P.S. I need prank ideas, please please please?!! If you have any good ones I'd appreciate them.

Detentions and New Names

They looked around the room in amazement. What they saw were thousands of house-elves running about what looked like a kitchen but was kind of hard to see through the swarm of house-elves.

"Wow, look at all of them," James said in amazement.

"Ya, there are so many," Lily stated.

"What would you like sirs and misses. My name is Tooky sirs and misses and I will serve you whatever you like sirs and misses," Said a house-elf boy that just walked up to them.

"You mean we can have what ever we want to eat?" Sirius asked.

"That is right young sir," replied Tooky. "Here, come with Tooky. He will give young sirs and misses a table to eat on."

Once everyone was seated and had taken their orders they chatted for a little while. They didn't get to talk long, before the food appeared ready for them to eat. They spent the remainder of the evening eating and talking with each other, learning all they could about their housemates.

It was fairly late when they all came to their senses and decided to head for the common room. They did their best to avoid all of the teachers on their way, but Sirius being a clumsy idiot, tripped on a crack in the corridors floor and tumbled out from underneath the invisibility cloak. As soon as Sirius tumbled out, James and Remus told the girls to stay under the invisibility cloak while they make sure Sirius was okay. They both got out from under the cloak and went over to where Sirius was sitting trying not to look to put down, but his dignity was already gone. James and Remus helped Sirius up and they started making their way back to the girls and the cloak, but of course they couldn't see the girls.

"Lily, where are you, Rory and Rhia?" asked James.

"Over here," they heard her whisper.

"That doesn't help Lil," said Sirius.

"POTTER, LUPIN, BLACK! What are you doing roaming around the corridors past curfew?!" Yelled Professor McGonagall running down the corridor toward them. The boys tried to explain themselves but McGonagall wouldn't believe them. "You all have a weeks worth of detentions with me. Report to my classroom at 7:00pm every night of this week. And I'll personally have to walk you to your common rooms to make sure you don't go and cause more trouble."

The girls followed the boys and McGonagall until they were all safely back in the common room. As soon as McGonagall left the girls took the cloak of and let the laughter they held in come out at full force. They laughed so hard that they were crying.

"I don't see why it's so funny," Sirius said.

Rory calmed down enough to tell him, "You guys have detention because Sirius is a clumsy idiot!" After that she started laughing again. After a little while the boys joined in on the laughter. When they all calmed down they said goodnight and went to their seperate dormitories, hoping tomorrow would be just as fun. (did I spell hoping wrong? tell me in a review)

"Uh, guys?" Remus said approaching his friends in the common room. The boys just finished their last day of detentions with McGonagall. The girls were having a 'girls night' as they called it. Sirius said that they could pretend to be girls so that they could coem but the girls just laughed and walked up the stairs out of view.

"Yes, my dear Remus?" Sirius said grinning because he was just about to win against James in a wizard chess game.

"I'm going home this weekend because my mother is really ill." Remus said without looking at his friends. He couldn't look them in the eye when he was lying. He wouldn't tell his friends that he was a werewolf. They wouldn't be his friends anymore if he told them that.

"Oh Remus, is she really sick?" asked James.

"Yes, I'll be gone all weekend,"

"Awww, I wanted to play a prank this weekend Remus!" Sirius whined.

"Sirius, Remus' mum is really sick. Be more considerate. And besides we just got out of detention and you want to pull a prank."

"Yes, I do. And I'm sorry Remus I'm being a prat," Sirius said looking at Remus.

"That's okay,"

"Anyway Sirius, what kind of prank were you thinking of?" asked James.

"Well, I don't know, but I do know that I want to do a prank some time next week after Remus gets back from visiting his mother,"

"Well Remus what do you think of doing a memorable prank after you come back from visiting your mum?" asked James.

"Sure, why not?" Remus said with less enthusiam than he thought he said it with. The full moon normally drained the energy from him and made him tired often.

"For now me and James will start coming up with possible ideas. We'll go over them on Monday evening okay Remus?" asked Sirius.

"Ya, okay,"

On Monday when Remus came back in the morning they all went down to breakfast with the girls. On the way a Slytherin came walking toward them. He didn't watch where he was going and bumped into Lily. She tried to move but wasn't fast enough. They noticed the Slytherin from the sorting. His name was Severus Snape.

"You stupid little girl! Watch where your going! Now I'll have to go wash my robes because they've got Mudblood filth on them," Snape said in a malicious voice.

"You'll pay for that one Snivellus," said Sirius. He shot the first hex that came to his head. Snape stood still from shock at the name he was called. When he finally realized that a hex was headed straight for him it was too late to move. He was hit right in the chest and flew back and hit a wall. By this time they had a crowd forming around them. James was cheering with the rest of the crowd and the girls and Remus just stood there shocked.

Snape stood up and shot a hex at Sirius, but Sirius managed to just barely avoid it. They continued shooting hexes at each other until they were slightly interrupted, but slightly was an understatement.

"BLACK, SNAPE!!!!!" McGonagall yelled at them. "STOP THIS NONSENSE AT ONCE!!!!"

"That's the second time in two weeks my name has been yelled at me like that," Sirius said, part proud and part confused.

"You will both get a warning this time but if it happens again you will serve two weeks of detention with me," McGonagall said then walked away.

"Wow, only a warning, you sure have some luck today Sirius," Rhia said amazed that she didn't give them detention.

"It's not luck, It's skill my dear Rhi," Sirius said.

"Don't call me Rhi and don't inflate your pathetic ego," she retorted.

"We have to get to class guys. We're almost late!" Lily cried and they all ran for there Herbology class.

Once the day was over, the boys retired to their dormitory and shut the door so that they could discuss there plans in private.

"Okay, I have a new plan other than the ones me and James came up with," Sirius said.

"Well mate, spill it already!" James said impatiently.

"We're going to show Snivellus some people skills," Sirius said.

"Where on earth did you get that name?" asked Remus.

"No idea, but it fits him well if I do say so myself," Sirius stated proudly.

"Yes, it does. Now how are we going to prank Snape?" asked James

They spent the remainder of the evening planning what they were going to do. They decided they would do the prank the day after tomorrow.

The next day the boys went down to the Slytherin corridor to peform there prank. They waited for an early riser to come out of the common room and then snuck in. They were wearing the invisibility cloak so no one could see them. They looked around for the door that said First Years: Severus Snape. When they found it they slowly opened the door and snuck in. They went over to Snape's bed and started putting every charm they knew that lasted at least a day on him, and no teacher could remove the spells, at least they hoped no teachers would be able to remove them. Once they were satisfied they went back to their dormitories for another hour of sleep.

When everyone went to the Great Hall that morning no one expected anything to happen but boy were they wrong. When Snape walked in the whole Hall erupted with laughter. Snape had pink hair and makeup on and was wearing a tube top and a mini-skirt with pink high-heels with purple ponies on them and I love Muggle-Borns written in neat writing on the front of the tube top.

Everyone laughed really hard for the next 5 minutes until Snape yelled, "BLACK THIS IS YOUR DOING!!!!!!"

Sirius smiled and yelled over the laughter, "No, it's our doing Snape," He said pointing to himself, James and Remus, who were both incapable of speech.

"BLACK, POTTER, LUPIN YOU HAVE A WEEKS WORTH OF DETENTIONS WITH ME STARTING THIS WEEK. REPORT TO MY CLASSROOM AT 6:30pm FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. THAT IS ALL!!!" McGonagall yelled over the laughter.

"SURE THING MINNIE. IT'S A DATE." Sirius yelled at the top of his lungs. Upon hearing this James and Remus laughed even harder turning purple from laughing so hard.

After the event in the Great Hall and after classes were over that day they had Erik Manwen, the Gryffindor 5th Year Prefect, came up to the three boys in the common room to talk.

"Hey guys!" Erik said.

"Hey to you to Erik," James said.

"Look, me and some other people were talking and we thought if you were going to pull pranks like this often you should have a group name, kind of like your signature you know?"

"That's a great idea!" Sirius said.

"But the real question is what should it be?" Remus stated.

"Come find me when you have a name. I want to be the first to know." Erik said then he left to rejoin his friends.

"How about The James Squad," James said.

"No! How about the Perfect Pranksters," Sirius asked.

"No! How about the Humarous Humans," Remus tried.

"C'mon Remus be a little more creative," James said.

"How about the Wonderful Wizards," Sirius said.

"That is so boring. We need something that has pizzazz," James said.

"Pizzazz? That's a strange word," Sirius stated.

"This id harder than I thought and it's getting late. Let's think some more tomorrow. Okay?" Remus asked partially yawning.

The next day during History of Magic class Remus and James got a note from Sirius.

Sirius: what do you think of the Pink Panthers?

James: for what?

Sirius: for our name you dolt

Remus: don't say dolt that's stupid and no Pink Pathers!

Sirius: you guys need to be more open to my suggestions

James: you need to amke suggestions that don't make us gag!

Sirius: fine I'll think some more

During there Transfiguration class James and Remus got another note from Sirius.

Sirius: what about the Gryffindor Grave Robbers

James: sirius that doesn't paint a pretty picture

Sirius: if you want a pretty picture go get one of the girls to paint you a picture of a pony.

Remus: that was harsh

Sirius: i'm getting frustrated

James: just keep thinking

After classes ended that day the boys still hadn't found a name for themselves. They all went to bed depressed and, in Sirius' case, frustrated. In the middle of the night you could here Sirius tossing and turning in his bed. All of a sudden he bolted up into a sitting position and yelled:

"WE COULD BE THE MARAUDERS!!"

When James and Remus woke up to the yell it took them to comprehend what they said but once they did comprehend it they both said, "That's the one!"

In the morning they went down to the Great Hall for breakfast and tried to find Erik. When they fund him they told him there new name but also told him not to tell anyone else because they wanted to tell them the Marauders' style.

When breakfast was almost over the three boys stood up on top of the Gryffindor table to make a very important announcement.

"Ladies and Gentlemen if we could have your attention it would be greatly appreciated," James started them off.

"We would like to inform you that our group name is going to be the Marauders," Sirius said.

"We will make sure to give you all a humorous time at Hogwarts," Remus said.

Then I'll three of them said, "Our motto is to wreak havoc, cause mayhem, but never endanger students and to keep the normal boring school of teaching a lot more exciting!" They all smiled a broad grin when every table in the Hall burst out in appluase. Evey table except the Slytherin table who loathed the Gryffindors with a strong passion.

Then the Marauders all put there wands together and some fancy writing appeared above the Great Hall saying, "Long live the Maruaders!"
