Thanks again to all my lovely reviewers!

I have been away on holiday, so I am sorry for the delay!

Also, the Writer's block is back, so do not expect this to be my best chapter, but I shall try my best!

WARNING – THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS MILD SWEARING AND BAD MENTAL IMAGES!!! (My friends have rubbed off on me I'm afraid. Don't worry, the images are funny, but can make you shudder...)

Disclaimer – I own nothing but the plot. Anything else belongs to others. Harry Potter and all related characters to J.K. Rowling, and the songs to their owners.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minerva McGonagall, Professor Of Transfiguration, Head of Gryffindor House and Deputy Headmistress of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was sitting eating, occasionally talking to Albus or glancing around at the students, especially Potter and Black.

As much as she loved her Grandson, she was one of the few specific targets of his pranks, and many a night, she had him cleaning something around the school.

Why cleaning? Well, Minerva knew that James hated cleaning, and any time that he pranked her, that would be his punishment.

Only last night he had been cleaning her room up, sorting her extensive files from A-Z. Unfortunately, he only got to L, so she would have to do it herself.

How wrong she was.

Suddenly, an influx of boys ran towards her, all trying to grab her attention.

Albus himself looked confused.

She noticed that every boy in the school, bar the Marauders, was declaring their love to her, or asking them to marry her. Some even tried to climb over the table, causing her to slowly back herself into Teachers' chamber.

She quickly locked the door, which was lucky, as there were hundreds of poundings on it, all threatening to knock the door down.

She was going to make James serve detention for this from now until Christmas.

Her planning was disturbed by a shout of "WE LOVE MINNIE!"

OK...from now until the end of the year.

Suddenly the banging stopped, and she could here the boys running away in embarrassment.

She came out of the room bright red, and didn't even take back her eat, but stormed up to where James and Sirius were laughing.

Remus was trying to signal for them to stop.

"Moony, relax, she will cool down in a minute. Anyway, that has to be the best prank I have ever pulled."

Remus was still signalling.

"Moony, relax, you didn't even do anything. Anyway, she doesn't know it was me. She knows I am resistant to things like that. She loved it I'm sure."

Moony started squeaking.

"Moony, stop squeaking, and what are you looking at?"

He turned around and immediately stopped laughing.

Minerva was absolutely seething.

"JAMES POTTER! DETENTION FOR 5 WEEKS AND 100 POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR!" She shouted at him.

She really did want to put him in detention for the rest of the year, but Albus would have cut it down.

The Gryffindors glared at James, especially those affected by the prank.

Harry was in hysterics.

That had to be one of the funniest pranks he had ever seen, especially the last part where his dad had been talking about it and his Grandmother was right behind him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Harry was brought out of his dream/viewing by Lily, who flew in the open window, accompanied by another Phoenix.

"Lily, who is this?" He asked curiously, and with good reason.

The Phoenix that was with her with as black as night, gold and silver lightning bolts were displayed down it'd back, and it's piercing blue eyes just like his Grandfather's, only added to it's beauty.

"This is Firon, (pronounced Fe-ron) I met him whenever I was hunting in the forest. He has been there for many years, waiting for a new Master, and I thought..."

"That maybe he would like me." Harry completed.

"Yes. Also, he would be good company for me, and I'm sure dad would like someone else to talk to." Lily added.

"Hi Firon. I am Lily's Master, Harry. She said you were looking for a new Master?" Harry asked Firon.

"Hello, my Lord Gryffindor." Firon chirped, bowing to Harry in respect.

"Just call me Harry. My Lord Gryffindor is way too formal for me."

"OK, Harry. Yes, I am looking for a new Master, and Lily said that you may be able to care for me?"

"Well, yeah. I mean, I never really see Lily much, as she talks to her father so much, so maybe it would be good for all of us if you wanted to join us."

"I would find that well." Firon chirped.

Harry smiled at his new Phoenix.

"So, who was your old Master?" Harry asked, interested.

"His name was Godric Gryffindor. He told me that once he passed away, I should wait in the forest, for a new Master. You look so much like him."

"Well, as you said before, I am Lord Gryffindor."

"True."

Lily soon joined in and they talked until time for breakfast came around, where they decided to join him.

Harry silently laughed as he appeared in the Great Hall, a Phoenix on each shoulder.

He sat down, and noticed to his shock, that the Hall was empty.

'I've never been the first one here before.' Harry chuckled to himself.

He poured himself some tea, avoiding food, as his stomach was still a little tender.

Soon, Albus and Minerva walked in talking.

"I'm telling you, Minerva, he just vanished."

"Albus, maybe he just woke up."

"Perhaps, but...Harry! What happened? And why is there another Phoenix on your shoulder?" Albus asked, walking over and sitting next to him, Minerva rolling her eyes before joining them.

Harry finished his tea and launched into an explanation of what he had seen.

Minerva lightly hit her husband on the back of the head.

"Albus, what have I told you before?" She asked sternly.

"I'm sorry, Minerva. Anyway, who is this?" He asked, stroking Firon.

"Well, this is Firon. Lily brought him to me last night, and he let me keep him. He was Godric's."

Minerva was staring at the bird.

"Harry, that is a Lightning Phoenix. They were thought to be extinct." She said, still awed at the Phoenix.

"I never knew that." Harry admitted.

"Well, you know now." Albus chuckled, causing Harry to roll his eyes.

"Captain Obvious." He muttered under his breath.

Minerva caught this and laughed.

"Anyway Harry, I believe we should sit at our normal places, because I have the feeling that the rest of the school may be suspicious if we are all sitting together...at Gryffindor table."

Harry smiled and waved them goodbye, secretly going over the final details for the latest Marauder prank, which would take place at breakfast.

He sent Lily and Firon up to Albus' Office before the crowds came in, and soon enough the students had soon all arrived, including the rest of the Marauders.

Harry grinned as they finished their plans. They were going to have a practice in the Hall, for the Ball, and they were going to incorporate a prank into it at the same time.

Suddenly, a guitar, a bass guitar, a drum kit, a keyboard and a saxophone were conjured up at the front of the Hall, much to the confusion of the occupants, well, at least until the four went over.

They had practiced for this inside Harry's trunk, and to be honest, it was all Harry could do not to burst out laughing at what they had planned.

Harry waved his hand, casting the appropriate people ready for their prank, and Harry cast a Sonorous Charm on himself.

"Hi everybody. We are going to play a little music for you today, but all will be explained in a few minutes, after you see. Now, we have a few songs coming up, with the singing talents of some of the people in this room, so, we'll start with a song called 'Hey Mickey.' Take it away Ron."

Ron grinned as Ron started his drum solo.

Suddenly, the female teachers got up, now wearing matching pink cheerleading outfits, complete with Pom Poms, and started clapping and singing.

"Oh Mickey, you're so fine
You're so fine, you blow my mind, hey Mickey, hey Mickey."

The other instruments now joined in.

"Oh Mickey, you're so fine
You're so fine, you blow my mind, hey Mickey, hey Mickey
Oh Mickey, you're so fine
You're so fine, you blow my mind, hey Mickey..."

The students and male teachers roared in laughter, especially as the solo started, and Minerva jumped out and started singing, including an especially funny, but admittedly good, dance. The others female teachers started dancing as backing dancers.

"Hey Mickey.

You've been around all night and that's a little long
You think you've got the right but I think you've got it wrong
Why can't we say goodnight? So you can take me home, Mickey

Cause when you say you will, it always means you won't
You're givin' me the chills, baby, please baby don't
Every night you still leave me all alone, Mickey."

At this point, Minerva grabbed Albus, who was laughing like there was no tomorrow, and pulled him up to dance, and with a wink at the students, he enthusiastically danced with her, causing the students to laugh even more, especially at the way the Headmaster handled the situation.

Minerva continued singing.

"Oh Mickey, what a pity, you don't understand
You take me by the heart when you take me by the hand
Oh Mickey, you're so pretty, can't you understand
It's guys like you, Mickey
Ooh what you do Mickey, do Mickey
Don't break my heart, Mickey.

Hey Mickey

Now when you take me by the... who's... ever gonna know
Every time you move I let a little more show."

There were a few whistles as Minerva danced a little closer to Albus, and lifted her skirt up a bit.

"There's something you can use, so don't say no, Mickey.

So come on and give it to me anyway you can."

Even more catcalls and wolf whistles came as she sang that line.

"Anyway you want to do it, I'll take it like a man
Oh please baby, please don't leave me in this jam Mickey."

"Oh Mickey, what a pity, you don't understand
You take me by the heart when you take me by the hand
Oh Mickey, you're so pretty, can't you understand
It's guys like you, Mickey
Ooh what you do Mickey, do Mickey
Don't break my heart, Mickey."

The other female teachers joined in again.

"Oh Mickey, you're so fine
You're so fine, you blow my mind, hey Mickey, hey Mickey
Oh Mickey, you're so fine
You're so fine, you blow my mind, hey Mickey, hey Mickey
Oh Mickey, you're so fine
You're so fine, you blow my mind, hey Mickey..."

Minerva started a solo again, slowly fading out.

"Oh Mickey, what a pity, you don't understand
You take me by the heart when you take me by the hand
Oh Mickey, you're so pretty, can't you understand
It's guys like you, Mickey
Ooh what you do Mickey, do Mickey
Don't break my heart, Mickey

Oh Mickey, what a pity, you don't understand
You take me by the heart when you take me by the hand
Oh Mickey, you're so pretty, can't you understand
It's guys like you, Mickey
Ooh what you do Mickey, do Mickey
Don't break my heart, Mickey

Oh Mickey, what a pity, you don't understand
You take me by the heart when you take me by the hand
Oh Mickey, you're so pretty, can't you understand
It's guys like you, Mickey
Ooh what you do Mickey, do Mickey
Don't break my heart, Mickey."

The teachers struck a pose at the end, and laughs, cheers and claps filled the Hall.

They all sat back down again, still in their Cheerleader uniforms, well apart from Albus of course.

Harry cast a Sonorous on himself again.

"Thank you, thank you. Now, you're probably wondering why they aren't shouting at us right now?"

There were murmurs of agreement.

"Well, we set it so that they wouldn't actually come out of this state for a time, so we can run away after."

There were laughs at this.

"Now, next we have another classic song. Hermione, you take the sax, as we don't need bass here. Anyway, this song is called 'Mustang Sally."

Harry grinned and suddenly, Albus, Snape, Hagrid and Flitwick were all standing on the stage, dressed in different coloured suits and sunglasses. (Albus had red, Snape had green, Flitwick had blue and Hagrid had yellow.)

The music started, and the four started a rhythmic dance movement, joined by some of the female teachers.

"Mustang Sally

Guess you better slow that Mustang down

Mustang Sally, now baby

Guess you better slow that Mustang down

You've been running all over town

Ooh, I guess you gotta put your flat feet on the ground

Sing it, too long time, girls."

At this point, Albus and Snape started dancing closely with their partners, Minerva and Rolanda Hooch respectively. Actually, close wasn't actually the right word, but I think that your mind can get the idea.

The students gaped.

"All you wanna do is ride around Sally (ride, Sally, ride)

All you wanna do is ride around Sally (ride, Sally, ride)

All you wanna do is ride around Sally (ride, Sally, ride)

All you wanna do is ride around Sally (ride, Sally, ride), tell you

One of these early mornings

I'm gonna be wiping those weeping eyes, yeah, alright

I bought you a brand new Mustang (ride)

It was a nineteen sixty five

Now you come around, big fine woman

Girl, you won't, you won't let me ride

Mustang Sally, now baby (Sally, now baby)

Guess you better slow that Mustang down (down), alright

You've been running all over town

Oh, I guess you gotta put your flat feet on the ground

Oh yeah, baby, you gotta put your flat feet

All you wanna do is ride around Sally (ride, Sally, ride)

All you wanna do is ride around Sally (ride, Sally, ride)

All you wanna do is ride around Sally (ride, Sally, ride), ah yeah

All you wanna do is ride around Sally (ride, Sally, ride)

One of these early mornings

I'm gonna be wiping those weeping eyes, yeah

Oh yeah, baby, come on, boys

Those weeping eyes, oh yeah, babe (Sally)

Those weeping eyes (Sally), yeah hey, yeah

Those weeping eyes (Sally), yeah yeah (Sally)

Oh, those weeping eyes (Sally)

Those weeping eyes (Sally), those weeping eyes (Sally)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, hey yeah

The song finished and the whole Hall cheered again. Seeing the couples dance like that was definitely something that was something unexpected, even though they were spelled to be like that, you never knew...

Once again, Harry waited until they had calmed down before speaking again.

"Now, I hope you enjoyed your teachers dancing like that."

A cheer rang up, as well as a couple of shudders.

"For those who shuddered, which I know all of you want to, I do actually agree with that, and I know that my mind is now poisoned...Anyway, that will be available to buy. Now, for the last song today, we are going to sing a song ourselves. We encourage you to dance with people from other Houses, because we really do need to join together and put our differences aside. Now, enough with the doom and gloom, and we shall sing a song called 'What if God was one of us?'"

Harry nodded to the others and they began. Harry cleared a space at the front of the Hall for those who wanted to dance, and Hermione started to sing.

"If God had a name, what would it be
And would you call it to his face
If you were faced with him in all his glory
What would you ask if you had just one question?"

Harry was pleased to see a lot of Inter-House dancing. Neville was dancing with Luna, and even Draco Malfoy was dancing Lavender Brown, shocking Harry, but then again, that was an improvement.

For the first time Harry could remember, everyone was up dancing, even the teachers, and no one cared what House another was in.

"And yeah yeah God is great yeah yeah God is good
yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home

If God had a face what would it look like
And would you want to see
If seeing meant that you would have to believe
In things like heaven and in Jesus and the saints and all the prophets

And yeah yeah God is great yeah yeah God is good
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
He's trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the pope maybe in Rome.

And yeah yeah God is great yeah yeah God is good
yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah

What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
Just trying to make his way home
Like a holy rolling stone
Back up to heaven all alone
Just trying to make his way home
Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the Pope maybe in Rome."

With that last note, they finished, and the roar of clapping and cheers shook the Castle to the core.

The four smiled and bowed.

"Everyone, thanks for listening, and I hope that maybe this one thing has helped some House Rivalries. You know, once Godric and Salazar were Best Friends, and they probably still are. The bad Slytherin was really his son, Salazar. The Founders didn't have any problems with each other. It's just bad History. So perhaps we can change it, and join together, for if not, Hogwarts will collapse from within. Now, we are going to split, because the spell is waring off. I pity those in Transfiguration right now, especially as the Cheerleading Outfit won't come off for a day or two. Let me ask, who is in Transfiguration now?"

Hermione coughed.

"That would be us, Harry."

"Bugger." Harry said.

"OK, it's apparently 6th Year Slytherins and Gryffindors, whoever got into that class..."

"HARRY JAMES POTTER!" Minerva's enraged shout cut him off.

Harry flinched.

"Yes, Professor?"

"Detention. Marauders. 3 weeks. Files." She managed to get out before storming off to Transfiguration, no doubt trying to find the reverse for the spell.

The bell then rang.

"This isn't going to be a good lesson, is it?" Harry sighed.

His friends just shook their heads, but Ginny just smirked at them and ran to Charms, her first class of the day.
