Disclaimer: I do not own any of the original Harry Potter characters, I only have a right to the plot of this story.

James Potter and Sirius Black sauntered through the halls, a gaggle of admires behind them. Only their first week at Hogwarts and students were already beginning to idolize them. James's adventure loving nature and fun spirit had made him the "Leader" of Gyffindor, looked up to by all 1st years. Sirius with his boyish attitude and good looks had also attract lots of attention, but from mostly girls.

Even now as they approached Flitwick's classroom, a pretty brunette was pestering Sirius to sit with her. "Oh please Sirius, won't you sit with me?" She begged, fluttering her eyelashes, "I am sorry I can't...today I need to take of some unfinished business with James. But..." Sirius said shooting her a devilish grin "Maybe I can sit with you some other time", "Really!? OMG, You're just too kind" the girl gushed as she ran away to tell her friends the good news.

James came up behind Sirius, very amused "Oooo la la, Is Sirius flirting with a girl?. He teased "Oh what a naughty, naughty boy" "Shut your mouth James" Sirius laughed playfully slugging him in the arm "Better to have a girl friend than be alone for ever", "I've had a girlfriend" James shouted indignantly making Sirius raise an eyebrow "Yeah right..in your dreams" But before James could retort, Sirius stepped forward voice dropping to a low murmur "Hey James, look... look there's our target" James peered over his shoulder and replied "Excellent Snivy's here, let's get our plan into action"

Severus walked quickly, trying not to be late for charms. Hurrying in, he quickly found an empty desk and sat down just as professor Flitwick began roll call. Taking out a quill and parchment Severus was so intent on copying down todays assignments hat he barely noticed his surroundings. Only when "Potter, James" was called out and right behind him someone cooly replied "right here" did Severus turn around to see who he was sitting in front of. Glancing behind himself, he saw not James but also Sirius Black. Wonderful Severus thought miserably not only did I just make in time class, I also had to pick the one seat in front of the two Gryffindors who hate my guts. Why do I always mess up?

So preoccupied was Severus in cursing his own carelessness that he failed to reply when professor Flitwick squeaked out "Snape, Severus " Lost in thought Severus didn't realize his name was being called until the charms teacher stormed over to Severus's desk, and yelled "Are you here or are you not?" As Sirius burst in to hearty guffaws, Severus blushed and stammered out " I-I a-am here s-sir and I-I deeply apologies f-for n-not paying a-attention." Annoyed Flitwick glared at the young Slytherin who was causing so much trouble, so early in the morning, then with an audible "Humph" climbed a top his pile of books to resume class.

James had been shivering with anticipation to execute the plan that he and Sirius had spent nearly a whole week devising, but seeing Severus so fidgety, James wanted to call the whole prank off. After all if James was honest with himself, he had agreed to Sirius's tomfoolery not for vengeance, but in order to get Severus to notice him more.

Tapping Sirius on the shoulder, James paused, unsure of how to phrase his doubts. Feeling his friend's eyes on him, Sirius twisted around to give James a huge grin. Noticing the look of uneasiness on James's face, Sirius's smile turned in to a frown of agitation. Eyeing the charms professor cautiously, he scooted closer to James and whispered "Hey mate, you aren't having second thoughts about paying back Snivellus are you?" James's brow furrowed as he hesitantly replied "No...ummm..it is just that..." "just what..?" Sirius asked worry creeping into his voice "just that... I think...one prank isn't enough to pay back sev...I mean Snivellus for what he said." James spoke in a rush, wondering if Sirius would believe his lie. "Yeah!..your absolute right James" Sirius beamed his former anxiety instantly replaced by excitement.

Professor Flitwick was determined to keep Severus attention for the rest of the class. Clapping loudly, he announced "Young Mr. Severus, could you please demonstrate the summoning charm that we have been just been reading about?" Startled that he had been called on, Severus slowly stood, muttering "Yes, o-of c-course sir". Holding his wand in one hand Severus took a deep breath to calm himself. Even though "Accio" was a relatively simple spell that Severus had previously mastered, performing it in front of the class was still slightly unnerving.

Sirius lightly prodded James and winking, mouthed "Do it" James scanned his surroundings, this indeed, was the perfect time to prank Snape. All students were watching Severus carefully and even a chuckling Flitwick was staring at Snape, obviously please that Severus was so shaken. The fact that the situation was so ideal... James thought, his heart sinking horribly ...would only make Severus's punishment more awful. Now Flitwick was mad, irritated at Severus lack of attention, but after what James was going to do Flitwick would be furious enough to strangle Snape. James glanced at Sirius, who gave him another wink and an encouraging nod. There was no way James could escape. He had to do it or he would lose his honor, his admiration and Sirius, his first and best friend at Hogwarts. Just as Severus was raising his wand, James steeled himself and muttered "Expulso", while jabbing his wand at the charms teacher.

In slow motion the pile of books Flitwick had been standing on toppled, dumping the professor on the floor. Admist the dust and flying books, an object whizzed towards Severus, landing lightly in his out stretched palm. Students began rushed towards the fallen teacher, helping him up, asking him if he was okay. Suddenly a young witch screamed "Snape you're a vile, vile monster." After that outburst, a barrage of increasingly hurtful insults were thrown at the small Slytherin, ending with a cutting remark from Sirius "Wow Snivellus, you really as the lowest of Slytherin scum"

Severus watched in horror as the charms professor turned to face him, his face beet red. Raising a finger, professor Flitwick pointed at Severus and squeaked "you...you...brat! Apologize immediately!" Seeing Snape's blank look of confusion the charms professor turned blotchy purple with anger. Voice rising he shouted "Don't play dumb, I know it was you. Paying me back for embarrassing you earlier. Think it was funny? Well,l I will give you something to laugh about... 30 points from Slytherin, a 5 foot long essay on what you did wrong today that is due tomorrow and you will serve 2 meal time detentions this afternoon."

"But, but...I saw everything, Sev didn't do it, Potter did, he..." a pretty red-headed witch protested "please Lily, don't try to convincing me of your friend's innocence or I will have to put you in detention too." Flitwick said severely "Everyone except Severus, you may go to lunch, class dismissed"

Severus sank in to his chair, He hadn't cause that explosion, had he? No, no it couldn't be. He had been focused on summoning a quill a top the professor's desk. But..but...if no one besides Lily would believe him, what use was knowing he wasn't guilty? With a sigh, Severus let his hand fall to his side, a crumpled feather slipping from his grasp and slowly floated to the ground.
