This is another one of my favorites, hopefully you'll enjoy it as well.

I am afraid I have nothing else to add...

My randomosity seems quite diminished without Rachel here, does it not?

Oddity.

So anyway... read on, my loves!

Once Sirius had put on a shirt that wasn't ripped and Remus had gotten dressed, they finally made it down to Hogsmeade. Their first stop was Zonko's where they browsed for items that may assist them in wreaking havoc in the school.

"Ooh, this is neat," said Keegan, having found bright purple fan adorned with fluffy red feathers. She fanned herself with it dramatically, batting her eyelashes in mock flirtation.

"Keegan?" Lily asked with raised eyebrows.

"Yes, dahling?" she responded, suddenly sounding like a movie star from the 1920's.

"You look like an idiot."

"I love you too."

"Yeah, but how d'you reckon we'd get them into Snivelly's shoes?" James was saying. He, Sirius, and Peter were gathered around a table with a sign reading FOOTWEAR. James was examining a pair of Self-Tangling Shoelaces and Sirius was showing him a package of Odor-Causing Inserts.

"True…" Sirius said, looking slightly deflated. "Hey, what about these?" He had picked up a pair of Ever-Shrinking-Sneakers. "We could – we could transfigure them to look like his shoes, then sneak into the Slytherin dorms, and swap them out while he's sleeping!" his face lit up with a mischievous smirk and an evil glint in his eyes. "And while we're in there, we can booby-trap the common room! Dungbombs, farting charms on the chairs, the whole nine yards!"

"Yes," Remus said, looking up from a thick book he was thumbing through, "and how do you plan to get into the Slytherin dorms?"

"Please!" James scoffed.

"Honestly!" Sirius said, looking indignant.

"You've known us – how long, Moony?" James asked, not expecting an answer.

"Six years!" Sirius put in.

"Six years!"

"Six!"

"By now you should know, Sirius and I possess powers mere mortals have only dreamed of!"

"Well put, Prongs!"

"We are masterminds!"

"Masterminds!"

"Geniuses!"

"Geniuses!"

"Oh, you're geniuses?" Remus said with a smirk. "That's why you're letting Instant Athlete's Foot Powder spill all over your shoes?"

"That's exactly why we're – what?"

Sirius and James looked down. It seemed that Sirius had upset a bottle of the stuff in his excitement, and it was pouring steadily over their shoes, seeping in through the shoelace holes and openings.

"DAMMIT!" James swore as he and Sirius broke into a frenzied sort of jig to try and shake the powder off of their shoes amid the laughter of their friends.

No sooner had James and Sirius stopped hopping madly around than a scream resounded from behind them. They turned around in time to see that Keegan's feathered fan was attacking her face, her hands waving helplessly as she tipped over backwards and brought down an entire shelf of Nose-Biting Teacups. The teacups, in turn, began latching onto her body, nibbling on her shirt and pants, nipping at her skin, and pulling on her hair.

"GET THEM OFF! GET THEM OFF!"

The others rushed over as she frantically tried to knock the teacups off of her. In the end it took the combined efforts of all six of them to finally get the fan and the teacups off of Keegan and restore things to their rightful order.

"Remind me to never touch anything in Zonko's again," Keegan said as she finally got to her feet and deposited the fan back in its case, which she now noticed bore a sign that read PERSIAN ATTACKING FANS.

Once they had made their purchases they set off up the street to Honeydukes, Remus staggering under the weight of a very large book he had bought.

"Only you, Moony, would buy a book at Zonko's," James remarked.

"I've got a feeling it'll come in handy," Remus responded with a slightly twisted smile, showing them the cover. The lengthy title was printed in prominent gold lettering.

"A Million and One Charms and Jinxes for Making Mischief and Causing Chaos," Sirius read aloud. "That rolls off the tongue."

"And so does Sirius Camelopardalis Lacerta Horologium Monoceros Black."

"Hey," Sirius said warningly as he opened the door to Honeydukes. "We agreed not to discuss the middle names."

That is all, then, I suppose.

Until elsewhere,
