Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sirius yelped and made grabby hands for the blanket. Realizing he wouldn't be getting it back, he pulled Remus' pillow over his body for warmth and glared up at Remus. "Teach you to get up early, you git," he muttered, pulling his wand out of under his pillow and performing two quick warming and drying spells on Remus. He sat up yawning, placing the pillow in his lap and went to run his hands through his hair. He paused, feeling the braid and sighed shaking his head and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes instead.

"And why, my darling Moony, are you forcing me out of this nice warm comfortable bed now of all times?"

Sirius snorted and without thinking, laid back down, using Remus' lap as a pillow. "Bambi and Red-Head, huh?" he mumbled, tugging the blanket up and twisting it around his body.

"You know, Red-Head is kind of cute. If you go for that whole...whatever-you-call-it style. And he's got a sharp wit on him. I think I could begin to like him," he rambled as his eyes slid shut.

"We've over done so many of the 'Simple-Spell Pranks' Moony. And Red's Hair--well, I don't think he'll mind if we turn it to flash rainbow for a week. We'll have to do something big. Fireworks type big."

Sirius hummed. "He's clever cute. Not handsome cute. There's a difference. Clever cute means he's got a look about him that shows how his mind works--he's got that prankster look. I like that, but it's dangerous to us right now." He sighed.

"What exactly do you want me to do though Remus? I mean, I can't go changing hair colors. Harry's probably got more wards around him then Hogwarts. And it's not exactly like Gabriel will care--have you seen his hair? If I were you, I would've just sent a quick Jelly Legs curse at him and gone about my merry way. But now we actually have to think of a plan, a trap." Sirius opened his eyes and turned slightly to properly glare at Remus.

"And you woke me up by being a complete prat."

Sirius shot up and scrambled backwards away from Moony. He went too far back and wound up landing on the other side of the bed on the floor with a yelp. "You!" he hissed pointing up at Remus. "I don't know who you are, but you give me back my Moony! You hear? Give him back! Right now!" He stood quickly.

"I'm going to prank them. We're going to prank them," he muttered walking around the dorm frantically and getting his clothing together.

"Turn them into canaries--no...Canary Cremes, Harry'll know how to reverse the effects. Can't exactly have you botch up a potion and feed it to them--knowing our luck, it'll wind up killing them rather than anything funny." Sirius paced to the bathroom, completely forgetting the clothing he had been gathering on the floor.

"Maybe a body switch--but Polyjuice potion is the only thing I can think of, and that's obvious, not to mention short lived," he muttered in the bathroom just loud enough for Remus to hear as he busied himself with shaving, brushing his teeth, using the toliet--and other morning time routines.

"We could put something in their beds, or dorms. Dungbombs, itching powder. A bit small though," he continued.

"You are too!" Sirius shouted back, in the middle of shaving. He suddenly stopped and stared at his braided hair in the mirror. He cursed and quickly stumbled out of the bathroom and stared, wide-eyed at Remus.

"I've got it. I've got the perfect plan," he announced, not caring how mad he looked at the moment.

Sirius started to pace back and forth, working out the details in his mind. "The stairs, there must be a spell to manipulate the stairs, it's difficult of course, and we'll have to be very very careful to make sure it works only on them," he mumbled. He looked up at Remus.

"No doubt you'll be able to find something in the library--perhaps even in that Hogwarts book. It's got something about the stairs for the girls' dorms, right?" He lifted his hand to his chin to think and made a face of disgust as he realized that yes--he was still in the middle of shaving. He turned quickly and went back to the bathroom to finish the task.
