Ch. 2

James Potter walked slowly down the stairs to the entrance of the Slytherin common room. Tonight was the night that they were going to pull their prank on Snape. He had to be very quiet, but that is a difficult thing when you are under an invisibility cloak with one of the loudest people at Hogwarts. He supposed that is was against Sirius's nature to be quiet. He would have preferred to have Remus along but Remus was getting some well-deserved rest. The fact that Christmas was the day after the full moon had really worn him out. James and Sirius had let him stay and rest. Besides, according to Sirius, the "perfect prank" cannot be executed while one is half asleep. James thoughts, which had been upstairs with Remus, were brought back to earth as Sirius tripped over the invisibility cloak. To bad the invisibility doesn't cover up sound James thought rolling his eyes at Sirius' clumsiness.

"Sirius be careful! You are going to wake up the whole school!" James scolded.

"Stop worrying the common rooms are sound proof." Sirius said. James just shrugged. He had always preferred to be safer than sorry, but Sirius had always loved the rush and was the most spontaneous person he knew. James was about to start down another flight of stairs when Sirius grabbed his arm.

"This is where is supposed to be, I watched some second years yesterday the password is, hell I hate to say it, horrible password, you'd think the teachers would change inappropriate passwords…" Sirius muttered. James rolled his eyes. I do that an awful lot around Sirius he thought.

"Just spit it out." He said impatiently. Sirius took a deep, and somewhat dramatic breath.

" Mudbloods stink." Sirius whispered, "hail lily, hail lily, hail lily…." Sirius muttered trying to reconcile himself for saying the foul word. Lily was a muggle born witch, as was Sirius' mother. He hated to say the word because he knew there was nothing wrong with muggle borns. James being a pure blood had always just waved the word aside, but Sirius took it personally. James never argued with his reasons, but he did think he was a little uptight about it, but then again, it wasn't his place. The door they had been standing in front of opened at the mention of the password and they stepped inside.

It was the dullest place James had ever seen. The dying fire, the dark green high backed chairs, and the stone snakes on the walls of the room turned it into a very foreboding place. James made a mental note to never go back. Sirius seemed unfazed by it. He turned to James and pointed to a corridor off to the left, which James decided was probably the way to Snape's dorm. It was very surprising to James that Sirius knew so much about the Slytherin dungeons, but then he thought he probably learned it from his father. Sirius's father had been in Slytherin, and Sirius took as a great personal insult, he had never liked the Slytherins, he had told James that he wondered how he even liked his father if he had ever been associated with the "evil ones". Sirius had managed to get a lot of useful information out of his father though, one of the reasons that James was standing in the dorm room of his worst enemy. He had to remember to remind Sirius never to let him go back again.

He quickly located the bed that Snape was sleeping in; he felt a lot of sympathy to the bed that had to hold the slimy bastard. Much to his delight Snape had a teddy bear in one hand and was sucking his thumb. He could just make out Sirius's gleeful expression. Sirius motioned to James to pass him the tube of slime Remus had made for them to put in Snape's hair. According to Remus, who had always been the brains of the operation, it would turn his hair pink. It would come out after four washings though, but since Snape never washed his hair, that probably wouldn't be a problem. Sirius took the gluttonous sludge and smeared it in Snape's already slimy hair. The goop was absorbed into his hair and it turned a brilliant shade of pink. James silently thanked Lily for making him bring her muggle camera as he snapped a photo and dashed out of the dorm Sirius at his heels. They flew out of the door and tore through the school afraid that a Slytherin was after them. Panting and gasping for breath the two arrived at the portrait of the fat lady. Sirius turned to James.

"Remind me… never… to go… in there… again." He said still trying to catch his breath. James smiled.

"Only if you promise to do the same for me." James replied.

"Request granted, Quidditch, Quidditch, come on lady wake up!" Sirius yelled to the portrait on the wall. The fat lady just kept snoring.

Sirius muttered a number of swear words under his breath. James laughed; Sirius always had a way with words. Suddenly the fat lady swung open to reveal a very tired looking werewolf.

"My what colorful language Sirius." Remus said yawning. James looked at Remus wide-eyed.

"What – how – but, oh never mind, thanks for letting us in." James said very confused.

Remus just looked up at him.

"I am a werewolf, I can hear much better than you can, your yelling woke me up, the only way to get you to shut up is to let you in, thanks for the sincere gratitude." Sirius gave him a hug and proceeded to give a very detail rendition of their prank. James just walked up to bed, very glad to fall asleep and waiting for the next day, imagining the shock Snape would get, slowly drifting into unconsciousness.

Also thank you to tomzgurl77 for reviewing, keep them coming!
