Hey all, sorry I haven't updated in a while. I was banned from doing so for a while. My grades were slipping! It sucked. So anyway...I don't own anything related to Harry Potter except my plots. Thanks!

CHAPTER 5: That means war

When we finally calmed down, we crept out of the alley. Moody and Kingsley were supporting Moony. Tonks, Harry, and I were still giggling. Everyone stared at us as we walked into the kitchen. I imagine we were a strange sight to behold!

"Hey all!" I waved cheerily, "Mission accoplished! Watch out for Moony though, he caught a bug on the way here; I think it's contageous!"

At this, Harry and I both burst out laughing. Moony scowled and moved towards Ron who backed away. I laughed even harder.

"'Inite incatatuum!" Moony tried while pointing his wand at himself.

It didn't work. He growled in frusteration. Taking pity on him, I pulled my wand out to cure him. I realized my mistake a second after I got rid of his "curse". I should never have pranked a marauder and not prepared to run. Damn. Now, the situation was reversed. I was now a a large cat. A house cat that was yowling angrily at anyone who dared laugh that is. When everyone continued to laugh, I flicked my tail angrily and stalked out of the room with my nose in the air. Inside, I was laughing too. It was just all to funny, you see, I had anticipated his move, and I had set up a trap for him. Sure enough, i heard a loud crash and a muffled swear. Purring, I marched up to my room. It was quite a while before I was called down to diner, and even when I was, I was still a cat. When I entered the kitchen, I was met with another round of laughter. I hissed and arched my back instinctualy.

"S-sorry Bells!" Harry gasped, "You make a great cat!"

I yowled and launched my-self through the air with my claws out. Sirius turned into Padfoot and met me in mid air. Yowling, I clawed at his face, and he whimpered. Once we were back on the floor, he scrambled away with his tail tucked between his legs. I hissed again.

"Oww," Sirius complained, "What did you do that for?"

"You idiot! Get me human again, human!" I hissed...but no one understood. It just came out as a bunch of hisses.

"I belive that she said, and I quote: 'You idiot! Get me human again, human!'" McGonagal translated.

I hissed again before stalking up to the table and jumping onto it. I sniffed around before sticking my nose in the mashed potatoes. I love me some mashed potatoes.

"Bella, no!" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed, "Wait for everyone to sit down before eating!"

"I'm hungry, human!" I mewed.

"I think she's hungry," Dumbledore observed.

"You bet I'm hungry old human!"

"Respect, Isabella!" McGonagal gasped.

I grumbed under my breath. then, with a pop, I returned backto my human form with my butt in the chicken, and my face stuck in the mashed potatoes. Harry led another round of laughter. I unstuck my face from Mrs. Weasley's potatoes and scowled at every one who had all laughed even harder at the food on my face.

"You know what that means Moony?" I growled, "You should never prank a junior marauder. This calls for a all out prank war!"

Moony paled. The last time we had a prank war, he ended up as a pink wolf in a pink tu-tu with his ah...things neutered. Temporarily of course, but I didn't tell him that.

"You-you wouldn't, would you?" He pleaded.

"Oh, I would," I smiled evily.

"Er...what's going on?" Ron said clueless as ever.

"Bella just declared a prank war on Remus," Harry whispered to him. Ron nodded his eyes widening.

I hopped off the table, and I walked up to a pale Moony. I walked right up to him and wiped some mashed potato off of my face and onto his frozen one.

"Starts tomorrow Moony...maybe," I grinned and walked away.

It was about 1 minute before anyone started to move again. When they did, Mrs. Weasley made her frusteration vocal.

"Isabella! You ruined the potatoes and the chicken!" She scolded, but she had a small smile playing on her mouth.

"Sorry, I didn't know that I would change back then!" I apologized with my hands up in a surrendering gesture.

"Oh well, let's just eat," she sighed.

After dinner, we were all chatting when Severus Snape's head popped through the fire.

"Sorry for interrupting," he sneered, "but I need to speak to the headmaster, now."

"Of course," Dumbledore stepped through the fire when Snape's head dissapeared.

It was quiet after that. Until I sprayed Moony with pumpkin juice. He glared at me.

"That means war!"
