One Day... A Jegulus Story

Chapter 6

The week rolled by quickly and before they knew it, it was the evening of there last day at Hogwarts and the Marauders were sat in the Great Hall. They had gotten there early to witness their 'last day prank' they'd been planning it all week. It was going to be classic. They had placed permanent markers all over the Slytherin table and charmed them to write 'The Marauders' on all of the Slyhterins foreheads when they sat down, along with persuading Remus to perform a spell that would turn their robes red and gold. The colour of their enemies. The Gryffindors.
Remus had provided Regulus with a potion to counteract the prank (despite Sirius' protest) and advised him to come into dinner a little bit later than usual just in case.

Not two minutes later, the Slyhterins all walked in together. James' eye was suddenly caught by Regulus standing in the doorway of the hall. He had indeed showed up on time but did not enter, he just waited for the show to begin. James realised this and just grinned and winked at him before turning away, causing Regulus to blush profusely. Suddenly the Hall erupted into noise as Slytherin robes turned red and markers begun to rise into the air. "Classic." Said James, high fiving his friends. "Yeah!" Said Sirius, "We're gonna be legends!" The four laughed and cheered when Minnie announced that, because the pens were muggle-made and non-magical, there was nothing they could do to erase the ink. And even Regulus cracked a smile seeing his friends Evan and Barty's shocked faces, sitting there with scarlet robes and 'The Marauders' written on their heads.
Absolutely non-suspiciously at all (very suspiciously), the four trouble-makers grabbed some food and fled the hall, narrowly missing Minnie, who was indeed looking for them.

Once they'd reached the common room, the boys started laughing their heads off eating their food. Hours passed, people filtering in and out of the common rooms and eventually into their dormitories. At around 1am they grew more tired. "Better hit the hay, eh?" Said James through a yawn.
Peter chuckled, "That rhymes..." he murmured tiredly before falling asleep right on the spot. Soon followed by the others.

*The following morning*

The next morning the Marauders woke up in the common room, exactly where they were the night before, but now, Peter had 'Frank woz here' written on his face, James was wearing bold red lipstick, Sirius had huge winged eyeliner and Remus...Remus had only a post-it note stuck to his forehead that read:
'Your Welcome.
Love from, Lily, Alice and Frank.'
Sirius looked around, read Peter's face, read Remus' forehead post-it and looked at James' lipstick before bursting into laughter. The others came to their senses, observed eachothers faces and also started laughing.
Once they'd all regained their sanity (well kind of) Remus, Sirius, Peter and James went to their dormitory to clean up and pack their last few things. Today, they'd all be leaving for half term.

They'd changed into their casual clothes to travel in before leaving for the Black Lake, where they'd be taken to the train. Sirius wearing a David Bowie shirt and leather jacket, Remus, a grandpa sweater and jeans, Peter, an England Quidditch team jumper and finally, James, in his own Gryffindor Quidditch jersey and a denim jacket. Once they reached the mob of students surrounding the Lake they stopped and spotted Regulus. Sirius waved him over. Regulus was reluctant at first but was egged on by Barty and Evan and was fully persuaded when he saw that James was also beckoning him over. "Bring yer friends!" Sirius yelled over the crowd, so Regulus, Evan and Barty made their way through all the students and reached the Marauders -and co-. Regulus introduced his friends, and Sirius was sceptical at first but once they got talking he warmed up to them swiftly. The Hogwarts Express arrived soon and they hopped on the train. Sirius had managed to convince his brother to sit with them for at least half the journey. "Ugh fine Sirius, quit your whining" Regulus laughed before turning to Evan and Barty "I'll come and find you later, I guess?" They nodded and went off to find a compartment.
Remus found a compartment near the middle of the train and they all filed in and sat down. The journey went smoothly and they played games like 20 questions, Never Have I Ever and Muggle Truth or Dare (James ran out of Veritaserum). Regulus read through this, answering a question or two every now and again. The trolley witch came and everyone bought food. Regulus bought an extra pack of 'Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans' to share with Barty and Evan who he left his compartment to find, not 5 minutes later. He'd asked a Hufflepuff girl where they were, and she'd pointed to the back compartment. He walked quickly and pulled open the doors...stunned to see his two best friends. Evan. And Barty. Evan and Barty. Together. ...kissing...
"Oh. My. Merlin." Said Regulus.
"Erm wow this is not how we wanted you to find out, Reg." Said Barty after him and Evan quickly broke apart. But Regulus was to stunned to reply, he just slowly shut the doors in front of him, walked down the aisle and opened a random compartment, stepping inside. In their was only one girl. She had platinum blonde hair and a dazed, yet wise look upon her face. "Hello," She said in a strong, high-pitched Irish accent. "I'm Pandora. Did you have to move compartments too? My last one was filled with Nargles, of all creatures!"

A/N- ngl this chapter is awful and I hate the way I've written it but I was ill when I did write it and my creative juices still aren't flowing so I can't come up with anything better. ✨️enjoy✨️
