A/N: I know I said I'd update some of my other fics first but suddenly this
inspiration hit me! It's been bugging me and I finally gave in to write it
down. I also won't be able to update over the weekend. I'm going to my
cottage for the last days of spring break, so this may be my last update
this week. I'll write the next chapter when I'm gone though, then I can
type it out and upload it! Yay me!
I know people are probably wondering how long this will last. I will most likely have it go through 7th year. That will be A LOT of chapters, though not as many as Mordred's story, which so far has 113 chapters. At least I don't think it will be that long...
I claim no ownership over the Harry Potter characters (sadly) and am making no money off this fic (sadly)
Chapter 4: Life at Hogwarts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Troubles continued with the Slytherins even after that day. They seemed to travel in groups (due to Bellatrix's tempting) and tried to catch Sirius when he was alone.
Unfortunately for them, Sirius, James, and Remus were always together. After a week, the Slytherins began going back to giving everyone out of their house a hard time.
The classes though, seemed easy enough. After the scene outside the room, Professor McGonagall had taken them inside and gave a long speech.
Afterwards they were to turn a match into a needle. Only four students had accomplished this task, them being James, Sirius, Remus, and Lily.
All of their teachers were stand able, none of them a complete terrible teacher. Even the head of Slytherin seemed to treat Gryffindor's with respect. (That's a rare one that comes around every thousand years Sirius had said)
The three were now sitting in Defense Against The Dark Arts, bored. Professor Balestrarie was an elderly old woman who looked like she would kick the bucket any day now. As she talked on about a time she had met a 'terrible group of flobberworms' the three friends passed notes.
James: I'm bored.
Sirius: Me too.
Remus: I admit this woman doesn't know a thing about the dark arts. I wonder how she got hired in the first place?
Sirius: Simple answer my friend, there was no one else for the job.
James: I agree with you.
Remus: True...I did read about an article about it...it seemed no one wanted the job after that accident with the pixies.
James: I don't know how someone can be so stupid to let out pixies, and then loose their wand. The stupid thing is he jumped out the window after a pixie through it out.
Sirius: You're not serious?
James: No you're serious. But he actually did.
Sirius looked angry that his own joke had been used against him. He looked up at the professor.
"And the flobberworms ganged up on me and tried to bring me down! But I-"
Sirius shook his head and looked back down at the paper.
Sirius: Listen to her! Like anyone could get attacked by flobberworms in real life!
Remus: Flobberworms could rule the wizarding world some day! They may seem weak but they're dangerous!
James: What the-
Remus: I mean only she could say that.
Sirius: To much work to write out her name?
Remus: Well yes as her names so damn long and hard to spell!
Sirius and James looked wide-eyed down at the paper and then at Remus, who was looking at them perfectly normally.
James: You swore!
Sirius: Didn't think you had it in you!
Remus: Oh thank you for believing me to be a great prat.
The bell rang and Remus picked up the parchment they had been writing on.
"You're welcome," James and Sirius said at the exact same time. None of the other students had a clue of what he was talking about.
On the way to lunch, they were laughing and talking, when they heard a whimper come from in an empty classroom.
"What was that?"
The three stopped and peeked in. The classroom was small, with desks against the walls and a bookshelf at the end of the room, filled with old dusty books. The room was so caked with dust that the three choked when they looked in. They saw a small boy, the mouse looking boy, pushed up against the corner with three Slytherins standing over him laughing.
"Leave him alone!" James said stepping forward.
The three Slytherin boys looked up. On of them had greasy black hair that looked like it hadn't been washed in months, a first year by the name of Severus Snape. The other two looked like third years...like friends of Malfoy's.
James knew Malfoy was in the hospital wing...for what he did not know.
"And what are you going to do about it?" Snape asked as he stepped forward.
"Well Snivellus, I say we will attempt this." Sirius had stepped forward, and had his wand raised. He muttered something, and Snape was thrown backwards against the wall, along with the other two Slytherins.
"Come on!" James yelled to the boy. He stood up and ran over. The four boys quickly exited the room.
"Thank you," the boy said as they walked.
"What's your name?" Remus asked politely.
"Peter...Peter Pettigrew."
"I'm Remus Lupin, and those great prats are Sirius Black and James Potter."
"Hey!" Both Sirius and James turned around to look at a smirking Remus. They glared at him, but chose to ignore the comment and walked on.
After classes, the four friends were sitting in the common room in chairs in the corner. They sat in silence, before James suddenly thought of something.
"We should get those Slytherins back for what they did to you Peter!" James eyes shone with mischief, and he hadn't seemed this excited all day. "We can sneak into the common room, and-"
"That would be great James, if we knew the password, or in fact where the common room is!" Remus pointed out.
The look disappeared from James face and he suddenly looked somber.
Sirius was thinking hard and then thought of something. "My cousin! She's head girl and knows the passwords and where the common rooms are! We can ask her!"
James smiled, the look of mischief back in his eyes. Peter looked nervous but all the same excited. Remus was trying to look disapproving but was failing miserably. "Fine, when do we start?"
Two nights later they were ready. That night they snuck down to the Slytherin common room.
"Snake" James whispered. The portrait silently let them through.
The room was full off...green. The chairs that littered the room were cold and stiff, not life the warm fluffy ones in the Gryffindor common room. There were small black tables that lined the walls for studying. They were covered in a thick dust as if they hadn't been used before.
The four boys shivered and went to work. When they were done, they left.
"That was a great idea Remus!"
"Yeah, turning all their robes hot pink, with badges that say I'm a Slytherin, but I support Gryffindor!" Sirius grinned wildly.
"And the best part is they won't even know it!" James said gleefully.
They suddenly heard the sound of someone coming down the stairs. They melted into the shadows and watched with bated breath.
Professor Dumbledore walked past. He stopped though, and looked at them. His eyes were twinkling as he walked on.
Tommorow they would see how their prank turned out.

A/N: Also a bit short, but I'm leaving for the weekend...tommorow...early.
Review Responses: I can't believe how many people reviewed!
Padfootlet: First to review! Cool! *Hands Pepsi* is that it? This one was much...well unviolent if that's even a word. My spellchecker says it's not but oh well! I agree with you. Let's kill Bellatrix! So do I. *Starts crying*
CJ*-Cj: I know how you feel! *Jumps up and down with a sticker on head* Ha if you had seen me at Haili's house you'd be scared.
Kurtcobain4eva: Thanks. I need bravery actually. Everyone needs it, but apparently she doesn't think so. A comforter is just another word for blanket basically.
Laughing Dragoness: Thanks. Here's an update.
LuluIsALobster: That is an INTERSTING pen name lol. Thanks...luluisalobster...different but funny.
Rose Black: I know, and thanks. Have you seen any Gryffindor outside of Lily, Celebrean, James, Remus, and Peter speak or make any gesture toward Sirius? No. The other Gryffindor's don't trust him really, but since he hangs around with James Potter they aren't as nervous around him...but they won't be talking to him any time soon. Or they will, after that prank gets out. *Shrugs* In my opinion, his mother would think Sirius would be disgraced by the things she said, while in fact he didn't really mind, just upset she would say that to everyone, but as you could see, it didn't affect him greatly.
ShrugDuckie: Yep, I left a preview. So do I. I actually didn't realize that really does happen until after I wrote it and was rereading it. Thanks. NO! HELP PADFOOT SHE WANTS TO KILL ME!
Sirius: *Jumps in front of April* you can't kill her! *Raises wand* Shoo! No killing the author! She won't be able to update!
April: Thank you. Here's the update though.
Rtji0wy4': Wow that took awhile and it didn't turn up misspelled on my spell checker. Weird. I know, but that's the beauty of fanfiction, and I wanted him to be in it though I despise him.
MoJo-sbluver: Here's that update. I LOVE HIM TOO!
Sparkzi: I reset that comment. Getting beat up by a girl...I am a girl you know...besides, Bellatrix is older, and didn't really beat him up, just a bit. Wanted to show all her hatred toward him. I mean she did *sob* you know in book five. HE BETTER COME BACK ALIVE IN BOOK 6!
Well that's all.

The results of the prank show.
Notes are passed in class (will be a big part of chapter)
Please review. I won't update for a while cause I'm leaving to go up north tommorow, but I'll write the next chapter when I'm gone and type it up soon. Please review!
