Remus, You Killed Prongsie!
"MOOOOONY!!" wailed Sirius, bursting into the Gryffindor dormitories, tears streaming down his handsome face.
"Sirius!" cried Remus, sitting upright on his bed and chucking his book aside. "What's the matter?" Sirius jumped onto Remus' bed, took a deep breath and burst into tears again! Remus shifted, somewhat uncomfortably, and waited for Sirius to stop crying. "Deep breaths, Padfoot. Deep breaths."
Once Sirius had eventually calmed down, Remus tried again; "Ok Padfoot, what happened?"
Sirius, still apparently shook up from whatever the hell was going on, tried to speak through his sobs but didn't make a very good job of it! Remus only managed to catch a handful of words and pieced them together…
"Full moon…Prongsie…bitten…dead!"
Remus paused for a moment – then it clicked "WHAT?!"
"Come see!" shouted Sirius, now recovered from his sobbing. He jumped from the bed and ran full speed at the bathroom door! Remus watched in amazement as the 17 year old headered the bathroom door, rebounded off it and started to whirl madly in the middle of the room!
"Sirius, what the f -?"
"Woah!" said Sirius, shaking his head frantically "I could of sworn that door was open two seconds ago!"
"Sirius, were you trying to run out of the room?"
"Yeah! Why?"
"Wrong door."
"Oh…what?"
Remus simply pointed straight ahead of him at the slightly ajar dormitory door.
"Well bless my socks! It was the wrong door! Follow me then Moony -"
Remus had suddenly remembered why Sirius was had started running into doors – James. He must have bitten him at the last full moon! However, Sirius seemed to be in quite a good mood considering what had just happened, maybe it was the blow to the head which did it!
Fear and panic scraped at Remus' insides as she shot down the spiral staircase and into the Gryffindor common room. There was a body, lay sprawled on the floor, with a head of black, scruffy hair. James. Dead. Oh God. NO!
"James?" Remus dropped to his knees beside his best friend's body. "Prongs?" He slowly turned the body over and saw…
…yellow?
Remus' vision was suddenly obscured by a sticky, yellow mass. "What the…?" Remus scraped the yellow substance from his face to see James grinning at him and holding what looked like a deodorant can in his hand. But Remus had a sneaky suspicion that it was something worse. Something far, far worse!
"String in a can!" James shouted happily as Sirius stood in the corner, doubled up with laughter.
"What?" spluttered Remus, picking pieces of yellow from his hair and throwing them at Sirius.
"String in a can!" repeated James, scooting some into the air and allowing it to land on his head. "Lily brought me it back from her holiday in…what's up Moony? You look a little confused!"
"Yeah…Sirius said that -" Remus looked from one grinning face to the other.
"April Fools!" They chimed. "Told ya we'd get you this year!"
Remus stared at them for a moment, giving the penny some time to drop…"Oh, you bastards!"
James and Sirius laughed then proceeded to spray each other with 'string in a can'!
Remus watched them for a moment feeling thoroughly stupid! Six years he'd lasted without them managing to prank him on this day! This day! James and Sirius' favourite day of the year; the 1st of April.
Suddenly, Remus' eyes darted to the corner where he spotted James' broom and invisibility cloak. His turn…
A/N: Happy April Fools day everyone! Hope you managed to prank someone just like James and Sirius did!
