::Chapter 5: ZAP!::
Lily sat in the Heads' Common room at 4:00 AM. She woke up especially early to do James's half of the Head papers.
"Evans?" she heard his voice say from his room. "Awake so early?"
"…"
"Oh, giving me the silent treatment now, Evans?" He ran over and plopped down next to her. "Oh fine, I've been pretty harsh on you, so now I'm willing to give you something to do to me. Come on, Evans! Be a bad girl!"
She grabbed his hand and began to write on it.
"What are you doing?" he asked while trying to suppress his laughter. "This kind of tickles."
She let go of his hand and said, "You've just been zapped."
"Zapped?" he asked. "What's zapped?"
"See, on your hand, I wrote the word zap, showing you've been zapped. Then there should be a time for you to stop-"
"Midnight?"
"Oh yes," she said. "And whenever anyone says your name, you have to say the phrase written-- especially if teachers call on you. But if a teacher says your name twice in a row, you can tell 'em you've been zapped, that is, if they don't know yet!"
He tilted his head to read what the phrase was. When he was done, his eyes widened, "You've got to be kidding me!"
"Does everyone have to end at midnight?" he asked, the old prankster glint back in his eyes.
"Of course not. You have to end at midnight!" She pushed the reports in front of him. "Done! Have fun, Potter."
"Hey, Padfoot!" James ran over, quill in hand. He took his best friend's hand and began writing quickly on it. "You've just been zapped."
"Zapped?" Sirius asked through mouthfuls.
James recited the exact explanation on what zapping was, but as he did this many of the students surrounding him heard…
As did the teachers.
"Welcome, class!" Professor McGonnagal walked into the classroom. "How are you doing today, Mr. Malfoy?"
Lucious sighed and began reading off his hand, "I want to lasso in something sexy."
"I see," Professor McGonnagal said. "What do you think about that, Mr. Black?"
"I'm available."
"Do you have a say in this, Mr. Lupin?"
"I thought you were gay."
"Ms. Yoon, do you know what is going on?"
"I love you and I wanna fuck you."
"And you Mr. Snape?"
"I do too."
"What do you think about all of this, Ms. Valencia?"
"You're all a bunch of kiss-ups."
"I see," Professor McGonnagal said merrily. She was obviously enjoying herself. "Yes, Mr. Potter?"
"You're a sexy beast and I want to ride you around your world wearing only socks," James read off his hand. "What do you think, Professor McGonnagal?"
"I like to watch you children when you sleep."
"Lily," Faye laughed. "This is kinda fun! Did you bring this game back?"
"Yes," she replied. "I guess you can say that."
"Hey, Lils," Beth ran over. "Let me see your hand really fast?"
"I'm sorry," Lily said hiding her hands in her pockets. "I couldn't hear you, Beth."
"What's my name?"
"Beth.""What's my name?"
"Beth."
"Hey, Moony!" Sirius came over. "Who zapped you?"
"I'm not sure," Remus looked up from his book. "I woke up and this was on my hand. I'm pretty sure it was you, Sirius."
"I'm available, Remus."
"I thought you were gay."
At least half of the student body had been zapped, if not more. James was quite enjoying himself, walking through the halls and saying everyone's names.
"Good afternoon, Jennifer!"
"I like to touch myself when I'm wet."
"And how are you, Mr. Wood?"
"I think my last name is a perfect description of how I always am."
"And how has your day been, Professor Flitwick?"
"What I'm missing in height up above, I make up for down below, Mr. Potter."
"You're a sexy beast and I want to ride you around your world wearing only socks, sir," James replied joyfully. "Is there anyone specific with a good zap?"
"Ah, yes, Mr. Potter!" Professor Flitwick replied. "How about having a nice chat with Professor Dumbledore?"
"Aye-aye!" James laughed and headed back towards the Heads' Tower. He picked up the Heads' Reports and headed towards Dumbledore's office.
"Ah, Mr. Potter!" Dumbledore said merrily.
"You're a sexy beast and I want to ride you around your world wearing only socks!" James said. "Here are the reports, Professor Albus Dumbledore!"
"Ah." His eyes twinkled as he recited: "You make me hot inside; lets tango."
James's face was turning red. It was one thing to hear someone say that, another thing to hear an old man say that, and a really great thing to hear an old teacher say that to a student. "I-" James tried his hardest not to burst out laughing. "I see. Well, see you, sir!"
"Wait, Mr. Potter! You didn't say hi to this person!" It was then that James realized there was a boy sitting next to Professor Dumbledore. The boy looked between the ages of 15 and 17. "This is Nathan."
"I'm a cowboy, will you be my bull?" Nathan read off his hand. "Nice to meet you. I transferred here from America. I hope to see you around. It has been nice staying with the headmaster so far!" He turned to Dumbledore and grinned. "You're a very nice person, Professor Dumbledore!"
"You make me hot inside; lets tango."
"If you wish it." Nathan stood and held up his arms for Dumbledore to take.
Before James could see what Dumbledore's reaction was, he ran out of the room, bursting out into uncontrollable laughter when he got back to the tower.
At 7:03, James headed out of the Heads' Tower to look for Lily; their rounds were going to begin in about 17 minutes. He headed to the Gryffindor tower, where she most likely was.
"Sixty-two thousand, four hundred forty-three," James said to the Fat Lady.
The door opened a crack, but before he fully entered, he heard some of the girls in the common room talking. Just then, Lily's voice seemed to be heard more clearly than the others as she said:
"I think Potter's pretty cute."
James stood brain-dead for 2 minutes before entering. "Evans? It's almost time for our rounds."
"Oh, hey Potter! You know my friend Beth."
"What's my name?"
"Beth.""What's my name?"
"Beth."
"What's my name?"
"Oh stop it already!" Faye said, throwing a pillow at Lily. "Go and do your rounds already. We'll see you tomorrow."
"Bye!"
They began searching the halls for anyone doing anything stupid.
"Hey, Padfoot!" James called halfway through their rounds. "I gave your zap up until 6:15. Are you free now, Sirius?"
"The lump in my pants is named Tiny Tim."
"What?" Lily laughed. "Who got you?"
"Remus."
"Good luck with that, mate!" James laughed. "See you!"
Their rounds finished quickly, finding that no one was doing anything against the rules tonight.
"That has to be a record," Lily said once they re-entered the room. "Not one person doing anything bad tonight!"
"Yeah, well," James scratched his head. "Hey, when I was going to get you from the Gryffindor Dorm, I heard you say something weird… um…"
"Ah," Lily chuckled slightly. "You mean I think Potter's pretty cute?"
"Yeah."
"That's my zap!" She lifted her hand so he could see the word ZAP written on it. "Just to get me, they tied me up with ropes until they were done."
"Oh." The look on James's face was now filled with sadness, as if something he had been waiting for his whole life was a dud.
"Err… are you okay?"
"Yeah, sure," James replied in a small voice. "I just thought when you said that… that… uh, never mind."
"Hey, wait!" Lily called. "Tell me! What did you think when I said-"
"Uh, never mind. It doesn't really matter anyways." From the sound in his voice, it was obvious he felt uncomfortable in the room. "So, g'night."
"Uh, goodnight."
As he walked up the stairs, part of Lily's brain was willing for her to go after him just to apologize for something she knew was wrong, but no matter how much she tried to go after him, she couldn't move. A part of her pulled her back.
::End Chapter::
Author's Note: This chapter was based on something that happened to me at school the other day. But in school, it wasn't 'teachers zapping teachers' and 'students zapping students.' Uh, no. It was, 'Teachers zapping students' and 'students zapping teachers.' That was pretty brutal (BTW: My zap was: YOU MAKE ME FEEL BRAND NEW!) Um, yeah. That's all I wanted to say, and since I'm probably going to upload this on May the 29, then Happy 14th b-day to me Mwah!
Reviewers
MPPSexxySiriusJamesRemus: Glad you liked the last chapter! :D I hope you liked this one too!
MidiMalfoy: He's probably going to be a nice guy in the end, y'know? Cedric was nice in the fourth book, so why would his dad be a dick (its just his dad was the only person I could think of that would be in their year as well, so I always use him).
Windowseat Wonderer: Yeah, last chapter was pretty short, BUT SO WAS THIS ONE! MWAHAHA! Oh well, I'm sure Cindy will have a few more tricks up her sleeve that'll show up sooner or later.
Night Tinker Bell: Ooh, la la! Nice penname! Anyways, like I said to the other reviewers: I'll try to update about once a week!
lilypad-7879: I didn't make this chapter as cute as the last one (sorry) I made it more humor-full. Anyways, I started off writing humor fics, I still haven't gotten rid of that trait. (MWAHAHA)
Emrisah: Usually in my Fanfics, I have at least one weird character (I started off writing humor-full fanfics on an old penname I shall never speak of again). In the Harry Potter series, it's usually Dumbledore and Sirius. But if I just write a fic that's meant to be humor… then they're all weird (ESPECIALLY Harry).
pInKpIlLo6: Ahaha! Usually in my (serious) marauder fics, the 2 weirdest characters are Sirius (on the students half) and Dumbledore (on the teachers half)! Glad you like it!
Angel Street: I hope you liked this chapter! It was more humor-full than what I had expected it to be.
crazykitt3n: Ahaha! In my (serious) marauder fics, I always have 2 weirder characters. Dumbledore (for the teachers half) and Sirius (for the students half). Sorry, I can't help it! I started off writing in the humor sections on an old penname (I shall never speak of again).
Ti: I'll read your poem once my tests are done. JEEZ! THE TEACHERS ARE KILLING US WITH TESTS! In fact, today we received a test that NO ONE finished. L That's not cool!… actually, y'know what? I'll read it right now! Okay, I'll review under the penname: LauraLove
James-Padfoot: Ah, long one after this one. I gotta admit, this chapter was pretty short as well. Sorry about that. Oh, and sorry if you find this to be a cliffhanger.
Crimsonmyst: AHAHAHA! They're so weird! AAAAHAHAHAHAHA! L8R sistah-sistah! Never knew how much I missed ya! Now everybody will see how different we have come to be! Sistah SISTAH!
