"Take it away!"

"Drink it!"

"No! Remus, don't make me drink it, please!"

Remus smirked at the panicking Black and gave him a push towards the vial. "Oh come now, Sirius, it can't be that bad."

Sirius twitched as James swirled the contents and shoved it in his face. "Ack! No! I will never drink it! Ever!"

"Why ever not?"

"It's got Snivellus in it!" He turned to scramble away but found Remus wrapping his arms around him to hold him in place. "I would never touch anything like that! It's--NASTY!"

Peter grinned at him. "Oh come off it! You lost that game fair and square, and you have to do what the winner ordered!"

James beamed. "And I order you to drink this and prance around. Now," He placed the lip of the vial close to Sirius's mouth. "Here comes the choo-choo!"

There was a momentary lapse of awkward silence as everybody stared at James.

He blinked. "What?"

Remus sighed. "I'll tell you what the problem is, Sirius--is a pansy."

"WHAT!?"

Remus made a dramatic wave of his arms to show how disappointed he was. "And here I was, proud to be friends with him and all along he was a pansy. Oh, woe is me, why did I have to befriend him? We should've invited Lily, she could've taken this like a man, unlike Sirius here." At this, he turned and beamed at Sirius.

The Black's eyebrow twitched as he snapped out and grabbed the flask. "All right, Remus, I get it. Shut up. I'll drink the stupid stuff." With that, he gulped it down.

A few moments passed as he stood still. He smacked his lips and wrinkled his nose. "Snivellus--ugh. Not my flavor." He looked to the others and saw their expressions of glee. "Did it work?"

"Work, it bloody well did!" James chortled. "Do something stupid, quick!"

Sirius grabbed the hem of his robe and twirled it. "My name is Snivellus Snape and I like to pick my nose and skip through tulips in my knickers."

James exploded. "AAH! Go to the Great Hall and do some more!"

"What if the real Snape walks in?" Remus spoke.

Peter coughed and innocently twirled his wand in his hand. "He's currently indisposed in the fourth floor storage closet. He'll be out at around, let's say--lunch time."

James beamed. "Told you he would make a star pupil! Now, anyway," He pulled out the invisibility cloak. "Better put this on till we get you out into the hallway. People will think something's off if there's a Snape wandering around in the Gryffindor common room."

Sirius cackled wickedly. "Those snakes won't know what hit them!" With that, he threw the cloak over his head and dashed out.

Remus tilted his head thoughtfully. "Do you propose we follow him?"

James dug through his trunk and pulled out a camera. "Follow? I bloody well say so! Let's go!"
