The Revenge of Voodoo Dolls
Chapter 2
Disclaimer: The Lily, James, Remus, Sirius, and all those characters we know belong to J.K. Rowling. Only Sarah and the plot belong to me.
Nearly a month has passed since the farm animal prank. The Transitions had spent every free second getting ready for their prank. After all that hard work, the prank was ready. The dolls were made, the reinforcement spells were cast, and the Incurable potion bubbling and waiting in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. Admiring the Transitions so much, Moaning Myrtle gladly kept any intruders away from the restroom.
The Marauders became more and more tense and scared everyday. They had a very good reason to be. From past experience, both the Marauders and the Transitions learned a few signs that could help them determine the degree of embarrassment the prank would cause them. One of them was that the longer the opposite group puts off their revenge prank, the more embarrassing the prank will be. Not surprisingly, both groups have a scale similar to the Richter scale: a scale that determines the degree of embarrassment, 1 being not too embarrassed and 10 being very, very, very, very embarrassed.

The Marauders sat on their beds in the 5th year boy's dorm each pondering their own worries. James broke the silence.
"I don't like how we aren't getting any pranks this week as revenge for our prank. And, they aren't talking to us. Something's up."
"Maybe they're admiring from afar. I hope Tara is admiring me. She's cute." Said Sirius, pretending to fix his hair in front of a mirror.
"Sirius, you know that Tara hates you. Here's an exact quote when you asked her out. 'I will never, ever go out with you even if you are the last guy on earth."
"But..."
"Sirius, I mean it. Back to what I was saying. Something's not right."
"You mean this?" teased Sirius, reaching over and tapping James' head.
"Stop it already! This is serious!"
"Huh? Where? Who? What? I only see one Sirius and that's me!"
"Sirius!"
Sirius wisely stopped joking. James sounded VERY annoyed and you don't want to know what happens when he is 'VERY annoyed'.
"Alright, alright! You're right. I can feel that something's not right. Ya happy now!" cried Sirius.
"What do you think, Moony?" asked James.
"Zzzzzzzzzzzz."
James prodded Remus awake while trying to look hurt. Sirius had dropped on the floor laughing too hard.
"Huh? What!" mumbled a drowsy Remus.
"Did you really think we're THAT boring?" pouted James.
"Uh no. I'm just tired. The full moon..." answered Remus.
Sirius cut after finally calming down.
"Then let's go stir up some choas!!!"
"Sirius," laughed James, "you're hopeless!"
"What are you waiting for?" asked Sirius.
He ran over to his trunk. About 10 seconds later, he had everything possibly needed for pranks ready. Both James and Remus laughed again before slipping on the invisibility cloak and sneaking out of the boys' dorm and out of the Griffindor tower.

"This prank will be rated a perfect 1,000,000 on the Marauder's Embarrassment scale." said Sara happily.
"I can understand your excitement, Sara. Being a chicken was bad enough, but a PIG! Now that's really insulting!" agreed Lily.
"Hey Tara! Why aren't you talking? You're usually the one doing all the talking. Aren't you excited?" asked Sara.
"I am. I'm just thinking of some good things to do to Sirius tomorrow." answered Tara.
"Ooooh! Tell us..." began Sara.
Lily cut in. "Hey! Why don't we test the voodoo dolls now!"
With that, the girls each cast an invisibility charm on themselves. Soon after, the Griffindor portrait hole door opened and shut.

CRASH!
"Sirius! What did you do that for? That was no accident!" hissed James.
Sirius disentangled himself from the knight he had crashed into.
"James, it' wasn't me. Something took control over me and practically threw me on the knight." whined a rather bruised up Sirius.
Silence.
"James?" called Sirius.
Silence.
Sirius heard a very faint scream behind him and turned around.
"Oh! My! God!" Sirius's jaw dropped to the floor. That was all he could say. There was James and Remus dancing. James was dressed in black, shiny tap-dance shoes and a frilly pink dress with white gloves. His black hair had turned into platinum blonde curls with a glittery crown on top. And...he was Russian dancing. Remus, on the other hand, was luckier than James to have on combat boots and an army outfit. The unlucky thing however, was that he was tap-dancing in that outfit. Through the dim light of the nearly full moon, Sirius was barely able see the duck tape that was over his fellow Marauders' mouth.
First a snicker, than a snort, Sirius began laughing hysterically. If looks could kill, Sirius would have died about 10 times with the looks that James and Remus were giving him. Suddenly, James and Remus stopped dancing. With murderous looks in their eyes, they advanced towards Sirius.
"Um, heh, guys. I didn't really mean it. Take it easy." Sirius started in a high pitched voice.
He was interrupted by footsteps.
"Oh no! It's Filch! Quick! Get the Invisibility cloak." James hissed.
Sirius and Remus started frantically searching for the silvery cloak.
"I can't find it anywhere!" cried Remus.
"Me too!"
All three searched even more frantically for the lost cloak. Unknown to them, the Transitions had 'borrowed' the cloak after Tara had tripped over it. The footsteps began to get louder.
"We'll find it tomorrow. Does anyone remember how to do the Invisibility charm again?" whispered James.
"I think I do." said Sirius.
"Then quick, cast it!" said Remus.
"Invisileo Totala! No, I think it is Invisilo Totales. No!!! Now I remember! It's Invisilo Totalas!" Sirius cried.
Sirius had remembered too late however. James now resembled a lion and Remus had nine tails. He himself had solely become invisible. The murderous glint returned to James and Remus' eyes. They once again, started to advance toward the invisible Sirius. The process of killing Sirius Black invisible was interrupted though. Filch and Mrs. Nelore had arrived.
"Ah. What do we have here? 5th years alone in the halls at night. Follow me. I will make sure that Dumbledore punishes you well for this one." Said Filch as his eyes narrowed.
James and Remus looked at each other in terror.
