Chapter 10: Pranking Marauders

The bell was ringing when a disheveled Remus, Lily Wren, and Teigra stumbled into Defense against the Dark Arts classroom and threw themselves into their usual chairs. James and Sirius were both laughing at the antics of their best friend. Sirius looked over to him and smiled. "Mate, I don't think I have ever seen you run that fast since... well, ever!"

James continued to laugh, but tried to talk anyways. "Yeah. I think the only way we could ever get you to run that fast again is if we told you that we caught Wren kissing someone else!"

Remus looked over to them with glazed eyes and a smirk on his face. "I seriously doubt that."

Both Padfoot's and Prongs's jaws nearly hit the floor with Remus's statement. They were just about to ask what he meant when their teacher walked into the classroom. They grumbled to themselves and decided to write notes to each other instead.

(Remus, James, Sirius)

What were you talking about Moony?

What are you talking about Padfoot?

Don't play stupid with us. We both know your not that dumb.

Hey I resent the stupid comment. Because if I'm stupid what does that make you two?

Stop trying to avoid the questions!

Oh, you mean with Wren?

Duh!

Duh!

That's for me to know and you to find out.

Mate, that was cruel.

Come on. We tell each other almost everything!

Almost being the key word. You will find out later.

Fine. Anyways that was an amazing fight between you and Wren.

You think so?

Yeah! It was bloody brilliant!

That was nothing really. We were both holding back.

WHAT!

WHAT!

Umm... yeah. We were both holding back and were about to get more serious when Professor Night stopped us.

Moony, remind me never to get on your bad side.

Speaking of Professor Night, what did she want to talk to you guys about?

Oh that. She said that she assessed us all to be about the same skill level so we can only spar one another and she wants us to help her with some of the demonstrations.

Remus took a side glance over to see if Sirius and James bought his excuse. From what it looked like, Sirius's eyes widened and James was extremely pale and looked very scared.

You guys ok?

I was just thinking that I was probably getting off easy on those times where Lily slapped me. If she punched me as hard as you and Wren were going at it, I probably would have been knocked out really fast.

Same goes with me and Teigra.

Trust me when I say that they were going really, really easy on you two.

Time was spent after that comment where the Marauders didn't write one another notes. Remus looked off into space while James and Sirius were having mini mental breakdowns that the girls they like could probably kill them. Suddenly Sirius began to write again.

So what is between you and Wren again?

Remus just smirked evilly, but of course the Marauders couldn't see this from their angle. Just wait and see. Meanwhile he tried to establish a telepathic connection to Wren across the room.

'Hey Aysel?'

'Yeah?'

'I need your help to mess with the Marauders' heads. They are being nosy about what is going on between us.'

Remus could see her smirk even across the room. This was going to be fun.

'Hell yeah! Like I would miss an opportunity to give people heart attacks! It is just like old times. So. . . what's the plan?'

'Do you remember when we were in that bar and we. . .'

'Oooooh! That was priceless! I always did like the way you think. Take a long time packing up your stuff so everyone else is gone. I will tell the girls our plan.'

'Hey, Wren one more thing. Will you be my girlfriend. . .again?'

'Like you even had to ask' Then Wren terminated the link to fill in the Vixens.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Class couldn't end soon enough for the Vixens after they had their plan ready. They were packing up their things really slow so that they were the last ones there. Suddenly Remus's papers went everywhere. Wren looked over in concern. "Here Remmy, let us help you with those."

James and Sirius looked over at them bemused. One: they were helping out a Marauder. Two: Wren called Remus Remmy. Something wasn't right here.

"Thanks, Aysel. I don't know what I would do without you." Now Remus gave Wren a nickname. They were very confused, but they helped their friend pick up his papers. As the two groups were walking out the door, Remus put his arm around Wren's waist and pulled her closer to him. "Love, I didn't get any notes on what the teacher was talking about today. Could I borrow yours?" Remus said in a sweet voice.

Wren looked up at him and chuckled. "Of course, but they are not going to you without a price."

Remus grinned and whispered in her ear just loud enough for the entire group to hear. "I'm sure we can find a broom closet to . . . negotiate the terms for our agreement."

"I really don't know if the closets are safe anymore. Do you remember what happened last time? Filch came to get something and I barely had my shirt on."

At this time both James and Sirius were looking wide-eyed at the couple in front of them. James's jaw was slack and Sirius was leaning against the wall for support. Teigra and Lily were both bright red from embarrassment at the act that their friend was doing and from trying to hold in their laughter.

Remus smiled and turned her around in his arms so his head was on her shoulder. "Then I have the perfect solution! No one is going to be in the astronomy tower at this time. We cold go there and it would be just you and me."

"But Remmy," Wren whined in a cute manner, "I don't walk all the way up there."

"Who said you would have to." With that Remus swung Wren into his arms so that he was now carrying her bridal style.

Wren said, "Much better." James and Sirius had almost fainted at this point. They had never seen their friend this, well . . . Casanova-ish. It scared the living day lights out of them.

Then Lily turned to Teigra and said, "Two months already. Can you believe it Teigra? They make such a cute couple too."

Suddenly, Lily and Teigra started to laugh uncontrollably. Remus let Wren down and they too started to laugh hard. Teigra was laughing so hard she was crying while James and Sirius just looked at each other confused.

Then Teigra started to talk between laughing. "You guys... are so...easy... to mess w-with!"

Lily had finally calmed her laughing to a snicker. "I can see the headlines now! The playboys of Hogwarts have seizures after their friend plays a prank on them." At this time James finally caught on to what happened.

"Moony, that is so not cool. You nearly gave me a heart attack!" Sirius nodded still with a shocked look on his face.

"Mate, if you ever do that again, and I do mean ever I will personally kill you."

Wren just laughed. Then she stated, "I wish I had a camera! Their reaction was priceless!"

Remus looked over and shook his head. "You guys should know me better than that. Plus that's what you get for being nosy. I mean, Wren is my girlfriend and all, but-"

"WHAT!" Four shocked exclamations rang out at the same time.

Lily looked at Wren. "When did this happen?"

"During class."

James then asked, "How? The only notes I saw him write were to us."

Remus shrugged and said in a very sarcastic tone, "Well may-be I'm psychic and used telepathy to ask."

Everyone snickered. Two did it because the idea did sound ridiculous. The other four did it because that was what actually happened. James and Sirius decided not to kill Remus just yet seems as they had a parchment in History of Magic that they still haven't copied from him yet.

Quietly, Remus asked Wren to meet him outside for a while after classes so they could catch up and to also finish sparring. Wren nodded once and then parted with the Vixens trailing her asking about the details.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Remus was getting glared at by the Marauders. He looked at them and gave a nervous laugh as he scratched the back of his head. "Come on guys! It was a joke! Sheesh, are you telling me that you can dish it out, but you can't take it?"

Sirius looked over to him and said, "It's not that. Just that you didn't tell us that you were going to ask Wren out. Plus you broke the never prank your fellow Marauder rule."

Remus sighed. "Asking Wren out was a spur of the moment thing while we were fighting. As for the prank, it wasn't my idea. The girls asked me for my help to prank you guys and I said I wouldn't make a plan for them. They said that they had a plan and that all I had to do was act and there wouldn't be any permanent damage done to my being."

James nodded. "I dub thee free of charges against braking the Marauder code."

Remus just laughed and mentally wiped the sweat off his brow that his lies were believable. "I am glad I am being forgiven."

They all laughed. "Moony, James and I never knew that you were such a good actor! You could have killed us with that stunt!" A almost sinister grin grew on his face. "At least we know we have a new dimension of pranking possible now!"

Remus laughed. "And here I thought I was getting of easy by getting the Vixens to sit with us."

Sirius's and James's heads snapped around to look at Remus now at full attention. James was the first to speak. "What and how?"

Remus chuckled at their eagerness. "Padsie, for someone not interested in one of the Vixens, you sure look rather eager." Sirius looked away at the wall and crossed his arms to sulk. "Anyways, it makes sense that Wren is going to sit by me seems as we are going out. Lily and Teigra won't want to leave their friend alone with you two bozos there, so they will sit by their friend and consequently by us."

James smile widened enormously. "Moony did I ever mention that I love you."

"No, and if you ever did I think that I would get immensely creeped out. I just went from shunned to the seat of honor in less than two minutes," Remus stated more to himself than to the others.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lily looked over to her friend. "How come you didn't tell us that Remus asked you out?"

Wren sighed. "I was busy telling you guys the plan for pranking them and it just kind of slipped my mind."

Teigra groaned. "Now were going to have to sit by those idiots."

Wren looked puzzled. "Please explain."

Lily sighed. "Your going to want to sit by Remus right? So therefore we must sit by you so their idiocy does not overwhelm you. Got it now?"

"Yes, but I don't see what the problem is. You secretly like James, and Teigra is secretly crushing on a certain Sirius." Before the two Vixens could comprehend what she said, Wren was sprinting down the hall. A few seconds later, as Wren was turning the corner, a fireball just missed her back and there were two very angry bellows of "WREN!" Wren started to laugh as she continued to run towards the Dining Hall for lunch.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wren burst into the Dining Hall still running. Everyone's head turned to her to see what was going on. She spotted Remus and crouched down next to him. Quietly she whimpered to him, "Hide me! They're going to kill me!" Remus didn't say anything, but the corners of his mouth twitched upward and his eyes shone with amusement.

Wren playfully slapped his arm for him not protecting her, but crouched back down again when the doors opened again. In came Lily and Teigra smiling. Wren peeked out from behind Remus's back quickly to look at her executioners...she means friends. Yeah friends.

The quick look was all it took for them to spot her. They started to skip over to her and she knew that her life was over. They only skipped when they had something especially evil on their minds, and she had a feeling that she was going to be the target.

They took their seats, Teigra across from Wren and next to Sirius and Lily next to Wren as far from James as possible. "Hello," they said in very enthusiastic voices.

Cautiously Wren answered. "Umm. . . hello? You are not going to kill me are you?"

All of the Marauders had their eyebrows raised at the conversation that the Vixens were having. Lily smiled and stated, "Nope, we vented in a much more appeasing way. Plus if we killed you, we would have to clean everything up, and blood stains."

Teigra nodded her head in full agreement. "That and we are running out of places to hide the bodies."

Wren smiled. "I told you that you could use any area but the beach. I claim that as my own space. You can burry them deep and no one questions why you are digging."

Then they all chorused together, "And the warm sand makes it hard to identify the time of death forcing all blame off of us!" James and Sirius paled slightly while all the Vixens just laughed. For being such nice girls, they sure had planned out how to get away with murder quite well. They decided to try to stay on the good side of the Vixens for a long time.

Wren started to eat when the food appeared on the table and mentally started to ask questions to her two friends. 'What prank did you pull Talon?'

'Come on Tails how did you know it was me?'

'Yeah! It could have been me for all you know!'

'Stripes, you don't have the mental acuity make something evil enough to give you this much satisfaction.'

'I resent that!'

'It was me. First I disguised us as Potter and Black. Then we set up gravity distortions in various places along the hallways. When we finally sensed a professor coming towards us, we ran around the corner and into them.'

'Lily! That is pure evil to set them up for that!'

'We know isn't it wonderful? And the best part is that even if they try to deny it, the teachers won't believe them because they saw 'them' at the scene of the crime and no one else besides us has that much skill.'

Wren sighed while observing the evil grins on her friends faces. 'Sometimes you two are too smart for your own good.'

Lily and Teigra just started to laugh which caused Sirius and James to look at them funny. Remus had an idea of what just happened, but looked questioningly at Wren anyways.

Wren sighed again and gave Remus a message telepathically. 'Tell James and Sirius that I'm sorry.' He raised an eyebrow at her response, but before he could ask further, Professor Slughorn came into the Dining Hall.

"Mr. Potter and Mr. Black you have a detention in my classroom directly after your classes today." James and Sirius looked perplexed.

"Sir," James started, "if you don't mind us asking, what did we do?"

"Don't give me that. Now come with me and get the Slytherins down." Still confused James and Sirius followed Professor Slughorn out the door.

Lily turned to Wren and said, "Well, got to go tie loose ends." She and Teigra got up and started to head out of the hall.

Wren and Remus both looked at each other. "Wait!" Called Remus.

"We're coming with you." With that the four mischief makers walked out of the Dining Hall. As soon as they turned the corner they stopped. Lily was concentrating. Soon a ball of light appeared in her hands then expanded to cover them.

Remus was really curious. "What was that?"

"Oh that?" Lily smiled. "Think of it like the invisibility cloak you guys use but better. No one can see us, but we can see each other and move freely."

"You knew we had an invisibility cloak?" Remus said shocked.

Teigra just smirked. "Of course. We could see right through it. To us it was as if you were doing those things in plain sight." Remus hit his forehead with his palm thinking of all the stupid things the other three Marauders have done in front of the girls thinking that they couldn't see them.

Wren chuckled and stated under her breath, "And now he sees why we laugh so much when they try spying on us." Remus blushed a little, but decided to take a look at the prank the Vixens had constructed and blamed on the Marauders.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

James followed Professor Slughorn very confused. The Marauders were trying to think of a new great prank and here they were being blamed for one that they didn't do. Slughorn turned a corner and Sirius and James followed then burst out laughing. Down the hallway in various places, there were Slytherins floating in the middle of the air flailing to try and get back to solid ground.

Slughorn turned to them. "Okay you had your fun. Now get them down."

James, while laughing, shook his head to the teacher. "I hate to say this, but this prank isn't one of ours. I almost wish it was! However I don't know how it works to get them down."

"Yeah," Sirius spoke up, "The best we can do is wave our wands around a little and say abra kadabra and hope that they..." Sirius didn't even have a chance to finish his sarcastic comment because all of the students fell to the ground with a thud. James's and Sirius's eyes widened at the grumbling students who were now on the ground.

"I expect you two to serve detention with me in my classroom today."

"Wait!" They both said. "We actually didn't do this prank!"

Professor Slughorn turned to them and rolled his eyes. "Of course you did. One: You just got them down, and how could you do that if you weren't the ones who cast it. Two: Pranks are the 'Marauders' M.O. and no one has the skill to pull this off besides the Vixens. But we both know they are too nice to do this to their fellow students. And last but not least three: You both ran into me running away from this hallway right before students started to float!"

"B-but..."

"No buts boys." With that Slughorn started tp walk away. James almost thought he heard someone snicker, but looking around the hallway he didn't see anyone. Therefore he shook it off as sleep depravation.

Sirius turned to face James. "Man this sucks."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As soon as everyone disappeared from view, Lily dropped the illusion that kept them concealed. They looked at each other and then burst out laughing. Even Remus who felt kind of guilty that they blamed his friends couldn't deny the overall humor of their situation.

Teigra was laughing so hard that she was rolling on the ground. "Did you see their faces when Lily undid the spell when Sirius said abra kadabra? It was absolutely priceless!"

"Yeah," Lily answered, "but they almost caught us when you couldn't hod back a chuckle."

"It couldn't be helped! It was to darn funny to watch. Then Potter saying 'We actually didn't do this prank' just sent me over the edge."

Wren smiled at her friends. "We'll just have to be more careful next time. But it wasn't nice to set them up like that."

Remus fake pouted. "Now I'm going to have to listen to them whine about it all night!"

Lily smirked. "Not all night. They do have detention plus Potter has to patrol with me after quiditch. Anyways, I have to find a way to make it so we can talk to each other or have little out bursts like that and no one else can hear us."

Remus tilted his head to the side thinking. "Why didn't you say so? I could have done that for you."

Teigra turned to Remus. "Really?"

"Yeah. You could just use telepathy to talk to one another, but for outbursts, I could make it so the sound waves couldn't vibrate the molecules in the air. I could have effectively caused a sound proof barrier for you."

Lily thought for a moment then spoke. "So that is why we sometimes couldn't really hear what the Marauder's were planning when we should have been close enough to hear every word."

Remus looked a little sheepish. "Yep, I muffled the noise so it would be below human capacity of hearing. I'm guessing you heard sound but not the words seeing as all of your hearing is better than normal." Remus's sheepish look turned to one of confusion. "Wait you guys were spying on us!"

The girls looked at each other and blushed a little. "Well," Teigra started, "Even though we could see the majority of magic in your pranks, we always like to know what we are getting ourselves into. We listened to the planning, then determined how to turn the magic around or negate the affects for us."

Remus just shook his head. "No wonder we couldn't prank the Vixens. They always knew it was coming." Everyone laughed and continued on their way for their next classes.
