Chapter Thirteen- The Prank
Three days later, the prank was ready to be carried out. Lily, Anna, Alex and Tammy had told Alex, Tammy, and Kyree about it, so combined with the Marauders they had worked out all the kinks along with the Marauders. Their plan was absolutely fool-proof.
That morning they all headed down to breakfast, the Marauders excited, the girls nervous with thoughts of failure running through their heads. What if something went wrong? They could accidentally poison someone or something! (a/n: that was a hint on what the prank is well not really what, but where)
The Marauders quietly reassured them as they entered The Great Hall.
"It's ok, relax. None of our pranks has ever not gone the way it was supposed to." James said.
"What about that one in third year though? That one messed up ba-" Peter said, but quickly cut off as James and Sirius stepped on his foot.
"Don't worry, no one got hurt. The prank was actually improved." Remus said quickly, seeing the look of horror on the girls' faces.
Most of the students were already there, talking excitedly about the quidditch match later on in the day, the first of the season, Gryffindor versus Slytherin.
Lily, her friends, and the Marauders sat down, all facing the Slytherin table. They all darted excited/nervous smiles at each other as the food appeared on the tables. Still more students spilled through the doors, until all the tables were finally filled.
The Marauders and their accomplices didn't notice this, however, for they were staring avidly at the table across from them, where Slytherins were greedily filling their plates.
Anna and Tammy looked at each other nervously as the first bites were taken; Alex muttered quietly, so that Lily, who was sitting right next to her had to strain to hear her "Here we go!"; Remus was gripping his silverware tightly, a spoon full of porridge raised halfway to his mouth, but forgotten; Sirius and James nudged each other, grinning while Peter looked like he was about to pee himself.
The noise level went down slightly as the talking, laughter, and rude remarks died abruptly at the Slytherin table, where everyone was quiet as they ate their peculiar tasting food. They all looked down at their plates or each other in horror.
In mere seconds, the Great Hall fell silent, staring in shock at the Slytherin table, where chaos was breaking loose.
The couples of Slytherin were now staring at each other, for they seemed to have switched personalities and voices. The girls were now looking down at themselves in horror, while the guys shrieked and screamed shrilly.
Indeed, it was extremely disturbing to hear the voice of Lucius Malfoy coming out of the body of the pretty Narcissa Black. Her steely grey eyes widened as they looked at her perfectly manicured nails, felt her wavy blonde hair, and then began to let forth a torrent of deep swear words in a voice way to masculine to be hers.
The Slytherins without boyfriends/girlfriends, however, were being pranked in a completely different way.
All the single girls were now acting as if they were male construction workers, while the single guys now seemed to think they were female, world-famous, belly dancers.
Venissa Parkinson could be seen trying to hit on Kaylana Knott, who currently had the voice and personality of Stephen Cockly, declaring that her name was not Venissa, but "Pablo".
Meanwhile, the guys were dancing in a way that made Professor McGonagall's eyes widen in shock and Professor Sprout's jaw to drop. The "belly-dancers" were definitely dancing in a way that would definitely not have been allowed, but the most disturbing part was that they were trying to dance against the personality-changed boys, as they now believed themselves to be female.
Noise filled the hall suddenly as laughter broke out among the other tables.
The Marauders had struck again.
A/N: Sorry this one was kinda short. And if anyone took offense to this chapter and the prank, im reallyreallyreallyreally sorry, I just got the idea from this hypnotist that did a show on a cruise I went on about a month ago. He made all the guys that volunteered think they were belly-dancers and the girls think that they were construction workers, so if anyone took offense for any reason, sorry! Don't hate me! (And I guess it's one of those "you had to be there" kinda things, so sorry if the prank seems lame to you, but at the moment I lack the imagination to think of something original. If you have any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated)
