"LILLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!" James' scream made Sirius jump out of his bed. He then realized.
"MOOOOOOOONNNNNNYYYY!!!!!!" He screamed too...
Peter woke up with a jolt. And he too screamed, "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
In the kitchen, Remus, Lily and Harry sat around the table having breakfast. The moment they heard the screams, wide evil grins spread over their faces and they started laughing their arses off.
Upstairs, James ran over to Sirius' room and the three men were struggling to look at themselves in the mirror, grumbling and cussing under their breath.
Their body was full of fur. Body and face. They looked like apes.
"Oh you're dead meat!" Sirius said through gritted teeth.
"Totally dead meat!" James agreed.
"This is bad!" Peter whined. "Wait for another...six minutes..."
Just like he said, in six minutes, Remus, Lily and Harry, who were laughing their heads off noticed something weird.
"MAAAA!" Harry jumped startled, holding two teeth in his hands. "AHHHH!" he screamed pointing his finger at Remus.
"Noooo!" Lily gasped.
They looked at each other, fear in their eyes.
Their teeth were falling off.
Their lives are nothing without a prank war.
Every last Saturday is a prank day. But the thing is...there would never be a winner.
Harry always got torn between the two teams. They finally came up with a solution. He could choose the team he'd want to be with. Clever Harry always teamed up with 'Mum and Moomy' and 'Dad, Dadfoot and Wormy' alternatively. But whatever team he chose, he had it bad.
He got stuck in a toilet.
He woke up completely bound in spellotape.
He got attacked by his toys.
He went bald.
He got a tail.
He spent a day scratching.
He quacked like a duck for a whole day. He even got into trouble for that.
A never ending list.
James, Sirius and Peter were always sneaky and mischievous. They are dangerous.
But, Lily and Remus are cleverer. They two make a deadly team.
And both the teams are very competitive.
The thing was, the pranks never repeat, and are usually their inventions - the joke products. The trail and error method was always on the other team.
This time, it was "Shiny Cascades" and "Pearly Whites" potions.
A single drop of "Shiny Cascades" would make someone's hair grow abnormally all over their body, and "Pearly Whites" would make someone's teeth fall off. Just one drop of these potions in their drink or food would do the magic which would last for 24hours.
The pranks wouldn't stop with one. Never.
*Before another prank*
Remus : You know, this is a good plan. A very good one. Nothing could go wrong.
Lily : Yeah (grinning. I want to see the look on their faces)
(30minutes later, Lily, Remus and Harry were locked outside the house, wandless, in their pajamas)
Lily : I think we agreed that this was...
Harry : A very good plan.
Remus : Well, this is just... slightly uncomfortable. But this couldn't get any worse, could it?
(It starts raining after 5minutes)
Remus : I... I think I'm going to shut up now.
Lily and Harry : You should.
But after 10minutes, wide evil grins spread over their faces. Because, the whole house started flooding and they could hear James, Sirius and Peter screaming.
Harry clapped his hands jumping when he saw a large fish through the window.

When Molly Weasley asked Remus Lupin if he could tutor her kids Bill and Charlie who were in their fourth and second year at Hogwarts, whenever he has some free time, Remus was more than happy. So were the others. Now, Harry could visit The Burrow frequently and play with the other kids.
Fabian, Gideon, James and Sirius were only allowed to meet the twins Fred and George on one condition, "Never ever mention a prank or give the boys any prank things" or Molly would chase them out of the house with a whip, because Bill and Charlie are not as innocent as they seem to be. They agreed. But of course they were never the ones to follow rules.
"Could...could you teach me how to play the drums?" Bill asked James one evening when they were visiting The Burrow, during Christmas.
"Of course. Sure. But it's your OWLs year and Molly would kill me," James laughed.
"You're right," Bill chuckled. "How about in the summer?"
"Summer is great!" James grinned.
"So, how's school?" Sirius asked.
"Great," Bill grinned. "Waiting for the annual Hunger Games."
"Ah, I wish we had it when we were at school," Sirius smiled.
"It's a great idea though. Bringing all the kids together. The Slytherins could be a pain in the arse in beginning but it's cool when they calm down. They're... quite helpful," Bill smiled.
"I still can't believe Dumbledore took such a mad decision," Fabian joined the conversation.
"We had a chance to see how the first Hunger Games went. It was an uproar in the beginning," Gideon added.
"It still is. Most parents still don't like it," Fabian said.
"Yeah. Mum doesn't like it either," Bill nodded. "But dad's loves the idea. He says though it's a bit brutal, it teaches kids to understand the most important things in life."
"Well, it always boggles me that Dumbledore comes up with such intelligent but mental ideas," Gideon laughed.
"He's been off his rocker since ages!" Fabian laughed.
Sirius and James looked at each other. They know it wasn't Dumbledore's idea.
"William Weasley!" Molly shrieked. "Come and help me!"
"We're not spoiling him, Molly!" Gideon laughed and others joined in.
"Sirius, James," Arthur nudged them. "Could you come with me for a moment?"
They did. They three walked out of the house and towards the shed.
"You see, I found this beauty last month," Arthur grinned. "It took me all these days to bring her home. Molly would kill me of she finds out."
"Arthur, if you're talking about a new girlfriend, I must agree with you. Molly would kill... us all," James said.
"What?" Arthur looked bewildered. "No! No. Well, you could call her a girlfriend I guess," he smiled looking at Sirius.
James and Sirius shared a confused look.
"Now, here," Arthur opened the door and flicked his wand to turn on the light.
And Sirius and James stopped in their tracks looking at the said girlfriend in awe and Arthur grinned from ear to ear.
"Arthur! She's beautiful!" James said running over to her. "Though she needs a bit of touch up."
"Finally!" Sirius smiled. "Where did you find her?"
"In a scrapyard," Arthur shrugged.
They three looked at her. She was a light blue Ford Anglia 105E Deluxe.
"Well, what do you think?" Arthur asked. "Only you two are interested in Muggle vehicles. And what you did with that motorcycle of yours is amazing."
"Woah, Arthur. You need to slow down, mate."
"And careful too," a voice interrupted them.
"Moony," Sirius smirked.
"You should close the door when it's something secretive," Remus nodded at the car. "So, this is it. You finally got it."
"Yeah," Arthur grinned.
"It's beautiful."
"We'll start working on it soon," Sirius nodded.
"This baby is getting a major makeover," James smiled.
"Don't let Molly hear that," Remus smiled. "I don't think she'd like it."
"Yes. Let's go back before she comes to find us," Arthur said nervously.
"Well, about that. She's looking for you. You should hurry," Remus said.
"I don't understand you married couples. You fear your wives," Sirius laughed.
"Because you should," James shrugged.
"Oh, wait till you get married. You'll know why," Arthur said.
"Hear hear!" James and Remus agreed.
Arthur turned off the light, locked the garage and they walked back into the house chatting away about Muggle things.
