Year 1972, 2nd Year, October 31st:
James Jabbers:
A just description of the most irritable Professor Slade: 'You yellow haired pillocky ponce!' Pure gold.
(And even more satisfying when it's shrieked by a gigantic pumpkin throughout the Great Hall for all to hear.)
"So, any ideas for the Hallowe'en prank yet?" I asked Sirius, Remus and Peter as I sat down on my bed and flicked through a book indifferently.
It was the nearing the end of October already and Hallowe'en was fast approaching. It had been some weeks after we had found out about Remus and we were back to planning pranks. Even though Remus didn't want us to practice becoming Animagi we were going to anyway. We wanted to be there for him. We told Peter our idea and he insisted that he'd like to be part of it too, so every full moon night we researched Animagi.
"Nope," Remus answered, breaking into my thoughts, "what about you?"
"I don't know either, it has to be something that we haven't done before and something big," I replied.
"Like what?" Peter asked.
"I just said I don't know Peter!" I snapped.
"Ugh, I can't think of absolutely anything that would be worth doing," Sirius said, lying back on his bed and covering his face with his hands, "woe is me!"
"What about you, Peter? Thought of any yet?" Remus asked.
"No, not yet," Peter replied.
"How can this be? We all have some sort of… pranker's lapse! Can't any of you think of anything?" Sirius asked sullenly.
"Nope," I replied. I racked my brain for a prank idea, but none came.
"Well it's going to be a great Hallowe'en if we can't even think of anything to do!" Sirius said sarcastically.
"How about turning everyone's robes a different colour?" Peter suggested.
"That's been done about a million times before, we need something original Pete. Something new," I replied.
"How about transfiguring everyone's heads into pumpkins?" Sirius said wildly.
"We're just learning to transfigure pincushions into hedgehogs Sirius! That's far too advanced," Remus said.
"James, you could do it," Sirius said looking over at me, "you're good at Transfiguration. It'd be easier than trying to become Ani," I widened my eyes at Sirius, who had realized what he was saying, "to- to become an Icklebog! An Icklebog I meant."
Remus eyed Sirius strangely. "What the heck is an Icklebog?" he asked.
"Never mind. Anyway, James you could transform everyone's heads into pumpkins couldn't you?" Sirius asked eagerly.
"Oh yeah, and while I'm at it why don't I turn you into a slug?" I joked.
"It was just a suggestion," Sirius said grumpily.
"I can't transfigure people's heads into pumpkins, and even if I could it would take ages and I'd need help," I said.
"Oh but couldn't you imagine it, the Great Hall filled with pumpkin heads, it'd be so funny! They'd be head butting each other constantly. I can see it now," a dreamy look came into Sirius' eyes, then after a while he raised his hands in the air, "Imagine Snivellus! 'Snivellus: The Great Greasy Pumpkin Brain.'" Sirius mused.
At this point both Remus and I rolled our eyes. Sirius was known for his wild ideas and far-fetched fantasies.
"Shut up Sirius." Remus said.
"Why don't you two think of something then if you think you're so good? Eh?" Sirius asked, looking over to Remus and I, "Me and Pete thought up things already, but no, they're not good enough for Mr. Potter and Mr. Lupin are they?" Sirius said.
"Shut up Sirius," I said.
"Hmm, how about we dress up as something really scary and scare the daylights out of people?" Remus suggested.
"That's just dumb Moony," Sirius replied.
"Why? And don't call me 'Moony'!"
"Because, they'd know it was us and it's a dumb idea anyway," Sirius said, Remus poked his tongue out at Sirius. "James? What about you, you haven't suggested anything yet."
"I'm thinking," I replied.
"That'd be a first," Sirius laughed.
Suddenly a great idea hit me. It was perfect.
"I have it! I have an idea!" I said enthusiastically.
Remus, Sirius and Peter looked at me in anticipation. I cleared my throat, ready to announce my great idea. I opened my mouth, and suddenly, out of nowhere, I hiccoughed. And it was not just any hiccough; it was the loudest hiccough that I've ever done.
Sirius, Remus and Peter burst out laughing.
"Great plan James!" Sirius chortled, "That'd be the best idea that I've ever heard!"
"Shut up," I said loudly, as Sirius, Peter and Remus continued laughing.
Finally, when they had stopped laughing Remus asked, "so what was your plan then?"
"Well, it involves the jack o' lanterns," I said grinning.
"Oh." Sirius said disappointedly, "how boring."
"Sirius, just let him explain before you go and call it boring," Remus glanced at Sirius then continued, "what about the jack o' lanterns James?" he asked.
"Well…" I went on to explain my plan.
There was one thing for sure: this Hallowe'en would be a night to remember.
As Hallowe'en got nearer Sirius, Remus, Peter and I got more and more excited. There was always an air of definite anticipation before a big prank. And this one was the first big prank of our second year. So it was definitely exciting for us.
Meanwhile lessons went on as normal – unfortunately. There was still no sign of Professor Crevan and we were beginning to wonder exactly where he had gone – Sirius definitely didn't give a toss about it, but I'd much rather Crevan teach us Potions than the nasty (that was an understatement) Professor Slade.
Slade had been filling in for Crevan for nearly a month now and I don't think I could stand him for much longer. The whole school had learnt to hate him with a passion; every class that came from his classroom came out cursing and wishing that Crevan was back. Even the Slytherins hated him. Which was amazing. There was something very familiar about the name Slade, but neither I, nor Sirius, Remus or Peter had figured it out yet. It was constantly nagging and nagging me but I could not, for the life of me, remember where I had heard the name before.
The day of Hallowe'en came quite quickly and Sirius, Remus, Peter and I were sitting outside in the courtyard waiting for the time when we were to prepare for the prank.
"Hey, remember last Hallowe'en? How the Slytherins had tried to get us in trouble?" Sirius remembered. I did remember it well. It was Hallowe'en, not long before the feast, we were sitting in this very spot and a bunch of Slytherins had came up to us and told us some crackpot story about a Headmaster who went on a murdering rampage in medieval times and killed all the students. We didn't believe them, and somehow they had made us go into the forest to prove that it wasn't true. Ah, the days when we were gullible. Anyway, we went in the forest, found nothing but Hagrid and his oversized slobbery dog, and when we came back out McGonagall was waiting for us. The Slytherins had told her that we went into the forest and had set us up. Luckily for us Hagrid covered for us and we got out of trouble – much to the Slytherins chagrin as they were probably trying to get us expelled.
I remembered the crazy story they had told us and wondered who they'd try and tell it to this year. Instantly something hit me.
Slade! I knew where I had heard that name before! Haviar Slade was what the Slytherins had called that Headmaster that supposedly murdered the students on Hallowe'en! Slade!
I told this to Sirius, Remus and Peter.
"I know where Slade is from!" I said, wide eyed at my discovery.
"Transylvania?" Sirius snorted.
"No you idiot! I know where we've heard that name before!" Remus, Sirius and Peter gave me blank looks, "Haviar Slade!" I said significantly.
"Caviar Slade?" Sirius raised his eyebrows skeptically, "Who would name their kid after fish eggs?"
"Not Caviar you idiot – Haviar Slade!" I replied impatiently.
"Who's that?" Peter asked.
I rolled my eyes, "That's the name of that Headmaster the Slytherins told us had murdered all the students on Hallowe'en in medieval times, last year!" I said.
Comprehension dawned on their faces.
"So that's where we've heard Slade before!" Peter said in disbelief.
"I wouldn't be surprised if Professor Slade was planning to do the same thing," Sirius said bitterly, "he does seem like the type to murder all the students."
"Oh yes Sirius, I'm sure Dumbledore hired a mass murderer to teach us Potions," Remus said sarcastically.
"Well, he did hire a vampire to teach us Astronomy," Sirius said.
Remus rolled his eyes, "Professor Philomena is not a vampire!" he told Sirius for what felt like the thousandth time.
Sirius had this wild conspiracy theory that Professor Philomena was a vampire because she's pale, only appears at night, hardly ever goes to the Great Hall for feasts, she sometimes appears out of nowhere and she's got freaky eyes – according to Sirius. But he thought it was cool even if she was a vampire because she showed him that Sirius was a star at the start of the year. (As we have been hearing for the past ten thousand days).
"She could be!" Sirius replied, "Have you ever seen her walk in sunlight?" he asked.
But before Remus could retort, a voice came from behind us.
"Enjoying the sunshine are we boys?"
It was Professor Philomena.
I would have burst out laughing right there and then if it there had not been a teacher there. Sirius looked up at her in disbelief. Remus gave an I-told-you-Philomena-wasn't-a-vampire look to Sirius.
"Yes, lovely sunshine isn't it?" Sirius recovered quickly.
"I quite agree Mr. Black," Philomena said, "Although I do rather prefer the darkness of night," Sirius gave a significant look to Remus, who rolled his eyes.
"Yes, the night is lovely as well – say… Professor… do you like garlic by any chance?" Sirius asked.
Remus shot Sirius an exasperated look.
"Hmm, not particularly, it leaves quite a bad smell on the hands – don't you think?" Professor Philomena looked down at us, "and why did you want to know that?" she raised an eyebrow at Sirius.
"Oh, I'm er – doing a survey on the teachers about their - er – food preferences," Sirius replied quickly.
I stifled my laughter.
"Very well then," Professor Philomena said and then walked off.
"There's your proof!" Sirius said to Remus as soon as she was out of earshot.
Remus snorted, "Funny that, I've never heard of a vampire being able to walk in sunlight."
"She probably knows some spell that enables her to walk in bright light!" Sirius replied, "Think about it – she doesn't like garlic – probably can't get near the stuff – she prefers the night and she just popped up behind us like that!" Sirius clicked his fingers significantly.
Remus rolled his eyes, "A lot of people don't like garlic – it doesn't automatically make them a vampire, she's an Astronomy teacher so it's no surprise that she prefers the night, and she walked up behind you while you were too busy blabbering to notice," Remus listed.
"You're such pragmatist Moony," Sirius drawled.
"Well I have to be with you around," Remus replied.
"Anyway, we were talking about Slade!" I said impatiently, they had all forgotten about it as soon as I mentioned it!
"What about him?" Peter said.
"Only the fact that he's got the same name as that mass-murderer!" I replied.
Remus rolled his eyes at me, "James – think about who told us that story – the Slytherins – they lie straight through their teeth – they probably thought the name up, or knew Slade and used his name because he reminded them of an evil Headmaster."
Sirius was right.
Remus was sucha pragmatist.
"You are such a pragmatist." I replied.
"Don't tell me you honestly think that Haviar Slade and Aurek Slade are related somehow?" Remus raised an eyebrow. Aurek was Professor Slade's first name; we had heard Professor McGonagall address him as such.
"Well it's just a huge coincidence – isn't it?" I said, "Haviar Slade – Aurek Slade, same last name, both evil, both from Slytherin no doubt," I compared.
"The Slytherins just made up Haviar Slade to scare us! It's a Hogwarts myth," Remus replied impatiently.
"Yes, but they share the same last name," I replied significantly.
"A lot of people share the same last name," Remus pointed out, "Lily shares the same last name with that sixth year Hufflepuff – does that mean they're related? No it doesn't," Remus pointed out.
"Yes but 'Evans' is a very common name," I said, "I've never heard 'Slade' anywhere else before," I said.
"Believe what you want but Slade is not related to some fictitious mass murderer," Remus replied with an air of finality and with that he started to pluck the grass while Sirius snorted and said "Helping Hagrid with a bit of gardening are you?"
"Have you got your Invisibility Cloak?" Sirius asked as we hurried back up to the castle. We had spent the rest of the afternoon arguing over our various theories and were so caught up in them that we hadn't noticed what time it was – we had lost five minutes of vital pranking time.
"Yes," I replied, checking that it was still under my robes as we entered the Entrance Hall.
Sirius chuckled, "I can't wait."
Neither could I, I thought, as we entered the Great Hall to find Professor Flitwick putting the finishing touches on the decorations. I looked around the Great Hall; there were heaps of jack-o-lanterns floating above the tables, the candles inside them fluttering. Groups of live bats were fluttering around the hall and flaming orange streamers streamed across the enchanted starry ceiling.
"You're here early boys," Professor Flitwick said after he finished floating the last pumpkin into the air.
"We can't wait for the feast," Sirius replied with a grin.
We were planning to eat very early so that when we did our prank people would still be eating.
"Well I hope you're not going to get up to any mischief," he eyed us with a chuckle.
"Of course not Professor!" Sirius said with all the charm he possessed.
"I hope not Mr. Black! The last time you did it was absolute chaos," Professor Flitwick said, "Now I must go change for the feast," he said before hurrying out of the hall.
"He'll know it was us now," Peter said as we sat down at the table, waiting for the food to arrive.
"Yeah, but I don't think he'll say anything, Flitwick's cool like that," Sirius replied. I nodded, last time we had asked Flitwick how to do a certain charm he had an inkling that it was to cause mischief but he taught us the charm anyway because he was happy that we wanted to actually learn something.
"Ah! Food!" Peter said delightedly as the tables began to fill with mountains of food, and he instantly begun to pile his plate. The house elves had cooked with their usual extravagance on Hallowe'en; there was every food imaginable and heaps of baskets of lollies.
Sirius and I began to pile our pockets with as much lollies as we could so we would have time to eat them later instead of wasting time eating them here. Remus, predictably, was grabbing handfuls of every different kind of chocolate and shoving them into his pockets happily.
After our pockets were bulging we began to eat as quickly as we could as the hall filled up around us.
"I fis fe din't 'ave oo weav' 'eely" Sirius said, his mouth full of food. Even I, who was very experienced in Sirius talking with his mouth full, could not tell what he had just said.
"Fot?" I asked Sirius, chewing on a large piece of steak.
"I said," Sirius swallowed, "I wish we didn't have to leave early," and with that he began shoveling more food into his mouth. I nodded; I wished the same, but there was pranking to be done.
Once we had finished we stood up and made sure the teachers saw us walking out of the hall. Once we were outside I slipped the Invisibility Cloak over the four of us.
"Are you ready?" I asked Sirius, Remus and Peter as I pulled out my wand.
They all nodded.
"Time for mischief then," Sirius grinned and he pulled out his wand as we walked back into the Hall and pointed our wands at the jack-o-lanterns.
Instantly the pumpkin heads that we had enchanted came floating down and hovered above the student's heads, they gave loud cackles and began to chase the occupants of the hall around.
Soon we had enchanted all of the pumpkins and they were flying around the hall chasing screaming students around with loud cackles, and yelling 'I'm going to get yooooooouu!' whilst gnashing their mouths together wildly. They looked quite sinister for something as innocent as pumpkins. Now you must remember that these jack-o-lanterns were not ordinary jack-o-lanterns, they were specially grown by Hagrid and ranged from the size of small tables to garden sheds.
Sirius, Remus, Peter and I all burst out laughing as we watched the hilarious scene in front of us. After all, it wasn't everyday you got to watch crazy pumpkin heads the size of garden sheds chase your classmates around while they screamed and ran into each other. Overhead the bats flew around in distress and collided with the pumpkin heads in a flurry of feathers.
Sirius, who always took pictures of our pranks, pulled out his camera and snapped some shots whilst guffawing with laughter.
The best pranks were the ones pulled in the Great Hall at dinner on the whole school. They were just classics.
I watched with vindictive pleasure as a pumpkin flew after a furious Professor Slade while yelling 'Come heeeere you yellow haired pillocky ponce!'
It was pure gold.
"Quick! Take a picture of Slade!" I said to Sirius, laughing my head off.
Sirius grinned gleefully and took a picture of Slade running away from the sinister pumpkin. I watched as Professor Slade stopped running and turned around to face it, holding out his wand. But before he could stupify it another pumpkin came up behind him cackling madly and smashed into his behind with a loud CRASH!
If it was funny before it was nothing compared to this, I clutched my stomach as I guffawed loudly watching the pumpkin crash into Slade's backside. Instantly Slade was knocked off his feet by the pumpkin and landed face down on the stone floor. The students had all witnessed this hilarious incident and despite the pumpkins chasing them a loud round of laughter rang out through the hall as Slade went red with fury. Sirius, meanwhile, was snapping pictures every five seconds.
"We better go before someone finds us!" Remus whispered frantically when he had stopped chortling. Even Remus, who didn't particularly like to play pranks on the teachers, found it highly amusing to see Slade being attacked by a giant pumpkin.
Sirius nodded and with one last look we saw some of the teachers Stupifying the pumpkins, we ran out the door and up the marble staircase to the Gryffindor tower, laughing all the way there.
"That is an absolute classic!" Sirius snickered as we fell onto our beds in the dormitory, "Slade the Great Pumpkin Butt!" Sirius burst out laughing, tears leaking out of his eyes, followed by the rest of us.
"Those pumpkins were awesome!" Peter chortled as he bit into a chocolate frog.
Sirius nodded, clutching his stomach and laughing as he emptied his pockets. Mountains of lollies spilled out onto the bed.
I emptied my pockets onto my bed and began to eat.
"I can't wait to get this film developed!" Sirius said, pulling his camera out of his pocket, "The pictures are definitely going on The Wall!" he chortled, looking at the far wall of the dormitory.
I followed his gaze and looked at The Wall.
The concept of The Wall had all started in first year somewhere after Christmas after Sirius had received a camera from his Uncle Alphard, he used the camera to photograph the craziest, stupidest and funniest moments we had ever happened upon. If someone was doing something embarrassing you can practically guarantee that Sirius had a picture of it. The Wall basically has every picture that Sirius has ever taken.
Well naturally Sirius needed to put these embarrassing photo's somewhere so he began sticking them up on the wall randomly. Sirius liked to call it 'The Wall of Shame', because that's what it was really. It had people picking their nose and wiping it on the table (Davey Gudgeon), scratching their behind (Alanna Capes), looking extremely shifty and pocketing something (Mundungus Fletcher), and laughing as plates, cutlery and utensils smashed together at dinner (Dumbledore). If any of the teachers ever seen The Wall it would incriminate a lot of people and probably land us with lifetime detentions. Luckily Remus knew a spell to disguise the photos on the wall in case the teachers ever decided to step foot in the dormitory.
Remus, Peter and I had also started making our own additions to The Wall– only yesterday I had hung up my drawings of Snape getting eaten by a chimera. I also added Quidditch stuff. Remus articles he had found interesting or chocolate wrappers and Peter hung up chocolate frog cards he collected. From there it grew to include everything that we've ever collected or taken photos of that can be physically hung on a wall. (You don't want to know what Sirius has tried to hang up there).
"Ah, The Wall," Remus said fondly gazing over at our work of art and chuckling.
"I wonder how much we can stick on there before we have to migrate to the ceiling," Sirius wondered, looking at the cluttering of items on The Wall.
"Probably less than a term the way you take pictures," I snorted and popped a Bertie Botts Every Flavour Bean into my mouth.
Instantly I wish that I hadn't.
It was the most disgusting flavour I had ever tasted! It must have been vomit flavoured or something.
I started choking and Sirius ran over to me. I thought he was going to saveme from dying a horrible death of choking on a vomit flavoured bean (it's a lawsuit waiting to happen), instead he grabbed his camera and started snapping pictures of me choking with my face red and screwed up.
Thanks a lot Sirius.
He doesn't even help me but he takes pictures of me choking to death whilst guffawing loudly.
Some friend.
Fortunately at that moment the bean came back up and I spat it out onto the floor.
"Lovely picture Jamie," Sirius chortled, standing over me as I tried to get the disgusting flavour out of my mouth, "Just lovely! Could you try that face again? The one that looked like a bulldog on heat?" he said brightly, "I want to make sur-" he was abruptly silenced by the loud SMACK! of three pillows colliding into his various body parts as Remus, Peter and I all hurled our pillows at him for being such an insensitive prat.
Author's Notes: Well, that gives a whole new meaning to 'The Smashing Pumpkins' Hahahahah
Anyway, I want to thank everyone who's so far reviewed! Especially all the new reviewers coming out of the woodworks! I really really REALLY appreciate it and love you all for taking the time to read and review this story!
HBP: well it seems like its been ages since I've read it, I liked some of it, didn't like some of it. Overall it was a tad disappointing (don't kill me, please), and not as good as OotP (besides the end of OotP of course!) and not nearly as good as PoA. (Probably because of the significant lack of Sirius!)
Anyway, that's all I'm saying. I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't read it yet.
KilikapeleThanks very much! I'm glad you liked Peter's transition, the idea of catching a glimpse of PostMoon!Remus was not mine however, it was my old beta's idea actually, but I'm glad you thought it worked!
TijiyaThank you very much! Yes I will keep it going through their Hogwarts years, up to year seven.
Maraudergirl7: Thanks very much!
xMissxUnderstoodxWell, Peter is a little rat yes, but you kind of have to forget that to write about their school days. I'm not saying anything about Snape though, the stupid bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleeping bleep (swear words omitted!).
brennQTHehe, glad you liked Sirius! Sirius is the best. Anyway, glad you liked the chap, thanks very much!
TroviaThanks very much for reviewing! I'm glad you like my take on Peter. Actually, I read your story on Peter's betrayal, Padfoot's Mate put me onto it, (I can read German, just not very good!) and thought it was brilliant! I really liked your portrayal of Peter in that story.
MinorMistake99: Thanks! Wow, I'm really glad a Peter chapter made your day :-D! Yes, Peter did see Remus' cuts and bruises, but Remus didn't want James and Sirius to see them.
