Hogwarts, Fifth Year
"Come on then Padfoot! We don't have all bloody day!" A feminine voice called out from outside the boys' dormitory. "The rest are waiting!"
"I'm coming Char, hold on! Bloody hell!" The recognisable voice of Sirius Black himself called out before a loud crash blocked out his voice.
"Not my vinyls!"
A loud repetitive knocking tore him away from his fallen possessions and he grumpily opened the door and strode out, leaving his twin in the dust.
"Sirius! Wait up!"
———
Now that they are all gathered in the Great Hall, planning their next prank- including Charlotte.
After Sirius had knocked over all the vinyl tapes in the room (again), he was in a terrible mood all day because he had scratched the cover of his favourite band.
Now Charlotte had to buy him a new one next time they went home so that he wasn't wallowing in self-pity every time he entered his dorm.
James was trying his best to hide the scratch, but failed multiple times.
Remus finished 2 books that day.
Peter tried comforting Sirius, but failed.
He soon got over it, surprisingly for the drama queen Padfoot is.

The 5 ran through the corridors of Hogwarts, laughing at some random joke that Peter had made while Lily, Mary and Dorcas walked behind them, shaking their heads while chuckling at their antics.
"I'm surprised they don't hate us by now." Dorcas remarked. "I mean, we have only been here for Char."
"I know right." Lily agreed. "I'm honestly surprised James hasn't tried hitting on me yet." She rolled her eyes.
"Yeah. Uh, Lily.. incoming." Mary pointed forwards to the infamous Potter sauntering backwards to the trio.
"Hey Lilyflower! Surprised you're here with us! Did you come to see your favourite marauder?" James flirted.
"Speak of the devil." Marlene muttered.
"Yeah, actually."
"W-wait, what?"
"Charlotte! Wait up!" Lily ran towards her before yelling "I can't run in these shoes!"
"Lily, wait! Damn it, I've done it again." James gave up running after her.
"You should stop trying. She's not interested in you. She said it herself." Dorcas chuckled.
"Yeah, she said she'd rather kiss the giant squid that go out with you!" Mary laughed.
James' face grimaced as he imagined the former sentence.
"Well, anyways, bye!" The girls ran after Lily, leaving James in the empty corridor.

"A map? Are you sure Moony? It's a bit random! Why not a globe?"
"Because Padfoot, if we carried a globe around School, I'm sure we'd some weird looks."
"B-but! A globe is cooler! And it's practically the same thing! A globe is just bigger and we could see where everyone is around the world!"
"It's not possible!" Sang Charlotte. "Just drop it, Sirius. It's amazing that we are able to create a magical map!"
"Shh!" The rest shushed her. They knew it would get confiscated otherwise.
"Anyway, let's talk about James' failing love life!"
"Piss off Char."
