The Marauders Life

Saturday Shenanigans

Remus lay awake reading and listening to Peter snore while he tried to wrap his mind around what had happened that day. He nearly got caught during a full moon which could lead to exposure of his secret, he had to come up with a punishment for his friends, and he was nearly murdered by Lily. He finally set his book down on the bedside table and fell asleep.
The Next Day...
Sirius awoke early the next morning ready to start the day. He could hear Peter snoring as he quietly dressed and gently shook James awake.
"Prongs! Wake up! I've got an idea"
All James did was burry his face in his pillow. Sirius shook him a little harder.
"What's your great idea Padfoot?" James asked sleepily.
"Wake Wormtail"
"What?"
"Wake Wormtail, then I'll explain the plan"
"Alright" James answered climbing out of bed, and crossed the room to shake Peter awake.
    He explained the plan, and they gathered their supplies.
    "You both know what your doing?" Sirius checked. "They nodded in response. "Alright, let's try this and see what he thinks"
    James had his wand ready, Peter had lots of parchment, and Sirius was ready to climb up onto Remus's bed.
    "Go!" Sirius said as he began to climb.
    James fired multicolored sparks all over and Peter began throwing parchment in the air. Sirius was now jumping at Remus's feet.
    "C'mon Moony! It's the weekend. No classes, no homework!" James shouted while firing more spells above Remus's head.
    "Alright" Remus groaned. They all stopped goofing off. Sirius sat down at the foot of the bed and started laughing with James, then stopped as though bored.
    "Wow... that whole plan sounded a lot better when we were talking about it. Now it just seems stupid" Sirius sighed.
    Remus sat up and saw Sirius at the end of the bed. He pushed Sirius off with his foot and smiled as he screamed for his brother, Regulus.
    "Since when do you like your brother, Padfoot?" Remus questioned. Sirius went silent and turned bright red.
    "Since never" Sirius replied climbing to his feet.
    They all dressed, exited their dormitory, and headed down to breakfast. Sirius and James ran ahead and arrived earlier than Peter and Remus.
    As they approached, James and Sirius started cracking their morning jokes.
    "Wherewolf?" James asked. Sirius looked around and pointed at Remus.
    "Therewolf!" Sirius said smiling.
    "I will kill you both!" Remus said as he sat down next to Sirius. James and Sirius burst out laughing. "Shut up!"
    The four friends began eating as well as joking around. Remus pulled out his copy of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and began reading as he ate a piece of toast.
    "Aw. C'mon Moony! It's Saturday! I think you can afford to not read today" Sirius pleaded.
    "That's cold, Black"
    "Sorry Moony" Sirius began wishing he said something else, knowing that Remus was quite poor.
    "I guess I could skip reading for today" Remus sighed.
    "Brilliant!"
    "Hey, isn't it a Hogsmeade weekend?" Peter wondered aloud.
    "Great idea Wormy! Let's go get our permission slips after breakfast" James replied.
