Chapter 75: Girls' Revenge
"I never expect James to do something like that!!" Stefanie exclaimed. Lily had told her roommates about the incident with James earlier that afternoon.
"That's just so disgusting." Samantha wrinkled her nose in disgust.
"How could he?? He seemed so nice and everything." Joey could not figure out why James would do such a thing.
"The thought of it makes me puke." Lily said angrily. I must have my revenge.
"So what's your idea of revenge??" Stefanie asked Lily.
"Something memorable." Lily said with a wicked glint in her emerald green eyes.
"Like what??" Joey enquired.
"Like.." Lily racked her brains for some pranking ideas. "Like something got to do with their underwear??"
"LILY!!" The three girls shouted at the same time.
"That's so yucky!!" Joey added.
"I know." Lily said. "But it will be a sweet revenge." She was mentally trying to get a prank in mind.
"Sweet?!?" Stefanie shook her head. "Don't get Remus too involved in that."
"I kinda have an idea in mind. But it would involve the four himbos."
"Since when were they categorized under himbos??"
"I just don't feel like calling them Marauders."
"You can call them tortoise or cockroach or something."
"Pigs also can."
"Imagine them walking around with a tortoise shell behind their backs." Lily tried to imagine and started laughing.
"That would be your idea of sweet revenge??" Samantha asked in disbelief.
"Nah." Lily shook her head. "That can be a follow-up prank or appetizer only."
"But seriously I think the tortoise idea is pretty good." Joey agreed, grinning at the thought.
"It's good." Stefanie said rationally. "But how are we going to conjure any tortoise shell on their back without being too obvious??"
"Moreover our transfig. skills are far from brilliant in comparison."
"We can make a potion for that."
"Is there such a potion in the first place??"
"I doubt Porky would be happy if you ask him how to make a potion which can give people a tortoise shell."
"We don't need to ask him."
"But we need a lecturer permission to get to that section of the library."
"No better suggestions??" Lily asked. The three girls shook their heads.
"Since you say about wanting something that involve their underwear, how about making them wear their underwear and walk around??"
"And make sure they don't know that they're wearing only underwear."
"I strongly believe McGonagall will be the first to inform them to put on some clothes."
"That's not possible as well."
"C'mon, we won't lose out to those piggies."
"Piggies??"
"I thought it was tortoise??"
"No, it was himbos."
"Well, you understand what I'm trying to say, that's enough." The four girls sat silently in the dormitory and thought about a great prank.
"I've an idea." Lily said suddenly.
"I've an idea too." Stefanie added, winking at Lily.
"Don't speak first!!" Samantha ordered. "Let's sound proof the room and then discuss it on someone's bed."
"We need to sound proof that area as well, just to make sure." Joey added. The four girls crawled into the nearest bed, which used to be Arabella's.
"Stef, it's up to you now." Lily whispered to Stefanie. Samantha and Joey gave her a nod and the four girls went their separate ways to play their role in the prank on the Marauders.
"Remus!!" Stefanie shouted across the Gryffindor common room. "Wait for me!!" The four Marauders halted in their position to wait for Stefanie.
"Are you girls doing those girls' stuffs today??" Remus asked in confusion.
"Yeah, we were having a discussion on make up earlier." Stefanie said nonchalantly but enough to bluff the Marauders. "We already spent four hours discussing about it. I don't think we can drag it any longer. Besides Sam was thinking of a new hairstyle but we all don't agree that she should cut it too short-"
"Okok, I don't really want to hear the details of the girls' talk." Remus said, putting his hand in front to stop Stefanie from going on and on about it. The other three Marauders started laughing at Remus' expression.
"So where are you guys going??" Stefanie asked innocently.
"The kitchens." Remus whispered into Stefanie's right ear.
"Let's go together??" Stefanie suggested.
"We better get going if we want something for tea." James reminded the lovey-dovey couple in front of them.
Lily was looking at the five teenagers who were busy talking at the entrance of Gryffindor tower for about five minutes before they left the common room. Making sure that Samantha was standing guard the boys' dormitory staircase for her, she quickly ran up to the sixth-year boys' dormitory. Stefanie and Remus sure share everything, right down to the password of their dormitory.
"Once a Marauder, always a Marauder." Lily whispered after making sure no one was around her. The door to the Marauder's dormitory cracked open and Lily sneaked in quickly, closing the door behind her quietly.
Great, who's holding onto the Invisibility Cloak??
"Accio James' Invisibility Cloak." Lily muttered, holding up her wand for the Summoning Charm. James' Invisibility Cloak did fly towards Lily. Were the guys carrying the Marauder's Map?? I think they would be since they're going to the kitchens.
She crept around the boys' dormitory to check out the surroundings before covering herself with the Cloak and left the dormitory. Moving swiftly down the steps, she was back to the Gryffindor common room.
"I'm done. Going back to the dorm to keep the cloak." Lily whispered to Samantha's ear. Samantha nodded to acknowledge that she heard her, and then she turned to continue the next part of the prank.
"The sleeping draught is here." Joey came back into the dormitory happily.
"Great." Lily praised. She was trying to keep the Invisibility Cloak in a safe place where the guys could not use the Summoning Charm on it.
"Pomfrey was more than happy to give me more than just one vial." Joey was telling Lily. "More than enough to let all the guys sleep for ten times."
"We use it once for this prank and save the rest for the best. Besides it won't be refreshing to keep using the same prank."
"I know. Just trying to tell you how much of the draught we've got now."
"Thanks Jo."
"You're welcome. Let's get to the next part of the prank."
"Can we go outside??" Stefanie pleaded the guys.
"What's so interesting outside??" Sirius asked bluntly.
"It's too boring inside." Stefanie replied.
"Why don't you get Remus to keep you company?? We've got other things to do as well."
"Like what??"
"Like trying to date dear old Lily." Sirius said teasingly.
"Not that." James defended.
"Then why don't we all go outside to the lake together??" Stefanie taunted.
"Sure, anyway it had been a long time since I last seen Giant." The Marauders followed Stefanie unenthusiastically out to the Hogswart Lake whereby they just sat down to enjoy the breeze.
"Got the book." Samantha said triumphantly as she came into the room.
"At least we still have some time to make the potion."
"Too bad the Sleepy Draught can't be made within a few hours, if not we don't even need to ask Pomfrey for it."
"Those animals related potions require the actually animal hair itself." Samantha pointed out.
"So we need something from the turtle."
"And the only place where we can get those are from Porky's collection."
"How about we make another potion??" Lily suggested naughtily.
"Which one??" Joey asked.
"This one." Lily pointed at the name of the potion in the index.
"So you guys know the whole procedures??" Lily asked again.
"Yes Madam. We know our roles." Stefanie said laughingly.
"No worries, it'll be a foolproof prank." Samantha said assuringly.
"It gotta be foolproof. Do you know how much hard work we put in for this??"
"Approximately five hours of today??" Stefanie said teasingly.
"Alright, let's get going." Samantha reminded. The four girls crept out of the dormitory and headed towards the boys' dormitory.
"So we're going to make Snivellus dance again??"
"Or Malfoy sing again??"
"Can't we come up with something better than this??"
"No bright ideas."
"Padfoot??"
"All the pranks were my ideas. It's about time someone else use their brain."
"Do something in their shower??"
"We already did it more than ten times in various forms."
"Food??"
"Too many to count."
"Sleep??"
"Please."
"Then??"
"I'm outta ideas."
KkknNnooOOcccKKK!!
"Who's that??" James raised his brows in surprise.
"Stef." Stefanie said in a pretended annoyed tone.
"Oh." Remus jumped up from his seat and went to open the dormitory door. "What's up??"
"Stef, it's midnight!!" Sirius said in an exasperated voice.
"I suddenly thought to Remus so I pop by to take a quick look." Stefanie said sweetly as she pushed open the door and trooped in. "Besides we were making lemonade in the dorm so I brought some over for Remus."
"Only for Remus??" Peter asked.
"If you guys want, I can let you each have some." Stefanie said swiftly.
"Jeez, thanks." Sirius said. "I help myself." He got up and took the bottle of lemonade and poured some into his goblet. "Prongs??"
"I want some too." Sirius poured the lemonade into four goblets and passed it around the guys.
"What about you??" Remus asked Stefanie.
"Drink until I'm so sick of it." Stefanie said nonchalantly. "Jo suddenly had the urge to make lemonade and she brought so much lemons back from the last Hogsmeade visit."
"That's nice." James said to no one in particular.
"Is it sweet enough??" Stefanie asked Remus softly.
"Yeah. I'm feeling kinda sleepy." Remus told Stefanie before falling onto Stefanie for support.
"The drink-" Sirius said, but before he could complete his sentence, he dozed off on the floor.
The three girls behind removed the Invisibility Cloak and Lily put it by the door so they would remember to bring it along before they leave.
The four girls quickly stripped the Marauders, two by two, until they were left with nothing but boxers.
"Rearrange." Samantha whispered. The used magic to suspend the four guys in mid-air while trying to arrange them in an entangled position.
"This should be ok." Joey said as she transfigured the area around the guys into a green grass patch.
"Should be fine. Just a photo pose." Stefanie said and she took the camera from Samantha and took a few pictures from various angles.
"Ok, back to bed." Lily said and the four guys were magicked onto the bed.
"Change deco." Stefanie said. The four girls changed the bedspreads and curtains of their bed into a flowery pattern.
"I do the boxers." Lily said as she changed the design of James' boxers to repeated patterns for piles of droppings, Sirius' to sunflowers, Remus' to moon and stars, and Peter's to penguin pattern.
"Send them off." They threw the one-use disposable portkey onto each of the beds. Within seconds, the four beds disappeared from the boys' dormitory.
"High five!!" Lily started high-fiving with the three other girls before they covered themselves with in Invisibility Cloak and left the boys' dormitory.
"It's the Marauders!!"
"Look at their sleeping positions!!"
"Oh my god!!"
"Sirius' quilts are so cute!!"
"James' comforters gonna be mine!!"
"Don't touch Sirius, he's mine!!"
"I'll get Remus' curtains!!"
"What's the chaos??" Lily asked in a pretended innocence as the four girls stepped into the Great Hall. Right in front of the teacher's table stood four beds of very flowery and feminine looking decoration.
"I don't know. Do you??" Samantha
pretended, trying hard not to laugh.
"Let's not be bothered by the unnecessary chaos and continue with our breakfast." Stefanie said in a pretended serious tone, which sounded like about to burst out laughing any moment.
"We gonna have all the food for ourselves." Joey said, pointing at the nearly emptied Gryffindor table. Nearly all the girls were in front of the hall surrounding and climbing onto the Marauders' beds, some guys were watching and eating at the same time in front while the rest remaining at the table were keeping a close watch on what was happening from their view.
"Let's dig in." Lily said excitedly. "I mean how often do we get the whole bench to ourselves."
"You've got a point there." Samantha agreed. The four girls sat at the far end of Gryffindor table, watching the commotion as they eat.
What's all that noise?? I'm trying to sleep. James tossed around and used his pillow to cover his face. How come I'm feeling so tired but yet my mind is conscious?? He tried to open his eyes but to no avail because it was rather glaring. What a bright day. Who cares if my dreams are noisy?? Sleep is important.
"Looks like they're still sound asleep." Stefanie commented, watching more of the happenings on Remus' bed than the rest.
"Definitely." Lily agreed. "I added a couple of millimeters more than the normal dosage."
"That's double of what is allowed??" Samantha questioned.
"Not double, more of a little more than necessary." Lily defended. "My target is James and I want him to sleep more. How would I know in the end Sirius drank the most??"
"I wonder if they would wake up soon." Joey said. "Lessons are starting in like fifteen minutes time."
"The main thing is whether the students can tear themselves away from the hall." Samantha joked.
"More likely most of the junior girls, you mean."
"Sirius' snores are soooo cute!!"
"James is another big snorer!!"
"Remus is a silent sleeper!!"
"Peter is snoring pretty loudly!!"
Who are those people talking in my sleep?? And why are they talking such strange stuffs?? Remus wanted to check what was going on around him but he just could not bring himself to even open his eyes. This is the strangest dream ever.
Bell is so sexy. Sirius drooled slightly in his wet dreams. He was in such a deep sleep that he was oblivious to the noise pollution around him, except the fact that he was having some trouble breathing normally due to the stuffiness. But of course, he did not think that he was slightly hyperventilating due to that.
"Enough of the nonsense!!" A fierce female voice called out from the back. The students stopped whatever they were doing to the four Gryffindors and stood back. "What do you think you all are trying to do??"
"Professor, the Marauders are sleeping in the Great Hall and this is definitely something out of the ordinary." A prefect spoke up.
"I'll settle that." Professor McGonagall replied in her typical no-nonsense voice. "It's time for the first lesson of today."
