Disclaimer-concept plus a lot of characters belong to the wonder JK Rowling. And some reference to JRR Tolkien. Some characters belong to me, and the plot does too. I try to make it original, but you know how that goes.
Summary- Hogwarts has changed. Marauders meet there match. Trying to save a friendship between nine people and prank Snivellus? Harder than you think.
Big Prank or Big Mistake?
"James!" Sirius yelled when he got into the dorm.
"I'm right next to you, what do you want?"
"With all of our lovey dovey stuff we forgot about our Slytherin friends." He said slyly. "And Peter found a new passage; there is this suit of armor about twenty feet down the corridor that leads to the other side of the Slytherin common room."
"Don't even want to know how he came about that one."
"I fell." Peter said walking into the room.
"Thats not the important thing though." They spent half an hour carefully plaining out what they were going to plan.
"Alright, we need Moony though, he's the smartest."
"Need me for what?"
"Prank." Sirius said simply.
"Right, why did i even ask, I know who its on so what're we going to do."
"Well you see, the last time we went into the Slytherin Common room it looked very dreary and not very welcoming, so we decided to make it look nicer. Like our common room."
"What color are we changing Snape." Remus slowly asked.
"Your little faith in me hurts." Sirius said trying to act hurt.
"Gryffindor colors." Peter said not looking up from his letter.
"Right, figures. Well shall we?" The others cheered and at about one that night they headed to the Slytherin common room.
"Alright Remus and Sirius take care of the common room and Pete and I will take care of Snivellus, and how about Malfoy?" They all laughed sliently and got to their jobs. About a quarter of an hour later Peter and James bounded down the stairs smiles on their faces.
"Snivellus has Red and Gold hair but Pete did the charm wrong cos he sneezed."
"And?" Sirius asked grinning like an idiot.
"Pink." Peter blurted out almost losing himself. For the first time the looked at the common room, it had been covered with red and gold streamers and couch was no longer black but a nice shade of orange. And every time some one sat on a chair by the fire it would say. "Gryffindor rules, Slytherin drools", "Gryffindor for house cup", or a lovely "Wish you were in Gryffindor! Not!"
"You amaze me." James said poking the chairs.
"Well, I'd love to stay and get caught but perhaps we should leave?" Peter suggested.
"Good point." With that they sprinted down the corridor and to the Gryffindor common room they got there at about two o'clock and it surprised them that there were two lonely figures by the fire. It was May cradling Lily in her arms.
"Shhh, its ok." She said while Lily sobbed.
"Lily, what's wrong?' James said sitting down next to her.
"Petunia." May whispered.
"Oh, what did she say?" May handed him a letter.
Lily,
You stupid girl, i heard mum and dad talking about this evil wizard. Because of your abnormality we're in danger. I can't believe you would trade our lifes for a few magic tricks. Don't expect any more letters from me.
Petunia.
James was lost for words when he read this, he knew Lily had been having trouble with Petunia, but didn't know it had escalated to this measure.
"Lily, she doesn't mean it, nothing bad will happen." Sirius said wiping the tears from her eyes.
"Yeah, nothing bad will happen." Peter somewhat echoed.
"Why don't you get up to bed, and rest?" Remus suggested. They both nodded and went upstairs. Soon the boys went to bed so they could get up to see the effect of their prank. Sure enough the next day while they were in the Great Hall Slytherins came in glaring at the Gryffindors and looking very tired. Soon Snape and Malfoy walked in with their new colors of hair. This caused even Lily to laugh.
"Think your so great, don't you Potter." Snape said his voice deadly.
"And you Black, a complete disgrace of the Black family. Honestly associating with Mudbloods and disgraces. You can't even tell that your bloodlines are as long as mine." Malfoy said arrogently."You and Andromeda will fall for it." Remus had to hold both back for this.
"Why Malfoy," Zelda said bravely. "If I do recall correctly, comparatively, your bloodlines aren't really that long." She said with an air that she knew something he didn't.
"Shut up Sagitta, you?re not in this."
"I think I am, the second you called my friend a disgrace, I was in this." She said gesturing to Remus holding back James and Sirius and Severus and Malfoy glaring back.
"Watch out Sagitta, remember you could have been part of something." Snape said walking away.
"I am!" She yelled.
"Well." A voice behind them drawled, it was the head of Slytherin. "I think I?ve seen enough. Lupin, Potter, Black and surprise surprise, Miss Sagitta will all be serving detention tonight. For I believe you all had a part in this prank."
"No sir, she-" Peter started.
"And ten points for your mouth Mister Pettigrew." He said walking away.
"Zelda why didn't you say something?" Sirius asked.
"You saw what he did to Pete; he wouldn't have believed me anyway."
"Sorry Zelda."
"It?s not your fault Pete."
"Yeah Pete, you tried, but that man listens to no one." James said shaking his head. When he said this an owl flew in between Remus and Sirius.
Detention for students: Black, Lupin, Potter and Sagitta to be served tonight 10 pm at Hagrid's house.
"Well boys." James said looking at Sirius and Remus, then at Zelda." And girl, looks like we get to visit the Forbidden Forest."
"Well at least we have some time to have fun before then." Sirius said brightly. And suddenly through the doors ran Jillie and she sat down next to them, and as though it had been planned Cody Davies walked in next.
"What were you doing?" May asked slyly.
"Err, nothing," Jillie said blushing. "Well, did i miss anything?" She said as she grabbes some toast. Sirius went through the explanation of what had just happened and their detentions.
"Zelda, you got a detention, are you serious?"
"No, no, I am." Everyone gave him a look. "Well, she obviously got us confused." This was followed by a playful punch from Ari. "Right, shutting up." The rest of the day went too quickly for everyone.
"Yeah, never been in the forest before." Zelda admitted to Sirius at 8:30.
"Really, I'll make sure to make it a memorable moment for you."
"You're so sweet." Zelda said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. At a quarter until ten they went to Hagrid's hut.
"Alright, we'll be goin' in to find summit." He said when they arrived. "By a trustin' source I've been tol' there's a nest of Erklings. So you four will go down this path, and Me and my pup Fang will go down this one, trainin' ya know." He said proudly holding a gigantic looking puppy. "If you get in to any trouble jus' send red sparks, and green if you've found the Erklings, be careful, they're tricky." They went down the path, and it being mid January it was still very cold.
"What was that?" James said pointing his lit wand at a tree. Something very large galloped away.
"You think it was a centuar?" Sirius suggested.
"Or a unicorn." Remus said.
"O-or a thestral." Zelda said and shivered at the possibility, then the three boys followed in suit.
"Couldn't have been though, cos I saw the outline of it, and I've never seen anyone, you know-" James said slowly.
"Hey, look!" Remus said pointing to a small creature coming up behind Sirius, who seeing something lurking behind him promptly turned around and kicked it, and right into a tree.
"Hmm, don't think I was supposed to do that." He said looking from the Erkling to his boot.
"No probably not, but it is still alive so I'll send sparks up." James raised his wand and green sparks went flying.
"Well nothing to do but sit here and wait." They sat for a few minutes and heard a twig break but it wasn't Hagrid.
"What are you doing here young calf?" It said to James who was sitting on the far side of them.
"Do you guys see this?" He said whispering out the side of his mouth.
"Yeah, he's there alright." Sirius whispered back, not daring to take his eyes off the half horse, half man.
"We are students of the castle," Zelda said, not wanting to offend it by not answering. "Waiting for Hagrid."
"Ah, Hagrid, carry on then, but be wary, the forest is not a place for young ones, and tomorrow is a full moon, werewolves about." He said looking off into the distance.
"You don't say." Sirius said regaining his usual self. "Hear that Remus? Werewolves."
"Ugly brutes those werewolves." James said half laughing.
"Hideous." Remus said looking at the centaur.
"Ah, Bane, 'ow are ya?" Hagrid said coming up behind them causing them all to jump.
"The stars are brilliant tonight." The centaur said walking away.
"Righ'." Hagrid said slowly.
"Nutters that one was." James said still laughing.
"Well, good work guys, I have a feeling you've had enough of the dark forest for a while. We ought to be getting out now. Oh and Remus." Hagrid said showing them a path back to the castle.
"Yeah Hagrid?"
"Watch out for werewolves, won't you?" He said smiling and they all had a good laugh. When they got back in the common room it was well past midnight and they all went to bed, the forest being a very tiring place.
a/n-I'm going to try and get more points of view soon, if I fail I'm sorry, I really like how this Remus thing is turning out, he's a very dark character.
Lucky Star- I tried to get your prank in, and more on the way, I just hope I'm creative enough.
