HP: In The Magical World As a An Extra [ Chapter 99 ]
🕑 Added 2024-08-22 17:29:41 +0000 UTCMany of the teachers went for their wands and began to cast water repellent charms, only instead of repelling the large raindrops made them change colour, and soon all the professors were being drenched in a rainbow of colours.
"Albus!" Professor McGonagall said angrily, her Scottish accent coming through in her tone as she was drenched purple, orange and peach
"Most curious indeed Minerva, such creative spell work," the headmaster said, having tried to repel the water himself and found himself in various shades of blue and yellow.
"Headmaster" Snape scowled as the laugher in the hall grew after his own attempt to repel the water, now sporting his own colour scheme of bright pinks with a dash of white and red, "perhaps you could save marvelling over the spell work another time and fix this"
"Hmmm, oh quite right my boy," Dumbledore said, not having really seen the harm in the prank having noticed that the water was disappearing as soon as it touched the ground.
He was fascinated by the creativity at work but pointed his wand to the cloud and cast a powerful "finite incantatem" as suddenly the rain stopped.
The teachers all sighed a breath of relief before a second thunderclap boomed and what was apparently the rest of the rain that had yet to fall, fell, all at once in a mighty splash, utterly drenching the head table and its occupants.
"Well," Dumbledore said, taking off his glasses and wiping them, "that was most unexpected." He mused not having expected that last downpour as the laugher in the hall reached new heights, but all when quiet as more thunder rumbled.
All in the hall watched on as the dark clouds began to move and change shape forming into words that after a moment read.
"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good, The Marauders second-generation hopes you've enjoyed this debut, and look forward to future works, Mischief managed."
The hall was full with students applause at the prank while various teachers at the head table had different reactions.
Those who knew of the marauders during their time at Hogwarts had looks of shock, while Snape looked as though he had just swallowed a lemon whole.
Meanwhile, at the Ravenclaw table, Magnus was putting on his act of enjoying the prank like the rest of the students, all the while giving himself a huge mental pat on the back.
He had been up all last night with his pocket watch researching how to pull off this prank.
Before he spent the early morning hours before anyone was down putting the spells in place. And it had been perfect.
The best thing of all, no one could suspect him, while some might if they knew who the marauders were, and would find it convenient that this happened the year he started the school.
The spell work was far too advanced for anyone to believe a first-year student to have pulled it off, and although he demonstrated that he was skilled with spell work in his duel with Draco.
There was a big difference between slinging a few spells and the intricate spell work involved in this prank.
Magnus had to suppress a smirk and resist the urge to openly quote Hannibal and instead chose to do it in his mind, 'I love it when a plan comes together.'
-------
For the rest of the day the whole school was abuzz with talk of the prank that had happened in the great hall, word had quickly spread throughout the school that most of the teachers were not amused.
None more so than Snape who unlike the other teachers couldn't get the coloured rain to come out of his hair with magic and had been forced to teach his morning classes with bubble gum pink hair until he tried simply going for a shower to try and wash it out and succeed.
The entire student body was talking about the Marauders and trying to find out anything they could about them, and all were wondering just who the second generation was.
Snape for his part already had his suspicions and had been searching for the past hour.
He had already been wary of Magnus after he addressed him with his mother's house when he challenged Draco to a duel.
That information was something that he kept guarded and knew only a few select people knew about his mother's former house.
There was no way in Snape's mind that he should have known that information, and yet he did.
Next, there had been the boys display in duelling skill, he was far more skilled than he should have been for a supposed muggle raised student with little more than a month of practice.
Even if Andromeda had been teaching him nothing but duelling for that entire month. The way he moved, the way he planned out each step and action, those were not something an eleven-year-old student should be able to do.
And then there was this prank, it had all the markings of one of those pranks that Potter and his band of friends pulled when he went to school with them.
Though he would never openly suggest that those four would have anywhere near the skill needed to pull something as complex as that prank off.
No, that prank had been planned out in detail, something so intricate that those four buffoons would never have been able to successfully pull off.
Which only just confirmed it further in Snape's mind that Magnus was the one responsible.
Though he couldn't prove it, or even suggest such at the moment, the boy was a first-year after all.
An incredibly, and suspiciously, gifted first year, but a first-year nonetheless.
He'd be openly laughed at if he even so much as suggested that he was responsible, so he would have to bide his time and keep an even closer eye on the boy.
He would slip up sooner or later and then he would find out just what was going on.
