Chapter 17
A/N: After much thinking, I finally got out of my Writer's block and back to writing. Plus when I got a new review yesterday. Also, Quick Survey at the bottom of this Chapter. Have a magical day! ^^
The winter snow slowly melted into spring flowers and of course the day that the Marauders waited all year for. and this year would definitely be no exception.
"What we need now in a plan of action for the big 4/1, and be able to bet it all done under Professor Greenleaf's nose. We're going to have to be very careful," commented Remus.
"There's also an originality factor. Just about every prank we know has been used in the past four years. Though those new nose-biting teacups just came out from Zonko's. I've already taken the liberty of ordering half a dozen," added Sirius.
"Though a classic, Hogwarts could always use a new flag made with McGonagall's Knickers. Also, Snape deserves a bed full of itching powder and a good embarrassment, placed where everyone can see it," said James with a grin.
"And why not seeing how good Malfoy and Nyte look with neon red hair?" suggested Peter.
"Gryffindor better win the Quidditch Cup or we'll never be able to catch up with all these tricks. Make sure you also add a banner that says: AD&MM. That can be translated in several ways. Let's see. replacing half the teacher's wands with fake ones wouldn't be too out of line," said Gwen.
"Clever. Now I'm going to bed before any of you can force me into helping you. Have a fun night," yawned Lily and left the Feared Fivesome to do their dirty work.
Within the hour, the School was covered with every sign that the Marauders had been there, including an illusion the Slytherin and Hufflepuff had absolutely no house points. Hogwarts' Flag in the Great Hall had been replaced with an enlarged pair of red knickers that matched the current color of Malfoy's hair. While the house elves were sleeping, six of the Slytherin teacups had been replaced with nose-biting ones, and Dumbledore would have no idea what he was doing in the morning, but to say the least, it would be a bad day to make a good first impression.
Then, of course, the Marauder's always had their plans against each other. Peter and Sirius couldn't think of anything to do, and had fallen into a deep sleep. James and Gwen, however, had been planning this out for a couple of months now. The two met over in the staircase to the Astronomy Tower.
"This has to be our best idea ever. I mean, turning all of Sirius socks into snakes was good, but this is tricking the whole school. My eyes are lighter than that though Gwen. You've made them almost black," said James.
"Very good idea. Just remember that you still have to wear a skirt. Otherwise someone might guess what we've done," replied Gwen.
"Next thing I know you're going to make me wear tights. Like First Year."
"Hey! Fooling the teachers into thinking that Peter Pan had visited them was a lot of fun! A bit shorter on the hair though. Just try not to blow it James or everyone will guess that I am you and you are me," said Gwen.
James grinned. "We're still the cleverest students in this school. No one will every think of this before now."
"Do you really think we'll be able to fool everyone Lily?" asked Remus.
"Of course we will. Neither James nor Gwen wills every guess what we've done. I doubt that even those two would have ever thought to do this," replied Lily. She smiled as Remus tried to change his light brown hair red and his gray eyes green.
"You know. It's much easier to dye Slytherins' hair than doing my own," commented Remus. "I'd also probably have better luck changing my eyes red."
"Looks like we might need more ancient magic in order to pull this off," said Lily and conjured a candle in the semi-lit classroom. "This will be a bit more difficult than just waving a wand." She signed and went into deep trance-like state. "This is to feel. This is to touch." Her fingertips lightly brushed the flame, and then she put her hands on her face. "By the power of three times three. This is my will, so mote it be." Pulling her hands back over her hair, it all suddenly became light brown and her eyes were the perfect shade of gray.
"Wow."
"Well it's not extremely hard to do once you know how," said Lily, but it sounded exactly like Remus. Lily clutched onto her throat. "Dear me, I didn't think it was that good of a spell." After a moment of silence, the two started laughing.
"Now you try it," said Lily after they had both stopped laughing. Remus repeated the incantation and motions and suddenly transformed well enough that even Petunia wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
"This should be a lot of fun. I can't wait to see the looks on every one's face when they find out," came Lily's voice. "Bloody Hell we're good."
"Hey, I don't talk like that, so watch your mouth."
"You do now I'm afraid, as long as you're being me."
