My Best Friends Brother

Chapter 3-November

October 31, 1976

The marauders loved Halloween. It was the perfect time for the best pranks of the year.

This year they were planning to dump pumpkin guts all over the slytherins at their table.

It was the morning of Halloween and the marauders were ready to go. They used a sticking charm on the celling to stick the pumpkin guts on there and they would undo it at the perfect time.

All the Slytherins were at the great hall enjoying their peaceful breakfast.

"3....2....1" Remus said. Suddenly all the pumpkin insides dropped and fell all over the Slytherins.

All of them were covered head to toe in orange goo. James and regulus locked eyes from across the room.

Regulus was so mad. Mad at James Fleamont Fucking Potter. He stole his brother and just dumped a whole bunch of pumpkin guts on him.

Regulus and his whole crew got up and walked across the hall.

"What the hell Potter!" Regulus said as he was walking towards him.

James held an innocent smile "what ever do you mean little black?"

"Don't you bloody call me that! And you know exactly what I mean" said regulus

"I have no idea what you are talk about, now if you would give me my personal space I would very much appreciate that" James said with a very smug smirk.

Regulus grabbed his collar and pulled him close to his face "I will get you back for this Potter" regulus whispered with their noses touching.

Reg walked out of the great hall in a angry stomp. Just then the whole griffindoor table started cheering loud and proud.

November 2nd, 1976

It had been 2 days since regulus got covered in pumpkin goo. He showered 5 times that day. And he still had been finding pumpkin seeds in his hair for the past 2 days.

He needed to start thinking of a plan to get his brother back. He didn't want to envolve the rest of his house or the griffindoors.

He sat at his desk thinking of the perfect way to embarrass them.

After an hour or two of plotting he thought 'that's it! I know exactly what to do!'
———————-

A few days later his plan was put into action.

James woke up feeling something was wrong. "Um....guys where are all of our clothes"

Peter rubbed his eyes and looked at James "what?" He said

"I said where the bloody hell are our clothes?!"

This woke Sirius and Remus up too.

All of them were in their boxers, Peter in ones with little teddy bears on his.

"Shit." Sirius said

"Ok it's still 6am if me Sirius and Peter go out we could probably find our clothes." James said trying to think rationally.

"Um guys where's the cloak?!" James yelled.

"Shit." Sirius said for the second time that day.

They decided that Remus had to stay in the dorm, they couldn't have people knowing about his scars and connecting the dots.

James, Peter and Sirius wrapped their sheets around their lower half's and started walking.

When they got out of the common room they realized that it was not 6 it was in fact 8:30 and everyone was in the great hall.

So that was the first place they checked, if anyone was to prank them, they would want to put their clothes in the most public place possible. (They new this tactic all too well)

They opened the door and sure enough  their clothes were hanging 10ft about the air in the middle of the hall.

Without thinking (as they normally do) James and Sirius stormed into the hall with sheets on and a face of determination.

Everyone looked their way and started laughing at the sight before them.

Peter was standing behind the door of the great hall as he was way to nervous to walk in there.

James and Sirius started jumping on the griffindoor table trying to get to there clothes.

Regulus was laughing so hard he almost fell on the floor.

Everyone in the great hall was either laughing or getting second hand embarrassment from the 2 marauders.

Suddenly James leaped up and grabbed hold the pile of clothes.

Regulus' wand under the table was controlling the pile of clothes. He started to move it when he caught sight of the scene happening in front of him.

Potter half naked, hanging onto a pile of floating clothes abs and biceps completely on display. He could tell half the girls in the school were drooling over him.

He knew James and Sirius had never been the... shy type. When it was hot they would take off their shirts to practice not a care in the world.

He got so distracted he lost control of the pile of clothes and they got dropped to the floor, along with a very tired James Potter.

James and Sirius took their clothes and ran out of the room as fast as possible.

——————————

Later that evening regulus snuck out of his common room to go return James cloak that he also stole.

He opened the marauders door to their dorm and looked in awe.

In the far side of the room was where Sirius' bed was along with clothes all over the bed and socks next to the floor. The bed next to his was Remus' his bed was neatly put together with him under the covers. The next bed over was peters. He had one almost identical to Sirius' if not messer. James bed was closest to the door and it was not too messy but not too net either. He had socks on the floor but all of his clothes were put away. His bed looked like it had been put half together.

Regulus put the cloak along with a note next to a sleeping James.

He had to admire how James looked in the moonlight. It was a subtle glow dancing off his sharp jawline. 'Whoa- regulus what are you thinking!' He said to himself.

He rushed out of the room and out of the tower

In the morning James woke up to find his cloak at the bottom of his bed with a note saying :

Karmas a bitch. -R.A.B.
