Chapter 6
The four marauders were sleeping soundly when a shout woke them.
"POTTER, BLACK, PETTIGREW, LUPIN! GET DOWN HERE NOW!"
James sat up and looked at Sirius who smiled evilly. Remus slowly got out of bed and changed looking a bit pale (although that could be because the full moon was in a couple of days.) They all looked around happily and the four boys ran down the stairs into the common room. The scene made them all burst into a fit of silent laughter.
"How did you make these bloody things float?!" Lily yelled angrily as a floating flobber worm swarmed around her head. They laughed harder when they saw Frank Longbottom being attacked by 20 flobber worms for the chocolate frog he was eating.
As the marauders were laughing in their common room no one had seen or heard from the Slytherins because they all were afraid to try to swim through the grindylow infested water. Snape was too embarrassed because of the clown clothes to care he had locked himself up in the forth year boys dormitory.
They walked down to the Great Hall making it a point to walk past as many suits of armor as they could. People started to follow them once they noticed they weren't being pelted with stink pellets or dungbombs. The boys found this funny all the people following them were of course hit with the smelly prank. As they entered the hall they were surrounded by angry students at once.
"NIFFLERS ATE UP MY HOMEWORK!"
"A BOOK BIT ME!"
"ALL MY ROBES ARE RIPPED THANKS TO THOSE PIXIES!"
"I SMELL LIKE DUNG AND I WAS ATTACKED BY FLOATING FLOBBER WORMS!" Frank Longbottom yelled angrily.
The people were yelling so much that they didn't even notice the Marauders sneak away from the crowd and into four empty seats at the breakfast table. They looked up at McGonagall and saw that their prank on her had worked too. Instead of a tight bun her hair was now in braided pig tails and was three colors: pink, orange, and green. Her robes were a very bright lime green color. On top of that there were creatures running or flying around the room.
Where are the Slytherins? I want to see Snape's new clothes!
They're probably afraid of the water.
I hope the sphinx didn't eat them...
That thing scares me.
Everything scares you Pete.
Thats not true he's not scared of his teddy bear!
Yes he is.
Told you everything scared him.
Who's afraid of a TEDDY BEAR? Honestly Peter how did you end up in Gryffindor?
I don't know.
Maybe we should go make sure the sphinx didn't eat the Slytherins.
Yeah lets go.
I wanted to start a food fight!
Later Padfoot. Later.
They stood up and left the hall. They walked down to the dungeon they stopped when they got to the sphinx.
"To get by you must all answer one riddle each who's first?" She looked at each of them and they looked at each other. She rolled her eyes. "How about you first." She said looking at Peter he went pale and gulped. "Here is the riddle: What has a mouth but can't chew?"
Peter looked at the other three as if asking them for help. Sirius wasn't even paying attention he was staring at the wall, James just handed him some parchment and a quill, and Remus shrugged.
Ummm... are you going to eat me if i get it wrong?
"No you just get to stand here with me if you get it wrong."
er... umm... how about a...
They all looked at Peter waiting for him to answer.
Spider?
Behind him he heard Remus sigh and James snigger.
"I'm sorry but that's not the answer I was looking for. The answer is a river." She looked at the other three. "Who's next?" Sirius stepped forward and took the parchment and quill from Peter. "Your riddle is: What is broken every time it's spoken?"
I think I've heard this one somewhere... it has to do with saying something... oh I know! It's Silence that makes sense.
The sphinx nodded and moved so that Sirius could pass. He handed the Parchment to James then walked past the sphinx. James stepped forward.
"Your riddle is the easiest so far: what gets wetter the more it dries?"
That's it? That's the riddle? That is so easy! A towel!
She nodded and stepped aside letting him join Sirius.
Remus stepped forward with the parchment and quill ready for a riddle.
"You answer me but I didn't ask a question what am I?"
Remus stood thinking for a moment then he wrote an answer.
It's a telephone.
For the third time the sphinx stood up and let him pass. He looked at Peter and shrugged before walking past the sphinx.
James and Sirius smiled as Remus walked over to them. They walked through the dungeon until they got to the entrance to the Slytherin common room. They looked around and seeing that no one was around they wrote the password down on a piece of parchment and put on the wall. James tapped it with his wand and the wall opened up letting them in.
As the wall moved letting them in all the water rushed out with the grindylows trying to stay in the room.
"YOU!" One of the Slytherins yelled seeing them. Then they found themselves being chased by all of the Slytherins. Snape was even sending curses at them because James turned his hair hot pink and turned all his clothes into dresses.
They ran past the sphinx and Peter who looked at them confused until he saw the mob of Slytherins behind them. They ran up the stairs started up the grand staircase towards their common room. They were almost there when a whole mob of Gryffindors cut them off. They changed directions and ran down the seventh floor corridor.
They were all thinking the same thing as the ran past a tapestry we need a place to hind where they can't get us! James heard a small noise and turning he saw a door he got the others attention and they ran into the room.
James looked around the room was big with large fluffy armchairs and a bowl of marshmallows on the end tables.
Remus pulled out a piece of parchment and a quill.
Does anyone have any idea where we are?
Not a clue but this room is awesome it has a never ending bowl of mini-marshmallows!
Have any of you ever seen this room before?
Yes but then it was a bathroom.
It was a library.
You don't want to know...
Am I the only person who has never been anywhere near this room?
It looks like it.
So for the rest of the day they sat in the mysterious room waiting for the everyone to stop looking for them.
Author's note: There you go the day of the prank. In the next chapter there will be a food fight and the Marauders will get detention!
