Okay, so this one is a little different, it's just about them pulling a prank and it's a little boring.(Sorry) But next chapter should be more interesting! Please review and give your feedback! Thanks!
Over the next few weeks, the 4 first year Gryffindor boys had mostly normal days, or as normal as you can get at Hogwarts. It was the day before the last day of September, and the 4 boys were getting ready for bed in their dorm.
"Guys, I was thinking, since it's the last day of our first month tomorrow, we should end it in style." Sirius says, a grin on his face.
"Yeah? What're thinking?" asks Remus absentmindedly.
"Are you sure about this? It seems...mean." says Remus, fidgeting nervously.
"Remus, chill out. We've been here for a month, we haven't done anything too mean, so that makes up for this." Sirius replies.
"Well...okay. Just, don't get me in trouble, I'm worried about enough stuff." replies Remus.
James snorted. "Like what? Homework?"
Remus flushed, and saying hastily, "Never mind, nothing."
"Okay, where is Peter with the rest of the books?"
"Right here." puffs Peter, looking like he was pretending to carry a large sack of something. James grabs the invisible load, muttering "About time" and opening it. Inside revealed a load of shrunken books.
"Okay, Peter, you're sure this is all of the books?"
"Positive." he replied.
"All right, lets go, and hurry."
"Wait, how are we supposed to get into the Ravenclaw Tower? We need the password."
"Aw Remus, you're such a doubter. You really think we haven't got that figured out?" says James.
"The Ravenclaws don't have a password. You need to answer a riddle to get in."
At that point, they had reached the wall that concealed the entrance. On the wall was a silver knocker in the shape of an eagle. Peter reached up and pulled it.
"Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?"
All three boys looked to Remus. He looked faintly annoyed before answering.
"A circle has no beginning."
The door swung forward and they ran through hastily.
"Wait, what if there are Ravenclaws still in the common room?"
"Of course there won't be, you dolt! It's 3 in the morning."
They placed all of the books down on the floor, and returned them to almost normal size, but not completely normal size, because they wouldn't have fit.
"Okay, we have to first put the Speaking Charm on them first, and then make them fly around." says James. "Oh, and Peter, go stand by the door and hold it open, because as soon as we charm the books, we're going to have to run."
They did the Speaking Charm first, and suddenly, the air was full of the shouts of "NERDS! NERDS!"
"Hurry!" said Remus frantically. They did the flying charm, and had to duck as the books suddenly flew up the staircases, around the chairs, and up to the ceiling. They could all hear the sudden thundering of Ravenclaws coming running down the stairs.
"Run!"
All three boys ran to the door, joined Peter, and sprinted back to their own common room. Once safely hidden where they belonged, they burst into laughter, thinking about how long it would take to get all of the books back and under control.
The next morning the boys woke up, then remembering what that did last night, burst into laughter again. They went downstairs, preparing to act as though they knew nothing about what happened and were still laughing. When they got to the bottom step, though, they stopped abruptly because they had just walked into Professor McGonnegal and she looked furious.
"Boys." she said in a clipped voice. "The Headmaster wants to see you." They followed her out of the common room and down into a corridor they knew all too well lead to the Headmaster's office. They reached a stone wall guarded by two stone gargoyles.
"Chocolate Frogs" she said, and they sprang to life and jumped aside. The stone wall opened and they walked through onto a moving spiral staircase. At the top they reached a smooth oak door with a brass knocker shaped like a griffin. McGonnegal knocked on it loudly. A deep voice from within the room said, "Enter." McGonnegal pulled in the door and they walked in. Dumbledore sat behind his desk, looking faintly amused with the situation. The portraits of previous headmasters on the wall were all sleeping, but James knew better and could see them opening an eye to see what was going on every now and then. Dumbledore drew up 5 chairs with his wand and said "Sit down." All four boys sat down, but Professor McGonnegal remained standing. She looked as though she was about to burst with angry thoughts.
"I have never been more ashamed by Gryffindors! Not only did you steal books from the library, which Madam Pince is very stressed about, you bewitched them to attack other students. I cannot believe that anyone of you could do such a thing! It is despicable, it is repulsive, it is..." But, she apparently ran out of things it was, because she finally sat down in her chair with a huff. To James' and his friends' shock, Dumbledore smiled.
"I'm sorry, Professor, but what on Earth do you have to be smiling about?" snapped McGonnegal.
"I merely wanted to congratulate the boys on such fine magic at their age, although I do agree it was wrong to do it and punishment is deserved, but I will leave that with you, Minerva." he added, inclining his head in Professor McGonnegal's direction.
"I think a week's detention, 20 points from Gryffindor each, and a letter home to your parents is fair. No, don't look at me like that,Potter, you deserve it." For James had stared at her in horror at their punishments.
"You may go now." They all got up and hastily walked out of the room.
"Great, my mum's going to go ballistic!" complained James.
"So will my folks," said Sirius, "but when have I ever cared what they thought?"
"My mum won't care, it's only House points." piped up Peter.
"I just can't believe I still got in trouble." said Remus angrily, punching Sirius.
