The night before
”Come on prongs, this is like the best night for pranks!” Sirius whispers quite loudly to James as they walk out of Gryfindor tower under the covers of Head boy and the invisibility cloak. If they wanted their prank to be effective tomorrow morning then they would have to make sure it is set up tonight. “It’s our final year mate, we have to do this prank. It’s like a last hurrah come onnn.” He begs quietly as to not get caught under the cloak.
As the pair reach the dungeons James checks his pocket for the small note. Whilst walking a first year Slytherin clearly sneaking out catches sight of James and freezes in place. “Haha what do we have here? trying to sneak out huh?” The boy gulps before James starts again. “If you don’t want me to take points from Slytherin you’ll let me in.” The boy then nods and quickly mumbles the password lucky that the portrait is able to pick it up. “Okay either off to bed or quick and make sure not to get caught.” Quickly the boys sneak in making sure Sirius gets in before the portrait shuts. “Okay i’ll take this side you take the other.” James whispers pointing to the side he knows Regulus’ dorm is on.
They go along the dorms sneaking into the bathrooms and placing a spell on the shampoo that changes hair colour until James gets to Regulus’ dorm, once he charms the shampoo he stops at Regulus’ bed. “Love, I have a note for you.” Regulus stirs but sticks out his hand taking the note and falling back asleep without even questioning how James got in. Quickly James rushed out the dorm and off to where he and Sirius were to meet.
April 1st, The day of
”Get up Prongs!” He hears Sirius shout as he slowly wakes up. “Love give him some time to wake up.” James sits up as he hears the voice of Remus. “Urgh.. I’m up, I’m up.” He replies as he hops out of bed. “Mate you need to hurry we almost missed breakfast so we haven’t seen how they look yet.” Sirius pipes out before getting hushed by Remus. “Okay, Okay. Just let me get dressed.
Five minutes late and the four were walking towards the great hall passing by a couple Slytherins with neon green, pink and blue hair. They reach the great hall giggling and as they sit down the door opens to reveal about 50 Slytherins all with a mix of different neon colours in their hair ranging from bright orange to bright purple. Although in the mix unseen from Sirius’ eye there was one black haired boy. James looks over at the group and smiles at Regulus before turning back to his mates and saying. “We pulled it off, the best prank for a final hurrah.”
