Chapter 2
Disclaimer:I don't own anything, so don't sue me. And trying to press a law suit agains me would be useless, since I don't have any money to fight against you.
"Greetings, my friend, today is the big day," Sirius in a hooded black cloak said softly, before crashing with laughter and stumbled on the floor, the other three boys also joined in, laughing in hooded black cloaks,
"I think this deserves some explanation," James said in between laughters, "We were playing that muggle game truth or dare, and Longbottom dared us to speak like that,"
"Yeah, it was very grim for our companions, and it is greatly annoying for our rivals," Sirius said,
"Padfoot, you know that it's been a day already, right?" Remus said tiredly, peeping out from the huge book he's reading,
"Oh, right," Sirius said, dropping the hood of the cloak, "All right, today we are going to...well, you'll see, I'll fill you in with what is happening though, this is the second month from the back to school feast, and I am still single, also, um... I don't know what to say without giving away our prank..."
"There's really nothing to say, Remus, can you charm it to float or something so we don't have to hold it?"
"I'll try..." Remus said uncertainly, pulled the camera towards him, and set it on his lap, after a few color changes in the camera, it came back to normal and we can see the top of the heads of the four Marauders,
"OK, let's go!" Sirius said, and the four of them filed out of the door with the camera hovering close behind.
The four boys traveled their way down the hallway, Remus recieved a compliment from the Fat Lady: "Hello, where're you going?" She said with a light blush,
"I bet she has a crush on you," Sirius teased, bumping Remus in the arm once they are out of earshot,
"Shut up, and I wouldn't talk if I were you, that painting of the ball on the second floor hallway?"
"Yeah? What about it?"
"All of the girls there certainly has a crush on you, after you tripped in front it,"
"I did not know that," Sirius said slowly with a thoughtful expression.
They arrived at a painting of a fruit bowl,
"We're here, this is the entrance to the greatest kitchen you'll ever encounter in your life," James said dramatically, and he stretched out a finger, as if to press on a button, but instead he started tickling the pear in the painting, after a while the pear turned into a door handle, and James gripped it tightly and swung the door open.
"Mr. Potter, Mr. Black, Mr. Lupin, and Mr. Pettigrew, what can we do for you?" a house elf dressed in a simple cloth with the Hogwarts crest on it tumbled forward, the rest of the house elfs bowed slightly before returning to their work, they would normally all crowd around anyone visiting the kitchen, but it's 15 minutes before breakfast, and they are very busy right now.
"Oh, nothing really, don't mind us," Sirius said, and the house elf scurried away to help with the porridge.
They stood there for several minutes until James saw a house elf attempting to carry two pots of porridge at the same time,
"Here let me help you," James said, taking one pot away from the house elf,
"Oh, no, no, young master is too kind, no," the house elf seems to be trembling,
"It's no problem, really," James tried to reassure the house elf, once the house elf got over the fact that a student has offered to help carry food, James walked back, carrying the pot with both hands,
"You have it?" James asked Remus,
"Yes," Remus replied, and pulled out a flask, and poured the whole flask of green-brown liquid in, the he stirred it until the color disappeared, James then carried it to the Slytherin table, set it where the house elf beside him indicated (while stammering thanks until he was breathless) they left the kitchen and went to the great hall.
The four of them sat down in their usual seat: facing the slytherin table and beside a certain red head,
"Hey Lily," James said, leaning towards a girl with waist length red hair and brilliant emerald eyes,
"No means no, Potter!" Lily seems to know exactly what James is going to say, and are obviously annoyed by it,
"Please? Just this once?"
"No means no," Lily repeated again, patience wearing thin, James noticed this and sat back to his usual position, glaring at Sirius who has his arms around a very pretty brunette,
"Hi, my name is Sarah," the girl said rather shyly, and blushed as Sirius kissed her behind her ears,
"Oh, get a room, you two," Remus said in between glances at the Slytherin table and his book, Sirius grinned wider and the girl blushed even more and excused herself, but not before whispering to Sirius to meet her tonight, at 7:30 in a certain empty classroom on the second floor.
"Remus, what was that-"
"What was what?" Remus asked, even though he knew the answer,
"Look, Snivellus is eating porridge!" Sirius whispered to Remus, who in turn told the other two, they watched the Slytherin table intently, Snape seemed to notice something about the porridge, he nudged Regulus, pointing to the porridge, the three Marauders held their breath (Peter is too busy eating to care), but to their great relief, Regulus also got a bowl, and when he tasted it, his eyes bulged, and he pointed the porridge to the next person until the whole Slytherin table is now eating porridge,
"We owe this to Moony, it is him who made the otherwise revolting potion into something that nice," Sirius said seriously (no pun intended).
Much to the Marauder's relief, the other people did not see the the Slytherin's reaction to the porridge, or they will point out that nothing is special about THEIR porridge and they will try the Slytherin's porridge, which could end up in a disaster.
Suddenly, a high pitched scream was heard from the Slytherin table.
A/N - What do you think would happen?
Oh, and I have a question for you, the first person to answer correctly can decide what the next prank is about, I'm doing this to all my other in progress and non-one short stories too.
Question: Who said : "Nearly headless? How can you be nearly headless?" in the BOOKS of the philosopher stone?
Remember to include what you want to happen in your answer! And even if you aren't the first to answer, I will consider yours if it's a good idea.
I will not, repeat, WILL NOT, write porn and I will not use your suggestion if I don't think it's inappropriate for the rating or is too mature and difficult to write, so think hard before you post a suggestion.
