Hi! I finally updated! Sorry for the wait every one! I can't even say I've been busy… Just had no inspiration to write. So this chapter/entry is a bit crappy… I just wanted to get something out! I feel bad leaving it this long…
By the way, did anybody know Regulus, as in Sirius's younger brother, is the 'heart of the lion'? The star, Regulus, was also named Cor Leonis, which literally means 'heart of the lion'… I find that weird… because lion is like Gryffindor, right?. Anybody else?
Oh, and as always: I LOVE YOU GUYS! You rock SO MUCH! Reviewing is the ultimate invention ever!
And Merry Christmas to all!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it working?
I dunno, check.
Oh Gawd, you have got to see this!
It's working?
This is SO weird!
So it's working?
Wow…
Oh my God, he's working!
He?
It's still Pablo, isn't it?
I suppose…
Oh no! We forgot to put 'Dear Pablo' at the top!
The world is going to end, Prongs! What are we going to do? And HOW on earth does he know punctuation? Did you put that in?
Umm… Well, maybe.
Impressive.
Lily was saying how much she –
Let me guess – admired proper grammar or something of the like?
Yeh…
Well, that explains it then.
Do you reckon Pablo knows what's going on?
Of course he does, it's happening to him right?
I dunno. Maybe we should tell him.
If we must, Prongs. Ok, Pablo, Prongs and I - hey! I said 'Prongs and me'! It corrected me…. And just then… wow, this is a good charm, mate! So, Prongs and I don't like writing that much.
We do enough of it in classes.
And with homework and all that... So we thought, why not charm Pablo to record what we say on his pages.
Padfoot was against it at first.
Was not!
Was too! You teased me about having weak hands! As if the star Gryffindor Chaser has 'weak hands'!
Muh ha ha. Maybe he does…
I will not react, I will not react.
You already have.
This is all being recorded, Padfoot! Remember that.
Oh yeh… I will shut up now.
Anyway, the real reason we wanted you to record stuff was Padfoot here wanted to do a report of our prank against the evil side of Hogwarts –
I.E Slytherin, if you couldn't guess.
- like a… what was it again?
T.V interview. It's a muggle thing.
Why do you take muggle studies, again? It's so uncharacteristic.
Why is it uncharacteristic?
Well, it's boring. None of us do it. There's no one particularly good-looking in the class. It adds extra homework to your daily schedule –
Ok, ok, I get the point. I only do it because it annoys the hell out of my family. Quoting muggle facts to them… You have GOT to see that one-day, Prongs.
You are confusing.
Can we start my show?
Yes, we can start our show.
We're on air in 3… 2… 1…
What?
Just start.
Okay, I'm the interviewer, right?
YES! Do you need help or something?
No, I'm fine –
THEN START!
Umm… I have with me today the well renowned pranker, Padfoot, who has kindly agreed to share with us the genius behind Slytherin's recent mortification. He and his crew of talented friends have managed to outsmart the scheming snakes yet again. But the question we all want to ask is, how? How do they come up, again and again with fabulous ideas? How do they pull them off? While we have been reminded this is top secret, Padfoot has agreed to share a little of his knowledge with our viewing audience. Let's start with your most recent prank. Would you kindly recap this event for those few who haven't heard about it already, Padfoot?
Of course, Prongs. Feel free to add in any extra details you remember. I suppose, when it all comes down to it, we, and by we I mean my fellow Marauders and myself, started the war. We pranked the Slytherins a few weeks ago and they were obliged to prank us back. Now, what they did back really was shameful.
I'll say! It hurt my pride. Are we really at the same level as them, Padfoot? ARE WE?
Of course we're not. That's why we outdid them one billion times afterward. Calm down, Prongs.
Ah yes. Please continue.
Well, we spent a while brain-storming for this one. It had to be perfect, flawless. Eventually, after hours of deliberating and kilos of kitchen snacks, we came up with a master idea. It was going to be arduous, most likely difficult and we were going to have to resort to the library at some point, a thought that rendered Prongs and me speechless.
Hey! We're not that against books!
It's what the public wants, mate.
There IS no public, but…
T.V. show equals Public.
You are strange.
And proud of it.
Back to the original purpose. You are the one who wanted to do this, Padfoot. So get on with it.
Where was I?
Read it.
Ah yes. So Prongsie and I, although dreading the thought of the library, were terribly excited to get the prank on it's way so we took the liberty of forcing Wormtail and Moony out of their beds at, what was described as, 'an ungodly hour', to get everything planned.
And we planned it well. So well, Moony figured there was only about a 1 chance that it would go astray.
Who's telling this story?
I was there! I can add stuff! You said!
I changed my mind.
Well, you're taking too long.
Being a celebrity is an artwork. I have to take my time.
Great. We'll be here for hours.
Never fear, dear Prongs. I'm sure one day you too will reach the stage I am at in my career. Though there are hard years ahead of you. The road to fame is not an easy one and must not be taken lightly –
You are such a bullshit artist.
You're just jealous. Now, cease these interruptions and let me continue. Thank you. So we spent hours planning blah blah blah etc. But you're all waiting for the prank. What were we planning? What did such geniuses come up with? What –
Just tell them already.
We charmed the Slytherin's wands to swear at them. Is that good enough for you, Prongs?
Well, a little more detail would be nice. You know, elaborate a bit, try and explain to our people some of the ingenuity of the prank.
First it's faster now it's slower… I can never please you!
Well Sor-ry.
Apology accepted. But I was going to do all that anyway. So I will. Right now. As soon as I finish delaying the inevitable. Well, as I said, we charmed the Slytherin's wands to swear at them and insult them. Basically whenever they tried to use it and, in the case they just stopped using it, at random intervals.
While there was the usual swear words and phrases such as "Slytherin's Stupid!", we also added some more personal touches.
Snape's wand, for example, yelled out "I belong to a greasy-haired git!" and "Watch out! Dark Arts tool coming through!".
I think there was also "I love Gryffindor!" on most peoples.
Gotta have a bit of house pride.
Snape's had heaps more though, didn't it?
Yeh… I can't remember them now. There was 'ugly git' and 'idiot' and all that… but most peoples had them.
Oh well. Basically, in Charms with the Slytherins, nearly all of them got either a detention for cheeking the teacher or send away for wand repair.
There was anger in the air that day, lots of anger.
But it was perfect. Simply perfect.
Couldn't have gone better. Not only did we get a chance to show up Snape, we humiliated the entire Slytherin house, had great fun and got a party thrown for us. Fantastic.
Wait, this is an interview still, right?
Oh yeh. I forgot. Well, let's finish it up.
Is that all you have for us today, Padfoot?
I'm afraid I can't let you too deep into my secrets, so yes, I better stop now before anybody foul gets a hold of our methods.
Thank you very much for sparing the time to talk to us. It's been a delight.
Believe me, the pleasure's all mine.
You just love the attention.
I suppose the interview has finished then.
I hope so. I hate it when you make me act lesser than you.
I didn't make you.
Cough
You didn't want to be the celebrity.
Correction. I didn't want to be anybody.
It was fun though, wasn't it?
Somewhat.
See! You just don't want to admit Muggle Studies is useful!
I have nothing against Muggle Studies! I never did!
Oh yeh, sure. I believe you. How come you don't do it then.
Because… I don't want to.
Because you hate muggles!
Please, Padfoot, I think you're mixing me up with Regulus.
I would never do that to you, Prongsie! If you were Regulus, I wouldn't be talking to you, would I?
I guess not. Still, I don't hate muggles. I am in love with a muggle born, remember?
You are not bringing up Lily today. I am bloody sick of Lily.
How could anybody get sick of Lily?
Easily, when they know you.
Lily… Lily…
He's muttering 'Lily' again.
Lily… Lily… Lily… Lily…
This gets so irritating.
Lily… Lily… Lily… Lily… Lily… Lily… Lily…
I'm leaving.
Lily… Lily… Lily… Lily Evans… Lily… Lily… Lily… Lily Evans…
Goodbye Pablo.
Lily… Lily Potter… Lily… Lily Evans… Lily Potter… Lily… Lily… Lily… Lily Potter…
I don't believe it. 'Lily Potter'! The day I see that…
Lily… Lily…
I'm taking him away.
Captivatingly Gorgeous,
Padfoot and Prongs and Lily… Lily…
