Hey everyone! I trust you had a good week? Ok, more to the point – thanks to everyone who found the time to review! I was, as always, super, super happy! Especially because this wasn't the best week! And I did review responses again! Anyway, this next entry is back to our (or more my) favourite duo – Sirius and James! Enjoy! (I hope) It's mostly just a recount of their prank, because they are very excited about it!
Dear Pablo,
What a treat we have for you today!
This treat will be better than any Pumpkin Pastry, Coconut Ice or Sugar-Spun Quill you've ever had!
Ah, the suspense! Because we know you want to know what we know, Pablo.
Say that again?
You can just read it off the page, Padfoot.
That I can. But it's so much funner to make you write more.
But then my hand hurts!
Hurting hand? I know just the remedy for that!
You're not touching me with that... thing!
What? My wand?
I saw what you did to Madeleine Dill the other day with your... your stick!
What did I do, again? I can't seem to remember this event...
You gave her warts! Just because she sprayed you with ink!
Umm... Prongs, no offense, mate, but you're a little of the topic. And it was just an extra crusty skin layer, not warts.
Sure it was. So, what were we talking about?
You were about to tell Pablo of our achievement.
Ah yes - We did it!
Our dear Prongsie is correct, we pulled off our little prank!
Little? What is this 'little' you speak of? This, Pablo, my friend, turned out to be one of the biggest pranks EVER!
I was rather surprised, myself. It was a god idea –Don't you mean 'good'? Your spelling has never been your best quality, Padfoot, but surely 'good' isn't too hard for you!
You take me for a fool? And to think I thought you knew me! It was a godLIKE idea, if that's better for you Prongs, but who would of thought it would be so successful?
Not me! Especially coz it was originally Wormtail's idea...
After all these years, I never expected that old balloon idea of his to actually ever be used! And, in the case we resorted to it, a success at that!
Me neither... But onto the prank! It's dreadfully important, no, more like vital, that we record this.
It's not like we'd forget it anyway... but after we're gone, I suppose. Ok, you start.
No, you start.
Prongs, we're not six! Besides, I asked first!
You start. Or if you want Lily to start, that's fine. She had heaps to say on the subject! Did you ever notice how beautiful she is when she's raving mad? So, so gorgeous, like a goddess who has taken leave from her throne in the sky to -
Ok, Ok, I'll start! Well, I suppose the real beginning of this is two nights ago, when we had a "Prank Plan Night"-
I.E. we got heaps of food from the house elves –
Or more, Moony did, because they won't give anything to Prongs and me anymore after we set traps for them in our dorm...
It's weird that. I thought the traps were funny! Especially the "Turn Me Pink" one. Pink house elves are cute! And fashionable too!
If I knew how to spell the sound, I'd write a "Yeh sure" cough for you, Pablo. Unfortunately, I'm a hopeless speller, as Prongs so kindly pointed out, so you'll have to imagine it.
Well, anyway, we got the food and spent half the night planning our prank on Wormtail's bed.
I don't think he'll ever get some of the stains off... even with magic.
Moony told me he's hidden the sheets and a pillowcase behind that statue of the one-eyed witch because they had some, umm, strange marks on them and he was way too embarrassed to show them to anyone, especially if a girl ever walked into our dorm.
Poor Wormtail, you gotta feel sorry for him sometimes. He actually thinks a girl might see his bed someday. So after a night of planning –
And drinking.
Here's a tip for you Pablo: if you ever want to plan a REALLY good prank, firewhiskey helps you scheme. So we talked and ate until we had everything ready to go for the next day.
We always leave a day for preparing the prank. We brought the balloons from Hogsmeade and then looked up charms, etc. And then Voila! Everything was ready to go.
Now, the interesting bit of a prank begins. The Reaction.
Imagine this: You wake up, it's quite a nice morning and you get dressed quickly. You go to the bathroom to wash your face. As you look in the mirror you see something red floating above your head. It looks like a balloon. You rub your eyes, unsure of what you've seen. You look again, and there it is, a red balloon, floating above your head. You look up to confirm what you've seen. But nothing changes. There actually is a red balloon following you around.
You run into your dorm, quite distressed by the sudden appearance this balloon. You give a shout when you see that your dormmates have the same fate as you, though some of them have yellow balloons, as opposed to your red.
Your first thought is 'Gryffindors'!
And then, we would hope, it's '6th year boys!' or something of the like.
Well, that, at least, is how we imagine it would have been like for the Slytherins.
The Slimy Slytherins.
The Slippery, Slimy Slytherins.
The Sneaky, Slippery, Slimy Slytherins.
The Shocking, Sneaky, Slippery, Slimy Slytherins.
The Sinful, Shocking, Sneaky, Slippery, Slimy Slytherins.
The Sickening, Sinful, Shocking, Sneaky, Slippery, Slimy Slytherins.
The Sordid, Sickening, Sinful, Shocking, Sneaky, Slippery, Slimy Slytherins.
Ok, I think that's enough now Padfoot.
You just can't think of anymore! I win!
I can too! But we were meant to be recounting the prank...
Fine then. But I still win.
I think the funniest incident was at breakfast.
We could see that many Slytherins already had 2 or 3 balloons trailing after them, obviously they'd tried to pop theirs.
One had about 10, bunched together, flashing 'Slytherin Sucks'. They just never learn.
Of course, most of the older Slytherins looked straight at us, and started cursing us across the Great Hall.
Earning many of them detentions, I might add.
What surprised me though, was the little extra surprise James had added.
I'm a genius.
In this case, yes, you are. He, somehow, managed to make the balloons attack each other.
It doesn't sound as good as it was on paper. But, it's actually very disruptive to have a balloon fight above your head.
And you must remember, that they were all in great bunches, so it was like giant hippogriffs or something attacking each other in mid air.
And, this time, when a balloon popped, it sprayed the Slytherins with pumpkin juice.
Then, there was the usual random cursing, uproar of laughter and general chaos we always manage to provide.
And I suppose that's it.
That took a long time, much longer than I had expected.
Well, don't blame me.
I wasn't going to. So, we must make our good-byes, because Prongs won't let me touch his hand, and its going all swollen from all this writing we've been doing lately.
I will keep my farewell short. Goodbye.
I think that's the end of him.I think I'll end it before he gets time to go into Lils and her boyfriend. Well, au revoir, Pablo, old pal.
The Delightful Duo,
Padfoot and Prongs.
Sun Kissed Rose – You have a Hilary Duff blanket? He he he! That's funny! Well, If you happen to have some nachos on you, you can read this random HP fic while eating it! Let's hope so!
GatomonandKariFan – Glad to hear you're feeling better! In the case you do ever manage to 'rip it out of their hands and run to the Astronomy tower and read it' please, please, please return it, so they can write more!
TheSerpentAndTheLion – Stupid internet, it does random things sometimes. I was appreciative of your review, it raised some interesting points. I think the thing with James is, Lily doesn't want to be 'wooed', as you put it, by him, so he is constantly being turned down by her (because she thinks he's egotistical, annoying, or whatever). And, because he is confident, or arrogant, it's a bit of a mystery to him and therefore he continuously brings it up, especially around his best friends. I don't know... something along those lines. Anyway, I'm hoping to read more of your story soon! And I'll try to stay on the face of the Earth!evenstar of the undyinglands – Your review was interesting! 'Crazy like a monkey like a fox' aye? I'm not sure what you mean, but thanks!
Unblemished Lamb – Pablo is Spanish, I think. By the way, to make you feel special, I bolded your name for you! Enjoy!
Kayhera – Yay! You think my characters are in character. Ok, that sounded really weird. But THANKYOU! I'm glad you liked Wormtail, I've actually tried to include him a bit, because so many people just leave him out completely and it's a bit annoying.
blue3ski – Prongsie has forgotton his little shock with news of his prank. However, next entry, we'll get a lot more about his reaction to Lily's boyfriend.
ReginaLucifer – My tent needed a name, it's a very special, orange tent. And thank you for loving my story! I love it when people love my story!
MAndrews – Continuing! I hope you enjoyed this! And I plan to continue even more!
Reaka – Thank you for reading!
Ookami Aya – We'll hear what James thinks of her boyfriend next installment! Perhaps include some more lovers talk and include Moony as well, I think. Don't worry, I don't plan to turn this into a OC/Remus fic at all. That would be weird. Mweha.
des – Thank you for reading! More has arrived!
ShOrTnSwEeT9013 – Laughing out loud is good for you, I don't know why you mum (or 'mom'. he he he! I find the word mom incredibly funny!) thought you were crazy! Maybe you are? I don't know... now I'm just confused.
Paintedsecrets – I couldn't live with the guilt of killing you! Please refrain from eating cookies while reading humorous material!
Fairy-Dust 888 – Amazingly, I just wrote this fic to entertain myself and, hopefully, others. So it is very satisfying when someone says I'm a good writer! Thank you!
Lauren – I think it's fine to laugh in the library! Although, I suppose others don't... well, if you read this in the library... just do whatever... ok... so I suck at giving advice. Thanks for reading!
Gaby-Black – hey! Thanks for reading my story! I enjoyed yours!
