Chapter Five: Halloween Horrors:
Severus Snape had waited months to get Sirius back for a certain prank at the end of last school year. He was a patient man and that was why he could get Sirius back for turning his robes bright red. It was not just that one reason he did what he did. No he had so much to get the insane Animagmus back for years of horrible pranks. Oh yes this was perfect what he was about to do, he needed a prop for Halloween to cheer him up and that is what Sirius was going to do. Unfortunately he had no idea he was going to help Severus which was even better.
Now Severus could have stripped Sirius naked, put a dog collar on him and taken pictures. But he would have ended up in very serious trouble so he vetoed that idea. The next idea was so much better and it would be quite funny to do, for everyone involved but Sirius that is. Severus had weeks to prepare before Halloween and he managed to get Sirius's measurements and to have the costume made for the insane Animagmus. He had to have charms and runes woven in to make sure Sirius could not remove the costume or transform into his Animagmus form for an hour or so. Finally all was ready and Severus put his plan into play that very Halloween. While this was going on Remus Lupin was having tea with Molly and Arthur Weasley.
"Thank you for tea." Remus said, "it's a hard day sometimes."
"We know, but you have done so well keeping Harry happy." Arthur said, "I think he will be in a chocolate induced coma for quite some time."
"Well first time he ever did go trick or treating, I think telling the families why a teen boy was going around helped." Remus said, "once they saw him sharing much of what they gave him to the young children, well the word spread and he got quite a haul."
"I hope he does not get a tummy ache." Molly said.
"Well I did get plenty of stomach soother from Poppy." McGonagall said, "he will be just fine, and the day is still young for Severus to get in trouble."
"Is he planning something?" Molly asked.
"Yes, I am sure of it, after what Sirius did to him earlier this year, well he does plot and Sirius should not have annoyed him so." McGonagall said.
The Weasleys had come for tea and to meet with McGonagall about Ginny taking extra classes in healing. She was very smart and was proving that she had a real talent for healing. So now it was they sat in McGonagall's office enjoying a late tea before they headed down to the dance that was taking place as the students wanted a Halloween ball instead of a feast. There was a knock at the door and Remus came in, clad in a pirate outfit looking quite the part. He was looking very amused and everyone knew something had to have happened for him to look so amused.
"What did Severus do?" McGonagall asked.
"You simply have to see this." Remus said, "simply amazing the costume Sirius chose."
"I doubt he chose it, still he deserves what he gets." McGonagall said, "is Mr. Creevy around?"
"Yes, just outside the door." Remus replied.
"Those boys are going to give me gray hairs!" Molly snapped getting up, "between my twins and Severus and Sirius I am surprised I don't need a stay in St. Mungos!"
"Well dear you did somewhat adopt them." Arthur said, "no you did adopt them, so that brings us to ten sons is that right?"
"Two less if those two don't stop this!" Molly said walking out.
They all walked down the stairs Remus leading the way down to the entry hall. There standing below the four hourglasses was a tall man clad in a bright green bunny suit. It fit him well, it was neither too baggy or too loose and the feet looked exactly like rabbit's feat. The inner part of the ear and a circle on the chest were silver and the man was fully pouting. This made the six foot four gray eyed brown goateed head of the Black family look positively adorable, though he was not in the mood to be adorable at all. He had woke up and found himself here clad in a bright green bunny suit, if it had been pink he could have laughed it off and claimed it a prank from Remus. However as green there was only one person who could have done this and that person was standing a good ten feet away from him, clad in black armor and robes smirking at him.
"Oh my how adorable!" McGonagall said taking in the sulking Sirius, "Mr. Creevy you must take pictures of this!"
"It's, not funny!" Sirius bit out, "this is going too far!"
"Really Black, it's only fair, you charmed my robes to red, if I recall." Severus said, "and that is the more nice of the pranks you dared pull on me. Be grateful you are not starkers, one I would not do that I am far too refined for that sort of thing and two well this is much better revenge."
"I so hate you Severus." Sirius said looking at him coldly.
"You know, he is really cute." Molly said, "Severus why on earth did you not have me help?"
"Well, you are so busy Molly and I did not want to give you more work to do." Severus replied.
"Wow, um Sirius mate the outfit." Harry said walking around his godfather, "oh a silver puffy tail how perfect! My those ears are so long and fluffy too!"
"Laugh it up Harry." Sirius said to the grinning teen.
"He never looked better." Draco said walking up, "simply adorable."
"You little brats!" Sirius said making to move to them but getting shoved back, "you put a spell to keep me here?"
"Oh yes, you deserve it Black." Severus said.
Molly realized this was a very creative prank, in fact she was glad it was a fun one like this. Sirius made a cute green bunny and though he was sulking about it he had not been hurt and only his pride was hurt. She took out her camera, sighed and took a few shots herself. Sirius looked at her wide-eyed and realized he had been had and good this time. Maybe, just maybe he should give up pranking Severus?
