The Fifth Marauder - a little idea I had

A/N lol so I decided to write this for some dumbass reason XD

I sat in a comfy chair in the Gryffindor Common Room, staring down at Quidditch Through the Ages. James had lent it to me, and it was a lot more intriguing than I had thought. I brushed my hair out of my eyes and flipped a page.

Suddenly arms wrapped around me and I squeaked, turning to see who it was.

Sirius Black was standing behind me, snickering. His black hair fell into his eyes and he brushed it away. "Sirius!" I said, trying to sound angry, but smiling.

"What?" He asked through giggles. Footsteps pounded down the stairs from the Boys' Dormitory, and I looked over to see James Potter and Remus Lupin, followed by Peter Pettigrew, racing down the steps.

"Hi you guys," I said, grinning. The four boys were my best friends, even though they got in trouble a lot.

"Hey, Bobtail!" James greeted me with my Animagi nickname, and I felt a warm glow spread through me as I heard it. I smiled.

"Dude, we just thought of a really cool plan!" Sirius was grinning, and so were James and Remus, though Peter stayed back.

"Alright, give it to me," I prompted. They think of the stupidest plans.

"We're gonna sneak into the Girls' Dorm and steal one of their trunks!"

"Oh deer! You can't be Sirius, that plan is barking mad!" I punned, and the four Animagi burst out laughing.

"But honestly," I continued, as they calmed down, "this is the eighth time this month you've tried, and none have worked so far."

"But we have a better plan!" Sirius insisted. "You're gonna transform into a rabbit and run in and distract them..."

"I'm gonna stop you there, 'cause I'm not gonna do that," I said, crossing my arms.

James looked pouty. "Come on, Xena! It'll be fun!"

"Yeah, please?" Remus spoke for the first time.

I rolled my eyes. How could I say no to these morons? "Fine," I agreed reluctantly. They began to cheer, but I held up my hand and they went silent. "BUT if we get ratted out I'm telling them it wasn't my idea."

Sirius nodded. "Sure."

"So, what's the plan?"

                                                                                        * * * * * * * * * * 

I crouched, my tiny white tail swishing. I had transformed a few minutes earlier as the boys talked, then we had set up.

The dorm door opened, and I shot between a pair of legs. A squeal from Lily Evans startled me and I nearly stopped. I jumped up onto Lily's bed, and she walked over from where she had been leaving to look at me. I tried to act natural, sniffing at the blankets and staring at her. She reached out to me and I nuzzled her hand. She smiled and petted my back.

I heard the gentle footsteps of a dog and glances over to see Padfoot slipping across the floor. I nuzzled up to Lily, trying to get her not to notice. She didn't look over at Padfoot, and I flicked my ear when he backed out of the room with a suitcase.

I jumped lightly from her lap and bounced out the door and down the steps. I transformed quickly back to a human and sighed, relieved. I flopped back into the chair I had been sitting in a few minutes prior and opened my book again.

Suddenly a shriek from Lily made me jerk my head up and Lily came rushing down the stairs.

"My trunk is gone!" She wailed.

I suddenly realized we had made a terrible mistake.

"I know where it is," I said grimly, and, taking in a deep breath, yelled out:

"SIRIUS!!"

A bit of a Harry Potter thing!

Idk

So I'm thinking of making a book about this... IT WOULD NOT BE A SHIP it would just be a "fifth marauder" thing

So vote if you want that!

Thank youuuu
