"James what the hell!" Sirius squealed from behind James in an overbearing tone. Sirius had become reluctant to leave the common room in the early hours of the morning not wanting to leave his bed. James knew the reason that Sirius didn't want to come out was because he hadn't combed his hair since the day before and was embarrassed that someone might spot him, but he decided not to bring that up.
"Sirius shut up or were going to get caught" explained Remus for the seventh time in the past hour of this trip. Remus didn't seem too bothered to come on a small expedition with James, but he had suspected it was because the full moon was in 2 days and he never slept well before hand. Although, now that they had been out of bed for a few hours Remus's patients seemed to be wearing thin with Sirius complaining in his ear every few minutes.
"to be fair" piped up peter from the back of the group "he does have a point, this is a fairly stupid idea" James knew that peter wouldn't want to come out tonight and he was genuinely surprised that he had showed up at all, but he never did like to be left out.
As peter finished his sentence Sirius got a smirk on his face that only appeared when he was feeling particularly superior. Before Sirius could brag about someone being on his side James had come to an almighty stop causing all four boys to run straight into each other.
An echo of oomphs and groans radiated off of the walls in the long corridor sending an open invitation for Filtch to come find them. As the boys were shaking of the pain that was just caused in their small accident James had gotten up and jumped into a full-on sprint down the corridor. As he ran along the cold floor passing many paintings James suddenly realised when he came to a stop at his destination he might look quite stupid. He ignored the thought and kept powering through, following the melody that was ringing in his ears as it grew louder and louder.
"Jesus Christ that boy has no respect for his elders" Sirius called out hoping many people would hear him and wash him with waves of sympathy.
"Sirius, you're only a few months older than him" reminded Remus
"and every second counts when it comes to me being pampered" Sirius stuck up his nose and wiped away the miniscule amount of blood from the tiny scratch on his arm.
"should we follow him?" peter asked sounding concerned about James' sudden whereabouts.
"no, James has probably heard her voice and is now going to make an arse of himself in front of her and I for one don't think I can handle the second-hand embarrassment off that one." Stated Sirius clearly wanting to go back to bed. Before Remus could make his argument on why they should follow James, Sirius had already gotten up and started walking in the direction of the Gryffindor common room.
Remus looked over to peter and they both just shrugged and trotted off after Sirius rolling their eyes and laughing about how dramatic Sirius could be sometimes.
