Alice woke up the next morning and took Nicky out of her crib and carried her down to the common room where Lindsy, Jen and Amanda were already there.
"Good morning," Alice said. "Are any of the guys up yet?"
"Sirius' is still sleeping," Lindsy said as she finished feeding Tyler.
"Same with Remus," Jen said.
"Peter too. I swear all that boy does is eat and sleep," Amanda said rolling her eyes.
"Frank's still asleep too, what say we wake them up," Alice said smirking.
"What do you have planned?" Jen asked.
"Well they think we are innocent right?" Alice asked.
"All but James and he's not here, so let's hear this plan of yours," Lindsy said. She loved pranks.
"James not being here is a huge part of my plan. First we are going to charm their hair into a bright pink Mohawk and then we charm a bucket with cold water to float above their heads until we are safely down here with babies in our arms so it looks like we haven't moved and then the ice water falls on them."
Lindsy smirked and said, "I love it. I'm in."
"Me too," Jen said. "Amanda?"
"Sure why not, I've never pranked anyone before," Amanda said shrugging her shoulders.
Lindsy smirked and said, "Hang out with us long enough and you'll come to love pranks."
"Won't we get in trouble?" Amanda asked.
Alice let out a laugh and said, "Nope, because the teachers will never expect that it was us girls who did it. They blame it on the Marauders."
"It's nice having my brother as a fall guy," Lindsy said.
"How close are you and James?" Amanda asked.
"We tell each other almost everything," Lindsy said.
"Yes, yes, you two are close, now what's say we get on with the plan," Alice said.
"Alright, let's go," Lindsy said and the four of them went upstairs and took care of the boys.
Once they had everything in place the girls took their places on the couches and picked up their babies and started to feed them. Together they said the words that would made the buckets fall on the boys.
"WHAT THE HELL," All the boys screamed running out of their rooms.
"Sirius why do you have a pink Mohawk?" Frank asked.
"I could asked you the same thing, and you Mooney and Wormtail," Sirius said.
The boys turned to the girls and Lindsy muttered, loud enough for the boys to hear, "So that's what James was up too."
"What do you mean?" Sirius asked.
Alice jumped in and said, "James was in here a couple of minutes ago and said you guys had something of his and he was just going to look for it so we didn't have to wake you."
"Prongs is a dead
man," Remus said and they started to walk towards the portrait
hole."
Amanda piped up and said, "Don't you think you
should get dressed first?"
"Yeah you don't look very frightening in your pink teddy bear pajamas," Jen smirked.
The boys looked down at themselves and Frank said, "That might be a good idea."
What the boys didn't notice was Lindsy snapping a couple of pictures of them. The boys made their way back to their rooms to change.
Jen turned to Lindsy and said, "Did you get the pictures?"
"Of course," Lindsy said holding up the pictures.
"Quick hide them the boys are coming," Alice whispered. Lindsy slid the pictures in Tiffany's diaper bag.
"Let's go wake up our dear Prongs," Sirius said. The boys started to walk out of the room when Remus noticed the girls weren't behind them.
"Aren't up guys
coming?"
"We'll be there in a couple of minutes," Alice
said. "I have to get dressed."
"Hurry up we'll wait for you," Frank said.
"No you guys go ahead we'll catch up," Lindsy said. "Besides we have to get the kids ready."
"Are you girls sure?" Sirius asked.
"Yeah, just go. James said something about heading back to the Head's Common Room to get Lily and Haley," Jen said.
"Alright we'll meet you in the Great Hall then," Remus said and the boys walked out the door.
"Hurry Lindsy charm it now," Alice said.
Lindsy muttered a few words and her camera started to move. "Follow the boys but don't be seen," Lindsy said to the camera and it flew out the door after the boys.
"Think they are going to kill us when they find out that it was really us?" Amanda asked.
"Probably, but let's
not think about that now, we need to get ready and head down to the
Great Hall. The camera is now a camcorder and it will tape
everything that goes on and we can watch it later," Lindsy said.
"Now I don't know about the rest of you but I'm
starving."
"Give me a second I need to get ready," Alice
said walking towards the bathroom.
"You're a witch just cast a couple of spells," Jen said.
Alice grinned sheepishly and said, "Oh yeah." She said a couple of spells and she was ready to go.
MEANWHILE
"PRONGS, OPEN UP RIGHT NOW," Sirius yelled pounding on the portrait.
The portrait swung open to reveal a half dressed James. "Would you shut up Padfoot? Haley is still asleep and we would like her to stay that way for a little while yet.
James moved to let
them in and then did a double take and said, "Why do you guys have
pink Mohawks?"
"You should know Prongs," Remus said.
"I don't know what you are talking about," James said.
"Let me say this slowly for you," Frank started. "You came to our room this morning and charmed our hair this way and charmed our pajamas so they were pink with teddy bears on them."
"Frank, I don't know what kind of potion you have been drinking but I haven't left my dorm all morning. You can even ask Lily."
"What can you ask
me?" Lily said and then added, "Pink really isn't your color
guys, sorry."
"Has Prongs been here with you all morning?"
Peter asked.
"Yeah, why?" Lily asked.
"We think he snuck out and did this to us," Remus said pointing to his hair.
"Trust me he didn't,
he was here all morning. Where are the girls?"
"They said
they were going to meet us in the Great Hall," Frank said.
"Well what are we waiting for then let me get Haley ready and we can head down," Lily said and she walked away.
"Prongs, Lily may think you were here all morning but we know different," Sirius said.
"I was here all morning. Lily and I just woke up about an hour ago," James said defensively.
"Alright, we're ready," Lily said carrying Haley in her carrier.
"We aren't going anywhere until James fixes our hair," Frank said.
"I can't because I didn't do it," James protested.
"Prongs, fix it now," Remus said through gritted teeth.
"Marauders Honor, I didn't do it," James said. "I was here all morning."
"Let's just go down to breakfast I'm starving," Lily said grabbing James' hand and pulling him though the door. They made their way down towards the Great Hall with Sirius, Remus, Frank, and Peter giving James death glares.
As they entered the Great Hall everyone stopped talking to stare at the Marauders' pink hair and a sixth year Hufflepuff asked, "Why is your hair pink and why James' isn't?"
Sirius just glared and Remus said, "We will be enacting revenge on the one who did this to our hair.
Everyone sat down and were talking when all of a sudden Sirius yelled, "What is everyone looking at, it's as if you haven't seen a guy with pink hair before."
"Sirius, calm down," Lindsy scolded.
"Sorry love," Sirius replied. "I just don't like people starring."
"It's okay, just calm down," Lindsy said and she looked at Alice giving her a slight nod.
Alice in turn signaled
Jen who signaled Amanda. All of a sudden there was three loud pops
and what looked like confetti was falling down on the Gryffindor,
Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff tables. As soon as it hit the table they
found out isn't wasn't confetti, but pictures. Lily picked on up
and looked at it. Stifling a laugh she said, "Look how cute your
pajamas are."
James smirked and said, "I didn't know you
guys like teddy bears."
"PRONGS, YOU ARE SO DEAD," Sirius yelled and then muttered hex.
The hex was just about to hit James when Lily said, "Protego," and blocked it.
"EVANS, don't interfere, this doesn't concern you," Sirius said.
Lily rolled her eyes and said, "Black, don't push me and yes it does concern me because James is my boyfriend. You want to know how I know he was in our common room the whole time Black?"
"Please enlighten us Lily," Frank said.
"We were snogging most of the morning," Lily said smugly. "Want the details?"
Lindsy, Alice, Jen, and Amanda were doing their best to keep a straight face but they failed with Lily's last comment and they busted out laughing.
"Alice are you okay?" Frank asked raising an eyebrow.
"See I told you it wasn't me," James said.
"You mean to tell us, that you five did it?" Remus said referring to the girls.
"No," Lindsy started. "Us four, Lily wasn't in on it at all."
"You know what they say, Lindsy, pay backs are a bitch," Sirius said.
"Is that a challenge love?" Lindsy asked.
"It may be," Sirius replied.
"Fine, this means war," Lindsy said.
"A prank war it is," Sirius replied, "Frank, Moony, Wormtail are you with me?"
"I am," Frank said.
"Yeah me too," Remus agreed.
"I guess I'm in too," Peter said timidly.
"What about you Prongs?" Sirius asked
"Sorry, but count me out," James said.
"Traitor," the boys chimed.
"Girls are you with me?" Lindsy asked.
"I am," Alice replied with a smirk.
"Me too," Jen said.
"Yeah, it will be fun," Amanda said.
"Lily?" Lindsy asked.
"I think I'll sit this one out. James and I will be the referees."
"Fine with us. Let's set a couple rules," Lindsy said.
"James and I will set them to be fair," Lily said.
"Fine," They said.
"Rule one, James and I get left completely out of the pranks."
"Rule two, It can't be on anyone other than your opposite team," James said.
"Rule three, no cheating."
"The fourth and final rule, the war doesn't begin until Monday and it ends in two weeks. Any questions?" James asked.
Everyone shook their heads no.
"Good, now let's get to class," Lily said.
"Could you girls change our hair back to normal now?" Frank asked.
"Sorry, but it's a 24 hour spell," Alice said.
"You mean it's stuck like this all day" Sirius asked.
"Yup," Lindsy said
smirking. "I learned from the best."
"I didn't teach you
that," James said.
"I said from the best not a novice dear brother. I was talking about father."
Everyone except James laughed as they entered the classroom and took their seats.
