Hello! The other day, I discovered this amazing facebook group that had "150 Rules of Hogwarts". Suddenly, I had an idea. Why don't I write fanfictions as to why these rules were invented? So… here goes.
I will not poke Hufflepuff's with spoons, nor will I insist that their house colors indicate that they are "covered in bees".
Sirius and James were sitting in James' dormitory planning some pranks, as usual.
"What about …" Sirius suggested, whispering into James' ear.
"Okay, two things wrong with that. One, why are you whispering? We are in my dorm, in the head's commons, NO WHERE NEAR ANY SLYTHERINS! Two, we can't do something that outrageous, I mean, I only just got Lily to go out with me!" James sighed contentedly.
"Mate, snap out of it! Why don't we just charm their robes pink for a day?" Sirius suggested.
"Simple, not too outrageous, but will cause mayhem for the Slytherins… ok, let's do it!"
2 hours later, Sirius and James had worked out the spell. They modified it just so it would only be the Slytherins' robes that would turn pink.
"You do it!" Sirius said, opting out.
"Bags not!" James said, putting his thumb to his forehead in a 'bags not' fashion.
"Ugh, why is it every time we create a new spell, neither one of us want to test it?" Sirius asked, sighing.
"You're just upset that you have to try it out every time because you never remember the rules of 'bags not'" James laughed.
Sirius grumbled as he mumbled the incantation, with a swish of his wand. Suddenly, screams were heard through-out the castle.
"That sounds a bit more than just Slytherins…" Sirius murmured. James nodded. They snuck out of the dorm and ran towards the Great Hall. Every one in there, excepting the Gryffindors, were dressed in fluro pink robes. Not including the teachers, though. All of the Gryffindors, and some of the friendlier Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws were laughing, though all of Slytherin glared at the Gryffindor table.
"Well, I'd still call that a success!" Sirius gasped between laughter.
"Totally!" James laughed. They sat down with Lily and Remus, both looking highly amused at the prank.
"Let me guess… you made your own spell?" Remus asked knowingly. Sirius nodded.
"Not again!" Lily laughed. "Uh, guys? Here comes trouble."
Three Hufflepuffs were stalking over to were James, Sirius, Remus and Lily sat, eyes blazing with fury.
"Potter, Black, can you please explain to us why we are wearing these horrific colours?" asked Amos Diggory, the Hufflepuff currently poking Sirius in the chest. Sirius poked him back, but with his spoon.
"Well, you have to admit, it looks a sight better than being covered in bees, but if you really mu-"
Amos Diggory and his cronies launched themselves at James and Sirius, crashing into the table. Punches were thrown left and right, causing the girls at the table to scream. Teachers ran down to Gryffindor table, including Professor McGonagall.
"Boys! Stop this nonsense! BOYS!!!" Professor McGonagall stepped between the two sets of boys. They all still struggled to attack each other, yelling and shouting insults at each other.
"EVERYONE! Settle DOWN!" McGonagall sent ropes out of her wand to bind the boys.
"Okay boys, to my office!" She called, levitating the 5 boys to her office.
"Oooooh, they are in trouble!" Remus laughed.
Two days later, the Hogwarts rules were reprinted to include the newest rule:
I will not poke Hufflepuff's with spoons, nor will I insist that their house colors indicate that they are "covered in bees".
That's all for now folks! Now, I'm off to write the second chapter!!
