Watching all the seventh year girls file past with identically diabolical smiles glued to their faces would be an unnerving experience for any normal man, but for the Marauders, to whom the grins were directed at, it was quite terrifying. The girls in seventh year had never retaliated before (other than the odd curse here and there) and not knowing what to expect kept the four boys rather nervous.
"James, I'm nervous." said Sirius, stupidly.
"Yes, we know Padfoot. You've only been saying that for the past half hour!" snapped Lupin.
Lupin isn't normally so waspish, but it was getting to be that time of the month again. And no, I'm not implying Lupin is more feminine than we first thought (get your mind out of the gutter!), merely that it was nearly the full moon.
"Do you think it's going to be anything really bad?" asked Peter, who was, at the moment, fearing for his slightly pathetic life.
"Well of course it's going to be bad, seeing as this time is going to be payback for all the things you four have done to them over the past years!"
The boys turned around to find a very annoyed McGonagall preparing to talk to the Gryffindor population as a whole.
"Frankly, I'm surprised this hasn't happened sooner! I believe several professors had a bet going to see how long it would take for the girls to crack. I suppose Leanne won the pool. She bet that the pranking would begin this week. Lucky…"
The four Marauders stared open mouthed at each other, then at their teacher, and back at each other again.
"Did McGonagall just entail that our teachers were involved in gambling?" asked Sirius in a hushed voice.
"I think so…" answered James, equally awed.
"Coooooool." said Sirius, somewhat dimly.
The teacher in question cleared her throat. The entire common room became utterly silent. Magical powers that McGonagall has, eh?
"Right! Professor Dumbledore has just announced that their will be a Sadie Hawkins dance this year, in November, so girls get to pick their dates this time. And no bribing! I haven't forgotten what happened last year! Bidding wars… madness." she said under her breath. "Oh, and Potter, detention in my office, now! Dying people's skin and hair! Honestly boy, what were you thinking?
After McGonagall declared the Sadie Hawkins dance, many girls were wagging their eyebrows suggestively in the general direction of James and Sirius, so the Potter boy was all too happy to get out of the common room, to avoid the potential dog pile that was bound to happen.
And sure enough, as the matronly teacher with James in tow marched away, screams could be heard issuing from the Gryffindor common room, and not just from the girls intent on grabbing one of the quote: "SEXIEST MEN ON EARTH!".
Have you ever heard a teenage boy shriek? Any respect you ever had for that shrieker is phft! Out the window!
Anyway, on with the all out prank war sure to happen between the two groups of seventh years!
Two of the four girls were currently occupying the dungeons, and were hurriedly raiding the store cupboard for their necessary supplies.
"Wait!" Maria paused "Melanie, do you hear that?"
"What? The screaming?" answered Melanie
"Yeah!"
"Oh, it's probably just Sirius.
"Yeah… probably."
Meanwhile in an empty classroom, two more girls were whipping up a few potions and such, when they too heard screaming.
"Elizabeth, is that who I think it is?" asked Lily slowly.
"Oh the screaming? Yeah, that's Sirius." answered Elizabeth.
"Yeah. Thought so."
"You think that the potions are finished now?" asked Elizabeth.
"Oh definitely. Back to the dorm!"
"Right!"
So the two young women headed back to the dorm, soon to be joined by their partners in crime, Melanie and Maria.
Actually, now that I think about it, I've decided revenge is not a crime. Revenge is more like a necessary evil. It must be done, although criminal behavior might be a result of said chore.
Such as stealing from the school store cupboard. Naughty girls!
Anyway, I went a bit off topic there. On with our harrowing tale of adventure!
So the four girls hurried back to their dorm, smiling evilly as they passed the one remaining Marauder. Because of course James was in detention, and Sirius had been spirited away by devious little sixth years. Scary them. And Lupin was off howling at the moon or whatever he does when he turns into that insanely psychotic werewolf guy.
So Peter, being all by himself, was quite terrified of the girls, so ran away squeaking like a madman. Or madrat. Get it? Yeah? Yeah? Good.
The girls merely laughed and trudged up to their dorm, and threw all their supplies on Melanie's bed.
"Everyone knows what's happening right? Then the plan goes down tonight!"
Tres exciting, non? Anyway, that chapter was a bit longer, but not long enough, I know. Please review!
