DISCLAIMER: The characters are not mine, the settnig is not mine. The idea is, except for the prank food. That belongs to my reviewer, Ruth3. Thank you!

chapter eight~ Pranks, Plans, and Pictures
"James, you are not serious!"
"Um, two replies to that. One, no, you are, but that's been terribly overdone, so I guess I'll go with two. Yes. I am. We are throwing an April Fools Day Dance." Sirius squealed like a child who'd just been told Christmas was early. Peter and Remus looked equally happy.
"This is wonderful!"
"You have to work for your fun, Padfoot."
"You mean you're giving me a job?" Sirius whined.
"Everyone gets a job." James looked down at the clipboard Lily had handed him after her talk with Dumbledore.

I'm going to finish reading this, then I'm to go talk to Lily. 'at eight, at which time, all pranking will be ceased. Professor Dumbledore will make sure of that!

"What attire are we going for?" Peter asked. James scanned the clipboard.
"Doesn't say. I don't think you need to be in full formal, but look nice. Anything else?"
"What exactly are we doing for the food tables?" Remus asked.
"Oh, prank food. Nothing permanent, age appropriate, but if you stick to that, whatever you heart desires. No love foods, Sirius."
"Man! You ruined my plan." James laughed.
"Anything else? No? Okay. I've got to go talk with Lily. It is now February 15th, we have a month and a half. That should be plenty of time, right?" The Marauders agreed. "Okay. I'll see you guys. With ideas!" he called as he left the Common Room. He walked down the hall to the Heads Common Room, but it was deserted.
"Genevieve?" he addressed the portrait outside the room. "Have you seen Lily?"
"Yes. She was holding a Prefect meeting in the Transfiguration Room."
"Thank you," he called, heading in that direction. He heard her voice floating out of the room as he approached.
" . . . have a copy of the schedule, and you need to stick to it. No switching, understand? Unless something urgent comes up, and then you see me. Me, got that? Okay. I think that's everything, then. Oh, and Hogsmeade weekend tomorrow. It's posted, but just a reminder. All right, you can go."
He stepped out of the way as a swarm of Prefects rushed from the room.
"Lily?" He poked his head in.
"Oh, hello, James," she said, glancing up briefly from her clipboard. He entered the room.
"I have a small question."
"Shoot," she said, eyes still scanning her notes.
"There was one line that I didn't quite understand. Right here," he said, pointing. "The one that says 'Heads will open with the first dance.'" She looked at him and bit her lip nervously.
"Yeah," she said, tucking her hair behind her ear. "I was, uh, meaning to mention that to you. Dumbledore's idea. You don't mind, do you?"
"Not really, I guess. Just a formality, right?"
"Oh, yeah. Of course."
"Right. Well, no avoiding it, then. Anyway. Hogsmead tomorrow. If you want to come with me, we can get the prizes from Zonko's or Honeyduke's and check the bookstore for the pranker's book that Dumbledore mentioned. I checked the library, and I don't think it's there."
"Okay. Sounds good. Now, you gave the Marauders their assignments, right?"
"Yes, and, as far as I know, they are gathering ideas for the food table, which they should be ready to present tomorrow, so if we meet them in the Three Broomsticks at two, we can get to the shops to finish buying what they need."
"Okay. It's a plan."
"Great."
~~~
"You're going to Hogsmeade with Lily, Prongs?" Sirius raised an eyebrow.
James sighed. "Sirius, don't even start. It's strictly business."
"Oh, okay. Business. Right," he said in a tone that made it clear he didn't believe it.
"Padfoot," James warned. "We are buying supplies for the dance, under Dumbledore's orders."
"Speaking of Dumbledore," Peter cut in. "He came by while you were out and dropped this off." Peter handed him a large package.
"Did he say what it was?"
"No. But he said you'd be needing it."
"Okay. Tomorrow guys. At two. Three Broomsticks."
"Right, Prongs," Remus said. James left, toting the heavy package behind him.
Once outside the portrait hole, he shifted the package so he could carry it easier. He pulled it into his Common Room and set it on the floor.
"What is that?" Lily asked.
"I have no idea," James replied. He pulled it to the center of the room and tore the brown paper off. As he opened the large crate, his breath caught in his throat and tears formed in his eyes.
"What is it?" Lily asked again.
He took a deep breath. "Our photo albums and Katie's treasure chest."
"Her treasure chest?" He lifted it out. It was a carved oak chest decorated with flowers painted onto the brown wood. Her name had been painted across the lid. Carefully, he undid the clasp and lifted the lid. Inside was a lacy white gown, a small blue book, a faded pink blanket and several other trinkets.
"My mom kept treasure chests for us. In them she put our baby books, baby blankets, first lost tooth, locks of hair, christening gowns, other trinkets and childhood relics. They're also called memory chests. I have one at home, and this is Katie's." Rummaging through it, he pulled out a framed photo of a young boy with messy black hair holding a baby wrapped in a pink blanket.
"Is that you?" Lily asked. James smiled as his photo self waved at Lily.
"Yeah. That was taken right after Katie was born." He lifted out the photo albums, and flipped through them quickly. The nine books were full of pictures of James and Katie and their family.
"You'll use these for the memorial, right?" James nodded. Carefully, he packed the crate again and set it in a corner of the room.
Late that night, he sat in his room, writing in his journal.
Dear Katie,
I'm back! This dance is going to be an absolute blast! We've been planning and prepping all week, and tomorrow I'm off to Hogsmeade with Lily to buy necessary supplies. We've got to buy prizes for the award ceremony and books for the Pranking Coaches. A.K.A. The Marauders.
Plus, Remus, Sirius, and Peter and preparing our food for the evening. I don't want to know what they've come up with so far, but it's bound to be crazy. So, they'll give us their list and we have to buy supplies for that. It's going to be great, but more than likely, tiring. Oh, well.
Also, Dumbledore gave me our photo albums today. It's very nostalgic to be looking through them, but they do make me laugh. Anyway, I've got to go. Sorry this letter is so short, but I don't want to be falling asleep over my butterbeer tomorrow in Hogsmeade!
James
~~~
"Where to first?" Lily asked him as they entered Hogsmeade.
"Hm. Good question. The bookstore's right here. I guess that will be our first stop." They entered Merlin's Pages to their right.
"May I help you?" a short witch asked.
"We're here to pick up the books Professor Dumbledore requested," Lily told her.
"Ah, yes. I have them here," she said, disappearing behind the counter. "That will be two Galleons and seven Sickles." Lily paid her with the money Dumbledore had given her. She and James went to Zonko's and Honeydukes, having a great time picking out prizes to give for the awards. At quarter til two, snow was floating lightly through the air as they made their way to the Three Broomsticks. The other Marauders were already there and waved them over.
"Are you all finished with that list of ingredients for your prank food?" Lily asked. Remus launched into an explanation of simple enchantments for the food. There would be pastries that gave you feathers, punch that made you lose your voice, and numerous others. James listened with amusement, wondering how many crazy ideas Sirius had come up with trying to get around the rules.
"All of these enchantments can be removed from the food, right?" James asked.
"Yes."
"Okay. Are we going to need someone to watch the food table?"
"Might be a good idea," Lily said. "We can pull a Prefect from the 'Safe' Corner. How about Ruth McKee, the Ravenclaw seventh year Prefect?"
"She would work."
"Please. Lily, James, I'm begging you. Take me away from the 'Safe' Corner. I'll gladly do food!" Remus was absolutely pathetic.
"Fine. You can watch the food table during your 'Safe' Corner session. But you're at the Prank Coaching the rest of the time, right?"
"Right." The conversation shifted from topic to topic, until it was time to go back to the castle. Remus, Sirius, and Peter had already bought the supplies they needed, much to James' happiness.
He lay in bed that night, thinking. It had been a great day. But his thoughts kept turning to the time when Lily had tripped as they came out of Zonko's. While he was helping her pick up the packages, their hands and met, sending tingles up his arm again. He shook the thought from his mind quickly. Lily was just a friend, wasn't she? What was happening to him?

Aren't you glad it's SUPER WRITING WEEKEND? I am! I am feeling much better about this chapter than the previous one. Unfortunatly for you, the next chapter deals with the dance. The problem? I'M OUT OF IDEAS FOR PRANKS!!! Have you never heard of audience participation? please help. You've been so very good about reviewing. If everyone comes up with just one prank, I should have more than enough! Thanks, much!
Sorry about all the lines in the layout. I had to do that to get it to come out right when I uploaded. it's still not exactly how I want it, but it's close enough for jazz.
trashcan87: I like the journal idea, too. I have a journal like that with one of my friends. We write notes to each other in it all the time.
Andufeniel!: Aw. Thanks!
~!~Jade~!~: thanks for your idea. I'm going to include a teacher prank, I really like that one! And I hope the Katie memorial turns out okay, too!
Ruth3: Thanks for your idea! I added you to the story, did you catch that? I had to make up a last name, of course, but that's how it goes. Hope you have a good time in New York! They should(cross your fingers)have the blackout prblems sorted out by then.
NAncy: thanks for your concern. I got over it, as you can tell.
Channy: HOpe you keep reading!
Musicizdbest: Yay! Another M*A*S*H fan! Hawkeye is more of a James-type character to me. Remus is definately Dr. Freedman. But I love both characters. I haven't seen that movie, and my library, small as it is, proabably doesn't have it. *Sigh* the disadvantages of living in a small town.
LittleLambo34: Yeah, no A/C was probably the worst part of the blackout. Apart from not being able to write, that is.
PLease, please, PLEASE give me some more prank ideas. I want the dance to be a good one, and I'm facing . . . dun, dun, dun . . . WRITER'S BLOCK!! NOt for the story, don't fret your minds ove that. Just for the pranks! So, roll 'em in. I thank you much!
