Chapter ten: All Hallows Eve
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000
During dinner that night the marauders talked in hushed whispers, they wanted to plan before they said anything to the girls, just to confirm. Remus being the prefect that he was, had to prank sometimes, he just couldn't help it especially with who he was friends with.
After agreeing and confirming everything from the date it was to take place, to where, to when, to how; they decided to tell the girls part of their plan.
"Ok ladies, we aren't going to tell you exactly what is going to happen, but we do have a job for you to do, and we will tell you when and where." Sirius smirked, Sienna groaned at this because she had so wanted to help.
"We have done almost every prank known to man kind, or at least wizard kind, but this is one we have not done yet. The prank is to take place on the night of All Hallows Eve, or Halloween for those of you who don't understand spooky talk." James laughed at his own joke then continued arrogantly.
"It will happen during dinner, and may I say the Slytherins will be in for quite a surprise. Anyways that is beside the point; we need you to do a timed transfiguration charm on the applesauce so at exactly the right time it will turn into mud." James looked around innocently, to see the girl's reactions.
Sienna was fuming she was so furious, Lily seemed fairly calm and relaxed, Kat looked a slight bit irritated, Alice was busy in her own little world dreaming about Frank, and Natasha just looked plain confused.
They walked back and did their homework. Charms was particularly tough, they had to practice bending things. "Doblado" they would practically shout out of irritation, yet the objects they had been practicing with stayed the same, straight.
Lily, being the perfectionist that she was worked late into the night, until all of her friends had left except James. She chanced a glance at her wrist watch, it was past midnight. She yawned, stretched, then got up.
She walked over to James, pushed his piece of parchment off of his lap and sat down. She kissed him passionately. Then broke away from this kiss, by that time they were pretty much horizontal.
She whispered "James, will you go to the Halloween party with me?" He just kissed her as an answer.

At breakfast Sirius and Siena were contentedly stuffing their faces. Everyone else just rolled their eyes at their friends' hunger. Life was so good and each group had found a new group of friends that made life a lot more fun.
"Hey Lily" came a voice that belonged to Natasha.
"Hey what" she replied playfully.
"Who are you taking to Slughorn's party?" she asked.
"Well I was thinking that I would take James" she chanced a glance over at the messy haired boy and he just beamed in response.
"What are you two smirking at? Did we miss something?" Asked Sirius.
"Oh Sirius, if only you knew" and with that the bell rang and they all had to scurry to get to class on time.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Halloween came a lot sooner then they thought it would, it sort of just crept up on them, almost as a little sister does when she is trying to scare her older siblings, but is failing miserably. They all knew that it was coming and that it would arrive soon, but they had no idea just how soon.
Classes were frightfully boring throughout that day, because they all were so excited in anticipation both for the wonderful prank that they had been planning and working hard on, and in Lily and James's case they were excited for Slughorn's party.
Slowly but surely the evening crept up on them. Lily and James would attend dinner, but in their dress robes, and then they would promptly leave at eight.
The nine friends talked and had fun while the marauders kept checking their wristwatches, in apprehension as to when dinner would start. Earlier that day the girls had transfigured the applesauce to turn into mud at exactly the right time.
After classes had finished the five friends hurried up to their dormitory to help Lily get dressed. Lily pulled on her silky lavender dress. She admired her reflection in the mirror; The low cut v neck, with flowing, tullie sleeves, and the slant cut bodice. She put on her violet lace up high heels and walked out of the bathroom to show her friends.
They all gave words of praise saying how beautiful she looked and how smitten James would be when he saw her. Kat volunteered to do her makeup and hair.
They headed back into the bathroom and Kat started dusting a light pink eye shadow accentuate her gorgeous emerald green eyes. Next Kat gave her a sunkissed look by brushing on blush, but all over. Then she applied the mascara and light eyeliner to bring out her eyes just a little bit more. Finally she finished off the makeup look with a slightly tinted vanilla flavored lip gloss.
Then Kat went to work on her long mane of deep auburn red hair. She did a spell so that Lily's hair would cascade down her back in loose curls. She put a small purple butterfly flip on one side to hold back her hair and also to make the look more finished.
Kat was very into hair and makeup; she spent at least an hour doing her hair and makeup on a daily basis. She was always the one everyone went to if they were in a fashion crisis.
They exited the bathroom and the rest of the girls stared in awe at how beautiful Lily looked, she was ready to face the world of Hogwarts.
She stepped out of the girls dormitory and into the common room. She heard a few whistles and as James turned around she got to the bottom of the stairs. She looked radiant and beautiful in the light and for a moment, James was unable to speak, the dress accentuated Lily's curves perfectly. Lily walked elegantly towards him and they embraced in passion. When they had separated, still holding each other, James said "ooh, vanilla, my favorite" at which Lily giggled and others whistled.
Lily took a deep breath and took in James' appearance, he looked exceedingly handsome in his velvet black dress robes and an untidy tie gave him a both bad boy but very sexy look at the same time.
Hand in hand, with smirks on their faces, they glided of to dinner in the Great Hall. They were looking forward to the mischief making that was to happen. They sat surrounded by their best friends in the world. The great hall was decorated elaborately; jack-o'-lanterns hung in the air by magic and there were spider webs everywhere to give the hall a decorated, but eerie look.
The Halloween feast was delicious, roast pork with applesauce and green beans, the pork was a traditional whole pig with an apple in its mouth. There was also an assortment of breads and salads and pastas. It was a feast fit for a king. Mid way through the meal James looked at his wristwatch and signaled for the girls to look over at the Slytherin table. At first nothing happened but then suddenly the pigs on the Slytherin table jumped up.
The applesauce promptly turned to a deep brown color that only the marauders and the girls knew was mud. Then the pigs jumped in it, covering all of the Slytherins in the deep brown substance. After the pigs had gotten their mud bath they got up and started singing and dancing the Macarena.
Their song went a little something like this:
For we are pigs and that is true, but Slytherin's stink even more then we do!
Their vulgar taste in forest green robes just goes to show that they have many woes;
Because many of the guys can't even get a girlfriend,
Probably because of their bad fashion sense.
Snape is slimy and ugly too so we call him Snivellus because it fits him well and the grease on his nose covers his books because he is blue, and all Malfoy can do is brag and make a
hullabaloo.
Bellatrix and Narcissa are stupid and blonde, true to the jokes; their taste in men is almost as
Bad as their folks!
Travers is ugly and fat and looks everything like a rat, Nott is ugly too but is scrawny and
looks very sad and blue!
We as pigs feel sorry for these people, who live in dungeons just like rats and should never be
Treated as equals.
The pigs kept singing and dancing the Macarena which soon turned into the electric slide. As a finale the sopranos went as high as possible and the baritones went very low.
The group burst out laughing at the ferocious looks on the Slytherin's mud drenched faces, the rest of the hall applauded them. James, Sirius, Peter, and Remus all stood up and bowed; McGonagall came up behind them and led them away to find out their punishment which was surely to be detention.
Soon after the marauders came back grinning "McGonagall only gave us one detention next Friday, mostly because she thought it was brilliant, and she said she really enjoyed the song." Sirius practically sang triumphantly.
Lily kissed James but soon burst out laughing "whoever made up that song sounded like a five year old" she laughed again. James grinned sheepishly but replied "that was the point, we were trying to make it sound cheesy, just so it would be even better."
As soon as the clock struck eight Lily and James headed towards the dungeon when realization came over Lily "Oh my gosh, James, you just insulted Slughorn's house, he might not be so welcoming towards you…" James just laughed and told her that he really didn't care and that he just wanted to have a lot of fun, and with that they headed into a large room that was set off for the party.
"Lily so good to see you" came a booming voice that everyone knew to be Slughorn's, he positively beamed at her.
"So good to see you to professor" Lily replied politely but couldn't help smiling in spite of herself "And James, what a fantastic joke, even I had a little laugh over it, for I know it was all in good fun" Slughorn smiled at Lily's guest pleasantly, while Lily and James shared knowing looks.
"This is a really nice party" Lily exclaimed excitedly.
"I agree, I really like the decorations, they are almost as good as the ones in the great hall" James replied.
The room was painted black and had magnificent jack-o'-lanterns everywhere, and there were spider webs with huge actual spiders on them which Lily shuddered at because she absolutely despised spiders because they were so big and ugly and she thought that no animal should be able to walk with eight legs. The chairs had something that looked scarily like blood smeared across them to give the furniture a spooky vibe. Professor Slughorn had done an absolutely magnificent job.
The rest of the party was spent making polite conversation with the rest of the slug club members and their dates. The Slytherins were still drenched in the mud because they hadn't had enough time to go to their dormitories and change and not be late. The mud was starting to dry and become cracked, and whenever they walked by James and Lily their eyes shot daggers at the happy couple.
They each became happily drunk on butterbeer, but not so drunk that they couldn't walk straight or anything, and someone had spiked the punch with Fire Whisky so that helped a little with the effects of the butterbeer.
James led Lily into a darkened corner of the room for a snog session. Before they knew it the giant clock struck ten and they had to head back to Gryffindor tower. When they got back they found that their friends had been patiently waiting for them.
"Ugg, we have been waiting for you the whole night, I am beyond boredom!" Sienna cried with exasperation and impatience. "We need to do something fun, because I don't know about the rest of you but I am bored out of my mind" she continued.
"I have an idea! Lets play truth or dare!" exclaimed Sirius who was equally bored as Sienna. And so the group agreed to play. They each placed a truth charm over themselves, not as strong as veritaserum but they didn't need that strong, because they had such a great trust between them.
"Ok, I want to start!" Sienna said excitedly, because this was exactly her sort of game.
"Remus truth or dare?" She asked happily, he thought for a moment then decided "Dare", Sienna grinned mischievously then announced "Ok Remus you have the task of putting on this dress" and she conjured the ugliest putrid pink dress known to man kind with frills and fluff, it was skimpy and showy which made it all the more funny "Then you have to go find McGonagall and propose."
Remus put on the ugly dress and walked outside of the common room, about ten minutes later he returned with bright red cheeks. "How do we know you did it?" asked Natasha who was sometimes a little slow, but laughed all the same at the sight of her boyfriend in a dress "Well he color of my cheeks should be enough" he replied. They accepted his answer and moved on.
"Lily truth or dare?" Remus asked her, and she immeaditly answered "dare" "ok then, I dare you to kiss Kat" she gaped at him but walked over to Kat and put her hands on her neck then kissed her. Just for show they started making out and after about five minutes broke away.
James gaped at her, his girlfriend had just made out with a girl, and she was smirking at him. Then she walked over and started making out with him which comforted him a lot. "You do know that that was only a joke right James, because you are the only one for me?" Lily whispered and he just smiled into her lips.
Next Lily dared James to go up to a Slytherin prefect and declare his undying love for her. James did so and Lily watched, and was barely able to suppress her giggles. Did he really look that dorky when he did it to her?
James asked Sirius "truth or dare?" and to everyone's surprise he picked truth. "Ok Sirius what is your most embarrassing moment?" Sirius thought for a moment then replied "Well when I was about thirteen I was walking by Miss Lillian here when… I got a boner, it was pretty bad" Lily looked shocked, and James stared at his best friend with disgust on his face and almost looked like he wanted to punch him. "Don't worry James, I have absolutely no feelings for your girlfriend at all, there is someone else I have my eye on.
"My turn!" Sirius said with excitement "Ok Sienna truth or dare?" and for the second time that night they were shocked by someone's answer "Truth" Sirius smiled devilishly, took a deep breath and asked "Are you a virgin?"
She paused, looked him straight in the eye and answered "I'm…"
