The 'Dragon Thing'

James was sitting down at his desk, rubbing his arm and going over the notes he had gathered from his previous test subjects.

"Subject one inconclusive, subject two got very angry, subject three punched me in the nose, the spot is still sore, subject four was on drugs, so results are inconclusive. Subject 5 was decent looking, got all the answers wrong, but I didn't shock her, managed to get a rise out of the other one, that's what I wanted. And subject 6 was smart too, figured out what I was doing straight up. Shame he was dating subject 5, what were their names... There was Alice and... Frank! That was his name."

The door flew open and in barged Sirius. "James! James! James! You, my good man, will not believe what happened." Sirius is like a hurricane, something must have happened. But he was only at the library, nothing interesting ever happens at that library.

"No, I probably will not believe what happened, but tell me anyway." James mused, still flicking through the notes of today's ESP experiment.

"Okay, okay okay okay. So I was at the library, yeah? You following me Jamie boy? Don't look like it but never mind that, okay. So, anyway, I was at the library and there is this God awful scream, like horrendous, like the person had seen, like Satan or something -"

"-Or your mother, both look so similar, it's really easy to mistake the two."

"HA-HA! Very good there James, very good." Sirius slaps his knee. "Anyway, the scream, it was guttural and raw, and it was almost like the person had seen something, like a ghost! And anyway, the floor starts to shake, and there is this deep, and when I saw deep I mean deep. It was this growl, almost like a dragon was under the library!"

"Oh, you're not back on the Dragon and the Gargoyle thing again. Are you, Sirius? Remus and I had to bail you out of jail a total of nine times because you kept trying to feed live chickens to statues. It nearly got us chucked out of the university." James complained, rubbing his eyes.

 Sirius's 'statues of mythical creatures are real animals that have gone into hibernation from lack of food' Theory was a tough three months to deal with.

"No, I'm not back on the 'Dragon thing' again James. I'm actually rather offended by that, how dare you. Anyway, we have to go down to the library. I called Remus the moment everyone fled the library to go there and scope out the joint for us. Come on! These people need us and it's only a block away." Sirius insisted, grabbing James' arm, trying to pull him out of his chair. James groaned and got out of the chair, putting down his paper and trailing after Sirius, who practically danced out of the building.

As they walked into the library, the first thing they saw was Remus. Sitting under a table. He was listening to it with a stethoscope. Why? That's what James wants to know, too. James silently crept up, tiptoeing to the table.

"REEEEEEMMMMMUUUUSSSSS... REEEEEEMMUUSSS." James groans, in an attempt to imitate the ghost, and knocks on the table. He picked up a massive book and slammed it down on the table. Hard.

"Ow." Remus' deep voice rumbles, as he gets out from under the table.
