Marauder Moments

chapter 5

                “Hey Sirius?” James asked, sitting next to his best mate.

                “Yeah?”

                “Do you think Evans will ever love me?”

                “No.”

                James punched his arm. “Git. You were supposed to lie to make me feel better.”

                “Oh was I? My apologies good sir. Yes, Evans will come riding to your doorstep on a pink unicorn, singing your praises. On her way to consummate your relationship, she will be kidnapped by the dastardly Snivillus, whom you will explode, saving the young red haired maiden! You will then ride off into the sunset on your pet hippogriff, where you shall have lots of steamy rescue sex, and pop out little mini-Potters everywhere. The end.”

                “Couldn’t you have at least tried to make it believable?” Peter asked, flipping through his comic book.

                “It’s Evans liking Prongise. There’s nothing believable about it.” Sirius explained.

                Oblivious to their conversation, James clapped Sirius on the back. “Yes, that is how it would happen, isn’t it… Though her unicorn would be a lovely green to match her eyes; pink clashes with her hair.”

                “Sorry mate. I’ll remember that in the future.”

                “S’alright Pads. You tried your best. That’s all I ask for. Now tell me the story of how I propose to Evans.”

                Sirius sighed, rolling his eyes. “You flew to the sun on your broom…..”

                The other two Marauders tuned the story out, deciding now would be the perfect time for a kitchen raid.

                Peter threw open the door to the dorm room, excited. “Hey guys, I found—“

                He stared.

                James and Sirius were on the floor, hogtied. Neon green duct tape covered their mouths. Remus sat on his bed, reading calmly.

                “What did you find Wormtail?” the werewolf asked pleasantly.

                The boy looked nervously between the teen on the bed, and the ones on the floor. Sirius and James were struggling, pleading to him with their eyes.

                “Err..I found ten gallons.”

                “Good for you. You’ll finally be able to buy that comic book you wanted.”

                “Y-Yeah.”

                Silence.

                “U-Um,” Peter stuttered. His stutter grew worse when Remus looked up, giving him a friendly smile. James and Sirius were trying to roll towards him. Sirius’s tape slipped off.

                “WORMTAIL, YOU HAVE TO HELP US, MOONY—“

                Remus flicked his wand, casting a silencing charm on Sirius. The animangus’s eyes widened in horror, as he frantically moved his mouth but couldn’t produce a sound.

                “Yes Peter?” Remus asked kindly.

                “I-I’ll..just..be going now…”

                “Goodbye.”

                “Yeah…bye..”

                He slipped out the door and took off running down the hall.

                INSANE!!! ALL MY FRIENDS ARE BLOODY INSANE!!!

                “MR BLACK, STOP SINGING IN MY CLASS THIS INSTANT!!” McGonagall yelled.

                Sirius grinned cheekily, keeping up his singing. “But Minnie, I’ve got the perfect song for you!! OH,  DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAAAGIC!? IN A YOUNG GIRL’S HEART!!!”

                “NO!”

                Sirius stopped, staring at her in shock. “But you’re a bloody magic teacher!! If you don’t believe in magic than why the hell are we here!!??”

                Two weeks of detention later and Sirius’s question had still not been answered.
