Story: This not edited, not done at all! Rough Draft! This story is long for a real short story, but short for an actually chapter story.
And, don't read it and then tell me all the errors in it. I know it is full, I just wrote, and I'm posting it so my beta can read it. Don't say I didn't warn you! That's why I say unedited.
A/N: As I said, this isn't edited, so if I suddenly switch from 3rd character to first, sorry! I'm having trouble deciding which I should do it in.
Disclaimer: yadda yadda yadda, I don't own the Marauders, Lily, Arabella or Clare. I do own however Lealia and Ensile, as well as the plot, but it is following certain guidelines.

The Prank
Lealia made her way to the Potions dungeon later that week. She smiled at Snape as she entered. He grinned at her. When she walked past, she made a choking face to Sirius who was sitting at their table. He concealed his laughter, only his eyes gave him away.
Over the past weeks Sirius had become a great actor, he would have been the best except for his eyes. His eyes got a mischievous twinkle in them whenever he was planning something. Lealia had grow to recognize and love that look. As long as it wasn't something he'd done to her.
Lealia slid into her seat. Professor Goday sat in the back of the classroom, watching the students with a scowl on his face. Dumbledore had set a new testing method in motion for this year. Each student had a chance to teach a subject in their best subject. Many taught to younger years, but Snape had chosen to teach his own year in Potions.
Lealia smiled as she thought about what they'd planned. It was easy enough to set up once they got the equipment. Snape had helped to that, though he would never know. Lealia had him wrapped around her little finger.
Right on the dot, Snape started the class. He was teaching them how to make an Aging potion. Lealia paid mild attention, mostly just stared at Snape with hopes of distracting him. It worked too, more then once he spilt the ingredients over.
He set the class working, and began moving around to help them. Lealia nodded to Sirius. He needed to set up the last part of the plan. She raised her hand in the air.
"Yes Miss Kescle?" Snape said smiling.
Lealia smiled back, swallowing her revulsion. "Hello Professor Snape. How long do I leave the cauldron boiling before I add the ginger roots?" she asked smoothly.
"Professor Snape, I like that." Snape laughed. "You leave it until it begins to turn purple, then add the roots." he looked at the pile she'd made. "But make those smaller, here let me help you." he grabbed her hand and started cut the roots with his over hers.
Sirius came back. He scowled at Snape. "Severus, excuse me, but I think you are in my seat." he said loudly.
Snape snapped his head around and stared at Sirius. "Mr. Black. I am your teacher today, and you will show me proper respect." he stood as tall as he could in front of Sirius.
Sirius laughed lightly and looked down on Snape. "I'm sorry, Professor." he said in a taunting voice. Snape broke the gaze after a second and moved to the next table. Sirius bent close to Lealia. "It's set." Lealia just smiled.
The class was almost finished when Lealia motioned to Sirius to start. He stood up once more, in the pretense to go over to where James and Lily were working. He bent to talk to them.
Suddenly there was an explosion at the teachers desk. Snape's ingredients flew across the room and shattered on the walls. Many students in the front rows were covered. Wood from the desk broke one of the high windows in the wall, and the glass shards cut some of the students. Total pandemonium broke out as students rushed to the doors. Bright lights flashed in the dungeon.
Professor Goday stood up and ran to the front. He found his wand was totally useless against the lights. Sirius walked back to where Lealia was sitting. Smaller explosions happened around the room. Students fled, and Lealia picked up her things and followed quickly.
The Gryffindor's collapsed in their common room. Lealia broke out laughing. "That was brilliant!" Remus exclaimed.
"The looked, priceless!" James joined in.
Lily clicked in. "You didn't, you couldn't.... oh boy... you guys are in for it." she murmured.
Lealia pushed her onto the couch, "Calm down Lil, it'll be fine." she said. "No one can prove we did it."
Arabella stared at her. "You did that? But how? It wasn't magic, I heard Goday trying every ending spell he knew."
Lealia just smiled. Sirius butted in. "You're right, it wasn't magic. Something even better."
Everyone wanted to know what it was. Lealia just shook her head. She grabbed Sirius's hand. "Common," she said. "I want you to help me with my flying." they took off out of the room, leaving the shouts behind.
Lealia and Sirius picked their way to the Quidditch field. The ground was soggy due to recent heavy rains, but the sky was clear as glass. Not even a breeze. They wound through the tents that had taken up most of the lawns. At least they'd left the pitch free.
Sirius laid their brooms down beside each other. They called them up. Lealia had been taught the basics over again already, but was eager to learn as much as possible before she left Hogwarts. She mounted her broom, and carefully kicked off.
Lealia listened as Sirius shouted instructions at her. She flew carefully, only about 10 feet from the ground, across the Quidditch pitch. Slowly she got higher and higher, gaining speed. Sirius smiled as he watched her.
"Lia!" he called out, the wind had picked up. "Race me!"
Lealia barely had time to acknowledge it before he took off down the field. She flew after him. Sirius was a better flier, but Lealia had the better broom. She caught up with him, and they passed the finish at the same time.
Sirius flew close to her. "You beat me." he said slyly. "Now I'll give you your prize." Pulling right beside her, he gave her a kiss. It last a few seconds, but took Lealia's breath away.
Lealia stared after him as he flew down the pitch. Was he nuts? It was stupid to kiss someone on top of two separate brooms. But she smiled. It'd been nice, no matter how short. But why would he kiss her? They were just friends.
Lealia shook her head. She landed the broom carefully. Sirius pulled in behind her. "What, I take your breath away?" he said jokingly.
Lealia smiled at him. "You know it boy." she flirted.
Sirius blushed slightly. "We should probably find out what is going on in the castle." he motioned, and Lealia fell in step beside him. Sirius reached for her hand and she took it. She smiled to herself.
As they neared the common room, they heard someone inside. Not a student, but a teacher. Sirius dropped Lealia's hand and they walked inside. Standing there was Professor McGonagall.
"Miss Kescle, Mr. Black. You will accompany me to Professor Dumbledore's office." she snapped at the newcomers.
"What, you can't find your own way there Minnie?" Sirius said jokingly.
"Mr. Black, I am your teacher and you will show me the proper respect." Sirius elbowed Lealia, that sounded familiar. "Come." she swept out of the common room.
James shrugged. Lily whispered into Lealia's ear, "We didn't tell anything." she gave her an encouraging hug.
"NOW!" McGonagall's voice rang out. Lealia and Sirius scrambled after her. They walked into Dumbledore's office.
"Please, be seated. Thank you Minerva." Dumbledore said from his desk. McGonagall nodded, and left the circular room. "Now, Sirius, Lealia," Dumbledore started, "I heard that you had something to do with the little escape in Potions this afternoon."
"Where'd you hear that?" Sirius said, looking innocent. That was another thing that had gotten better over time.
"Just say a little birdie told me Sirius." Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eyes.
Lealia stifled a giggle. Dumbledore turned to her. "Lealia, what do you know about these explosions that happened?" he asked.
Lealia straightened her dress. "Just that they were magic." she said.
"Where did you hear that?"
"Professor Goday tried to end the effect using counter curses, and none seemed to work." Lealia explained.
Dumbledore smiled. "That is correct. They were not magical, in a way. They were special effects." he watched their faces, which showed nothing. These two were good actors. "Taken from the movies tents." he prompted. Still no sign.
Dumbledore sighed. "I have no proof of course." he said. "But I have reasons to believe that you two are responsible." he silenced their protests. "Since no evidence has showed up, I cannot punish you. But, I am warning you, if either of you step out of line, there will be trouble." his twinkle in his eye was still there. "Good trick though, but rather dangerous. How ever did you do it?"
Lealia just smiled. "I don't know Professor." she simply said.
"Well then, back to your common room then." Dumbledore waved them off. "And remember what I said.
Sirius and Lealia left the office and broke out laughing once they were a distance away. "You were right Lia!" Sirius exclaimed. "They couldn't prove a thing!"
Lealia smiled. "It's not like they could trace it back to a wand or anything. It would take a lot of work to provide evidence." she looked into Sirius's eyes.
Sirius bent over. Centimeters away from her face he whispered, "Can they prove with this?" Lealia didn't know what he meant. Then Sirius gave her a kiss. It was longer and more intense then the quick one on brooms. Lealia stumbled, but Sirius caught her in his strong arms. Lealia saw her own fireworks.
What seemed like hours, Sirius pulled back. Lealia was beaming. "Wow." she simply said.
Sirius got down on one knee. "Lady Lealia, would you do me the honor of being my girlfriend?"
Lealia stifled a giggle. "Yes, Lord Sirius, if you get off your knees, you look like a fool." Sirius stood up. Lealia stepped forward and planted a kiss square on his lips.
Together they made the way up into the common room, holding hands all the way, and sneaking in the occasional kiss.
