Chapter 11: Mayhem on Aisle Three
James walked into his dormitory and plopped down on his bed. He was exhausted from the long train ride on the Hogwarts Express.
"Did you guys get anything interesting for Christmas?" asked Remus in a tired voice.
James sat up straight with a huge grin on his face, and without a word went over to his trunk and started to throw things everywhere.
"James!" Sirius said in a disgruntled voice, "Not that I disagree with your way of unpacking, it's just I rather not have your underwear thrown at my face, thank you!"
James finally found what he was looking for and took it out carefully.
"Do you know what this is?" James asked them.
"Uh, a rather ugly piece of cloth" asked Sirius.
"No! It's an invisibility cloak!" said Remus admonished in a hushed
in a whisper.
"Correct!" James said happily to Remus, "see, look!"
He then threw it over himself and disappeared. Sirius and Peter both gasped.
"Where did he go?" asked Peter, confused (A/N: God he is so stupid!)
Just then Peter jumped as something poked him in his back (A/N: Guess who!). Then all of a sudden a hand appeared out of nowhere and started floating around the room.
"Cool! Let me try it on!" said Sirius.
James took of the cloak and handed it to Sirius. He put it on and started walking around the room, and picking up books to make it look like they were floating around by themselves.
"Think of all the things we could do with this!' Sirius said happily, while still under the cloak.
"Yeah, I thought about it," James said with a small smile on his face, "I wonder if we all can fit under it…"
"Come on, let's see."
Sirius appeared and ushered them all under the cloak. They did all fit. There was still plenty of room left in the cloak even with the four of them there.
"Anyone up for a little nighttime stroll?" asked Sirius in a causal voice.
"I am!" they all said happily.
"Let's go then!" Sirius said, heading for the door. The rest didn't start walking and the result was that Sirius strolled right out from under the cloak (A/N: try to imagine that, Sirius just popping out of nowhere, thinking he is invisible…sorry, back to the story!)
"Come on people, you have to walk with me!"
"Sorry," they all said at the same time.
"Right, well we better practice walking together. If we don't wish to get caught," Remus stated as they all got back under the cloak.
Ten minutes later they were all exiting the common room and walking down the corridor.
"We're too loud, stop making so much noise Sirius!"
"Me, what did I do?"
"Well, if you would stop-"
"Shh! Someone is coming!" Remus whispered urgently.
They all stopped and listened. Someone was indeed coming. Filch was coming around the corridor muttering to himself. They decided to start walking slowly in the opposite direction.
"Bloody poltergeist! Dumbledore insists on keeping the bloody thing. If only Dumbledore would-"
Just then Sirius ran into a suit of armor making it fall to the ground with a large clunk. They all stopped.
"Peeves!" Filch shouted down the corridor. "I know your there!"
He started walking towards them. He stopped by the suit of armor and looked around. He started walking in the direction they went. If they didn't move now there would be a nasty collision. James motioned for then to move to the wall and they all started scurrying noiselessly to their right. Filch continued to walk straight. They waited until he was out of sight before breathing a sign of relief.
"That was close!" James said.
"Yeah too close!" Remus added, "Do you think we should go back?"
"What are you talking about? Let's just go down a different corridor! I heard that there are tons of secret passageways in this castle!"
"And how do you expect for us to find them?"
"Dunno, lets just walk around a bit."
They were still walking around the castle about an hour or so later, they had no idea where they were.
"Do you think we are on the third floor?"
"Dunno, I never saw that picture before."
"The one with the guy trying to train the trolls?"
"Yeah,"
"Well do you think that we should go this way?"
"Nah, we should go this way!"
They were pulling each other back and forth until suddenly a door appeared on the previously blank wall.
"Whoa, what's that?" James asked.
"A door." Peter said matter-of-factly.
"Well, duh! I mean it wasn't there before!"
"Do you think we should go in?"
"I suppose, come on!"
They walked into the room. There were four very comfortable looking seats and books all around.
"What is this place?" asked Remus.
They looked at one of the walls and saw sign that they knew wasn't there before. It read:
'Welcome to the Room of Requirements!'
"I guess this is the Room of Requirements…"
"What does it do?"
Just then a book appeared on a use to be empty table. It was already open to a certain page. Remus walked over to it and started to read a passage from it out loud.
"The Room of Requirements: a room located in Hogwarts on the seventh floor on a blank wall opposite the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy. To get into the room you must walk past the wall three times whilst concentrating on the thing that you need. If done so properly the room with fill itself with the items that you most require."
"Whoa!" Sirius said while looking around the room.
"Yeah," said James as he read the titles of some of the books in the room, "Hey guys, look at these!"
He showed them the books. They were all on Hogwarts and all the passageways in the castle.
"Well," Sirius said pointing at one passage that read about how to get to the kitchens, "Shall we get started?"
Weeks past and by that time the Marauders knew just about every single passage that there was in Hogwarts.
They were walking down the corridors together heading toward the Great Hall for lunch when someone ran head first into James while they were turning a corner.
"Hey, watch it!" James shouted at the boy.
"You watch it Potter!" he spat back.
"It's Snape right?" asked Sirius.
"What's it to you?"
"Where are your manners?" Sirius asked with a smirk.
"Don't think he's got any Sirius! That's not good! I think we should teach him some, don't you?" asked James, while an identical smirk grew on his face.
"Come on guys, just leave him alone!" Remus said, with a sort of pleading in his voice.
"No, no we cannot over look this!" Sirius said in a business type manner.
"If you try anything, you'll pay!" Snape said with an evil glint in his eyes.
"Oh really? What are you gonna do to us? Drowned us with the grease from your hair. Nasty really, you should really wash it you know?" Sirius said happily.
Just then a curse hit Sirius in the stomach and he flew back and hit the nearby wall and slumped to the ground.
"Anybody else want to mess with me?" Snape asked with his wand out, pointing it at them all.
James took out his wand and before Snape could do anything he sent a jelly legs curse at him. Sirius was about to rejoin the fight when Professor McGonagall came around the corner.
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!" She shouted and they all stopped to look at her, "DETENTION ALL OF YOU, AND 50 POINTS FROM EACH OF YOU!" she said to James, Sirius, and Snape.
"NOW GET GOING OR IT WILL BE A WEEKS WORTH OF DETENTION!"
They didn't need telling twice they all quickly went their separate ways. Though that wasn't the end of it. Nobody messed with the Marauders, and if they did, they would pay.
About three days later, Snape thought that the Marauders had forgotten their little 'fight', but indeed he was wrong. Snape headed out of the Slytherin common room as usual and proceeded down to the Great Hall for breakfast.
Though something stopped him halfway down the corridor. He stopped in front of a suit of armor which seemed to be talking to him.
"Hello! Snape, how's your hair doing, still haven't showered have you? You would think after your little run in with the wonderful, bold, brave, ingenious, Marauders that you would have taken there advice, but no you just had to continue with your filthy behavior."
Snape just stood there for a minute shocked. Then narrowed his eyes. If that was the best that they could do then they really shouldn't even have a nickname. He continued on his way, but he noticed that it wasn't just that one suit of armor, it was all of them. They were all shouting at him as he past.
"Wow, look at your nose, you should really put a shrinking charm on that!"
"Oh, look at your hair, take a shower young man!"
"Why are you walking alone don't you have any friends?"
The questions and comments never seemed to stop, in fact they didn't stop. Even once he entered the Great Hall all the students seemed to be following the Marauders example and were calling out the same things to him. He didn't know if he could take it anymore.
It continued throughout the whole day. Once the spell on the suits of armor started to wear off, everyone continued to torment him.
Once dinner arrived Snape thought that he would snap. He didn't even notice when a certain Gryffindor first year came by and accidentally slipped something onto his potato.
He took a bite and then felt the hair on his head shrivel up into a dry type of material that felt like straw. His nose started to grow and not stop, while words began to be written on the face. They read:
"I Severus Snape am an ugly, greasy haired git, who knows too many curses for my own good. I have no friends and it is no wonder why. As you can see my nose is way too large for my body and should be kept out of other peoples business. I also should have not messed with the Marauders who are far better than I am, because no one ever messes with the Marauders and gets away with it!"
In the end Madam Pomfrey was able to fix his hair and nose, but the words didn't come off for weeks. The Marauders each got a month of detention, but it didn't matter. As long as they got back at Snape they were happy.
A/N: Okay there you go Snape is in there! Hooray! I am so good! I hope that you liked it! Please review and tell me what you think! It's not that hard! Also I already have the other chapter written…if only I got more reviews than maybe it could go up sooner….Ah well guess you will have to wait! Yes I know I'm evil!
