Chapter 6: Hair Straighteners, Sickening Potions & Nail Varnish Remover - Random Fun for The Maurauders
That afternoon, during double potions with Ravenclaw, they saw Lily sitting with Lynn. Lynn looked somewhat different today. He normally messy, curly hair was straight and tidy. This made quite a difference on Lynnie, you could actually see & appreciate her features.
"Wot' choo done thoo 'or hair?" interogated James, his mouth half full of apple pie, spraying a few crumbs.
"I got in a fight with Alana Prene. You know, that Slytherin girl who looks like an overgrown donkey. She tried the full-body bind on me, but she missed and got my hair. Full-body binds seem to be good for straigtening hair for some reason..." she looked thoughtful.
"But you should have seen Prene! Lynn had her arms Transfigured into octopus tentacles!" added Lily excitedly.
"The look rather suited her." remarked Lynnie still TRYING to look thoughtful, fighting back laughter.
"That was a pretty tough spell, I'm surprised you could do it." remarked Lily.
"I'm naturally gifted at Transfiguration, especially at animal Transfiguration." Lynn exchanged a sly look with her fellow Maurauders.
Sirius and James took the workbench next to the two L's. Remus & Peter were behind Sirius & James. Peter was having alot of problems with with his antidote for Lobalug venom. It was supposed to be bright blue but now was a murky gray. Remus began checking everything to find out what had gone wrong and to find a possible way to 'cure' it.
Lynn's luck at concocting the antidote was also foul. First, she added an ounce too much of squid eye, causing the potion to whirl nauseatingly. Lily quickly countered this by adding salamander blood. Then, Lynn screwed it up again thanks to her klutzieness - she knocked over the whole vial of murtlap essence, making the potion bubble threateningly and splash out of the cauldron. Lily immediately dropped in some unknown powder which calmed the potion down nicely and proceeded to make sure that Lynn stayed FAR away from their cauldron, leaving Lily to brew the antidote in peace.
Sirius and James were throwing everything in at random, eager to see what would happen. The potion appeared to be irritated at them and turned blood red, spewing itself onto Sirius, though only a few droplets touched James. The cauldron was, later,consequently empty & Sirius' skin & James' robes (and parts of the floor which had been wet) turned bright green with purple polka dots. James was howling in laughter as he brought Sirius to the matron, Miss Praft.
Remus had actually, if possible, made his & Peter's antidote worse. It had turned into a disgusting, putrid-smelling yellow pus-like liquid. When Peter tried dipping a quill in it (to test it), the mixture bubbled angrily and disolved the quill. The smell then grew alot worse. It was so bad, it made the whole classroom feel like puking. Professor Cline, the current Potions teacher, evacuated the classroom and gave them the rest of his lesson to have free time. Many people went to Peter and Remus to say thanks. When Sirius heard the tale, he burst into laughter louder than James' when he had laughed at a polka-dotted Sirius.
Sirius looked slightly better though he still looked a faint green making many think he was about to be sick. Albus Dumbledore himself recommended Sirius a good potion to cure the stomach flu. The 5 Maurauders & Lily lounged near the lake, Lynnie feeding the giant squid her leftover chicken drumsticks from lunch. She had been saving these as a snack but potion had splashed on it. She decided to use the squid as her guinea pig to see if the chicken was still edible. It was, to the squid, though not for human consumption, as she found out the hard way. This meant visiting Miss Praft to drink a horrid potion that tasted awfully like drinking nail varnish remover (A/N:I should know how bad this tastes... :p ).
A/N: You are nearing Chapter 7, I had better see review or NOTHING will come after Chappie 7, I can asure you. Have a nice day.
