"Hey Harry, guess what?" Sirius said on the first day school was let out when Harry was putting his stuff in an added room in Sirius' quarters."
"Hi Sirius, what?" Harry asked putting some pictures of his parents and Hermione and Ron on the nearby shelf.
"No more Orion! Dumbledore hired me for the Defense Against the Dark Arts job next term as me! I don't have to pretend anymore."
"That's great! So not going tell anyone about Orion?"
"No, I don't think it matters much."
"Oh, me neither. Do you want to help me unpack?" Harry asked.
"Sure," Sirius said and after about an hour they had made the place look very comfortable. Harry was ecstatic about staying there. "So...what do you want to do now?" Harry asked.
"Want to go see our friendly potions master?" Sirius said with a hint of malice in his voice."
Harry laughed. "What do you want to do to him?"
"Something like I used to."
"Sirius, I'm finally on civil terms with him. When are you going to be civil with him?"
"Um...never. What, are you going to be best mates with Malfoy?" Sirius asked slyly.
"Sirius, that's different."
"How so?"
"Well, Malfoy is evil. His dad is constantly trying to kill me and I also wouldn't be surprised if he started trying soon too. You both are adults and even though you aren't always mature, you should be with him. It is about time."
"First of all, everyone thought Snape was evil, and we don't know Malfoy is really dark. Everyone just assumes he is. We tried to kill Snape when we were younger. Okay...I know we didn't try to but he thought we did. We almost did get him killed though."
"That was in the past. This is the present," Harry said.
"Okay, okay, I get your point but it is also somewhat hypocritical. Admit that at least."
"Yeah I admit it now lets prank someone else."
"Moony?" Sirius suggested.
"No, he's not original enough. How about McGonagall?"
"Sirius do you realize how mad she would be? She will know we did it."
"Fine then," Sirius said, "How about Dumbledore?" Sirius asked with a smirk.
"Sirius..."
"Oh come on Harry. He will probably know it's us but it isn't like he will do anything about it."
"I guess you are right but if we get caught I am putting all of the blame on you."
"What should we do?"
"Oh, a marauder like you is out of ideas?" Harry asked.
"Of course not. I just thought you might want to help."
"Hi Harry, Sirius. What are you two talking about?" Lupin asked as he came in and sat down.
"We are planning a prank," Sirius explained.
"Marauder style?" Remus asked.
"Gosh, if you two acted like this everyday I would probably take up a permanent home at St. Mungos or something."
"What other style is there dear Moony?" Sirius asked after shooting a quick mock glare and ignoring his godson. "Are you going to help?"
"I guess but if we get caught I am putting all the blame on you Sirius."
Harry started cracking up in laughter.
"Shut it Harry," Sirius scowled.
"Remus, that is exactly what I said!" Harry sputtered.
"What are we going to do?" Sirius insisted.
"How about we...give him Snape's hair," Remus suggested. "You know, cut it, grease it, and dye it all black."
"Can you imagine Dumbledore like that?"
"Even better, can you imagine Snape with Dumbledore's hairstyle? He would look like a depressed Santa Clause," Harry laughed.
"Who?" Sirius and Remus asked together.
"Um...nevermind. Muggle thing."
"How about we switch their hair..."
"That is a perfect idea Sirius. How would we do that though?" Remus asked.
"There is a simple hair styling spell we can use," Harry said mischieviously.
"And we could make it permanent!" Sirius said.
"I don't think permanent would be a good idea necessarily," Harry said.
"I agree with Harry on that one Sirius."
"Okay, then how about we make it permanent for 7 days," Sirius suggested.
"Sounds good to me," Lupin said and Harry nodded in agreement.
"Let's do it then," Sirius said happily.
"I can't believe this is the marauders in action," Harry announced.
"Are you kidding? We used to do a lot more than just this. I lost track of how many detentions we had after 300," Lupin smirked.
"Yeah but there were some things you would back out of and made James and I do them alone."
"I never made you do anything Sirius! I am sorry I wouldn't feed Filch's cat to the damn squid!"
Harry laughed. "Come on guys. What is the plan?"
"I'll keep watch," Remus said without thinking twice. Harry knew he did this partially because he wanted to stay the responsible one.
"Fine," Harry said, "I will do it to Snape I guess. Let me tell you the spell Sirius so you can do it to Dumbledore."
They had it all planned out. Remus wouldn't really do anything but he did tell them what they would have to do exactly. Sirius headed for Dumbledore's office while Harry headed for the dungeons. Snape was working on checking the potions supply closet to see if everything was there and what he needed to restock and such. He did this at the end of every year. He did not hear a boy sneak in the classroom and put a spell on his hair. Snape was counting the skaedle scales when the next thing he knew the hair that was on his face turned a bright shade of white and was growing down to his butt.
"What the bloody hell?" Snape muttered to himself as he ran his long callused fingers through his thick white beard. There was hair everywhere it seemed. It was on his upper lip, his chin, all around his face, and his eyebrows had multiplied in size. Snape looked into the mirror and starting muttering dozens of curse words both muggle and wizard. Harry did not stick around to see the results. As soon as he said the spell he jetted out the door and down the hallway. Snape quickly came to his senses and looked out of his classroom to see Potter running through the hallway in the opposite direction.
"Petrificus Totalus!" Snape bellowed hurriedly and Harry stiffly fell to the ground with a thump. Professor Snape, with his long white beard, strode over the unmovable boy and looked down at him in disgust. "I am going to let you loose but you will follow me to my classroom immediately. Is that understood?"
Harry made some noises but couldn't exactly answer the question directly. Snape unfroze him all the same. Harry couldn't believe the outcome of the spell. Although he would rather have not gotten caught this way it really was all worth it. Snape looked just like Dumbledore except his face was fuller and he still had the same Snape expressions. Harry tried to hold back his laughter.
"What the bloody hell did you do?"
"Nothing sir," Harry said smugly.
"Potter, tell me or you will get no Wolfsbane this month!" Harry paled.
"It was a spell to switch your hair with Dumbledore's."
"For how long?"" Snape growled.
"A week..."
Snape groaned and grabbed Harry's arm while pulling him out the door. "You are coming with me."
Harry could tell they were going to see Dumbledore. They passed a total of two people on the way there. Sirius saw Snape pulling Harry and immediately starting laughing. Snape pulled Harry even harder because of this. McGonagall was the other person they passed.
"Albus, why on earth are you speeding down the hallways with Mr. Potter in your grasp?" she asked confused. She stopped suddenly. She saw the tight black robes he wore and the dozens of black buttons going up his chest. She recognized the face immediately. "Severus?"
Snape sneered and kept walking. Harry was surprised to see McGonagall not even try to hold back her laugher as she walked the opposite direction. Meanwhile in Dumbledore's office Albus paced his room which he occasionally liked to do when he needed to think. Suddenly the whiteness from his hair disappeared and it turned jet black with an incredible amount of grease on it. Albus looked in the mirror and chuckled to himself. What that him? He hadn't seen his chin in decades! Just then Snape said the password and bolted in the door with Harry being pulled along.
"Headmaster I-"Snape stopped. He looked at the headmaster with the shoulder length greasy black hair. No one had seen Dumbledore without his long white beard in....decades! Harry was shocked as well.
"He did it!" Snape said childishly and pointed to Harry.
"I think you look dashing. Harry what do you have to say for yourself?"
"Um...nothing sir."
"Very well, since the two of you have been on...better terms this year, I will let you handle this Severus. I am sure you will give Harry an appropriate punishment. When will it wear off?" Dumbledore asked calmly facing Harry.
"7 days," Harry said simply.
"Potter, detention at 8 o'clock tonight. Do not be late. Tell the mutt I am on to him," Snape said and left. Dumbledore and Harry were now alone.
"I am afraid I have ministry business to deal with right now Harry. I am scheduled for a meeting."
Harry looked slightly embarrassed after realizing the headmaster would have to go looking like Snape.
"Sorry sir," he said.
"It's quite alright Harry as I know it was not you who did this to me. Would you however please tell the one who did to be a little quieter next time?"
Harry was taken aback but nodded with a smile.
"Sirius did you see? Can you believe how great it looked?" Harry exclaimed forgetting all about his detention later that night with Snape.
"That was the most priceless thing I have ever seen. Just wait until you see it Moony!" Sirius said happily. "Harry, what happened with Snape?"
"I got a detention with Snape but this was worth it."
"Aw, our little Harry's growing up", Sirius smirked.
"More like turning into another marauder."
The day went on and Harry showed Sirius some of his discoveries of rooms in Hogwarts. Sirius showed him some too. After dinner which they ate with Dobby in the kitchen, it was time for Harry's detention. "I hate having detention during the summer," Harry said to Sirius.
"Yeah, well consider it a grounding."
"Then it's you who should get the grounding not me."
"Come in," Snape said as Harry knocked and Sirius quickly left. Harry had almost forgotten how the potions master looked but as soon as he saw the back of his head he wanted to laugh but somehow managed to control himself. "Mr. Potter, today we will be making two batches of Wolfsbane potion. I imagine you can guess why."
"Yes sir," Harry said and set himself up next to Snape.
"I will need to you to stir and hand me the ingredients."
"Sir, I know how to make the potion. It would save more time if we-"
"We cannot have any mistakes Mr. Potter."
"Okay it was just a thought."
Snape finished putting his ingredients out. Harry supposedly was still holding a grudge about the hair thing. Then Snape pulled up his hair so it was out of the way. Harry looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "It gets in the way Potter. Just stay on task." Harry nodded and started handing the ingredients to the professor. After a while, Harry was getting bored. Of course, Professor Snape never conversed while making a potion. It just wasn't professional to him. Snape's hair was indeed thick. So thick, in fact, that the muggle band holding it back snapped in half and fell into the potion.
"Um Professor... what was that?"
Snape didn't get the chance to answer as he grabbed Harry's arm and yanked him down under the desk. Harry lost his balance and fell beside the desk, face first on the cold stone floor. Just then, Harry heard it. The potion exploded all over the room and the cauldron flew up in the air. Before Snape or Harry could do anything about it, the cauldron hit him right on top of the head and he was knocked out.
"Severus, what happened?" Harry vaguely heard Pomphrey ask the potions master. Harry didn't want to open his eyes yet but he was aware that he was in the hospital wing.
"I will tell you once Albus gets here," Snape said simply as he sat down in a small chair. Snape felt so dumb. He should've been more careful. He forgot something like this could happen. Damn Albus and his stupid Phoenix!
"Hello Severus, Poppy, care to tell me why Mr. Potter is already in the hospital bed on his first day of summer?" Albus asked calmly.
"We were making Wolfsbane potion for his detention and I pulled back my hair. The band broke and fell in along with a few strands of hair and it exploded. It got all over Potter and the cauldron fell on his head."
"Severus, why didn't you tell me?" Poppy screeched and rushed over to Harry. "Albus' hair can cause many different things to happen to the potion!"
A/N- This was either funny...or it wasn't. I am not sure. I hope it was a little funny. Seriously, imagine Snape with ling white hair and Dumbledore with shorter greasy black hair. I think that would be quite amusing. Just to let you all know, spell check was not working today. I tried to correct most of my errors but please forgive me if there are a few here or there.
