Things still hadn't worked out between them (James and Sirius) and Gracie.
One morning, a few days after Quidditch try- outs, James and Sirius woke up with pink hair that fortunately came off 2 days afterwards.
The next day, Gracie woke up covered in honey.
James and Sirius the next day awoke to find 7 bunny rabbits in their dormitory.
Gracie had to, the next day; go to breakfast in the Great Hall in her pyjamas because she couldn't find her clothes. She found them decorated on the walls in the Great Hall. Including her underwear.
The trick was, they found out, was to use James's broomstick and fly up the girls' staircase.
The morning after, thousands of pictures of James and Sirius as Toddlers/ babies were hung around the castle.
James didn't know how Gracie had gotten the picture of him running around his back garden only wearing a diaper.
Sirius was also a bit freaked out as his picture was of him in the bath tub and his own mother didn't take pictures of him.
Gracie woke in the morning speaking Gobbledegook for a day.
James and Sirius's arms were temporarily un movable for a day.
Gracie woke with no hair that unluckily (for them) she grew back with a wave of her wand.
The next day she retaliated with writing "I am a git" on their foreheads in marker pen and charming it to stay on for 3 days.
Today, it was Sirius's birthday.
He had been given presents from James, Remus, Peter, Andy, James's parents, Frank and Sirius's own parents.
Sirius opened them in the 2nd year boy's dormitory, thanking everyone for his gifts. While he was there he also received a book from his parents titled "Pure-Blood- The Most Noble and Ancient families!"
Sirius gave it one glance before throwing it inside his trunk.
'No use at all.' Sirius mumbled.
James had noticed Gracie or any of the other 2nd year Gryffindor girls hadn't sent Sirius a present or even a card.
Sirius noticed this as well and frowned.
But… Gracie hadn't pranked them that morning. Maybe that had been Gracie's gift to Sirius.
The next day, things returned back to normal. James and Sirius were both turned pink. Hair, clothes and skin.
It was all pink.
It was the 31st of October the next day, which happened to be Halloween and Gracie's birthday.
Gracie had left him and Sirius alone on Sirius's birthday so in return, they had left her alone on her birthday.
Instead, at the feast celebrating Halloween later that evening, inspired by Gracie's own prank on them, changed the colour of all the Halloween decorations.
Let's just say bats don't like being turned orange.
And for good measure, they turned Professor Dumbledore's beard and hair from silvery- grey to bright red.
The cycle of taking it in turns to prank each other each day continued on normally after that.
Gracie had been nice today; James decided looking at himself in the mirror.
Yes. She had.
He and Sirius had been turned in to Lions. They had Lion suits on that couldn't be taken off. They had tails and whiskers as well. However, James had a huge mane and Sirius did not.
Sirius complained for at least 10 minutes after realising this made him "a girl".
Sirius also happened to have claws while James did not as he had to handle the Quaffle with his hands in an hour or so.
James realised why Gracie had done this.
Today was the day of the first Quidditch match of the year at Hogwarts and they were playing against Slytherin.
Today.
And Gracie was just happening to show some team spirit.
'Potter, stop admiring yourself in the mirror and get over here!' Dorcas shouted at him.
The team sniggered as he walked over and at down on one of the benches.
'Okay team. I believe we can do this today. I believe in you all. The Slytherins are no match for us. We have been training more, longer and harder.'
James agreed with her. He was very behind on homework (not that h really cared) because of Quidditch practices.
His muscles ached after every practice and he was always covered in sweat afterwards.
'We can do this!'
The team cheered and put their hands on top of each other in the middle.
'GRYFFINDOR!'
They put their hands in the air.
'Do Gryffindors proud you guys!'
'Look,' To his surprise Gracie came up to him. 'I know we're not on the best terms at the moment but I suggest that while playing in the match that we put all grudges and the like beside and act like team mates.'
'Agreed.' James said.
They nodded civilly at each other.
'And here are the Gryffindor team! Captain Dorcas Meadows!'
Dorcas flew out to cheers.
'Dirk Cresswell!'
Dirk followed after.
'Bilius Weasley!'
Bilius flew out next.
'James Potter!'
It was his turn.
He flew out and saw everyone in the stands cheering.
For him.
He grinned when he saw Sirius in his own Lion costume with Remus and Peter in the stands with Gryffindor scarves on and a banner raised between them reading,
"HIT 'EM IN THE HEAD JAMES!'
Which was kind of odd, James though. I'm a Chaser, not a Beater.
'Fabian Prewett!'
Fabian joined them on the field.
'Gideon Prewett!'
Gideon flew out after his twin.
'And finally, the Gryffindor Seeker, Grace Prewett!'
Gracie flew out on to pitch, waving.
'And now the Slytherin team,' Riley Jordan said unenthusiastically. 'Talkalot, Dolohov, Lestrange, Rookwood, Malfoy, Warrington and Mulciber!'
That's quite funny, James thought watching Mulciber. Didn't he bash into a goal post last time?
'The Captain's shake hands! The balls are released and they're off! CRESSWELL IMIDATELY TAKES THE QUAFFLE- PASSES TO POTTER-'
James held onto the ball and ducked as Bludger flew over his head. He threw it to Bilius.
'-POTTER PASSES TO WEASLEY- WEASLEY PASSES BACK AND-'
James threw the ball as hard as he could, feinting to the left and scoring in the middle hoop.
'POTTER SCORES! 10-0 TO GRYFFINDOR!'
The crowd erupted into cheers.
James grinned.
He could get use to this.
'SLYTHEIN KEEPER TALKALOT PASSES WHO MALFOY- WHO PASSES TO WARRINGTON- PREWETT HITS A BLUDGER AND WARRINGTON DROPS THE QUAFFLES- CRESSWELL CATCHES- PASSES TO WEASLEY AND WEASLEY SCROES! 20-0 TO GRYFFINDOR!'
The Slytherins were getting angry now.
'MULCIBER HAS THE QUAFFLE- FLIES PAST PREWETT BUT BASHES INTO DOLOHOV! MULCIBER DROPS THE QAUFFLE- CRESSWELL GETS IT AND SHOOTS! HE- misses…'
The Slytherins cheered loudly.
James managed to get the Quaffle again and score.
'30-10 TO GRYFFINDOR! BLUDGER NEARLY HITS POTTER FROM LESTRANGE- PREWETT SAVES IT AND HITS TALKALOT! WHAT? PROFESSOR- THA TISN'T A FOUL!'
Apparently it was, as Keepers couldn't be hit with Bludgers when the Quaffle wasn't in the scoring zone so the Slytherins got a penalty and they scored.
'30-20 TO GRYFFINDOR! PREWETT HITS A BLUDGER AWAY FROM PREWETT AND CRESSWELL- HE- HE- SCORES! 40-20 TO GRYFFINDOR!'
The game continued on.
Gryffindor scored 3 more times and Slytherin once. Fabian had missed and been hit with a Bludger somehow. He was oaky though. Mulciber nose started bleeding and the Slytherins called time out so they could sort him out. Slytherin had fouled once and damn. This Lion's mane was getting annoying.
'THE SCORE IS 60-30! WARRINGTON HAS THE QUAFFLE- THE SEEKERS HAVE SPOTTED THE SNITCH!'
Sure enough, when everyone in the game except for the Seekers of course looked up they say Gracie and Rookwood both bashing into each other to reach the Snitch a few feet in front of them.
Rookwood was far much larger than Gracie and was bashing into her and pushing her further away from the Snitch than she was doing to him.
Taking a chance to help a team mate, James flew up a couple feet away from them and said loudly.
'OI! ROOKWOOD! IS IT TRUE THAT YOU COULDN'T GET A GIRLFRIEND SO YOU KISSED YOURSELF?'
James said the first thing that came into his head.
'POTTER! WAIT- WHAT? THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE!' Rookwood shouted back, stopping and turning to look at him.
This gave Gracie the chance she needed. She reached forwards and caught the Snitch in her hands.
'AND GRAC EPREWETT CATCHES THE SNITCH! THE FINAL SCORE IS 210-30! GRYFFINDOR WIN!'
The crowd exploded into cheers, except the Slytherins of course and James flew back down to the ground along with the rest of his team mates.
They hugged and congratulated each other happily as Gryffindor's swarmed the pitch.
'Well done mate!' Sirius clapped him on the shoulder.
'You were brilliant!' Peter said in awe.
'You were very good James!' Remus grinned at him.
'Hey James,' Gracie came up to them. 'Thanks.'
'No problem.' He replied.
Surprisingly, she hugged him.
'You did great Gracie!'
'Thanks Remus! Oh look, I got to go! Marlene and that are over there. See you at the party!'
Gracie moved forwards the leave but Sirius held on to her arm to stop her.
'You did really well today.' Sirius said, looking at her carefully in the eyes.
Gracie gave him a small smile.
'Thank you.'
Sirius let her go and she began to walk away.
'Oh yeah!' she turned around. 'You 2 both look absolutely dashing in those Lion costumes. You should wear them more often.'
The party in the Gryffindor common room was in full swing.
The Prewett twins had snuck down into the kitchens and came back with loads of food and plenty more drinks. Alcoholic drinks.
He was sitting down with Peter with a group of first-years sitting around them and listening to him talk about the match from his point of view.
They all looked at him with admiration.
Sirius and Remus were having an argument over wither it was okay to have Fire Whiskey aged 13. Sirius was obviously all for it but Remus was against it.
Lily was with Marlene, Mary, Alice and Frank in a corner drinking Butterbeers and laughing.
The 3 Prewett siblings, Dorcas, Dirk and Bilius were all joking around with each other in a corner, bottles of Fire whiskey in all of their hands.
(A/N: Is not saying she is against under-age drinking and is not saying she is all for under-age drinking.)
Music and chatter echoed around the room.
James grinned when a first year told him he wanted to be just like him someday.
Yes, he could get use to this.
2 hours into the party and half of them was drunk. Remus had let them have a couple of sips of Fire whiskey but no more and the first-years had left.
'So what does it feel like? Winning a match?' Sirius asked.
'Awesome.'
'EVERYONE! EVERYONE!'
(A/N: Sorry for this again but thanks for suggesting this again! You have waited ages for me to write this! Sorry and thank you HEADSIMO1987! Also, sorry if this isn't how you imagined it.)
Everyone turned to face Bilius Weasley standing on the table with a large bottle of Fire whiskey in his hand.
Someone turned the music off and Bilius cleared his throat.
Bilius down the whole bottle of Fire whiskey to many cheers and then, then started pulling flowers out of his-
Some people looked away but many including James was laughing his head off.
Bilius bowed afterwards.
People clapped and the music started up again.
'Now, that was funny.'
Gracie walked over and slurred loudly.
And now they had to deal with a tipsy Gracie.
'Heyyyy, sooo why don't weee stop prankinn each othherrr noo more?'
(A/N: Sorry, but I ain't good at drunk speech.)
'Okay Gracie.' James said, trying to keep his laughter in.
'Whaaattt about you Siri?'
'I'll stop pranking you as well.' Sirius told her.
'Goooodd. Why don't youuu dooo what Billy did an pull flowers out offff yourrr-'
Fabian came over and slapped a hand over Gracie's mouth.
'Sorry 'bout that lads.'
Gideon came over and both of them dragged Gracie away.
When see wasn't in their sight anymore they burst out laughing.
'She-'
'-Drunk-'
'Flowers Sirius-'
They got tired soon after that and went to bed.
The next day, they didn't prank Gracie even though it was there turn to.
The day after, Gracie didn't prank them either.
