Potions and Pranks
It's at times like these that I wonder where in the hell my brain was when I decided to be friends with James and Sirius. (Obviously not in my head…) They've corrupted me, I swear. I used to be a GOOD kid- that's why I'm Prefect. Sadly, that era has ended. Take today, for instance. We were in Potions with Professor Madden, Head of Slytherin and president of the "I hate the Marauders Club." If there was such a thing. Or if he knew we called ourselves that. (There isn't, and he doesn't. But if there were, Madden would be president.) Before I explain what happened, let me first say that Potions with the Slytherins is about as much fun as getting your brain pulled out your nostril. Let me also say that Madden is a chauvinistic pig who thinks that girls shouldn't be allowed within ten yards of a Potions lab. Now, as you have probably already guessed, we hate him. You have probably also guessed that our natural smart-ass tendencies sometimes get the better of us in Potions. Ok, all of the time. Though you probably have a general idea of what happened, indulge me as I record it for posterity.
James: This is so BORING. Couldn't we try a Potion that's, I dunno, difficult? (We were making a Shrinking Solution.)
Lily: Stop being such a show-off, Potter.
James: Bite me, Evans.
Lily: Uck, don't make me sick, Potter.
Me: Stop fighting, children.
James: Yeah, Evans, stop arguing with me.
Lily: Children. Plural. That would include you, genius boy.
Me (to Peter): Will they ever just shut up and realize that they really just want to shag each other?
Peter (snickers): Dunno, Moony. Tune in next week to find out…
Sirius: Nah, they won't. It's a physical impossibility for one of them to admit the other's right. There's research to back me up.
Peter (interested): Really?
Me: Yes, Peter. In the Ministry of Magic there's a top-secret file that's labeled "Why Lily Evans and James Potter do not get along."
Peter: REALLY??
Sirius (to me): Do we really have to answer that?
Me: Sadly, I think we do.
Lily (who apparently has been ignoring most of the conversation): Well, I wouldn't argue with him if he wasn't WRONG.
Me: It's his opinion, Lil, it can't be wrong.
James: Yeah! I'm right and you're wrong.
Lily: Get over yourself, Potter.
James: Make me!
Lily: You make no sense, you arrogant prat.
Madden: Evans! Potter! Stop flirting.
Sirius, Peter and I snickered.
Lily (Quietly): We are not flirting.
Madden: I'm sorry, Evans?
Sirius (to Peter and me): No he's not.
Madden: Shut up, Black. (turning to Lily) What were you saying, Evans?
Lily: I-I was s-saying that we w-weren't flirting, sir.
Madden: Really? Then what, pray tell, were you doing?
Lily (turning red): We were arguing.
Peter (whispering): Yeah, couldn't you hear them?
Madden: Well, Evans-
James: You know, it's really rude to call a girl by her surname.
Madden: No one asked for your opinion, Potter.
Sirius: I did!
Madden: SHUT UP, BLACK! 10 points each from all three of you for disturbing my class.
Me: With what, our acerbic wit and clever observations?
Madden: LUPIN!!
Me: Yes, sir?
Sirius: No, I believe it was our very own soap opera that annoyed our dear professor, Remus. "Lily and James: The Life Before the Love."
Madden: BLACK!! Both of you BE QUIET!! 10 points from Lupin and 10 more from Black.
James: But why?
Madden: WHY WHAT???
Peter: Why?
Madden: What?
Me: Exactly.
Lily (shaking her head): You have officially stopped making sense now.
Sirius: Thank you.
Madden: Lupin, Black, Potter and Evans! You all have detention!
Me: But why?
Madden: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??
Me: Why do we have detentions, sir?
Madden (incredulous): You can't be serious.
Sirius: No, I am.
Me: I am serious, sir.
Madden: For disrupting my class with your idiotic discussions that have NOTHING to do with the lesson!
James: I didn't hear discussing.
Sirius: Me either.
Me: I think you're hearing things, sir.
Madden: BE QUIET!
Sirius: You're hearing things AGAIN, sir. We weren't talking.
Madden (sarcastically): Oh really, Black? Than who was?
Me: I believe that was the mutant grapefruit, sir.
James: Probably. He's an amazing ventriloquist.
Peter: His name is Herbert.
Sirius: Yes. And now we must be going. Good bye.
Of course, we got about a thousand points taken off and three detentions each, but it was worth it. I don't think Madden will ever really know if he was hearing things. And don't ask me where the mutant grapefruit- excuse me, Herbert- came from. I'm just cool like that. -RJL
