Ranko hummed happily as she read a large book. Now anyone from Nerima would immediately start asking questions, mostly as to how the hell was RANKO the reborn uber powerful utterly hyper martial artist able to sit still long enough to read a large book? Well the answer is, she wasn't still.
She was actually very excited and if not for her current exercise would be bouncing off the walls and scaring the ever loving crap out of motorists by outrunning their cars or playing chicken with a train. A bad habbit she picked up and had to break at eight. She was hovering while reading a book on jinxes curses, and hexes. Not precisely course material but close enough. 'Especially if that greasy git Snape gets on my case one more time.' she thought bitterly as she looked through the steps of a bat boogey hex. Nasty, but too direct.
The exercise itself was in multiple parts, first she was keeping calm by reading, secondly she was cloaked under the Umensiken so she was invisible to the naked eye. Finally she was hovering with her now very large light blue wings flapping in near total silence. Not that some flapping would have been noticed as she was just outside an owllry window. Thirteen now, she was starting to fill out a little, well alot compared to other girls her age.
Apparently some sort of Monster was stalking the school and Ranko couldn't wait to give it an Anything Goes Style curb stomping!
"Hey Bird Girl!" a voice said behind her scaring her.
"Gah!" she shouted nearly dropping her book but dropping her cloaking field and taking the time to smack the redhead right between the eyes with a wing. "Fred! Don't godsdamned scare me like that! How the hell do you keep sneaking up on me anyways!? Or see through my cloaking for that matter!?" she demanded as he backed up to allow her through the window. With a ripple of effort she hid her wings in ki pockets like Mu-Tsu taught her.
"Now that would be telling Bird Girl." George said from behind her and dodging the kick he knew was coming.
"Stop doing that! One of these days I swear I'll make you two tell me how you keep doing that!" she half shouted annoyed at the two boys her own age.
"Actually we thought..." started Fred.
"That today would be..." Continued George.
"A very good day..." Fred said.
"To show you..." George said.
"Our Secret!" they both said at once and Ranko smacked her forehead at their antics but grinned. It was about bloody time! They brought out a piece of parchment with a flourish and put their wands on it. "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good!" they announced and ink appeared introducing itself as the Marauder's Map.
"You see Bird Girl you really tipped us off when you dive bombed from the twentieth floor to the second and soared onwards." Fred began smiling and Ranko smacked her forehead. If these clowns had a map like this then it would be no problem for someone who took things seriously to figure out her feather covered secret.
"Don't you worry though, this little wonder is one of a kind!" George said and Ranko gave a sigh of relief. When these two confronted her six months into the first year about her flying she had panicked thinking about being magically bound to a dissection table while Snape pulled out a scalpel.
"However we were wondering..."
"If you'd be willing..."
"to help us..."
"and yourself..."
"get even with Snape!" The twins said switching on and off then speaking together at the end again and Ranko grinned. Now they were speaking her language! That greasy prick needed a good hard shot in the nuts and damned if it wasn't Griffindor to give it!
