Well, first year passed without any more firsts. There were, however, a lot more fights, screaming, and exploding potions. James, Remus, Peter and I, the amazing Sirius Black, became known as the troublemakers of the school. We annoyed the teachers to no end, and shot spells at Slytherins in hallways and then ran away. But it wasn't until second year that we became known as (drum roll please) The Marauders! We became known as that quite by accident when on Halloween we dressed up as pirates. We went parading around the common room and annoying some people (the prefects) and making others laugh. Lily rolled her eyes and said, "It's fitting that they should be pirates since they are marauders in real life." When I heard that, I knew what our name should be. Well, I guess that's enough about the Marauders, on to Lily and James' next first: First Prank: James on Lily.

First Prank Part I: James on Lily

After we got our name, the Marauders, James decided that we should do something special to announce to the world that we were the Marauders and everyone, especially the Slytherins, should fear us, should tremble in their boots when they heard the name, and so we would be remembered forever.

"So, what do you think we should do?" James asked.

"I have no idea," I replied lounging lazily on my bed. "It's a Saturday. I don't think on Saturdays."

"For heavens sake Sirius," Remus sighed. "You have to think on Saturdays. You need to do homework."

"No, I do that on Sundays."

"Procrastinator." Remus mumbled.

"And proud of it!" I returned. Our procrastination was a source of great annoyance to Remus. Peter listened to him, but James and I were proud procrastinators for life.

"Guys, please pay attention! This is important. If we play our cards right, we could go down in Hogwarts, a History!" James said.

"As what?" Remus asked suspiciously.

"The greatest troublemakers EVER!"

Remus rolled his eyes. "As much as I'd like to be in Hogwarts, a History its not as a troublemaker."

"Fine. I'll tell the publisher to leave you out of it. We'll be the Magnificent Marauding Three, not Four. But, guys, come on. I think we should do something really big."

"Hex all the Slytherins at once?" suggested Peter.

"No! Hexing the Slytherins is an everyday occurrence." I said.

"Wait, Peter does have a point," James mused. "If we did something to all of them."

"Yeah, at the same time," offered Remus. "Professor Flitwick showed us that time charm yesterday, remember?"

"Ha! We have dragged Remus into our evil plotting!" I cackled. All right, I didn't cackle. Only old hags cackle. I just thought it sounded good in the story.

"Yes!" James yelled. We high-fived and danced around the room singing "Remus is an evil plotter." We did that whenever Remus gave into our schemes against his better judgment. We told him that he was going along with his Marauding judgment.

"Okay, back to business." James said trying to sound dignified but failing because he had just been jumping around. "So a plot against the Slytherins using a time charm. What will it be?"

"It's a prank!" I yelled excitedly.

"Yes!" James yelled. "That is what we will be known for! Pranks!"

The rest of the day moved along while we sat in our dorm room plotting our new prank. James decided that we would prank the whole Slytherin table and random Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaws, and Gryffindors. At first the only Gryffindor James wanted to prank was Lily, but Remus and I said that that would be cruel, only pranking her out of all of the Gryffindors. However, Lily had a special variation of the prank. I felt bad going along with the prank on Lily since she had been the only one to accept me at first. However, I decided that I could pretend I didn't know about it.

A few days later, in the morning morning, everybody went down to breakfast innocently. James, Peter, Remus and I had snuck down late the night before and put a spell on all the Slytherin benches, and some Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff benches. That spell had a time spell over it so it would go off at 7:30. When Lily got down James would shoot the special jinx onto her bench.

We sat at a bench that had no curse on it, and began to eat breakfast, trying to look completely innocent. It wasn't working. James kept grabbing Remus' watch to see what time it was. Peter was incredibly jumpy. Remus kept glancing up at the teacher's table to see it they had noticed any thing. I, however, was completely calm. Okay, I'll admit it. I was a bit nervous. I was distracted and put jam on my eggs.

At 7:25 Lily, Alice and Tejal came down. They sat down at a bench a few seats down from ours.

"Now, James!" Remus hissed.

"What?" Peter jumped at the noise.

"James!" I nudged him.

"What?" His head shot up.

"Jinx Lily's seat." whispered Remus.

"Oh, right."

James dropped his fork on the floor and then dove under the table after it. Under the table he pointed his wand at Lily's seat and whispered the series of spells. When he finished he grabbed his fork and came up, he hit his head on the table

Lily looked up at the exact time that he hit his head and burst out laughing before turning back to Alice and Tejal and told them what had happened.

James got up disgruntled. "We'll see whose laughing in-" he grabbed Remus' watch-"two minutes."

"We'll be laughing in two minutes!" Peter said.

"Very good, Peter," Remus said. He was biting his lip nervously. Even after all the detentions we had received last year and the beginning of this year, he was still nervous about breaking school rules.

James grabbed Remus' watch. "One minute."

James was starting to have a nervous breakdown about the prank. "What if it goes wrong? What if it backfires? What if it kills people? I don't want the Gryffindors to die! I would be staining the Potter name! Oh, no, oh, no."

"Calm down!" Remus hissed. "Act normal. Eat!"

James, Peter and I began shoveling food into our mouths.

"Five, four, three, two," Remus counted. "One."

WHOOSH! BANG! BOOOOONG!

The Time Charm activated, followed by the Smoke Spell. The entire Great Hall was filled with smoke.

I heard Professor Flitwick call out a smoke banishing spell. It was pointless; the smoke would have disappeared in thirty seconds anyways. It was nice to know that a teacher could banish smoke in case some evil wizard filled the room with smoke, though.

The smoke disappeared and all the Slytherins, and a few Gryffindors, Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs were wearing signs that said "Slytherins Suck" or "Down With Slytherins" or "Gryffindor will win the next Quiddich Match."

Lily was staring at her sign. There was an arrow pointing up and said, "I'm With A Stuck Up Goody-Two-Shoes." Alice and Tejal also had signs that said, "BEWARE! Stuck Up Goody-Two-Shoes That Way." The signs had arrows that pointed in Lily's direction. I didn't know about Alice and Tejal's signs, James must have added them at last minute. Lily sign was also meaner than we had agreed. That had been the slogan James had wanted at first, but Remus and I had overruled him.

Professor McGonagall was shocked. "WHO DID THIS?" she roared over the noise of everyone reading and comparing their signs and in the case of the Slytherins and Lily, looking murderous.

The Hall fell quiet.

I looked over at Lily. Her face was a cross between angry and looking like she was going to cry.

"Anyone?" Professor McGonagall hissed.

"It was Potter!" Lily yelled. "Only he could have thought up such a low-down hideous prank."

She turned and ran out of the hall, followed quickly by Alice and Tejal.

I felt bad, since she was the only one who had accepted me and I had hurt her, even though it wasn't intentionally.

Professor McGonagall sent a glare in our direction.

Professor Dumbledore stood up. "If everyone will please remove their signs."

There was a tugging of the signs by people who didn't already realize that they could not come off that way.

"They can't come off by pulling!" yelled an angry Slytherin.

"Well, let's see what magic can do then." said Dumbledore. He waved his wand and muttered a few words.

Nothing happened.

"Albus!" said Professor McGonagall.

"Well, magic doesn't work," said the Headmaster. "I guess you will just have to wait for the jinx to run its course."

"Albus!" said Professor McGonagall again.

"Yes, Minerva?"

Professor McGonagall looked angry. Then she shook her head. "Nothing."

I was shocked. Professor Dumbledore's magic hadn't worked!

"Please finish your breakfasts. Misters Potter, Lupin, Pettigrew and Black, please come with me." Professor Dumbledore stood up and left the hall.

We got three weeks of detention and Lily hexed James into the Hospital Wing for a week.

It was only until much later did I realize that Lily, Alice, and Tejal's signs had disappeared by the time I saw them next, long before they were supposed to. James swore he put the same sticking charm on them as he did to all the others.
