"Lily! Get up we need to recruit Remus!" Marlene yelled from two beds away causing the redhead known as Lily to wake from her peaceful slumber.
"Where's the murderer? Who was killed? Wait, Marlene...?"Lily trailed off from her panicked frenzy and did a double take, seeing Marlene sitting on her bed, papers spread all around her like the sea around an island, "Marlene! What are you doing up at five in the morning!"
"I'm thinking! Quietly. In my head! Or I was, at least." Marlene admitted, quite loudly, in fact, it was loud enough to wake up Mary from her sleep as well.
"Well, keep your bloody thinking to yourselves because some people want to sleep at five in the morning, " Mary huffed, annoyed, and turned so that her body was turned away from the two. Alice, on the other hand slept through the entire, and rather loud 'discussion'.
...
A few hours, a long shower and a hearty breakfast later, Lily was ready to find out what Marlene had to say.
"So Marlene, what was so important that you had to tell me at five o'clock?" Lily asked, causing the two other girls to bend over the breakfast table to hear Marlene's answer.
"Well.... I was thinking that we should recruit Remus Lupin... for the pranking thing," Marlene whispered due to the Marauders sitting about two feet away from the girls.
"Why, though? Lily asked, worried.
"Because we need an inside man in the Marauders, duh silly," Marlene said with a lopsided grin.
"Oh, no he's not going to betray his darling Marauders that easily," Alice voiced.
"Ha, but have proper blackmail material on him," Marlene smirked deviously.
"Oh, and what would that be?" Lily asked, genuinely worried for her friend's sanity.
"I may or may not have paid James to take a video of Remus who may or may not have been drunk and he may or may not have gotten into a drunken rap battle with a very large man and our dear Remus may or may not have face planted into a plastic pot of pebbles," Marlene said, her voice getting progressively louder as she spoke. Lily shushed her before the Marauders could hear, but they were too deeply in conversations whilst stuffing their faces with copious amounts of food. Little did they know that Remus's heightened werewolf senses did indeed hear this little piece of information and Remus did not want Sirius, or anyone for that matter, finding out about his escapades whilst intoxicated. Therefore, after breakfast he rushed to the four girls, a panicked look on his face.
"What do you want me to do, just don't tell anyone about the rap battle thing...." he trailed off, the scared look still not leaving his face.
"Oh, give me one reason not to," Marlene taunted.
"I don't want anyone to know about my mad rapping skills," Remus stated like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Riiiiiiight, well, in that case, you won't say no to help us in some pranks against your precious Marauders will you?" Marlene asked mischievously.
Remus shrugged, "what should I do?"
"Hold on, first you must pledge allegiance to the Four Horsemen," Alice told him.
"The four what now?" Lily asked, confused, Remus had to agree.
"Mmhmmm.... me and Marlene discussed it yesterday," Alice explained.
"Fine, I pledge allegiance to the Four Horsemen," Remus said, sighing.
"Well then, this is the plan....." Marlene started, explaining the entire week's plan.
...
"I can't believe it! My hair! It's pink!" Sirius exclaimed angrily.
"I can't either mate, " his best friend James agreed, Remus stood behind them quietly chuckling to himself.
During lunch, thanks to Remus's excellent help, the Four Horsemen changed Sirius's shampoo bottle to have a neon pink dye and causing Sirius to have semi- permanent neon hair.
At dinner Sirius had an announcement to make, so he got onto the table between some dishes of mashed potatoes and soup.
"This message is for whoever ruined my beautiful locks of silk," Sirius said, his voice magically altered to be louder, "You are officially in serious trouble, so change my hair baaack," he whined like a small child.
The girls as well as the rest of the school laughed as no one stepped forward to change his hair back. His silver eyes scanned the crowd, searching for the culprit, making Marlene's back shiver slightly.
"Hmphf," Sirius huffed as he stomped his foot on the table making Remus snort with laughter. "Fine," Sirius said, disappointed that no one was intimidated by his little announcement. Why was Remus laughing at his speech? He should be terrified. Deep in thought, Sirius simply forgot that he was stood on the table until...
"MR. BLACK, PLEASE REMOVE YOURSELF FROM THAT TABLE," McGonagall scolded, angrily.
"I'M SORRY, MINNIE," Sirius shouted back as he leapt off the table and landed gently on his feet. Then he sat down in his place across from James and Peter, next to Remus. Having taken his seat, Sirius waved jovially to Professor McGonagall through the crowd of people reaching for food.
That night, Sirius tried- and failed to wash the dye out of his hair, resulting in the dye turning into a brighter pink, and went to bed with a mess on his head, still grumbling, and having earned a new nickname from James. Tinker Bell. But everyone knows, Sirius thought, that Tinker Bell had blonde hair....
