Chapter Two: A new year filled with pranks

­­­­­­­­­­­­"Welcome back students, to another wonderful year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I trust that you all have had time to relax and have fun over the summer." said Professor Dumbledore with a smile. "As always the Forbidden Forest like its name is forbidden and I would suggest that no one enter it unless they wish to die a most painful death." He looked at the marauders as he said this. "There is also a list of items that Mr. Filch would like to remind all of you that have been banned to the school, that are on the door to his office. Let the sorting begin!"

All of the first years looked very nervous throughout this speech and were now wearing looks of true terror on their faces. Professor McGonagall placed an old battered looking hat on a three legged stool and it started to sing.

A thousand years or more ago

When I was newly sewn

Four wizards had a dream to build a school that was of great renown

But they argued for they each had many different values

So they ended up deciding to have four different houses

For what each valued most.

For Gryffindor's favorites were the ones who were quite brave,

And Hufflepuff valued those who were loyal and could take secrets to the grave.

For Ravenclaw liked those who had smarts and always did their best,

By Slytherin the ones who had cunning and could do evil were favored among the rest.

When living they were able to pick their favorites from the throng,

But who would pick once they were dead and gone?

It was Gryffindor, who pulled me off his head,

He put some brains in me, so I could do the sorting instead.

I have not been wrong once in all the while

So don't be scared, I don't bite and I promise I'm not vile.

I'll scan your brain for the talent you possess

So try me on and I promise that in your house you will much progress.

The great hall burst out clapping. Then Professor McGonagall pulled out a long piece of parchment that undoubtedly had all the names of the first years on it, and started reading.

"Adams, Sandra" and a nervous little girl with straight blonde hair walked up to the chair nervously. "RAVENCLAW!" yelled the hat and Sandra bounded down to the Ravenclaw table where everyone was clapping.

"Brooke, Connor" a boy with messy brown hair walked up to the hat with no nervousness at all it seemed "Slytherin!" with a smile he walked over to the Slytherin table and couldn't help grinning.

The sorting went on until at last finally. "Zingley, Andrea" who was sorted into Gryffindor.

"Now I know you are all hungry so let's eat!" Dumbledore smiled then returned to the staff table. Food suddenly appeared on all the tables, magically.

Chicken, Pork, Beef, Bread, Pasta, Salad… every food imaginable appeared in front of them, and all of them dove in, eating absolutely as much as possible, as if they would die if they didn't eat.

They kept eating and friendly conversations of "I haven't seen you all summer how are you?" and "I love your new hair color did you do it or did you get it done in Diagon Alley?" and so on and so forth was what you could hear among all the tables even among the staff table.

Then suddenly the food disappeared, and instead came tons of desserts.

"Dumbledore I'm a growing boy, you don't expect that that's all I can eat, I'm not even close to full!" Sirius complained loudly, and the whole hall with the exception of the Slytherins started sniggering.

"Sirius there is plenty of dessert to fill up on. I really don't think that you will go hungry tonight. And besides I don't think I have ever heard you complain when there is sugar on the table." said Dumbledore with a wink.

Every one continued eating, until they were full to the brim and groggy, even Sirius was full… only because he filled up on treacle tart. Everyone went up to bed and fell almost straight asleep.

James and Sirius were looking over their schedules the next morning.

"Aw man! I have a double block of divination this afternoon!" exclaimed Sirius. "Chill Sirius, I do too. At least we are together." said James.

"Hey James wanna play a prank on Lily and her friends?" Sirius whispered to James with wide eyes and a smirk on his face. "Why Sirius that is one of the best ideas you've had this term!" said James happily. They told Remus and Peter, and then they started brainstorming for a good prank to play.

"We could stick dung bombs under their chairs." Suggested Sirius "Naw we already did that in 3rd year" said Remus. "I have an idea! Why don't we use the coloring potion and color their room a totally gross color, like say pukey green!" "Brilliant!" "Remus you are so smart!"

So they started working on the potion, it only took a little while to make so that night crept out of their own dormitory and immobilized the staircase to the girls dormitory and snuck in. All they had to do was set off a Silent Firecracker that was inside the coloring potion so it would go everywhere, which they got at Zonko's joke shop. And then creep back out, it was fool proof.

So that's what they did. And they awoke the next morning to screams, and they smiled and shared a silent agreement. Mission accomplished!

They shared a room with two other guys by the name of Arthur Weasley and Frank Longbottom. Arthur and Frank were best friends, but they a lot of time would help the marauders with some pranks.

They boys were getting dressed when Sienna burst into the room fuming. "SIRIUS BLACK AND JAMES POTTER AND HELL, ALL YOU MARAUDERS, I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" "Relax Sienna they coloration will go away within the next five days guaranteed!" "Five days, Sirius that's a really long time, and it's an EXTREEMLY ugly color!" She stalked out of the room, and the boys couldn't help it and started laughing.

They were eating their breakfast when a certain red headed girl walked up behind James. "James I can't believe you, why did you do it, what have I ever done to you?" Lily asked with disgust in her voice. "Believe me you and the marauders will regret what you did, my friends and I have a plan that will make you regret the day you started to pull pranks and mess with us!" She started to walk off when James asked probably for the thousandth time "Lily will you go out with me?" "NO JAMES POTTER NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS WILL I GO OUT WITH YOU, EVEN IF IT'S A CHOICE BETWEEN YOU AND THE GIANT SQUID!" and with that she stomped off.

Lily was right; the marauders were going to regret the day that they messed with them!
