So, today's Holi, and I'm not playing so I thought I'd do this. Even though it makes absolutely no sense, but hey, it's something *shrugs*
And yes, in India, we randomly throw water balloons at strangers from our balconies/terrace/houses/streets. 'Tis the fun.
Enjoy!

"Er, Padfoot, don't you think you're being a little ambitious there?" James asked pointedly, looking at his best friend, who was currently sporting a lecherous grin worthy of his animagus form.
He also had a fistful of brightly wrapped condoms in his hand. Taken out of a complimentary bowl in a muggle public restroom.
The two dark haired boys had decided to venture out into the muggle world one fine day, being bored out of their wits during the Summer break. During their exploration, they turned into one of the shadier allies of the city, and found, much to Sirius' delight, that almost every public restroom had complimentary condom bowls. Or, dis-pen-ser as it was called.
Sirius' glee at making such a discovery still hadn't lessened after an hour.
In the present, however, said boy turned to look at James, an innocent look on his face, "What're you talking about, mate? I'm not being ambitious at all."
"Yeah, I don't think you're gonna need uh 20 separate condoms for one nights, Pads," James deadpanned.
"Au contraire," Sirius grinned, "I think that's exactly what I need."
"I think I'm gonna stay far away from this situation, yes?" James slowly started inching away from his creepily smiling buddy, "I'll just be home, sipping on some hot chocolate while you...do your thing."
Sirius smirked.
When James told Sirius that he was gonna home, he'd only said 'like hell you are' and surprised him with a Side-Along Apparition. When he had gotten his bearings, and felt like he wasn't going to throw up, he realized that they were on a terrace.
Well if you could call a space small enough to barely sleep on, from where you could see the sky, a terrace.
"Why'd you bring me here, Pads?" James had scowled at him.
"Just you wait, young Prongs, just you wait."
And with that, Sirius had taken out his wand, stretched a single condom between his index finger and thumb, and muttered 'Aguamenti'. James could only watch, with his mouth slightly open, as a very gentle stream of water started flowing into the outstretched latex, filling it nice and big until he was left with a decent sized water balloon (water condom?) resting in his palm.
"Ready to attack some unsuspecting poor sods?" A wicked grin lit up Sirius' handsome face as he placed the filled condoms in a conjured container and started filling more.
"You-I-Wh-?" James could only stutter in disbelief. This was definitely what he did not expect when Sirius swiped a handful of condoms.
"Oh come on, don't tell me you forgot!" his best mate's eyes turned to him, widened in disbelief. When he still remained clueless, he continued, "Remember Rani told us about Holi? That festival where everyone throws colors and water at each other? Ring a bell?"
Realization dawned on James' face at those words and his mouth formed an 'O' shape," Oooooooh, yeah, I do I do. She talked about how people throw water balloons at random people on the street. Is that what you're trying to recreate here?"
"Nuh uh," Sirius waggled a finger in his face, "That's what we're trying to recreate here."
Before James could even shoot him an exasperated look, Sirius said smugly, "Bet you're happy I dragged you along now, eh?"
James grumbled under his breath, but couldn't stop his lips from twitching. After all, he couldn't deny that.
