(JILY) MARAUDERS AND VALKYRIES : THE FALL OF SERPENT

42. A Dog Ate My Homework(and Knockturn Alley)

The four Marauders were sitting outside the castle, enjoying the sun.

"Let's face it I am the best-looking among all the students," said Sirius.

"You don't have to tell this to us, daily, Padfoot, saying something, again and again, does not become truth," smirked Remus, and James and Peter snorted.

"Hey! It's a fact, and my dog form is also the best among all of us," said Sirius.

"Nah, people love stags more, my antlers, are way more attractive," argued James as he ran his hands through his hair, his eyes searching for the red-haired girl.

"Oh please, I am the most attractive, small, and cute, people will prefer me," said Peter.  

"I am the loser, here, no one will be attracted to my form," sighed Remus.

"Sorry, mate, we didn't mean to do that, it was just a joke," said James immediately.

"But, I was serious," said Sirius seriously, thus receiving a hit at the back of his head from James.

"It's okay, James, I was having fun too," grinned Remus and James relaxed.

"But I think few girls will be attracted to that wolf, you know he has got muscles," said Sirius.

"And good ones too," added Peter, looking at his own muscles and then comparing it to skinny Remus. 

James laughed at this, "Wormy, you are comparing with the wrong person, here see this," and he showed his muscles, and Sirius too joined.

"Well still, more girls find me attractive," said Remus and others shook their heads.

"Believe what you want Moony," said Sirius.

" What should we do now?" asked Peter.

"I have a few ideas for pranks," said Remus.

"Shoot," said James enthusiastically.

"We can explode toilets, and make them flooded and after that, we will lose pixies in there," suggested Remus, James was intimidated by the idea, but it can result in people getting hurt, and thus Lily will get angry.

"Nah, it's dangerous, something less violent," said James, and the other three looked at him with shock.

"Tomorrow's your birthday, and we have to do a prank, it's a perfect idea, and since when are you rooting for less violent things? Come on Prongsie, it will be fun," said Sirius.

"No, Padfoot, we will come up with a better prank, this one can harm someone," said James.

"Tell the truth Prongs, why aren't you supporting this prank?" asked Moony.

 "It's dangerous and harmful," replied James but his three friends were looking at him with narrowed eyes waiting for the truth, he sighed, "Lily won't like it, that's why okay?"

"Since when has her opinion mattered in our pranks?" asked Sirius.

"Come on Pads, she will get angry, we will be crossing a line here, exploding toilets can injure someone, there's risk in there," said James.

"I thought you liked risks," said Sirius, but before James could say anything, Remus interrupted.

"Let's think hypothetically, and leave Lily behind, what's your opinion of the prank?" asked Remus.

"I kind of like it, it'll be fun but people can get injured here if, by accident only, they might get injured," answered James.

"You and Lily aren't even dating yet, so you have to do everything with her approval, we are going for this prank, it will be fun," said Sirius.
