Ch. 6 Prelimenary to the prank

Before Lily and her friends knew it, October had come. Between September and then much had happened. Lily and the girls had grown closer than any would of expected. So had the boys. Though the two groups didn't hang out, they did mingle once in a while with each other. Other than that, the wrath between the Gryffindors and the Slytherines had grown, Especially between the 1st years(i.e. James and Snape). There had been a few more pranks thrown at the slytherines and them retaliating, resulting in detention for both partys.

Besides that, the two groups of friends were doing well in school and the quidditch season was almost starting. Everyone was excited for that, especially Sirius and James. Delia had run Lily through the main objectives of the game earlier in the month. Lily couldn't wait for the first game, the sport sounded fasinating and interesting to watch. Many were surprised though, although James and Sirius could not be on the team, they still were excited just to watch. That didn't stop them from smuggling in their brooms, though!

The first game was to take place about a week and a half before halloween and James and Sirius were dead set on the Gryffindors beating the Slytherines.

"It's just not an option, Gryffindors will win, there is no other way to have it". James stated at breakfast, the day of the match.

"Fosho, my young friend. There is no question we will win. 1. We have better players 2. We're the Gryffindors 3. They're the Slytherines, so of course their going to lose. and 4. We're Gryffindors" Sirius told James as he helped himself to his third helping of scrambled eggs.

"Don't get too cocky, Boys." Arthur the quidditch captain told them. "As much I hate to admit the Slytherine team is pretty good this year."

"Wait didn't you beat them last year, though?" Sirius asked smartly. Arthur just got an irritated look.

"Yes we did, but that's not the point"

"Then what is the point?" James asked.

"Ugh! The point is they're good this year, gosh, grow up you two!" and with that the quidditch captain left, to go somewhere else. Somewhere as far away from the "dynamic duo" as possible.

"All right!" the two said as they gave each other highfives. "We offically pissed him off!"

Before anyone knew it lunch was over and the two quidditch teams got up to leave. "Go Jared! You can do it!" Delia yelled to her god brother, he was one of the teams chasers. Sirius and James, for some reason unknown to man, had totally zoned out and didn't know that the Gryffindor team were leave, as were the Slytherine team.

"Wait!" Sirius shouted just as the Gryffindor team was about to leave the great hall and the slytherine team were just getting up from their table. When the two boys had gotten the two teams attention they started to count down together at the top of their lungs "5,4,3,2,1..."

"BANG!"

Just like the first prank James and his friends had pulled at the beginning of the year, the explosion had gone off at the Slytherine table. When the smoke had cleared the whole school had burst out laughing.

"Alriiiight, good job boys" James told his friends, clapping them on the back..
