Chapter four – Pumpkins
The October air rushed past the Gryffindor first year boys dorm. Shivering, James put on his cloak and closed the windows from the howling wind.
"Heeyyyyy Jamesie!" This became Sirius' favorite greeting now. "You do realize that it has been exactly one month since we did a prank?"
"True, lets pull a prank so that the student population will not forget us." said James.
"Noooo! I don't want another detention!" Remus, who just walked in, had the expression of pure horror as he looked at his friends.
"Yay! It will be so fun!" squeaked Peter.
"Right then, lets plan." Sirius ordered. "Remus, nobody is going to realize that we pulled a prank. If they do, we will keep you save, okay?" Remus relaxed and sat down. "So, I was thinking of a Halloween prank."
"Good! Halloween...What's related to Halloween?" said the young Potter.
"Ghost!" answered Sirius.
"Yeah..Maybe we can get the ghost to do something..." muttered James.
"That plan will backfire. Peeves will tell everyone. You know that he spies on the ghosts." said the reasonable minded Remus.
"Good point. What else can we do?" asked James.
"Pumpkins!" exclaimed Peter.
"Yeah... We know you like pumpkins, but we're talking about pranks. Not food." Sirius said lazily.
"Oh, I have a plan! We can turn everyone's witches hats into pumpkins!"
"Great, Jamesie, lets get to work!"
-At the Halloween feast-
"Ah, now that everyone has been fed and watered, please -" Professor Dumbledore suddenly stopped. "Oh Merlin!" exclaimed the professor amusingly. All witches hats were turned into edible pumpkin, including the professors. James, Sirius, and Peter burst out laughing.
"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, as you have noticed, all witches hats have been turned into enormous, edible pumpkins. If you want your witches hats back, you have to eat the whole pumpkin. After you finished eating the pumpkin, it will turn into your own hat. Slytherins, yours is a different case. The pumpkins are all stuck into your head; you cannot take it off. The only way you can get rid of it is to have someone else eat your pumpkin on your head. Thank you." announced James. There was a massive uproar, especially on the Slytherin table.
"Damn it, Remus, you did the spell wrong! Now we have pumpkins on our heads too!" exclaimed James Potter.
"No! My perfect hair!" Sirius cried. It took all night to eat those pumpkins, as all the students and teachers stuffed themselves full at the Halloween feast. At last, the boys finished eating and went up to their dorm.
"That plan kind of backfired." drawled Sirius.
"But still, did you hear Malfoy scream: NOTT! YOU SPAT ON MY AWESOME HAIR! HOW DARE YOU! It was totally worth it!" laughed James.
"Lily's face looked murderous. James, you better watch out." said Remus. They all went to bed.
"I'll never eat another pumpkin again." groaned Sirius. And that is why the entire Hogwarts population never ate another pumpkin again.
