A/N: Thank you to my beta Selene 147. I dedicate this fic to her. With out her, this fic would be complete crap.
I started this fic because I was going to a school a school spirit prep assembly, with out Luna (Selene 147). So I started to write about how much I hated assemblies. This is the finished product.
Disclaimer: I disclaim every thing to do with HP. And assemblies. I disclaim assemblies. Oh, and sprinklers. Those too.
OY! PLEASE READ! In the original draft for this fic, I had Remus in the choir, and I pictured him singing the National Anthem solo with a great big spotlight. My beta, however, said it was way too OOC, and she absolutely refused to allow it. ("No, no, never, not in a thousand and more years, never, I repeat, never, NO!") and so helped me come up with this revised version. We now are taking a poll: Would it, or would it not be OOC for Remus to be singing? And in a spotlight? We would greatly appreciate your opinion. Just leave a comment regarding this in your review. Thanks, bye.

Summary: Four mischief makers play a prank. Slight JL. AUish.
Music filled the Great Hall, a short fast tempo with a beat you could feel more then hear, as the students piled in. Half the school on one side, the rest on the other. Band members all stood in line with their instruments, watching the crows grow. The people in choir formed a half-circle in the center of the Hall. The pom girls could be seen off to the side, practicing their routine. Every one was talking at once, every one was smiling. Every one was happy.
Every one that is, save a few.
The music changed. The tempo was slower now, but few noticed over the roar of the crowed.
One of the pom girls, unnoticed by all, locked eyes with a DJ at the music table on the other side of the room. She winks an emerald green eye and he smiles in return. The pom girl went back to practicing with the rest her tem.
The DJ looked over to a crowd of jock a few yards away and gave one quick nod. The jock smiled to him self and if you looked closely, you could catch the evil glint in his eye. He gave a thumbs up to no one in particular, and there was one less person in the crowd.
The room was almost full by now. The pom squad did one last move and left the floor.
The music goes out and the Headmaster walks to the center of the floor as the last few students find seats.
"Students," he begins and the Hall went quiet. "I must ask you to please stay in your own classes, and please be respectful at all times during the assembly. The school code of conduct will be enforced at all times. And most importantly, have fun. Now, please rise, and remove your hats, for the national anthem." The students cheer for the choir as the Headmaster leaves the floor.
When the choir finished, all of the students applauded and sat back down.
The school spirit activities were about to begin. The jocks were just starting to leave when the crowd when the sprinklers went off.
Utter chaos ensued.
Girls shrieked and covered their hair whit their hands. Boys kept a littler more dignity,
but couldn't help looking around to see if anyone else knew what was going on. Band members hurriedly covered their instruments. The DJs did the same whit their equipment.
In no time at all, the entire student body was drenched and fighting for the exit.
Except for a few.
The pom girl, the DJ and the jock stood alone in the empty Great Hall, laughing their heads off, and joined a minute later by their accomplice.
"How'd it go?"
"Oh, it was great, you should've seen it!" said the jock, wiping tears from his eyes.
"It was wasn't it? And a bit of water is a small price to pay for getting out of the assembly. Did you run into any problems getting the sprinklers on?"
"Nope. Every thing went fine."
"I'd say this has been one of our better pranks," said the DJ smiling. The pom girl swatted him lightly on the arm.
"Hey, don't get cocky, it was my idea."
"And a wonderful one too," the jock said, raising his arm in a mock salute to her. The others did the same.
"Hey, this was just gone from being an assembly hour to being a fire hour. Whose up for Hogsmeade?"
"But it's not a Hogsmeade weekend. I don't think we should leave the school grounds," protested the pom girl.
Nonsense love," said the DJ, slinging an arm over her shoulder, "I'll make sure we don't get caught."
"What did I say about being cocky?" she said, rolling her eyes at her boyfriend's antics.
"Don't worry Princess-"
"Don't call me Princess."
"We know a secret passageway," the jock continued as though he hadn't been interrupted. "Not C'mon, before they figure out it was us. Besides, I could use a drink."
There were crowds of people drying themselves in the sunlight, chatting animatedly; every one seeming over the shock of the sprinkling and beginning to appreciate the fact that the assembly was canceled.
Four students, joking and laughing, congratulated themselves on another successful prank.
A/N: Don't cha just wish some times?
