SLYTHERIN'S AND SPRING



Life calmed down after Christmas and Lily and James were back to being a couple.

Gryffindor tower enjoyed the peace and hoped it would last. But as spring approached they were getting a little restless.

"What is happening to us?" Sirius asked no one in particular

"What do you mean?" Annie gave him a confused look

"When was the last time we pulled a prank?…I have not had detention for nearly a week now!" he grumbled and the others just laughed

"OK…anybody got any ideas?" James asked, "I would hate to see Padfoot go with out a detention"

Not really listening the girls were busy talking about the fact that it was spring and the new fashions in "Young witch"

"Are you guys listening?" Remus scowled at Aggy who shrugged "We are trying to plan a prank here?"

Gathering into a huddle that excluded the boys Aggy whispered to the other three girls and they all laughed. Turning back to the boys she said "We've got an idea…interested?"

But without waiting for an answer she carried on "Well it's spring so let's teach Slytherin's about the joy of spring". The boys waved their hands for her to continue "It will need an enchantment Potion…so that who ever drinks it is fill with the joys of spring every time they here the trigger word…spring". Watching the nods of approval "Secondly we tie in a charm that will cause the drinker of the potion to develop the physical attributes of say a Lamb…say after the fifth activation of the enchantment"

A familiar grin spread over Sirius's face "I like it…but the finally needs to occur in the great hall during either breakfast or dinner"

Lily joined in "Dinner (more people in the great hall)…This is when the transformation takes place and they will sing 'Spring, Spring, Spring'"

(a/n: song from 'seven brides for seven brothers'-musical with Doris Day)

"The only question now is WHO?" Marie chirped

Smiling Sirius said "The one and only Snape"

James glanced at Lily and even though he hated the soft spot she had developed for Snape, he hated her being upset even more "No…Let's get Malfoy instead…That git has been driving me mad recently" and he smiled at Lily who now looked relieved.

The plan was set Sirius would get the ingredients for the potion, Peter and Remus would make it. Aggy, Lily and James would sort out the charm (a little bit of transfiguration needed so James was included) and It would be up to Marie and Annie to get Malfoy to drink the potion.

Two weeks later the plan was put into action. Pretending to go and talk to someone at the Hufflepuff table Marie managed to back up into Malfoy and spill his juice on his robes.

Before he could complain Annie and Marie had turned their attention to him smiling. Annie got a hanky from her pocket and quickly wiped the juice from his robes jabbering at him how clumsy Marie was while Marie poured him a fresh glass of juice. As they finished their task Marie was barely holding it together combined with what they had done the look of amazement on Malfoy's face was killing her. She gave him a final I'm so sorry and grabbed Annie and ran back to the Gryffindor table where their friends had watched the whole episode.

Sirius looked at them "Quite the little actresses aren't we" and Marie could hold it in no longer. While she sat laughing with Annie the others were watching the Slytherin table closely and as Malfoy drank the juice Marie had poured for him a shout of "Yes" went up from the little band of Gryffindor's. Who noticing the looks they were getting quickly went quiet.



Leaving the Great hall Sirius couldn't help himself he shouted "Hey Malfoy…how are you enjoying this SPRING weather?"

The eight Gryffindor's howled with laughter at Malfoy who while hissing obscenities at Sirius skipped down the corridor. The only classes they had that day were with Slytherin so they were able to keep an eye on Malfoy and ensure the final trigger wasn't activated too soon.

It had been funny to watch Malfoy bounce up and down in transfiguration, which earned him a detention from McGonagall, losing 10 points in potions for skipping into the classroom and being thrown out of the library for leaping up and down in the charms section. By the time dinner arrived the Gryffindor's were relieved, following Malfoy around all day had been hard work.

Dinner progressed calmly that evening until desert was served and Sirius finished the prank.

Smiling at the others he pushed his chair out and stood on it. Arms in the air he shouted, "I would just like to say that this is the best season, I just love SPRING" bowing to the student body who just laughed (because Sirius was always doing something stupid)

Very quickly all attention was turned to the Slytherin table, where a tall white blonde sixth year was growing little fluffy ears and slowly a fine covering of curly cotton wool hair was spreading over him. As the initial looks of shock started to change into smirks, the Slytherin stood up and skipped around the room singing and the smirks changed into roars of laughter.

Only Professor Greenhaulgh looked un-amused and it took her a couple of minutes to get Professor Dumbledore's attention. Catching the look on her face he quickly stood and with a quick flick of his wand returned a very disgruntled Malfoy back to normal.

As the boy returned to his seat a smiling Dumbledore whispered to McGonagall "Outstanding prank…I fear it originated from your house Minerva". They both looked over at the Marauders and she could only nod her agreement as they watched the eight sixth years being congratulated by the rest of the house.

"Excuse me Professor but I hope this outrageous disrespect for my student and the name of Slytherin will not go unpunished" Professor Greenhaulgh had also noticed the scene at the Griffindor table.

Nodding to her Dumbledore rose. "I would like to see the following students in my office immediately after dinner; Agather Court (Aggy winced as he used of her full name), Marie Devon, Lily Evans, Annie Ryan, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew and James Potter". And he sat down finishing a dish of treacle sponge and custard.

As Dumbledore left the Great hall he signalled for the offenders to follow him. Getting up they heard Malfoy and the rest of the Slytherin's sneering at them. But they were cut dead as the line of Gryffindor's pulled their tongue's out at them and preceded to skip after Dumbledore and out of the Great hall to a huge roar of applause from the rest of the student population.



Leaving Dumbledore's office the only person that was truly happy was Sirius Black a week's worth of detention would help to boost his quest for the school title.
