I think that the marauders orchestrated little skits where Sirius would come bounding into school in his animagus form so he could steal parchment out of one of the marauders (mainly James) who hasn't done their homework and they can start yelling,
" A DOG IS EATING MY HOMEWORK!  A DOG IS EATING MY HOMEWORK! ARGH! OH MERLIN WHAT A TRAGEDY IS THIS?! MY BEAUTIFULLY COMPLETE HOMEWORK. GONE. FOREVER!" They yell it so loudly that their professors hear and let them off and one day Sirius wants to get out of doing his homework so James does it instead- everyone completely freaks out as a huge stag gallops into school and snatched some paper out of a grinning Sirius' hand.
