A/N: This is my first *actual* story, so I'm a little nervous. Usually I
write something, and when I read it I start to revise it, and I keep
rewriting it until it sucks and I can't read it anyway.
This is a Marauder story, and takes place summer after their fifth year. It
includes three original characters, please don't let that scare you away. I
hope you enjoy this, please review.
Disclaimer: I own nothing except the plot, Emily, Raven and Cas. Everything else belongs to J.K. Rowling. ______________________________________________________________-
" Stop giggling, you'll wake them up!"
"Sorry Sirius"
It was around three a.m. Sirius and his twin sister Emily were playing another prank on their friends. They and all their friends, except Peter, who was grounded, were at James' house. The rest of the group was Lily, Raven and Cas. Raven was tall and thin, with a slightly pale face and straight black hair down to her waist. She had stormy blue eyes and loved to laugh. She was going out with Sirius. Cas was much shorter than Raven. She had chestnut brown hair and gray eyes, with a slightly rounder face. She was Remus' girlfriend. Towards the end of their fifth year, Lily and James had finally made up, and were now going out. All of them loved playing pranks, and Lily, Cas, Raven and Emily were quickly becoming known as The Lady Marauders. All of them were also Animagus, including Remus. James' parents loved having all his friends over, even with all the pranks, having always wanted a large family.
" Lily is going to kill us!"
" Like she hasn't already tried. James will stop her. Are you done yet?"
"Almost."
" When you are come help me over here"
Sirius had gotten the idea from a muggle movie Lily had shown them called The Parent Trap. Lily was always showing them muggle things. Sirius had been fascinated by the television and had watched every single movie Lily had all in a row.
For the most part, they had covered everyone with either maple syrup, shaving cream, or both, and given them a new hairstyle. Raven looked especially silly, because with the use of some glue and styling gel they had spiked her hair straight up, along with Lily and Cas' hair. Remus and James had been covered in shaving cream molded to look like mermaids and the girls drenched in syrup. There was more syrup covering the floor, so that when they tried to get up they would slide into the middle of the room. Both Sirius and Emily had already fallen while doing this. If everything worked out right, someone would wake up and yell, waking up the others. They would all get up and slide into the middle of the room, where Sirius and Emily had rigged buckets of water balloons to tip over.
"When Lily tries to kill you, just tell her it's her own fault for letting you watch those movies. I'd love to see the look on her face."
" This is going to be great! Do you still have that camera you got for your birthday?"
" Yeah. Pictures will just endanger your life even more, you know. There. I'm all done."
" Me too. I'm gonna go wash all this stuff of me now. Don't wake them up!"
The next morning Lily screaming death threats at Sirius woke everyone up. Remus and James started laughing at the girls, until Rave so kindly pointed out that they now had fish tails and breasts. Meanwhile, Sirius and Emily were busy laughing and taking pictures. Lily noticed the cameras, and she, Raven and Cas tried to get up and take them away, only to slide all over the floor, and land on top of each other. The boys got up to help them, only to land on top of the pile and set off the buckets of water balloons. Raven and Cas took one look at each other and burst into laughter, while James and Remus had to physically restrain Lily for fear of Sirius' life.
"What are you two laughing at? You look just as bad!" Lily shouted.
" Hey, lighten up. It was only a prank, and a great one at that. Good job Sirius." Raven said.
" And Emily" Sirius corrected. "Anyway Lily, it's your fault. The whole thing came from one of your muggle movies" this only caused Lily to struggle more.
" Why you little."
" Do you have a death wish Sirius? Because if you don't get out of here soon, we won't be able to hold Lily back much longer."
" I'm leaving. Come on Em, I can tell when we're not wanted." Sirius said with a fake sob.
" I'm going to take a shower. Have fun calming Lily down." Raven announced
Remus had let go of Lily once Sirius left. Soon she stopped trying to get free. She looked at the remaining people in the room, and couldn't help but smile.
" I guess it was a pretty good prank." Lily admitted. " I'm still getting revenge." She added at James' hopeful look. " I hope we didn't wake up your parents."
" They're way on the other side of the house, and they know by now to put silencing charms around their room."
James and his friends stuck mainly to one half the house. There was James' room, the room they were in now, two large bathrooms, a sitting room, and a game room. The game room had expanding charms on the inside, and contained a whole Quidditch pitch. You could usually find them there playing Quidditch, or relaxing in the pool or hot tub. There were also a few muggle things, like a stereo system and a television that Remus and Lily had fixed to run by magic.
Remus left to take a shower, and when Raven came back Cas and Lily raced for the bathroom. Cas won. When she and Remus came back, Lily went to the bathroom, James called a couple of house elves to clean up the mess, and left to take his own shower. Sirius and Emily came back, and they along with Raven, Remus and Cas went to go sit and talk in the living room.
"That was a brilliant prank Sirius" Cas complimented.
" I can't believe you two managed all that without waking anybody up." Remus added.
" Can't wait to see what Lily does to get you back."
"Maybe she'll turn him into a poodle again. That was hilarious."
"For you it was. Not for me. Anyway, we almost did wake you up, because we kept slipping in the syrup and shaving cream. We both had to take a shower before going back to bed."
" Anyone up for a game of Quidditch when Lily and James get back?" Emily asked
James and Lily came back soon, and they all agreed to a game. They played three on three, with Raven, Emily and Sirius against Remus, Cas and James. Lily was referee, and James' team won. ________________________________________________________- A/N: So? If you liked it, please review and tell me if I should continue or not.
