Capítulo 2: Planning a prank
The Marauders are miffed. Infact, 'miffed' is putting mildly. Sirius has lost all his pocket money, thus he could not buy the latest edition broom that he had his eyes on. Hell, he even had to budget his school supplies. It's a first for him. He originally planned to splash on Zonkos products, now they haven't got a single Knut to spend on jokes.
James is in a similar situation. His grounded till his birthday, banned from Hogsmeade visits till he is seventeen. Worse yet was his father calling him a coward and his disappointment in him for attacking Snape in the back. Yes, he could see how that's a bit cowardly, but Snivellus deserved it. His father disagreed.
If it was before entire attempted murder settlement, Dumbledore would dish out week long detention for teaching a humbling lesson to 'Snivellus' Snape. The Marauders could have taken action and shew him who's the boss. Unfortunately, Snivelling Snivellus stopped going to Dumbledore, started pulling out big guns. If they want to get one up on him, they need a real tight plan.
Also, they are more angry at Peter than at Severus. After all, it's peter who gave the memory that incriminated them all. If only peter has kept his trap shut, they wouldn't be in this mess. His father and Blacks would ripped Snivellus a new one for even thinking to come after them. Remus refused to give a memory, even at the tearful begging of his mother.
It pleased and alarmed Remus how granted both James and Sirius took his loyalty. Here he is, ready to become only an OWL certified werewolf for them, and they seem to be taking that so … lightly. They are moaning about loss of money to buy joke products, while he could have lost any opportunity to get employed at all.
It is the first time ever Remus thought about his life beyond Hogwarts. The prospects are frightening. It is also the first time he realized how easy life came to both James and Sirius. How entitled both of them seemed to be about all the things they have. They had no doubt in their minds this entire situation is peter's fault, while this would not have come about at all had James or Sirius chosen not to hex Snape.
How ever, it's all besides the point at the moment. Point is Peter is the one under fire. Sirius gave him an ultimatum. Either prove his loyalty to Marauders, or strike it out on his own. It is too late for him to get out from the protection marauders provided. Remus is sure for both James and Sirius, it's only words spoken in anger. He could see peter paling at the consequences of such an action. Yes, they will say that out loud, perhaps leave peter alone for a day or two, but that is enough time for peter to get roughed up. Afterall, they have many enemies.
"They said I am going to be expelled Sirius. Please, you have to understand." Peter Pettigrew grovelled.
He couldn't get kicked out of Marauders. He will become free for all to all those who could not take Marauders on their own. Plus, Snape.. Peter shuddered at the thought. Severus can and will bury him alive with out even breaking a sweat.
"Well, Wormtail, All you have to do is prank Snivellus and you are redeemed. You can do that, can't you? " Sirius asked with a predatory smile.
James nodded.
Remus felt mildly uncomfortable. He was so very close to betraying them. It literally killed him to see his mother cry. He held out by the skin of his teeth.
Now, all he could think is how thankful he is that it's not him who's under the fire.
Peter looked beseechingly at him.
"You can find some thing Peter. I believe in you." Remus told him.
It felt like kicking a puppy. He knew subconsciously they are just teasing. Yet, at the same time it did not feel so.
On that note, Both James and Sirius pushed Peter out of compartment.
Peter did the only thing he can.
He went to the next empty compartment, transformed in to a rat, hid out in the luggage section. He just have strike it out till the train's moving. Then he can worm his way back in. After all, his friends must only be teasing ... correct?
fortunately for him, He struck gold.
This is Marriet's cabin. Peter saw the entire drama unfold.
He also heard all the discussions that followed in Marriet's absence.
Then he got his most brilliant idea.
Marriet's friends discussed the strange reaction of Severus Snape. They unanimously agreed Severus held no romantic interest in Marriet. The thought is laughable. Entire school knew Severus and James are sweet on same girl. A plethora of theories followed, including Severus being an illegitimate brother to Marriet being a thrown away love child. After all, a child as ugly as her is better off dead.
Thus he went back to his friends with the most brilliant or the only idea he ever gave for their pranks.
"I have a brilliant idea." He announced puffing up his chest.
The marauders looked on with a doubtful expression.
"Go on." Sirius informed him, after closing the door behind Peter and securing it.
"Let's convince Mental Marriet she is Snape's sister." He announced to the ensemble.
"Who's Marriet?" Sirius asked.
"She's a third year hufflepuff. Rather big and ugly." Remus supplied.
After all, she held the record for most bullied student at Hogwarts.
Remus lost count of the times he has rescued her from a bad situation.
"Let's go take a look." James announced.
They went and took a look.
She is looked like perfect vengeance on Snivellus.
There is no way he would be able to get out of this one.
Every other Marauder looked impressed at the brilliance of the plan.
With in a week, with help of Poly juice potion and one hair sample from Slughorn, Marriet is convinced Snape's her brother.
