A/N: ALAS, ALAS! I HAVE FINALLY UPDATED! *scattering of applause in stadium* *bows deeply* I had way too much stuff to do to update, but I finished the story a long time ago *hangs head in shame* so, when I get off my lazy bum and type this, you will have the rest of the story.

"Here, we have something for you." Harry said. "A picture of Gildroy Lockhart, since you love him so much." The picture was of Lockhart with his curlers still in. Sirius thanked them-sarcastically, of course-, then threw the picture at the nearest wall and left it there.

"You're welcome." Harry replied as he and Ron left.

Harry and Ron met up with Hermoine at lunch, where they told her about their divination class. She tried to look stern, but she soon burst out laughing.

It was during History of Magic that Harry had his great idea. That night, he called the Dream Team, the Dynamic Duo, and the Marauders together in a corner of the common room.

"I have an idea that will turn Hogwarts upside down." Harry told them.

"Sounds like fun. Where do we put the winches?" Fred asked.

"Shut up and listen. Now, our three groups are the worst troublemakers Hogwarts has ever seen, right?" Harry asked.

"Right" the others agreed.

"Well, since we're all here at the same time, why not take advantage of it?"

"What do you have in mind, Harry?" Ron asked.

"Nothing more than a Prank War. The rules are like this: we pull pranks from now until April, trying not to get caught each time. In the beginning of May, the group that has gotten away with the most pranks gets to have the other two groups do whatever the winners want for one month. How about it?"

"Count us in." Fred and George said in unison.

"Sure, we'll accept, but be prepared to lose" the Marauders replied.

The Dream team pulled the first prank that very night. They turned the houses upside down. In the Slytherin common room, they put pictures of Gildroy Lockhart and made the furniture pink and fluffy. Also, there were fluffy pink bunnies of all sizes everywhere.

Hermoine made the bathrooms forty degrees below zero, and it was soon snowing. The dorms, on the other hand, were 120 degrees, and it soon started to rain.

Ron cut the arms off the robes, shortened them, and mixed them up so that each dorm had the wrong robes. The Slytherins were given pink hair, except for Snape, who was given blood red hair with the dark mark in it. Underwear was turned pink as well.

The Hufflepuff dorms were next. The furniture was turned into jagged rocks, the carpet was the ugliest shade of green imaginable, and the walls were brown. The dorms were rainforests (complete with local wildlife), and the bathroom was a desert, which meant no water in the taps. Hermoine managed to find a spell that let her take control of the ghosts, and she took control of Moaning Myrtle and the Bloody Baron. Myrtle was made to kiss the Hufflepuff boys, and the Baron was to kiss the girls. Once they had kissed every person at least once, the spell would be broken and the ghosts would remember nothing. As a final measure, the robes were done the same as the Slytherin's.

The final victim of their plot was the Ravenclaw dorm. The common room became a pit of snakes with mummies guarding the edges. The boy's dorms were pink and frilly with pictures of the Backstreet Boys, N'SYNC, and the Beatles. The girl's dorms were filled with cars and brooms and pictures of girls and spiders. The last step was to make the robes maroon, frayed, and lacy. Then, their work accomplished, the Dream Team returned to Gryffindor and went to bed.

I finally got over my writer's block and finished the story. Now I just have to type it.
