Remus was walking down a deserted corridor when someone pulled him into a cupboard.
"Mmmphhh…"
"Shh… not so loud!" said the stranger.
The stranger shut the door and performed a silencing spell before letting go of Remus.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?" he yelled.
"Hey! Wanna go out with me this hogsmeade weekend?" asked the stranger, as if it was the most normal thing in the world to drag someone into a broom cupboard just to ask them out.
"Is that you Lily?" asked Remus.
"Well that's fast." Said Lily; sarcastically.
"Uhh… sure. I guess. But James would kill me!" said Remus.
"Who cares? He can't control your life. Besides, when was the last time you actually went out with a girl?" asked Lily.
"Uhh… fifth year?" said Remus.
"That is practically one fifth of a decade ago!" exclaimed Lily.
"So I guess I'll meet you in the entrance hall, Saturday morning, 9.30 sharp?" said Remus, making up his mind to go out with Lily. Partly because he had not been interacting with the ladies much. Partly also because he wanted to spite James.
"Sure!" said Lily.
"One more question, why are we in a broom cupboard?" asked Remus.
"Another one of Alice's redundant fantasies; She wants to know how it feels like to be in such an enclosed space with the opposite sex." Said Lily; shoving the door open and stepping out into the open air.
"That's just gross."
"Agreed," Said Lily.
"Then why did you do it?" asked Remus.
"To return her favour." Said Lily simply, arousing Remus' curiosity.
"What favour?" he asked.
"Not telling." Said Lily.
"Please?" asked Remus.
Lily just looked at him, smirked, and walked away. "Boys…" she thought to herself, "they want to know everything and yet, their too blur to notice anything at all."
Remus just stood there, staring dumbly into space. "Girls…" he thought to himself, "always keeping secrets. Don't know what goes on in their little minds."
James sat under the shady beech tree, he tossed a snitch up in the air, and deftly catching it the split second before it got away. Sirius was lying on the ground next to him, looking at the fat and fluffy clouds rolling past. They seemed impassive and not really doing anything but relaxing on this lazy summer day. But looks could be deceiving. Their scheming minds were right now in action. They were trying to think of another prank to play on their teachers. They were going to do it themselves, without Remus' help,just to show him they could do it.
"How about we move all the desks in Minnie's class room to the one next door?" said Sirius, "She'll think she's in the wrong classroom and go all over school searching for the correct one. That way, we get to miss transfiguration."
"Good plan." Said James, "except wouldn't it be very obvious, not to mention easy to spot the desks in the classroom next door? That way, won't we all get caught?"
"Oh. Right." Said Sirius a little sadly.
They continued their previous ministrations until James said, "How about we..." he beckoned to Sirius and whispered the plan in his ear.
The corners of the boys mouth twitched and slowly curved into a smile. He liked the sound of the new plan, it would surely work...
It was very early in the morning. There was a slight breeze and the sky was still swirls of pink and purple. Sirius and James were already outside, zooming around on there broomsticks. They took turns catching the snitch and riding James' new StarStriker 100. It was the newest model and everyone was dying to get their hands on it. James had gotten it as a christmas and birthday present even though it was still June and his birthday was in september and it was still six months away from christmas.
They were out this early also because this was the day they were going to play their "unsupervised by the grump" prank. Or so they had termed it. They were very excited and could not help but release all that cooped up excitment. It was only when student began to walk out of the castle to proceed to there various classes did they go back inside.
Transfiguration was after lunch and they could not wait to play there little, well not so little, prank.
"Turn to page 184 please, and read the first chapter on turning furniture into animals." said Professor McGonagall in a strict, no nonsense tone of voice.
There was rustling of pages as the students obediently turned to the page and began reading. Sirius and James were already bored with the book. They could not concentrate anyway, they were just too excited. James looked up at the clock, it was almost time. Sirius stared out of the window. Three more seconds, three... two... one!
There, outside, a huge black mass could be seen. It was moving towards the castle. As it got closer, people started to wonder what it was. In every class room that had windows, people were surprised and curious to see what was it. Even the professors were curious. It approached the castle quickly and the students finally realised that it was a horde of owls. Tens and thousands of owls, coming towards the school. Each one the same tawny colour.
They burst throught the windows and started handing out packages to everyone. Each pakage was wrapped like a present and looked very inviting. Each one was identical in size but different in colour. Attached to it was a note which read 'DO NOT OPEN'. Everyone was curious to find out what was inside and the 'DO NOT OPEN' note made them all the more curious. There was a rustling of wrappers and everyone had opened theirs, execpt Lily of courrse who was not so siple minded, only to find seemingly useless white powder in them. After 10 seconds however, the white powder started to liquidize and form itself into different colours of liquid.
Soon, the liquid started to vibrate and jump up and down the box. Then, it flew out of the box and into someone elses box. So the water, well liquid, show began. At first, the teachers were astounded. They tried every spell they could think of to stop the liquid. They tried removing the boxes from the tables but found that they could not move them. The liquid was now hyper and began jumping about frantically. They even moved from class room to classroom and they weren't exactly small droplets mind you. They kept getting bigger and bigger. This annoyed the teacher greatly as it interupted lessons and kept wetting the notes.
Through out this whole ordeal, James and Sirius were laughing hysterically. That was the best prank they had played on anyone and there was no evidence whatsoever that they were the masterminds behind the prank, or so they thought as they watched teachers and students alike, running away from the liquid to save themselves from getting wet. It was weird how far people would go just to stay dry.
A/n: ok... i cant describe the prank very well but i hope you get the idea... if you have any suggestions on rephraing it. please tell me!!! reviews are welcomed too. and i like CONSTRUCTIVE critism. not crap like 'you suck at writing so stop.' at least tell me why i suck at writing if that's what your gonna say... i seriously don't mind if you say you hate my story but at least tell me why!!! anyways, r and r!
