James paced outside of the Great Hall in the dark of night. It was around midnight, and he and Sirius had planned on coordinating a...beautiful, if you will, entrance to the Great Hall for an unsuspecting group of Slytherins the next morning. His mind raced with a hundred different possibilities, oh the endless amount of scheming they would do this year! And they had to set the bar high, give a good show for the whole school. People needed to realize that the Marauders were not only brilliant with pranks, but that they were truly intellectual masterminds.
"Tick tock, Sirius, we've work to do!" James said out loud as he whipped his invisibility cloak off and draped it securely over his arm. He loved the intricate fabric, but it was still too warm for the time being. He wasn't worried about being caught out and about after hours, he had his fathers trusty old cloak, while Padfoot had the map they'd been developing over the past few years. It was genius, really, and was the prize possession of he and his friends. And to think, some people believed them to be witless bigots! Well, let them think that. The Marauders had more talent and intelligence in their pinky toes then most wizards did in their entire bloody being.
Tap.Tap.Tap James listened and froze instinctively, perhaps he had always had decent hearing, but James felt that prowling around at night in his Stag form gave him an extra edge. Quickly, he tossed his cloak back over his body and leaned against the wall next too the ornate doors of the Great Hall. "Hopefully this is Sirius. I'm going to give him a Jelly Legs Jinx if he takes any longer." James whispered ever so quietly. He held his breath for a moment as he stared down the dark corridor as the footsteps grew nearer.
