What would happen? (Hogwarts marauders era)

20: A solved Problem

"Let's see here..." Remus passed the phials one by one, his eyes reading each label with caution.
I stood behind him, reading the labels on the other side. Me and him had parted the others to hopefully find something to aid us in our prank tomorrow.

My eyes squinted in the dark, the tags were too difficult to really read. I grabbed my wand and said, "Lumos."
The tip of my wand casted some light. I smiled when I found the right bottle and I turned around.
"Here we go," I said softly.

Remus grinned and excitedly grabbed it out of my hands. "I can't wait!" He giggled before walking out.
His excitement had come so suddenly that I needed a second to recover. I smiled at the childishness these kids all had.

The morning started out with me leaning against Sirius while Remus told both of us why breakfast was important to eat.
"I'm not hungry," Sirius complained, "Just tired."

"Maybe you shouldn't have stayed up then," Lily said sternly, "What were you doing anyway? Staying up?"

James rolled his eyes at her and the argument started.
I grabbed the toast Peter offered me kindly and took a small bite. My eyes were watery and I wanted to grab some coffee. I knew it would be a bad idea. But... I also knew the wonders of some good caffeine.

"Look," Peter said suddenly and everyone stopped what they were doing.
Quickly I grabbed the phial and put it on the ground, close to my feet.
The teachers now all were present at the breakfast table. Professor McGonagall sipped her pumpkin juice, Slughorn cut his eggs and Dumbledore talked to Professor Sprout.

"Ready?" I asked the boys. Lily frowned at me, but she didn't get a word out before I put my foot down on the phial hard and under my boot, the phial shattered into pieces.

While the glass of the phial mixed with the liquid inside of it. Remus waved his wand ever so slightly. We grinned at each other as the magic weaved together. There was a spark, not one you could see, but my eyes lit up when I felt it. Remus seemed to feel it to when his eyes lit up as well.

The magic suddenly broke when a ginormous dung bomb made its appearance above the great hall.

"Holly mother of Godric—!!"

The dung bomb fell down. The teachers let out some yelps as they jumped out of the way, and students ran towards the doors, not wanting to get caught up in the dung bomb smell.
The chaos was amazing. The five of us laughed as Lily looked at us with wide eyes.

"So... it was you?" She asked to nobody in particular.

When the dung bomb finally reached the table, it bounced. Surprise changed into panic when the student realised it was heading for them.
They ran and we only laughed, knowing the ball wasn't going to hit us.

The teachers were now recovered from the horrible scare, but the trouble wasn't over. Some teachers chased after the dung bomb, trying to stop it fro terrorising the students. Finally the dung bomb gave a 'bang!' And it exploded with a bright flash. With a small huff Flitwick put down his wand and glared out over the students.
"Who was it?" Professor Flitwick asked, "Come forth!"

The five of us stopped laughing as we heard it.
We send each other looks as Lily squished her lips shut.

"Has he gotten taller?" James whispered as he tried to hide himself behind his hand.

"No," Peter muttered, "He's standing on the teachers table."

"Wasn't us!" Sirius said jokingly, a bit too loudly and Remus hit him on the hand.

I sighed when Professor McGonagall got up and started walking towards us. "Bloody idiots."

"Potter! Black! Lupin! Pettigrew! (L/n)!" Professor McGonagall didn't come to near as Sirius hid slightly behind James. "Detention!"

As soon as the Professor turned around, we looked at each other before we silently laughed, hiding out smiles and giggles behind our hands.

You can't blame us for having some fun.

"All right," Prewett number one said.

"We might have been a bit cocky earlier," Prewett two said.

"But come on," Prewett one crossed his arms.

"You're just first years," Prewett two said.

"Who helped you out?" They both chanted at the same time.

It only took some glances before James said.
"Nobody, we did it all on our own."

"Yeah," Sirius said, "Without your help."

"And using the dung bomb," Remus added.

"Planking all the teachers," Peter finished.

I smiled and crossed my arms, looking up at the Prewett twins. "Told ya we could do it."

They glanced at each other.
"I suppose Hogwarts is in good hands," Fabian sighed.

Gideon as well sighed, "We taught them well."

"You didn't teach us anything!" James said but the twins were already walking away.

When James wanted to chase them, Remus held him back.
"Enough, come on, we've got stuff to do."

"Like what?" I asked curiously.

Remus smiled at me, "Did you forget? It's the last quidditch match of the year this morning!"

My eyes widened.
"It's almost been a year...?"
