Chapter 19:
The four young men sat in the common room, Sirius was trying to figure out a way for them to get Harry and Ginny together. James, Remus, and Harry were plotting a prank. They were still not sure who they were going to prank because of Harry's request to leave Snape alone. "We could aim it at everyone at the Slytherin table except for Snape," Remus told them. "Then it would look like he had pulled the prank."
"Not a bad idea," Harry said, "But maybe we should aim the prank toward the professors." James and Remus looked at Harry in shock.
"Why not!" James said. "We hardly ever prank the teachers." With that decided they began to plan in earnest. James and Harry ran up to their dorm room and retrieved their invisibility cloaks.
"Alright," stated Remus. "We go down to the Great Hall and set it up at the teacher's table, and then we wait for the fun to begin."
They headed toward the Great Hall, two under each invisibility cloak and began setting up their first prank on the professors. When they had finished, they headed back to Gryffindor tower and went to bed.
*********************
The four woke early the next morning, and headed directly to the Great Hall to watch. "This is going to be great!" Sirius stated, sitting down at the Gryffindor table.
"All we have to do is wait," Harry said, looking toward the teacher's table. "I can't wait to see McGonagall's face."
Three professors headed toward the table at the front of the Great Hall, and as they sat down, their hair turned three different shades of Green. Their skin turned pink and their voices were changed into squeaks. It wasn't much of a change of voice for Professor Flitwick. The Great Hall erupted in gales of laughter, Professor Dumbledore stopped halfway to the teacher's table and began laughing.
"Black, Lupin, Potter, and James! In my office, now!" Professor McGonagall shouted, she stood up from the table and stomped toward her office. Professor Dumbledore stopped them as they were walking by, "Gentlemen, I do not know why you decided to prank the teachers instead of your normal targets, but you have made my day quite a bit brighter." He patted each of them on the back and took his seat at the table, changing his hair a light green, skin pink and his voice to a quiet squeak.
They went quickly up to McGonagall's office, wondering about what their punishment would be, "I'll bet that we have detention with Filch for two weeks," Sirius told them. "We'll be scrubbing staircases, and polishing everything, without magic."
****************
After classes the four Gryffindors went back to their common room to get ready for their detentions. "I can't believe that she has us doing detention with Hagrid," Harry told them. "I had detention with him in my first year, we went into the forbidden forest looking for an injured unicorn."
"Hagrid is the best person to have detention with, it's almost always fun," Sirius said, "We'll probably be sitting in his hut having tea and rock cakes."
Harry rolled his eyes, "Actual rock cakes, have you ever tried to eat one?"
"You don't eat them Harry, you put them in your robe and feed them to the giant squid," Remus told him. They dropped their bags in their dorm and headed toward Hagrid's hut.
*******************
They served their four hour detention and headed toward the kitchens to get something to eat. "I can't believe that he had us grooming the Quidditch Pitch like muggles," Sirius complained. "We're wizards, we shouldn't have to do things the muggle way. I'm sure that McGonagall had something to do with what we had to do in the detention."
James reached over and tickled the pear in the picture and they walked into the kitchen. "I don't know about the three of you, but I'm starving." House elves rushed over with plates of food and pitchers of pumpkin juice.
"I wonder what Ginny's doing?" Harry said, pulling apart a roll.
"She's with Lily, so she's doing homework," Remus told him. "She'll have one of the highest grades if she's working with Lily."
James swallowed a mouthful of food, "Lily is a homework junkie. She does it as soon as it's assigned, doesn't even wait a day."
"I have a friend like that," Harry told him. "I really should write them a letter tonight."
Remus looked at Harry, "If they're in the future, how can you write to them?"
Harry put his goblet down, "Professor Dumbledore gave Ginny and I each a chest that will transport stuff back and forth."
"You mean that I could send something to the future Professor Dumbledore?" James questioned.
Harry smiled, "I'll send anything you want, I'm sure that he would love to hear from any of you."
