NEXT CHAPTER WILL BRING A NEW RELATIONSHIP.
Chapter 3: The Prank
"Ow!" Remus rasped as his head collided with the chest of a suit of armor.
"Shh you clumsy brat!" James hissed from the front. James, Sirius, and Remus were cramped under James' invisibility cloak heading for the Slytherin's common room. Remus shot James a dirty look. Sirius rolled his eyes and looked down at the Marauder's Map and saw the word Pureblood next to the bubble of himself. He quietly whispered the password to the hidden door in the wall by the dungeons and the three quietly crept inside.
"Okay, now everyone knows what they have to do?" Remus whispered. They all nodded.
"We have 25 minutes to do everything." Remus said.
Quietly and rapidly, they parted. James and Remus went to the seventh year's boy room while Sirius went to the seventh year girl's room.
James tiptoed to the boy's closet and slowly, gritting his teeth, cautiously opened the door. He jumped when the door gave a creak. He put his hand on his rapidly beating heart and calmed himself down with a few quiet slow breaths. He closed his eyes and steadied himself. After a few seconds he opened his eyes and glanced furtively around him and after making sure that all was well, he stepped inside the closet.
Once inside he let out all the breath he held while opening the door. He collapsed against the forest-green wall and steadied his nerves for a few minutes. Then he pulled out his wand with a flourish and silently deciphered the seventh's year's robes with the light given off by the Lumos spell. After he found them he whispered a spell and the robes turned into Gryffindor's colors. Chuckling slightly to himself and trying to choke his oncoming laughter, he quietly muttered "Binnia48." The spell Binnia was a spell that made the colors permanent. The number afterwards meant how many washings it would take to get the color off.
James then hung the robes back on the hangers and slowly steadied himself once more. He grasped the doorknob and praying that the door wouldn't creak again, opened the door a crack. He twisted his lithe body around the doorframe and once outside shut the door softly. He quickly walked across the carpet in his socks had a charm so they couldn't make noise. Once he reached the common room, he slid across the sofa whispering " who's good, who's good."
Meanwhile
Remus meanwhile, crept to the Slytherin's bathroom. Making sure that the green tiles weren't slippery he reached up and snatched the shampoo and conditioner bottles off the shelves. He unscrewed the tops of the bottles and muttered "Coloriagryfinndorcolors". Coloria made the user's hair change color. The words after made the color that. In this case, the colors would be maroon and gold. He however muttered an incantation so the Slytherins would believe that it was their regular shampoo.
After he muttered the same spell on the bars of soap that laid on stands of silver marble. His part was now done. He slid across the floor mimicking a rock star while strumming the strings of an imaginary guitar. He abruptly stopped when he reached the door, straightened his clothes and finished his act by bowing to an imaginary crowd. He gently opened the door and stuck his face out. His eyes darted around the room searching for any wandering stupid Slytherins. As soon as he was sure that the coast was clear of any scum, he crawled out and returned to the common room. He slapped high-fives with James who was impatiently sitting on the couch.
The three met back in the Slytherin common room. "Everything in place?" James asked in a hoarse whisper. The others nodded. Sirius had done whatever James' had done except with the girl's clothes. Then he placed a complicated charm sentence on them to make the robes change to a completely different outfit, when a spell was used to change the colors back.
The three boys unfolded the invisibility cloak and quickly returned to their common room as quickly as they went trying to stifle their upcoming laughter. As soon as they returned to their dormitory, the collapsed on their sofas and laughed until their stomach hurt.
Next Morning
The next morning dawned sunny and warm. The sun was shining brightly emphasizing the lush green lawn and sending rainbows off the smooth bodies of the statues. The birds were chirping and a slight breeze made the green leaves dance.
Rachel yawned, stretched her arms and climbed out of bed. Rubbing her eyes, she went over to the window and pulled back the curtains.
" What a gorgeous day" Rachel sighed. She opened the window and the slight breeze made her brown hair with light brown highlights glimmer in the sunshine.
"Urgh, shut the stupid window will you. I'm trying to sleep." Moaned Lily from her bed and shoved her pillow on her face to block rays emanating from the bright sphere in the sky.
Rachel signaled to Allison who had already woken up and pointed to Lily. They signaled quietly to one another and quietly approached her bed. They yanked the pillow from Lily who yelled and sat up to grab it back. However what met her was a bucketful of ice-cold water. That certainly woke Lily up! She let out a scream that would have made a banshee proud. Rachel and Allison fell on the floor laughing.
"Rachel" Arrgh!" screamed a now sopping and wide-awake Lily from her bed. Rachel took one look ate her friend and doubled up with laughter. Lily's shoulder length red hair was curly and frizzy. Now it was wet as well.
"It was the only way we could wake you up!" exclaimed Allison trying hard not to burst to laughter again. "You should've seen your face. It was worth it."
Lily shot them a nasty glare and them climbed out of bed. Her blue pajama bottoms covered with clouds were sopping and her white spaghetti strap had become transparent. Lily shot them another vicious glare and then snootily swept towards the bathroom.
Only a few feet away, the same thing was happening in the boys' dormitory.
At breakfastopened with the force of an atomic bomb open and the entire great hall shook. Students choked on their food or fell from the benches in shock. Seventh year Slytherins stormed into the room, looking murderous. The entire great hall looked at the Slytherins.
Lucius Malfoy Snape, Narcissa , Bellatrix Black, Crabbe, Goyle, and Parkinson were all dressed in their school uniforms. They weren't wearing silver or green; they were wearing red and gold. Their hair also maroon and gold highlights which twinkled in the light. Not only were their hair and robes decked out in Gryffindor colors, their skin had red and gold glitter on it.
"Nice addition Moony," James said trying to speak through his laughter.
The entire hall was in hysterics with people climbing on chairs to get better looks, and some on the floor beating the floor with mirth. One boy stood on top of the table and cracked up so hard he fell in a bowl of eggs and set it flying towards the slytherins. Not only were they dressed like gryffindors but now they were covered in eggs! If it was possible, the great hall laughed even harder.
McGonagall ran down from the staff table and toward the Slytherins. "Potter! Black! Lupin!" she yelled angrily, sparks shooting out of her wand. Her face was crimson and she was breathing heavily. She waved her wand at the slytherins but nothing changed.
"The color won't come off um professor. They have to wash their hair 48 times" Remus howled with laughter.
"Well, I can do something about the robes," she brandished her wand but the robes vanished. The laughter in the already chaotic room to increase several octaves. The slytherins quickly ran from the room yelling.
Students started applauding the Marauders. The Marauders got to their feet, stood on the table and took great sweeping bows.
"Ten points from Gryffindor each and detention all of you!" She shouted after she had changed the robes back to normal for the Slytherin's, although she could do nothing of the hair and skin color.
"Potter, I wish to see you and Evans in my classroom after breakfast" she irritably snapped.
In McGonagall's room
"Today is your first day as prefects" said James. "There are many responsibilities for you to adhere to. Your main job is to enforce Hogwarts' laws." " We are only here of something major happens."
"Yes" chimed Lily "Do not bother us unless it's very serious"
"Yeah," agreed James. "If it's not important, don't bother me and Evans, because as you know we head girl and head boy are very busy exploring." He raised his eyebrows suggestively at her.
The prefects laughed.
"Potter and I will not be 'busy,' so don't worry. If, you find any students making out or shagging you may give them detention without consulting us. "
"But if you catch me and Evans, we can overrule you," James smirked.
The prefects snickered once again and then filed out of the door.
" Lily, it's best if we meet back here at 8, so we can patrol." Suggested James. Lily reluctantly agreed.
Patrolling
Around 8 o'clock, Lily and James set to patrol Hogwarts. Lily was extremely moody and reluctant to be with James.
" Hey Lily" James tried making an effort "Look, I know you hate me but can't we put aside our differences for Head duties at least." "If we're gonna have to do this everyday maybe we should I dunno, be acquaintances at least. "
Lily was in thought for a few seconds and James critically watched her. He loved it when those lines appeared on her forehead! It made her look even cuter. Lily chewed her lip and then softly said " Alright James, but it should be appropriate."
The next hour was spent walking around the castle, talking and laughing with each other. Lily couldn't believe how much more comfortable she felt around him. She didn't really get to find out much about him as they talked mostly about Quidditch and other things but she truly felt as if she was getting to know the 'real' James and she liked that James a lot.
Now it was 11 and they were walking around the library, keeping their eyes alert for any student who might be bafflingly out of bed. They were about to leave when Lily saw a a silhouette of a person shining in the moonlight.
"Wait," she whispered to James.
"Who's that!" she called out.
"It's none of your business!" snapped a male voice.
James recognized that voice.
"Is that you, snivellus?" he asked.
"Oh, look!" he sneered, "It's Potty and the Mudblood!"
Lily's pace went white and tears sprang to her eyes. She never had gotten used to be calling that. She blinked rapidly so she wouldn't give snape the satisfaction that he had gotten to her.
James' face was contorted with fury. "How dare you call her that!" he yelled, pulling out his wand, "Apologise now!"
"I will not," Snape smirked.
"Oh, that's it! You asked for this!"
"Please, James!" cried Lily, "Don't do anything stupid!"
But he wasn't listening to her. He pointed his wand at his stomach and he flipped over. James levitated him 30 feet high and let him fall to the ground…on an abrasive surface. Snape stood up blood trickling from his stomach. His head was slowly forming a lump. He got up and scampered away like a rat.
"WHAT THE HELL" cried Lily, "WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU
THINKING?"
"um..i think I was little too harsh….stammered
James"
"A bit!" Lily yelled.
"I was defending you!"
he yelled.
"You attacked another student! You could have killed
him!"
"Nah!" he shrugged, "Old snivelly won't tell."
"I
don't care!" she shouted, "That was a stupid thing to do! Just
when I was starting to like you!
She pushed James out of the way
and stormed back to her dormitory. James scratched his head and
followed suit.
