Christmas Eve was in 3 days, and all of the Marauders seemed to be going home for the jolly holiday. Only Mary and Lizzie were staying at Hogwarts, as both of their parents were traveling. Diane was now packing in her dorm with Lily and Marlene, dancing comically to the 'packing music' they had put on, which basically consisted of only ABBA and Queen.
"Lils, have you changed your mind about coming over?"
"Mm, not really, Potter has been tolerable this past week,"
"That's because he's in love with youuuu!" sang Marlene obnoxiously, twirling her way to Lily and spinning her around.
"No, he's not! Don't be ridiculous!" said the spinning blur of red hair as Marlene and Diane laughed.
"Come on, Lily, I bloody live with him; he's absolutely smitten," chuckled Diane. Just then, a loud bark was heard over the singing of Freddie Mercury, from behind their door. All girls looked curiously at Diane, who was casually making her way to open the door.
"Padfoot!" she greeted excitedly, as a big black dog (to all the girls' disbelief) jumped on her and affectionately licked her face. His ears perked up when he heard Queen's song 'Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy'.
"Er- what the hell is that?" came Marlene's voice, breaking the confused girls' silence.
"Uh" Diane chuckled nervously. "He's a- stray dog! A stray dog I found ages ago, yeah," she lied.
After a long moment of silence came, "That's such a terrible lie!" Lizzie guffawed, causing everyone to burst into inevitable laughter. Diane used this opportunity to slip out of the room undetected, the big black dog following her. As soon as they reached the boys' dormitory, Padfoot changed back.
"Goddamn it, Sirius! You're so bloody reckless!" yelled Diane, punching his arm as he laughed and clutched his stomach.
"Alright, alright, I got it!" he gasped when he finally stopped laughing and Diane's punches were getting painful. James was lying down on his bed, flicking through a quidditch magazine. Peter seemed to be finishing some last minute Herbology essay. Remus appeared to be the only one who was packing his things for the holiday; Sirius' things were strewn about more than ever.
"Why is no one packing?" Diane suddenly asked with a stern voice.
James looked like he had just woken up from his trance, "Fucking Merlin! I though Mum apparated here or something!" he breathed, hand on his heart, adjusting his square glasses. Peter and Sirius howled and even Remus gave a chuckle.
"Hogwarts: A History, Prongs! Read it, you git!" Diane rolled her eyes and threw the nearest object at James' face; a leather school bag.
"OW! Lynx, what the hell? My beautiful face!"James fell back dramatically as he covered his 'beautiful' face.
