The Marauders: Upto No Good.

5. Were-Bunny

When Remus woke up, he could still see the sleeping  forms of James and Peter in their beds, however, Sirius's bed was empty and so was the bottle of firewhiskey from their snack table. Remus woke James up, because he knew he won't be able to handle Sirius Black's drunk arse all on his own. After getting dressed for the classes and dragging Peter out of bed, the three boys headed to the common room, to find Sirius already there, surrounded by a group of scared looking first years.

"Oh-uh. This isn't going to be good." Remus muttered before rushing to the newbies.

"And if you aren't careful, they can bite your skin off your weeny faces and leave you out to die." Sirius's finished his story just as Remus and the others reached them. By the looks of it, Sirius didn't look drunk, which was good, because no one wants a grumpy McGonagall and drunk Sirius Black on the first day of the term.

"Do they really transform every full moon?" A shrivelled looking pale boy asked Sirius from the back of the crowd of first years. He looked ready to pee in his pants. But in all this, Remus Lupin only caught two words: full moon. James glanced nervously at Remus, unsure of how to shut Sirius up from making any more mistakes.

But before any one could do anything, Sirius replied, "Ofcourse they transform, just not at full moons, but at full suns. They are rabbits for fucks sake, they don't transform at night, stupid child." Sirius fake scolded the child, who's skin just turned the same shade of white as the new bed sheets.

"But won't we have classes during the day? What if he bites us?" Another petrified girl spoke up.

By this time, Remus was ready to explode in tears seeing these children already hate him so much. He couldn't believe Sirius would do something  like this to him. How could his best mate betray his worst dreaded secret? Before Remus could unfaze his mind and do something, Lily came to his rescue, shutting Sirius up.

"What the hell is going on here? What have you been feeding these young ones?" Lily came storming down the stairs.

"Chill, I haven't given them anything to eat. I was just telling them about were-"

"Sirius Black, I want you to shut right up or I will hex you!" Lily screamed.

"But I was just-" Sirius began again, only to be hit by Lily Evans best bat-bogey hex straight up the nose.

At this point James started laughing and a desperate Peter rushed to Sirius who was currently kneeling down holding his nose and muttering every single curse or cuss word he knew.

"First years, please head down to the great hall for breakfast now!" Lily instructed again, before turning to Remus. However, the pale looking first year from before reached her before she could say anything to Remus.

"Are were-bunnies real?" He asked Lily quitely.

"Were- What?" Remus asked them, trying to make sense of what he heard.

"Mr. Black told us that professor Spleen is a were-bunny and he turns into this hu-huge bunny rab-rabbit with white fur and large teeth and he can bite our sk-skins off."

Lily stared in disbelief at the first year in front of her. Were-bunny? Seriously! No one could do anything like this but Sirius Black.

"Oh, so Sirius told you about were-bunny and not-not were-" Remus began, relief evident on his face.

"Okaaay. And we're going down to breakfast!" James interjected before Remus would say something he would regret and dragged him and Peter down to the great hall.

"Sirius Black!" James roared entering the Great hall. Eyes turned to him and followed his every step until he reached the spot in the Gryffindor table where Sirius sat stuffing his mouth with bacons. Seeing James approach, Sirius looked up and raised an eyebrow, while Remus and Peter who were following James until his sudden temporal burst, looked at each other and quickly followed him to witness the drama.

"How could you do that?" James bellowed.

"And do what exactly?" Sirius asked, looking entirely bored.

"Scare those little firsties."

"Since when do you care about those ickle weenies?"

"Since you decided not to include me in your pranks, you dog!"

"Oh" And with that they both burst out laughing. All the students who were watching intently, hoping to see the two best mates actually fight for the first time, looked away disappointed and Remus slumped down beside James looking relieved, yet again.

"That was fucking brilliant! Where did you come up with that?" James asked, all ears.

"Oh well, I just had a dream where I saw a huge white bunny running with us instead of Remus, so I decided that I had to share the mastery of my imagination with someone. And since you all were sleeping like elephants, I decided to tell those tiny tots." Sirius explained, clearly impressed with himself.

"Lily's furious though. How's the nose?" Remus asked.

"Well, I will get back to her for that. She can't just bloody ruin my perfect face like that! Doesn't she know how much hardwork it takes to look perfect." Sirius said, exasperated.

"Drama queen." James and Peter muttered together.  And again they were all laughing. When suddenly Sirius jumped up on the bench he was sitting on, and cleared his throat.

"So, yesterday, I was saying, it's been too long since we got caught doing a prank. What do you say! Shouldn't we have already done one by now. I mean school started yeeesterdaay...." Sirius said as dramatically as he can, but only high enough for the marauders to hear.

"You are right, school started yesterday! It's not even been 24 hours yet. And you already want to do a prank? Are you crazy?" Remus asked in hushed tone.

"No, no, Moony, I think Sirius is right! We will break Gideon and Fabian's record of the earliest prank done at the starting of the school!" James said referring to their headboy and Quidditch team captain in their first year of Hogwarts. The Marauders looked up to them in all their maraudeering, afterall they were the ones, who taught the Marauders all they knew.

"Okay. Task number one: think about the most hilarioustest prank. Okay bye, my friends, I now depart from thou, but let my soul stayeth with you." Sirius got up and hurried back to the dorm.

"What's hilarioustest?" Peter asked, utterly confused.

"What was that last line again? Depart from thou? Seriously where does he get stuff like that?" James asked staring after Sirius's retreating body.

Remus just shook his head, trying to embrace his mind already, of what Sirius Black meant to plan.
