"And secondly, you guys have got to like.. disappear for a while." Sirius folded his arms across
his chest, "Whaddya think Moony?"
"You came up with that plan?" Remus teased, "Really, i'm amazed. HOw many braincells did you
have to transfigure up from dirt?"
"Too many."
"Obviously."
"But you think it'll work?"
"Why're you asking me?"
"Because you're the level headed person. You proof-read all my ideas." Sirius said exasperatedly.
"Sirius." Remus caught hold of his arm. "Breathe. Okay? just keep breathing."
"Huh?"
Remus waved off his comment. "Go on, run around like the idiot you portray yourself as."
Sirius pouted, "Moony, i'm hurt by that comment. You've crushed any feeling i ever had.."
"GO!"
"Do you think i should..."
"Bugger off." Remus shoved Sirius out the door.
"OooooOOOOOooooh." Sirius jeered then chuckling to himself ran down the stairs leaping over the
trick step.

"So, whats the deal with the guys?" Jade watched as Arianwen's perfect summoning charm made a piece of toast zoom towards her.
"Three Broomsticks. 2pm." Arianwen summoned the butter and jam.
"Are you just showing off now?"
"Yes."
"Thought so. Just cuz you can point your wand and go 'accio!' doesnt mean you have to go accio
everything you can find." Suddenly a thought hit her, "Do you think we coud summon people?"
"What like Accio Remus?"
"Yeah."
"Somehow i don't think so." Arianwen laughed, "There's no reason why we can't at least try, though. sort of like a project."
"I'm electing me for chief treasurer of this project." Something moved in the coner of her eye.
"Oh! Excuse me a second."
Jade got up, and deftly followed Severus Snape out of the great hall and out of the building.
Little did she know that at the same time she had someone following her, exactly the same.
Snape stopped under a tree and stared out at the lake. He sat down with his potions homework
and inked up his quill.
Sirius stood hidden under the invisibility cloak and watched with glee as Jade pointed her wand
just above Snape's head and quietly muttered "nube della pioggia" and turned round to run as Snape yelled out loudly, above his head was a dark grey cloud that was covering him in heavy rain. Sirius was so busy laughing at Snape that he didn't move out of the way in time. Jade
ran straight into him and they both fell to the ground.
"YOU!" Jade snarled.
"It is?" Sirius asked "Wow, because i was always wondering who i was..."
"Hey Padfoot." James came running towards them. He cast a glance at Snape who was busy trying to reverse the rain spell, the cloud was now following him ound and shooting out the sporadic lightning bolt. "OOh, excuse me, i wasn't aware that you were.. busy." He smirked as Jade shoved
Sirius off and clambered up. "Anyway, we're off to Hogsmeade. The others went earlier. You
coming or what?"
"I'm too busy reminiscing over my loss of my fiance Remus to care." Sirius threw a lock of his
long black hair over his shoulder. "I'm going to sit here and mooch."
James raised an eyebrow. "Mooch? can't you pronounce your S's today?"
Jade threw James a dirty look, who replied with "At least you're coming right?"
"No. Got some stuff to do..."
"In the libraaaaaaaaaaary." Sirius finished off for her, mimicking her voice. "Because if I
haven't learnt all the Italian Muses Charms by tomorrow morning Professor Flitwick will be
annoyed and i wont be able to win back all those house points that Sirius and James lost..."
Jade picked her wand up off the floor and pointed it directly at Sirius. "creatura diabolica della neve."
Sirius let out a yell as his robes turned to snow and he was standing in a human tyre of snow.
"Nice one." James pulled out his wand, "One final touch though... cappello del pixie!"
Sirius stood frozen stiff in a ring of snow up to his chin when a little red cap appeared on his
head. The little bell at the end of the cap tinkled as he shook his head trying to get out.
"WHATEVER IS GOING ON DOWN HERE! POTTER! ALMASY! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO BLACK?" A seething
Professor McGonnagal stormed down the stone steps out into the gardens. "WHY AREN'T YOU AT
HOGSMEADE AND WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO SNAPE?"
"You know," James muttered to Jade as McGonnagal busied herself reversing the spells on Sirius.
"I'd say that the answers to those questions were actually pretty obvious..."
Jade sniggered, her smile dropped as Professor McGonnagal looked at them with steely eyes and
said "thirty points from gryffindor. if i EVER see you inflict such trauma on another student,
believe me i shall take off more."
"YEs, i'm TRAAAAAAAAAUMATISED!" Sirius grinned, "Look at me, shaking like a leaf!"
"Get over it." Jade groaned pushing her way through them and heading back up to the castle.
"That girl needs therapy." James said to Sirius, "Padfood therapy."
"I'm liking that idea. A good spot of Padfoot therapy." Sirius smiled widely. "You think we can get there before she does?"
"Tunnel." James pulled out a piece of parchment. "Its almost finished, i've added that tunnel
from the fifth floor store room."
They started walking up to the castle, "You got Peter to find a charm to give it our personalities yet?"
"According to him, he's working on it in the library, but had a hard time getting into the restricted section." James sounded doubtful.
***
Jade walked into the three broomsticks and sat down nest to Arianwen and Peter, "Where's Remus?"
Arianwen pointed over to the bar where Remus, James and Sirius were conversing in hushed tones,
"WHAT?" Jade screeched
"You okay?" Peter raised an eyebrow, wondering whether to leave now before Jade called in the backup team of Phoenix and Edea.
"They were still in hogwarts when i left, how did they get here before i did?"
"Probably found another tunnel or something." Arianwen sighed taking a drink of butterbeer. She
glanced up at Remus who was now grinning with Sirius, who was busy writing something down on a
scarp of parchment. James wasn't anywhere in sight, which quite a few people found unnerving, due to past experiences.
"Why do i have a feeling he's up to something." Jade sneered down into her mug of butterbeer.
"Do that again and you'll look like Snape." Sirius had whipped over from the bar and now sat opposite of her, staring right at her.
Jade sneered again.
"OW!" Sirius fell against Peter, "Really, that sneer! It's dangerous." Peter still looked unsure.
Arianwen just sat there trying desparately not to grin. "That sneer needs therapy." Sirius whispered to Remus, who almost choked into his butterbeer.
"IS my sneer all you're going to talk about?"
"Well," Sirius gave her the once over, "I COULD talk about the rest of you, but i dont think it'd be wise, seeing as there are little children in the vicinity."
Arianwen was now bowed down, biting her lip, in the vain hope of not laughing out loud. Remus was about to fall off his chair laughing if Arianwen hadn't kicked him under the table, which had effectively wiped the smug grin off his face.
Fine, if Sirius could be a smart mouth, she'd give him a run for his money. "Really, Sirius."
Jade grined evilly. "I'm sure the group of good people here would love to know about the few embarrassments of your wardrobe...."
James suddenly stuck his head round the partition, "What? His pink and blue..."
"JAMES!" Sirius shrieked "Who'se side are you on!?"
"Mine." James shrugged, "Moony old pal, you know about that payback?"
Remus nodded,
"Bring Ari, this... is... UNBELIEVEABLY funny." He turned to peter, "C'mon, you'd enjoy this. Sice you like blue fluff so much."
Sirius stood up to leave with them until Remus put a hand on his shoulder and forcefully pushed him back into his seat. "Sort it out."
"Uhm." Sirius stuck his hand in the air, "Professor Lupin sir?" He grinned, "Do i HAVE to?"
Remus rolled his eyes, following the others out the door.
"Well?" Jade asked summoning another butterbeer from the bar. In return she floated a few coins over to the bartender.
"That was pretty neat." Sirius nodded at her mug, "Anyway, before you leave in a huff as i know you will, because you always do when talking to my charming handsome self."
"How huge is your ego?"
"Wouldn't you like to know."
"Not really." Jade sighed, this was gonna take a long time.
***
James dragged the others over to the edge of Hogsmeade where a very disgruntled Snape was telling Lucius Malfoy about the stormcloud.
"Check out this new charm." James his behind a tree, totally unnoticed by Lucius and Severus, he whipped round aimed his wand at Snape and spoke "avgassee blomstkapper"
"What's that mean?" Peter asked
"Flashing flower robes." Remus translated. "Its a norwegian charm."
"YOU'RE MAKING SEVERUS FLASH?" Arainwen looked daggers at Remus.
"Uhm... no." Remus frowned, "NOT in that way. Just watch."
They heard a shriek of laughter from Malfoy as Snape's robes suddenly began changing colours with little flowers appearing along the hems,
"For the final touch." James whispered.... "dans gjennom blomstene."
Maloy's laugh just increased as of it's own accord Snapes robes belted out a rendition of "tiptoe through the tulips."
"POTTER!" Snape suddenly caught sight of James muffling his laughs in his robes, James looked up to see Snape running towards him with an evil glare.
"See ya!" He yelled at the others as he shot off back into Hogsmeade with Snape close on his tail,
"Love the blossom, Snape!" Arainwen called out after him. "Really suits you!"
"Don't think you'll get away with this." Malfoy drawled as he strutted past, leisurely following his friend by the angry shouts and laughter of other students.
