Well, I haven't updated in a very long time. I am so sorry, you don't even know how sorry I am. I have been redoing my house and I know that you don't want to hear any excuses so on with it.

Chapter 3

Sirius and James stopped Harry at the portrait of the Fat Lady and they both had a very serious look on their face. Harry raised his eyebrow at them as if to ask what they wanted.

"Look we know that maybe just doing what Bradley wanted in their might have seemed a bit well out of our style but trust us, he is going to get his so much more than anything the three of us got just now." This somehow angered Harry to no end.

"Oh and having my hand sliced open wasn't horrible at all?"

"That's not what we said," Sirius burst out quite angrily, "We only said we were going to get him back for doing this to you and us and for the hand slicing open bit well I know how that feels as well so no need to act like your the only person that knows what it feels like." Harry felt like he had been punched in the gut, he immediately opened his mouth to apologize but Sirius cut him off.

"Don't apologize." Harry closed his mouth and turned to the Fat Lady, he muttered the password and went in leaving the two Maurders standing outside. They climbed in quickly after him and the portrait shut behind them.

Inside the common room Hermione had cornered Harry and was demanding to see his hand. The argument the followed this was one of the best the occupants of the room had ever seen.

"Harry stop being a prat and let me look at your hand." Hermione had red patches on her cheeks and she looked like she was ready to slap him.

"My hand is fine it's happened before and it will happen again. I'm tired and I am going to bed. See you all in the morning." Harry was turning around to go to the dormitories but Hermione had stopped him.

"You are not running away from this Harry, you run from everything. Just let me fix it and everything will be okay. Honestly do you have to be so stubborn?" She made to grab for his arm but he jerked it out of her way.

"Me running? All I am doing is going to bed. I'll run some cold water over it and wrap a bandage on it. In the morning I'll change it. End of the bloody story okay?" Hermione opened her mouth to object but Harry cut in. "Just drop it." He muttered a goodnight to the entire common room and went up the stairs and disappeared into the 6th year boys dormitories.

"Well now really, he has got to learn to let someone take care of him once in a while." Sirius, James, and Remus tipped their heads to Ron and Hermione and went off to a secluded corner to plan about something that the remaining two didn't want to know about right now. They were much to worried about Harry.

The Next Morning

In the morning Sirius, James, and Remus greeted the Ron and Hermione with bright cheery smiles. Sirius was the first to notice that Harry wasn't with them. He quickly pointed it out to the others.

"Where's Harry?" Hermione and Ron glanced at each other and then back at the Maurders.

"You mean he's not with you? When Ron said that he wasn't up in the dormitories I assumed that he was doing something for you guys." Hermione had a face full of worry as the group walked down to breakfast.

In the great hall they were all met with a surprise, Harry was already in there and he was talking to Lily of all people. James made a hmmphing noise in his throat and they made their way over to the two. Sirius and Ron plopped rather unceremoniously on the benches and began to stuff their faces with anything within their reach. Hermione rolled her eyes and buttered herself a piece of toast to eat while she pulled out a Transfiguration book to study before class.

Harry had glanced over when they had sat down but otherwise continued his conversation with Lily about their classes for the day.

"Ere ere ooo tis borning?" Sirius asked with his mouthful off eggs and ketchup. Hermione, Lily, and Remus gave him a disgusted look while Harry answered him with amusement in his eyes.

"I woke up early and was bored so I went to the library. I ran into Lily there and we studied for a bit before coming in for breakfast. We've only been in here for about ten minutes before you lot came in." Sirius nodded his head and continued his breakfast.

Twenty minutes later the group was finished and they made their way to the first class of the day, Transfiguration. Professor Mcgonagal was standing at the front of the classroom and when the seven game in and nodded to herself when she saw Lily with James and the others, she had always personally thought that they were made for each other. She cleared her throat and they all took a seat. She began to lecture and Sirius and James began to plot their next big prank. It was going to be on Harry.

"Come on, let's make his hair green and then make his body silver." James shook his head at Sirius' ever favorite prank plan.

"It has to be good. That is so old school. We need something real good. I don't know maybe truth serum in front of the entire school or something like that." Sirius shook his head no.

"That's to personal." James glanced away and adopted a thoughtful look. The three were sitting quietly prank ideas running through their heads but none of them seeming good enough to pull on the three new students. Finally Sirius sighed and poked James in the side. James gave him an evil look which Sirius smirked at.

"Let's just give it a few days and maybe the perfect prank will come to mind." James and Remus nodded their heads and begin to make notes for pranks on other people.

It's not real long but it's an update right? I hope you guys aren't to mad at me. Updates aren't going to be to frequent but I will try to update at least once a month. Maybe more if I decide to stop being lazy and type. Give me ideas for pranks please and leave whatever you think I should do.
