Boy Dorms | 12th October 1987 | 10 AM
"How could you not tell us it was you man?"
The person who stopped Charlus was Henri. He was very surprised when Charlus had apologized in front of the whole class and admitted that it was him who had pranked Madame Abadie.
"Well... Padfoot told me that pranksters weren't supposed to get caught."
Henri was very excited.
"Anyway, you are famous. Everyone loves you. Forget our year, the whole school hated Madame Abadie. She deserved it. And then she just injured you. How are you by the way? You fell from that height. It must have hurt."
"Yeah, it didn't hurt that much. I'm fine now."
"So when are you going to prank her again?"
"Again? Never. I'm not going to prank her again."
Henri was surprised.
"Did your godfather scold you a lot? It's alright, parents are always like that. You shouldn't care too much."
Charlus smiled. "I'll explain in front of everyone. Why tell it now when I can make you die of suspense?"

Beauxbatons Garden | 12th October 1987 | 3 PM
Everyone was gathered before Charlus, waiting for him. He had told everyone that he would be telling them what to do if they wanted to see Madame Abadie pranked again.
"I know all of you loved the prank. But unfortunately, I can't prank Abadie anymore."
"Why?"
"Because they'll know it's me. Something is wrong with this school! I'm the first person who pranked a teacher in the entire 600 years history of this school! What kind of school is this?"
"Oh. So what if you get caught? I'll talk with your godfather."
Lucas offered to talk with Sirius, but Charlus shook his head.
"My godfather isn't the problem. The prank I did was made by him. He only has a problem with me getting caught."
"Wow! I wished I had that cool of a parent."
Everyone was suddenly envious of Charlus for having that lax of a guardian.
"Anyways, I can't prank Madame Abadie. But all of you can. We just have to make sure I have a proper alibi, and then one of you can set the prank."
"Alibi?"
"Alibi - someone who can say that I was somewhere else at the time."
"But where will we get our pranks from?"
Charlus chuckled.
"You leave that to the experts. My godfather will make and ensure we have a prank to use in around one month."
"A month?!"
"At least a month. If we prank her so soon, she will suspect me. And I don't want to have detention with her."
"Okay. So how does the prank work?"
"Now that's a good question. So basically, what you have to do is....."

Madame Abadie's Office | 16th December 1987 | 11 AM
Madame Abadie was working on new course materials to present to the board of directors. While the academy refused to give more time to Etiquette classes, they would not say anything to teaching more in the allotted time. She was wrapping up when she noticed a gift on her table.
The gift was wrapped in yellow gift wrapping paper and a red ribbon. She opened the gift and saw a box and a letter. The letter expressed the admiration that person had towards the fine work that Madame Abadie had done to enforce proper discipline and etiquette in students. Madame Abadie became giddy after reading the letter and opened the box. There was a piece of chocolate. It was about the size of her hand. She took it out and took a bite. Her first thought was of the sweetness of the chocolate bar. Her second thought was about how the chocolate melted in her mouth quickly. Her third thought was interrupted by a sound.
"Prrrrp!!"

"Haha! You think she ate it by now?"
"Maybe. And now she has to wait for winter to get over to see who it was."
Charlus had made all his friends wait till winter vacation was approaching to prank her. When they expressed their discontent as they wouldn't be able to witness the prank themselves, Charlus calmed them down.
"The farts will be very slow in the beginning. She won't know anything is wrong. And then, when we come back, almost a month will have passed and the pace will pick on. Since we weren't even in school, it's the perfect alibi."
Charlus was simply genius. Though one of the reasons why he postponed the prank was that Sirius had spent a lot of time improvising and sent the prank product late.
Charlus was picked by Sirius and he expressed his excitement.
"You were right! Everyone hates Abadie. We pranked her today! She's gonna be farting like a horse poops by the time we get there."
Sirius was amused by his godson.
"Like a horse poops?"
"Trust me. Lucky was on fire these couple of days. He's almost an adult, so we can ride him. Maybe it's all the exercise he's having by running around, but he shits a lot. Grass goes in, and then 30 minutes later he shits. It's horrible."
Sirius laughed.
"Well, at least you have your horse all the way in Beauxbatons. Now I have to buy Harry a horse just 'cause you have one."
"Oh. Don't worry. I'll help him with it. At least the riding part. You can handle the cleaning I'm sure."
"Ha Ha," Sirius laughed sarcastically. "So what are you planning to do this Winter?"
"Me? I'm going to do nothing. What else am I going to do during vacation?"
