I have been wanting to write this story for a while now, ever since I thought random thoughts and this idea popped into my head.
Disclaimer: YES! I WON! J.K. Rowling is handing me all of her writings! I now own all Harry Potter! And now- *wakes up from dream* Darn it.
Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
"I WOULD RATHER KISS THE GIANT SQUID THEN GO OUT WITH YOU!" was the last thing they would hear Lily Evans say. At least, that's what marauders thought. And even worse for James Potter, who was currently rolling around on his four-poster bed in the dead of night. He couldn't sleep no matter how hard he tried; but of course he didn't try. Because he was too busy thinking about his crush's words. If he went to sleep, he would relive that horrible moment again. Dragging Severus into the air without caring about what others thought was not by any means attracting to Lily. His Lily. And once she approached them, she was a fiery flame that seemed to tare through their very souls. For Severus was far more important than James in her mind, he was sure of it. Lily. Lily, the girl I would do anything for. Lily. James Potter hated it that way; how Lily never smiled nor giggled when he came near. But she was the kindest person to everyone else. In fact, she even would smile at the rest of the marauders! And for all James knew, she was most likely doing it to make him jealous. Lily.
He was not very ashamed of himself, though. They were both fifth years. Which meant he still had two years left to convince her mind. And that precise reason was why the great marauders were still the most famous pranksters Hogwarts had ever seen. So James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew continued on with their legacy of pranking. And every once in a while, when one of their fellow marauders was down, or just having a bad day, the cheery souls of the other marauders would often scheme a new prank. No matter what happened, the marauders felt as though nothing could stop them from the joyful day.
Sirius Black was, of course, planning on James's celebration of glory; a new and powerful spell that would knock all the Great Hall's socks off. After all, Sirius was James's best friend out of the four, and Sirius has already had the most experience out of the whole school about pranking. He got it from his family. His pure-blood family. His family who thinks that they are royalty, above all others. His family who loathes him since he is against their views. And that is the reason why Sirius Black was sorted into Gryffindor- and not Slytherin. So obviously he would know of any attempts of his family trying to kill him. So yeah, he could use any of them that didn't feature Unforgivable curses as fantastic pranks. Nobody would know the difference, right?
It just so happens that on that Saturday morning three out of four of the marauders were planning a prank in the Room of Requirement- a place that would fill almost all your needs. Including a library with books about very powerful spells and jinxes. Remus Lupin- also called Moony- was having the time of his life; devouring every book he could get his hands on.
"This is impossible!" Sirius- sometimes called Padfoot- whined. "We'll never find anything amidst all these books! Too much reading!" Sirius was not known for researching; he was even failing almost half of his classes! But he wanted the perfect prank- one that James would never expect. So; researching was necessary.
"We'll find something! We have to!" Peter Pettigrew- also called Wormtail- reassured his friend.
"Here, take a look at this…" Remus exclaimed softly. Just then Sirius snatched the historic book from his hands and peered into its depths.
"Timasakuo Trayeval." Sirius muttered the indication with a flick of his wand in a circular movement. With his quick action, it seemed that he didn't even look to see what the spell's end result would be. "I'm sure this will motivate our minds enough to think of something!" He cheerfully grinned.
"Guys?" Remus nervously stiffened. "Uhh… GUYS!"
"What?! What's wrong?!" Both boys immediately turned on the spot to watch as a pale grey circle in the air started expanding. It was like the wind was parting in a blurring circle that was unbelievable.
"DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?" Remus yelled from in front of the portal. "YOU JUST CREATED A TIME PORTAL!" He cautiously flipped through the pages of the dusty book.
"WELL YOU COULD'VE TOLD US, MOONY!" Sirius raged.
"IT'S TOO LATE FOR THAT NOW, ISN'T IT?!" Peter screamed at them and transformed into a rat; his animagus.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Sirius seemed to be the only one of them who was being dragged into the portal, though. He quickly grabbed the railing on the room's walls that had popped up immediately. The other two were just feeling a bit of wind, but not enough to be sucked into the air like Sirius. Remus and Peter just watched in awe at the sight.
"IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE THE ONE WHO CAST THE SPELL!" Remus exasperated. "IT'S A DARK ARTS SPELL! HOLD ON!" Peter couldn't even purse his lips to get any sound to come out. Just then, the fourth marauder blast open the door with "Alohamora!" and widen his eyes. "PRONGS! HELP US!"
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" James yelled over the strong gusts of wind that came from all around the room. The answer he got from Sirius was, "WHAT DO YOU THINK? NOW WILL YOU HELP ME NOT DIE?!" Sirius was slowly losing his grip on the railing of the wall.
"ACCIO SIRIUS! ACCIO SIRIUS!" But the spell wouldn't work; the winds were too strong. Remus was the one to speak up next.
"I'LL GET MCGONALL! OR DUMBLEDORE! HOLD ON PADFOOT!" Remus ran out of the room to get help from one of the Hogwarts teachers. The three just stared at each other before the winds picked up. "WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME?!" And with that, Sirius was blown into the time portal like a feather swept by a snort of a giant.
"SSSSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSS!" James and Peter screamed in unison.
And with that, the famous pranking Sirius Black was knocked into darkness as he disappeared into the wind-made time portal.
