Chapter Twelve

Her second Monday at Hogwarts would live in Rain's memory as one of the best days of her young life. The day she joined the Marauders.

She woke up that morning feeling a great surge of excitement. Today she would get her revenge on Snape, and humiliate him for being a jerk to a complete stranger. She got dressed quickly, grabbed her knapsack and wand and headed into the common room.

She had discovered on Sunday evening that Regulus didn't much like Snape either, so she had enlisted his help. Apparently Snape had been a right git to Regulus from his very first meeting, acting all high and mighty because Regulus had asked for his help in Potions.

In their usual corner of the common room, sat Regulus, Rain waved and sat down next to him.

"Has he come out yet?" Rain asked.

"No, but the other fourth years have, so it shouldn't be long now."

Rain nodded. "You remember the plan?

"Yep, you have the parchment?"

Rain passed him the sheet of parchment. He picked it up and read the large lettering on the front and snorted. "Didn't know you had this in you, Rain," he said.

Rain smiled. "It was my brother's idea, I came up with the thought of getting him back for being such a git."

"Isn't your brother a Muggle?"

"Yeah," she said slowly.

"The boy's a genius," he said, and Rain smiled. "For someone without a lot of magical knowledge. Brilliant."

"You remember the spell, right?" she asked, smiling. His comment wasn't even forced.

"Yep, agglutinsempera, right?"

"You got it."

Just then, Snape came down the stairs and Rain nodded at Regulus, that was his queue. He got up and started to cross the common room. While he was doing that, Rain pointed her wand at Snape's knapsack and whispered "Diffindo!" It split open at the seams and spilled all of his books and parchment onto the floor. As he bent to pick up his supplies, muttering profanities under his breath, Regulus came up behind him and purposely tripped over him, making sure the parchment he was holding stuck to his back.

"Watch it, Black!" Snape snarled. "Can't you see that I'm standing here?"

"Sorry, Snape," Regulus muttered. "I didn't see you there."

"Watch it next time!"

Regulus walked over to Rain.

"What a ponce," he muttered.

"Yeah, he's a jerk, let's get down to the Great Hall and watch the fun."

So they walked up to the Great Hall for breakfast and stopped at the entrance. Regulus turned to Rain.

"I suppose you'll be eating with the Gryffindors, then?" he asked.

"Well no offense, but I get a better reception over there," said Rain. "Besides, I want to get a good look at James and Sirius' faces when they see what we've done."

"Oh, no, don't you tell my brother I helped you with this," said Regulus hastily.

"Why not? He'll think it was funny," said Rain.

"Sirius and I aren't exactly on speaking terms," he said delicately.

"He'll still think it's funny, but if you insist."

"Thank you," he said sincerely. "I'll see you later."

She waved to her friend and headed off to sit with the Marauders.

"Hey, Rain!" Peter greeted excitedly.

"Hi, Peter," she said smiling.

"Did you get Snape yet?" he asked eagerly.

"I sure did," she replied, grabbing a banana nut muffin.

The Marauders all looked at her, waiting for more.

"What?" Rain asked.

"What did you do?" James demanded.

"You'll just have to wait and watch," she said smugly, taking a bite from her muffin.

"I hope whatever it is, isn't going to get you in a heap of trouble," said Remus, noticing the mischievous glint in Rain's eye.

"Nope," said Rain. "By the way, did you not get any sleep last night, Remus?"

Remus looked away. "I got a little," he muttered.

Rain would have pressed about getting a proper nights rest but was distracted when Snape walked into the Great Hall.

"Lights, camera, action," she muttered. James, Sirius and Peter all looked at her funny and she just pointed, motioning for them to watch the show. She noticed Regulus at the other end of the Slytherin table look up when Snape entered, and was now watching with avid fascination.

Snape sat down and pulled a bowl of cereal towards him. A Slytherin sixth year walked past him and hit him over the head with his knapsack as he passed. Snape glared and the Marauder's snickered. Regulus smirked and turned back to his toast. For the next five minutes, Slytherins would walk into the Great Hall for breakfast and shove into or hit Snape over the head with something. By now, several fifth years were sniggering and whispering in a group not far from where Snape sat. One of them pulled out a wand, pointed it at him, and said a spell that Rain couldn't hear from the Gryffindor table. Suddenly Snape's cereal exploded in his face and everyone who was watching burst out laughing.

Dripping with milk and corn flakes, Snape got up, glared at his house mates, picked up his bag and stormed out to a chorus of laughter from the Slytherins and a string of ominous "ooooh" s from everyone else. Stuck to Snape's back, with a Permanent Sticking Charm, was a parchment with large capital letters that proclaimed:

I LOVE MUDBLOODS!

The Marauders stared at Rain in shock.

"You did that?" asked Sirius, astounded.

"The idea was Dustin's but..."

"But you..." James began. "You put that word on Snape!"

Rain could tell the boys were getting worried that spending time with Slytherins was changing Rain's vocabulary for the worse.

"It's what he calls me, he obviously thinks it's a horrible thing to be associated with, so..." said Rain. "The punishment fits the crime."

"That was brilliant!" exclaimed Peter like he had been holding it in forever. "That absolutely cannot be traced back to you!"

"Shut up, Wormtail," said James. "It can be traced back if you start blabbing like that."

"Oh right," said Peter sheepishly. "Sorry, Rain."

"It's cool," said Rain, smiling at her over exuberant friend. "So, good prank?"

"Very, good prank," said Sirius. "But I'm not sure it's Marauder material."

"Yeah, I dunno..." said James.

Remus looked too tired to comment and Peter was deferring to his friends. Before either James or Sirius could comment a shout came from the other side of the Great Hall.

"POTTER!"

The Marauders and Rain all jumped at the sound of Lily's angry yell. She stormed up to the five of them who all stared at her in fright.

"I swear to God, Potter, if that was you..." she trailed off unable to come up with an appropriate punishment.

"What in the name of Merlin are you on about, Evans?" James said, innocent look on his face, and for once, it was genuine. He had no idea what his crush was talking about.

She calmed down a little. "Did you or did you not," she began with quiet fury, "Permanently Stick a sign to Severus Snape's back with the words 'I love Mudbloods' on it?"

James stared at her with serious eyes. "I swear on my grandparents' graves, I did nothing of the sort."

Lily wavered slightly, trying to decide whether or not to believe the very strong vow. "Why should I believe you, Potter?"

"Because I saw who did it," said Rain, jumping in.

Lily looked at Rain in disbelief. "You did?"

"Yes," said Rain earnestly.

"Who did it then?"

"One of the Slytherins," said Rain. "I'm not going to tell you who, because I don't want any more trouble, but I swear to you it's true."

"Why would someone from his own house do that to him?" Lily asked skeptically.

"If you haven't noticed, Snape's not exactly popular, even in Slytherin. I suppose you missed the cereal explosion earlier caused by some fifth years?"

"I didn't see that," Lily admitted. She turned to James and adopted a businesslike tone. "I suppose I owe you an apology, Potter."

The Marauders' jaws dropped.

"I accept your apology, Evans," said James, matching her tone. "Go on a date with me and we'll call it even."

Lily smirked. "Nice try," she said and stalked off.

When she was gone the Marauders all turned to Rain.

"You got Lily Evans to apologize to James!" Peter said in awe.

"You're one great girl, you know that, Rain," said Sirius in admiration.

"Very sneaky indeed," said Remus.

"You are so in," said James.

Rain gave him a questioning look. In answer James just held out his hand.

"Welcome to the Marauders, Rainnina Bone."

Rain grinned and shook his hand.

A/N:Hey everyone, I just wanted to take the opportunity here to stress how much I appreciate constructive criticism. However, I do not enjoy flames. If you don't like it, thats your prerogative, you don't have to read it. Just please do not tear up my story as it were, and go read something else. Thank you.

Also, just a little tidbit: agglutinsempra comes from the Latin words agglutino (meaning to stick) and semper (meaning eternally). Thus the Permanent Sticking Charm.

R&R!
