A/n: Yet once more I am apologising for the time taken to write this chapter! ITS NOT MY FAULT! Its school…blame school…

I do not, under any circumstances, own J.K.'s world.

Chapter 11: Of Pranks and Humiliation

The five Gryffindors, all amazingly under James' invisibility cloak, snuck down the staircase and to the dungeons, careful to avoid anybody who may catch them. It was just before sunrise, and they were planning to set the prank off when most people were milling about the entrance hall.

"I swear this cloak used to be bigger than this," Sirius huffed as an elbow came into contact with his stomach.

"No, we've just grown bigger, we have an extra person and we have these sacks," Remus said, biting his lip as someone stepped on his foot.

"Hey, you're the guys who asked me to come along," Robyn hissed, pushing a sack from out of her face.

"Good point," James stated in defeat, heaving his sack and hearing a disgruntled Peter go 'Oi' as it hit him. "Sorry," James whispered, holding back his grin.

"Are you guys ever really mature?" Robyn asked incredulously.

"Nope," They replied in chorus.

"Thought not," Robyn mumbled, smirking slightly in the muffled light.

"Ha, ha, we could be mature," Sirius grinned. "If we were Red Leicester!"

All three of his friends groaned quietly.

"Get it? Get it?" Sirius chuckled.

"That was so… cheesy," James smirked.

Another groan.

"Nice one," Sirius grinned, and high-fived James silently under the cloak.

"You two are idiots," Remus shook his head.

"And proud," James chuckled.

"Ugh," Robyn groaned. "Act your age, not your shoe size," I hissed.

All four marauders raised an eyebrow in her direction and looked as if she was the mental one.

"Well, anyway," James said, steering the conversation away from that subject. "We're here peeps, let the prank begin," He grinned.

Robyn sighed and smirked, shaking her head as they crept one step towards the Slytherin common room door that stood in front of them, obviously locked. All four marauders looked to Robyn, as if saying, 'you got the password, you say it'.

Robyn growled dangerously but agreed.

"Parselmouth," She said clearly through clenched teeth.

The door stayed shut for a second, then, creaked open, allowing the five Gryffindors access to the Slytherin dorms and common room.

Robyn, who had been in here before (briefly), was the only one who didn't bother to look around.

"Come on, let's get this over and done with," Peter whimpered. He had become extremely jumpy since they had walked through the door.

"Don't worry Pete," Remus said, even though he too was a bit nervous.

James, Sirius and Robyn said nothing, but gave each other identical grins. Sirius chucked Robyn some glitter and they journeyed towards the boy's dorms.

The first thing that they noticed as they stepped through the dorms door was the smell. It reeked. Robyn crinkled her nose, but the marauders seemed immune.

They each took a Slytherin and covered the next days uniform with gold glitter, and the Slytherins hair. It went in a cycle like this, until they had done every single Slytherin guy.

"Hey, why don't we release the nifflers at Breakfast. Not only will they go for the Slytherins, but it'll cause extra chaos in the great hall," Robyn smirked.

"Yeah, but what about the glitter," James questioned.

"We can easily use a hiding spell," Remus stated, taking out his wand.

Sirius and James grinned, both agreeing without a word and producing their own wands they set to work.

Soon enough, all the Glitter had 'disappeared'. Peter had succeeded to turn his Slytherins hair pink. Sirius and James wanted to leave it, but, luckily, Remus was on hand to sort it out and keep the boys in line.

"We done then?" Robyn inquired as she brushed her hands quietly.

"Yeah, lets get out of here," Sirius grinned.

They all squeezed back under the cloak and swept from the room, like a leaf on water, shutting the door behind them.

"Ugh, five more minutes mum," James snorted an hour later, when everyone was emerging from sleep.

"I'm way too good looking to be your mum Potter," Sirius grinned, taking the covers away from James' clutches.

A groan was emitted by James as he slowly sat up and placed his glasses on his nose. "Time?" He grunted.

"Just before breakfast," Remus stated, pulling on his trousers.

"You're the last one up, Pete's waiting downstairs with Robyn," Sirius smirked. He was already fully clothed and looked as if he had had a full nights sleep. The other boys, unfortunately, looked like Death.

James glared at Sirius as he stumbled towards his chest and pulled out his clothes, putting his trousers on back to front, kindly pointed out by Remus, and his socks on his hands, blatantly pointed out by Sirius.

Once they had managed the mammoth task of getting James ready, they walked, half heaved, themselves from the safety of their dorm and out into the big, noisy, castle.

"I never knew people were this loud in the mornings," Remus moaned.

James grunted in agreement to this and glared at some random first years as they scampered past.

The three boys found their other two comrades in crime around the fire in the common room. Robyn was lain across one of the sofas, and Peter on one of the chairs. Both had fallen into some sort of meditative slumber.

Sirius, and James (who had regained his normal hyper-ness) tiptoed up to them and knelt beside their ears.

"WAKEY, WAKEY, RISE AND SHINE!" They both yelled in unison.

The effects were simultaneous. Robyn lept up in surprise and fell off the sofa, face first onto the floor. And Peter must've jumped so much, that he tumbled off the back of the chair.

Remus, James and Sirius all burst into righteous laughter as Robyn and Peter peeled themselves off the floor.

"I'm gonna kill you," Robyn sneered, her fists clenched, and her eyes slightly puffy from lack of sleep.

"Can I join you in that motion," Peter groaned.

"Kill us later," Sirius said, waving away this threat. He was used to it. "First, we must finish are prank!"

Robyn groaned and followed the marauders down to the great hall. The sight of food seemed to give her strength, and she soon looked awake.

"So, where did you place the nifflers?" Robyn whispered.

"They're in the suits of armour. As soon as we reveal the glitter, we let them out," James stated, swallowing a ration of bacon.

She nodded and continued eating, looking up at the boys ever so often.

Lily, Michaela, Sue and Georgie looked at them weirdly.

"What they up to?" Sue asked.

"No idea. But I know something, it's going to happen soon," Lily said.

"You got that right," Michaela smirked. "I wonder what it will be?"

"Maybe they're going to turn the teachers into their fish counter parts," Georgie suggested.

Silence reigned between the girls.

"What!" Georgie said incredulously.

Lily shook her head, and they went back to eating.

Over on the Slytherin table, the boys were all still utterly oblivious to anything that might be going on. But one Slytherin, by the name of Lucius Malfoy, kept looking towards the Gryffindor table, hoping to catch a glimpse of one girl.

Remus noticed this, as he was sitting next to Robyn this morning. He looked towards Robyn and raised an eyebrow.

"Why does he keep looking at you?" He questioned.

Robyn froze and looked up like she had seen a ghost. "Who keeps looking?" She said.

"Malfoy," Remus stated quietly.

Robyn shivered, shook her head, and went back to eating, or rather picking at her food. Her appetite had suddenly disappeared.

Remus raised his eyebrow once more, but did not pry. He knew when someone did not want to talk.

Distinct muttering was heard from Robyn from then on. Remus caught snippets, and most he did not like the sound of and he kept quiet, for the sake of his safety and his friends.

Sirius coughed loudly, catching the attention of the troop. He grinned.

It was time.

Each got their wands out slowly, so as not to draw any attention to themselves. Remus and Peter were on niffler duty, while it was Robyn, James, and Sirius' jobs to reveal the glitter.

Each of the glitter squad picked a Slytherin and began. Soon enough, the whole table was twinkling in the light. Some Slytherins had noticed and were getting quite angry. They had to be quick.

James nodded to Remus and Peter, who immediately set to work. Immediate chaos was imminent.

The nifflers nearest the Slytherins were released first, causing the boys closest to scream like a bunch of headless chickens and run into each other, with nifflers either on their heads or clothes. The other boys who found themselves covered in glitter knew what was going on, and tried to get out of there, but the fact that the rest of the school was now in panic, well, their plan seemed to get trampled on by hundreds of feet as they all raced to get out of the hall.

The teachers were not best please, and almost immediately began rounding up the nifflers and trying, but failing miserably, to restore order.

Meanwhile, the five comrades had taken shelter under their house table, doubling over in laughter.

"That was priceless," Robyn grinned.

"Did you see snivelus' face!" James laughed.

"Him and Lucy were the first one to get caught by the nifflers," Sirius chuckled.

"I wish I had a camera," Remus said, wiping tears of laughter from his eyes.

There was a stern cough coming from above the table. Their laughter suddenly quietened, but their grins could not be hidden, as hard as they might try.

"Maybe she'll go away if we're quiet," Peter whispered nervously. His grin had faded.

"I highly doubt that Mr Pettigrew." MacGonagalls voice rang throughout their ears.

Each Gryffindor looked at each other and nodded solemnly. "Well done men…and woman. We conquered the battle," Sirius grinned as they emerged from the table, and stood shoulder by shoulder in front of their head of house.

"A weeks detention for all of you!" She snapped, her lips pursed and her eyes narrowed. "I'm surprised at you Miss Young, Mr Lupin."

"Now, Minny, you know you love us really," Sirius smiled.

"Careful with your cheek Black, or it'll be another weeks detention," She sneered dangerously.

"But how could I say no to another week with you, my lovely Minerva," Sirius said, fluttering his eyelashes.

A slight redness came to MacGonagalls face, and a twitch of the lips suggested she was going to smile, but she kept her hard façade before stalking off.

After she had left they all began laughing once more, congratulating Sirius on making their head of house nearly blush.

Heading out of the hall though, they were met by a banc of rather sparkly looking, but very angry looking, Slytherins.

"You're going to pay for this," Malfoy sneered, taking a step forward, his threat seeming empty as he was covered in golden sparkles.

"Oh, well, I think you look rather fetching in gold Lucy," Sirius smirked, the rest laughing aloud.

"I don't know how you got into our dorm, but I swear I'll…" But James cut him short.

"Well, we got your password off a very own under cover spy," James grinned, and Robyn stepped forwards, enjoying every moment of Malfoy's humiliation.

Malfoy's jaw tightened and he glared, somewhat heart broken, at Robyn, who didn't give a flying monkeys and stuck her tongue out at him.

"You will pay for this," Malfoy growled and stalked off, the rest of the band in tow.

The laughter of the five friends rang after the group of Slytherins.

"I can't believe it! He looked as if you'd broken his heart!" Sirius smirked.

"Meh. I just got what it takes I guess," Robyn smirked.

"Sure do Chickadee," James grinned, giving Robyn a high five.

"But I think Malfoy really meant what he said," Peter stated, his voice a little nervous.

"Live life to its fullest young Pettigrew! We can take him," Sirius announced.

"He looked deadly serious though," Peter pointed out.

"Excuse me! I am the only Sirius here! How dare you compare him to me!" Sirius growled playfully, a twinkle in his eye.

"A dare, eh?" James smirked. "Well, you both come from horrible families, you both have long-ish hair…Oi!" James pouted as Sirius hit him over the head.

"Serves you right!" Sirius stated, folding his arms.

"You did dare though," Robyn stated.

Sirius glared at her and grinned. "So?"

"I never give up a dare!" James wailed.

"…" Sirius, defeated, went into a thinking silence.

"If you listen carefully, you can almost hear the cogs whirring," Remus smirked. "Almost."
