Twelve Days with the Marauders

Day Three

Peter was frantic, Peter was worried, Peter had his little head buried…under stacks of books. He needed to pull a prank or something off now. And fast. He was reading a paragraph about how the Giant Squid suddenly came into existence, and how worried the staff of Hogwarts were, and more, when some tiny part of his already tiny brain wondered why he was reading about the Giant Squid. Of course, Peter then went to thunk his head against a shelf of books, which toppled the self, which made Madame Pince (literally) kick him out of the library. He sighed. Then it hit him. The Giant Squid. Of course.

"Oh, you know how super hot-AAAAH!" The fifth year Hufflepuff girl was suddenly yanked through the air. Her (Hufflepuff) friends saw this and decided to panic, and ran. Tentacles snaked round each of their waists and lifted them up high. The girl who had been talking about how much she liked James had already been put down. At the other side of the lake. It was very queer. The friends of the girls were put down there also. The group shrugged, and walked back. When they were almost halfway, the Squid picked them back up. They were put back on the other side of the lake. The girls tried to pass the Squid, but to no avail. They were soon joined by many more people. Who knew that the Giant Squid could multitask so well?

"-and you are as filthy as those Mudbloods!" Smack. The piece of paper that was yelling at Sirius gave him one final cuff around his head, and with a bang, exploded in his face. James looked worriedly at his best friend as Sirius put down his fork, muttered a quick something about not wanting to eat anymore, and almost ran out of the Hall. James sighed, got up, and followed his friend out of the Hall. Sirius was always a little depressed after Howlers from his parents. He needed something to cheer him up.

The Marauders had finally rooted Sirius out of their dormitory. They were now taking a stroll down near the lake. The lake with the giant Squid. When they first saw it, James and Remus cracked up laughing. Sirius simply smiled for a few seconds, then it faded. But he didn't remain nonchalant for long. When Snape was carried across by his ankles, and his underwear (which was a neon green) fell off, Sirius grinned. Then Snape began calling the Squid names. But when the Squid splashed Snape, then proceeded to dress him in seaweed, making him look like a demented mermaid (you know those people, who look neither male, nor female?), Sirius began to laugh. He laughed for a full two minutes (James and Remus were very worried by then) and then stopped just in time for the grand finale, "Snape Gets A Makeover".

"I always knew he was a girl." laughed Sirius, as the Squid rubbed more slime on Snape's cheeks, giving him a greenish "blush".

"Good one, Wormtail." Snape was now attempting to untie his "ponytail" tied with a strip of weed and with a starfish as an accessory. Unfortunately for him, the Giant Squid had probably been in "Squid Scouts" or something, because his knot was holding very firmly.

"I wish I had a cameo-thingy, you know, Moony, those things that take pictures with a flash of light?" Snape now had a clam hanging onto each ear, a nice "earring". By now, the students that had been trapped on the other side of the lake had made a run for it, but the Squid did not care. He liked Barbie-Snape better.

This was a considerably short one. Next one'll probably be longer.
