29th November 1971

As the end of November was approaching,the weather turned gloomy and wet.
This had also affected the prank that the marauders were up too.

The Hufflepuff v.s. Slytherin Quidditch match had been cancelled several times,due to bad weather and people on both teams being sick.

Today,however it was on,

"Why can't we get an invisibility cloak,or something?"Lucia groaned,as the 5 moved towards the common room."Now I have to keep reapplying this stupid charm!"

"I'll get you one for Christmas,"Sirius offered.

"Please do."

"What's the password?"Peter asked.

"Serpent,"

The wall slid open,letting the 5 students through.

The Slytherin Common room was deserted.

"Woah!"James exclaimed."I never expected the Snake pit to look like this!"

"Right let's get to work."

"Astrictus,"A couch stuck itself to the ceiling.

"Astrictus,"A desk stuck itself to the ceiling.

"Astrictus,"A sofa stuck itself to the ceiling.

"It actually works!"Sirius exclaimed.

"No then,Sherlock ,"Peter muttered.

"Who's Sherlock?"

"Someone,"Remus waved his hand,dismissing the conversation."Let's get back to work."

15 minutes later,The Marauders were inspecting their handiwork.

"Not bad really,"Lucia muttered."Let's go play the prank on Snivilius,"

"Where do you think Snivily's dorm is?"James asked.

"There,"Lucia said,pointing.

"How do you know?"Sirius asked.Then he looked at her."You haven't been sneaking to his dorm have you?"

Lucia gagged."Of course not!"

"Then how do you know?"James demanded.

"Honestly,can you two not read?"Lucia pointed out."It says it there.'Severus Snape'.Seriously learn to read!"

"To be fair,Lou,I don't think they know how to read."Remus said.

"Alohamora,"
James pushed the door open but it was still locked.

"Looks like we're going to have to pick it,"Lucia sighed,pulling a bobby pin from her hair.

She straightened the pin and then bent the front of it and pulled a second bobby pin out.
She then wiggled both of the pins in the lock.

Click.

James' and Sirius' eyes widened.

"No way that worked,"

Lucia shoved the door open."Mission 2 part 1 successful!"

"It worked!"Sirius muttered."It actually worked!"

"Hurry up!"

Remus and Peter were working on the door;while James,Lucia and Sirius worked on the shower.

James twisted a bolt so the pipe that connected the water and shower head was disconnected.

"Pour this into the pipe,Siri,"Lucia hissed,passing him a bottle of shampoo."And do it quickly!"

James quickly re-screwed the pipe and shower head together.

"Done!"

"Come on,"Sirius urged."We're running out of time!"

"You two done?"James asked.

"Nearly,"Peter panted.

"We just need to get this bucket up there."Remus pointed at the door.

"Are you a wizard or not,Remus?!"Lucia,Sirius and James exclaimed at the same time.

"Oh,"Remus muttered."I forgot.Wingardium Leviosa,"

"Perfect,"Peter said.

Lucia was muttering something unintelligible under her breath.

"Right let's go before the snakes come!"James yelled.

"Protege disillusiono,"
