Marauders era

'Arghhhhhh'

A skinny 16 year old boy with glasses and untidy black hair sprinted through the Great Hall, stopping in front of Professor Dumbledore.

'Help me sir, please help!' he screamed before running towards the Slytherin table. Once there he grabbed a small hook-nosed teenager with greasy black hair around the waist. As the boy tried to swat him off, James Potter screamed again. 'Help me Snapey, don't let them get me!!.'

'What do you want Potter?' A red head called contemptuously from the Gryffindor table.

'Evans, Evans! Save me, he's coming, he's coming' James screamed again, sprinting over to Lily and crouching behind her, shaking violently. Lily felt slightly concerned, James seemed genuinly terrified.

Suddenly another black haired boy sprinted into the hall, vaulted impressively over the Gryffindor table, which drew applause from the younger years, and held on to James for dear life.

'He's coming closer Prongsie' Sirius Black said in a petrified whisper. As soon as he had said this, another boy sidled into the Great Hall. He was short and rotund, with a thatch of blond hair and he scuttled over to the two boys, who were still hiding behind a now irate Lily Evans.

'He's almost here' squeaked Peter, shaking in his boots. 'Prongs, Padfoot, protect me please!'

Suddenly the doors to the great Hall flew open. Everyone jumped at the loud noise and there was some muffled cursing from those who had spilled their drinks. Then the whole hall became silent. Standing in the gaping doorway stood a tall, blond haired boy, with hazel eyes which were flashing dangerously, like those of an angry wolf. The boy stepped forward and became Remus Lupin, a thin, shaking column of barely contained rage. He walked slowly into the centre of the hall, his boots making clear taps on the stone flagging. Then, in a dangerously soft voice he spoke;

'James Potter. Peter Pettigrew. Sirius Black. Come here. Now'

The three aformentioned boys whimpered quietly but stepped out from behind Lily, to stand quaking infront of Lupin.

'Moony please-' James began in a whisper, but Remus cut him off.

'How dare you, how dare you! My best friends, how could you do this to me?' His voice had risen to a yell. 'How could you STEAL MY CHOCOLATE!!!!'

The boys cringed as the force of the shout washed over them. Remus held James firmly by the ear with one hand, grabbed hold of Sirius' collar with the other and glared at Peter so ferociously that Peter didn't dare refuse to follow him. Then he stormed out of the hall, dragging the three unfortunate boys with him. James was yelping with pain and Sirius let out a pitiful moan.

'Save us!' they screamed, but they were silenced as the doors slammed shut.

'And that' Dumbledore announced contemplatively to the silent room. 'Is why it's a good idea never to steal a sixth year's chocolate.'
