Erin looked at Alice's dress, it was pretty she had to admit and of course it was green, her favourite colour. But if she was being truthfully honest with herself, dresses were not her cup of tea at all. She couldn't even remember the last time she had been forced into a dress by her mum.
She took her spear with a quick thank you and was dissapointed to see the edges rounded off, so it was one of 'those' fights then. She sighed and twirled her wand while she muttered the in-cantation.
She watched in amazement as her hair was tugged back into a long ponytail so it wouldn't get it the way, her clothes twitched and then changed into a white tunic that sinched in at the waist and three quarter sleeves that clung to her skinny arms so they wouldn't get in the way, earthy brown leggings with bare feet. She had always been more comfortable running in bare feet, and she wasn't worried about anyone stepping on her toes, cause they would have to catch her first and the boys wouldn't have a chance of doing that.
Not unless she let them.
She knew really that her outfit would be different from the dresses the other girls would wear but honestly she didn't care. She wouldn't be hindered by the billows of cloth that made up the old-style dresses.

"We look awesome!" said Alice happily twirling one of her arrows in her hands flying it around.
"Ok so for our plan of attack" whispered Alice to the other girls once they were in a huddle, truthfully most of the girls were wearing and assortmant of middle ages outfits it was a definte mixture.
"Any idea's Queen Pen or Lady Erin" asked Alice smiling at her friends who looked awesome in there outfit's as well.
Every one was busy planning away laughing and joking about beating the boys
Erin looked dissapointed with her weapon with edges rounded off Alice laughed.
"you can still hurt people with that" laughed Alice re-calling the amount of bruises that she had sustained and given Erin when they were little and played sword fighting

"i no, i remember our old games we used to play with plastic muggle swords" she laughed then fell into her strategic frame of mind
"Right, I say we go full into it, split them up so they're easier to pick off, or magic, Petrificus totalus them then hit them with our swords," Erin said thoughtfully, talking to no-one in particular just voicing her ideas out loud.
"But would that be too easy, do you think?"
"What do you think queen Pen?" She asked

"yep" said Alice rubbing and old bruise on her head she swore it still hurt "I always remember October falling in the river" she laughed.
"I think thats a good idea but we need to think strategy as well, we'll need a decent amount of people gaurding Penelope, as she's the queen she'll be the one they are trying to attack the most I'm guessing, so if we use your idea Erin and split into, I don't know four groups, me Ginny, Erin and Pen will command them what ever weapons you have deicide which groups your in, so archers are with me, spear people with Erin we want body gaurds and a small army with Pen and daggers and swords with Ginny, Ok" said Alice.
"archers will remain hidden an unseen prescense like assasins and we can have a smaller group hidden around the main battle feild firing when ever we can" said Alice "the main group of archers stays with me though" said Alice.
"what are the plans for your groups?" Alice asked the others

"yea i remember that," she laughed, "and when my sister tried to follow us and got lost in the trees, silly muggle."
"Hmmm, i think the we will wait untill the archers have picked off most of the goblins, then we will rush out and take out as many as we can before Pens group comes out." Erin said thoughtfully.
"We will rush out in a wide circle and surprise the goblins and box them in so they can't excape." She ended, literally thrumming with excitement now, her speech was starting to speed up and she kept bouncing on the heels of her feet.

Penelope laughed quietly when Professor Anthony called her "Queen Penelope", 'What have I signed myself up for?' she thought to herself but was sure that she'd enjoy every minute of it. When Professor Anthony handed her the weapon and shield that would be hers, she looked them over. The size of her sword was amazing.
"I would tie your wand to the end of your sword," Professor Anothony whispered, and Penelope nodded. When he stated that they would be also going into costume, Penelope was nervous. She had no idea what a Queen would wear in battle.
She watched as first Alice and then Erin were transformed. Alice's dress and hair were beautiful, green was definately Alice's color. Erin's outfit was more than likely the cutest she had ever seen. It was sure to stand out since mostly all the other girls would probably be in dresses.
Penelope let out a sigh and took a deep breath and repeated the instructed spell "Changius Historuxiem!" She said.
She closed her eyes while the spell was taking place. Once it was over she openned her eyes and looked down at what she was wearing. The dress was a deep scarlett color which didn't surprise Penelope because they said that red was a color of power, and the color alone did make her feel stronger. The sleeves were long but fitting around her arms so that there was no chance to get them caught on anything. The neckline was square and went straight into the bodice. The skirt of the dress was very long, but not long enough for Pen to trip over. On her feet were red and black boots. Penelope loved the dress.
She quickly moved her hands up to her hair to feel how it was styled. A small portion of her hair was braided from front to back, and hidden under the rest of her hair that was left down and wavy. She also noted that on her forehead was a small headband.
She twirled around and smiled at her friends, "Does this look okay?" She asked. She couldn't wait for the boys to get the ball rolling, she wanted to see how Kain looked.
After the fun part was over, she listened intently as Alice and Erin talked strategy. She didn't like the idea of having to have guards, but she supposed it was important for the game. Of course the archers would be attacking first, she thought Erin's idea was brilliant.
"But I'm not sure I like the idea of staying behind while you all have most of the fun. Shouldn't the queen be in the lead? I mean, as long as the archers remain on guard, there's no real danger. We should aim for the most dangerous first. And we definately need to keep our wands ready. Mine's going to be tied to the end of my sword. Too bad Umbridge didn't see fit to teach us any real spells last class cause we could sure use them here."

Alice smiled "oh gosh Pen that dress looks amasing I like your hair its really pretty" she said happily. Alice grinned "ok fair enough, you can lead us into battle then". "my archers can take out the the first set of goblins whle you guys think of a cunning plan to win"suggested Alice as she swished her wand swapped the plungers on the end of her of her bow and arrow for bean bags that would knock the victim to the ground and hopefully stun them for a short while.

"We could put sticking charms to the arrows so that when they hit the 'goblins' the goblins will be stuck where they fall." Penelope suggested.
"I also agree with Erin though that we should find some way to circle around the enemy, this way we can take them on from all sides. Erin.. your squad should attack from the back with a few extra archers if we have them. Most of the archers should attack from the sides since Ginny's squad and mine will be attacking from the front.. after the archers take out the biggest threats of course." Penelope continued, thinking.
"Does that sound okay?" She asked.

Alice smiled evily "heck yeah, the boys won't know what them. but i think just to show them up at the end you should have a sword fight with the leader of the boys group, once we have him cornered of course" said Alice "but if something goes wrong we'll be ready to step in and stop him" said Alice.

"Sounds good to me!" Erin said as the girls finished refining their plan, this was going to be absolutely immense.
"Erm Mr Anthony, i think we're ready to go outside now." She gave her wolfish smile to the teacher and grinned over to the boys to see if they had finished planning their strategy.
They hadn't.

Penelope was now extremely excited. Who knew that History of Magic could be so much fun? "I love that idea Alice! I wonder who the Goblin King is going to be. It would be funny if their transformation spell turned them into goblins. Can you imagine a goblin with Kain's hair? Don't get me wrong, I like his hair..but on a Goblin it would look funny." She said, unable to keep from laughing.

Anthony Thorn stood at the front of the class, once again about to speak.
He began to draw the playing feild on the chalk board.
"As we know the goblin wars were all about the goblins rebelling because they believed they had true owner ship over the beautiful creations they made" started Anthony "So on either side of the pitch in each teams base will be hidden some treasure, in the goblins side it is treasure they have stolen from the wizards and on the wizards side its the goblins treasure stolen by the wizards" He smiled.
"each team will also have a jail any one caught by a member of the opposing team once they have left there home base will have to go to jail and can only be released if a team member from their own team sets them free, you have weapons to fight with so if you are faced with an enemy you have a chance to defend yourself and get away, also if you feel you cannot fight you can always run away back to your base back to safety but thats only if you can out run your enemy".
"Any questions?" he asked his students, he looked over to the goblins they had slight worried expression.
"Don't worry the transformation spell will not turn you into goblins" said Proffesor Thorn "You'll just get pointy ears and middle age clothes, you won't shrink or look like a goblin so relax guys" he said.

Kyle watched the display as Penelope was "crowned" queen. He scoffed at the idea. Seeing her laugh with her friends as they whispered their strategies made his blood boil. He listened to his own team mates as they tried to decide who the captain of their team would be.
He was about to speak up saying that he should be the captain, but Gryffin's loud annoying voice filled his ears.
"I think Kain should be the captain," Gryffin yelled.
"No way, Draco should be the captain," Goyle and Crabbe fussed.
Kyle rolled his eyes, of course Malfoy and Winters would go for the captain role. Malfoy was much like him and preferred to be in the lead. Winters though, Kyle didn't see Kain as someone who would volunteer on his own to be captain.

Alice laughed along with penelope "he'd look like a troll doll" she giggled. "honestly i can't wait. Gryffins voice echoed the room. Also the fussy and gruntish voices of crabbe and goyle who wanted draco to be in charge. "i see the boys are arguing over leader ship" laughed Alice they were completly clueless!

Penelope giggled, "I know.. poor Kain. He's just standing there. Kyle looks like he wants to kill someone. My poor cousin." she giggled.
"Hmm, maybe we should have one or two people waiting near the Goblin jail incase anyone gets captured. What do you think? I'd like to have all bases covered." Penelope stated.
