A.N So sorry I haven't posted in like ages but was busy writing an essay for physics and it took wayyyy longer than I thought it would Xx

The Great Hall was filled with the noisy chattering of students as Lily walked in with Marlene and Mary. " I can't believe we're in fifth year already, it seems like just yesterday we were the scared little first years waiting to be sorted." sighed Mary. Marlene scoffed and said, "Stop being so nostalgic, nobody cares." As they took their seats, the hall quieted. Dumbledore rose from the head table, "Welcome back to another year at Hogwarts. I'll save my big speech for after the Sorting, so without any further ado, please welcome this year's first years. Let the Sorting commence!"

"Arnott, Eilidh."

"HUFFLEPUFF"

"Anderson, Blaine"

"SLYTHERIN"

Out of the corner of her eye, Lily could see the Marauders whispering together over a piece of parchment. Bet it's another stupid prank she thought. Suddenly, James looked up. He winked and mouthed "Go out with me, Evans." Rolling her eyes, she turned her attention back to the Sorting.

"Hudson, Finn"

"GRYFFINDOR"

...

The Sorting was over. Dumbledore was giving his usual these houses are your family speech. And it was all the Marauders could do not to laugh. Because they knew what was coming next.

"Let the feast BEGIN!"

The first years gasped as plates of food appeared out of thin air. Everyone tucked in, and then the first screams began from the Slytherin table. Every. Single. One. Of. Them. had been turned into a Marauder.

Sirius (the real one) started rolling on the floor crying with laughter. James did the same. Even Remus was trying, and failing, to suppress his laughter as the Slytherins started shouting at each other,

"POTTER! GET BACK TO YOUR OWN TABLE!"

"I'M NOT POTTER, LUPIN!"

"WELL AT LEAST YOU TWO DIDN'T GET TURNED INTO PETTIGREW LIKE ME!"

"Hey, I resent that." Peter muttered.

Lily turned to James and Sirius with an accusing glare. "I knew you lot were up to something."

"It's all part of our image, sweetheart. But wait, you haven't seen the best part!" Sirius gestured to something hiding under the Slytherin table.

"Oh no. It's Sev, isn't it." Lily sighed.

Rushing over to Snape, she pulled him out from under the table. And immediately dropped his, or rather her, hand as she looked up at Minerva McGonagall. Laughter echoed round the hall as Snape's rather embarrassing new form was revealed. Even Dumbledore couldn't hide his smile as the real McGonagall stormed up to the Marauders and barked "My office. Now. And bring Severus."

"What did we do wrong Professor? It was the Marauders" James whined.

"Yeah, it was them." Sirius pointed at 4 Slytherin replicas of the boys.

Professor McGonagall turned and strode towards the Slytherins as the real Marauders ran out of the hall and up to the common room.

"Carpe Diem" James panted as the portrait swung forwards.

" Well, Paddy, Wormy, Moony, let's consider that a prank well done."

A.N I forgot to do this at the start but I do not own these characters, they are owned by the lovely J.K Rowling. Oh, and did anyone get my Glee references?

p.s I'm Scottish, so I might use phrases that seem weird from time to time X
