Chapter Four
James is so stupid, after his
conclusion that Narcissa Maltaser is perfectly normal (yeah right!!) and we
laughed at him, he pouted and stormed off up to the boys' dormitory. Guys can
be so pathetic. So now that he's gone I turned to Piper, who had gotten down
from her chair and was sitting on the floor attempting to complete her charms
essay.
"He
seems like a flake," I stated to her, she looked at me, slightly confused.
"Who?
Corey?" she asked, she can be so dense sometimes.
"NO!
James, he thinks he's all that and a pumpkin pasty. I mean what's wrong with
him; did he sit on his wand?" This is what I thought and no one was going to
change my mind, anyone dumb enough to date Narcissa is pond scum.
"Oh,
sure," this obviously wasn't what Piper thought, "So what's Corey like? Is he
nice, does he smell good, come on spill the every flavoured beans!?"
"Yeah
spill," Dasani piped up.
So I told them all they wanted to
know about my current other half, which wasn't much since I'd only spoken to
him once.
The
next day everyone was all hyper up, since the major was to be pulled at
breakfast. Only a few people knew who pulled these pranks, I was not one of
them, although I got the feeling that Piper might have a good idea. However it
was clear that they were Gryffindor's and very talented ones too; I would love
to meet them and congratulate them on their practical joking. But anyways, we
were sitting at our usual places when a loud *POP* broke our conversation,
everyone looked in the direction that the noise had come from, the Slytherin
table.
Severus
Snape, who I knew because we are forced to be partners in Potions, was standing
up, his chair had fallen over; a very appalled look on his sullen face. His
hair which was usually an oily black had turned neon blue and was now styled in
ringlets; not only that but his robes had disappeared and he was dressed in
only his boxers which had little snitches on them.
The
whole hall (minus Snape) burst into laughter, even the teachers looked rather
amused, and in the air above Snape writing appeared, it read;
In
green; Moony thanks all for their
appreciation and points out that Snape has chicken legs.
This disappeared and was replaced
by:
In
purple; Wormtail agrees with Moony and
adds that Snape should close his mouth because flies are beginning to gather in
it.
The vanished and was swapped for;
In
blue; Padfoot applauses Wormtail for his
observation and thinks that Snape would be better off living as a hermit, for
he makes everyone ill.
Then finally;
In
red; Prongs agrees with all previous
comments and says Snape is a stupid git whose nose is to large for his own
good.
A display of fireworks followed
and everyone laughed even louder as Snape stormed out of the hall, still in his
boxers and blue curls.
After
this the rest of the day seemed boring, this always happened when Moony,
Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs made an appearance, because it stuck in your mind
for the rest of the day and you hope that they'll come again. I myself like
Prongs, his comments seem wittier than the others, and more sophisticated. I
made the mistake of telling this to Piper and was laughed at, and told that
they were all good, and that I was imagining things. Sometimes I wonder if she
knows something Dasani and I didn't.
But
this is the least of my worries, I have a two roll History paper due on Friday
and I haven't started yet, I hate Prof. Binns.
.
I kept working into the night on that essay, the common room was completely
empty when I heard whispering, that made me look up. James Potter, Sirius
Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew were all crowded in the other corner of
the common room whispering. There was something fishy about it. If the common
room hadn't been empty their words wouldn't have traveled all the way over to
my side. I couldn't make out most of what they were saying but certain words
stuck out like: Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, Prongs, and Flying Underwear. I was
just getting interested, wondering what the heck they were talking about, when
Sirius spotted me.
"What do you think your doing?" he said
"I'm writing my History of Magic essay. What do you think your
doing?" I replied
"That's not what I mean. What do you think your doing spying on us?"
he said irritated
"I wasn't spying on you!" I said really annoyed
"Padfoot lets not fight with her. Let's just go up to our dorm and
talk." James interrupted "Fine, okay, come on you two." he said.
James, Remus, Sirius, and Peter got up and headed towards the boys dorms when
it suddenly hit her.
"What did you call him?" I called out
"What are you talking about?" James replied
"Did you call Sirius, Padfoot?" I asked
"No." he said flatly and they disappeared up the boys staircases. I
sighed. I give up; I'm not going to finish this damn essay. Let me fail, I
don't care anymore. I got up, stretched, and headed towards my dorm to sleep.
The next morning I woke up, got dressed, and went down to breakfast. I scanned
the crowd for Piper and Dasani. I found them and went and sat by them.
Dasani and Piper were laughing. Then I realized that the whole Great Hall was
laughing. I looked around and noticed. By golly, flying underwear. Snape was
running around snatching all of the underwear he could out of the air. Suddenly
there were sparks and writing appeared in the air.
It said, Moony says, you brought this upon yourself, Snape, never ever mess
with the Marauders.
It disappeared and new writing appeared.
It said, Wormtail totally agrees with Moony, and bids that Snape should wash
his underwear; we practically died of the stench trying to enchant them.
That writing soon too disappeared only to be replaced with new.
It said; Padfoot gives you warning. If you ever do what you did again, we
will hunt you down and torment you until you think death is the only way
out. *glares*
Finally the last of the writing appeared.
It said, Prongs says, you're an ungrateful git! If you didn't have such
a freaking big ugly nose, and didn't nose into other peoples business, you
would have never risked your life! I should have never helped you. I would have
thought you would have been grateful, but I guess I was wrong. Here is your
warning, either tonight or tomorrow, you shall find yourself victim to the full
wrath of the Marauders. You have been warned.
The writing disappeared and then fireworks exploded. This time nobody was
laughing at the end. The Marauders were going to get revenge on Snape because
he did something awful. The Great Hall was buzzing. Ever one was talking about
what Snape could of possibly done and what the Marauders were going to do.
"Oh he's going to get what he deserves!" said Piper furiously.
"How would you know?" I asked, "Piper do you know who the
Marauders are? And more importantly do you know what Snape did to make them
want to get revenge?"
"Maybe..." she said grinning
"Piper you have to tell us!" said Dasani
"Fine, Fine, Snape was prying into the Marauders secret business. He
almost got himself killed. Anyway, Prongs saved his life and kept him from
being killed. Snape was like way ungrateful and blamed them for trying to kill
him. So now the Marauders are getting pay back." she said flatly
"Alright, now who are the Marauders?" I said. I really want to know
who Prongs is. My god he saved Snape's life, and he's a Marauder!!
"Alright, Padfoot is Sirius Black. He is my inside source. He and I have
been having
"Why? I mean he is just a little twerp." Dasani asked.
"Apparently he is their kind of a look out
"Who is Prongs???" I asked impatiently
"Oh girl, this is really funny, I'm going to laugh at you. Prongs; my dearest
Lily, is James Potter." she said and then she started laughing.
"What?" I said shocked.
"Don't judge a book by
there cover." Piper said, "He may act like a flake, but he really is
a good guy. You just hated him before you got to know him. You were always
saying how you wished you could meet Prongs and how you thought he was the
best." she said quite plainly, and then she started in giggles again.
"Um... okay, I'm going up to our dorm. I need to get something." I
said still shocked. I got up and walked up to my dorm.
