Sirius dropped down into his seat and grinned happily at James. The boy looked up from his chess game with Remus and raised his eyebrow and he saw one grey eye close as the boy nodded. Remus caught this and questions began to flow.
"What've you done?"
"Not a lot."
He moved over to his trunk and pulled out a copy of the latest Quidditch magazine and started to flip through the pages. He could feel Remus' eyes on him and after a few minutes shut the magazine and dropped it next to him.
"Okay Moony spit it out."
"Well come on what did you do Sirius?"
"I thought that we needed a bit of cheering up so this year we're going to rule Hogwarts."
Remus scrunched up his face in a confused manor so James elaborated on it.
"We've decided this year we're really going to go for it prank wise. We've let the girls think that they're better than us, and we've taken it easy on the entire school this year will be different."
Sirius and James both grinned wickedly and Remus couldn't help but grin back. He packed away his chess set and sat down opposite the pair.
"Okay so spill."
Sirius barked a small laugh before looking around as if ensuring nobody was listening.
"Well you know how Pete went up to Hogwarts with Branwen this morning well we gave him a potion to give to the house elves."
Sirius elbowed James and so he continued.
"Well he'll convince the House elves to put some into every jug and then when we're at the feast it will take affect."
"What does it do guys?"
"Well James made it so he should tell you."
"It'll make it so nobody will be able to talk. When they try they'll end up singing instead. It only lasts two hours but it'll be so good."
The three boys laughed as James pulled out a pack of cards and dealt them. As he handed a pile over to Sirius he stopped.
"Where did you go?"
"Oh I snuck into the carriage that Regulus was in and put some dung balls into his trunk. He'll think that they're chocolate and share them with Adrian and then there'll be fun."
James laughed as Sirius played the two of hearts. Remus put down the five of diamonds and then he placed the five of spades and they watched as the pile exploded. Remus grinned at James whose eyebrows were peeling off.
"You know what I remember reading about some muggle pranks and I think I know how to get the girls."
Sirius sat up straight and stared at him.
"How?"
"Let me look into it and then I'll let you know."
The boys continued playing exploding snap until they reached Hogsmeade. Then climbing into a carriage the three headed up to the castle to see if Peter had done his job.
Just want to let you know that for the next two weeks there's probably not going to be a post because I have two essays to write and two seminars to prepare, but as soon as they're out of the way you'll get you next post
