"My brother called me to meet him. My fucking brother called me to meet him!" Sirius was pacing to and fro the marauders dormitory, pulling his beloved hair in frustration.
"Cool down Pads, I'm sure it's just a prank," James tried to reassure his best friend and he tried and failed to complete his transfiguration homework. Just then, he upended a bottle of ink onto the parchment "This is utter shit. Anyways," he continues, "ignore it. Don't go to meet him. Problem solved."
At this Sirius halted and turned to face James, who was miserably trying to salvage his half-completed but ruined essay, his eyes bulging.
"Ignore it!" he screeched, pulling his hair again. "He's my brother Prongs, what if he needs help?"
"Then go and meet him," James replied, burning the essay. "I'll come with you."
Sirius let out a relieved sigh, though still unsure. His eyes suddenly widened, and James smelled the acrid smell of smoke.
James's bed was on fire.
"Merlin Prongs!" Sirius cried out. "Fourth time this week! Put it out before you burn to dorm down."
James extinguished it quickly, clearing the debris, until the sodden remains of his bed were left.
"Now where do I sleep?" James pouted, quite distraught.
Sirius however was laughing uncontrollably. "Our deer marauder just experience a forest fire!"
"Oi shut up. It's not even funny," James scowled.

"He's going to turn up, he's going to turn up. I know it Krass, he's just fixing his damn hair!" Regulus paced worriedly in front of the tapestry, waving his arms wildly.
"Yes Reg, you've told me about a hundred times," Adelaide tried to be comforting, but was really getting irritated due to Regulus's Regulus-y behaviour.
"Honestly, I wish that git would just show up," she muttered under her breath, while Regulus was too busy fretting.
"Did you hear her Prongs? My darling cousin just called me a git," Sirius Black and James Potter materialised out of nowhere, smiling smugly.
"Sirius," Regulus took a deep breath. "What the hell is he doing here?" he scowled at James.
"I only came here to give moral support to my deer friend," James said complacently, while Sirius snorted. "And also to hex some slimy Slytherins."
At this Sirius let out a bark-like laugh.
"Shut up," Adelaide snapped irritably.
"Then say whatever you wanted to. We don't waste time in hexing, do we Prongs?" Sirius asked.
"Not even a second Padfoot," was the immediate reply.
Regulus then started pacing again.
"Cut it out Reg, you're driving me crazy!" Adelaide exclaimed, looking as if she wanted to smack Regulus crazy while James and Sirius sniggered.
Regulus didn't reply, and soon a grand door materialised right next to the tapestry.
Regulus entered it wordlessly, which Adelaide and the two marauders hurried after her.
"What the hell is this place?"
