A/N: This is the second story I've typed a new chapter for today. Why?
Because there is NOTHING to do!!! Well, almost nothing. I did go to BJ's
with my cousin and we impulse bought a giant box of Fun Dip....
Anyway, thanks to Rose Black: Nothing gets by Dumbledore for too long. He can be fairly creepy in that way sometimes...; LittleEar BigEar's sis; and smilez!
CH8: Is That A Coconut In Your Pocket Or Are You Just Happy To See Me?
Harry tiptoed out of his godfather's room, smirking evilly. He couldn't wait for breakfast to see the results.....
Oh, wait. Maybe we better back this up a little here.

Night Before
The three timetravelers had settled themselves in the living room, preparing for their first lessons the next day.
"I've got the Hufflepuff and Gryffindor third years," Sirius was saying. "I'm planning on showing them Bouncing Bulbs. Shouldn't be to much of a challenge."
"Ditto," replied Remus. "I'll be doing hippogriffs for the Slytherin and Ravenclaw third years at the same time. What about you, Harry?"
Harry grimaced. "Slytherin and Gryffindor fifth years." He looked up from the book he was reading. "Your younger selves aren't planning something for Severus, are they?"
"Can't remember." Remus looked thoughtful. "Why do you ask?"
"You were looking at each other strangely at the feast. I just don't want to be caught in the middle."
"He could be plotting against us you know."
"Wouldn't you remember something like that?"
Sirius snorted. "Whatever it was, it probably failed. Nobody can out marauder a Marauder."
A smirk spread across Harry's face. "Nobody, huh?"
Unfortunately, Sirius was still oblivious. "Nope. And, no one would even dare try." "Will see about that." The smile faded off Sirius's face. "Night." Harry left to go to his room, but he could still here his godfather's next sentence.
"Why do I have the feeling I'm going to eat my words?"
**************************************************************************** *******
And he didn't realize how right he was.
Harry sat up at the Head table, calmly sipping his coffee. But, Remus could see, there was a mischievous look in his eyes that the werewolf knew all to well. He pitied whoever was at the brunt of the boy's inner Slytherin. And he was really worried as to where Sirius could be.
The answer to all his thoughts came just when the Great Hall had filled up. A loud shout rang throughout the castle.
"HARRY!"
With a bang, the doors flew open and standing there was.....Well, Remus didn't actually know what it was. But he knew who it was. The source of commotion was revealed.
Sirius was blue. Not your sky blue or royal blue or I-can't-breath blue, but a turquoise, sea water blue. It went with the ensemble. He was dressed in what looked to be a hula girl costume, complete with green seaweed skirt and coconut bra. His hands were web and his feet turned into muggle scuba flippers. But, to cap it off(literally) was, in place of his hair, a giant fishbowl grew out of his head. Including toy castle and goldfish.
There was a total silence in the Hall before everyone burst out laughing. Even some of the teachers. The few professors who didn't though, were getting up to scold the Marauders. However, what Sirius did next shocked them all.
"Harry," he began through gritted teeth.
"Yes, Uncle John?" Harry returned, keeping in their act.
Sirius looked like he was having trouble stringing together sentences. Finally he just said, "Why?"
Harry looked thoughtful. "Just proving a point. What was it you said, no one would 'dare' to pull a prank on you?"
"When will it where off?" he asked desperately.
"Don't worry, it'll be gone by your first class, " reassured Harry. "So, want to take a walk with me? I'm sure some of your fish pals at the lake have heard you're back in town by now." With a noise of anger, Sirius chased his godson out of the Hall, trying unsuccessfully to run in floppy feet. They left a stunned group of spectators behind them.
All the thoughts of the school's occupants were on the this little display. A teacher with a joking side? Thought the thoughts differed slightly('Cool' for the students, 'God help us' for the faculty), all had a common basis....things would be different at Hogwarts from now on.
