Growing up with the Mauraders (Book 1) UNDER SERIOUS EDITING

Chapter 14: A Day Full Of Pranks

Alot of POV's jump this chapter so bare wih me. 

James

"We will assume our usual positions," I state, "I plan the invasion strategy, Padfoot you'll add your own special quirks to the plan, Moony you've got our escape stagrety, and Wormtail you'll be the lookout."

The four of us are planning out are pranks for the day while we eat breakfast in the Great hall. After last night we decided we all needed a laugh. Thinking about it some more everyone needs a laugh, with this knew upcoming dark power who goes by Voldemort.

"Well for starters I think we should prank Snivellus first, it's practically a knowbrainer." Sirius starts.

"Easy done, but what will you do?" Remus asks, "What's the prank?"

"Ok here is what I am thinking," I say and start forming a plan.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sirius and I scurry down the corridor to the Slytherin Common room. Peter is at one end as a look out and Remus is at the other. Once we reach the portrait Sirius looks at me, "Shit! We don't know the password."

I smirk, "Oh but we do," I walk up to the portrait and say, "Pureblood."

The portrait swings open, luckily to an empty common room, "What how?" Sirius sputters.

"Head Boy remember," I smirk, "I know all the passwords."

"Nice!" Sirius exclaims and we walk in.

Another advantage of being head boy is getting a list of all the students and which room they are in, so if ever in case of an emergency Lily and I can check and make sure everyone is accounted for. Nevertheless I knew exactly where Snape's room was.

I sent Sirius upstairs to put hot pink hair dye in Snape's shampoo, that is if he uses any. His hair is so greasy. Sirius is also supposed to change all of his robes into Gryffindor ones. Both pranks should only last about a week and a half.

A few minutes later Sirius comes down the stairs grinning madly, "Set and ready to go."

I smile and we exit the common room swiftly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Wait what?" I exclaim.

"Um Sirius jumped ship. He's working with Evans now," Peter states.

"Why?"

Remus clears his throat, "That may be my fault. I told him would have to start being responsible and that I would not do his charm homework."

I look at Remus like he's got two heads, "Why. Why were you talking about that?"

Remus just shrugs and I run a hand through my hair, "How did Lily even become part of this?"

"Uh remember 4th year," Peter asks, "When she um pranked you?"

I freeze, "I told you we're never talking about that ever again."

"We know," Remus says, "But after that Lily's paid attention to when we prank. And she knows every year there's at least one day devoted to it. So I'm assuming Sirius went to go find her and gang up on us."

"Aslo she heard us at breakfast," Peter adds

"Shit then we're screwed." I state.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sirius

Lily and I are crammed into a corner of the library to think of a plan. Remus says I have to take responsibility and to stop acting like a child. Pft no thanks. So I inquired Lily's help, she luckily agreed. So far we made a fake club for people with Fabulous Hair, practically the whole school is in it but James. He went crazy, muttering his father invented awesome hair.

Lily also enchanted James' quills to only write. I am James Potter and I am a complete git with bad hair. We also did many other small pranks targeting just the Marauders and more specifically James.

I also thought of a plan to rearrange everything in Slughorn's room ¾ of an inch to the left, so he kept running into things.

Lastly, we changed all the house colors, names and crest so something completely ridiculous. Since Lily was head girl she had accessuss to everything.

We changed Gryffindor to Winchester, the colors were candy apple green and sky blue. The crest was then changed to a black muggle car and wings.

Slytherin was changed to Medusa, the colors became pink and gold, and there crest was changed to well Medusa with a sun.

Ravenclaw was then changed to Huckabee, there colors were purple and green, the crest was a bee and a moose.

Lastly Hufflepuff was changed to Avengers, there colors were orange and blue, there crest was a bear and a hawk.

"What's the plan for the grand dinally?" I ask.

"I've got it," Lily exclaims and leans over and whispers in my ear.

I smirk, "Lovely, let's get started."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

James

"Did I not tell you we were screwed," I mutter.

I was just walking and suddenly there was a puff of smoke and now I smell like wet dog and flowers. There was no doubt in my mind that Sirius and Lily were behind this or the several other pranks they pulled on us. Peter now sounds like a girl after drinking his juice at lunch, Remus shrunk about 3 inches after eating a biscuit, Although I am not complaining about that one I enjoy being taller than Remus. Not to mention Lily and Sirius made a fabulous hair club and I AM NOT EVEN ALOUD IN IT. How rude.

"We've got to get them back," Peter squeeks.

Remus nods. I run my hand through my hair,"I am working on it. We also have to fix your voice."

Eventually we form a [lan that's set for dinner.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Third Person

Everyone was seated in the great hall for dinner. Peter, Remus and James all shared a look of satisfaction while sirius and Lily did the same.

Dumbledore said a speech and the food appeared. After a few minutes everyone's hair was changing a different color, pink, blue, green, green and red, pink and orange, and some even tie dye.

Sirius smiles and nods, his hair a dark green , to Lily, her hair a mix of pink and blue. It looks like cotton candy. However Lily and Sirius' prank was short lived as people began talking out there voices weren't theirs.

Lily tried talking to Sirius but her voice was much more visually and sounded like a girl in her dorm named Marlene. Sister tried speaking only to sound like James. Professor Dumbledore went up to speak to calm everyone down only to sound like professor McGonagall.

Out of the corner of Sirius' eye he saw James, Peter, and Remus patting each other on the back. Sirius smirks, of course it was them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By tomorrow everything was back to normal, and it was like nothing changed. The house's name, crest, and colors were all back to what they were before. James no longer smelled bad, Remus got tall again, much to James' dismay. Everyone sounded like themselves. For the time being things were good and people almost gorhot them impending evil that was upon them.
