Huzzah! I got another five reviews on my last chapter! Butterbeers all
around. I PROMISE that in this chapter they will get off of the Hogwarts
Express. Thank you all!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* The trip went along fairly smoothly... that is, of course, after James and Sirius had pulled their presorting prank...
"Now that Madam Tiger Lily has been disposed of, shall we move along with operation BPE Mr. Prongs?"
"But of course Mr. Padfoot, after you would be so kind as to enlighten me on the meaning of 'BPE'."
"It means Best Prank Ever stupid... Is anyone in there?" He rapped on James' head and pretended to listen intently. "That's what I though," he declared after a moment of careful concentration.
"Hey," said James, as he lobbed a chocolate frog at Sirius' head, "Don't be pretending I'm the air head Mr. 'I'm all that and a bag of chips'."
"I only said that once... besides, I'm Mr. Padfoot already, thank you very much. Don't hate me because I'm beautiful."
"On don't worry, I don't. I pity you because that fat guy eating the doughnut over there think you are," said James, smirking.
"Touché Mr. Prongs, that was some absolutely corking sparring there, but we must be getting back to our duties..." said Sirius, relapsing into their formal speech.
"Ah yes, our 'studying'. Well, there are the goods Mr. Padfoot." He handed Sirius a package marked "UBER TOP SECRET STUFF!"
"Sirius looked at the title. "Uber? Who says 'uber' anymore?!?"
"You do you twit, you labeled the package."
"Oh yeah... I'd forgotten that. Oh well." Sirius pulled a bundle of firecrackers from the package that James had given him. "Ok! Just have to recite the UBER cool spell, and Bob's your uncle, Lily's your aunt..."
"What the hell?"
"You've never heard anyone say that before?" asked Sirius incredulously.
"You're a strange guy Padfoot," said James, staring at him.
"Birds of a feather Prongsie; why do you think I hang out with you?" said Sirius, grinning.
"Just say the spell, alright?" said James impatiently.
"Fine." Sirius again recited the spell he had shown James, this time waving his and over the fireworks. The glowed momentarily, then looked normal, or at least as normal as wizard firecrackers can look. James prodded a nearby one with his wand, and it immediately began shining again.
"Is that supposed to happen?" asked James dubiously.
"Probably. Poking it with a stick isn't gonna help it though. Come on, let's go." Taking a bag of the enchanted firecrackers each, the strolled nonchalantly through the compartments, discreetly stashing them under the seats of their unsuspecting fellow students. Though the distributed them evenly throughout three of the houses occupants, there were considerably more tucked under the seats of suspicious Slytherins.
They hurried off together and hid themselves in a bathroom.
"On my count then Mr. Padfoot?"
"But of course, be my guest Mr. Prongs."
"One... Two... Three... PRAEMIARE!"
Bangs, whirs, and pops could be heard up and down the train, soon followed by screams.
"Mr. Prongs, I do believe that that melodious sound will increase greatly when the looking in the mirror," said Sirius, beaming happily.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"That's IT!" yelled Lily. She furiously marched up to a nearby first year. "WHERE ARE THEY?" she yelled, nearly knocking them off their feet.
"Who?" whispered the trembling student. An angry Lily could be quite a harrowing sight. With an enraged noise somewhat like a growl, Lily stalked up to a nearby rest room, and, upon hearing triumphant laughter within, kicked the door forward.
"You are the LIMIT!" she yelled.
"Why hello Miss Evans, how may we help you?" asked Sirius in mock politeness, barely keeping a straight face.
Lily was not amused. "Just explain yourselves." she was just as furious as before, but was a bit tired due to her storming.
"I'm not exactly sure what it is that you would like us to explain Evans, kindly remind me?" said James, just managing to suppress a smirk. It was kind of fun for him to watch Evans get angrier and angrier. He was surprised she hadn't exploded yet.
"This!" she stated, deftly catching one of the colorful bombs that was flying buoyantly by and shoving it under their noses.
"Hey that was pretty good Lily, you should be on the Quidditch team. We need a new seeker," said Sirius brightly. (a/n: I read an interview with J.K. Rowling, and she said that James was a chaser, not a seeker.)
"Not if it means being on the team with gits like you. Besides, I'm sure that the GREAT James Potter could play ALL the positions at the same time if he wanted to. Anyway, stop changing the subject... EXPLAIN THESE!"
"They appear to be firecrackers to me, but I'm not as adept in this area of expertise as Mr. Padfoot here is," (Sirius swelled his chest at this and placed his hand on his heart) "What else is there to explain?" James asked innocently.
"I can see that I'm not going to make any progress this way. Maybe Professor Turmungulus will when you two report to his office for a three hour detention for the next week," she said coldly.
James' mouth dropped open in horror, and Sirius began sputtering incoherently. Professor Turmungulus was agreed upon by all the houses -except Slytherin of course- as the cruelest teacher at Hogwards AND he was Snape's idol.
"Come on Evans, how can you do this to me? You know I love you! Let's kiss and make up, huh?"
"You disgust me Pothead, stay away from me." She pulled her wand from her robes to embellish the point.
Suddenly, without warning, James seized Lily around the waist and kissed her full on the lips. Unfortunately, it didn't quite have the romantic effect he had hoped for. Lily, with her cheeks on fire, kicked him in the shins. "Don't you EVER come near me again, do I make myself clear?" she sputtered.
"Well..." began James, trying to keep his suave facade up.
"Shut it!" said Lily. She pointed her wand directly at his face. "Petrificus Totalus!"
James immediately became as stiff as a board. Lily started to leave, but she changed her mind. Turning around, "Wingardium Leviosa!" She floated his feet into the toilet and leaned his body against the wall.
Sirius looked impressed. "That was pretty good Evans! Why aren't you a marauder?"
Lily made a disgusted sound, and with one last glance at the helpless James standing in the toilet, she walked back to her compartment.
As soon as Lily was out of sight, Sirius made a move to free James. Halfway to his wand, he smiled and decided to amuse himself by experimenting with the toilet flusher instead.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I am so sorry that this took this long; I've been busy with schoolwork and such. (Aka I forgot.) I did make a VERY short LOTR parody though... Anyway, the chapter's here now, so I hope you enjoyed it! As usual, please R and R, it really brightens my day!
