Chapter 4
**Sirius' POV**
"Bloody hell, how did we get stuck in detention again Padfoot?"
"Gee Prongs maybe because you told LILY what we were gonna do? I mean really mate, did you think it'd be wise to tell the prefect that we were pranking Slytherin today?!" I all but yelled at James. I loved James like a brother, but sometimes I couldn't believe how dumb the boy was.
"Padfoot I didn't know she would tell McGonagall! I was trying to make her realize how sweet I was by pranking that slimy greasy haired git Snivellus. I mean he called her a you-know-what! But of course she didn't know that and she thinks he's all nice and perfect, which by the way I don't understand. He's got to have her imperiused or something! And-"
"PRONGS! We get it, okay?" Moony said from across the common room. "There's nothing we can do about it now. We'll just serve detention and forget about this whole thing."
"Forget? I plan on executing this plan one way or another eventually Moony. And you will participate. Don't even try to talk your way out of this one Moony," James said as he made his way over to where Remus was sitting.
"Hey Prongs? What time are we supposed to meet McGonagall?" Remus asked suddenly.
"Seven."
"And what time is it now?" I asked glancing at the clock.
"Ummm..." James looked at the clock. "Seven-thirty," he said with a confused look.
"Prongs..."
"Yes, Moony?"
"WE"RE A HALF HOUR LATE?!"
"Oh. Oh! Time to go! C'mon boys!" James shouted as he speed out of the common room. Remus was right behind him looking like he would pound James. I laughed and ran after them. By the time we got to McGonagall's classroom, her mouth was in a firm line and her arms were crossed. James gave her a sheepish smile and apologized, explaining that we lost track of time while doing homework. She said nothing and instead held out her hands for our wands, which we gave her quickly, and then pointed to buckets and mops in the corner. We hung our heads and got to work cleaning her classroom.
**Savannah's POV**
After Lily gave me a lecture about leaving the room without leaving her a note explaining where I was, I spent the rest of my day in the library doing the homework I had received for the weekend. I was just about finished when someone plopped down in the chair next to me. And then another person across from me, and two more on my left. I sighed and looked up at my guests.
"What do you want?" I asked as I put away my parchment, quill, and ink bottles.
"Well isn't that a lovely way to greet your best mates," said Sage. Sage was gorgeous, to say the least. She had dark chocolate brown hair that fell well past her shoulders, tan skin with no blemishes what so ever, and bright green intelligent eyes. She was fairly tall, and had long, toned legs that every girl was jealous of. Like I said, gorgeous.
"Hows this: Merlin's ghost! It's so great to see you guys! It's been forever, even though I just saw you four hours ago!" I squealed sarcastically.
"There's no need to be rude Savannah," Lily said.
"Sorry Mom."
"Really? Why must you all call me that?! I do NOT act like a mom!" Lily huffed as she crossed her arms over her chest and sat back in her chair.
"Lily, relax. It's just a joke. You don't act like a mom. You're just really sweet and caring like a mom. It doesn't mean you punish us or anything like that," Sage said trying to calm Lily down. Lily just rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, either way you'd still make a better mother for me than my real mom," I said bitterly. Lily's eyes immediately softened. She gave me a tentative smile.
"Oh, Savannah, I didn't mean to make you think like that. Your mom loves you, she does. She just... Well... She thinks she knows whats best for you, but-"
"Lily it's okay. Don't worry about it. We all know how my mom really is. It doesn't matter right now. What matter's is the prank war. What ideas do we have so far?" I said smiling, all traces of bitterness gone.
"Well, I have an idea. But it's gonna be hard to accomplish," Raina said breaking into the conversation.
"Oh yeah! Raina's idea is really good guys, but we might need some outside help," Alice piped up.
"Okay, let's hear it first before we decide," I said turning towards Raina, who immediately began revealing her plan.
When she was done I was stunned. I couldn't even think of words to describe how brilliant her plan was. We were gonna win round one at least, that was for sure.
"Well? Savannah, what do you think?" Raina asked nervously.
"Bloody hell Raina! You're bloody brilliant!" I yelled throwing my arms around the girl.
"You really think it'll work?"
"I think we have a shot at winning this. What about the rest of you?"
"I agree with you Savannah. We'll win for sure," Alice said.
"If we play our cards right," Lily added with an evil glint in her eye and a grin on her face.
Lily was right, we could win, if we played our cards right.
"Foxx!"
"What do you want Snivellus?" I sneered.
"I heard you set up a little prank war with Black," Snape said as he made his way toward my in the corridor.
"Yeah, and?" I was starting to get annoyed with him, and my tone made that very clear.
"I was just going to offer my assistance if you needed someone to brew a potion," he said shoving his hands in his pockets and rocking on his feet. It almost made him look normal.
"You want to help me? I thought you hated me," I said raising an eyebrow toward him.
"Oh I do. But I hate that Potter and Black far more. If someone was going to give them a test of their own medicine, I would want to help," he smirked.
I sighed. We could use his help, but I really didn't like Snape. I know he was Lily's friend so I tried to be nice, but more often then not I would end up hexing him. However, it didn't matter how much I hated him, because he was the only student smart enough to brew the potion we needed. Frankly though, I didn't want to tell him our plan. My mind was battling this all out in my head and Snape was starting to give me weird looks, waiting for me to give an answer.
"Well.. I guess there is one potion we could use your help with," I sighed. "You can't ask what its for though. I trust you enough to brew it, but not enough to tell you our whole plan. If you have a problem with that then leave now."
"I have no problem. What's the potion? How am I getting the ingredients? And who's going to help me brew it?" He shot off at me without a breath. I smirked at his ease. This was going to be way to easy.
************
"So is Severus helping with the potion?" Lily asked me as soon as I stepped into the common room.
"I assume he asked you before he came to me then," I said plopping onto the couch and putting my feet on her lap.
"Yes he did, but I told him you were in charge," she said pushing my feet off. I glared at her.
"First, there is no need to push my feet off. You could have asked me to move them. Second, I'm not 'in charge', this is a team war. He has the maurders, and I have everyone else."
"Okay then, miss sassy. Whats gotten you so fired up?"
I sighed. "I'm sorry Lily, I'm just a little tired... And Grumpy... And hungry. How long until dinner?"
"Two hours."
"No! Thats too long! I need food now!" I screamed dramatically as I clutched my stomach.
"You are way too dramatic. I'm leaving. Goodbye Savannah," she said gathering her books and heading up the stairs to our room.
Just as Lily left the marauders came sauntering through the portrait hole. I was alone, in the common room, with the marauders. The guys who were planning on pranking me. Just bloody fantastic.
"Well speak of the devil," Black said nudging Potter.
"And the devil appears," Potter finished.
"Well isn't that such a charming way to greet girl," I said sarcastically placing a hand on my chest and fake swooning.
"I think it is when the girl threatens me on a daily basis," Black said sitting down on the couch next to me. I glared at him. Why couldn't he respect my personal space?
"Is Blackie scared of a wee wittle girl?" I said with a baby voice and big, round eyes staring at him.
"Sirius Black is not, and never will be scared of girl. Especially you," he said with a chuckle.
"And what is that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing sweetheart."
"Don't call me sweetheart," I growled.
"Ohhh, I'm so scared," he said pretending to shiver.
"You would be if you knew what I can do."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing. Just that I know some very nasty curses, and I'm not afraid to use 'em," I said pulling out my wand and twirling it. I raised an eyebrow at him, daring him to say something. Sadly though, Remus interjected.
"C'mon Padfoot. Why don't you leave Savannah alone and attempt to do your homework?"
"Moony you know I wouldn't deny Savannah my attention. Why don't you do my homework for me?"
Remus sighed. "Because Padfoot, it's your homework. I have enough of my own homework to get done. Now go upstairs and do your homework," he said crossing his arms.
"No way Moony. You can't tell me what to do," Black said looking up at Remus standing above him.
"Sirius-"
"Moony."
"Don't make me count to five."
Sirius laughed. "Really Moony? You wanna go all mom on me? You counting doesn't scare me."
"One." He lifted one finger.
"Moony-"
"Two." He lifted another finger.
"C'mon Remus-"
"Three." Another finger.
"Really? Are you series?!"
"I believe you're Sirius mate," James said laughing at his own joke. Sirius glared at him.
"Four." Sirius stared at Remus. Remus stared back, lifting an eyebrow. Sirius didn't move. I looked back and forth at the two waiting for something to happen. Neither said a word. James leaned toward me.
"How long do you think they'll stare at each other?" he whispered.
It was then that Remus silently raised the last finger, and Sirius jumped out of his seat and ran up the stairs. I didn't even attempt to hold in my howls of laughter. Next to me James was laughing just as hard as I, and Remus took a seat next to me looking very pleased with himself. I gasped for air, but laughed even harder when James fell off the couch and onto the floor laughing. Finally Remus joined in laughing along with us, until we were all out of breath and our sides were splitting.
"That was-" I started.
"Bloody hilarious!" James finished. "Nice job Moony," he said giving Remus a high five.
"James don't you have homework too?" Remus said straight faced. James held his hands up in surrender.
"Don't go all mom on me too Moony. Just say the word and I'll leave."
"The word."
James laughed and made his way up the stairs, ruffling Remus' hair as he left. Remus sighed and leaned back into the couch.
"Sorry about them Savannah. I'll try to keep them in check the best I can, but..." he trailed off looking at me.
"They can't be tamed. I know. It's okay really," I said turning toward him.
"Thanks for understanding. I better get up there before they set my bed up for a prank as pay-back. Goodnight Savannah," he said getting up and stretching before making his way up the steps.
"Goodnight Remus," I called after him.
