Hey I'm back.
Mystic- Where did you go?
Oh no where. Just to my own insane universe.
Mystic- Ooooook. Moving on.
On to what?
Mystic- The story duh.
Oh. Right the story of course.
Mystic- *shakes head in a pitying way*
Disclaimer- I don't own anyone/ anything except the plot.
Sirius… Uh… Yellow
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
James crept along the hallway under the invisibility cloak with Remus and Padfoot. All of them were silent except Padfoot would give a random bark. Finally they reached a portrait of… well… It wasn't really anything. It was a pure white canvas with a dot in the center. Actually the only unusual thing about the picture was that the dot would change colors every once in awhile. That and that the dot could talk. Though it was really shy and rarely said anything.
That portrait was so boring that everyone just over looked it. Everyone that is except the Marauders. They were so interested in why that portrait was there they spent one whole week standing in front of it. Examining every inch of it in almost all their spare time. That's how they found the hidden room behind it.
They then put a password on the room and used it as their hideout/ storage room. This room was where they finally perfected the Marauder's map. Where they planned their biggest pranks. That room was where they made their biggest magical accomplishment. That same room was where they finally became Animagi.
"MWPP Forever." James whispered to the dot they… or should we say Sirius named Paul. Paul bobbed up and down a bit and opened up to reveal a room larger than the Gryffindor common.
"Soooooo… What exactly is wrong with Sirius?" Remus asked letting Padfoot loose and hanging the invisibility cloak on the cloak rack.
"I just remembered why Sirius was never allowed to have a Hyperpop before." James said while rummaging through the research they had so they didn't need to run to the library to look up a spell or potion for their pranks.
"Why?" Remus lay on the couch to rest. Padfoot unfortunately wanted to play catch and was bugging him to throw the ball.
"He's allergic to it." James simply stated. "When we were both seven my dad brought some for us. They had just come out and we never had them before. That was when we realize he was allergic. Just one kept him hyper for eight hours."
"EIGHT HOURS!!!!!!!" Remus shot straight up causing Padfoot who had been sitting on him to fall down. "I am not being kept awake for another how many ever hours it takes to wear off. I need my sleep!"
"Cool it Rem I know of a potion to counter act it. Now if only I could find it." James said on his stomach looking at the bottom row of books. "Ahhh here it is!!!"
"Good. So what do we need?"
"Ummm…" James ran his fingers along the list of ingredients. "Well it looks like we have most of the stuff thanks to Sirius's little shopping spree." The both looked at Sirius who had changed back from Padfoot and was wrecking havoc in his little personal corner of the hideout.
"Yah. That's one thing we can thank him for." Remuse yawned. "Though I can think of several more as to why I should just beat him."
"Yep. Well back to business. As I said previously we have everything we need except the salt…"
"WHAT? Why wouldn't we have any salt?" Remus practically yelled. "I mean we have almost every other stupid potion ingredient from worm slime to unicorn horns. WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR SALT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Well unless you wish to go and venture over there and rescue it from the hands of the extremely hyper Sirius Orion Black over there. I would say that all our salt will end up all over this room." James said than yawned while pointing toward Sirius.
Remus turned to look at Sirius who, just like a five year old was taking handfuls of salt out of the jar and was throwing them into the air. Then Sirius would jump up and chase the little white dots until they fell all the way to the ground. Then he would do it all over again. Remus raised an eyebrow. "Nevermind, What else do we need?"
"WHAT!?!? Oh…" James woke up suddenly after drifting off. He peered at the book and said. "We also need to get some Wolfsbane."
"WHAT!!!!!!!!" Remus shrieked in a high pitched voice.
"Huh." James said staring back at the book. "Sorry the sleeps getting to me. I mean we need some Molsane [1]." James shook his head and got up. "We had better get start the potion now."
"Why don't we need the salt and Molsane?" Remus asked while looking at the list of ingredients for the potion.
"Yah but we don't need it till the end so we might as well start it now. Anyway we have to wait and let the potion boil for an hour before we add the salt and Molsane anyway." James said this with a tired look on his face and yawned.
"Ok." Remus agreed. "Let's just have a little nap now." When he said this both he and James lay their heads down on the table.
BANG!!!!!!!!
James and Remus shot straight up and looked at Sirius who had ended up knocking over their book case. Both boys groaned and got up to get the ingredients for the potion. The sooner they made the potion. The sooner they could get some sleep.
It took them a while but they managed to get a cauldron boiling with the potion. Going to the portrait hole they grabbed James invisibility cloak and left. Sirius was occupied by using the couch as a trampoline so they thought it would be safe to leave him alone for 10 minutes.
Little did they know that Sirius had his wand and about 3 minutes after they left he decided that the couch wasn't bouncy enough. He transfigured the couch and started to bounce higher and higher waving his wand around sending sparks all over the place and knocking stuff over, transfiguring different objects, and just plain making a bigger mess then was already there.
Just then the portrait opened to let in James and Remus. This caused the coat rack that Sirius had accidentally changed to a ax to cut right into the rope that held the chandelier up. Sadly that chandelier was right over one part of Sirius's trampoline. It sent him flying toward the cauldron which had amazingly hadn't been touched.
Now note the wording. The cauldron hadn't been touched thought the potion was another story. He had accidentally knocked some frogswort into it. That caused the potion to change from a nice aqua color to a… well a puke color. And Sirius was flying toward it.
Quickly grabbing his wand James shouted out a spell that made the wall above the cauldron soft. Sirius hit the wall and fell right into the cauldron of puke colored liquid. James and Remus used a extra large cauldron because the others had been next to Sirius when they started the potion.
"That was close." James said turning around to look at Remus. "A second longer and we would've had to clean Siri off the wall."
"Uh… James?" Remus said staring palely at the cauldron.
"Yah what?" James looked at Remus curiously.
"James that cauldron was set to boil when we left."
"Oh no." James and Remus ran to the cauldron worriedly. Hoping that they wouldn't find a boiled Sirius.
