Well he it is.
Mystic- What?
My final chapter to this story.
Mystic- Really? You mean you're really gonna finish a story.
Oh shut up. This was only supposed to be a one shot anyhow. Don't ask me how it managed to become three chapters long.
Mystic- Well why shouldn't they ask you? I mean you're the author.
Well you're the muse.
Mystic- Well you're lazy.
Oh yes I know.
Mystic- …
=D Now on with the fic.
Disclaimer- I don't own anyone. And yes I know that some of the stuff in this chapter might no be very likely/ possible. But hey I don't really care. And I also know that the time is a bit.
Mystic- *Snorts*
Hey. I tried. Now let's start this fic.
Sirius… Uh… Yellow
James and Remus stared helplessly at the cauldron when the water started to bubble.
"What the…?" Remus put this hand on the rim of the cauldron.
"What?" James looked at him anxiously.
"It's not hot."
"What do you mean? How could it not be hot?"
"I dunno…" Suddenly a dripping wet Sirius popped out of the center of the cauldron.
"Sirius!" James cried out and then took a good look at his best friend.
"What are you staring at? Help me out!" He climbed out of the cauldron and stood in front of the two of them waving his hands in their faces. Remus's jaw dropped and James just stared. "Jeeze. You two look like you've seen my hair just turned purple or something."
"No it's not purple…" James managed to say while holding back a grin.
"No I wouldn't say it was purple. More of a Yellowish shade to me."
"Yellow?" He reached up to touch his hair. Pulling a strand he looked at it. Staring at it with wide eyes he let out a piercing scream and fainted collapsing into the pot.
"Oh no you don't." James said grabbing his shirt before he could drown. Yawning he turned to Remus. "What do you say we get some sleep then wake him up Mr. Moony?"
"I like the way you think Mr. Prongs." He then waved his wand and transfigured the trampoline back into a couch while James stretched out a arm chair.
~*~
The next day they were woken up by the utterly random ramblings of Sirius as he tried to fix his hair.
"What's up Padfoot?" James asked wiping the sleep from his eyes.
"Oh nothing beside my hair is YELLOW!!!"
"Yah so." James called back as he went to wake up Remus.
"So… SO! I LOOK LIKE A STUPID MALFOY!!!!!!"
"Did you try dyeing it black again?" Remus asked as he started putting all the books back on the shelf that Siri had knocked over the night before.
"Yes!! That was the first thing I tried. And look at this!!!!" He transformed to Padfoot and barked.
"What in the world?" James said starting snickering again. "Her Remmie chack this out." Remus turned and smiled.
"Aww what a cute little doggy." He went over to pat his head when he changed back.
"It's a Labrador retriever!!!!!!." Sirius wailed. "My poor inner grim turned into a Labrador!!!!"
"Hey just be glad it's not a poodle." James called out from the entrance where he was pulling the chandler back up to the ceiling.
"How could you two be so calm?!?!" Sirius cried as he flipped through the pages of a book he picked of the floor.
"Well it's not our hair." Remus said as he reached up to place some books on the top shelf.
"Yah and that it's your own fault." James said grunting as he held the chandelier in place while he tied it up there. "You know your allergic Hyperpops, you prat. Why in the world did you have to eat one?"
"Hmph…" Was his only response as he continued to flip pages.
"You do know that your never gonna find anything useful in their right?" Remus asked as he looked down at him.
"What?"
"That is Sir Sheptold's Guide to Pruning Plants." Sirius looked at the cover and shoved the book onto the shelf. James laughed and with a wave of his wand gathered up all the salt that Sirius had spread everywhere. Closing the jar of salt he went back to the entrance of their hideout.
"So you two coming?"
"Coming?" Sirius looked up from another book he had pulled of the shelf. "Where?"
"To lunch you idiot. We slept through breakfast and I'm starved."
"I can't go out looking like this!! I have an image to uphold."
"Ok. But then don't come crying to us when you get hungry. You coming Moony?"
"Yah. Hold on." He put the last book on the shelf before going after James.
~*~
A couple hours later James and Remus came back into talking.
"Can you believe Peter actually got himself a date?" James asked Remus as they climbed through the portrait.
"No but at least someone will go out with him. It might make him more confident."
"No, no, no!" Sirius exclaimed from the corner.
"What?"
"It's white now." Sirius moaned as he pulled yet another book of the shelf.
"Hey I just spent all morning putting those books back!" Remus exclaimed as he looked at the growing pile of books Sirius had gone through.
"Well then you can spend all evening putting them back too." Sirius shot back as he grabbed yet another cauldron and started mixing ingredients.
"Are you telling me that you've tried all these potions and none of them turned your hair black?" James looked at the dozens of cauldrons placed around the room.
"Yes. Now where is all the stupid sugar?" Sirius lifted several jars searching for the desired item.
"I dunno." James sugged. "Remmie?"
"Not a clue. Wasn't the sugar beside the salt?"
"Oh yah. Hey Si we figured what happened to the sugar."
"Really?" His head poked out of the mess of ingredients.
"Yah."
"So what happened to it?"
"You did."
"…Oh that's just great." He wiggled to get out when he stopped. "Oh great I'm stuck."
"Well transform. Your animagus is smaller and you should be able to wiggle out."
"Oh yah." He transformed as they watched. Just one look at him and James and Remus started cracking up.
"That's just great." Sirius said as soon as he changed back. "I'm a stinking poodle now." They then spent the rest of the day making more hair coloring potions. Each of them changed his hair into a different color and a different kind of dog except black.
"It hopeless, Siri." James said after testing another potion. "We're out of ingredients.
"On the other hand we have fifty different potions that will turn peoples' hair into a multiple of different colors." Remus said labeling another bottle of failed potion.
"I'm doomed." Sirius fell back into an empty armchair. "Well I've nothing left to loose. The world's over for me."
"Oh stop over reacting, Padfoot." James got up and pulled his best friend from the chair over to the entrance.
"Where are we going?"
"To dinner I'm not going to let you starve yourself."
"Yah Paddy. Just be glad you got it back to yellow." Remus said coming up behind them.
"Yep. Purple and orange so did not suit you." James laughed at that thought.
They walked into the great hall and everyone turned to look at the Marauders. Whispers of, "Whoa did you see Sirius Black's new hair color." And, "Oh yah He looks even hotter than before." Followed them as they went to sit down.
"Hear that Sirius. They like it." James said as he grabbed a piece of meat.
"Really? Yah." After that he perked up and the next two days he spent being admired for his new hair color.
Then around 7 in the evening the second night all the Marauders were sitting at dinner talking.
"You know Rem." James said watching yet another girl complement Sirius on his hair. "I'm not sure which is worse. Sirius hyper or Sirius with yellow hair."
"Yah but it should ware off any moment now." They smirked at eachother.
"Are you sure?" James asked him in a whisper.
"Positive. I even looked it up twice." The smiled as Sirius ran his hand through his hair. Suddenly Sirius let out a shriek. The entire student body looked at Sirius who was patting his now bald head.
"My… my…" He looked up at James and Remus who was cracking up. His eyes narrowed. "Do you two know anything about this?"
James looked up and stared at him cracking up so hard all he could do was nod. Still that was all Sirius needed. He lunged across the table at James and Remus. Falling backward they two unfortunate Marauders kicked free of their chairs a sprinted as fast as they could out of the Great Hall with a beet red Sirius screaming all the nasty thing he would do to them once he caught them.
Everyone else in the Great Hall just stared shocked at two of the most popular guys in the school rush out with another popular guy yelling for their blood in shock. They all just sat there for a moment with their jaws wide open. Then slowly the entire Hall broke out in laughter.
At the high table Dumbledore whipped a tear from his eye and leaned over to McGonagall who was smiling despite herself. "Those boys will either be the death of us or the one thing that will keep up living."
McGonagall smiled at him as he continued. "I bet you five Gallons that Mr. Lupin, and Mr. Potter come back bald as well."
"Dumbledore!"
