The Chicken Dance
"I can't believe Hethro assigned us so much homework," Holly said to Sirius as they sat down at lunch in the Great Hall.
"I know, three pages of questions and we have to memorize that stupid potion," Sirius muttered, taking a seat by James.
"Well, you only have to memorize the potion because you turned Snape's hair green while we were studying it," Holly interjected.
"Oh yeah," Sirius said with a smile on his face, "That was great wasn't it? Anyway, maybe we could work on the questions together sometime?" he added trying not to sound too hopeful.
"Oh," Holly replied uncomfortably, "I already promised George that I would work on it with him later in the library, but you can come too if you'd like."
"No," Sirius said quickly, "I mean, I just thought you might like to work on it, but if you've already got plans it's fine."
"You're welcome to come along," Holly suggested eagerly.
"Nah," Sirius said shrugging it off, "I'll just stay around the common room and help Peter on it. He needs all the help he can get," Holly smiled and turned to talk to Lily.
"Since when do you do homework, mate?" James asked Sirius sniggering.
Sirius glared at his friend, "Since when did you turn into a goody-goody?"
"Oh you two," Remus said as James opened up his mouth to reply, "Just call it even for once. You've both got a fair good point."
"I'm not a goody-goody," James muttered.
"Oy," Sirius asked, "When was the last time you pranked anyone or got Snape?"
"I'm Head Boy," James murmured, "Evans would murder me."
"Moony doesn't care," Sirius pointed out, "He's been pranking people all along, even when he was a perfect."
"I beg the differ," Remus muttered.
"Well, how many times have you gotten anyone this year?" James challenged Sirius.
"I turned Snape's hair green only an hour ago, in potions," Sirius said proudly.
"Oh that's a great one," James said sarcastically, "I like your originality, especially since we've only done it to him a million times before."
"Not to mention the time last year when you put a charm on the door into the Christmas Ball," Remus said, "And everyone's hair changed a different color."
"I'd forgotten that," James said laughing, "That was a great one, wasn't it?"
"Yeah, only got a week's worth of detentions too," Sirius said happily, "Almost a record low for pranking the whole school."
"It might've helped that you two had to change them all back," Remus chipped in.
"Yeah, but still, I'll never forget the look on Evans face," James said laughing, "And Diggory, I must admit, the couple was cuter than ever with matching bright pink hair."
Sirius and James almost toppled over with laughter as they went through some people's hair colors that day. Diggory definitely had first place with pink, but Snape was close behind, baby blue.
"And Malfoy—" Sirius said almost unable to speak he was laughing so hard, "Malfoy had—he had—" Sirius completely lost it.
"Lavender," James choked out as he wiped tears spilling out of his eyes.
"You guys could have warned Peter and I, at least," Remus said trying not to laugh, but failing miserably, "Green for me and Purple for Peter."
"It's too—it's too much," Sirius said gasping for breath, "And Dumbledore's beard…"
"He did that himself," James said holding his stomach, "Wish we could've figured out how to make it multi-colored…"
"Orange," Remus said now laughing almost as hard as the other two, "I still dream about McGonagall with orange hair and her face so red…"
"Clashed horribly," Sirius said as he too wiped the tears streaming from his eyes.
"Did we miss something or are you guys truly going mad?" Lily asked looked at the three boys who all were overcome with laughter.
"Last year's Christmas Ball," James managed to say, "You looked great with pink hair, Evans."
Sirius absolutely died as he looked at Lily's face, "That wasn't funny, Potter! That was a horrible trick! Everyone had worked so hard in getting ready and you two ruined it all," she said shrilly.
"I must ask you Evans," Sirius said winking at Lily, "I thought Diggory was showing his true colors that night. I liked it A LOT," Sirius and James completely lost it.
"I've still got the pictures," James squeaked out waving his arms around in the air. He was laughing so hard, no one could understand what he said next.
"You mean the picture of Amos with pink hair that you two made into posters for the quidditch cup last year?" Lily asked angrily.
"Those would be the ones," Sirius said between laughs, "Everybody in the stands had one of those…"
"I did not have one on," Lily stammered.
"Truthfully, Lily," Holly said smiling, "James did tape the one on your back."
"Well, I would have had it off in a flash if he hadn't of put a permanent sticking charm on there," Lily snapped.
"Oh come off it Evans," James said howling, "It was only a little joke."
Lily looked thoughtfully at James, "I must admit, you guys did a pretty good job on Snape," she added giggling, "And McGonagall…"
The entire group all busted out with laughter. People began to stare and wonder for their sanity, but they couldn't stop laughing. The prank of the Christmas Ball was a true classic.
"Chloe dear," Remus said to the quiet blonde next to him, "Are you feeling alright?"
"Of course I am," Chloe replied, "You always worry about me so much."
"I'm your boyfriend," Remus pointed out, "I'm supposed to be worried."
"Speaking of being my boyfriend," Chloe said slyly, "We'll have been together a year on Halloween. You did remember, didn't you?"
"How could I forget? It's not easy to be tortured by you for so long."
"Remus Lupin, maybe I should torture you," Chloe said wrapping her arms around him and wriggling onto his lap.
Remus checked the dormitory to make sure that the room was, in fact, empty. James and Sirius shouldn't be back from quidditch for another hour and Peter was with them. The couple was alone.
"You know I love you disciplinary rules," Remus said drawing his lips close to Chloe's, "Maybe I should be bad more often."
Chloe giggled, "I'm not complaining," she said locking her lips with his in a very passionate kiss.
"Bloody Hell!" Sirius yelled from the door only a few minutes later, "And I thought I was the only one to get caught snogging on the bed."
"My bed to be exact," James comment dryly as Sirius started doing some sort of victory dance, "Sorry about that mate."
Remus sighed and pulled Chloe off of him. It was only Sirius or James who were ever caught snogging in their dormitory. And even with them, it rarely happened. Chloe got up and hurried out of the room, her face blushing furiously.
"What are you leaving for? Things were just starting to get interesting," Sirius said wriggling his body.
"Shut up Padfoot," Remus muttered, "And stop doing that flipping dance."
"Oh this isn't just any dance," Sirius added in his huskiest voice, "This is a dance of love."
"Ah hell no," James said doing the robot, "This is one bloody dance of love."
"Personally, I like the electric slide," Peter piped in, adding the dance.
"Do a little dance," Sirius said moving in ways Remus didn't know he was capable of, "Make a little love, Get down tonight—"
"Uh-huh, Uh-huh, Get down tonight," James joined in.
"Idiots," Remus muttered, "I'm surrounded by complete idiots."
"Now onto the on about the chicken," Sirius yelled, "I don't wanna be a chicken, I don't wanna be a duck, I just wanna shake my butt!"
"DO DO DO DO," James screamed doing the actions along with Sirius.
"So did the guys give you a hard time about last night?" Chloe asked Remus the next morning at breakfast.
"No," Remus said smiling, "Although I did have to listen to James and Sirius' singing. They didn't stop until they'd sung all 100 verses of the chicken song…personally I think they made some up from the sounds of it."
"Aw, poor baby," Chloe said kissing Remus on the cheek, "But what's the chicken dance?"
"Some muggle thing they got into a few summers ago," Remus said shrugging, "Believe me, you're better off not hearing it."
"No Madame," Sirius said in an accent, "I assure you my zinging iz quite beautiful," he grabbed her hand and continued, "I vill zing for you anytime," Sirius brushed her hand with his lips.
"Oy, mate," Remus said pulling Chloe's hand away from Sirius, "She doesn't want to hear you sing."
"Oh?" Sirius challenged, "And I suppose she wants to hear you sing."
"I'm not singing any—" Remus started, but James flicked his wand and Remus broke out into a cheesy love song.
Sirius almost doubled over with laughter, but James wasn't going to let his best mate off the hook that easily. Another flick of his wand did the job. Sirius began to 'zing' in a women's opera voice. James got a picture of the look of horror and confusion on his face. As the two started a song together, the entire Great Hall was rolling on the floor. Finally, whether out of courtesy to the boys or in order to save his eardrums, Dumbledore removed the charm.
"Nice charm Potter," Lily said trying to put on a strait face, "I'm surprised, you suck at charms," James couldn't reply he was laughing so hard.
"Just you wait, Prongs," Sirius muttered, "I'll get you for this. Nobody, nobody, pranks Sirius Black and gets away with it. And paybacks are double."
"Watch where your saying that Black," McGonagall said coming up from behind Sirius, who almost jumped ten feet into the air, "Now then, Potter, the joke was harmless, so no punishments."
"No punishments!" Sirius howled, "I got a week of detention last week for doing absolutely nothing."
"I believe," McGonagall cut in, "That you exploded treacle tart in Lucius Malfoy's face."
"Like I said absolutely nothing!"
"Yes, well, you've got another week's detention for turning Snape's hair green during potions," McGonagall said frowning.
"And he gets nothing?" Sirius said pointing to James.
"Dumbledore thought the joke was amusing and harmless," McGonagall said as if that ended the matter.
"I thought blowing up treacle tart in Malfoy's face, and turning Snape's hair green was harmless!" Sirius wailed. McGonagall only shook her head and winked at James before heading back up to the teachers' table.
Sirius continued to annoy James throughout Herbology about his prank.
"Padfoot, mate, I don't know what you're crying about," James pointed out, "You're the one who said I needed to prank someone."
"Yes, but I didn't mean me," Sirius hissed.
"Sirius shut-up," Remus said trying to calm his bullexoum plant that was snapping it's jaws frantically in the air, "There are bigger and better things to think about."
Sirius' eyes lit up, "Like pranking the whole school! Moony, you're a genius," then turning to James he added, "You will do it, won't you? Or are you too much of a goody—"
"Of course I will," James said grinning, cutting Sirius off.
Sirius beamed at James as if he had somehow accomplished a great deed. Remus murmured, "Great, what have I done? Now we're all in for it…"
"Moony?" Sirius said looking at him expectantly, "You in on it or not?"
Remus sighed, looking at his two best friends. How could he say no to those two smiling faces? "Okay, I'm in."
"YES!" Sirius yelled, ramming his hand into a bowl of sharp thorns, "I'll be damned to hell!"
A/N: Okay, hoped you liked it. I know that was a flimsy bit of romance, but don't worry, more is coming up later. Did you guys think the pranks were funny? I'm on of those people who laugh at everything, so I don't really know what might be funny to guys and what isn't. Anyway, just review and give me some advice and I'll be happy!
