In the month leading up to the first task Sirius James and peter had a mandrake leaf in their mouth and pretended to take a vow of silnce which no one was in a hurry to question, they were just glad Christmas had come two months early. They were now sitting on the floor of moaning Myrtles bathroom (Lily's suggestiong they aren't creeps) James pouring the potion into glasses. "Are you guys sure about this?" asked Remus knowing exactly how dangerous it was,
"Remus, for the billionth time yes." sighed Sirius "So who's going first!"
"I will!" James practically yelled, before anyone could stop him he downed the potion. There were several grunts of pain then there was a stag standing infront of them. Remus' jaw dropped. Sirius laughed half of triumph and half because of all the animals he turned into a stag. "Can I ride you mate?" he managed to get out, the stag bent down to let Sirius on. If you had entered that bathroom you would've seen a boy chasing around a stag with another boy on it. "Oi!" laughed Sirius "Stop hitting me with your ...head...forks?"
"Prongs." corrected Remus, finally getting Sirius to get off
"That's what I'm calling you know," decided Sirius "Prongs." James turned back
"What's Remus then?" he asked
"Moony" said Sirius instantly
"Um I'd rather not be named after what turns me into a murder machine." Remus replied "If you don't mind."
"That's not why." replied Sirius "Although it makes sense."
"What other reason could it possibly be?" asked peter
"Because the moon is the most important beautiful thing in the sky." smiled Sirius, making Remus blush
"Actually the sun is the most important." he corrected,
"Well you can't look at the sun and I'd like to look at you." laughed James.
Hold on WHAT!? thought peter am I the only one who picked up on Sirius' flirting? Yes. Yes he was.
"My go!" shouted Sirius, grabbing a glass, Remus buried his face in his hands not wanting to look, he heard the sounds of pain of turning into something completely different then silence. He still didn't look. He felt something furry brush against him then something wet on his cheek. He looked up to see a massive black dog with grey eyes looking right at him. At first he was shocked, then he laughed, then he couldn't stop. "What's so funny?" asked James,
"Do you know what he is?" Remus managed to gasp
"Um... a dog?" suggested peter,
"He's the grim!" Remus couldn't stop laughing "An omen of death!"
James and peter laughed a bit but then James turned to see the dog standing behind him he screamed "Merlin Sirius!" he yelled "Maybe you'll scare me to death!"
The dog rolled onto it's back, probably laughing. Remus noticed just how big the paws were "It looks like he's got padded feet."
"Padfoot..." said James "You're a natural Moony! Padfoot it is."
Sirius turned back "I like it" he said smiling.
Next peter nervously drank his and turned into a rat... why a rat? they all thought (apart from James because he notices nothing) they brushed it off.
"Look at his tail." said James "It looks like a worm."
"Are you suggesting wormtail?" sniggered Sirius, peter turned back
"I love it!" he replied
I mean I was going to suggest something else but ok, thought Sirius, wormtail it is.^v^v^
When they were heading back to the great hall Regulus came running up to them panting "Sirius!"
"You alright Reg? Does someone need to die?" replied Sirius
Regulus shook his head and leaned on Sirius slightly "Champions... to quidditch pitch... now." he panted
"Oh," Sirius seemed disappointed he didn't need to kill someone "Thanks Reg, see you guys later." he left Regulus to lean on James.^v^v^
Sirius only realised he didn't know where the pitch was when he had wandered around aimlessly. He spotted Marlene and ended up following her there instead. When he got there a ministry official, some Slytherin's dad, told him what he was going to do. He had to fly up to get a chicken that has to survive and it'll give him a clue to the next task if you figured out how to work it. Sirius thought it wouldn't be that easy. He was right.
Remus James Regulus and peter had met Lily Mary and Dorcas in the stands as they waited. They were told all the champions would come out at the same time so they could "help each other" (but everyone knows it was so they could sabotage each other). No one was expecting, however, when a teacher walked onto a pitch and let loose thousands of cornish pixies. These pixies would make it very difficult to stay on a broom. The champions lifted off from the ground eyes scanning for their chicken (stop laughing this is sirius and very dangerous they could die). The Durmstrang champion was good on a broom but his weight would be a disadvantage, Marlene only practiced in the middle of the night and Sirius wasn't allowed to practice at home. About five minutes in, Marlene had a little trouble with some pixies, she swatted at them but it wasn' really working, Sirius zoomed over to her, whispered a helpful spell to her before zooming off again, keeping an eye on her to make sure it had worked. He probably should've been looking where he was going though as the Durmstrang Champion rammed into him almost knocking him off his broom, he was now hanging on by his fingertips. Seeing this Remus screamed along with several others, some gasps from Beaxbaton and Hogwarts and cheers from Durmstrang, come on Sirius. Sirius tried getting his arm over his broom but now the pixies wouldn't leave him alone, biting at his fingers. Remus screamed again when his right hand was lifted off his broom by several more pixies "COME ON SIRIUS!" he went red when Sirius grey eyes found his from all that way, Sirius smiled having a sudden burst of adrenaline he used his gymnastic skills to pull himself up enough to wrap his legs around his broom upsidedown like a koala. He flipped the right way up and zoomed off to find the chicken getting cheers from Beauxbaton and the small huddle of Gryffindors. Sirius saw a glint of gold so naturally he flew over to it, it was the chicken, he summoned his bag and put it on his broom with the chicken in it. When he got back to the starting area Marlene crashed down beside him holding another chicken. "You ok?" he asked laughing when he saw she wasn't too badly hurt
"Yep." she laughed letting him help her up "Stupid chicken better give me a clue." she shook it a bit but it did nothing. They made their way back into the tent Marlene sat down but before Sirius could he was leapt upon by a chestnut haired boy, Sirius laughed hugging him back "You could've died!" Remus yelled in his ear "Don't ever do that again!" he didn't let go of Sirius until Marlene mentioned it. "You know I probably would've fallen without you." said Sirius truthfully, Remus raised an eyebrow as if to say what could I possibly have done you were really far away? "If you hadn't yelled at me I wouldn't have seen you so I wouldn't have gotten that adrenaline rush."
"Adrenaline rush?" smirked Marlene, Sirius went crimson and muttered something that sounded a lot like oh shut up.
There was an awkward silence before James came in to congratulate him and tell him the score and that the Durmstrang Champion went straight to the hospital wing. If you asked Sirius what he'd most like to do right now, he'd go red and shrug but what he would think was that he wanted nothing more than to pull the beautiful boy next to him into a kiss, or to tell him he loved him to yell it to the crowd. But he didn't. He didn't want to lose their friendship, he'd rather have him as a friend than not at all. Remus stayed around Sirius the rest of the day as though he'd go fall off a broom if he went anywhere without him.*AN*
my brain went kinda blank at the end I couldn't think of anything else, it's hard when someones playing mario kart next to you
