Another Potter

Part 10

September 26.

~Victoria's POV~

'Well, yesterday was fun' was the first thing I thought when I woke up. I opened my eyes to see Sweets sleeping on me, I carefully lifted her off me and put her on my bed. I look over at Lily, finding her still asleep. Wait a minute, where are Mist and that other kitten?

~~Meanwhile in the boys' dorm~~

~Remus' POV~

Wormtail and I were talking in our dorm about who could have pulled the prank yesterday when suddenly Padfoot walks in with Prongs who is smiling like an idiot. ''So, what happened?'' I ask, knowing that something definitely happened. "Yesterday when Minnie, Evans and Victoria were escorting kittens, including us, back to the Gryffindor tower, Prongs and I decided that we would sneak away from the group. But Victoria noticed and told Minnie, Minnie asked her to go after us while she and Evans got the other kittens to the Gryffindor tower. Well, we were running for a good while and thought that we had shaken her off when we froze. It was Victoria who had cast a spell at us. She bought us back to the Gryffindor tower. When she entered the common room she walked over to Lily and randomly handed her Prongs. If you think that made him happy, just wait till I finish the story. So the two girls were chatting and out of nowhere, Victoria asked Evans why she hates her brother. Lily Evans admitted that she thinks James Potter is handsome. And then she said that the worst thing with him is that he's rude to people, especially Snivellus and Slytherings. Then they talked a bit more before paying attention to us. When they went to bed we followed them Prongs slept on Evans' bed and I on Victoria's, but we got back before they woke up" Padfoot explained, I chuckled at the story and Wormtail smiled. "Well, Wormtail and I were talking about who could have done that prank yesterday. Who else than us four would prank the whole school? Have any ideas?" I asked them. "Oh, I know," Prongs said, laying on his bed and staring at the ceiling. "Who?" Wormtail asked curiously. "Victoria Potter" Prongs said still staring at the ceiling. "Whaaaaat? How? How do you know? How are you so sure? Why?" Padfoot asked confused. "What? Well, she was the one who did the prank or at least the mastermind behind it all. How? Simple, a potion in our drinks or food. The only problem is that the potion is really difficult to make and if you do it wrong... the consequences aren't exactly nice, if not I would have suggested that prank a long time ago. How do I know? I was there when she first made the potion, I helped her a bit but she did the most 'cause she is good at potions and I'm not. But I was the one she first used the potion on, she turned me into a puppy. How I'm so sure? Please, I know my twin sister. Why? Well, that may be several reasons. Maybe just for fun, she's a prankster too. Actually, she started pranking before me. She kept turning my hair pink when we were eight and it took me one month to realize it was her" Prongs said and we all laughed while Prongs just chuckled.

"We should get to breakfast" Wormtail was the first one to say anything after the laughing. "Yup," Padfoot said and we started walking down to the common room. Being a Prefect, my eyes scanned the common room. Everything was like it should be. For a second I thought I saw a female Prongs but I soon realized it was no other than Victoria walking to the portrait and out of the common room, I don't think the others noticed. We walked out of the portrait and walked for a few more minutes before I saw Victoria again. "Hey Prongs, are you sure Victoria was the one doing the prank?" I asked him. "Yup" he nodded. "Well, maybe you wanna double check and ask her?" I asked pointing at Victoria who was like seven meters in front of us. Prongs thought for a second before he speeded up and fast-walked to his sister. Padfoot, Wormtail and I looked at each other before we decided to follow him. Prongs were to Victoria's right and I was on Prongs' right while Padfoot was on Victoria's left and Wormtail on Padfoot's left. "Hello, sister" Prongs smiled to Victoria. "What do you want?" Victoria said coldly, not returning a smile. "Ouch" Prongs put a hand on his chest pretending to be hurt. Victoria raised an eyebrow at him, "Fine" Prongs said like he was reading his sister's mind. "Did you do yesterday's prank?" Prongs asked his twin. Victoria answer surprised all the Marauders except Prongs. She rolled her eyes before saying "took you long enough to realize" and a smirk crept up her face. Me, Wormtail and Padfoot froze in shock for about five seconds, but the Potter twins had continued walking and had started a conversation. "...Maybe if you don't show off around her and be a bit more mature, she would fall for you? And don't be an 'arrogant toe rag' like she calls you?" I heard Victoria say when I caught up with them and I understood that they were talking about Lily. "Maybe..." Prongs mumbled. "What? When I suggested that you fell to the floor laughing" I said surprise over that Prongs is acting different around his sister. "Oh shut it, Remus! How close are you with Evans? They are already best friends" Prongs defended himself. "We have to those boring Perfect stuff together and she calls me by my first name," I said. Prongs rolled his eyes and the others laughed. "You must be the smart one out of the group, Remus Lupin?" She asked me smiling. "Yup" I nodded. "I've heard a bit about you, only good of course. And I'm assuming your Sirius Black?" She asked Padfoot still smiling. "The one and only! What have you heard about?" Padfoot smirked. "Um... Only bad" Victoria's smile disappeared for a bit and Padfoot's smirk disappeared, that made me, Wormtail and Prong laugh a bit. "You must be Peter Pettigrew" Victoria's smiled again. Wormtail nodded shyly. "Don't worry, I don't bite" Victoria gave Wormtail a friendly smile. "And what did you name your group again. Wasn't it something on M?" Victoria asked us. "Marauders" Wormtail spoke up. "Marauders? Like in Pirates that goes from one place to another looking for people to kill or things to steal or destroy?" Victoria raised her eyebrow at us. "Oi Vicky, when did you become so wise?" Prongs joked. "When I was born" Victoria joked in a duh-tone that made the Marauders laugh.

Now we had reached the great hall and we walked over to Gryffindor table. James and Victoria sat next to each other and opposite to Wormtail, Padfoot and me. "Hey Victoria, next time you do a prank would you maybe tell us?" Padfoot asked. "If the prank somehow involves you guys, then sure. But please, call me Vicky. Victoria sounds so formal, and I'm not the only Potter at Hogwarts. I don't want to be mistaken with the loser sitting next to me" Vicky said while loading food at her plate. Prongs faked looking hurt, but I think Vicky knew that Prongs faked it. "Aww, I'm sorry James! If it helps, your my favourite brother" Vicky smiled innocently. "I'm your only brother, I'm your only siblings." Prongs said with a straight face. "And that's why in forced to love you," Victoria said resting her head on Prongs' right shoulder. "It's good knowing I'm appreciated" Prongs smiled. By now Wormtail and I were laughing hard but Padfoot was laughing the hardest, he had fallen backwards and now laying on the floor still laughing. Because of that, he had earned many stares. "...Mr. Black, are you alright?" Professor McGonagall asked us. "No" Padfoot managed to say between laughs. "Oh I'm sure he's totally fine," Vicky said and Padfoot laughed a bit harder. Our Head Of House signed before saying "I agree with you Ms Potter" and walking up to the head table. "Oh Merlin, what a show. Your sister is funny Prongs" Padfoot said. "Prongs?" Vicky asked her brother. "A really old joke, but the nicknames have been stuck on ever since" Prongs lied. "Yeah. James is Prongs, Peter is Wormtail, Remus is Monny and I'm Padfoot" Padfoot said before he stuffed his mouth with food. Vicky nodded. "Wormtail, Worm-tail... Rat? Padfoot, Paw-foot... Dog. Moony, Moon... Wolf. Prongs, Stag. Right?" Victoria asked curiously. "What? How?" I asked turning pale. "Well, I know James' Patronus is a stag. So I assumed he got his nickname from it. And then I just assumed you got your's from your Patronuses too. Why was I wrong?" Victoria said. I got my skin colour back and lied "yes, we just got surprised how you figured it out so fast". "Anyway, I better get to class. I'll see you losers later" Vicky said and stood up. "Don't be late for Quidditch practice!" Prongs shouted after his twin sister as she walked out of the great hall. When Vicky had exited the Great Hall Prongs said: "she is to smart for her own good".
