A/N: HELLO! I AM BACK! (And I changed my username from aw844)

After like 3 months... :$

Sorry, guys. This just took me a really long time to write because I didn't know how to end it.

Also, in other news, MY FRIEND WENT TO THE WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER IN ORLANDO AND SHE BOUGHT ME A WAND! :D It's Sirius'! :D Sorry for bragging and all BUT I'M REALLY HAPPY AND HYPER RIGHT NOW.

to lilmisshufflepuff: Thank you so much :) I really try to make the characters unique, so it's nice to hear that it worked :)

to Blue Luver5000: Aha, here's your update :) Sorry it's so late.

Disclaimer: I do not own the magical world of Harry Potter.

Marlene McKinnon didn't think she'd ever been this angry with her best friend before.

Lily had succumbed James! She had forgiven him even though the redheaded girl had made a pact with Marlene to be torture them! (in ways not punishable by law)

So that left her to slam the broom-closet door shut and walk away from the intertwined couple angrily on her quest to beat the life out of one named Sirius Black.

Marlene went to her best bet of where to find Sirius, the Gryffindor Common Room. She caught sight of him, and faced said Black bastard with a ferocious glare. The rest of the previous occupants crouched behind cushy armchairs, watching the scene before them unfolding with rapt eyes.

She poked Siriusly Stupid in the chest, anger blazing in her eyes. "You arsehole!" She shouted. "What the hell was that for?"

She gestured to the walls around them, on which a few stubborn pairs of knickers still stuck to the walls. "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING? ARE YOU STUPID? DROPPED ON THE HEAD AS A BABY?"

Marlene could see Sirius gulp imperceptibly, and a thick rage filled her head. "I'll give you a 5 second head start now," She growled. Sirius' eyes widened noticeably this time, and he raced towards the 7th Year Boys' Dormitory. "Go. Run for your miserable, now shortened life!"

She counted backwards from five slowly, and when she reached zero she whipped out her wand. At that precise second, Sirius the Prat burst out of the stairwell on his new Cleansweep 5, flying out the portrait someone had opened for him.

Marlene shot spell after spell at him, but nothing hit him. She angrily Accio'd her own broom from her dormitory, and quickly flew after her arsewipe of an ex-friend.

"I WILL GET YOU, SIRIUS ORION BLACK!" She bellowed, leaning forward on her broom as to go faster as she gained on him.

Sirius looked back over his shoulder and his mouth dropped open. He quickly (and unfortunately for Marlene) recovered and leaned forward on his broom like Marlene.

"FORGOT I WAS A CHASER TOO, DIDN'T YA?" Marlene cackled evilly as she came even closer to the black-haired miscreant. "MWAHAHAHA!"

Sirius yelped in fear (and in a very unmanly way, as well) as she caught on to the twigs at the end of his broom. Marlene was just about to use one of her worst curses on him when she heard a voice shout from behind her.

"Miss McKinnon, you will put your wand down and get off that broom this instant! You too, Mr Black!"

Oh, dragon shite. She could just see her tombstone now:

Marlene Mary McKinnon, born October 13, 1959. Died from wrath of furious Head of House on April 1st, 1978. She will be missed.

To say that Professor McGonagall was angry would be a serious understatement. In fact, if her Head Of House wasn't wearing her usual pointed hat, Marlene was sure that she would be able to see smoke coming out of her ears.

"HOW DARE YOU?!" She bellowed, whipping around to glare holes into Marlene and Sirius. "WHAT WERE YOU TWO THINKING? OR WERE YOU EVEN THINKING AT ALL?"

Marlene shifted guiltily. This was the reason she could never end up pulling as many pranks as the marauders did. She got guilty and eventually spilled the beans, which made many of her friends mad at her.

Hmm… but this time, she didn't care if Sirius was mad at her, as long as he got punished.

"It was Sirius' fault, Professor!"

"IT WAS NOT!" Sirius shouted, glaring at Marlene, "You started it!"

The old, tartan-clad professor sighed wearily, almost as if saying I-can't-deal-with-you-dimwits-anymore. "Both of you," She groaned, massaging her temple. "Start from the beginning."

Sirius shot another furious look at Marlene before speaking again. "This morning, when us Marauders woke up, we had our skin and hair all died and stuff and all our pranking items and our pants were stolen!"

Professor McGonagall looked faintly amused as she turned to Marlene. "You stole their undergarments?" She asked, and it looked (no joke) like she was trying not so smile.

"Yeah!" Sirius answered indignantly. "And all our pranking items AND they altered our appearances!"

Marlene wanted to punch him. "It's April Fool's day, you dimwit! Of course we pranked you! But that doesn't mean that you had to get back at us by pasting our knickers on the Common Room walls!" She shouted, shoving him away from her angrily.

Sirius stumbled into a table before righting himself and glaring at Marlene. "We're Marauders! Of course we got back at you! It's what we do!"

Marlene glared at him. "But that's private! It's not like we sold your pants to the public for a sickle apiece or anything! What you did was way out of line!"

Professor McGonagall sighed, rubbing her temples once again. "You can figure all this out in detention at 8 o'clock. I believe that Professor Slughorn needs some help ordering the Potions ingredients. Do not miss it," She said crisply, before turning on her heel and walking out.

Sirius and Marlene glared at each other heatedly. "Nice job, idiot," They said in unison, before huffing and walking away from each other angrily.

After Professor Slughorn left the two alone in the Potions Dungeon, they immediately stopped ordering the Potions ingredients and glared at each other.

"You're a prat," Marlene stated bitterly, and if looks would kill, Sirius would be dead 10 times over.

You're a prat," Sirius countered in the same tone. "Turning my hair yellow is one thing, but the rest? That was out of line."

"What about what you did? Sirius, that was really bad. I don't want the whole world seeing my knickers! You know I'm not like that."

Sirius snorted darkly, and if Marlene was angry before, then she was beyond furious now. "How dare you?" She whispered, and to her disappointment, she could feel tears burning at the back of her eyes. She hated crying; she hadn't cried since she was 13 and she broke her arm in three different places. "Look, I know everyone thinks I'm some kind of slag because I drink and party and occasionally snog a few blokes, but I'm not like that. I've never…" Marlene trailed off, before speaking again. "You know. But everybody still thinks I'm a slag and I'm not and this only made it worse!"

Marlene watched as Sirius' eyes widened briefly and then softened. "Mar, I'm sorry," He whispered. "I'm really sorry. I didn't realize what it would mean to you."

Marlene let out a bitter laugh, turning around quickly to wipe her eyes imperceptibly before looking him in the eyes. "Yeah, well…"

Sirius looked regretful. Which was pretty new, since he never regretted anything. And because of that, all her anger dissolved. So when Sirius opened his arms for a hug, she stepped into them and returned it.

"You know," She said. "I may be willing to give you guys your pranking products and pants back, on one condition."

Sirius snorted again. "And what is that condition?"

Marlene smirked into Sirius' shoulder. "Well, April Fool's day isn't over. I say us girls team up with you all and use the pranking products to make some serious ruckus."

Sirius laughed, pulling away and winking flirtily at her. "Done."

FINITO!

AWH, IT'S OVER. :(

See ya later,
