They are also known for their pranks on students from other houses and some of their pranks broke Hogwarts rules.

## History

### 1992-1993 School Year

Leland Evans and his cousin from Zimbabwe named Julia Evans were on the Hogwarts Express and they met Flora Carrow, Hestia Carrow, and Basil Reid on the train.

When they got to Hogwarts, Leland, Julia, Flora, Hestia, and Reid made friends with Sadie Baldock, Demarcus Bradley, Ethan Chukwunyere, Edward Harper, Sourav Kartik, Sylvia Melville, Titus Mitcham, Nerys Orpington, and Poonima Shah. All of them had a thing in common which was that they disliked working with Muggles, Squibs, and Muggle-borns. They were all sorted into Slytherin in 1992, Bringing their friendship to an alliance.

### 1993-1994 School Year

On October 13, 1993, Julia Evans, Demarcus Bradley, Sourav Kartik, Sylvia Melville, and Nerys Orpington saw blood and went over to Scabbers and then Julia picked him up. All five escaped to the third floor. Hamish Knighton, a Hufflepuff told Gryffindor Head Boy Percy Weasley and Ravenclaw prefect Penelope Clearwater about the theft. As Julia, Bradley, Kartik, Melville, and Orpington were entering the Charms Corridor, Percy and Penelope stopped them and made Julia give him Scabbers. Percy Weasley and Penelope Clearwater took the five down to Professor McGonagall’s study. Harshly disappointed and extremely angry with Julia, Bradley, Kartik, Melville, and Orpington, she told all five of them off before punishing them severely; a loss of six points from Slytherin each, 30 in total, and detention. McGonagall then asked Percy and Penelope to take Scabbers to Hagrid’s Hut so that Ron can get him.

On October 14, 1993, Leland Evans had one of his spiders Arachne in his pocket. He, Basil Reid, and the Carrow twins Flora and Hestia went up to the Second Floor Corridor and landed Arachne on Ron Weasley’s head. Ron was confused at first until Gerald Vickers, a Ravenclaw student walked up and told Ron there was a spider and went to Professor McGonagall without saying a word. Ron panicked and freaked out but Leland, Reid, Flora, and Hestia laughed. A tabby cat came to distract him, as they began to pet it, the cat went up the ramp and turned into a human that was no other than Professor McGonagall. She got the spider off of Ron and gave the spider to one of the four Slytherins. Utterly furious at this unworthy trickery, she deducted seven points each from Slytherin, 28 in total, and put all four of them in detention.

On October 15, 1993, Julia, Bradley, Kartik, Melville, and Orpington were in detention at he same time and in the same room as Leland, Reid, and the Carrow twins Flora and Hestia. While they were doing their detention in Lupin’s office, McGonagall collected the Hogsmeade permission forms from the Third-Years.

On March 15, 1994, Leland Evans and his cousin Corvus Yaxley decided to play Gobstones. On March 1994, Corvus Yaxley and his cousin Leland decided to play Gobstones. They went into the Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom to play. As it was Leland’s turn or as it was during the second round, Moaning Myrtle got mad and asked what they were doing. Corvus responded that they were playing Gobstones. Myrtle asked them to leave but both Corvus and Leland refused. Then Myrtle went into her stall. After the second round, Beatrice Haywood, a Hufflepuff student in her sixth year walked in on them and both Corvus and Leland chose to ignore it and keep playing. Then, Beatrice went to tell Emily Hitchcock, the Hufflepuff prefect who had a quill stolen by Cedric Diggory in 1991. Emily Hitchcock caught them. Emily yelled at them for a few minutes and was extremely angry that she yelled at them to put the game away, took 5 points off from Slytherin for using the girls bathroom, took another one point for sneaking games into a prohibited area. She made the two leave and threatened to take the game away if she ever caught them again.

## Associations with others

All members of the gang are also members of Draco Malfoy’s gang because they meet each other once in a while. Leland Evans, Basil Reid, Flora Carrow, and Hestia Carrow made friends with Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe, and Gregory Goyle but the four were sometimes seen hanging out with Crabbe and Goyle either with or without Malfoy.
