Chapter 9: PRANKS AND ROMANCE

Chapter 9: Pranks and Romance- Look at this miracle! She said yes!

James POV

"So, Prongs what do you have in mind?" Sirius asked as we made our way to the dungeons, with Lily, Hermione and Ron behind us.

"Hmm" I said "It should be a classic, you know like a similar one we already played on him"

"Yes, I agree with that," Sirius said, "but which?"

"Well, levicorpus for sure," I said slowly "And then we could..."

"Let's see," I said after thinking about it for some time, "we'll be in the potions classroom, which means a lot of potions and ingredients... And which ingredient does Snielly hate the most?"

"The extra slimy slugs!" Sirius almost shouted.

"Why does he hate extra slimy slugs?" Ron asked.

"Well in our first year we said we were going to prank him big time," I started.

"And it was our first prank," Sirius continued, "at potions we stole the extra slimy slugs. After that James tripped him as we were going to charms and Remus, after a reasonable amount of persuasion, picked up his bag and I spilled all the slugs inside it. When he opened it at charms. He reached for his quill and instead he pulled out a handful of extra slimy slugs!"

"It was a MESS", I added.

"Yes anyways, everybody knew about it and Snape got his very first nickname: 'Slug boy'" Sirius finished telling the story.

"Guys!" we heard somebody shout. It was Harry.

"Oh, hi Harry," Lily greeted him, but didn't make eye contact.

"Wanna join us?" I asked.

"Depends," Harry said cautiously, "what are you doing?"

"We're pranking Snivelly, of course!" Sirius exclaimed cheerfully.

"And who is that supposed to be?" Harry asked.

"He also goes by the name Severus Snape," I told him with a chuckle.

"Oh, no thank you, he'll give me detention if I'm anywhere near a prank." Harry said.

"Don't worry, we'll all get detention!" I said and pointed at our friends, "we're also dragging Ash, Mione and Ron down with us."

"Okay, fine," Harry gave up, seeing Hermione is going as well. "what's the plan?"

"We were just formulating one," Sirius said, his voice containing a professional note to it.

"Yes, so," I started ", first Levicorpus, then we say hello Snivelly, chuck the extra slimy slugs, cast the slime charm and RUN!"

I hope you like the idea of the prank :)

_______SNAPE'S OFFICE_______

"Good day professor," Hermione said, as she and Lily (who was wearing the most sad look on her face) entered his classroom, while we were standing outside, waiting for the proper moment to start.

"What do you want miss. Granger, Smith?"

"Well it's about the essay you assigned us," Hermione started. I looked around. Many students were to be seen.

"When I say now," I whispered to Sirius and he nodded. After a few minutes I could hear Snape say:

"Well I think everything you're looking for will be in the lib-"

"NOW!" I shouted and pointed my wand at Snape and casted the spell. He was pulled into the air by his ankle.

"Hello Snivellus," I said pleasantly and watched his face as it darkened. He looked ready to kill us. How amusing. Sirius laughed.

"Tell me," he said as he pointed his wand at the jars on the shelves, "does this remind you of anyone particular?"

Before Snape could react, Sirius levitated the jar with Slugs + slime written on it. Ron opened them with his wand, from behind the door. Snape's eyes widened at the sight of the open jar and watched Sirius, as he quickly cantered it above him and then turned it over, spilling all the contents on top of him. Nearly everybody laughed and Snape was now ready to kill and destroy Hogwarts. 'Why didn't we bring the camera?' I thought to myself.

"Detent-" Snape growled, but before he could finish, Sirius casted the slime charm and aimed it directly into his mouth. And at that moment I let go of the charm and we ran for our lives.

"Er professor, we'll just go to the library" was the last words I heard.

_________COMMON_ROOM____________

"That was bloody brilliant" Ron said, and Harry nodded, we were all still panting from all the running.

"I still don't understand," Lily said slowly.

"Well Ashley, it was because he is a mean git," I told her and she gave me a disapproving look, "and don't deny it!"

"But still..."

"Was it funny?" Sirius asked.

"Well not as funny as you think it was."

"So, it was funny," Sirius concluded, "in that case don't feel bad about it or make others feel bad about it." Lily decided to drop the topic and sat down on the sofa.

"Er, Ashley" I said slowly after a few minutes. I pushed my hand through my hair and approached her.

"Yeah?"

"Well there's a Hogsmeade trip just before the holidays and I wondered if you would like to spend it with me." She looked at me.

Lily POV

"Well there's a Hogsmeade trip just before the holidays and I wondered if you would like to spend it with me." I looked at him. This time was the first time he asked me out in a polite and nice way. Should I say yes? Should I give him this chance?

"Okay Jake, I'll go on a date with you, but only one date," He looked at me. His eyes were full of joy.

"Cool," he managed to say, but Sirius on the other hand started yelling loudly, his arms were in the air.

"Look at this miracle! She said yes!"

"SIRIUS!" I heard Harry shout. I looked up in shock. How could he find out?

"What?" Sirius asked loudly and James elbowed him.

"In the fire," Harry said.

"Not again," Hermione mumbled as she walked towards the fire and got on her knees. Sirius also approached the fire, only to see himself staring back at him. Without any thinking he yelled:

"I GET OLD?!"

Harry looked at him weirdly, but decided not to bother, and turn back to the actual Sirius.

"Harry who is that?" Sirius asked.

"Oh, that's Ashley Smith, Jake Brooks and Charlie Grey," Harry introduced us.

"They are on your side, don't worry," Hermione assured him.

"Okay," Sirius in the fire said slowly, "why do these names seem to be so familiar? Give me a second will you..."

He started thinking hard. He stared at James, at himself, back at James and then looked at me and back to James. After a minute of silence his eyes widened, as he jumped up in excitement. He remembered us.

"Never trust a rat!" He yelled at James like a parent. Harry looked at him in confusion.

"We better go," I said and dragged young Sirius and James, who gave old Sirius thumbs up, along with me. That was an odd day.
