(October 12th 1991, Gryffindor Common room)

"Checkmate." Ronald Weasley smiled as his rook destroyed the opposing king

"Not again." Neville moaned looking at the chessboard in disbelief and frustration "How do you never lose?"

Ron gave a smug smile "I'm just that good." He said before looking to his other friend who looked bored out of his mind insistently tapping his foot on the floor while lazing in the chair he was sat on

"Want a game mate?" Ron asked smiling at his friend lightly

"Hn." Godric grunted barely registering what his friend said

"Is something a matter Godric?" Neville asked frowning slightly

Godric sighed "Yeah, something is a matter." looking at the two "I'm dead bored."

"We did offer you a game of wizarding chess, but you didn't want to play." Neville spoke in a slightly shy manner

"That's exactly the point!" Godric snapped causing Neville to flinch

Godric sighed "Sorry I didn't mean to snap. There's just no fun in chess, besides Ron would win all the games anyway. We're supposed to be a new generation of marauders, were supposed to be pranking people and making a name for ourselves not playing chess."

"S'okay." Neville mumbled smiling lightly

"So what are we supposed to do? We don't exactly know any prank spells and let's face it, none of us knows a thing about potions, 'specially with that bint teaching potions." Ron spoke his lips curling as he spoke of the Slytherin head of house "I'd rather not have to go to Freya or Georgia either, they'll just make fun of us." He added as an afterthought

"Right." Godric spoke standing on his two feet "Then let's go to the library, there should be a few books with some prank spells in them." He smiled a mischievous smile reminiscent of his father

"Er...   excuse me." Godric began awkwardly, fumbling with his robes

"Yes?" Madam Pince spoke in a stern tone looking down her nose at the three boys "Is there something you need?" the three boys flinch under her cold stern gaze

"Well..  er..  we were wondering if there are any spellbooks with prank spells in them." Godric answered doing his best to avoid her gaze by looking behind her

Madam Pince's eyes narrowed as she pulled out her wand causing the three boys to take a step back and gulp in fear, only to find their fears were unfounded. With a wave of her wand three books carefully floated out of a nearby bookshelf and land delicately on her desk in front of the three boys.
