Okay... I finished 'Harry Potter V' a while ago, but was in the process of moving back to Canada so I couldn't write. Well, I'm back now! I want to give a huge thank you to:
aims80: Glad you like the story! I hope you follow it as I go!
Christy: This is the first 'non-serious' one I've done. Glad you find it amuzing!
citrus scented: Hehehe. Thanks, Sirius is my favourite character so I like to spend a lot of time building up his character and making him as likeable as possible!
Labyris: Hope this chapter is as good as the rest!
Thanks again to you guys. Your reviews mean a lot to me!
Sirius Black and ???- Chapter 10
[Flashback]
"Now, here's what I have in mind." Sirius muttered, leaning close to Remus, who was sitting across from him at the table.
"I have here two cans of trick-exploding-beans-" He started.
"What?"
"Trick-exploding-beans! Something James and I found on our last trip to Hogsmeade last year. I never got the chance to use them. Anyway, we'll set these cans in their room, beside their beds and put a Timing Charm on the cans. In one hour the lids will pop open, releasing a black smoke that will fill the room so they can't see. The beans inside the cans will jump out and expolde, waking the gits up. Upon leaping out of bed Mike and Humurus will hit a wire, triggering this-" Sirius' monologue was broken off as he now held up the second item he had withdrawn from his bag. Remus looked at what appeared to be a perfectly harmless water balloon. He knew, however, that Sirius would never buy anything perfectly harmless. He was right.
"This is a 'Flug'. Flugs-" he continued before Remus could ask, "are balloons, filled with a temporary hair dye. Not just any hair dye, though, and not too temporary. The Flug will never open, unless it connects with hair. I could poke it with a pin a thousand times and it would never open, but let it connect briefly with a strand of hair and it will be all over everything! The hair dye in the Flug is special. It will not wear out, no matter what you do, for exactly two weeks. To make matters even worse, the dye changes colour every five minutes and it is never a natural hair colour. Very embarrassing." Sirius said with a twinkle in his eye and a lopsided grin on his face. Remus couldn't help but smile back at his friends' enthusiasm.
"Oh! I almost forgot. There is another part to the plan. We lock them in their room." Remus raised an eyebrow and opened his mouth.
"Couldn't my parents just come and open the door for them? No, my friend, the answer is 'no', because, you see, I will have the only key to opening that there door." Sirius gestured at the closed door behind him. He then reached across the table and picked up the third and final toy.
"This, Remus, is a Blocker/Locker. I, personally, would think up a better name for such an ingenious thing." He looked at the black box with a sort of pride.
"Attach this-" He pulled off a black gadget that was the same width and length as an ordinary pen, but which had one side that would stick onto objects like it had suctions.
"-to the door of their room from the inside and I can activate it from the outside. Make it lock, make it unlock. A fine piece of work! Such a shame that it won't work in Hogwarts, being an electronic and all." He sadly patted the black box. His face changed abruptly and he looked back at Remus with a fire in his eyes.
"You put the cans beside their beds and put the charm on them. I'll put the Flugs in place and attach the 'stick' to their door." Remus nodded and crept back into his room for his wand. Sirius silently thanked the Ministry for lowering the age for using magic outside of school at the start of the summer and gathered up his 'treasures' with a wicked cackle.

"Brilliant!" James cried.
"You did?" Peter asked at the same time, looking deeply confused, "When?" They ignored Peter and James looked at Remus and Sirius enviously.
"That is so unfair! You guys get to be together to play pranks on each other and I have to be on the other side of the field!" Sirius laughed.
"Don't worry James! I have a lot of pranking material to use on my beloved brother and dear cousin and I'm sure you have stuff too. We have all day!"
"Not all day. The Quidditch game starts at 6:00 tonight. You guys have until then." Remus reminded them. He needn't have bothered. All four of them knew the exact time the Quidditch game would start.
James and Sirius shot each other mischevious grins.
"Well, then ol' chums! We have almost 12 hours! Let the pranking begin!"
Peter groaned.
