Chapter 2- The Feast
"Just remember to start the spells as soon as Dumbledore claps his hands, okay?" whispered Kayla to James, Sirius, Remus, Lily, and Aria.
"We know already!" Sirius hissed back at her, getting tired of her lecturing.
Kayla glared at him, then haughtily walked towards the Ravenclaw table. Lily stayed back and looked at Sirius. "You know," she said to him. "You can get her irritated, or in a bitchy mood better than anyone that I know of. But I can tell you this," she told him with an evil glint in her eyes. "If she goes to bed in a bad mood, and I have to hear about you being an overbearing, moronic, childish, stupid prat one more time, I'm going to make your life miserable. And don't think that I won't." she gave a nod to the others and walked off towards the Ravenclaw table and sat down next to Kayla and across from Aria.
"You know Padfoot," James said to Sirius as they sat down at their normal seats. "Lil there has a point. Not even Malfoy can get her as raving mad as you can." James glanced at his friend and grinned. " Is there something going on here that I should know about? I mean I am your best friend. And I think that if you are going with the most untouchable female in this school, and possibly this world, that I should know, don't you think so, Moony?" Remus grinned at James and decided that this would be a fun game to play. "Oh, yes. I do. So please, do spill, is she good in bed?"
Sirius looked at Remus and choked on air. "I can't believe," Sirius said as soon as he stopped choking. "That you said that. You know as well as I do that I'm not with her, and I now have a very scary mental picture of such a scene thank you very much. I'm going to have nightmare's for the rest of my life!" James and Remus just chuckled, and Peter being Peter didn't get what was going on, so he just smiled and acted as if he got whatever the joke was.
"Tiffany!" Lily screamed as she saw her other friend walk towards the table. She walked over to the girls merrily, and plopped herself down. "Hello." She said as she situated her self next to Aria. "I didn't see you guys on the train, where were you?" the three girls looked at each other, then Tiffany. "Tiff," Kayla began only to be cut off by Aria. "We were in the same compartment that we have always inhabited on all of our train rides." Tiffany looked at them with shock. "B-b-but Snape and Malfoy said that Slytherins were in that compartment, and that I should look else where! I didn't know." Aria and Kayla were muttering something under their breath that sounded suspiciously like plans for Snape's and Malfoy's demises. Lily on the other hand, looked behind her at the Slytherin table, to see to grinning idiots looking at her who most definitely needed to wash their hair.
"Hey, guys," Lily, said all the while grinning at the scheme that she came up with. "You know how we always say that those two gits need to wash their hair?" she asked them and waited for them to nod their heads. "Well, I don't know why we've never thought of this before, but what do you say that we sorta help them out, and make them wash their hair?" anybody who knew Kayla and Aria could see the cogs in their heads working over time at the moment.
Aria looked up, grinned, then took out a piece of parchment and a muggle pen from her robes, and wrote a note to the Marauders about the change in plans. She then gave the paper to a giddy Kayla, which was a rare sight to behold. Kayla then took out her wand, said the simple charm that they had learned during their first year, and levitated the paper over to the Marauders for their approval. It landed on Peter's head, and Remus snatched it off of his head before a teacher could notice, and looked over his shoulder towards the girls. Lily nodded her head and mouthed, "Open it and reply."
Remus looked at the parchment in his hands, and opened it, wondering what it was about. He read in a loud whisper to the rest of the Marauders the following:
Marauders,
Change in plans. Don't do the first prank, came up with new one. We're giving
Malfoy and Snape a couple of baths to get all of their disgusting grease off. You
May use the spells requita aquia for the water, trasporto soapium, and repes
oilnes. You guys do Snape, we do Malfoy. The Elements.
Remus looked up at the others, and saw that their grins were just as wide as his was. This a fantastic prank! Why hadn't they come up with this before? "I always said that those girls would make beautiful Marauders." James said. Remus looked down at the parchment, and scratched, Right after Dumbledore makes his announcements. The Marauders.
Sirius then took the note and balled it up and threw it at the girls. And it hit Kayla in the head. She looked up and glared at him. Sirius on the other hand, just winked at her and blew her a kiss, which resulted in a death glare from Kayla, and left James and Remus shaking their heads at their friends' stupidity.
"Pouncer," Lily said soothingly at Kayla, who looked like she was going to slaughter Sirius on the spot. "Just open the letter. And, you know that he didn't mean it. He's too egotistical to have a death wish." Kayla then turned towards Lily and glared at her. "You know," she said to Lily. "Hunter, you're right. He thinks that he is going to be the last man left alive on this planet, and that he is going to get every fucking girl on this planet to sleep with him. I mean did you see that? He winked at me! He winked! Oh, how I'm going to kill him. While most little girls dream about weddings and husbands and children, I dreamed about killing Sirius Alexandros Black with my bare hands. And one day, I'm going to do it. Oh the glory I'll get. Everybody will be praising me for getting rid of an-" at this point, her speech became muffled by Lily's hand, which was conveniently held tight to her friends mouth. All that could be heard now was, "hef wilth dief munmm miium toidifn." While Lily was trying to figure out what that was supposed to mean, Aria was trying to unclench Kayla's fist so that she could get to the letter. "Aha!" she yelled in triumph when she finally succeeded in getting the letter away from Kayla's grasp. She quickly scanned the letter, and nodded to Lily, who in return looked at the Gryffindor table, and grinned at the Marauders. This is going to be sooo much fun. Five people thought at once, the sixth one a little too busy planning the death of one of the others.
"Students, quite down please. The Sorting Ceremony is about to begin." Said one of the Professors. As soon as every one had done what they were told to do, Professor McGonagall walked in with all of the new first years and led them towards the Head table.
The new first year students looked around the Great Hall in awe. Then turned towards the old, raggedy looking hat that resided on a footstool in front of everyone else. When the brim of the hat opened, most of the students gasped in shock. The hat then began to sing about the houses and the founders of the houses.
"As I call your name," Professor McGonagall stated. "Please step up to the stool and I'll put the Sorting Hat (at this she lifted the hat up) on your head so that you may be sorted."
"Ayner, Steven." He sat on the stool for a few minutes before being declared "Hufflepuff."
"Bumpkin, Nichol..Gryffindor!...Cunnings, Michael...Ravenclaw!..Dunswiler, Isabelle..Ravenclaw! ...Etheridge, Gregory...Slytherin!..Fruiets, Howard...Slytherin!...Ginsaing, Evian...Gryffindor! .... Hindrictsd, Sarah..Hufflepuff!..." and so the sorting went on, and on, and on.
"A few words before the beginning of term Feast." Professor Dumbledore said as he stood up. "The Forbidden Forest, as always is just as the name states, Forbidden." He said this with a glance towards the Gryffindor Table and the Ravenclaw Table. "The Whomping Willow is not to be used as a game, for it is deadly, and it does indeed pack a strong punch. With that said williewilliebinellie." He then clapped his hands, and the six students turned towards the Slytherin table, and started muttering spells under their breath, then sat back and tired to look innocent by eating. Then the laughing began.
Lily looked up at the Marauders and saw that they were kneeled over gasping for breath, and quickly spun around in her seat to look over at the Slytherin Table.
Snape and Malfoy were getting their heads dunked in water bins, then getting pulled out so that soap could be applied, then getting dunked again. This process repeated four or five times before a magical voice came from the spells and declared, "These two gits hairs is too greasy, or oily, or whatever you wish to call it, but the fact is, that no amount of Shampoo will ever help them." The Great Hall roared with laughter at that, and even the strict Professor McGonagall was having a hard time keeping a straight face. And Professor Dumbledore, well he, he was just chuckling at the sight of the scowling Slytherin boys, and the beaming Marauders and Elements. "Now that we have had our entertainment for the night," Professor Dumbledore said as he stood up. "We will give out the customary detentions to Mr. Potter, Mr. Black, Mr. Lupin, Ms. Evans, Ms. Cameron, and Ms. Williams, then we are off to bed. Prefects, please escort your new students to your common room. And those who I just gave detention to please note that that is to be served tomorrow night with the Care Taker. Have a good night."
Lily, Kayla, Aria, and Tiffany waited for the Marauders then began to walk towards their Rooms, all the while talking about how great the prank was, and wondering why they hadn't thought of that before now. "I don't know, I was just looking at them before the Sorting started, and realized that we should do something about the disgrace that they call hair." They then got to the split in the staircases where they had to go their own ways and said their goodbyes for the night, and walked to their respected towers for a good nights worth of sleep.
"Just remember to start the spells as soon as Dumbledore claps his hands, okay?" whispered Kayla to James, Sirius, Remus, Lily, and Aria.
"We know already!" Sirius hissed back at her, getting tired of her lecturing.
Kayla glared at him, then haughtily walked towards the Ravenclaw table. Lily stayed back and looked at Sirius. "You know," she said to him.
