"I'm boredddd!" Sirius complained for what must have been the millionth time. He and Remus were studying in the Gryffindor common room, while James was helping Peter with homework in the library.

"Nothing good ever comes out of you being bored Padfoot." Remus replied. "Except a prank that's funny until we all get in trouble for it."

"I wouldn't mind getting in trouble for a prank." Sirius groaned. "At least it would be something to do!"

"Fine then," Remus said closing his book, knowing that he wouldn't get any more studying done while Sirius was complaining about being bored. "What do you propose we do?"

"Err…" Sirius said. He hadn't really thought of anything to do, seeing as how he hadn't expected Moony to give in so easily. "Prank the Slytherins?" He phrased this as a question.

"Well of course." Remus said in an exasperated tone. "I was hoping for something a little more specific." He said, crossing his legs.

"I don't know; let's just go hex Snivellus or something." Sirius said. "I just want to go do something."

"No, no, no." Remus said. "If we're going to get detention for something, it'll at least be worth getting detention for."

Sirius' face was priceless as he stared at his friend in amazement. He had never condoned their pranks! And now he was planning one! Well Sirius was not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, so he listened attentively as Remus went on with his plans.

"Well first we have to decide who we're going to prank. I was thinking not Snivellus, since we prank him a lot, and it's starting to lose its novelty. "

"Ok then." Sirius said rather surprised. He hadn't known that Moony thought their pranks had ever had any novelty. "So a Slytherin we haven't pranked before." He continued. "Not my brother. My mom would murder me."

Remus nodded his head sympathetically. "Alright then." He said gesturing for Sirius to continue.

"How about…ooh I got it! Let's prank Malfoy!" He said getting more excited the longer he thought about it. It was perfect! "He needs to be taken down a notch!"

Remus looked at him open mouthed. It was a few seconds before he spoke. "You want us to prank the Head Boy!" he said incredulously. "You can't be serious!"

"Of course I'm Sirius!" Padfoot stated plainly. "It's what my parents named me after all." He said the last part with a smile and a wink.

"Oh you're hilarious." Remus said drily. He sighed in a resigned sort of way. What had he gotten himself into? Well there was nothing to be done for it now. Sirius would never let him back out of this now. "Go on." Remus said with another resigned sigh.

"Well since I thought of who we were going to prank I think that you should think of the prank." Sirius stated lazily.

"But this whole thing was YOUR idea Padfoot!" Remus said incredulously. "Fine, fine." He consented, seeing the look on Sirius' face. "Well no matter what we do we're going to get in heaps of trouble for it…so it's got to be worth getting in heaps of trouble for."

Sirius smiled evilly. He had never seen this side of Remus before. "Remus can be rather devious when he wants to be." He thought to himself.

It was then that James re-entered the common room. "Ughh!" He groaned. "Next time one of you is tutoring Peter!"

"Where is Peter?" Remus asked his friend, as he collapsed on one of the couches near the fireplace.

"When I left him he was still in the library studying," James answered. "But enough of that. What have you guys been doing?" He asked, suddenly seeming much more awake as he analyzed the look on Sirius' face. "You've been planning a prank haven't you? I am appalled that I haven't been included!" He yelled in mock horror. "Well I suppose I can forgive you if you guys include me now." He said his previous enthusiasm reinstated.

"Well we don't have much yet." Remus said "Only that-" He was cut off as Sirius shouted "We're going to prank that Malfoy git!" His excitement was palpable as he exclaimed the only part of the prank they had been able to plan successfully.

James sat staring at them with his mouth agape for a few long seconds before he was able to respond. "You two are crazy." He stated plainly.

"Funny." Sirius said thoughtfully. "Your reaction was almost identical to Moony's."

"That's because this plan is ridiculous." Remus retorted. "But that's beside the point. Have any ideas Prongs?"

"Now that you mention it…" James said with a devilish look on his face. "I think I do have a good idea."

The three boys huddled by the fire intently as they finalized the plans for one of their more insane— and if it went badly, possibly suicidal—pranks.

Later that night the three of them were huddled under the invisibility cloak checking the Marauders Map. They knew that Malfoy would be on patrol that night, now they just had to locate him on their very useful enchanted map.

"Ow Moony, you stepped on my foot!" Sirius exclaimed not seconds after they had begun walking towards the astronomy tower, where Malfoy was currently patrolling.

"Well maybe you should keep your foot out from under my foot!"Remus retorted.

"Well maybe we should all just shut up!" James whispered. "We're getting near the astronomy tower now we don't want him to hear us!"

It was then that they heard footsteps coming down the tower stairs. "Damn!" James said. "Now we'll have to find some way to get him back up to the tower."

"Don't worry." Sirius said in a lazy whisper. "I've got just the thing." He said, pulling them silently past Malfoy who was going in the opposite direction, and up the astronomy tower stairs. Once they had reached the top of the astronomy tower his footsteps, accompanied by the occasional thump of his showy snake head cane, were no longer audible by the group. It was then that Sirius said, in a normal voice since no one could hear them, "Accio Malfoy's cane."

The boys remained under the cloak and watched as the cane flew up the stairs, and bashed into the far wall of the tower. Not soon after they heard running steps, accompanied by the occasional swear or threat, as Lucius chased after his precious cane. The boys stood next to the door, and as Malfoy burst into the tower Remus cast the charm that they had decided on for the prank, followed by Sirius casting a complicated permanent sticking charm.

Then they ran like hell, taking the steps three at a time, so that they would be far enough away once Lucius realized what they had done. They were halfway to their portrait hole before they heard his very effeminate scream, and had to stop running because they were doubled over with laughter.

The next day at breakfast they weren't the only ones laughing. Many people, Slytherins included, were staring, pointing, and laughing at Lucius' bright pink head. And, as expected, Malfoy was more upset about his hair being damaged than about the fact that people were laughing at him.

The high point of the prank, though, might have been watching Malfoy blow up at a first year that was either stupid enough, or audacious enough to ask him if he knew his hair was pink.

Obviously everyone knew that this entertainment was courtesy of the Marauders. But as they reminded a countless amount of people, including their head of house and even Malfoy himself, they had no proof.

That, however, didn't stop Malfoy from retaliating a week later.
