Mortem . Sirius Black

chapter twelve

"Oh, whatever shall we do in your absence?" gasps Remus dramatically

"I know, it's hard losing the best person in the room," she said, playing into his dramatics

"The day you're better than me, is the day pigs fly, Winchester," snapped Sirius, although with significantly less bite than he wanted

An idea suddenly pops into her mind, but she schools her expression into one of false innocence, bidding the boys goodbye and rushing down to the courtyard to meet with her other two friends.

"I know that look," said Ellie "What are you thinking?"

"You know that muggle farm about an hour from here?" she asks, and the other two nodded "Get your broomsticks, we're going on a small trip."

An hour and a half later, the three of them are flying back into Hogwarts, all of them holding onto the big farm animals. Nephera had used wandless magic to levitate three of them behind her, but since neither Ellie nor Tony had mastered the art yet, they had to balance the big, sleeping animals on their laps.

"This is by far the stupidest thing you have ever come up with," grunted Tony, looking down to see if his pig was still there

"It's a matter of pride!" exclaimed Nephera

"You made us kidnap five pigs!" said Ellie, shaking her head in disbelief

"We still need to make them fly," she added, Tony grunting in disbelief "Don't look at me like that, if he thought he could get away with talking to me like that, he was wrong. Besides, it was his words, not mine."

"We are getting kicked out. I hope you know that." Deadpanned the Ravenclaw

"At least we'll be together?" said Ellie

The three of them continued to bicker while they landed their broomsticks into the forbidden forest, to avoid being seen by anyone. Ellie and Tony were happy to finally roll the animals off of them and onto the ground, as they stretched their legs in front of them.

"Alright El, this is where you come in," said Nephera, clapping her hands in anticipation

The Hufflepuff went to work and started casting different spells, a pair of small, white, fluffy wings appearing on each of the pig's backs.

"How exactly are we getting them into the Great Hall, during dinner, without being seen?"

"We shrink them." Shrugged Nephera

"Go to Hogwarts, Ellie. Learn magic, Ellie. You'll do great things! If someone had told my eleven-year-old self I'd be shrinking pigs to let them loose during bloody dinner, I'd hit them over the head."

"And yet here you are, my dearest Hufflepuff." Replied the Slytherin, shoving her head playfully.

The three teens shrunk the pigs and placed them in their pockets before walking to the Great Hall. As they were walking, people shot them weird looks, mainly because one of Tony's pigs had woken up from the sleeping spell and was now thrashing violently in his pocket.

The four marauders were walking towards dinner, their stomachs rumbling in hunger as they fantasized about the great food they were about to eat. All thoughts of that went out the window, however, when they heard screams and an extreme amount of noise, in general, coming from the Great Hall. Running into the room, nothing could've prepared them for what they saw.

Five pigs, with small angel wings on their backs, thrashing around in the air as they tried to balance while teachers and students tried to run away.
