THE WAR HAD BEGUN WITH A BURST OF FLAMES. Lily Evans had given Peter Pettigrew a package of candies from the Hogsmeade, the boy's favorite kind and spelled it to burst into flame when he went to take a bite. It left the marauder with scorched lips and a shocked face. He had never looked so betrayed by someone. Lily Evans had pranked him in front of all of their friends.

"Bloody hell!" exclaimed Sirius Black from beside Peter,"Your mouth looks horrid."

"It looks like you tried to snog a dragon," Estella added jokingly as Peter ran his fingers lightly over his burned lips.

Lily and James were in a fit of giggles, and the Potter boy could not look more in love than he did now.

"Lily Evans, did you just declare war?" James questioned with a biggest smile any of them had ever seen.

"Why, yes, I did."

"I can't believe you would do this to me, Lil,"Peter complained,"What did I ever do to you?"

The Annual Marauder Prank War of 1976 had officially begun and oh, what a week it was. It was the last week of November and the Marauders were all in trickster moods.

The first day of war, Estella started out big and managed to transfigure herself in Severus Snape early in the morning. So when Remus turned over in the very small twin bed, he had the scare of his life. It woke everyone in the dorm up.

"Holy shit! What the fuck!" Remus screamed, quickly fumbling out of bed and as far away from her as possible. He hit the floor hard.

Estella quickly transformed back into herself and collapsed in laughter to the floor."Oh Godric! That was my best one yet!"

All the lads looked frazzled, clearly torn away from their deep sleep. James was the first to realize what happened, and joined in on the laughs. The others soon followed.

"What in the bloody hell, Estella?!"Remus asked, panting with a hand over his chest."My heart is pounding, damn."

After showers that morning, Sirius was livid. Someone had put some sort of hair loss potion in his shampoo. He stormed out of the bathrooms and to the common room with only a towel on his waist. His chest was soaking wet, but his shoulders were covered in hair.

"Why!?!"Sirius exclaimed in frustration at his group of friends that were waiting to go to breakfast in the Great Hall.

"Oh Merlin, make it go away,"Estella gasped. She would never complain about Sirius not cutting his hair ever again.
