After Sirius and Remus left we all headed back to Marauder Headquarters. As soon as we closed the door Hermione pulled out her wand and lit a fire in the fireplace.
"Burr," said Ginny, "I know its not cold out really, but having it snow just makes it feel like it is really cold out. Don't you agree?"
"Yes," we all said
"Why don't we spend the night here?" said Hermione
"Good idea," I said, "Seeing as in the Gryffindor Tower it will be snowing like mad, and here is comfy cozy with not a hint of snow around."
"We better seal the door so no snow or water seeps in through the cracks while we are sleeping," said Hermione
"Good idea," said Harry
Hermione and Harry went to seal the door, but Ron said, "Don't we need sleeping bags or something if we are going to spend the night here?"
"No, we're fine," said Hermione
"Are you sure?" asked Ron
"What to you mean am I sure I'm sure. Of course I'm sure. Who do you think I am?" snapped Hermione
"Okay never mind," said Ron and he turned and sat on the couch
Hermione and Harry proceeded to seal the door.
After they finished the door Hermione turned and conjured five sleeping bags.
"Wow, you can conjure?" said Ginny
"Of course I can," said Hermione
"Wow, that's really advanced," said Ginny
"I know," replied Hermione
Everyone sat down on the couches and Harry grabbed The Marauder's Prank book and started to read from it. They took turns reading and finally after Ginny fell asleep sitting on the couch everyone retired to their sleeping bags.
The next morning we woke up and opened the door. The
snow was up to their waists and it was no where near stopping. The five friends headed up to the Gryffindor Common Room to grab their cloaks, boots, scarves and gloves and then they went down to the Great Hall for breakfast, but as soon as they walked into the Great Hall they knew something was wrong. The 4 long house tables were missing. After closer inspection we found that the 4 long tables were buried under 3 feet of snow.
"Well I think that cancels the idea of eating," said Hermione
"Let's go down to the kitchen and get the house elves to give us some food and then we can go and eat at the booth in Marauder's Headquarters," said Ron
"You know how to get into the kitchen?" said as surprised Hermione, "Isn't that against the rules to go into the kitchen?"
"Probably but everyone does it and nobody gets caught," said Ron
"Well then if it's against the rules we shouldn't do it," said Hermione
"Come on Hermione, you're a Marauder remember, it's easiest if you just stop worrying," said Harry.
"Fine, let's go. I'm hungry," said Hermione
"Thank you Mione," said Ron
And we then turned and headed towards the kitchen.
We walked down the corridor and Ron tickled the green pear and the door appeared and we walked into the kitchen. As soon as we stepped through the door 4 house elves ran up to as and pulled us over to some chairs. They sat us down and the one on the right squeaked, "What can I do for you? Dilly at your service."
"Oh, thanks Dilly," said Ron, "Well since the Great Hall is snowed out can we get some breakfast to go?"
"Of course the kind sir can have some food, but weren't you the ones that started the snow storm in the castle?" asked Dilly
"Well technically it wasn't our idea. It was Sirius Black's idea but we did help," replied Ron
"Wow, Sirius Black, my mother always talked about him and how he always came down into the kitchen when he was at Hogwarts with his friends and his girlfriends in his last year of Hogwarts. Do you know them?" asked the house elf
"Well yes," I said, "Sirius Black is mine and Harry's Godfather," I pointed at Harry, "and James Potter and Lily Evans are our parents."
"Well it is a pleasure to be in your presents. I'm sorry about your parents," said Dilly, "Although I never knew them, from the stories my Mama told me she said they were pranksters at school but they had an amazing heart and were great Witches and Wizards once they left Hogwarts."
"Why thank you," I said
"I have to get back to work now. Never hesitate to come down and get something to eat. The kitchen is always open to the kids of Lily and James Potter and their friends," the elf walked off and the elves that had greeted them walked up with platters of food.
"Here you are," said the elves
"Thank you," Ginny and she grabbed the trays that they had. There were 5 trays in total. Each tray had bacon, eggs, toast, hashbrowns and a cup of orange juice.
"Oh, I hate to ask," said Ron
"Anything," said the house elves
"Well to you have any of those chocolate covered éclairs?" he asked
"Of course we do," said the house elves and the house elves ran and came back with a large plate of éclairs.
"When you are done with the trays and plates you don't have to bring them back. We will come and get them tonight. Just leave them in a classroom or in your Common Room. Do you need anything else?"
"No I think we are fine. Thanks for everything," said Harry
We headed towards the door and the house elves followed us. After leaving the kitchen we headed back to Marauder's Headquarters. The corridors were surprisingly empty but who can blame everyone with it snowing inside and they had nowhere to go to escape the snow but outside where it was still pretty warm out. We were lucky enough to have a room that no prank worked on. Thank the Marauders for that. We finished our breakfast and lounged around in MH for the rest of the day, only leaving to go get more food and to use the bathroom. By night there was 4 ½ feet of snow.
The next morning we woke up and the snow was almost to the top of the door. Harry and Ron dug us a tunnel so we could get out.
Classes were cancelled until the snow melted because it was impossible to keep books, parchment and quills from getting wrecked and the teachers couldn't get teach with everything buried under snow.
The Marauders had done it again. They had stopped life at Hogwarts for the time being.
By night the to get around in the corridors you either had to use a melting spell to get a path but that didn't work that well because then in the middle of the snow there would be a stream. So people just crawled between the snow and the roof. Hedwig and Lils had found refuge in MH because the owlery was full of snow also. I sent a letter off to Sirius telling him that all was going well with the prank and that by tomorrow the snow would start to melt and the whole school would be under water. I also said that classes were cancelled because of the snow. I sent the letter with Lils and then I went to bed.
People were sleeping in the Great Hall because the roof was high and they could sleep on top of the snow. Nobody could sleep in their dorms because there was only about 2 feet of space between the ceiling and the top of the snow. Some people had even gone and grabbed sleeping bags and slept outside. The teachers had no way to stop the snow, or what would tomorrow me a lake inside the castle. That was the magic of the Marauders, nobody new except them how to reverse it. Well maybe Dumbledore could but he never did. He was always good and just let everything unfold.
