Peter peeked around the statue, eyes narrowed and ears listening for footsteps. When a greasy head rounded the corner, his flicking wand set off a cascade of events.
The stone floor turned to slick ice that knocked Snape over, followed by floating buckets of orange paint that completely doused him. Before he could stand up, Snape yelped in pain from the pinprick delivered by a tiny, twitchy rat; the potion-coated needle inflated his whole body like a parade balloon.
And for the grand finale: a lush green stem sprouted atop Snape's head.
It was with smug self-satisfaction that Peter confirmed his friends' awed questions. Did you really pull it off, Wormtail? I heard he squealed like a girl; is it true?! How the bloody hell did you manage to hide this prank from us?
'Mates, you should've seen his face! Splotchy and orange like a rotting pumpkin!' he'd said, amidst raucous laughter and tears. His meticulously planned prank brought them to bloody tears!
When they'd caught their breaths, Sirius and James took turns clapping him on the back; even Remus offered a cryptic smile. Glorious approval! This was what he lived for. He'd never give it up for the world.
