Daddy Harry

Chapter 20: The Prank

The next day found everyone in high spirits when Harry and Ginny picked up the twins. They were happy, and said hello to everyone. James took Harry aside and asked if he would like to help the Marauders out in one last prank?

"Will this finally make me one of the Marauders?" Harry asked with hope in his voice.

:"Well Harry, that would depend on how well you do in this prank. We are going to be pranking Severus as we always did when we were in school. It won't be a harmful prank, just one so that everyone knows that the Marauders are back." James said with a twinkle in his eyes as Remus and Sirius came over and said hello.

"So has prongsy told you about our idea Harry?" Moony asked.

"Well yes he told me that you were planning on pranking Severus, but no he hasn't told me what the prank was going to be. He has also asked me to help you all out. I have a slight problem with helping you all out, if it doesn't mean that I'm not going to be an official member of the Marauders, considering that I'm a Professor now, and I could get into trouble. Now if I was an official member, it wouldn't hurt to bad." Harry said this with youthful innocence in his eyes, but they could tell that he was smiling and has been thinking on this for a while now.

"Ok Harry, you can join us. What shall we call you as a nickname tho? Do you have a ani-magus form yet? What am I saying, of course you do, you're the son of a Marauder." The Marauders said this with a smile. "Well what is it, come on Harry, don't keep us in suspense."

"Well I'm a golden lion, like the griffindor lion. As to what my nickname shall be, I don't know." Harry looked like he was thinking. "How about stalker, because I like to stalk my prey."

"Ok Harry, or shall I say Stalker, welcome to the Marauders." The four Marauders went over to where the rest of the family was at, and said hello to Ginny. "Well stalker, we will see you tomorrow, since it is a Saturday. We will discuss what we were talking about."

"Sure dad, I can be here for a while, but I have to be back by noon, we're going to go to the Burrow to visit Ginny's family for the rest of the weekend. But I can help you out for a little while tomorrow."

"Well right after breakfast then, and we will be done by 11 so that you can come back and get ready. I think we're planning on doing it sometime towards the end of next week."

"Sounds like fun, do you think it will be a problem Gin." Harry gave her his puppy dog eyes when he asked.

"Oh you have your fun tomorrow, but make sure your back in time."

The next day was spent getting things ready for the prank in the morning, and then Harry getting back to his quarters in plenty of time to get himself and the twins ready to go. The prank it seems involves getting Severus to drink a small potion, through his drink as far as we can tell so far, and it turning him white with yellow polka dots, singing the Beach Boy hit "She wore and itsy, bitsy, teeny, weeny, yellow polka dot bikini for the first time today." They figured that they would make a small fool of him, but have some fun in doing it.

"Harry that's terrible, but I love it. I'm sure Snape will find it funny also, but still be mad. You know he loves the Beach Boys music." Ginny said giggling. "I think he will find it quite funny actually."

The rest of the weekend went by without any problems Alec and Caroline were the talk of the Weasley household, along with the announcement that Hermoine was going to have a little girl in about 6 months, at around there anniversary actually. "That's great Moine, you will have your baby around your 1 year anniversary, that is so cool. That means that she will be able to go to Hogwarts with Alec and Caroline in the same year, doesn't it?"

"Yes it does Gin, since she will be turning 11 only 6 months after the twins do, and if it doesn't work out like that, I'm sure we can talk to Dumbledore about moving her up a bit so that they can go to school together." Mione said with a smile to her sister-in-law/best friend.

Harry was bragging to the Weasley twins about how he was now an official Marauder, and about the big prank they were planning to play on Severus next week. "It's going to be great guys, maybe you two can come up on the day that it happens to see what we do."

"We will see what we can do Harry, but it is a certain possibility that we can make it there. Thank you for inviting us up to watch. We promise that we will be good, and not get you into trouble."

"Thank you guys, I know that you will, or else I will send Ginny after you." Harry watched as the twins went white then started laughing when they realized he was kidding.

They thanked the Weasley's for a lovely weekend and headed back to the school. When they got there, they went up to there quarters and settled in for the night.

The rest of the week went by without a problem, and Friday came up quickly when the Marauders decided that they were going to pull there prank. They had Dobby slip it into Severuses drink, and they sat back and watched.

When he had drunk the pumpkin juice, Severus stood up, made the announcement that this is being done by none other than the Marauders, and started singing. "She wore an itsy, bitsy, teeny, weeny, yellow polka dot bikini, for the first time today." As he was singing, his outfit changed to a yellow polka dot bikini, and he did a hula dance while singing. The whole hall burst out in applause and cat calls after this had happened, and Severus turned back to himself after a bow and the applause calmed down. He turned to James, Sirius and Remus with a scowl, not knowing that Harry had a been a big part of this. "Your going to pay for this you three, this means that you are going to have to.... no I won't tell you, but I'm not the same person that you used to pick on back in school. But thank you for this, it is one of my favorite songs, so I won't be to hard in what I do." Severus cackled as he sat down to finish his meal.

The marauders turned to each other and started laughing there heads off. The Weasley twins came up to them and congratulated them on a fantastic prank. "Well folks, thank you for the great time and dinner, but we need to go. Give the twins a hug and a kiss for us Harry and Ginny. Good night and sweet dreams." With that they left the great hall to the apparition point outside of the Hogwarts gates and disappeared.

A/N: ok that was chapter 20, and that means that there are only 10 more chapters yet. That means 7 chapters left of Ginny's 7th year, and the last 3 chapters will show the family's 1 year later, 5 years later, and finally the summer right before the sequal starts, which will be right before the kids start Hogwarts 11 years later. Thank you and remember to always read and review. ----Donald
