They pull thier first prank in revenge on Bellatrix.
The four boys sneak away to the corridor, Sirius was finding it difficult to keep his face blank as he imagined his cousins reaction as the dungbombs hit her in her smug face.
"Hey, Sirius!" James called his hazel eyes sparkling. "Have you got the dungbombs?" He asked. They had mail ordered them earlier that week, Sirius nods and tossed James the boxes. While the two black haired boys were setting the prank, James had Peter and Remus act as lookouts. While James and Sirius were setting up they ended up talking.
"Remus, out of interest. What's your blood status?" The straw haired boy asked. Remus responds with a rised eyebrow. "Not that it matters." Peter added in a rushed tone.
"Half, wizard father muggle mother." Remus was still tight in his shell, he'd had already known the other three boys for just under a month. Yet he felt something was forming between them some kind of bond of some kind. shaking his head reminding himelself monsters like him didn't have friends. After a litte while Sirius called out, Remus jumps as the young Black's voice reached his ears.
"Hey, Remus, Peter. We're ready in here."
"Well this is it." Remus said letting Peter led the way back into the class room. Making note to try to not hit the thin string that was strung along the door frame.
"Let's go before she catches us here." James said, leding the way out. The four boys beat a heasty exit, making a mad dash to the nearest boys lavtraies so James and Sirius could wash their hands of any lingering eveidance. Once they were done James led the way back to the corridor were the class room was located so they could watch it all unfold. They didn't have to wait long as mere moments later Bellatrix Black had entered, she didn't notice the string and set the prank off. She screamed and cursed, loud enough so Professor McGongall had bustled up and along the corridor. Peeves was also near by, hovering. All the while James, Sirius, Remus and Peter were holding back thier laughter. Raceing away up to the tower, they scrambled into the common room and collapsed onto the sofa infront of the brightly burning fire. Once they were sure that it was safe to do so they burst out laughing, James and Sirius using each other for support. Remus was chuckling himself and Peter was brushing the tears away as he to laughed along with the others.
"Oh, Merlin I'd would have loved to seen her face I bet it was priceless." Sirius said as his laughter died down. James knew that getting his own back on Bellatrix like this made Sirius happy, despite knowing Sirius for a little while, James knew that he wasn't like the rest of his family. Sirius was laid back and a natural prankster. James felt that both he and Sirius would get on just fine.
"Well then, I believe we have just pulled our first prank together. It's a big milestone then. With many more to come as we learn more magic the pranks will become more complex." James said mirthfully. A lopsided grin forming on his face. This made the other four grin in response. Remus started to get lost in his thoughts.
'Maybe, if I just pretend that I'm normal and stay with them they'll let me be thier friend.' He thought to himself. Shaking himself down again. James clapped Remus on he back still grinning. Remus forced himself to grin back. Under the faked mirth Remus's heart was sinking. He knew it would all be taken from him as soon as the others found out what he was. If only Remus knew how wrong he was.
I hope that enjoyed this chapter, I can only apologise for the late up load. In the next chapter I'll be jumping to the second year and when they worked it out about Remus.
