We are infinately sorry about not posting for so long! Unfortunately, part of growing up is gaining new responsibilities, and Prongsie and I simply were busy with some of those. We plan to quickly finish this story, as we're both Juniors, and want to finish our three year old idea, even if we've sort of out grown it. Well, we sincerely hope you enjoy this new chapter, and apologize for the previous bad writing!

The next day, Lily, Lyra, and Mica couldn't contain their laughter as the trio walked out of History of Magic. They had decided to pull the prank during that class for many reasons. Firstly, they had Slytherins in the class, so they could easily acquire a tie. A little distraction from Lyra here (she may have 'innocently' bent over a little too far), a little wand work from Lily and Mica there... Piece of cake.

Secondly, Professor Binns would never notice them transfiguring the green 'S' on the tie into their desired pink 'S' Siren logo; and lastly, the Marauders, like most students, slept in that class. All in all, placing the tie was simple. The plan went without a hitch, and the girls giggled as they headed to their common room.

They arrived before the boys, and dutifully got started on that nights homework. The potions essay was grueling, and the girls were too enraptured with it to notice when the boys walked in.

"How the hell are we supposed to know how many times to stir Felix Felices?" Mica asked, throwing her potions book at the wall. "We've never brewed it!" She added with a huff as Lyra glared at her for throwing a book.

"Here, Love," Sirius cooed, sidestepping Lyra's feet and handing Mica back her offending textbook. He glanced at the glare Lyra was still giving him and shuddered.

"Thanks," Mica grumbled, kissing him on the cheek. "When did you get in here? I didn't notice." She asked her boyfriend, looking back to her text book.

"Oh... A few minutes ago," He answered with a shrug. "We saw you girls studying, and figured we shouldn't bug you." Sirius smirked at this. Remus had been the one to stop the loud and annoying ruckus James and Sirius had planed to make.

"Aww! You guys are so thoughtful," Lily commented in a somewhat sarcastic tone. She had no illusions about her boyfriend and his best friend. Sirius just stuck his tongue out at her. His demeanor of always joking seemed to be rubbing off on Lily.

"Thats good! You shouldn't bug us!" Lyra scolded. "Mica still has way more homework than the rest of us!" She added, shooting Mica one of her 'mom' looks. Sirius just chuckled and turned to walk away.

Mica noticed something poking out of his shirt, and forgetting about their prank in her homework frustration asked: "Hey Siri! What's on your back?" Sirius reached behind him with a confused look plasted on his face, and pulled off the object. Before he even had it around to the front of him, all three girls realized what it was. None of the Marauders had noticed the Slytherin tie on Sirius yet, this was not part of their plan. Even Lyra( the house unity buff) was appalled by the fact that a Slytherin object had made it's way into their sacred common room. This was nothing compared to Sirius' reaction however.

The girls watched as, as if in slow motion, Sirius bring the tie up to his. His eyes grew wide as he stared at the object for only a split second before tossing it in the air and screeching, "bloody hell I touched a Slytherin tie!" He hadn't noticed the custom logo.

The girls watched in horror as the other occupants of the common room heard the boy. It was the girls turn to have wide eyes as the common room seemingly exploded. A Slytherin object in the Gryffindor common room was sacrilege.

Sirius ran frantically towards the nearest object, and wiped his hands on it. Unfortunately, that piece of parchment was important. "NO! Not my homework!" A dark-haired fourth year screamed from the other side of the table. "Now I'm going to have to burn it!" She took out her wand and attempted to hex Sirius as her desire to burn something defiled by a Slytherin object resonated with the Gryffindors, who all looked up to make sure the tie was still in the air and had yet to touch anything else.

A third year nearby screamed as the tie floated an inch from his shoulder on the way to the ground. The entire common room watched as the tie floated towards a pink bag on the now vacated couch. The room erupted. The girl hurriedly snatched her purse, not wanting to have to burn it. People started screaming; some accusing the girl of touching the tie, and shouting for her purse to be burned.

Meanwhile, the older half of the room was screaming instructions to the group of second years closest to the tie on how to get it out of the room. The tie continued to almost land on objects, but the owners were always quick to pull their posessions away, silmeltaneoulsy sending the tie back in the air somehow.

The common room had been reduced to a bunch six year olds by a simple object. Even the seventh years, our Lily included, were huddled in a corner with all of their possessions clutched tightly to their chests; hoping not to get touched.

People levitated the tie in random directions trying to keep it away from their housemates. Remus was the only calm person in the room, and that's mainly because he had recently walked in, and had no idea what was going on. When he had recognized the situation, and figured out what the rooms screams of: "You have to burn it! It was touched!" among the ever so present: "Oh my god! It almost touched me, it almost touched me!" meant, he quickly levitated the offending tie into the fireplace.

After a moment of quiet shock, the room erupted in applause as Lyra ran into his arms with a cry of, "my hero!". The girl whose homework Sirius had touched was quickly levitated into the fire, along with other objects the tie had soiled, and a celebration party was soon going full blast. Lily, Lyra, and Mica sat towards the back of the room, drinking their nicked-from-the-kitchens butterbeer, and quietly made a pact to never reveal that the tie that got into the common room was their doing. They still planned to get the boys back with a prank, of course, but they never planned on owning up to this failed one.

Well...Any tips of suggestions?

Compliments?

Please review then =)
