"Moony," Sirius murmured, sliding into the seat beside his friend. "I'm bored."

"What do you want me to do about it?" Remus asked, turning the page of his book and ignoring Sirius to the best of his ability. "Go read a book or something."

The black-haired boy pouted.

"I don't want to read a book, Moony!" Sirius whined. "I'm not in a read-y mood!"

"Then I can't help you." The other boy said flatly. "Go find James or Peter and bother them."

"James is busy stalking Evans and Peter's re-sitting that Potions test he failed last week!"

"And this is my problem, why?"

"Because I'm making it your problem!" Sirius declared, snatching the book off his friend and holding it out of the shorter boy's reach. "Now pay attention to m[e."

Refusing to give Sirius the satisfaction of seeing him try to retrieve his book, Remus sat back and folded his arms, raising an eyebrow at his tormentor.

"What do you want me to do?" He demanded. "I'm not a trained animal, you know, and I can't juggle."

"I don't care!" Sirius cried. "Just, anything!"

Remus sighed and stood.

"Let's go for a walk." He said. "Come on."

He made his way out of the common room, Sirius following close behind, gleefully.

"Hey!" Sirius said about half an hour later, grabbing Remus' arm and stopping him. "Was that door always there?" He asked, pointing at the innocent-looking door on the other side of the corridor. The werewolf frowned.

"I haven't noticed it before..."

"Let's go see where it goes!"

Before Remus could refuse, as he usually did when Sirius came up with a plan that could possibly lead to the two of them trapped in a confined space together for any length of time lest it end badly, Sirius dragged him across the hallway and through the door.

"Sirius, wait!"

They burst through the door and found themselves in a small, dimly-lit cupboard.

"What a let-down." Sirius muttered, rummaging through a cardboard box on one of the shelves and pulling out a load of bubble-wrap.

"Indeed. Can we go?"

"I suppose." Heaving the sigh of someone who's biggest Christmas present had turned out to be a year's supply of bathroom clearer, he turned and had almost reached the door when it slammed shut.

"What the ?" Sirius dived for the doorknob and rattled it. "It's locked!"

"Move over." Remus shouldered him out the way and pointed his wand at the lock. "Alohamora!" He tried to open the door again, but it still wouldn't budge. "I don't understand..."

They jumped when they heard a cackle on the other side of the door.

"PEEVES!" Sirius hollered, ramming the door with his shoulder. "Let us out of here!"

"I'm offended!" Peeves sang from the other side of the door. "I'm hurt that you would automatically assume that I locked you in there!" He sniffed dramatically.
