Madame Maxime's Office | 11th October 1987 | 9 AM
"I am very happy you brought this to my notice Madame Maxime! I will personally ensure that Charlus will receive his punishment. In fact, I will come tomorrow to make Charlus apologize to all his classmates."
Sirius was visibly very upset with Charlus and was talking with Madame Maxime while Charlus was in the side, listening to them. Charlus was shocked at the reaction Sirius had given. It was far from what he expected.
Sirius grabbed Charlus' hand and led him out of the office. He started walking with him towards the garden to talk privately. They reached the garden in a few minutes. The walk was very silent, and that made Charlus tense.
Once they sat on one of the benches in the garden, Sirius started speaking.
"Well Charlus, you must know what I'm upset about."
Charlus was outraged.
"What do you mean?! You were the one that told me to prank a teacher. I did that! What do you mean when you say you are upset. You were talking with the headmistress like I did something very wrong, but you did a lot more than this when you were a kid."
Sirius started laughing.
"Charlus, I'm not upset that you pranked your teacher. She must have done something to deserve it. However, what I didn't expect from you was the lack of discipline. I saw you prank me and Harry and all of them last summer and the summer before that. What happened? You became lax, complacent. You were careless, and that's why I'm disappointed."
"You knew it was me that pranked you at the Black Mansion?"
"Yeah! That was a neat job. I asked Remus later and he said it was all you! I was very proud that day. But today, when you took my part of the ultimate prank and did this.... I don't want to say anything else.
Charlus sat down in silence for a second and then said, "Well, you gave a malfunctioning product anyway."
Sirius was surprised.
"What do you mean?"
"Madame Abadie's skin changed to purple, not green. And, the healer tried to dispel the curse with a minor spell on the 5th day and it succeeded. Now I'm in for a load of shit when I get to her class tomorrow."
Sirius sat down in thought. He was still thinking when CHarlus added, "It could have been better. The prank, I mean. You could have made the skin normal for everyone but those below 17 or something. Then the professors and the healers wouldn't see anything wrong with her and they wouldn't be able to do anything. Then, maybe you could have the victim the only one able to smell her constant farts. That would be over-kill."
Sirius exclaimed. "Damn! You are a genius Charlus! I'll tell you what, I'll make that in a month or something and send it to you right away."
"Yeah, well that's one thing I can do. Tomorrow, I'll be embarrassed in front of the whole year."
Sirius laughed loudly.
"Tell me Charlus, how many students liked that teacher?"
Charlus thought for a while and replied, "Three or four. All the girls hated her for sure."
"And that means the rest hated her, or don't care about her. The people who don't care about her will find your prank amusing at best, but definitely not offending or anything. As for the people who hated her, you are now a celebrity for them Charlus! When I was in school, I had three types of pranks. I would prank the teachers and the staff, and I mainly got a good response from students when I pranked the caretaker - no one really liked him. I would prank the entire school, and no one knew it was the Marauders because we would prank ourselves too. And then I would prank the Slytherins. And let me tell you this. Even if you are a Ravenclaw, as long as you prank those Slytherins once, the Gryffindors will love you. So I had all the girls and all the fame I needed. So don't quit pranking Charlus. It's a redeeming quality."
"You guys pranked yourselves?"
Charlus was surprised that the Marauders pranked themselves.
"This is a very important lesson Charlus. If everyone was pranked, but only one person wasn't, that person would obviously be the prime suspect, would he not?"
Charlus nodded.
"And if that one person wasn't you, but someone else, wouldn't you be able to shift the blame on someone else?"
Chalrus got excited.
"And that person could be anyone you hate - a student... or a teacher."
Charlus got confused at this point.
"Teacher? Professors wouldn't do that. They won't get punished either."
Sirius chuckled at CHarlus' thinking.
"It doesn't matter what the academy thinks, or who they punish. It's what the majority thinks that counts. Now tell me, who is the majority in an Academy?"
Charlus thought for a while.
"I don't know? The students?"
"Exactly. The students are the most in number. So from now on, you have to pick one. Would you like the students to like you or the teachers? Because that will decide what actions you will be doing from now on."
Sirius imparted these few words of advice and left. Sirius was going to go back to the Black Manor and come to the Academy the next day.
Charlus sat down on the bench and thought for a while about what he could do about the apology he had to give the next day. Suddenly he grinned and rushed to the dorm to bring some paper and a pen to write down a draft. He, Charlus Potter, had a plan.
