The Plot
"Rachel, Ra-CHEL!!!" Lily called as she stepped off the train, looking for some bright blue hair, "Rach- Oof! Ow! Oh, hello Severus!"
"Hello Lily," Severus said, smiling slightly. Which made Lily feel quite special, considering he didn't smile much for anything, let alone anyone. "What house are you starting the year in?"
They started walking towards the horseless carriages and Lily answered, rather distractedly, "I'll be starting the school year out with you. I'm in Slytherin. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go find Rachel. See you at the Feast."
~S~S~S~S~S~
I wish she didn't always have something else to do whenever I'm talking to her, Severus thought disappointedly as Lily walked away, I'll just have to find a subject that she'll want to talk about for more than sixty seconds.
~@~@~@~@~@~
Where is Lily, Rachel thought to herself as she climbed into the nearest carriage, she probably won't recognize me with lavender hair. Oh well, she might come in this carriage. Oh look, speak of the devil.
~L~L~L~L~L~
"Hey Rachel!" Lily said as she climbed into the almost empty carriage, "I thought I'd never find you! Oh, and just to let you know, Sirius says he in love with you."
"And that would something to me, because??" Rachel said unfazed by what Sirius apparently thought of her, "He gets a new girlfriend every week, and I somehow doubt that that will ever change,"
"Now Rachel, don't say that," Lily said, trying to think of good things about Sirius, "Sirius isn't all that bad."
"Yes he is," Rachel replied quickly, "Him and the other Marauders play pranks on us Slytherins all the time. It's normally in the Great Hall though, and you were still in your "Dark Times". No offense."
"None taken," Lily said, "I suppose I'll get a taste of their pranks soon then?"
"Unfortunately, yes," Rachel said, wiping away an imaginary tear, "They normally start out the year with a prank during the Feast."
"We should play pranks on them as well, only it will be worse then whatever they played on us.."
They both agreed, and started writing down different pranks.
This will definitely be interesting. Lily thought to herself as she wrote.
~*~*~*~*~*~ Back with the Marauders~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Okay, so we've agreed on the prank to play during the Feast," Sirius said while hopping around the carriage and humming "Yankee Doodle".
"Yup," Remus replied excitedly, " Project "Rubber Ducks" is gonna be hilarious, I can't wait to see the Slytherins faces after we've played it on them!!!"
Looking up from his magazine James says, "What about Rachel and Lily, won't they get mad at us?"
"James," Sirius said waggling his finger at him, "We've played pranks on the Slytherins at the Opening Feast ever since second year. It's like a tradition!! Just because we have Slytherin friends doesn't mean we need to stop!! Besides, who could be mad at us, OR this face?" Sirius put on his puppy face and looked around at the other people in the carriage.
"A lot of people actually," Peter said suddenly, "Please stop, you're really starting to scare me."
"You guys are NO fun!" Sirius said in his whiny voice, "No about Project "Rubber Duckies".."
~%~%~In the Great Hall at the Slytherin Table, after the sorting~%~%~
"That was SOO good!" Lily said after finishing her plate of spaghetti, corn bread, lasagna, rice-a-roni, treacle fudge, and bubble gum ice cream. "I want to."
The rest of her sentence was drowned out by Dumbledre's booming voice, as he started his yearly speech. "Welcome everyone! I just have a few announcements. First off, the Forbidden Forest is. Yup, you guessed it forbidden." He glanced over at the Marauders and then towards Lily with a twinkle in his eye. "Also, Mr. Filch, has added several more items to his list of things that are not allowed here. On a lighter note, we have decided that we will be having free dress days every Thursday, Friday, and on weekends. Also, in May, we will be having.."
What exactly they were going to do in May, was never heard because at that moment, there were howls of laughter from Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff, and anguished screams from the Slytherins. No one, of course, was laughing quite as loud or hard as the four Marauders.
All the Slytherin's skin was flashing "Slytherin sucks" in Gold and Scarlet, their robes all said "I love Rubber Duckies!" and all their hair was bright red, with purple highlights and yellow flowers.
Dumbledore seemed to have ignored the screams and laughter, because he had just excused them all, and was walking away from the Staff Table and to a door behind it.
Everyone except the Slytherins jumped out of their seats and hurried out of the Great Hall, before they died of laughter. The Slytherins were staring at each other, still in shock at their rapid change of appearance.
Lily was the first to gain her composure and also the first to let her temper shine through. "I am going to KILL them!!" Lily yelled jumping up from her chair and kicking the wall. "They aren't going to be able to do ANYTHING when I'm done with them. They won't even be able to think!!! They'll be in the Hospital Wing for MONTHS!!!"
"Lily, calm down," Rachel said, still sitting, looking annoyed rather than mad, "This happens EVERY year, and it really could have been worse. Lets take everyone to the Common Room and you can help me clean them all." Then she leaned over and whispered in Lily's ear, "After that we'll go up to our dorm and plot what we should do to them."
Lily grinned evilly, stood up and motioned for all of the Slytherins to stand up as well, so that they could all head towards the Common Room.
Lily, being the excellent student she was, knew the spells to reverse what the Marauders did to them. She and Rachel went around the room changing everyone back to normal, which was much appreciated by everyone.
After Rachel was finished changing the last person back to normal, she and Lily headed up to their dorms to start their plotting. Upon arriving, they saw that they would not be planning alone. Their two other dorm mates were there as well.
Narcissa Black was about 5' 6", had a curvy body, waist length platinum blonde hair, and deep gray eyes.
Jackie George on the other hand, was about 5' 2", had a curvy body, but deep brown hair that was cut like a guys and spiked, and had chocolate colored eyes.
"Hey Narcissa, hey Jackie," Lily said, trying to friendly. She had never really talked to Jackie or Narcissa, so she only knew them by what she had heard others say about them.
"Hey!" Narcissa said warmly, grinning, "I'm glad you decided to join us this year. Maybe you'll be able to help me with my homework. Never really had a knack for it."
"Hay, hey, hey!" Jackie said smiling brightly, "I know you'll want to help ME with my homework more than her!!"
"I'll need to check my schedule of course," Lily said playing along, "You'll need to make appointments two weeks in advance."
They were all grinning, and the subject changed from schoolwork to getting revenge on the Marauders.
"No one has even thought about getting revenge on the Marauders before you. Well, we've all THOUGHT about it, but have never really taken the idea seriously," Jackie said after talking about it for a while. "And anyone who wanted to take it seriously, was immediately shot down by the girls in, what is it, seventh year right Narcissa?"
"Yup yup," Narcissa replied, "Since the Marauders have been in fourth year, all the girls in all the houses have noticed how hott they are. The Slytherin Seventh Years being no exception."
"Janet was one of the lucky ones," Jackie said, taking over, "She got to date Sirius. He is SO hott!"
"I can NOT believe you think my cousin is hott?!? He is just to. to."Narcissa said thoughtfully," To Gryffindorish. And besides, he's related to me."
"The fact that he is a Gryffindor is sad, but hey, I'm willing to over look it! As long as he would stop playing those stupid pranks!!" Jackie said, her tone changing from girly to mad, to evil, "Lets start plotting"
They all sat in a tight circle discussing what would be the best way to get back at the Marauders.
~*~*~*~*~
After an hour of discussing, they finally had decided what they should do.
"So, Lily, you'll talk to Severus about making the itching potion. And you're SURE it lasts for twenty-four hours and there isn't a remedy for it?" Narcissa said after they'd finished plotting.
"Yes and Yes," Lily said smiling widely, "I've read up about it. So, Rachel, you've got all the color dye in your trunk? And what colors do you have again?"
"Yup, I've been wanting to do something like this for SOO long!!" Rachel said, hopping around the room on one leg before tripping over her slippers and landing on the floor with a loud thud. "Ow, sorry. I have just about every color you can think of. Red, yellow, green, blue, orange, purple, yellow, and all the colors in between. Including, of course, pink!!"
"This is gonna be great!" Jackie said, standing up and dancing to her imaginary music.
"Lets go over this one more time," Lily said after Jackie had stopped dancing and Rachel had untangled herself from blankets she had fallen on, "On Sunday night, we'll sneak into all the Gryffindor's dorms under Narcissa's invisibility cloak, and Rachel will dye all their clothes the colors they will either look worst in our hate the most, then Jackie and Narcissa will put some Itching Potion in all the clothes, and then I'll Charm the clothes so that they won't know what they're wearing until ten minutes into breakfast Monday Morning. Are we agreed?"
"Yuppermarshmellows!!" Rachel said loudly while hopping around on one leg again.
"Agreed," Jackie and Narcissa said at the time.
"Well, my people," Lily said, stifling a yawn, "Lets all get to bed so that we can get up bright and early tomorrow. I'm just glad it's a Friday."
"Me too!" Rachel said as she tripped over Narcissa's shoes and hit her head on the door.
"What's going on in there?" A snotty voice said through the door, "Shut up, SOME of us are trying to get our beauty sleep!"
They heard a "hmphf" and a stomp, as the girl walked away from the door.
"Someone is a grouch," Lily said after the stomping had ceased.
"That's Francis Flanginherdasting." Jackie said, answering Lily's unspoken question, "She's mad at Rachel because she doesn't like the way she talks."
"Honestly?" Lily said, amazed at some people's shallowness, "She needs to seriously get a life. What does Rachel say that she doesn't like."
"Well," Rachel said, "I was on a sugar high for most of last year, and I used to start conversations with 'Sup' or 'Yo Yo' and towards the end of the year, she was like "I don't like the way you talk Rachel. And you know what your being a brat and you're bugging me. So I'm gonna ignore you and you better stay away from me!" It was all rather pathetic. So, ever since, if any noise comes from this dorm, she yells at us through the closed door."
"That is SOO stupid!" Lily said already disliking this Francis Flangin- a thingagummer, or whatever her last name was. "Well, night girls!"
"Night Lily!" The three others girls called back as Lily headed towards the bathroom, and they climbed in bed, "See you up bright and early!" Rachel called grinning, "I'm a very effective waker-uper in the morning!"
"You better believe it," Narcissa said as she pulled on her pajamas, "IF she was in a graveyard she could wake the dead!"
Lily laughed as she closed the bathroom door, and started to brush her teeth, then her hair, and then went to the bathroom. When she waled back into the dorm. She was met by two sets of deep snores, and one set of snoring that sounded more like laughing. "That's definitely gotta be Rachel." Lily said quietly to herself."
Lily changed into her blue fish pajamas and climbed into her bed, and she was asleep before her head hit her pillow. Her brain already dreaming of the turnout of the prank they were going to pull on the Gryffindors.
