"We are taking the day off today!" Alice exclaimed.
"Why? We have a prank to pull!" Marlene said dragging Lily by the hand into the bathroom where there was a pile of folded boxes stacked against a wall.
"We can't all take the day off! That would be too obvious!" Lily fretted looking through her time table, debating which classes to skip. Finally, she decided on skipping Care of Magical Creatures and Arithmancy.
Since Lily had Care of Magical Creatures first, she and Marlene waited until the first bell rang and rushed to the Marauders dorm. Only to find Remus Lupin and Sirius Black sitting on a bed, waiting expectantly for them. When Remus caught sight of them he got up seriously, or as seriously as one can when one is wearing sunglasses inside.
"Let's cut to the chase," Remus said, whipping the sunglasses off his face, "Siri, here, figured out that I was your inside man and I'm here to make a deal."
"And what would that deal entail, exactly?" Marlene questioned, suspiciously.
"Make the deal or I'll shoot," Sirius said in a total deadpan voice not even taking the time to get off the bed.
"What does that mean?" Marlene whispered to Lily. Lily shook her head.
"Wait, Sirius, do you know what a gun is?" Lily asked.
"What's a gun?" Sirius asked, now interested.
"No! Siri, I'm the good cop and you're the bad cop. We went over this," Remus told him.
"Remus, can we discuss your deal?" Marlene asked impatiently.
"Yes, I'll make sure that Sirius doesn't tell anyone that you are the Four Horsemen if, and only if, you surrender your blackmail omaterial on me," Remuso to finished proudly.
"Make the deal or I'll shoot," Sirius said again, but this time with more gusto, and Remus smiled his approval.
"OK, first of all, Sirius, stop saying that. Second of all, I'll make the deal," Marlene began and Remus grinned triumphantly, "but only if you show the video to Sirius." Remus's face fell even though he expected there to be a catch. After thinking about it long and hard for about 0.5 seconds...
"Deal!" Remus said, quickly and Lily shared a relieved glance with Marlene.
"OK, now get out," Lily said gesturing to the door.
"Gladly," Sirius agreed as he started to sprint to the door but Remus grabbed the back of his robes.
"Hold one a second," Remus ordered, "the video." Remus held his hand out to Marlene and she dropped a flash drive into it.
"Yes! My precious," Remus whispered to the small object in his palm, petting it gently.
"OK, time to go, Reme," Sirius said , shoving him out the door and slamming it shut behind them.
...
Many hours of angry cursing and shouts of delight later, Marlene and Lily had succeeded in covering every inch of the Marauders dorm in cardboard boxes, each box weighted, and some containing a few of the boys' most prized possessions, including James's invisibility cloak and Sirius's blue nightcap with little stars embroidered on it. Lily had laughed for ages what she discovered it hidden away in his bedside.
And they wrote a note:Dear Boys,
Hi, as you can clearly see, your dorm is covered in boxes. Each of these boxes are weighted and some of them contain a few of your prized possessions, including your nightcap, Sirius.
Enjoy! xoxo,
The Four HorsemenBut what the Marauders dust know was that Marlene had paid Kevin Creevy quite a number of galleons to hide in one of the boxes wearing a Go- Pro and a clown costume.
...
"Goodnight!" James shouted down the stairs at the student he was talking to previously, while the other boys waited at the top of the staircase. He bounded up the rest of the stairs and opened the dormitory door to find boxes. Boxes?
"What the h-?" James exclaimed.
"Ah ha, a note!" Peter said as he ripped it from the closest box. James snatched it away.
"DearboyshiasyoucanclearlyseeyourdormiscoveredinboxeseachoftheseboxesareweightedandsomeofthemcontainafewofyourprizedpossessionsincludingyournightcapSiriusenJOY,XOXOTHEFOURHORSEMEN!" James read all in one breath and finished with a shout.
"James, I found your toothbrush," Sirius stated as he opened one of the boxes.
"Sirius! Here's that Beatles shirt you lost!" Remus said as he lobbed it at Sirius's head.
"Wow, thanks, Reme," Sirius groaned as he pulled it off his head, leaving his still pink hair a mess.
And so it continued, for a while, as the boys discovered their things in the boxes. Peter had found Sirius's nightcap and Sirius had shrieked like a banshee and grabbed it from his hand. It was down to four boxes.
"Let's each take one," Remus suggested and the others nodded in agreement. They each walked up to a box. "On three. One..."
"Two..." Sirius followed.
"Three!" They all flung thief boxes open. And James's ear-splitting scream could be heard echoing from every corner of Hogwarts as clown jumped out at him. Remus nearly had a heart attack and Sirius had ducked behind Remus in hopes that he could be protected with the power of oversized sweaters and unnecessary sarcasm, that when put together, Sirius thought, were a force to be reckoned with.
Peter passed out, falling to the floor like a rather short tree.
The clown, it's job finished, leapt out of the box and ran out the door, holding his curly rainbow coloured wig down to his head as if it would be blown off in his escape. Under the mask, Kevin Creevy sighed a heavy sigh of relief.
