All Quackity wants is to kill Dream right now.
He is standing in the middle of the Ravenclaw common room in his Slytherin uniform which earns him a lot of side eyes, curious glances and whispering.
If only he didn't lost that bet.
"What are you doing here Quackity?" Quackity almost had a heart attack as he turn around to see the well known Prefect of the Ravenclaw house, Technoblade.
The infamous older brother of the troublemaker of the Griffindor House, Wilbur Watson and the mysterious long time crush he has that no one wasn't able to guess, which he will never tell anyone especially his housemates, he will take it to his grave.
He had a few encounter with the man that didn't end very nicely, Techno saved him from one or two—okay maybe six pranks gone wrong situation that ended him getting scolded by the Ravenclaw Prefect since their Prefect which is that dumbass Dream is too busy flirting with his Hufflepuff big brother, George who is mostly asleep 16 hours a day, no one even knows how that man passed 3rd year when all he had done was sleep all year round.
"Do you know him Techno?, he's been standing there for 20 minutes, even i am starting to get tired looking at him. At least let the man sit or I will tackle him."
"Come and take a sit or you'll probably make my housemates more uncomfortable for standing too long. They don't like too much standing."
"Thank you."
"So, why are you up here in the tower?"
"Well, you see i lost a bet and Dream thought it would be funny to sneak into the Ravenclaw house and just stand in the middle of their common room for an hour."
It was not a joke, Dream did all the way to solving the passcode just so he can sneak in and stand in the middle of another house's common room, he doesn't even know what Dream expected to happen.
"That's why you've been standing there? Joel thought you turn into stone and almost called a professor" Techno almost dropped his prefect facade and laughed at the ridiculous bet that got him almost call a professor.
Quackity who got a little too comfortable in the couch, started to tell stories about Dream being a simp to his brother, to the point that if his brother asked him to jump the astronomy tower he will.
"I know that, I think his name is George, he's your brother? he's been whipped by that man since first year, finally got the courage to confess on our third year, thanks to Wilbur who released a boggart on the Hufflepuff common room that Dream and I had to defeat because the professors had a meeting, and that man didn't help just flirted with the half asleep Hufflepuff. I almost died."
"I also get a little out of place when Karl and Sapnap started flirting, it's like I'm not even part of the group."
"True, whenever Wilbur and Schlatt is in the area i just walk the other way."
"Wilbur and Schlatt?"
"They get heated up over small things, Hannah calls it 'sexual tension'"
Some of the Ravenclaw students who finally either got out of their recent hyperfixication or just bored out of their mind, came and sat around the two. They like to gather around when they're not doing anything, listening to random stories and gossips, totally opposite of the so called 'straight lace strict Ravenclaw'
"So this snake is not lost? I thought someone casted petrified on him and left him at our door." Joel who just returned from his date with his girlfriend said when he noticed the junior Slytherin sitting comfortably in their couch.
"I'm sorry about that, Dream made some dumb bets and i lost."
"No worries everyone makes bad decision." Joel shrugged before sitting on the floor next to where Illumina was lying.
"And accept dumb bets."
"I remember doing a bet with Tapl once and almost got detention."
"That wasn't a bet Fruit, i told you not to swim in the lake and guess what you did? Yes, swam in the lake and who had to save you from the mermaids? Me!"
Quackity laughed remembering a story about students swimming at their lake and getting caught by the mermaids. It was hilarious but since that happened the lake became off limits to everyone, so the chance to be able to swim in it was slim to none.
"That was you?! God, they told every single first year students about the danger of swimming in the lake because some stupid students can't follow the rule and that was you?!" Quackity chortled.
"It was a nightmare, i have to stay with the first years to tell them such obvious things like not swim in the lake because of this two."
"Wow, like the great Technoblade didn't share the same shenanigans before he became a prefect."
"You're not part of the conversation, Hannah"
"I am now." The brown haired woman turn to look at Quackity before beaming a smile.
"OOOOOOOOH, Isn't this the annoying but cute Slytherin that the great Technoblade doesn't shut about?"
"You talk about me?"
"I don't."
"Oh sure you don't." Illumina whispered
"Yeah sure you don't." Tapl just rolled his eyes.
"Totally." Hannah replied in a bland tone.
"Yeah sure he doesn't." Followed by the other students around the common area, that may or may not be at least ten people if Quackity counted right.
"You do talk about me! Did my charm finally caught your eyes? I've been trying to flirt with you for the past two years"
Hannah who was making a nest at their feet just rolled her eyes "If only you know how many times we've been telling him."
"It's getting late, you should return back to your room."
"But i want to hear more about Technoblade shenanigans!"
"No!"
Quackity turned to the woman, Hannah, if he remembers correctly, with pleading looks that she totally understand as she started shouting,
"YES!! Tapl has a lot of stories!!"
Tapl next to her looks like he's just excited to tell great stories and just sat in the middle of the room across the fireplace.
"Who's up for story time?!"
Quackity saw how the supposedly strict house ran into random places across the room holding either a blanket, a pillow, a coffee cup and Teddybears just for a random story telling.
He doesn't even remember a time where their house get at least seven people in one place.
First year students was a bit curious and joined the fun while the junior and seniors just started telling stories one by one.
Quackity laughed all night at the stories, even the first years was amazed at the stories and some even wants to be a prefect like Techno.
From him using the Labyrinth to hogsmead to prank Dream and his brother, to him fighting a boggart that his brother 'accidentally' released, to him accidentally starting the great food fight of 2019 and him winning the Tri-wizard tournament twice and winning the Quidditch championship three times. It was a fun night for everyone.
Quackity didn't even remember to return to his dorm that night and just cuddle up to the Ravens in their common room. No one returned to their specific rooms and just formed a pile near the fireplace.
Quackity will never tell anyone in his house how this bet changed his views on the strict Ravens.
He was also able to ask Techno out which surprisingly went well. Techno's friends who happened to hear started planning their future dates for them, it was embarrassing but worth it.
He even entertained the idea of thanking Dream on that idiotic bet he gave him.
---------------
In the Slytherin house, Dream and his friends are still waiting for Quackity to comeback when he received a letter from his boyfriend that just said
"Good job."
He was confused but at least he got a good job? For what? And why is George still awake?
