Chapter 2: The First Night

When they entered the Entrance Hall the boy's saw that Peeves the Poltergeist was up to his usual tricks. This time it was throwing ink filled balloons at all the students. They just barley escaped the ink by diving into the Great Hall. (literally)

"That was close." Remus, more commonly known as Moony by their small group, said.

"You got that right." Peter, or Wormtail, said as the got off the floor. the four found their seats towards the middle of the Gryffindor table.

Soon after everyone was seated (with the exception of the first years) Professor McGonagall came in shortly followed by many frightened looking first years.

"Now when I call your name come and sit on the stool while I put the sorting hat on your head." she said to the little 'midgets', as Sirius liked to call them.

She then took out her scroll that had all the names on it and started calling names in alphabetical order.

"Abbot, Sammi." a small looking girl went up and sat on the three-legged stool. After a few seconds the hat shouted, "GRYFFINDOR," the Gryffindor table exploded in clappter. Soon after that the Marauder's lost interest in the sorting. Occasionally clapping when a new student was sorted in their house.

"What prank should we start this year out with?" Sirius asked his fellow Marauder's.

"I don't know but we have to be able to top last year's first day of school prank." Peter said.

After several moments of silence, only to be broken by clapping for the first years, moony exclaimed, "Oh! I know, we could turn everyone's hair the color of their house!"

"But how?", questioned Wormtail.

"The Great Hall doors! We could place a charm on them, so that whenever someone walks into the hall then their hair will turn the colors of their house, and for the teachers it will turn their former house color!"

"Yeah, that's great, but we need something else.", said Sirius.

"How about we put another charm on the door so that once they walk through it, their exact thoughts will appear on the back of their robes."

"And we can make it last for the whole day!", James concluded.

"Of course we will have to look up some spells tonight." Moony told the others.

"That will be easy Moony.", Sirius, or Padfoot, said.

"Well that's it then, we all will sneak into the library to find the spells, and set them up.", Prongs (James) said.

By the time the conversation was finished all the 'firisties' were almost done being sorted. Only about nine were left. Two Slytherins, four Ravenclaws, and three Gryffindors later they had a total of 14 new kids in Gryffindor to make up for the lost seventh years from last year. Dumbledore then stood up to make his beginning of the year speech.

"Now I have some announcements, but I can see that you all are very hungry so, let us stuff ourselves until we burst." After the small speech by the headmaster all the food magically (duh...) appeared on the table.

"Yum........."

The Marauders started to pile food on their plates until you couldn't put anything else on it with out the food falling off. (They were growing boys after all.)

While eating, they envisioned the confusion and bewilderment they would cause the next morning.

Breaking the silence, James voiced his plan. "We should go to the library straight after dinner. There are lots of books to go through."

"I can't, I'm a Prefect!", Moony exclaimed.

"Well you can join us after you take the midgets up to the Common Room and their dorms." Sirius said, "Don't forget to bring the cloak and map, we might be in the library for a while.", he said more quietly.

"Ok."

Once everything disappeared from the table leaving the plates and bowls spotless, Dumbledore stood up once again to address the students. "Now I would like to tell all the first years, and a few older students," he looked straight at the Marauders, "that the forest is forbidden to all, also Mr. Filch has added more items to the list, to see it is hanging up in his office. Also you are reminded that magic is not permitted in the corridors." There were a few snickers from the four troublesome boys sitting at the Gryffindor table.

"That is all you my go to your dormitories now."
