A/N: THIS CHAPTER IS DEDICATED TO ANYONE WHO WORKS OR HAS APPLIED TO KFC/TACO BELL. THAT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER HAD TO TAKE A TEST BEFORE AN INTERVIEW FOR A JOB.

Chapter 22: Pranks 2 & 3

It wasn't until the end of breakfast that the girls got to see the second prank. All of a sudden James jumped to his feet.

"Come on Gryffindors, let's get to class," he shouted for everyone to hear.

Just as soon as he finished, all the Slytherins stood. Then, to everyone's amusement, they began to sing "It's a Small World After All" at the top of their lungs. Their faces were yellow with embarrassment, but they couldn't seem to be able to stop. Then, after they finished, they sat back down and tried to hide their yellow faces.

Hermione and Lily turned towards James and Sirius. Sirius threw up his hands. "I know, I know. You want an explanation. We slipped a little something in their food this morning so that whenever someone says 'Gryffindors' they will start singing some of the most annoying songs of all time."

"But the best thing about it is," James joined in, "is that they can't stop till they say the secret phrase. But I bet you that most of them won't figure it out."

"Let me guess, it's something like 'Gryffindors rock' right?" Hermione guessed, remember something that Sirius mentioned to her once at Grimmauld Place.

"Close," Sirius said.

"It's 'Gryffindors kick Slytherin ass'," James said.

"Well even if they figure it out, most of them will refuse to say it," Lily said thoughtfully.

Both boys smiled. "Exactly."

But by lunch, none of the Slytherins had figured it out. The spell did have its' quirks though, both girls admitted. every time Professor Brinx would award Gryffindor points for Hermione's excellent work, the Slytherins would break out in song. They ranged from "Rubber Ducky" to "The Never Ending Song" to "Oops I did it again" to "99 Bottles of beer." They earned themselves about a weeks worth of detention just in Potions.

Everyone, except the Slytherins, thought this was one of the troublemakers' best pranks. This kind of made up for the whole 'mood-color-changing-face' prank that had a time limit.

But no one expected a third prank. No one that is except Hermione, Lily, and Lupin. But whether they expected it or not, it was going to happen before the day was over. And happen it did.

Hermione never thought that Sirius listened to her useless chatter, but he did. And now she regretted telling him so much about her life, especially of the stuff that concerned Fred and George. For right there, smack dab in front of the Great Hall, was a giant, muck filled swamp. A swamp that was knee deep at that and filled with normal, disgusting swamp stuff. But what more, Sirius took what he heard of Fred's and George's swamp and made it better.

Everyone gathered around the swamp, not willing to go through it. Finally a professor came out to see what was wrong. Unfortunately that professor was Professor Lamney (think Lockhart), the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

"Excuse me, excuse me. I said move!" He yelled, not looking where he was stepping and stepped right in the swamp. Everyone laughed around him as he struggle to get out of the swamp. "Hush up the lot of you," he said trying to straighten up his robes and hair as he finally climbed out. "Now, who is responsible for this?"

No one answered. Everyone looked at him with their hands over their mouths to hide their laughter. Not even the Slytherins said anything for fear they might break out in song again.

"No one huh? Well then, I guess I'll just have to get rid of this," he said raising his wand.

But what happened next made everyone burst out laughing. When Professor Lamney performed what he thought was the counter curse, a large gob of swamp muck flew in the air and hit him right in the face. "Right."

A/N: Whew! Got it done! I went for my interview today at KFC/Taco Bell. Did you know you have to take a test before they will interview you? I hope I get it, I need the money to go to London. I'M GOING TO LONDON! With my good buddy Kim that is. By the way Fox of the Nova, I've done the exact same thing! I've also came home from school one day and decided to take a nap. I got up around 7:00 and dumb me thinking it was 7:00 am in the morning ran around the house like a maniac. Finally my parents looked at me and said "What the hell are you doing?" It was 7 at night. I felt stupid.
