Denial is First Step to Acceptance

5. Chaos in Class

haha, i had a bit of fun with this chapter (: and i forgot, THANKYOU hisimperfectangel25, great advice, i just forgot to thankyou ^^" ill try to keep my POV simple :L but from now on, most of its gonna be Robin POV

lotsa dialogue, but here goes:

teFirst up is Transfiguration, with Professor McGonagall.

“Did everyone complete their homework on vanishing spells?” McGonagall said.

“No Minnie. It was quite useless, really, I’ve learnt it already” James said loudly.

Sirius and I stared at each other horrified and Remus gave us a confused look.

“Mister Potter, I would ask you to address me as Professor McGonagall please? Is that too hard to remember?” McGonagall said stiffly.

“I know how to say McGonagall Minnie; it’s just a whole lot shorter. Would you like me to show you the vanishing spell? Minnie?” James said, as though he hadn’t a care in the world.

“Detention Potter. And you two, Mr Black and Miss Potter. I have the right to assume you were egging him on.” McGonagall said, her lips becoming a thin white line and her nostrils flared. “My office, 8:30 pm sharp. No excuses.”

“Alright Minnie, don’t get your knickers in a-“ James had said, but was cut short by me and Sirius covering his mouth. Remus shot us a look and mouthed what the hell?

“Thankyou Black, Potter” McGonagall said curtly. “Now, before mister potter disrupted the class, may we continue practicing the vanishing spell?”

Second, was Charms, with professor Flitwick.

Sirius, Remus, James and I walked in and we all sat and took our places. Except James.

“Sir?” James said.

“Yes, Mister Potter?” Flitwick squeaked.

“ I don’t mean to be rude or anything professor, but, how did you become so short?” James said, looking pleasantly confused. Flitwick looked at him shocked.

“At least he sort of respects Flitwick when he’s lost his mind.”  I whisper to Sirius.

Remus leans over and hisses, “What the hell. Did you do?”

“Just a bit of Veratsium in his morning pumpkin juice.” I said.

“Geniotic yes. But today of all days? Should it have been a weekend? Without 3 teachers today?” Remus said.

“I suppose it was stupid. But he did deserve it for what he did yesterday.” I spat.

“I’m sorry Mister Potter, does my height disturb you?” Flitwick said, his voice not being its squeaky cheerful one.

“No sir, would you like me to rest this argument?” James said.

“Yes. Please do Potter”  Flitwick said in his icy voice.

James sat down, and class luckily went on as usual as everyone filled in.

“Sorry Professor Flitwick, he accidently had some veratsium.” I said apologetically. “But at least now, you know when he’s lost his mind in veratsium, he still has some respect for you right?”

“Yes. Indeed. Now, I don’t doubt you will be late for next class if you dally around here for much longer” Flitwick said, with a less icy voice.

“Yes sir.” I reply, then said quietly as I walked away from Charms classroom, “but next session is lunch.”

“James? Did you realise how lucky you were not getting detention? Not even docking points?” Remus asked incredulously.

But James was back in Lilyville. I couldn’t be bothered to whack him. We stopped and sat below a beech tree near the lake. I lay my head on Sirius’s shoulder and he said hopefully, “Is gorgeous finally falling for me?”

“You wish” I said, winking at him.

“I may have to if you don’t soon enough.” Sirius said slyly.

“I’ve been thinking, should we all become like, a group of pranksters? And have a group name?” I said, mainly towards James.

“Why not, and be remembered by everyone by our one million pranks” James said.

“The Four Amigos?” Remus suggested.

“SMFAH Pranksters? As in Super Mega Foxy Awesome Hot Pranksters?” Sirius said.

“Just cause you are... How  bout the Marauders?” I suggested.

“Glad to know that gorgeous thinks I'm Super Mega Foxy Awesome Hot.” Sirius winked.

“It’s settled, we four, the Marauders. And I had a thought, let’s become...” James said, his voice growing softer, “illegal animaguses.”

The four Marauders contently talked about pranks for us to do, and settled for turning the whole of Slytherin common room to go red and gold, and their uniform red and gold.

“I think its time to go back to class. Divination today.” Remus said.

“Cant we skip it, Trelawney freaks me out” James said shivering slightly.

“iddle Jamesie scared of ‘Lawney?” Sirius cooed.

He received a  sharp slap for his remark. They all decided to spend the 3 hour session instead of going to Trelawneys stifling hot classroom to plan out the Slytherin  Prank. They left to go to the library, where Madam Findole, the librarian let them in.

“Just don’t prank the library, and I won’t say a word about you skipping class” She said idly as they walked in.

They all nodded and sat at the nearest table. Madam Findole was the youngest teacher in Hogwarts, so she knew how it was like to be young. Within 2 hours, they got most of the plan fixed. And the Remus agreed on brewing the potion later.

At 11pm tonight, we marauders would set off to the Slytherin common room, the password was obvious, the pureblood freaks. We went in and thankfully found the common room empty. Sirius ran over and summoned all their uniforms to me and I would conjure up some Gryffindor cloth patches and sow them on with an 24hour sticking charm, James and Remus would change anything green to red and silver to gold. James wanted to make snivellus’s robes hot pink, but I told him lily would hate him. But I don’t know, I thought I saw a bit of pink poking through a pile of black robes.

“And for the finishing touches” James announced.

We looked up and pointed out wands to the common room entrance, and while James pulled out alot of golden cloth with bits of red visible, we whispered, “Wingardium Leviosa!” And the cloth floated up towards the top of the entrance and it said: brought to you by the marauders of Gryffindor!

“Brilliant!” I squealed, and we all scurried out of the Slytherin common room.

Tomorrow may just be worth getting up early.
