A/N: I'm very sorry that I haven't update in how many days? Well, let's just say that I haven't updated in a long time and I'm VERY sorry about that.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything you recognize. However, I do own James's, Sirius's, Stacy's, Maria's, and Remus's partners. The names I used are real people and some facts about them are true. Some I just exadarated.



Chapter 8

Trouble with Snape.



"Now, I will pair you off for this hypnotizing potion. You will work with a partner that I choose." Said Professor Dung.

Lily, James, Stacy, Sirius, Maria, and Remus were in Potions, their least favorite class. Peter had Herbology.

"Good. Now, Miss Evans will be paired off with Miss Black."

Lily dropped her quill and glared at the teacher. She hated Bellatrix, Sirius's cousin since she was about the most annoying person on Earth. Bellatrix didn't like Lily either.

"Mr. Potter is with Miss Porchia Holden."

James groaned. Porchia was another Slytherin that had a crush on him. She was always asking him out and forever pestering him.

"Ooh, I get to work with James. Yay!" Porchia said in a high girly voice.

"Oh great. I get to work with the biggest bitch in the world." James said, putting his head in his hands. [A/N: I do know a girl named Porchia that is the biggest bitch in the world. Really, she is. A nightmare if you have her in the same class]

"Cheer up pal." Said Sirius. "She can't be that bad."

"Ooh, this is so exciting, I gotta go write to my daddy. I finally got paired up with a boy." #Snort snort#

"Okay, so she is that bad." Said Sirius. "But it could have been worse. I mean, you could have gotten stuck with Sni—

"Mr. Black and Mr. Snape are paired together." said the teacher.

Sirius looked as though he would murder the teacher. "Why you filthy—

"Do you have something to say, Mr. Black? If you do, I suggest you tell the whole class."

"No, nothing, wanna-be Professor." Sirius smirked.

"Mr. Black, 20 points from Gryffindor and Detention. Now, may I continue? Miss Orad is with Miss Barrera."

Now it was Maria's turn to groan. She absolutely hated and despised Alyssa Barrera. Not only was she three times the size of a regular person, she was the ugliest girl in Hogwarts. She had boils on her face and her hair always looked as if it was just electrified. [Again, another person I know and hate. And the fact about her being three times the size of a regular person, that's true.]

"And Miss Dawn is with Miss Esquivel."

It was Stacy's turn to glare at the teacher. Michelle Esquivel shouldn't have even been called a miss, more like a mister. She had a mustache and a beard. Her hair was never brushed and it was always tangled. She was also a nerd and loved Snivellus. [Again, a real person that I hate and the hair always tangled it's a true fact.]

"Mister Lupin will be with Jennifer Mintz."

Remus looked as though someone had just made him kiss Snivellus. Mintz looked excited and seemed to be trying to say something. She looked like a fish with her mouth moving up and down. Of course she could talk, but her voice was so high frequency, even dogs couldn't hear her.

Professor Dung continued listing off names.

"Have I ever told you how much I hate this class?" said James.

"Only a million times." Replied Sirius. "Oh, now it's a million and one."

"Why did we even take this class?" asked Stacy.

"It was for Auror training." Replied Lily.

"Please tell me why I chose a career that had potions." Said Maria.

"Because you really want to become a Healer." Answered Remus.

"How'd you know that?" asked Maria.

Remus blushed. "Oh well, uh, I just heard you talking about it one time with Lily."

"No he didn't. He followed her around and took notes of all the stuff she liked. You can give him a quiz about Maria's life and he'll get all the questions right." James muttered to Lily and Stacy.

"We need to get them together."

"How?"

"Well you're the brains here James so figure it out." Said Lily.

"But—

"You should be heading over to your partners table and start the potion." Said Dung.

The gang gathered their stuff and walked slowly to their partners tables. Lily put her stuff down and sat by Bellatrix, not talking to her but proceeding straight to work. James dragged his feet to Porchia's table and sat as far away from her as he possibly could. Stacy looked very disgusted as she sat by Esquivel. Maria was just standing by her partner or actually, across from her partner since Barrera occupied a lot of space. Sirius looked mad. So did Snivellus. Sirius flung down his stuff and started working on the potion, ignoring Snivellus completely. Remus was the smart one. He sat in an unoccupied table that was to the right of Mintz's table and put the cauldron on the floor in between them.

Finally it was the part of testing the potion to see if it worked. The pairs had to play rock, paper, and scissors to see who would have to take it. Lily won so she made Bellatrix jump around the room like a bunny rabbit, meanwhile singing Rock-a-bye-baby. Fortunately for James, he won so he made Porchia run up and kiss a fellow Slytherin girl. Everybody got a good laugh at that, at least all the Gryffindors did. James did land himself in another detention, but he said it was worth it. Maria also won and made Alyssa sing and dance ...Baby one more time. It was quite a funny sight for everybody. Now Stacy, Remus and Sirius weren't that lucky. They lost so Esquivel made Stacy act like a geek. Mintz made Remus pretend that he was a rock star. But Sirius was least lucky of all. Snivellus made him act like a monkey/crazy human and before the potion wore off, (It was only for a couple of seconds because they only drank one drop of the potion) he put a spell on him so Sirius ended up acting like a crazed monkey for the rest of the week.

"Ooh. I'm gonna kill her." said Stacy.

"oooooooooh ah ah?" said Sirius.

"Well, I wouldn't blame you; I never thought that you knew so much about electricity." Said Lily.

"I don't."

"La la la la. Ba ba ba ba ba. weeeeeeeeeeee!"

"What are we gonna do about him?" Stacy asked. "I'm not going on a date with a delusional Sirius."

"You were gonna have a date today?" asked Maria interestingly.

"That's not the point. Is there a counter curse?"

"Nope. I read about it and it said that it will wear off by itself." Said Lily.

They all looked at Sirius who was hanging of the curtains and yelling something incomprehensible.

"How long is he gonna be like this?"

"Well, we will have to wait until the spell wears off so—

"ooh ooh ah ah..."

"How long?"

"On the good side, Hogwarts will probably be prank free for about—

"How long?"

"Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

"About a week. If the spell was really powerful, it might be more."

James sighed.

"Co co la m ba ram ba?" asked Sirius, who was sitting on all fours.

"This is gonna be a loooooooooong week."

"Maka?"

"Oh boy. For the next week, beware Hogwarts, monkey crazed human coming through."



For the next week Sirius was acting like a monkey. He was excused from all his classes as were James, Remus and Peter. They were sort of like his guards and helped him stay out of trouble, although they failing terribly.

"I give up sonkey. (Sonkey was their name for Sirius. Very stupid, don't even bother telling me that. Lol) He's waaaaaaaaay too much trouble. I mean, just today, he sneaked out of the Room of Requirement (that's where they kept him) and went down to the kitchen and messed everything up in there. He poured chocolate on the chicken and mixed the drinks..."

"The chicken did taste weird today." Said Stacy.

"And my drink had flour in it." Said Lily.

"My pudding had ketchup in it." Complained Maria. "I sure hope that he turns back into himself soon."

"Nobody wishes that he would turn back into himself more than I." said Stacy. "I mean, I haven't sneaked out on a date or snogged in 5 days! Can you believe that?"

"Yeah, we sure can. I mean there's nothing more important than snogging Sirius." Said Lily sarcastically.

Everybody laughed.

"But exactly how long will it be until he's himself again?" asked Peter.

"Well, he seems to be a little less monkey so I'll say, maybe 3 or 4 more days. I'll say 4 to be exact because the after effects have to disappear too." Said Lily.

"Right."

"Four more days everybody, 4 more days."



A/N: So, how did you like it? Oh, thank Auntarctic for the idea of Snape hypnotizing Sirius and him acting like a monkey. Yep, thanks to her, I posted another chapter and my writers block is over! Well, what are you waiting for, review!
