A/N: Thank you for the reviews, I will try to make my chapters longer if I can, obviously the last chapter was short because there wasn't much to say about the feast because everyone who's read the books pretty much knows what goes on. Anyway on with my story!

Disclaimer: You know it already.

Chapter 3. Of Pranks, Secrets, and Truth

Mari woke up the next morning to her black cat, Sirius, named after her late fa... uncle thought to herself, he's my uncle, sitting on her chest and trying to lick her face. (A/N: My cat does this) She got up, muttering something about his needing to go on a diet, and got dressed. When she finally got down to the common room along with Hermione, she found Harry, Ron, and Ginny already waiting for them.

"Quidditch tryouts tomrrow," Ron said pointing to a sign on the bulletin board, "are you going to try out Mari?"

"I think I will," she said, "I've always been pretty good at being a chaser."

"Great, said Harry, "I'm sure that you and Ginny will be great on the team, most of our players graduated last year along with Fred and George."

"Ginny?"

"Ya," said Harry, "she was seeker last year when that horrible Umbridge forced me off the team, but since I can play again, and since she likes chasing better anyway, she has changed positions."

"Too bad Hermione is afraid of heights," said Mari, "otherwise we could have all of the marauders on the team, and could you imagine the look on Malfoy's face?"

They all laughed, except Hermione, who looked horrified at the thought of having to play quidditch.

"We better get down to breakfast," she said, "class starts in about thirty minutes, by the way have you looked at your schedules yet? We have potions with the Slytherins first and Ginny has DADA."

Harry, Ron, and Mari groaned as the walked toward the great hall.

"Well," said Mari, grinning, "this could be the perfect opportunity for our first prank of the year, all we have to do is decide, Malfoy or Snape."

"How about both?" asked Harry.

"Works for me," said Ron stuffing his face with sausage.

"So, what are we going to do?" asked Ron.

Mari turned to Ginny, "do you have any skiving snack boxes?" "Sure do," said Ginny grinning wickedly as she caught on.

"We'll also need a bunch of tongue ton toffees, and we should go through a bag of every flavor beans and pick out all of the worst flavors." "With the snack boxes we need to remove the curing pill and perhaps cover them in chocolate so it won't look suspicious." "Then we put them all in a basket with a ribbon, saying "To: Malfoy, From: Your Secrete Admirer." "He won't know what hit him," Mari chuckled.

They all bit their tongues to keep from laughing so hard.

"That's great," said Harry, "you, Ron, and Hermione get that ready." "Leave Snape to me and Ginny."

In DADA

"Miss Weasly?"

"Yes Professor?"

"Would you please deliver this note to Professor Snape?"

"Yes Sir," said Ginny trying to conceal her happiness, "what luck!" she thought.

In Great Hall

Mari left five minutes before breakfast was officially over, and snuck down to the dungeons. She peaked into the classroom. Snape wasn't there yet but she took precautions, muttering a spell she pointed to herself. Instantly her golden hair became black, and her eyes an intense blue. (A/N: cough sound familiar? cough) She walked in and placed the beautiful basket on Malfoys chair, Hermione has done a stunning job she thought. Just as she was about to leave, a cold, quiet voice asked,

"Who are you and what are you doing in my classroom?"

She turned around and smiled, then bolted out the door, but not before she heard him gasp and start after her. She darted into a spare classroom and muttered the spell, changing back into her disguise. That was close, she thought, but then she smiled to herself about probably giving Snape a heart attack. She chuckled when she thought that nobody would believe him, after all, nobody knew that Sirius had a daughter, not even Dumbledore. As long as she kept her disguise on, they wouldn't find out until she told them. The idiotic ministry hadn't cleared him yet, even if he was ...dead, she didn't want people to be scared of her because her father was a supposed murderer. However, she planned to tell Harry and his friends soon, maybe even Dumbledore, she just wanted to wait for the right moment. Sighing she picked up her bag and ran to catch up with the others as they made their way to Potions, and the awaiting prank.

10min later in Potions Class

The marauders were eyeing Malfoy with suppressed laughter. He had arrived late and was just now sitting down, as usual Snape did nothing, but then again he seemed to be thinking about something else...

Malfoy read the note carefully, and then he smirked and looked in the basket. Taking out a piece of candy he put it in his mouth and offered some to Crabbe, Goyle, and Pansy. The reaction was instant, Malfoy started coughing and suddenly his tongue was growing at an alarming rate. Crabbe and Goyle both had bloody noses and Pansy started vomiting on the floor. The marauders and the rest of the Gryffindors started laughing hard, rolling on the ground, while Snape came over to see what was wrong.

However, before he could get there, Harry quietly said "Dressendo" suddenly Snape's hair was turned red and gold, and he was wearing a strapless red dress and high heals, along with a handbag and a wizard's hat that had a stuffed vulture on it. At that moment, Ginny came in with her note from Professor Lupin and handed it to him.

"From P..professor Lupin," she said trying her best not to laugh.

She turned around and quickly winked at the other marauders, before running out the door. Snape scowled and quickly pointed his wand at himself. Dressed in robes again he sent Malfoy, Pansy, Crabbe, and Goyle to the hospital wing. After taking 30 points from Gryffindor, the class got back to normal, almost, for is hair was still red and gold.

By the end of the day everyone knew what happened thanks to Ginny, who told everyone what the marauders had done. Added by the fact that Malfoy and the rest hadn't returned from the hospital wing yet.

Later that night Mari decided that she needed to tell Harry and the others the truth. Gathering them in the common room, she said,

"Guys I have something to tell you." Then she pointed her wand at herself and muttered the spell...

A/N: Muhahahahahahahaha, cliffhanger!!!! I hope you enjoyed this chapter, I thought that Mari being Sirius's daughter would be the perfect twist, hehehehehe. Anyway you know the drill R/R tell me any ideas you think would be good.

Thanx,
