Opposite [Marauders Era]

Four; Halloween and Hufflepuffs

Astoria's POV

Its been almost two months since I started dating Remus, to everyone's surprise. It was almost Halloween, and I was planning the Maraudettes prank, like normal.

So, here I sat, writing one of the greatest pranks Hogwarts will have ever seen. The next day, I got my prank reviews from the girls.

"Genius."

"Brilliant."

"Greatest ever."

I smiled and we went to the Room of Requirement to get the shit we need and start action.

*Time Skip- Halloween Feast*

"So, its all set. And don't worry, I've been reading books about them. And were using a stick, not a wand." I assured them. "Okay, Cece, make sure you look scary. See you there."

The plan; well it was genius. Lily and I made our way down to the Great Hall while Berlin went to set up the fireworks and Cece waited for her entrance.

We sat down at the Gryffindor table and happily ate as I talked to the only other girl who knew our prank, Molly Prewett. Suddenly, the Hall doors banged open and Cece came in. Not to mention she looked ghastly.

Her hair was messy, she was covered in dirt and wearing shredded clothes. "Hey! How are you, Cece?" Lily asked, following the plan. Cece growled out,"Cruico." And I was the only one beside Molly who saw Lily wink.

On cue, Lily started screaming bloody murder. I fake screamed and yelled," Stop! Your hurting her!" Cece turned to me, obviously more hesitant about my part but she raised the fake wand and barely whispered,"Avada Kedavra."

I fake fell on the ground pretending to be dead. That's when hell broke loose: The students started screaming and running around. Some were petrified to the spot. 

"Astoria!" I could hear Remus yell. I suddenly felt horrid for not telling him that I wasn't really gonna die.

Just then, a bang erupted from the left side of the Hall. Our signature red and gold firework lion with our other firework green and silver serpent traveled around the Great Hall. I couldn't help it anymore; I burst out laughing.

And so did Lily, then Cece couldn't hold it anymore and eventually Berlin appeared next to us, doubled over with laughter. Y-you should of se-seen your faces!" Berlin laughed. "Wait? THAT WAS  A PRANK?!" I heard Sev yell.

Suddenly the Slytherin table started laughing then all the other tables joined and even the teachers chuckled. "Thank you. Thank you!" All the girls but me cheered as they absorbed the attention they were getting. Meanwhile I just rolled my eyes and went to the Slytherins.

"Damn Ash, you had us terrified!" Regules said with a shaky voice. I just laughed. "Sorry. I forgot to fill you guys in. Great though wasn't it?"

"Definitely." Cissy and Bella agreed. Suddenly all the laughed stopped and the table had dark faces. I turned and saw the Marauders approaching us.

"So, apparently you planned the brilliant prank huh Mai?" Potter said smirking. "Yeah why?" I asked. "That's my business. Just tell Evans she did great?" I rolled my eyes at him and shooed them away.

I realized that Remus wasn't with them. I looked around and saw him at the Hufflepuff table talking to some girl, Nymphadora Tonks I think.

What's that about? I thought but eventually shrugged it off and continued with the feast.
