Harry Potter and his Sixth Year
Chapter Five: Prank
Harry and James snuck down to the sewing room with the help of an invisibility spell, as they
did not have the time to go find the invisibility cloak. When they arrived at the sewing room
they saw Lily working diligently on her project, though she looked as if she was ready to give
up.
Before they had arrived at the room they had decided who would do each part of the prank.
Harry's job was for her hair to be hot pink and to be sticking straight up, James' part was that
no body would be able to tell her about her hair, only laugh, and if some one tried to tell her,
they would end up laughing even harder.
After they had both completed their part of the spell they quietly went back to the class room,
where they immediately started laughing. "How long do you think it will take her to realize?"
Harry asked his father.
"Probably as soon as she sees a staff member. She's used to being laughed at, and when
she sees somebody laughing at her she immediately conjures a mirror. Some times I even do
a spell that she can't see what is wrong, but that night I normally end up in the 'dog house'
which is really a dog house turn stag house."
Harry laughed at the corny joke and said, "How long before she will see a staff member?"
"I told them to send some one up in about five minutes to tell her that we needed to see her.
Then we can act all normal and show her what you completed today. That way she won't be
very suspicious, now remember you are not allowed to laugh, if you need to cast a spell that
won't let you laugh."
Five minutes later, and after Harry cast a non-laughing charm on himself, Lily arrived at the
Library turn make-shift class room. When she got there she saw James and Harry working on
Harry's lessons. Harry was summoning stuff from all around the room, which was mainly
books.
"Hey boys," Lily said, her hair back to normal. Each boy said hello back, one saying mom and
the other saying Lily. "How has your lessons been coming along, Harry?"
"Quite well, I can summon stuff really well, and I can banish the things back to where they
came from."
"I also see that your father has taken it upon himself to teach you the fine arts of pranking, as
he calls it."
"Yeah, did you like your hair?"
"Not at all."
Laughing Harry said, "The hair part was all my idea, it was my turn to pick the prank, and
dad's turn to pick the victim."
"Humph you could have picked a different victim."
"Not really, I don't know any body else around here except you and Dad, and I don't want to
make any enemies just by pranking them."
"Smart boy."
"I know I am. Now your father is the total opposite, he knows how I can not stand getting
pranked on, let alone my hair being pranked, therefore he will be sleeping in the 'stag house'
tonight."
"Ah man, Harry you shouldn't have told her I picked the victim," James complained.
"Well sorry, it was your idea to pull a prank."
"Can I bunk with you tonight?"
"No, Mom said that you have to stay in the 'stag house' tonight."
"Darn, you know you don't have to listen to your mother all the time."
"I know, but it's still funny that you have to stay in the 'stag house'."
"For you maybe, but after being in it for a while it gets boring, maybe I should teach you to
become an animagi so I won't be the only one who can go in the 'stag house'."
"That would be awesome, what do you think I would turn into?"
"Maybe a little baby deer. You know that when your mother took the potion to see what
animal she should become it turned into a doe. Maybe you can follow your families foot
steps."
"I hope not, it would be boring if there were too many deer in one place."
"When can I take to potion?" Harry asked.
"Well it takes about a week to brew, and since tomorrow will be take a lot out of us, probably
in about two weeks. That is if you want to brew the potion. I could always get someone to
brew the potion for us if you don't want to."
"I want to brew it, I need some more work in potions any way, Snape is not a very good
teacher."
"You take after your mother so much some times it scares me."
"Why because he has a work ethic and you don't?" Lily reminded them of her presence. "Now
Harry becoming an animagi takes a lot of work, it will probably take almost a year before you
can transform."
"Can you transform?" Harry asked his mother.
"No, maybe I will go through the transformation process with you. I had taken the potion a
few weeks before I found out I was pregnant with you, and you can not go through the
animagi process when you are pregnant, something bad can happen to the baby. Now we
better be off to dinner."
"We spent that much time in here?"
"Apparently so, now since we are eating in the family dining room you won't have to dress
up."
"Good, I don't like to dress up to dinner, it always makes me feel that I'm going to get
something on my nice clothes."
