A/N: Sorry about the wait. My muse has left me…so this probably won't be my best…

…

The first two months at Hogwarts passed by quickly. James and Sirius received detentions daily, and Sabrine became far happier now that she was able to spend more time with her friends. Halloween seemed to burst upon them very suddenly.

Lily soon realized how very important Halloween was to the magical community. Hagrid decorated the castle with giant pumpkins and other rather eerie decorations. Students began to wonder what delicious foods would be served at the Halloween feast, and James and Sirius were often seen conversing in low voices by the fire. Many students were sure they were planning an amazing Halloween prank, and the Gryffindor girls were sure they could find out what it was.

"So," Jessi said to her brother at breakfast the day before Halloween, "What'cha up to?"

James continued eating his food calmly. "What do you mean?"

Jessi sighed. "Look, James, you're my brother and I know when you're planning something, and I WANT TO BE IN ON IT!"

James put his spoon down and glanced at his twin.

"Jessi," he started seriously, "I have NO idea what you're talking about."

James and Sirius stood up and strolled out of the Great Hall. Jessi groaned.

"I still say you're brother's hot." Danica said dreamily.

Lily, Sabrine, and Jessi glared at Danica for a second and stalked away to class.

…

"AHG!" Jessi yelled. "Why won't he tell me!" She kicked a wall angrily.

"OW! Oh, BLOODY HELL! OW!"

Sabrine shook her head. "I swear, Jessi, you're an idiot sometimes."

"Hey!" Lily said suddenly. "Let's go see Hagrid!"

The girls had first befriended Hagrid when they had seen him struggling to help a wounded unicorn near the lake. The unicorn had lashed out every time Hagrid drew near, despite its' broken leg. The girls had rushed down to help the creature, and Hagrid had thanked them graciously.

"I would've helped 'er meself," he had said, "but those blasted unicorns won't let no man near 'em!"

He had then offered them tea and cakes, which, although they were hard as rocks, was a kind enough gesture to make the girls visit him every weekend.

(A/N: back to the present…)

Jessi stopped hopping up and down and seemed to think about this.

"O.K.," she said.

…

"Well o'course they're plannin' somethin'!" Hagrid said, pouring hot, steaming tea into four cups, "It's yer brother we're talkin' abou!"

Jessi smiled. "So you've heard of James, then?"

"Heard o' him?" Hagrid chuckled. "Do y'know how many times I've had ter drag him and that Black kid outta the forest? I do hafta admit though, those kids are some o' the smartest I've seen in a long while."

…

Halloween evening brought forth a great deal of whispered rumours of the grand prank expected. The Slytherins traveled in huddled packs all day, certain the prank was to be pulled on them. By the feast that evening, however, no signs of mischief had been detected.

"They're planning something, they've got to be!" Jessi muttered, tapping her fork against her plate.

"Face it, Jessi," Sabrine whispered, staring at James and Sirius, along with the rest of the Hogwarts students, "They're not planning ANYTHING."

In fact, James and Sirius seemed completely oblivious to all the stares they were receiving. They ate calmly, talked to Remus and Peter, and acted as if they were totally innocent.

After a half hour, they simultaneously stood up, said goodnight to their two friends, and strolled out of the Great Hall. A flurry of whispers rose up; everybody wondered why the two school pranksters had passed up Halloween night. They all ate in silent confusion, wondering if maybe the two weren't as good pranksters as they had seemed.

In the common room that night, everyone sat and watched James and Sirius playing Exploding Snap in front of the fire. Jessi started towards them, but was interrupted by McGonagall entering the room in a huff.

"Mr. Potter! Mr. Black! Are you two responsible for this?" she screeched.

They looked up innocently. "Responsible for what?"

"Oh for heaven's sake…Miss Black, come here."

Bellatrix entered the room sullenly, and everyone burst into laughter. Her long, silky hair was now tinted red and gold, her skin was gold, her eyes were red, and large, sparkling letters floated above her head:

Gryffindor Pride

Sirius and James bowed to the applause, and McGonagall pulled them out by the ears. Bellatrix scurried out of the room. The rest of the Gryffindors piled through the portrait hole, only to see the rest of the Slytherins, also decorated with the Gryffindor colors.

Jessi grinned. "I told you they were planning something."

A/N: Reviews, please, even if you did hate it…I'm probably going to go through first year pretty fast, because I'm better at writing with older characters…
