#78 Fighting or Flirting

"ArE wE fIgHtInG oR fLiRtIng?"
"I have a knife to your throat."
"That doesn't answer my question."
- James and Reg at some point probs

(Spoiler: it's both)

I just find this idea really funny and I'm proud of myself for thinking of it.
Basically James works for the "heroes" and Reg works for the "villains"

However the first part of this story takes place in the classroom...think some of the Marauders have been reading too much fan-fiction.

I hope you enjoy Xx

Professor McGonagall stood in her classroom, addressing the class as she usually would, except today was slightly different as she was in charge of helping the students pick which occupation they'd like to go into after their attendance at Hogwarts. There had been more than one interest when it came to aurors so that is what today's class was about.

"And then you hand them over to the ministry and help them file a report, now does anyone have any questions?" McGonagall looked out over her classroom and saw James with his hand raised, "no" she bluntly stated but James continued on anyway, to no one's surprise.

"Miss! What if you're like fighting a villain and you guys like, I don't know, kiss or something?"

McGonagall just stood there for a moment trying to comprehend what James had just asked her, she stuttered over her own words and looked at Sirius to see if he had any clue but sadly he seemed equally as invested.

"Why would you kiss- How would that even happen?"

James explained, "I don't know, I mean you're fighting then there's a lot of tension and like you get pinned and the only way out, is to kiss them."

"The element of surprise" Pete nodded, James clicking his fingers responding, "exactly!"

"No, no, there's no kissing villains" McGonagall didn't know why she was even engaging in this conversation but knowing James Potter for so many years now had proved to her that if he was anything, it was persistent. He would keep asking until he got a satisfactory answer.

"Can you kiss the homies?" Sirius raised his hand, "like what if your bro looks really good in his robes. Like really good."

"I- you know what? we're done with this conversation."

Suddenly Madam Pomfrey walked into the room to hand some papers over to Professor McGonagall, "hello Professor, sorry I'm late"

"Madam Pomfrey! Do you ever kiss the homies?" Sirius called out, shamelessly, to the nurse as Remus put his head in his hands, hoping it wasn't painstakingly obvious who Sirius was referring to.

"Do I ever kiss the homies?" The woman laughed, looking over her glasses, "I don't know why don't you ask Professor McGonagall" however when Madam Pomfrey looked at Minerva there was anything but a flattered expression on her face before Pete called out in confusion,

"Professor?"

McGonagall simply followed the question up with, "I quit."

(Ok back to everything of my own)

James had split from the rest of his team, usually he would keep as a group but he had seen which way Regulus had gone and he wasn't going to lose him. James entered the abandoned warehouse with his wand drawn and a dagger in his other hand, staying hidden in the shadows so he could hopefully sneak up on Regulus.
