"I SWEAR THAT IF I GET ONE MORE PIECE OF HOMEWORK I WILL TAKE A BIG, HEAPING SH-"
"Sirius, stop." Remus interrupted Sirius before he could swear...a lot. You see, with Sirius, it was go big or go home. So basically, if he swore once he would swear fifty more times.

Sirius closed his mouth and scowled. "You know Moony," James piped up from behind them, appearing between the two armchairs. "I think ol' Padfoot is right. What stupid teacher would give us this much homework? I think a nice, juicy piece of digested food on top of their precious papers would set them straight."

Remus shrugged. "Really, if you'd just keep up I'm sure you'd be fine. I've finished all of my homework, so now I have free time." He said. Sirius and James stared at him, open-mouthed. "You're kidding." Sirius whispered. "It was assigned to us ages ago. Really, I'm surprised you haven't done anything...I take that back." He added after a pause.

James laughed. "Well, I suppose as an ickle prefect, you have to set an example." He said, sighing. "Ah, what a shame it is..."

"A waste of a good trouble maker, I say." Sirius remarked. Remus shook his head and went back to his book. "Gits, you two are." He laughed.

Peter tromped down the stairs, interrupting the boys. He stretched. "Have you guys already eaten breakfast?" He asked. Sirius and James grinned at each other, seeing a perfect opening for a prank.

"Wormtail, we already ate lunch. It's almost dinner time." Sirius said as seriously as he could. James laughed, but covered it up with an awkward cough. Sirius hid his face behind one of his books, pretending to look something up, though he was actually laughing.

Peter's eyes widened. "Already? I suppose I slept in a bit." He whimpered.

James shook his head. "A bit? Peter it's Saturday already. You slept through the entire week! That's how we got all of this extra homework." He said, gesturing to the mountains of parchment on the table, which were actually drawings.

Apparently, Peter didn't seem to notice. He gaped at Sirius, James, and Remus.

Sirius grabbed a piece of parchment and scribbled something on it, leaving ink blobs all over the place. "McGonagall told us to give you this." He told Peter, handing it to him and interrupting his staring session.

Peter grabbed the note with his shaking hands. He read it aloud.

"'Dear Mr. Pettigrew,
It is with the utmost and greatest sadness that I inform you that you have been hereby PRANKED, SUCKER!

Our not-so-sincerest apologies,
Padfoot, Prongs, and Moony (your best and most forgivable mates).' I'm going to kill you all."

Peter ripped up the piece of parchment and threw it into the fire. Sirius and James roared with laughter. Remus's mouth twitched.

"YOU BUNCH OF GITS, I SWEAR!" Peter whacked Sirius over the head with a book.

James laughed harder, bending over and holding his stomach. Remus lifted his book slightly to cover his smile.

"YOUR FACE, THOUGH!" James roared. He mimicked Sirius's expression when he got hit with the book, then Peter's expression while he read the note. Everyone started laughing, even Remus, who had been trying to hide it. Peter set down the book and doubled over.

"WILL YOUR FOUR IDIOTS SHUT UP!?" Lily Evans and Anna Lee came running down the stairs to the girls dormitories. They were already dressed, but they looked disgruntled, as if they'd rather be in bed.

"Ladies, ladies." Sirius purred, wiggling his eyebrows. "We were just having a little fun. Do girls even know what that is?"

Lily turned red right to the roots of her bright hair. Anna narrowed her eyes at Sirius, but didn't say a word.

"I think we'll be going to breakfast now." James announced, getting to his feet and rubbing his hands together.

Sirius and Remus got to their feet as well. "Coming, Peter?" Remus asked as they marched toward the portrait hole. Peter shook his head. "I'll catch up. I'm going to get dressed."

Remus shrugged and followed James and Sirius out of the room. Sirius glanced over his shoulder and nearly laughed aloud at the expressions on Lily and Anna's faces.

He almost bumped into James as he hoped out of the portrait hole. "What's going on?" He asked, poking James's shoulder. "Move, you great lump!"

But James did not move. His fists were clenched and he was white-faced with fury. "What's up?" Remus asked, hopping down beside Sirius.

James's hand slid into his pocket. He grabbed his wand and pointed it at the pale, greasy-haired boy standing before him. "What in the bloody world are you doing here?" He snapped.

The greasy-haired boy's mouth twitched. "Waiting for Lily, of course."

"Get out of here, Snivellus." Sirius sneered, drawing his own wand. Remus hovered anxiously in the back, obviously not sure what to do.

Severus had his wand out too, pointing right at James's heart. Of course, James and Sirius returned the gesture.

"You shouldn't be here, you know." Sirius hissed. Severus turned his wand to point at Sirius instead, cold fury in his black eyes. "Oh, is it Potter's henchman? Truly, I find your brother much more endurable than you."

Sirius started shaking. He tightened his grip on his wand. The tension seemed to make the air harder to breath. It was hard to believe that only a few moments ago, Sirius had been laughing about a prank.

"Sectumsempra!" Snape roared, abruptly changing the aim of his want to James.

Cuts started etching themselves into James's chest. He fell to the ground, writhing in pain. "YOU ARSE!" Sirius yelled, anger making sparks fly out of his wand. Before he could shout a spell, Severus turned his wand and shouted his own spell.

Fiery pain shot through Sirius. He collapsed as blood soaked the floor. His and James's. Distantly, he could hear Remus screaming for help, along with two voices. A hand laid gently on Sirius's shoulder and he fell away into blackness.
