DRABBLE TIME
THAT'SRIGHT, THIS WILL BE ONE OF THE SHORTEST CHAPTERS IN THIS STORY (mostly cuz of writer's block)
Welcome back, my lovlies!
Oh, and I have an announcement to make.
Since this story is almost over, and I'll be starting a new sequel, this means: New Disclaimer Buddies!
Stewart: WHAT?!
Phyllis: Wait...we're getting replaced?
Tats: But I just got here!
Next time, it will be...MAMMALS and BIRDS! Not REPTILES and AMPHIBIANS.
So yeah, no more of Stewart, Phyllis, and Tats!
Stewart: Fine, then, but we're not doing your disclaimer then!
Tats: But I will! None of us own Harry Potter. Not even the human. All rights to JK Rowling.
Nobody's POV:
"So we're doing it?"
"Yeah."
"It seems a bit risky, though. I mean, what if we get caught?"
"He'll murder us for sure."
"Oh. That's a reassuring thought."
"I don't know about this..."
"Come on, don't back out on us now!"
"What are you three doing in here?"
"GAHHHHHHHHH!"
"Again, what are you doing in here?"
"It's a secret."
"Want in?"
"...Tell me about this secret."
James's POV:
"IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!" I shouted into the Great Hall during breakfast. A few of the students glanced at me wordlessly, but the majority of them ignored me.
I frowned.
"I said, IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!"
This time, nobody looked up at all. Feeling more than a little dejected, I trudged over to my friends and sat down. "Can you believe the nerve of these people?"
They ignored me, too.
I huffed, kissing Lily on the cheek. She didn't say anything, but just continued eating her waffles and scanning the Daily Prophet.
I glanced over at Peter. "Hey, Wormtail, what's going on?"
He paid me no regard.
I groaned. "I swear, on Merlin's beard, if you're all ignoring me as part of some birthday prank, then—"
"Look at Snivellus!" Sirius shouted abruptly. He pointed over at the hallway, and started laughing. I turned my head reluctantly to see the familiar Slytherin with bright pink hair. He was also grumbling. I laughed, thinking of just a few minutes ago when I'd bumped into him. He was grumbling then, too, but his hair wasn't pink.
I glanced at Remus, "Did you guys enchant his hair or something in the past five minutes? You guys work quick!"
Remus turned to Lily. "So how are you, Lily?"
She smiled. "I'm feeling wonderful, Remus. How are you?"
"Fantastic."
"Honestly, what in bloody hell is going on?!" I exclaimed as loudly as possible.
"Language," Peter muttered at me, and then his eyes widened. Remus, Sirius, and Lily all stared at him.
"Run," Remus said, and Peter nodded and dashed out the hall. But before he madeit to the door, I noticed his hair.
It was turning pink.
I stared back and forth between Snape, the doors Peter had just passed through, and my friends.
And then it started clicking.
"Snape was the only one who talked to me today, when he was grumbling earlier. And then Peter..." My eyes widened and I stared accusingly at my so-called 'friends'. "You hexed the school so anyone who talked to me gets their hair turned pink!"
My friends continued to ignore me. I simply nodded, ideas forming in my head. I then stood up and walked to the Ravenclaw table. I stared Bertram Aubrey in the eye.
"Hello, Aubrey, will I be seeing you in the next prefects' meeting?" I asked, mocking sweetness.
He refused to answer me.
I tried again. "I say, will you be attending the next prefects' meeting? If you don't answer me, I'm afraid I'll just have to assume you're not coming, and I won't give you the password needed for the meeting, and what would old Dumbledore say if a pref—"
"Don't be stupid, Potter, I can just get the password from another prefe—" He realized his mistake too late, and I grinned as his hair turned pink.
"I love this!" I shouted at nobody in particular. One of the Slytherins must've muttered a complaint at me, because his hair turned pink, too. I smiled in glee, and ran back to my table.
"This is the best present ever, you guys!"
The three of them stared at me in shock.
"He likes it?" I heard Remus mutter to Sirius.
"He's off his rocker," Sirius replied.
"But at least none of us is getting murdered, eh?"
I smiled slightly at my friends' remarks, and skipped off to trick other people into talking to me.
Well, there you go!
