"Hey James, come over here!" Sirius called out, as Remus and Peter quickly followed him. James swaggered over to join the rest of his group and raised his eyebrows. It was a sunny day and he'd been enjoying just lounging around in the sun, enjoying his last few weeks of being a 5th year student, before the real hard work started with NEWTs next year.
"What's up Sirius?" He asked lazily, but secretly he was quite excited, as he recognised the mischievous look passing across his friend's face.
"See that over there?" Sirius pointed at a dusty looking closet, which appeared to have been nested in by several bundimuns. James sauntered up to it; he could hear a faint whimpering coming from inside. A great thought crossed his mind, as he listened in.
"Is that what I think it is?" He whispered ecstatically.
"You bet!" Cheered Sirius.
"Snivellus!" James shouted delightedly, as he yanked open the door to the closet. A greasy haired boy with a pale face looked angrily up at him. It was clear from the wet streaks underneath his black eyes that he'd been crying.
"Think this is funny, do you? You arrogant flobberworm! You and your pathetic friends just strut around thinking that you're better than everyone, well you're not! So leave me alone!" Severus Snape made to walk off, but Peter stuck out a shaky arm and pushed him back. Remus looked disapprovingly at his friends before walking off.
"I'm not getting involved with this! If you want Filch to give you another detention, then so be it." He called as he left, but the others laughed after him.
"I think a detention will be well worth it, don't you James?" Laughed Sirius, as he pulled a vial of disgusting looking goo from his bag.
"I stole some pond slime from Slughorn's cabinet in Potion's lesson. I'd like you to have it, Snape. Seeing as we're all such good friends." Snape's eyes widened with horror as Sirius slowly uncapped the vial, and a horrendous stench filled the air.
"Peter, if you'll do the honours?" Pettigrew shuffled forwards and whipped down Snape's trousers. Quick as a flash Sirius poured the bottle down Snape's pants, and then shoved him back in to the closet. James chucked in a dungbomb before slamming the door shut and locking it, with Snape banging frantically on the inside.
James, Sirius, and Peter ran off quickly in the other direction, but Lily Evans saw them and grew suspicious. She hurried over to the closet and tried to pull it open, but, realising it was locked, whipped out her wand.
"Alohamora!" She shouted, and the door swung open. "Oh, Severus…" She whispered sadly.
"Go away." spat Snape, with pain in his eyes, "GO AWAY AND LEAVE ME ALONE!" And with that, he ran off as fast as he could in the direction of the dungeons, his loud cries being carried to Lily by the wind.
