I apologize for my long hiatus, but I am back to working on this story once again. There will be around four more chapters before the end of this.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.


"Padfoot-"

"Potter."

"What are you mad at me for? It's not my fault you wasted all that time in the hospital."

"Yes, it is! Snape hates you, and I'm your best mate, so therefore he hates me!"

"You hate him, too!"

"True. Anyway, what do you want?"

"Sirius, you have until Friday to come up with a way to make McGonagall laugh. Today is Monday. What's your plan?"

"Plan?"

"Yes, plan."

"Sirius Black needs no plan. Sirius Black waits for no one!"

"You're waiting for Minnie to laugh, so your slogan is irrelevant. Padfoot, do you-"

"Yes, fine, I have a plan."

"Good, because your last idea was terrible."

"It was not!"

"Yes, it was. You could have at least made Peter start growing flowers out of him, or something. Turning Peter pink is so first year!"

"Well, I distinctly remember you doing it a few weeks ago, so you're a filthy hypocrite, Potter."

"The pot calling the kettle black."

"Actually, I'm Black, so what you just said is irrelevant, as well."

"…Whatever, Padfoot. What's your idea?"

"Well, since you said I can't turn Peter pink-hypocrite-I thought I'd transform your face into a stag."

"…What?"

"And what better place to do it than Transfiguration? Oh, look at that! As a matter of fact, we're sitting in it, now."

"…What?"

"This will score me double points, because Minnie will laugh at how ridiculous you look-which I don't know why she's not doing now, by the way-and she'll see how impressive my Transfiguration is!"

"What?! Sirius, this is ridiculous! I'm great in Transfiguration, too! You can't possibly think I would allow this-you looking like a do-SIRIUS! GET RID OF IT!"

"Calm down, mate. Aren't you feeling at least a little better that Lily's out sick?"

"No! …Well, yes, but, Sirius! How could you-"

"Quite easily, really-"

"Mr. Black and Mr. Potter! What seems to be the issue?"

"Sirius turned me into this!"

"James provoked me!"

"Oh? How so, Black?"

"We were arguing about things, and he made me angry, so I turned him into Stag Man! Pretty funny, right, Minnie?"

"Black-"

"Did you laugh? You laughed, didn't you?"

"Black, you have detention. Mr. Lupin, please take Mr. Potter to see Madam Pomfrey."

"Well? Minnie, did you laugh or not?"

"No, Mr. Black, I most certainly did not laugh."

"...Damn."
