Chapter 2
Disclaimer:I don't own anything!
Sirius lay down on his bed, staring at the empty bed beside him, he's bored, absolutely bored. He walked downstairs into the living room, saw Lily reading a book, and asked,
"Where's James?"
"In our room, or outside,"
Sirius bounded up the stairs again, and peeked into James and Lily's room,
"James?"
"Yeah?" James said, looking up from something on his lap,
"What are you doing,"
"I'm bored, I'm looking at the Marauders map,"
"Ohh, I want to see too,"
They looked down at the Marauders Map, it showed several teachers walking around and Mrs Norris patrolling the corridors. Professor Dumbledore is in his room, pacing across the floor, Professor Mcgonagall is in the hospital wing, chatting with Madame Promfrey, and Filch is furiously scrubbing the mess that Peeves made.
"Haha, Filch!" Sirius jeered, "Have fun scrubbing the floor!"
"Why do he always do things the muggle way?" Lily asked, having appeared and was looking over their shoulders,
"You don't know?" James asked, bewildered, "Filch's a squib!"
"He's a squib?" Lily asked, completely taken back, "How did you know?"
"Well, we were in trouble again," Sirius began, "When Filch had to run off for something that Peeves do, we found a letter on his desk that looked interesting..."
"So we grabbed it," James continued, "And it turned out to be a kwikspell course,"
"You went through his private papers?" Lily asked, her Prefect self coming back to her,
"Well, we can hardly resist the temptation," Sirius said,
"Well? Did you get caught?"
"No," Sirius said proudly, "why did you seem so eager to hear us in trouble anyways?"
"Oh, no reason," Lily said a bit guiltily, "What other amazing adventures did you have?" Lily asked, eager to hear more about the Marauder's mischief.
"Well, remember that time when the Slytherin Commonroom flooded with purple goo and they have to sleep in the Great Hall?"
"That was you?!" Lily gaped,
"Yep," Sirius said, standing up and bowing graciously to an imaginary crowd, "Thank you, thank you,"
"I was Prefect then," Lily recalled, "I went down with the teachers to the Slytherin Commonroom to investigate, it smelled horrible, but I guess that place didn't smell so good in the beginning,"
"Yeah, Remus told us about it," James said, "Remember? He was a Prefect too,"
"Yeah, I WAS a Prefect," Remus said, arriving at the doorway,
"MOONY!" Sirius said and jumped up, wringing his hands with Remus, "I thought you would never come!"
"Hey!" Lily said, waving her hand slightly,
"Hey to you too," Remus said, nodding towards Lily, "What were you talking about?"
"The Purple Goo incident,"
"Oh, that was hilarious," Remus said, "I want to hear this,"
So the four of them sat down on the bed and looked at Sirius, who continued the story,
"Well, the Slytherin Commonroom smelled so bad because the purple goo-"
"A special recipe," James added
"-had elements of dragon dung in it," Sirius said, "We made it in our dormitory, but we are clever enough to build a smell-proof cubicle in the corner of it and bewitch the cubicle so that only Animagus' can see it,"
"But wouldn't Mcgonagall see it?"
"Yes, so we also cast another spell so only MALE Animagus' can see it,"
"Clever," Lily whistled,
"Anyway, the night before, we sneaked into the dungeons,"
"Nearly got caught by Mrs Norris," James interrupted,
"And we stuffed this thing into the taps that are installed on the walls of the common room,"
"Why are there taps on the walls of the common room?" Lily asked,
"We don't know," Sirius shrugged his shoulders, "probably so they can make potions in their free time,"
"So in the morning," James continued for Sirius, "when someone opened the taps,"
"Purple goo started coming out of it," Sirius said, a wide grin on his face,
"And when they try to turn the tap to shut it down..."
"It gushed out like a waterfall!" Sirius and James said in unison, and both collapsed in a heap, laughing so hard that they can't sit up right,
"You should've seen their faces when it started to flood out of the cauldron-shaped sinks,"
"They all fled from the dungeons to the Great Hall and got Professor Slughorn,"
"And Malfoy with curlers in his hair!"
It took the company exactly 30 seconds to imagine Lucius Malfoy's long hair in curlers before they all burst out laughing. Sirius sat up, wiped a tear from his eye, attempted to calm down, then collapsed again, clutching his stomach in laughter,
"We even...took...a...picture of it!" Sirius said, gaping for breath through the laughing fits,
"Yeah, we dipped it in that potion that can make pictures move, and it turned out great! It shows Malfoy running around with curlers flying askew and his mouth wide open from shock,"
"Where is it? I want to see!" Lily said excitedly,
"We don't have it, we posted it on the Gryffindor Commonroom notice board with a permanent sticking charm in the back and a charm that protects it from eyes that it's not meant for,"
"So Mcgonagall can't tear it down?"
"Yeah, but I don't really think she will when she finds out, she has quite a sense of humor when she feels like it,"
"How come I never saw it on the notice board?"
"You were a tattle tale Prefect, what do you expect?"
Lily blushed crimson as the boys collapsed into laughter again.
