All Slytherins in the Great Hall had shrunk to the size of lepricorns with
the funny out fits.
After the first shock the hall erupted in laughter.
"Who did this?" McGonagall screamed.
James, Harry, Sirius and Remus got up and bowed.
"I should have known. Ten..." But she was interrupted.
"But professor Flitwick said we had to practise the Shrinking Spell." Sirius piped.
"McGonagall turned to Flitwick.
"Is that true?"
"Yes, but this is not what I had in mind when I said practise." Flitwick answered.
"In that case, twenty p..."
"But Minerva, those boys were just doing their homework. You can't take points for that. Fifty points for Gryffindor each." Ted said and Gryffindor cheered.
"Honey, where are you?" The soap cried. "Oh, there you are. Get out of your food! Did your mother never tell you not to play with it?"
Now even some dwarf-Slytherins laughed.
~~~half an hour later, Gryffindor common room~~~
The Marauders were bored and thinking of something to do.
"I got a great idea, let's decorate the school with toilet paper." Sirius piped.
"That's old, Paddy." James shook his head.
"But still funny." Sirius defanded.
"No, it's not." Harry stated. "Turning Snape's hair pink is."
"Great idea, much better than Padfoot's." Remus said. "But we can't get into Slytherin's common room."
"Why don't we just walk around the school for an idea?" James suggested.
"Now that is brilliant." Sirius smiled.
"No, it's not." The other three said at once.
"Are you sure you have brains up there and not just air, spiders, flies and cobwebs?" Remus asked.
"you're not funny, Moon."
"Yes he is." Harry laughed. "Now let's move, we might even get some sleep later if we hurry."
They walked up to their dorm, got under James cloak and then left the tower.
After an hour of walking and not meeting anyone, (A/N: Harry left the map behind.) they started to get bored and that's when it happened.
Binns came out of the wall, crying and muttering to himself.
"Children hate my classes, they think it's boring. I can't judge when to give detention and when not. I can't get any student's name right. Now I'm dead, a ghost non the less. I thought they wouldn't notice, but apparently I was wrong. Why can't I be a teacher like Ted Tonks, everybody loves him."
The Marauders softly sniggered. This was great.
When Binns was out of earshot they laughed.
"Why is it I don't feel a bit sorry for him?" James laughed.
"He's bo-ring." Harry choked. "He is still teaching me in the future."
"Porr you." Sirius tried to say in a normal voice.
"Poor students." Remus smirked.
"Let's get back before anyone hears us." Harry choked wisely.
"I just got a brilliant idea for a prank, but it'll have to wait until breakfast." James whispered with a spark in his eyes.
~~~Next day, breakfast~~~
The Marauders were sitting in the Great Hall, Lily wasn't there yet. If they hurried, they could keep her out of it.
They kept bugging Snape by looking at him, pretending to whisper things about him when they were sure he looked and then laughing and sniggering.
Their plan was working, because Snape got more and more enraged and was almost ready to help them pull their prank.
After ten minutes more of this Snape had had enough and threw a toast at them, but it hid a seventh year, Frank Longbotem to be precise. He was pissed and threw some food back, but again, it missed target. This was what the Marauders had been waiting for.
"FOODFIGHT!" They yelled and ran out of the Great Hall, while the rest of the students started to throw food.
~~~~~~
Lily was just about to enter the Great Hall when the Marauders came running out, grabbing her and ran down a few stairs.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" She asked enraged.
"Snape started a foodfight and we saved you from getting in the middle of things." Sirius said.
"But how am I going to eat my breakfast." Lily protested.
"That's why we ran this why." James said pointing to a painting of fruit and then tickling a pear.
"What are you doing?" She asked and then gasped as he opened the painting.
"Welcome to the kitchens of Hogwarts, my dearest Miss Evans." James said and bowed.
She entered and the Marauders followed.
"Wow."
"What do you want to eat, Flower?" James whispered in her ear.
She didn't let anyone notice, but she liked it.
~~~After half an hour~~~
They arrived just in time for Herbologie.
"You're just in time." Rose said.
"Of course we're on time, dear Rose. We wouldn't want to miss a minute of the class such a lovely lady teaches." Sirius said sweetly.
Rose blushed as James smacked Sirius over his head.
"Cool it, horny boy." James hissed and the other three sniggered.
They were teamed up in pairs of three for their assignment. Harry, Sirius and Remus were teamed up together, but so were James, Lily and Isabella. James made a face as soon as he found out Isabella was in his team.
'Help!' He mouthed to his friends, but they all shook their heads.
'Just ignore her.' Harry mouthed back.
'Help Lily, she seems to have trouble.' Remus mouthed.
James turned around.
"You need help, Lils?" He offered.
"Yes, I don't have a clue what I'm suppose to do." She smiled shyly.
"Don't worry, I'll show you." James smiled.
Isabella noticed the attention Lily got from James, because she didn't get it.
"James, could you show me what I need to do? I don't get it." She asked sweetly.
"Ask Herball, she'll help you." James snapped and then whispered in Lily's ear. "I hate it when she does that. Why can't she just leave me alone?"
Lily began to giggle. The two made fun of the rest of the lesson, just like Harry and Sirius. Remus was just surprise how much Harry resembled, not only Lily and James, but also Sirius a little.
After class Sirius, Remus and Harry sprinted to the common room so they could wash and change, James and Lily followed a bit slower.
"You know James. You're a lot different from what I thought you were. You're actually quite a nice guy." She said.
"Thanks, Lils. I appreciate that, so maybe we could be friends from now on?"
Lily smiled, she didn't have any friends. The girls in her dorm thought she was a know-it-all and didn't want anything to do with her. Some Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws were nice to her, but she couldn't call them real friends.
"I'd like that, but..."
"But you don't like the pranks we pull."
"No, it's not that. It's just, I thought I hated you, the school thought I hated you. Wouldn't it be strange to see us as friends?"
"Don't know, don't care."
"If you don't, I don't."
"Gryffindor rules." The fat lady swung open. "See you in a minute, Lily Flower." James said as he walked up to his dorm.
"What kept you, Prongsy?" Sirius asked.
"Yeah, Paddy missed you a lot, he thought you got lost or something." Harry joked.
"What kept me was out new friend, so were on to step three of Operation Harry." James beamed.
"Great, I think we can almost forget about step five." Remus smiled.
"Or we could change step five; Make sure that bitch Isabella doesn't screw it up." Sirius piped.
"You can cancel that appointment with Pomfrey, Paddy. You just proved you have brains." James joked.
"Very funny, Prongsy. You want me to screw your changes with your precious Flower or something?"
"No way. I was just joking, forgive me?"
"Because it's you, I'll let it slip just this once."
"Come on, we've got Fungus, don't want to be late." Harry said and they left their dorm to meet up with Lily to go to potions.
A/N: Hope you liked it, sorry 4 the delay. I've been working on two other fic's. What do you think of these idea's for a fic if I finished my others. The first two chapters of the first are already waiting to be posted, but you'll have to wait until this fic or 'What If' is finished.
1 The Twists And Turns Of A Screwed Live
James lived, Lily died. Now he's left alone to bring up his one year old son. that can't be good, can it?
2 Replacing My Best Friend
James is killed, Lily is on the verge of a breakdown, Harry is as annoying as an one year old can get and still Sirius takes the two in. Will he be able to help without going nuts?
3 Harry's Worst Nightmare; Dudley At Hogwarts
Well, the title says it all, Dudley is a wizard too, goes to Hogwarts and teams up with Malfoy. Harry thinks it's a nightmare, but is it?
