Chapter 32:
The polyjuice potion was finally ready. "We just need to get hairs from the Slytherins." Remus said.
"Well we've got potions with them this morning," James said as he came up with a plan, Sirius you grab a hair off Avery. Remus you get one off Mulciber, Peter you can have Snape. I'm going to go for Macnair."
"How will we get it?" Peter asked.
"You can use a summoning charm Peter." James answered, "I'm going to go for a bit of transfiguration and make him fall off his seat. Remus, you can just go up to him and throw some potion on him accidentally. Black, just do your thing."
"Sounds easy," Sirius smiled.
"Sometimes the simplest plans are the best." James replied.
The boys quickly made their way to potions. Their plan went down without any difficulties. When they all had their hairs they placed a spell around them to stop people overhearing them. "We need to stun them later tonight. Maybe lock them in a broom cupboard."
"Why?" Peter asked.
"Don't be dense Pete." Sirius scoffed.
"We can't have two Snapes can we?" Remus explained.
"Oh…" Peter gulped.
The marauders started to make their way to history of magic. So far the day had been pretty boring. After potions, they had had defence with the Ravenclaws. A ravenclaw girl called Emmeline had asked James out via a note. James had almost blushed as he read it: Potter, I like you. Will you go out with me? Emmie was very pretty, James looked up to see her smiling at him. James nodded, before scrawling: sure thing, pretty thing.
"So Vance? Really? She's hot!" Sirius said.
"Yeah, she's alright," James replied. The boys laughed. James hadn't realised how many of the Hogwarts first year girls fancied him and Black.
"Second girlfriend of the year James? Black he's beating you." Remus laughed gently.
"I'll sort that out," Sirius nodded. "Oi, Lisa?"
"Yeah- yeah Black?" Lisa, a short but pretty Hufflepuff girl turned to look at him, she turned a deep red. She had blond hair that fell low on her back.
"How do you fancy being my girlfriend?" Sirius asked.
"Erm, sure." She answered, her voice rising several octaves.
The marauders leant against the wall as they waited to get into their history of magic classroom. Lily was stood a few metres ahead of them, with Snape. James couldn't resist calling out, "Hey Evans!" Lily refused to turn around; she continued her conversation with Snape.
"Oi, Evans!"
"What Potter?" She turned around, angry.
"I just wanted to tell you that I won't be asking you out again in the foreseeable future as I have a new girlfriend. Just in case you were waiting for me to ask you again…"
"Potter, that's great news. Now get lost."
"But Evans, do you mean to say, you aren't sad? I would have thought you'd at least cry," James said winking at Sirius.
"Potter, you heard her. Piss off." Snape interjected.
"I'd watch your language if I were you. There are ladies present." James mocked, causing several people to laugh.
"I'll hex you," Snape continued, pulling out his wand.
"Give it your best shot you slimy git."
Snape sent a hex at James, a red light flashed, but James had performed a shield charm just in time. The spell ricocheted off it onto a wall. "Potter, Sev, enough!" Lily demanded.
"I really don't have to listen to you Evans," James replied, sending his own spell at Snape. He deflected it as well. The boys put down their wands as they heard Professor Binns voice from the front of the line, "Come in, Come in. Quickly now!"
It was almost time, James and Sirius were hiding in a broom closet, "I never thought I'd be in here with you James. Lisa, yeah, but you not so much."
"Ha ha. You're real funny." James peeked out. They were waiting for Snape and Macnair. They'd already stunned Avery and Mulciber and they were bound with ropes on the floor behind them in the broom closet. "There's Snape." James whispered the incantation and then dragged the stunned Snape into the broom closet. Sirius took over James' post to watch for Macnair. When he saw him, he quickly stunned him and dragged him in, before binding his wrists and ankles. They quickly made to exit the broom closet, magically locking it as they went.
Harry watched as the four boys made their way into the room of requirements to take the potion. James summoned four glasses and poured polyjuice potion into each of them before handing them to his friends. They each added their hair and began to drink. It tasted foul. Harry could remember the time in his second year when He, Ron and Hermione had taken polyjuice potion. The taste of it still made him shiver in disgust.
James coughed his down. Sirius almost threw his up. Remus held his nose as he gulped his down and Peter just drank it quietly. Soon their bodies were changing. James and Sirius were losing a few inches, whilst Peter was gaining at least five. Remus' nose grew larger and his jaw line became sharper. Soon the four boys stood surrounding the cauldron were no longer Hogwarts most notorious pranksters but rather four Slytherins; Macnair, Avery, Mulciber and Snape.
Macnair quickly transfigured their robes to fit better and then led them out of the room of requirements down towards the slytherin common room. On the second floor they bumped into Malfoy and his girlfriend Black, "Alright boys?"
"Yeah, you?" Macnair asked.
"Pretty good. Ran into a few mudbloods…" Malfoy responded. "Gave them what for."
The boys laughed coldly. "You boys better get down to the common room before one of those pesky Gryffindors find you out after hours." Narcissa added.
"The password changed tonight as well, it's now 'Kiddalom'" Malfoy said before walking away with Black.
"I hate that git," Avery said under his breath. "I don't know what cousin Cissy sees in him."
"It might have something to do with his blood status," Mulciber scoffed. Harry followed slightly behind them, gradually getting more and more nervous, what if his dad got hurt?
The quickly made their way down to the dungeons and found the wall where the common room was hidden, "Kiddalom" Macnair whispered nervously. The wall vanished, leaving a passageway in its place. They slowly walked down the passageway and into the Slytherin common room.
Right well next chapter will have some of the things I've promised but not delivered yet...
