Hello Readers! Quick update, but short chapter. Will update soon. Please review!
I do not own Harry Potter.
Early the next morning, I jumped out of bed and quickly pulled my clothes on. I didn't even bother tugging a brush through my long, knotted brown hair, and instead adopted James' irritating habit of running his fingers through his hair.
I skidded down the stairs and ran straight into Moony.
"Sorry", I apologised. He smothered a laugh at my messed up bedhair.
"Come on, team, we're behind schedule by approximately 80 seconds", James ordered. Pranks were possibly the only thing he took seriously, apart from Quidditch and Lily Evans.
Sirius unfolded the invisibility cloak and flung it over us all. Remus, Sirius and James stooped over so that it would completely conceal us and we slowly inched our way into the Great Hall moving sideways like a crab.
The hall was almost full. We had awoken early to allow time for the prolonged journey to the Great Hall. Everybody was seated at the staff table except for Professor Kettleburn and the House tables were almost full. Much to our delight, Snivellu was present, sandwiched between Crabbe and Nott at the Snakes Table.
First of all, we jinxed the teacher's table. Remus did the honours. He swished his wand like an expert and the table glowed faintly for a moment like the book had described. James smacked him on the back, congratulating him on a job well done.
James covered the Slytherin table, Sirius the Ravenclaws and I took care of the Hufflepuff table. We sneaked out of the hall and whipped off the cloak which James hid in a hidden enlarged pocket. Together we entered the hall as if we hadn't a care in the world.
We headed towards our table and grabbed some toast and pumpkin juice. We stood against the wall and began eating our breakfast, chatting about some random topic but in reality we were surveying the hall. We didn't have long to wait.
Much to our delight, the first sign of a struggle occurred at the Slytherin table. A 6th year student that I recognised as Avery was trying to get up. I avoided the boys' gaze, trying and failing to stifle my laughter as he twisted around.
"I'm stuck, I can't get up!" The future Death Eater snarled, glaring at the seat as though he would love nothing more than Avada Kedavra it there and then. His Death Eater buddies broke into hysterics, that was, until one of them tried to get up.
"I can't get up either!" A dark haired girl shrieked. She began to mimic Avery's motions, but of course, to no avail.
By now, they had attracted quite a bit of attention. Most of their table began to wriggle and started to panic as they realised that they too were unable to get up.
"HELP!" A first year girl screamed.
Minnie's head swung around and silence descended upon the hall. She said something to Professor Sprout and tried to stand up. But she couldn't. Anyone who hadn't realised what was going on quickly copped on.
Within two minutes, almost everyone in the Hall was twisting and squirming violently, trying to break free of the invisible force that glued their bottoms to their seats.
It didn't escape everyone's notice that the Gryffindors had not been pranked. They also saw us rolling around the floor laughing.
"QUIET!" Dumbledore bellowed, standing up.
"How did he get up?" I hissed to Remus.
"I don't know," he answered.
Dumbledore took his wand from his pocket and began casting some immensely complex spells. His wand moved so quickly that it became a blur.
Eventually, after about ten minutes, everyone in the hall clambered to their feet.
"I thought you took his wand", James hissed.
"We did!" Sirius insisted, "Look."
Sirius whipped out the bunch of stolen wands and sorted through them. He passed Dumbledore's to James. James waved it impatiently and much to our surprise, a red fist came from the wand and punched him in the nose.
We burst into renewed peels of laughter.
"May I have those wands back?", A voice asked Sirius.
We turned around. It was Dumbledore. We looked at each other. Sirius dropped the wands and we sprinted out of the hall, choking with laughter at our unplanned escape.
Needless to say, we were sentenced to a month's worth of detentions, but it was worth it.
