Molly and Serenity had snuck back into the common room just as everything was unfolding. Lily and Rose had found themselves seats by the window and were sharing knowing looks between themselves. Everyone else that had been in Gryffindor Tower had come out to see what all the yelling and cursing was about.
"If it was so lame, then why are you so choked up about it boys?" Lily smirked.
James glared at her and she shrugged her shoulders.
"Come on guys," James said, "We have stuff we have to do."
"No kidding," Molly laughed.
"I'd be quite if I were you," Sirius said, "Or you might just suffer the consequences."
"Ohhhh," Serenity hooted, "I'm so scared."
Remus grabbed Sirius and James by the neck of their shirts and dragged them out of the portrait hole.
"What was that all about?" Rose heard a second year ask her neighbor.
The Maraudettes walked out of the common room leaving a very confused group of students whispering about what had just happened.
It was the start of the dinner rush hour so the halls were quite clogged as students and professors made their way down to the Great Hall for their supper. The girls had to jog down the corridors to catch up to the boys but as soon as they saw them ahead of them they fell back just far enough that if any of the boys turned around they wouldn't be seen. Little did they know that what had happened to them in their dorm was only the beginning.
When they reached the top of the marble staircase the girls hurried to catch up to them. There was a lot of noise in the Entrance Hall, more than usual which had gotten people pushing to see what was going on. The Maraudettes stopped halfway down the stairs and watched with pride what they had accomplished. There sitting in the very centre of the Entrance Hall was a duplicate of the seventh year Gryffindor Boy's Dormitory plus a few special additives.
Sitting on top of Sirius' unmade bed was a large stuffed dog with big floppy ears. James' bed was not made-exactly how the girls had found it in the dorm-and on top was a teddy bear. Peter's bed had the sheets twisted all together and the quilt carelessly thrown on top. Remus' bed was the only one made but had the most embarrassing thing on it, a blue fuzzy blanket with a yellow duck print on it folded neatly at the end of the bed.
Beside each bed was their nightstands and in James' and Sirius' cases they displayed some interesting private objects.
Their trunks lay open at the end of their bed's, robes, socks and shoes were thrown all of the floor and the occasional textbook could be scene poking out from underneath a bed.
The boys all leapt down the last few steps and rushed over to their beds and tried to grab and hide the items on their nightstands and beds. It was to no avail because none of the things would budge no matter how hard the owner pulled on them. Not even a de-sticking charm would unglue them.
James stopped yanking at magazines that were sticking out of his bedside table drawer and whispered something frantically to Sirius who nodded frantically. They both touched the ends of their wands together and pointed them at the stuck objects. A burst of orange light shot out of the wands and with an earsplitting crack it disappeared. Again James tried to free the objects but again it didn't work.
"Damn you," he screamed in the direction of the Marble Staircase where everyone was enjoying the show, especially the Maraudettes.
As soon as James was done with his little screaming fit everyone was dead silent, not a whisper or even a shuffle could be heard which was pretty miraculous seeing as how the Hogwarts student body usually was. But there was good reason for the sudden silence because none other than the Minister for Magic was standing at the entrance to Great Hall with Professor Dumbledore and McGonagall. Dumbledore and the minister were finding the situation quite amusing but McGonagall was not. It looked like her face was going to crack it was so stiff. She walked over to the Marauders and said quite loudly, "Do you boys think it is funny to go and pull this in front of the whole school when the Minister of Magic is here and even when he's not here for that matter?"
"But Professor…"
"Black I don't want to hear your sorry excuses."
"It wasn't us Professor," James tried.
"And you know how many times I've heard that one," McGonagall said.
"But this time it's true Professor," Remus said, "Honestly."
"I suggest you four transfigure whatever this is back to what it used to be and return to your dorms and get your homework done."
"You know Minnie," Sirius said trying a different angle because the sweet, innocent student wasn't working for them, "That would be an awesome idea but seeing as how we didn't do this it's kind of not fair."
"Also," James said, "We would be unable to do our homework up in our dorms, as much as we'd love to do that, but a few people thought it would be great fun to remove everything from out dorms and put a permanent sticking charm on it and place it in the centre of the bloody entrance hall," he screamed the last part of it.
"Language Mister Potter," McGonagall scolded.
"He's just under a lot of stress Professor," Remus tried to justify James' behavior.
"That's understood but there is no reason for him to stand in front of the school cursing."
Peter was standing watching it all unfold looking slightly embarrassed but also very scared.
"Well I'm sure four bright students know how to do a de-sticking charm," McGonagall reasoned.
"That's the thing, it's not working," Sirius hissed.
"Well then you are obviously doing something wrong because it always works."
"You try then," James said.
McGonagoll pulled out her wand and flicked it and nothing happened. It was now her turn to look embarrassed, "Well then if you boys say you didn't do it go and have your supper."
Nobody expected that to come out of her mouth so when nobody moved thinking it was some sort of crazy joke Dumbledore stepped forward and said, "You heard her, get a move on."
People started to shuffle into the Great Hall with a final glance at the makeshift dormitory and the four boys who had taken to flopping down on their beds in defeat.
Lily walked up to James' bed and lay down beside him once everyone had left the entrance hall.
"You kinda deserved it," she whispered, "So don't complain."
James closed his half opened mouth and nodded, "I know, but then you'll just deserve what happens next and believe me it won't be cute."
"Is that a threat Mr. Potter?" she said in her best imitation of McGonagall.
"Yes, I think it is."

You said that you guys wanted more pranks but that won't happen unless you guys help me out here with ideas. Just brief prank ideas are great because I'm horrible at thinking up the basic things. Thanks.
