A Permanent Swirly

James Potter sprinted down the corridor toward the Gryffindor common room. He had the Marauder's Map in one hand, and his wand in the other. He skidded to a stop, keeling over gasping for air in front of the painting of the Fat Lady, his cloak of invisibility falling off.

"Passwor– "

"Loco!" James bellowed at the portrait.

"Fine! I oughta leave you out here to get caught by Filch!" said the Fat Lady as she started to swing open.

"Oh get off it you old hag!" James said as he kicked the oak frame the rest of the way open and bolted into the red and golden colored room. He stubbed his toe on the maple desk against the wall, cursed and then hobbled up the spiraled stairs to his dorm room. He opened and slammed the wooden door as he threw himself on his bed, waking up Sirius, Lupin, and Pettigrew. He jumped back up and latched the lock on the door. "LUMOS!" James shouted, flicking his wand as he unrolled the Marauder's Map in one quick smoothing motion of his hand. "Bloody idiot is still there!" Sirius walked over to the far wall and flicked on the light switch.

"This is much easier, mate," Sirius said with a chuckle. "What did you do this time?"

"Permanent swirly… Mate, I found Snivellus strolling around, going to take a little potty break, when I was out for my usual midnight snack... So I threw my cloak on and followed him in –"

"Were you peeking?!" Peter asked, cutting across James.

"No! Peter, I wasn't peeping! Bloody hell! You freak!" James laughed. "Anyways… As he was about to piss, I used 'Levicorpus' and he was dangling upside down, pissing on his-self!" They all roared with laughter. "Then after – after," James said between laughs. "I made him constantly bounce in and out of the toilet! And – and! I made it constantly flush, with a little help from Moaning Myrtle!" They all roared with laughter again, and Sirius fell off of James' bed.

"Wait! Wait! How did you get Myrtle to help you!?" Sirius asked.

"Err- uhh- uhm- I just showed her my –" James started.

"Stop right there Prongs!" Lupin interrupted.

"Oh boy, wait 'til Lily hears about this!" Sirius barked. James stopped laughing.

"You wouldn't dare." James said in a one hundred percent sure voice as he raised an eyebrow.

"Oh yes I would..." Sirius stated, raising the opposite eyebrow.

"Not unless you want Tricia to hear about Mia's party last weekend..."

"I know nothing..."

"S' what I thought" James chuckled.

"So why the panic getting back here so fast?" Remus asked.

"Nothing, just HAD to tell you, and Filch was after me but, hey, the usual... Well, I'm going to get some sleep, stupid classes tomorrow. Ugh." And with that, the four boys laid back down in their beds, and all fell asleep, not knowing the tasks that would await them in the short time to come…
