Both groups slept in the next day and weren't seen until after lunch. This meant that both groups were hungry at this point and wanted to eat anything.
"Hey guys, I have some sweets up stairs that we can share."
"Sweets! You've got sweets well go get them Mand!"
The girls laughed at the way Sirius started flapping his arms for these sweets, you'd swear he hadn't eaten in a long time. Amanda went up the stairs and returned.
Instantly she started handing out sweets and then after everyone had had one dropped the rest on the table. The girls all hid the smiles that were creeping up their faces as they ate their way through the pile of sweets and the remaining food from the night before.
Remus sat there watching everyone talk, he couldn't help but wonder if the girls would be this kind next Saturday. Then he felt a strange bubbling in his stomach, he felt blotted for a moment and then a rush of air sensation through his body.
Next to him Peter had begun to swell and was floating slightly off the ground with Sirius and James quickly following suit.
His eyes began to open wider and he couldn't make a sound as he opened his mouth. The girls were on the floor rolling with laughter, but he noted that both Ginny and Amanda were able to say the deflating spell and then he saw the robes they wore were gold and he knew that his face like the others was red.
Then a loud roar came from Peter and they knew that they had been had just like Snape. Branwen looked up and just laughed more, people around the common room were staring and she could see Frank and Thomas Christian sitting on a table together laughing so hard tears were beginning to form.
"Amanda Dixon, did you do this?"
The girls turned to find Andromeda standing with her hands on hips trying her hardest not to grin as she lectured the younger girls.
"Depends Andi, what you think of it?"
"Brilliant! You'll have to show me that one so I can get my sisters."
"Deal Andi,"
Another roar was heard before the boys began to deflate. They looked down and on their robes were words. Peters said Lionesses 2 Marauders 0, Remus' Lionesses 3 Marauders 0, James had Lionesses 4 Marauders 0, and Sirius wore the words Lionesses 5 Marauders 0.
The boy looked defeated and as if they were about to lose it when Peter started laughing.
"You should have seen yourselves you just looked so funny."
"Pete you looked the same way!"
"I know James, but it was so funny."
As his laughter rang the other three began to grin. They had been had by a bunch of girls. Them the Great Marauders, who had formed the year prior to bring pranks and trouble to the school had been beaten to the first five pranks of the school year by the 'Lionesses' who were just a bunch of goody goodies who were kind of popular.
"How'd you get us like that anyway?"
So Amanda and Ginny explained to the group of boys plus Andi what they had told the girls the night before. The boys had decided at this point it would be war, and they would fight as dirty as they needed to, to win this fight.
Little did they know that their revenge would split their group for the next four years. It would be four long years before they could all sit together like this, chatting and laughing, it would be the dark times not the happy that would one day reunite them in their numbers.
