(A/N: This is a sequel, if you haven't read Back From the Dead this won't make much sense. Also, if you didn't like BFTD, this is not for you. You should be warned, not all of this will be in chronological order, this is a compellation of short stories.

"Hey James, Remus, our favorite holiday is coming up." Sirius said grinning, the other two quickly realized what he was talking about. Meanwhile Dora and Reggie just stared at them.

"April Fool's Day." Lily explained to them, "The one day you can prank people mercilessly and make it fine and dandy by saying 'April Fool!' They love it."

"I guess we'll be opening up the prank war again for one day, huh?" Dora asked.

"You better believe it." James said sitting down next Lily at the breakfast table.

"Owl for masters." Kreacher said followed by a dark colored barn owl, which gladly handed over the letter to Remus and happily accepted some Corn Flakes from Lily. The outside of the letter was very simple and in handwriting just a step above chicken scratch.

To Prongs, Moony and Padfoot

None of them could figure out why someone who knew their nicknames who would have a need to send a letter to them. Remus unrolled the letter and smiled, "It's from Jay." They all listened as Remus read the letter out loud.

Okay, I know this is going to sound a bit pathetic, but I would like your help.

The teachers have been commenting how our group of first year Gryffindors never gets in trouble and are perfect little angels. Okay, mainly Dad. We want to change that. Our problem is that we can't think of anything to do for April Fool's Day, I was wondering if you could give us some ideas or advice.

If it helps any, we have a double period with him that day and the Ravenclaws say that if our plan is good enough that they will help us out. Thank you for whatever help you can give us, or for listening anyways.

Jay, and the rest of the first year Gryffindors in part.

"Yeah, that is a bit pathet-" Sirius was cut off by being hit with a banana that had previously been in Lily's hand.

"What did I tell you about insulting my grandchildren?" She said holding her spoon menacingly.

"To not to. Sorry." Sirius replied.

"Okay, let's vote. Should we help Jay prank Harry, or not? All in favor say Aye." James said.

"Come on, we always use aye, can't all in favor say something different for a change?" Dora complained.

"Well, what do you suggest?" Remus asked.

"Niep." Reggie said, they all stared at him.

"Perfect, but how do you pronounce it?" Dora asked.

"Same as 'Ni', but you add a p, like knee-p. Niep." He elaborated.

"Okay, now that we have that settled, all in favor say niep." There were six 'nieps' in reply. The next hour was spent devising a plan for Jay.

The next day, four days before the first of April, Jay received an owl with a single letter with a very peculiar nickname of his written on the outside Aranha. His best friend Darnell looked at the name questioningly. "It's from my grandparents, that's their nickname for me."

"Really?" Darnell said cocking an eyebrow.

"It's portugese."

"I didn't know they spoke portugese."

"Me neither, it means spider."

"Then it's quite fitting, read it in the common room at lunch?" He asked in regards to the letter.

"Yep, if we make it through potions that is." Jay said joking, neither of them liked potions, or the potions master for that matter. During the class they were fidgeting and messed up a bit more than usual and got twenty points taken from Gryffindor during the class. The minute they got out the two boys practically ran up to the seventh floor and loudly called the password at the Fat Lady and once inside ripped the letter open, it was written by Remus, who's writing was second best to Lily's.

Dear Jay,

The Marauders would like to thank you and your fellow students for coming to us in your time of need, we find it rather flattering. And against our better judgment we have decided to help us on one condition, you have to tell us how it goes.

Mister Padfoot believes that picking his godson is choosing a difficult target.

Mister Prongs asks what the scariest thing to be confronted with is (besides Snape).

Miss Prongs says that seeing yourself is the hardest thing.

Miss Moony heartily agrees with Miss Prongs, but suggests that you not use Polyjuice potion.

Mister Moony would like to elaborate that we think that you should dress up the way Mr. Potter did while he was a student.

Reggie would like to comment that having the entire class dressed as such would be quite intimidating.

We're not sure how you would to the scar, but using glasses without rims and dying hair black would do most of the job. And I would like to add that by choosing Harry as a victim you are assuring the punishment will be light if you pull it off because he has a good humor about these things.

With love,

Moony, Padfoot, Prongs, Lily, Dora and Regulus

"So all we need is to figure out how to do scars." Jay said when he finished.

"I know how we can do that!" Darnell said, "Remember when I told you about Sharpies?"

"Those permanent markers?"

"Yeah, but they can be removed by magic, if we draw them on…"

"They'll look like scars and be noticeable. Let's start telling everyone." The boys rushed down to lunch and began telling the others involved about the plan, and the Ravenclaws agreed to help and even searched down glamour spells to dye their hair with. It was all going to fall into place perfectly.

On April Fool's Day both the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw first years had done all the necessary preparation for their class with Harry. He always left the door to his room open during lunch, so they were in the room before him and all sat relaxed waiting for him to arrive. It was mere seconds after the bell rang that the black haired teacher came through the door, unfortunately for them, it wasn't Harry. It was Snape.

All of the students just stared at him with their mouths open wondering why Harry wasn't here. Snape sneered at them, giving particular attention to Jay, knowledgably one of Snape's least favorite students. Finally he broke the silence, "Sit down." Several of them were either standing or sitting on the desks and quickly returned to their seats.

Snape made his way to the front of the room and they noticed he was carrying several large volumes, "As I'm sure you've realized, I have been asked to cover Professor Potter's classes for the day. He has asked that I have you all take meticulous notes on chapter five of these books and use those notes to write a two foot essay due day after next and you will be turning your notes in as well. Unfortunately, we only have six books so you will have to share. No more than four to a book, no talking. Begin."

The entire class was silent for the rest of the class, the only noise allowed was the whispered counter spells for their disguises that he gave the impression he was deeply unsettled by. At the end of the unbearably long double period he told everyone to pack up, which they did without talking and before the bell rang he said, "Potter, a word after class please."

Jay flinched and got looks of sympathy from the rest of the class as they fled with the bell. Jay stayed seated wondering what Snape would do to him now. "You really need to be more careful with your secrets."

"What?" Jay said realizing it wasn't Snape, but Harry talking to him. "Where did Snape go?"

"Snape was never here." Harry's voice was flat, but the dancing in his eyes revealed he was laughing.

"Yes he was." Jay argued.

"No, I guess the proper thing to say here would be April Fools." Jay just glared at him.

"You dressed up as Snape to prank us, who were dressed up as you." He said softly.

"And it would have been a great prank if I hadn't heard about it. No punishment, but you better get to your next class."

"You have a point, McGonagall won't like it if I'm late… again." Jay said and picked up his bag and hurried off to his next class.

Great plan, Harry mused thinking of how he may have reacted had he not overheard Jay and his friend Darnell talking to the Ravenclaws. He just couldn't picture what he would have done. I wonder if I should have told him he forgot to remove the 'scar'? He grinned I think he'll figure it out soon enough.

(A/N: First chapter down[power at be knows how many more to go. If you have any ideas for me or simply have a random line you want a character to see just put it a review and I'll see what I can do. If I use your idea you will get credit. I've got about six more chapter ideas, but more is always better. So please review!)
