced off the corridor a little. Another thinking pose. "I don't think we need to get in, by the way. I think we can use the window and blast the fireworks through it... if its open. And then we have plenty of time to get away, because they'll have to come all the way outside."

Katerina had tendency to get a bit... overly dramatic at times. These were one of those times. Or maybe not. She wasn't going let this get her down. Then she realized that Katy was there for her. Of course she was. She smiled and beamed. They were really doing this. It was all thanks to her lovely brother Phillip and lifetime best friend Brady. Hopefully they wouldn't realize there mass loss.

Curiously the blonde watched her Katy best friend, she tilted her head, possibly thinking herself too. Kat paced after her. "Oh yeah... that could work. Let's try it, yeah?" She couldn't help but to regain her mischievous smile again. Please say yes, Katy. Please. Don't make her beg or pout with her bottom lip.

"So here's the problem," Katy stopped in her pacing and turned to face Katerina, her blue eyes big and round. The best way to get through anything was to work out all the issues and possible problems ahead of time, and then when it came time to execute the plan... nothing could go wrong that didn't already have a contingency plan.

"The problem," she repeated, "is how to get the right people into the bathroom and we have to make sure the window is open so we can get the fireworks through without breaking anything. But those are solvable problems. I think you'll have to lure people in, while I wait outside... the window is the problem." She hummed quietly and considered the problem at hand.

Katerina was the brains of the operation, Katty was all about the layout and execution of the project. They truly did work great together. It wasn't any wonder why they were best friends. She stopped pacing and stood face to face with her blonde friend. Her simple foolproof plan would have been a way ticket to detention.

So that was a problem, She could get people in, easily but how to get them to open the window. "So kind of diversion, and we can get to the window to open it?" This was the only idea she had. Her and Phillip always had a diversion, and someone would snatch up some of mum's fresh baked cookies while they were still warm. It always worked for them. Could that work in this situation? Katerina out of habit bit her lip from nerves.
