*Alexdisappears*

ME: Uh... what an awkward conversation. I didn't understand a word of it. ON WITH THE STORY!

7 (A/N: Pooh, 7's the most magical number!)

'No Mr Black, you can't have my job.'

It seemed that the Sorting had ended and the rest of the hall had fallen silent to listen to Professor Dumbledore's welcoming speech.

'Why not?' Sirius asked. 'We're all set! I'm Headmaster, Remus is the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Peter is the caretaker and James is my Deputy and the Transfiguration teacher!'

Professor Dumbledore chuckled.

'Hem, hem,' (A/N: Who does this remind you of?) 'I want a job as well!'

'Ah my dear Gracie, you can have a job at my school as well!'

'Yes!' Gracie fisted pumped the air. 'Can I be the train driver/the trolley lady/the cook/flying teacher/Co-Head teacher?'

'Well, for 1,' James interrupted. 'You'll crash the train, you'll steal all the sweets, you'll burn the kitchen down, and you'll crash all of the broomsticks. And since when have there been 2 Head teachers?'

'Well, for 1,' Gracie mocked James. 'I would only crash part of the train with the Slytherins in it,' she nodded in the direction of the Slytherins direction. 'Because I know that Professor Black,' she nodded in the direction of Sirius (who looked delighted at being called a Professor.) 'I would steal all the sweets for all of the teachers, I wouldn't burn the kitchen down and I wouldn't crash all of the broomsticks. And just because there haven't been 2 Head teachers before doesn't mean there can't be now, in the future.' Gracie slammed a fist on the table to empathize.

'Professor Prewett, I'm sold. You've got the job!' Sirius grinned.

'Yes!' she clapped. 'Bye, bye!' Gracie waved mockingly at the Slytherins.

The Slytherin's were full out glaring at her.

'Continue Professor Dumbledore. Scratch that, I should be continuing. Along with my Co-Head teacher Professor Black.'

Gracie stood and gestured for Sirius to stand as well.

Both of them stood up in front of the teachers table (most of the teachers had frowns across their faces but a few, like Dumbledore, had grins.).

'Welcome back to Hogwarts!' Gracie yelled; her arms were stretched out in greeting.

No one replied.

'As you know, Professor Prewett and I recently took over the role of Head teacher from Professor Dumbledore.'

As Sirius said this, the 'former' Head teacher Professor Dumbledore sat down; an amused expression on his face.

'Yeah, recently as in 5 minutes ago.' Remus mumbled.

'Now as it is traditional for the Head teacher or in this case Head teachers we'll give our speech but we'll keep it short because we're hungry, you're hungry and who likes listening to speeches?' Sirius asked rhetorically.

Nevertheless, the students (apart from the Slytherins who were still upset over them not being allowed to Hogwarts) clapped at the end of Sirius's speech.

'So let's start,' Gracie rubbed her hands together. 'McGonagall- actually no- Minerva, you're fired! Along with Argus and Mrs Norris, she needs to go as well. Silvia (Madam Egg), you're going to. Oh and the new Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor,' Gracie looked towards the new DADA teacher.

He looked middle aged, had mousey brown hair, blue eyes and was average height.

James knew immediately that the new Professor was going to be much better than their last one.

Gracie grinned at the sight of their new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher and saluted him.

To everyone's surprise, he saluted her back.

'Professor Dam- Wonderstruck,' Gracie slipped up. 'Also, nothing is banned from this school anymore except for Slytherins. The Forbidden Forest is no longer forbidden, first years can have brooms, and there will be no curfew…' Gracie trailed off looking at Sirius.

Sirius nodded.

'For now, that's all we have to say. Let's eat!'

Sirius clapped his hand together once- James saw Professor Dumbledore do the same out of the corner of his eye- and the food appeared.

Mounds and mounds and mounds of deliciously looking and smelling food. Chicken, ham, beef, pork…

But the show wasn't over yet.

'Hey Albus!' Gracie called. 'I think you're sitting in our seat!'

She gestured to herself and Sirius.

'Oh I'm sorry.' Professor Dumbledore stood up.

To the surprise of the entire school, Professor Dumbledore made his way over and sat in the seat Sirius had previously occupied.

While he did that, Gracie and Sirius sat on Professor Dumbledore's throne like chair that sat in between the seats Professor McGonagall and Professor Wonderstruck sat on.

'You may begin eating!' they said to the gaping students.

Still stunned, students began eating and talking about what just happened only moments ago.

James filled his plate up chuckling over what hid best mates had done.

'It was rather amusing wasn't it?' Professor Dumbledore chuckled along with James. 'Yes, Mr Black and Miss Prewett are quiet the pair. I only hope I get a wedding invitation.'

Professor Dumbledore winked, taking a sip of his newly poured Pumpkin juice.

'I only hope I'm best man.' James commented brightly.

'Ah yes… I'm certain you'll be best man James… speaking of weddings, didn't Molly and Arthur get married over the summer?'

'Yes they did. I was there. It was a very nice.' James replied.

Professor Dumbledore nodded.

'How was your summer, Frank, Remus, Peter and James?' Professor Dumbledore questioned politely, inviting Remus, Frank and Peter into the conversation.

'Great,'

'Brilliant.'

'Good.'

'Okay.'

As James, Peter, Frank and Remus answered, James noticed some people watching them. Those nearby were even listening in.

'Good. I had a rather quiet and uneventful summer myself to be honest… reading books… visiting the Ministry… eating lemons drops…'

'Lemon drops?' Frank asked.

'Oh! It's a Muggle sweet I'm rather fond of.'

Professor Dumbledore dug into his pocket and dug out some small, yellow sweets.

'Would you like one?' Professor Dumbledore moved the sweets around in his hand.

'Um… no thanks…'

'No thank you, I'm fine with my pasta.'

'No, I'm okay.'

'Alright.'

The last one that spoke was James.

Professor Dumbledore beamed and handed James a sweet.

James popped the sweet in his mouth and immediately pulled a face.

'They are very bitter aren't they?'

James chocked a little before answering.

'Very.' He said after swallowing his sweet and downing a cup of water to rid the taste.

The remainder of the feast was spent telling jokes and stories (Professor Dumbledore even told them a few stories from his days at Hogwarts).

'Right, everyone has to go to bed as soon as the dessert disappears! We have business to do!' Sirius commanded and he and Gracie literally ran out of the Great Hall.

James looked at them in surprise until he remembered…

The prank.

Demanding Peter and Remus to get up with his eyes, they were the first ones out of the hall.

In the Entrance Hall, they looked around for Gracie and Sirius.

'Psssttt,' someone whispered. 'Up here.'

Sirius and Gracie were on the first floor on an almost like balcony.

James, Peter and Remus raced up the stairs, listening for the pounding footsteps of the students getting ready to leave the Great Hall.

'Get over here.' Gracie hissed.

'Where are they?'

Gracie dug into her pocket and pulled out a small, small, small crate.

James looked at it doubtfully.

'Engorio.'

Right before their eyes, the small, small, small crate grew larger, larger, and larger until it was a huge, huge, huge crate.

'Why is it that big?' James mumbled to himself.

And then James was pretty sure he heard hissing noises coming from inside the crate.

'James…' he trailed off with wide eyes.

'What?' she asked.

James didn't answer.

Rolling her eyes, Gracie reached over and opened the crate by putting a code in the keypad that was on the lid.

The lid swung open and James looked inside.

His suspicions were confirmed.

Inside the crate, were REAL snakes! Real, long, huge, moving snakes that hissed and slithered around in the crate. James quickly counted, there were 7 of them.

'Gracie… they're real snakes.' Remus said breathlessly.

'And?'

'We wanted FAKE snakes. Not REAL ones!' James nearly shouted, waking the snakes move around the crate worriedly.

'WHAT? No one told me that! Oh my Godric!' Gracie said. 'I had to carry them things around all day for nothing then?'

As if he understood Gracie's comment, one of them snapped at her.

Gracie recoiled in horror.

'Oh my…' she whispered, shaking.

'What are we going to do with them? Desserts almost over!' Peter pointed out, hiding behind Remus.

They all exchanged nervous glances.

'I don't want them near me for any longer.' Gracie muttered.

'Neither do I.' Remus, Sirius, James and Peter said in sync.

'Have they been fed?' Peter questioned as one slithered up the side of the snake.

'Yeah…' Gracie trailed off weakly.

'We need to get rid of these now.' Remus said.

'There going to escape!' Gracie cried as one of the snakes head peaked over the edge of the crate.

They backed away.

'No, no, no!' Gracie whined. 'Alex, get back in!'

'Alex?'

'Yeah, I named them, Alex, Steven, Jasmine, Wendy, Zoe, Bob and Laura!'

'You named them?' Sirius bellowed.

'Of course! They need names! Alex, no no no! Jasmine go back in! Help!'

The Great Hall doors swung open and the first Hogwarts students came out of The Great Hall and into the Entrance Hall, not knowing at all what was happening above them.

'What are we going to do?'

'They'll be up here soon?'

'Are we pranking Regulus or not?'

'We're not!'

'Why not?'

'They're REAL Sirius!'

'So?'

'They could kill him!'

'They've been fed!'

'There are 7 of them!'

'Merlin's beard!'

'We're going to die!'

'Someone do something!'

'GUYS!' Gracie yelled, making James, Sirius, Peter and Remus who had all been arguing with each other look at her.

'What?'

Gracie pointed at the stairs.

There, slithering down without a care in the world were 7 huge snakes, heading right towards the ground floor where the unknowing and unexpecting Hogwarts students were.
