"This is the part where you clap."

~~

March 28th, 1977

It was early in the morning. The Marauders were awake. Just from that someone could tell that something big was going to happen inside the walls of Hogwarts. There were only five times when the Marauders were up really early. One. They had never slept at all. Two. It was a member's birthday. Three. They had leave their studies for the last minute. Four. There was a Quidditch match on that day. Five -and most importantly. They were planning a prank. It was one of these times. And since no one had been pranked for a while now this time the prank would be something huge. Something that would go down in history. (That would be according to James who tended to exaggerate about his ideas.)

"Lady and Gentlemen," James started after he was sure that he had his friends' attention. "Firstly, don't sleep at my words!" His glance travelled through his friends who were sitting all four of them on the sofa looking at him giving his speech. "Secondly, in less than a week have, apart from El's birthday of course, April's Fool's Day!" He stopped and looked again at the four teens. "This is the part where you clap." He whispered and then claps were heard.

"Prongs just get to the point... I don't want to fall asleep on that sofa." Sirius said and rested his head on Electra's shoulder.

James let out a sigh of disappointment and with a really sad expression he sat on the floor and placed his head on Electra's lap. "Last time I checked Sirius was the dog for emotional support but okay." She said jokingly to the two boys and caressed James' hair.

"I just..." Started James with sadness in his voice. "Well, we haven't done anything for a while now. And I just feel like we should do something. Plus! It's April's Fool's... We owe this school to do something."

Remus smirked. "I'm sure Minnie might disagree."

"Not to mention Poppy" Peter said. They were completely right.

"Moony, Warms... There's no fun without danger." Sirius suddenly spoke and a smirk appeared on his face. James seeing that his best friend started liking the idea took courage and for once more he stood up to continue his speech.

"Unfortunately throughout the years our pranks weren't really appreciated. We all remember what happened, first year.

"Two Hufflepuffs were left without eyebrows for two years..." Remus said in memory of what had happened.

"And then second year."

Electra looked at Peter. "The portraits almost started a war and they weren't letting us enter the common rooms..."

"Don't get me started with third year!"

Sirius tried his best to hold back his smile but eventually gave in. "The house elves were chasing Dumbledore around because of the love potion."

"Then fourth year..."

"No one are anything because the food was turning to gold, Electra's idea." Peter said and looked at the girl who was smiling at the memory.

"Mythology has its uses apparently..."

"And well fifth year..."

Sirius glanced at Remus with a questioning look "what did we do last year?"

James looked at them surprised. He blinked and then looked at Electra trying to see if she remembered it. The girl shook her head. "I don't even remember being punished for something last year... I think we were keep telling that it was the first time I was spending my birthday out of detention."
