AN~sorry took so long to update I've had coursework and stuff- grr... please review!

"He's waking up! Remus look!" Sirius groaned and forced his eyes open. Peter was hopping up and down next to the bed in which Sirius was lying.

"How long have I been out?" Sirius asked James who was sat weakly in a chair next to him.

"Just the one night," James pushed his glasses up and rubbed his tired eyes.

"Oh tell me you haven't been here the whole time!" Sirius looked at his three friends who all grinned sheepishly through their exhaustion.

"You idiots!" he laughed and took the chocolate frog Peter had unwrapped for him. "What happened to Snivellus?"

Remus grinned broadly and settled himself at the foot of Sirius's bed. "Well Dumbledore gave him a right telling off for jinxing you when your back was turned, and made him clean the poo off the owlery floor!" The four boys all laughed hysterically, causing Madam Pomfrey to shout at them to be quiet and didn't they realise Sirius needed his rest?

"Snivellus is going to pay for that," James muttered as they walked towards the common room.

"James don't bother. He's already done enough." Remus pleaded with his best friend.

"I don't think so," James's eyes were dark and his expression set as he climbed through the portrait hole. "If he thinks he's got away with jinxing us just cos he had to clean up a bit of sh-"

"A bit!" Remus interjected sharply. "James have you seen the size of the owlery? There's like a thousand owls in there. That's a hell of a lot of poo."

"Poo is nothing compared to what he's gonna get from me."

"Stop talking about poo!" Lily Evans screamed from an armchair next to the fire. James and Remus started giggling then and their argument was forgotten.

Sirius rejoined them at breakfast the next day. He had a large cut on his forehead, but his spirits weren't any lower than usual.

"So," he said through a mouthful of buttery toast, "What's the plan?"

"What pl-"

"Don't be so thick Pete we need a revenge plan for our good buddy Snivellus Snape."

James's eyes twinkled mischievously. "Well, now you mention it I might have had a teeny tiny idea!"

"Good morning class!" Professor Kettleburn called as they approached their Care of Magical Creatures class. Everyone answered him with a cheery, except one voice with mumbled something totally different.

"What was that Snape?" the teacher looked at the boy anxiously.

"I'm a dirty stinking slimy greaseball, Sir." Snape said then clasped his hands over his mouth.

"What?"

"I'm a miserable ugly toad, Sir." His eyes darted around the class who were all laughing uncontrollably.

"Severus Snape stop being stupid!"

"But I am stupid sir."

"Snape!" There was silence for a moment and the class all looked to the boy, holding their breath as one. Then...

"And I've got a big fat nose!"

"That was ingenious!" Sirius roared with laughter and clapped James on the back after Professor Kettleburn had led Snape to the hospital wing. "You are brilliant!"

"Was that you Potter?" Lily grabbed his shoulder.

"Yeah did you like it?"

"No I thought it was the horribleist thing ever!"

"You thought that was horrible Evans?" James grinned and flicked his wand at her retreating back. Lily immediately began bucking and braying as though she were a donkey. Remus looked darkly at his friends who were laughing loudly and ran forward to remove the spell.

"You know that was low James," Remus said sternly as he rejoined them. "I admit, Severus had it coming to him, but Lily?"

"It was only a joke Remus!" Sirius defended his best friend "Just a bit of fun!"

"No it wasn't. It was mean." He looked at James, his wide eyes searching his face for any signs of remorse. James hated to admit it, but Remus was right.

"Oi Lily!" he ran after the red haired girl and grabbed her bag strap.

"What do you want Potter?" she spat.

"I...err...I...I'm sorry." He looked hopefully into her pretty green eyes.

"You're sorry? What? James Potter showing guilt? I don't believe it." She continued walking but James pulled her into a corner.

"Look I said I was sorry what more do you want? I'm admitting I was a prat, can't you just be normal and say 'That's ok James. All is forgiven.'?"

"It might have escaped your notice James Potter," she said his name with disgust. "But not everyone around here thinks you're a god. I don't." With that she turned from him and walked away.
