Over the next few weeks I avoided The Marauders as much as possible. Lily and I continued to scheme ideas and pranks, but none seemed worthy enough for The Marauders. We needed something big, something they would remember us by.
One night we were sitting in the Gryffindor Common Room writing our Defense Against The Dark Arts essays when Lily yelled:
'I've got it!' I jumped and smudged my writing.
'Got what?' Confused at her sudden outburst, Lily also had a look of pure inspiration on her face.
'The perfect prank for The Marauders' She grinned, looking deviously evil. It was quite scary. Leaning over, she whispered her plan into my ear so no one could overhear and I had to admit, it was an amazing plan.
'Lily, are you sure about this?' I bit my lip, unsure of how the plan was going to go. It would take a lot of guts, something I wasn't particularly sure I had.
'Positive.' Lily looked incredibly determined, I was guessing her mind was completely set on this prank, and I had to complete it. Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes and completely focused my brain onto the image in my head. I felt myself grow slightly and my body change posture. After a couple more seconds I opened my eyes and bit my lip again.
'Do I look alright Lily?' She grinned mischievously.
'Stunning, take a look' Turning, I faced the mirror and had a look at myself in the mirror. I now had waist long blonde hair, big brown eyes and perfectly formed cheekbones. I had a petite waist and skinny, but long, legs. My usual side fringe had been pinned back, and I looked effortlessly beautiful. I was wearing skinny faded jeans, a white vest top and black leather jacket that fitted me perfectly. On my feet I wore my usual army boots, but with a chunky heel at least five inches tall. Lily stared at me in shock, but was still wearing a mischievous grin.
'Black wont know what hit him..' She trailed off; I was guessing she was imagining his face when he saw me.
'Remind me of the plan again?' Lily placed her hands on her hips, and told me the plan for about the fifth time today.
'Okay, so I'll walk into the Great Hall, say there's a new transfer student from Beauxbatons, and that she's incredibly beautiful, Sirius will think he has a chance because he's that arrogant. You'll walk into the Great Hall, try to be as confident as possible by the way' I nodded and she continued 'Then you'll walk up to Sirius, ask him if he knows where the Charms classroom is and can he take you there, he'll jump at the chance, take you there, you'll thank him, come back into the Great Hall, hand in hand, where I will have brought Sirius' number of girlfriends into the Great Hall where they see you snogging an-' Before Lily could continue, however, I interrupted:
'EXCUSE ME?' My mouth had dropped open from surprise and shock.
'You heard me, it's just a snog yo-'
'I am not snogging Sirius Black!' I practically screamed.
'You already promised you would! You cant back down on a promise!'
'If I'd have known what I was promising I wouldn't have promised it!'
'Well its too late! Now will you let me carry on?' I said nothing, and Lily sighed, 'Thank you, now, they'll see you snogging' Ignoring my glares she carried on 'They'll get so angry at Sirius, and you'll be appalled at the fact he has so many girlfriends, that you'll stand on the Gryffindor table and yell that the Sirius Black is gay, and has a crush on Peter Pettigrew' She grinned, and I imagined Sirius' face, I had to admit, it would be hilarious..
'Okay, im in.' Lily grinned and said to wait five minutes before she walked into the Great Hall. I breathed in deeply, come on Avalon, I thought, you could do this…
(SIRIUS POINT OF VIEW)
I hadn't talked to Rusty in a while, I thought as Lily walked into the Great Hall, taking a seat next to Prongs, who looked like Christmas had come.
'Hey guys, guess what?' Lily grinned and we all leaned in expectantly. She continued once she saw she had our full attention. 'There's a new transfer student from Beauxbatons, she's incredibly beautiful apparently, all the guys have been rejected by her though, and she's single!' Prongs and I exchanged mischievous looks and I ran a hand through my hair smirking.
'Well then… This could be fun, bet she's-' I stopped talking when I saw a beautiful blonde girl enter the Great Hall. Everyone seemed to stop and stare as the girl seemed to make her way over to the Gryffindor table. She spoke in English, but with a hint of French. As she spoke I couldn't help but notice her eyes were strangely familiar…
'Excuse me? Could one of you possibly show me where the Charms classroom is? I seem to be abit lost' She smiled and exposed a set of perfectly white teeth. This was my chance I thought, and jumped up to greet the beautiful girl.
'I could! Allow me to introduce myself, I would be Sirius Black, and you?' I smirked and held out my hand for her to shake, but she eyed me wearily.
'Erm.. I'm.. Sky, Sky Topping' I noticed her pause, like she wasn't sure of herself.
'Well Sky Topping, let me show you to the Charms classroom' She smiled and we walked away, but not before I turned round and glanced at James, who was smirking, and at Lily, who surprisingly looked incredibly guilty…
We walked for a while in silence, occasionally talking about school, and ourselves and I noticed she was incredibly smart as well as beautiful. When we reached the classroom we stopped and talked for abit, and I suggested that I walk her back to the Great Hall, so we could talk abit more. Interestingly, she agreed almost too eagerly, and we walked back to the Great Hall hand in hand, the conversation much less awkward.
(AVALONS POINT OF VIEW)
I accepted Sirius' suggestment, but couldn't help but blush at my eagerness. We walked back to the Great Hall hand in hand, and I couldn't help but think what I had to do next.
Turning, we entered the Great Hall chatting about our classes the next day and before Sirius looked, I glanced over to the Gryffindor table, where sure enough, Sirius' girlfriends were staring in shock and almost horror. Sirius turned to look what I was looking at, but before he could I turned his head to face mine and while he looked confused, I leant in and kissed him firmly on the lips. After a few seconds, Sirius responded and deepened the kiss; it was only after a few more seconds I realised who I was kissing. My mind was racing but I couldn't stop now, I had to get revenge.
I placed my arms around his neck and he placed he arms around my waist. We kissed for a while and he pulled me closer to him, so I deepened the kiss yet again, running my hands through his hair. After what seemed like an eternity we broke apart, both gasping for breath. What in Merlins name had just happened? I grinned sheepishly and he smirked, running a hand through his now messy hair. I linked my hand into his and walked towards the Gryffindor table, towards the stares of James and Lily. I winked at her, and it was then that Sirius noticed his girlfriends.
'Merlins beard...'
'What?' I asked pretending to be innocently confused. A girl with blonde wavy hair and a massive chest walked over to us, and slapped Sirius. His mouth dropped open, and I struggled to contain my laugh.
'WHAT THE HELL SIRIUS? YOU SAID I WAS THE ONLY GIRL IN YOUR LIFE AND I TURN UP HERE AND FIND THAT YOU'VE GOT TWO OTHER GIRLS YOU SAID THE EXACT SAME THING TO? AND NOW YOUR SNOGGING THE TRANSFER STUDENT?' She screamed at a now red-faced Sirius, while the others stood behind her glaring at him. I spun to face him, now was the time to show my acting skills…
'Excuse me Sirius? Did she just say you have three other girlfriends? And you just made a complete fool of me, you didn't even try and stop us kissing!' He looked at the ground sheepishly as I tried to keep a straight face. 'I can't believe you!' I yelled as I jumped up onto the Gryffindor table, grabbed a bowl full of mash potato and threw it at his face. Everyone along each table looked shocked, but the other three girls followed me, one grabbing a jug of pumpkin juice, another a boat of gravy and finally, a bowl of jelly from the Hufflepuff table. All three were thrown at Sirius and he looked utterly shell shocked. James, Remus and Peter were laughing their heads off at their friend's new look, while Lily was looking both, triumphant and confused.
Spinning round on my heel, I walked out of the Great Hall, extremely pleased and also bewildered.
(SIRIUS POINT OF VIEW)
Sky and I were getting on amazingly; we had walked into the Great Hall, where Sky had turned to kiss me. It was an amazing kiss and I was pleasantly surprised. We broke apart and walked over to the Gryffindor table, where I then remembered Sky's eyes had been a weird colour of purple, with flecks of green. Hadn't her eyes been brown before?
(AVALONS POINT OF VIEW)
I ran up to the Gryffindor Common Room and raced up to the dormitories, I had felt my eyes change colour after the kiss, what if that had given me away? I rushed into the bathroom and found my eyes were grey, I was obviously confused, with a rim of black as usual and unexpectedly, they had flecks of purple. Oh god, this could not be right. I did not love Sirius Black. It was just a pleasant kiss, that's all. Nothing to worry about. Now all I had to do was explain to Lily why I didn't announce to everyone that Sirius was gay as we planned…
A/N Hey guys! I had abit of writers block, and couldn't figure out what prank to write about! And I know, 'Sky' wouldn't really go to Sirius to ask where the charms classroom was and then come back to the Great Hall, but I couldn't think of anything else:L
I also didn't know what table was next to Gryffindor but I figured Ravenclaw and Slytherin are at the end and Gryffindor are 1 table away from Slytherin so I just guessed Hufflepuff
Input is extremely welcome, and please review:D
