Chapter 31: Crazy Hair Day
The next morning, the school was having a very animated breakfast, and not in a good way.
Most of the school had been affected by Jas's potion, making their hair take on random, crazy shapes and colors that could not be removed or changed by normal ans.
Jas was sitting at the table. His hair had been lifted and taken the form of sothing resembling a pair of horns, while its color had changed from a dark brown to a vibrant apple green.
Normally, one would gather a lot of attention if they attended breakfast with such a hairstyle, except that this ti, everyone was in the sa boat.
Sirius's hair had beco twisted into spirals and taken on a bright orange tone.
Peter's hair was long and pale blonde, to the point that he could almost pass as a sibling of Lucius Malfoy.
Remus's was spiky and purple.
Even the professors had been affected. The Headmaster's hair and beard had turned blue, while part of his mustache had beco yellow, making him look extrely ridiculous, although the man didn't seem to care all that much.
"You said the effects would only last an hour…" Sirius complained. "It's been like ten hours, and we're still like this."
"Shhh! Lower your voice," Peter hushed him. "We're going to get in so much trouble if they find out it was us."
"The effect would have lasted an hour…if you had used the correct dosage. Not to ntion, the area of effect would have been a lot smaller," Jas glared at Sirius.
"How was I supposed to know it was going to be so…explosive?" Sirius said in his defense.
"So…how long is it going to last?" Remus asked with serious concern.
Jas shrugged. "Who knows? But probably not more than a day."
"Probably…" Remus repeated.
"Guys," Peter called. "The Headmaster keeps looking our way…you think he suspects sothing?"
"We'd be in detention already if he did," Sirius brushed his concerns aside. "But you need to stop talking, or they'll definitely find out."
"It is strange that we haven't been questioned about it…we'd normally be the number one suspects when soone gets pranked," Remus pointed out.
"That's because we're always involved!" Peter snapped.
"Shh! Keep quiet already," Sirius exclaid.
They then heard soone sitting close by. When they turned their heads, they saw Frank Longbottom and his girlfriend, Alice.
Frank had very short hair, so the only change was that it had turned baby blue.
Alice sat down and sighed. "I look like an old hag…" Her long hair was now pale white.
"Nonsense," Frank hurried to say. "No matter what, you still look beautiful to ."
"Oh, Frank, you're so sweet," Alice said as they stared into each other's eyes.
"Ugh…get a broom closet," Sirius grumbled.
"Shut up, Sirius. I saw you with McKinnon the other day. It was a lot more graphic," Frank said.
"You're dating McKinnon?" Peter asked.
"Shh!" Sirius covered his mouth. "I don't want the entire school to find out."
"Where's Lily?" Jas noted that she was the only person missing from their usual group and decided to ask.
Alice made a troubled face. "She said she didn't want to leave the room with that pink hair she got."
"Hmm…I don't think it was that bad," Jas comnted. "Compared to what other people got, she got lucky."
"I know!" Alice said. "I thought Lily's pink pigtails were kinda cute, to be honest."
"I doubt that will stop her from attending classes," Remus said.
They all nodded in agreent. There was no chance of that happening.
Lily ended up attending classes with a towel over her head.
But she wouldn't have missed much even if she hadn't, as not much work was done that day in class.
The students were too distracted, talking about what had happened the night before and comnting on everyone's hairstyle.
The reactions to the prank had been very varied. So students found it funny, so didn't care for the prank but enjoyed their new style, while others were enraged and promised payback against the perpetrators.
During the day, all four of the Marauders had gotten many knowing looks from both students and professors.
Their reputation was well-earned, so they beca the most obvious suspects. But only a few Slytherins had gone as far as accusing them without any evidence.
After leaving their last class, the group was walking back to their common room while chatting.
"Are we going to be okay? Those Slytherins looked so angry at us," Peter said, looking around constantly, as if he feared an ambush at any mont.
He no longer cared that much about getting detention. The fear of being beaten up was much more intense.
"Tsk! Stop worrying about that. Those snakes won't do anything. And if they do, we'll just fight back," Sirius exclaid. "We're not pushovers."
Remus nodded. "For once, I agree with Sirius. If anyone tries sothing, we'll stick together and f— Jas, where are you going?" He saw that his friend was about to head in a different direction.
"Oh, I was just going to my lab," Jas said, as if it were obvious. "You know, we talked about this."
"Do you have to go today?" Remus asked.
"Yeah, that seems dangerous. We should stay in the common room until the effects of the potion go away, at least," Peter suggested. "People will be less angry then."
"No, can't do. I have so important stuff to do. I'll see you at dinner," Jas said with a serious tone before turning around and leaving.
"It's hard to take him seriously with that green, pointy hair…" Sirius comnted as he watched Jas leave.
"He didn't seem concerned at all," Peter said.
"Well…that's sothing that hasn't changed, at least," Remus added. "He never runs away from danger...or maybe he is too oblivious, who knows?"
