A/n: hee hee! I'm gonna try to write a chapter a week but no promises! (Ok the person I thanked in my last chapter was from before I had taken the story off ff.net but I still thanked herJ) thank you very much to my lovely reviewers: LizzieCharmed, happy, Ea187 and an angels reflection. You guys are great and keep reviewing!

I got the 2nd Harry potter DVD yesterday! That movie is so great! Did anyone else get the movie?

If you have any ideas for pranks that you'd like used in the story, tell me and I'll use them cause I don't really have many ideas and I don't want to be just the run of the mill 'Oh yeah and they did some pranks that I won't bother to tell you about' so yes please give me pranking ideas! Pleeze! Anyways on with the fic!

"5… 4… 3… 2… 1… lift off!" James muttered to Sirius as he watched Lily cast the charm Wingardium Leviosa on a feather in charms class. He then proceeded to stare at the feather in disbelief as it floated up off the desk. Lily's feather was the only one apparently that had decided to go for a short flight and the professor awarded Gryffindor ten points because of that.

"Good job Lily!" Arabella Figg, one of the female counterparts of the Gryffindor first years exclaimed as Lily lowered her feather onto Severus Snape's head where it got stuck in the hair of the aforementioned Slytherin.

"Lily you have got to show me how to do that!' Sirius exclaimed as he watched Snape whip his head around trying to get the feather out of his hair.

"Yeah! That is so cool!" Remus exclaimed as he grinned at the Slytherins' antics. Finally Snape got the feather out of his hair and had taken to glaring at Lily who paid absolutely no attention.

"Alright class! That's good for now. For homework just practice this charm. Dismissed!" The tiny charms teacher, Professor Flitwick, exclaimed from atop his stack of books. Lily and her friends meandered out of the class into the hall where they formed a small little clique in the center of the hallway.

"So which class do we have next" Arabella said as she brushed her strawberry blonde hair away from her blue eyes. 

"Um, I think that we have potions next, with the Slytherins again." Sirius responded as he glanced at his watch, "and that means we have exactly 2 minutes to go down 2 floors and over about 7 corridors which means we should have left about three minutes ago!" At this the students started to race down the hallway.

_~*^*~_

"We made it!" James gasped as he plopped (A/n: love that word!) down into a chair. Lily followed his lead and plopped down into the chair next to James while the rest of the Gryffindors settled themselves in chairs around the circular table that they had adopted for themselves.

"Good afternoon class." The teacher said as she walked into class, "My name is Professor Hardwick, now before you get too well settled into your seats I will be putting you into a seating plan. At this table" She pointed to the table where all the Gryffindors were at "we'll have Evans, Mindelan, Avery, Nott, Malfoy and Snape. Over here we have Figg, Potter, Bulstrode, Crabbe, Goyle, and Parkinson. Black, Pettigrew, Lupin, Lestrange, MacNair, and Crouch here and finally Raynier, Davin, Queenscove and Katire at the last table. Now move to your new seats." Sirius and Remus glanced apologetically at Lily as they walked over to their table. James grabbed the seats closest to Lily's' table at their own so that they still would be able to talk to her.

"Well, well. What do we have here? A mudblood I believe." Snape said as he sauntered over to his newly assigned seat with the rest of the Slytherins that would inhabit the table, arrayed out behind him.

"Why you little!" James exclaimed as he jumped up and got ready to throw a punch in Snapes direction.

"James calm down!" Lily exclaimed jumping up "I don't even know what it means so it's not really much of an insult if it means nothing to me!"

"Lily, mudblood means someone with dirty blood supposedly; it means that you aren't pureblood. It isn't something someone often hears in civilized conversation." Arabella explained as she dragged James back down into his chair before the teacher noticed the commotion between the two tables.

"I don't care if he calls me names." Lily said with a roguish glint in her eye "We can always get him back later" Lily then turned around and started to copy down the notes that Professor Hardwick had written up on the board.

_~*^*~_

"Lily what did you mean when you said 'We can always get him back later'" James asked as the 6 Gryffindors were sitting in the common room later that night.

"Well, Remus should certainly know what I'm talking about." Lily explained as she brought attention to the violet eyed boy who was shaking his head as if he knew that Lily was going to do something mischievous.

"Well what is it Remus?" Peter Pettigrew a new addition to their group inquired.

"She's gonna play a prank on him, and man oh man her pranks are not nice to be on the receiving end of." Remus said with a faint grin, "I should know."

"Remus! I said sorry!" Lily exclaimed.

"I know. I'm just teasing" Remus replied with a full-fledged grin.

"You didn't tell me that you do pranks!" Sirius complained with a wolfish smirk, "not that it's a bad thing."

"You mean that you do pranks too?" Lily exclaimed with delight.

"Yup!" the group chorused (with the exception of Sirius who said "Yuppers!")

"Ok. So now what are we gonna do to Snape?"

_~*^*~_

           "Shhh! Ok the password's Gobbledygook." Arabella whispered as a section of the dungeon wall opened. It was about 2 in the morning and the Gryffindors were infiltrating the Slytherins' lair so as to play a prank on Snape.

"How did you know that Arabella?" Sirius inquired.

"Oh you know, female persuasion on certain hormone ridden not to mention stupid boys…"

"You didn't! Oh that's just not right!" Peter exclaimed as everyone grimaced.

"I didn't actually do anything, I just said I might. Of course I won't actually"

"Well that's a relief." Sirius said.

"Whatever"

"Let's go!" Lily whispered once Sirius and Arabella had finished bickering. The Gryffindors made their way into the Slytherin common room and up to the boys' dormitory to lay their trap. Lily headed into the washroom to switch Snapes' shampoo with grease while Peter kept watch at the door. James and Sirius set up water balloons over top of Snape's bed while Remus and Arabella colored all of Snapes' clothes pink.

"Guys! We need to leave something so that he knows that we did this." James whispered as everyone gathered around.

"We need a group name!" Remus murmured.

"The Gryffindor First Years?" Peter suggested.

"No too obvious… The Mischief Makers?" Sirius proposed.

"No, how about The Marauders?" Lily suggested.

"That's perfect!"

"Brilliant!"

"Inspired!"

"We bow down before you O Great Name Bringer!"

"Oh get up!" Lily exclaimed, blushing slightly as she wrote in the air 'Brought to you by the Marauders! Making Mischief since 1977', "Ok, let's go!" The Marauders then proceeded to creep out of the Slytherins' lair and back to their own.

_~*^*~_

A/n: OK guys! That's all for now. I'll write again as soon as I can. I'll get it up sooner if I have more reviews * hint hint nudge nudge wink wink * Pleeze review! It's in that little box down in the corner! You know where it is!
