Everyone is still on the Hogwarts Express at this point and James and Fred are about to prank Al (and any other Slytherins that happen to be in the same compartment). Alice is still at the prefects meeting.

Still James' POV.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.

"Let's go!" Fred said to me.

"Yeah! I'll just grab the invisibility cloak. Thank goodness it's my turn at the moment." I got my trunk down from the luggage rack and started searching for the invisibility cloak. Because Dad ended up having 3 children he told us we all had to share the invisibility cloak. Every fortnight we have to change over. It's my turn first since it's my last year.

"Do you want to come Roxy?" Fred asked Roxanne.

"Don't call me Roxy, Fred. It's Roxanne." She said. "But I can't sorry. I said I'd meet Peter in a bit."

Peter is Roxanne's boyfriend. He is the Hufflepuff Quidditch captain. He's a pretty cool guy. We beat them in Quidditch last year so no hard feelings really.

"Looks like it's just you and me Potter." Fred said, grinning evilly.

"Looks like it Weasley." I replied, with an identical grin. I could be sure if Alice was here she would say something like 'Don't do anything too bad' because she is the 'smart' rule abiding member of the group. She's the one that tells us when we have gone too far. It's quite good because it defiantly minimises our detentions.

"Don't get caught." Roxanne said as she left the compartment to go and find Peter.

"WE WON'T!" we called after her.

"You ready to do this?" I asked Fred.

"You bet! Operation Gryffindor Slytherins is ago!" he said as I put the invisibility cloaks over the two of us.

"I can't believe we didn't think of this before now." I whisper as we make our way down the train.

"I know! And we call ourselves great pranksters!" he agreed.

It took us a minute or two to find Al's compartment. What was great was that the food trolley was outside the compartment so we could sneak in while someone was getting something.

"Sweet." Fred muttered.

As Vincent walked back into the compartment we quickly came in after him. Thank goodness he put all the food on one of the empty seats before closing the door. Fred and I ran into the compartment and saw that it just had Al, Scorpius and Vincent in it. Scorpius was back which must mean that the prefect meeting is over so Alice will be back at our compartment, I thought to myself.

"So I heard that Georgina Harris likes you Al." Vincent said to my dear brother.

"Oh cool." Al said half heartedly.

"Aren't you excited?" Vincent asked. "She is one of the hottest girls in our year and she likes you and all you can say is 'oh cool'."

"I suppose." Al said. Scorpius looked at him for a second and I knew he guessed what was up.

"Would you go out with her if she asked?" Vincent continued.

"Probably not." Al said, not looking at Vincent. I had to stop myself from sniggering.

"Now?" Fred whispered.

"Not yet." I whispered back. "This conversation is getting interesting."

"How?" he whispered back to me.

"SHHHHHHHHH!" I whispered again. "I'll tell you later."

"Why not?" Vincent looked shocked.

"Because I don't like her in that way." Al said, still not looking at Vincent.

"What about you Scorpius?" Vincent asked. Scorpius looked taken aback.

"Probably not." Scorpius said and then looked anywhere but at Al. Haha! I knew he liked Rose. That's the only reason for not looking at him. Well unless he liked Lily but she's only a fourth year and I highly doubt that.

"You guys are mental." Vincent said. "Who do you like then?"

"Nobody!" Both Al and Scorpius said, a little too quickly to be believable.

"Sure!" Vincent said while raising his eyebrows. "So who is it?"

Al and Scorpius looked at each other.

"No one." Al said calmly. "Well I know I don't like anyone, not so sure about Scorp."

"Nope." Scorpius said with an equal amount of calm. "No one."

"I don't believe you!" Vincent said. "I'll work it out eventually." Both Al and Scorpius looked scared at this.

Good job Vincent, I thought silently, as it is clearly obvious that Al fancies your sister and Scorpius is crazy about my cousin. Only an idiot wouldn't know.

"I wonder who they like." Fred whispered. Yeah, like I said, only an idiot. Just kidding. Fred's not an idiot. He helped me perfect this prank.

"I'll tell you later. I think we are ready now." I smiled evilly, although no one could see me.

"All of them do you reckon or just Al?" he asked.

"Defiantly all of them." I smirked.

"Ready on three...." Fred started.

"So have you done that transfiguration homework?" Vincent asked.

"One." I whispered.

"Of course!" Scorpius said.

"Two." Fred whispered.

"Yeah." Al agreed.

"Three." We both said. And the waved our wands at the three unsuspecting Slytherins.

Before our eyes all three of them suddenly turned red. All over. Everything from their hair to their feet was bright red. Bright red, which in fact wouldn't come off for 24 hours. To add to this lovely display of red, each Slytherin had a Gryffindor lion on their robes. Trying not to laugh Fred and I ran out the door. As we shut it I heard Al shout "JAMES!"

Fred and I ran back to our compartment at top speed. Laughing the whole way.

"Did you see their faces?" Fred laughed as we shut the door of our compartment where Alice had returned and was reading a book.

"Yes!" I laughed with him.

"Classic!" he said as he sat down in one of the seats. "They are going to have to go to the feast like that!"

"Simple but effective." I agreed as put the invisibility cloak away.

"I don't want to know." Alice said as she put her book away. "Therefore I cannot be held responsible for anything that happened."

"Where's your sense of fun Alice?" I grinned at her.

"Don't tell me you've turned into..." Fred said, I knew what he was going say and we both gasped. "A pompous prat!"

"Haha." She smiled. "Very funny."

"I know." Fred replied.

"So how was the meeting for all stuck up snobs?" I asked Alice. She glared at me. "Except you." I added.

"It was pretty boring. You should have pranked everyone there. It would have been hilarious." Alice told us.

"Bummer." Fred said. "We've missed our chance mate. This is our last train ride to Hogwarts!"

"Man that sucks. I suppose we could plan one for last year and ask Al to pull it off." I suggested feebly.

"That wouldn't work since Scorpius will probably be head boy and Rosie will be head girl and Al wouldn't prank his friends." Fred pointed out.

"AH! This is the worst." I exclaimed.

"You guys are so pathetic." Alice smiled.

"Why thank you!" Fred and I said at the same time and then pretended to act horrified we said something at the same time.

"I said that first!" Fred said in pretend horror.

"Na uh! I did!" I pretended to fight back.

We then pretend bickered for a minute before Alice started laughing. I had never really noticed her laugh much before. It was kind of nice.

"You guys are such morons." She laughed.

"Why thank you!" we said again. "Truce?" we both held out our hands for the other to shake.

"Man it's scary how you guys do that." Roxanne said as she appeared in the compartment again. "People would think you were the twins."

"They are just on the same IQ level." Alice smirked. "That's the real reason."

"Are you implying we are geniuses?" I asked.

"Or idiots?" Fred added.

"Idiots." Alice and Roxanne said at the same time.

Author's note: Sorry if you think the prank is lame. I'm not really good with that kind of thing so I would really appreciate some input. I am probably going to need some more pranks as I go through this story so if you could just leave an idea in the review that would be GREAT! Thanks. And please comment on what you think of this chapter.

Stuff with James and Alice will probably go quite slowly so I'll probably be focusing on Al/Lauren and Scorpius/Rose a bit more. BUT James/Alice is the main pairing for this fic so don't be too surprised if it's mostly them.

PLEASE review and thanks to those who have.
