"Who are we pranking today, Mar?" Lily asked. They had already pranked two of the infamous Marauders, and were planning to prank the two others. Lily had to take her hat off for Marlene- she had the entire week of pranking planned, in extraordinary detail.
"We are pranking our lovely James Potter," Marlene replied, grinning, "we are going to make his glasses into a kitten."
"We are doing what now?" Lily muttered anxiously, causing Marlene and the others to burst into laughter.
"Wait and see, Lils Lils Bo Bills," Marlene said just as Remus arrived at the Great Hall clutching James's glasses onto his chest and walking pressed up against the wall in broad daylight like he was a spy or something and singing the Mission Impossible theme song loudly.
Lily grabbed the glasses and muttered, "If anyone will transfigure the glasses it should be me, I'm best at it, no offence."
"No, you aren't, Reme over there is," Marlene said pointing to Remus who had caught up with the rest of the Marauders.
"Well, he can't do anything from over there so..." Lily grabbed the glasses and rushed to an empty classroom. After transfiguring the glasses into a small kitten with small round shapes around it's eyes, Lily sat back, satisfied.
"I call dibs on having him first period," Marlene said.
"But you have McGonagall first period," Mary countered.
"Meh," Marlene grabbed the kitten and put it in her robe pocket.

"Good morning Professor McGonagall," Marlene said quietly slipping the kitten (conveniently named Lennon, although Alice insisted on not naming him) into Samuel Richards's sweater hood.
"Good morning Miss. McKinnon," Professor McGonagall said looking suspiciously at the normally mischievous girl's look of complete innocence. She noticed the slight slip of Marlene's hand as she quickly grabbed the kitten from the sweater.
A few minutes later, the marauders came into the classroom, late as usual, but the group seemed off, until she noticed James's uneven gait and abnormally empty face.
"Mr. Potter, where exactly are your glasses?" Professor McGonagall asked skeptically.
"Well as you can see professor, they are not on my face," James replied sassily.
"That is the point Mr. Potter, where are they?" Professor McGonagall did not sound very pleased.
"Oh well you see prof-" James started but was interrupted by sirius frantically tapping him on the shoulder saying, "James, James, that's the cupboard."
James swiveled around his heel to face the other side and repeated, "Oh, well, you see Prof-" when Sirius tapped him on the shoulder again saying, "James, James, that's Remus," and before James could turn again, Sirius grabbed his shoulders and turned him to face Professor McGonagall.
"Continue," Sirius said and James began for the third time his monologue.
"Well you see Professor someone has stolen them from my honourable self," James finished.
The entire room had by then collapsed into laughter that couldn't be controlled until about half the time in.
By then, Marlene had hidden the kitten expertly, and ironically, in James's cloak, and she retrieved him from the pocket as soon as class ended.
"Give me the cat!" Lily whispered as loudly as she dared to Marlene, as she had got very attached to the cat and refused to let Lily have him even though she had him during the entire morning. Lily had had the most amusing day, watching the annoying James
"Fine," Marlene said, giving up Lennon to Lily who safely stashed his sleeping body in her bookbag.
After several close calls and classes later, Lily sneaked into the Marauders's dormitory and left Lennon on James's bed with a simple note attached to him.

Dear James Potter,
This cat's name is Lennon. (Yes, like John Lennon). He will be of great significance over the coming days so take care of him well
Much love xoxo,
The Four Horsemen

"What is this?" James asked looking at the blurry shapes on his bed.
"James, it's a cat, and a note," Sirius answered pulling the note from around the kitten's neck and laughed while reading it.
"Well, James, seems like you have a new pet. His name is Lennon, by the way."
"Oh, Merlin," was James's only comment as he flopped into his bed.
