Keeping The Marauder's Spirit Alive

Written By WolfStar

Scene Two: The Slytherin End Of The Rainbow

[The Marauders are sitting in the Great Hall at breakfast time. Wormtail is eating. Moony and Padfoot are arguing. Prongs is trying to calm them down. They all fall silent with the rest of the Hall as Dumbledore stands up to speak]

DUMBLEDORE: Last night the Whomping Willow on the school grounds was spray painted orange and blue. If anyone knows anything about it, could they please inform their Head of House? Thank you for listening, you may go back to your meals.

ANONYMOUS RAVENCLAW: Gee, I hope they don't fix the Willow before I get to see it!

ANOTHER ANONYMOUS RAVENCLAW: Yeah, it'll be hilarious. Too bad we'll never know who did it; I'd like to thank them.

ANONYMOUS HUFFLEPUFF: (Wistful) I wish I could have done that....

SNAPE: I bet it was those idiot Gryffindors.

MALFOY: Yeah. No one else would be that stupid. I wonder if they'll get caught?

SNAPE: Oh, I hope so!

MOONY: Do you hear them? All of them, talking about it.

PRONGS: We're ba-ak!

PADFOOT: Shhhh! Prongs! Do you WANT to give us away???

PRONGS: (Sheepish) Oops.

WORMTAIL: So guys, what now?

MOONY: I reckon it's time the Slytherins got what's coming to them. Or some of it at least.

PADFOOT: Yeah, that's a great idea Moony! But what can we do?

PRONGS: I think I have an idea....

[The Marauders left for Transfiguration class. They arrived a few minutes early, so they had time to plot in private]

MOONY: Okay Prongsie-boy, spill!

PRONGS: (Threateningly) Moony, if I have to warn you one more time...

MOONY: *sigh* Sorry Prongs. I wont do it again.

WORMTAIL: Prongs, you're stalling.

PRONGS: Sorry. Anyway, we have to sneak down to the kitchens and put this *holds up a tube triumphantly* into their breakfast tomorrow morning!

PADFOOT: *reading label* 'Zonko's All-Purpose Pigment Colouring Paste'...Prongs, you're a genius!

MOONY: *Nods* He's right, you know.

PRONGS: *blushes* I learned from the best. *Bows to Moony*

MOONY: *Pretending to be embarrassed* Aw stop it Prongs, you're making me blush!

[More of the Marauder's classmates, as well as Professor McGonagall, arrive for class, so they put the paste away and pretend to be young, carefree and innocent]

{Three AM the next morning}

[The Marauders are standing in the kitchen surrounded by house elves. Wormtail is getting food, while the others are doing business]

MOONY: *to house elf* So, will you do it?

KINNY: *nods enthusiastically* Oh yes, Kinny would be thrilled to help Masters Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs with another prank!

PRONGS: Great! Thanks Kinny, you're the best!

KINNY: It's nothing, Master Prongs. And Kinny would just like to add that it is wonderful to see Masters back in fine form!

PADFOOT: Thanks Kinny. It's great to be back!

WORMTAIL: Mmmmm, these biscuits are delicious! What did you say they were?

PEPPA: They is special biscuits, Master Wormtail. Peppa makes them especially for Master Hagrid. He gives them to his Hippogriffs. They is made from ferret blood, Master Wormtail.

WORMTAIL: ...oh....*faints*

MOONY, PADFOOT & PRONGS: *laugh hysterically*

[The next morning, the Marauders are sitting at the Gryffindor Table, watching the Slytherins]

PADFOOT: Look! The first one is Malfoy!

MALFOY: Severus? Why are you looking at me like that?

MOONY: Why, I do believe that neon pink suits him!

PRONGS: There goes Snape!

SNAPE: Lucius? You're pink. Neon pink.

MALFOY: Yeah? Well, you're bloody orange and purple striped with RED AND GOLD HAIR!!!

SNAPE: NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

MOONY: Hah! *Yells* Hey Snape! Change houses?

PADFOOT: Yeah! Are you supporting Gryffindor in the house cup???

WORMTAIL: Hey, look at Parkinson! He looks like a yellow ferret! *Pales* Ugh.......

MOONY: *laughs manically* Serves you right for being a pig, Wormy!

[The rest of the Slytherins were turning different colours. And then Moony noticed that what he'd forgotten the night before, Kinny had remembered this morning]

MOONY: Look at the teachers!

PADFOOT: Oh my god. Are they....?

MOONY: They are.

PRONGS: They're blue!!!!!!!!

I almost felt sorry for Wormtail when he ate those biscuits...ALMOST.
