"WHATS THAT COMING OVER THE HILL IT'S A - FULL MOON, OH SHIT!" Screamed James, falling off of his bed and rolling several feet. Eloise and Thalia simultaneously sprung up from Remus' bed and headed to the door, "HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!" James bellowed from the floor and the girls stopped in their tracks. Thalia and Eloise shared a look and both smirked as James, still splayed out on the floor, tried to look menacing, "You two will not be accompanying us tonight." he said matter-of-factly and the girls looked at him before bursting into laughter,
"I'd really like to see you stop us." Elle snorted, clutching onto Thalia for support,
"Yes, you're so intimidating down there with the dust bunnies."
The girls giggled as James pouted on the floor but their laughs were abruptly stopped by a pair of strong arms wrapping around them both from behind and lifting them into the air so their legs dangled above the floor.
"Prongs may be stupid but he's not wrong." Sirius grumbled and Thalia and Eloise looked back at him before looking at each other,
"Now that's intimidating." Thalia pointed to Sirius and gave James a look,
"And very sexy." Eloise bit her lip and Sirius smirked,
"That's besides the point, Elle." Thalia whispered to her friend,
"But admit it, Thals. It is."
"Okay, it is." Thalia nodded and a shrill gasp was heard from the floor. James scrambled to his feet and stared, affronted, at his girlfriend,
"THALIA!" he breathed, a very offended look on his face.
"I'm sorry, my love, but he did just lift us both into the air with complete ease." Thalia shrugged and James huffed,
"I could do that if I wanted to." James pouted and crossed his arms,
"Please!" Eloise giggled, "You're a seeker and Sirius is a beater...his abs beat yours any day."
"That's not true!" James pointed a finger at his sister,
"Yes it is, darling, I've seen both and will unabashedly support the one that isn't my boyfriend...that has to say something." Thalia looked at her boyfriend who had gone red in the face from anger and, what looked like, betrayal considering there were tears in his eyes. After a moment of the four of them staring at one another James suddenly ripped off his t-shirt to reveal his torso. Thalia's eyes widened and she whistled, "Well, hello Mr Sixpack, welcome to the party."
"I don't know whether to be impressed or disgusted." Eloise said and the girls looked at each other before turning to face Sirius, expectant looks on their faces. Sirius raised an eyebrow and Eloise reached up to tap his shoulder, "Come now, darling. Don't be shy. Wow us." she smiled and Sirius scoffed before putting the girls down and reaching back to pull his shirt over his head. Eloise smiled a little smile as she looked at her boyfriend, "Thank you." she muttered before walking over to her brother and hovering her finger over his torso, "One, two, three, four, five, six." she counted and nodded, walking back over to her boyfriend, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight." Eloise grabbed Sirius' hand and lifted it in the air, "We have a winner!" she proclaimed and Thalia broke into applause.
"Congrats." she gave Sirius an incline of the head as she patted James' arm consolingly.
"My boyfriend's sexier than yours." Eloise beamed and wrapped her arms around Sirius' waist, snuggling into his side.
"Okay, I admit that. But my boyfriend is cuter." Thalia smiled and ran a hand over James' hair who managed to look even more offended than before,
"I AM NOT!" he bellowed, slamming his hands on the bed,
"Yes, you are! Look at your cute, floppy hair." Thalia cooed and ran her fingers through his brown locks. James swatted her arms away,
"It's not floppy! It falls over my face sexily!"
"Hate to interrupt but while you're arguing, Moony is waiting in the Shrieking Shack for his animal clan to show up. The only person with him is Wormy...he's a rat." Sirius spoke loudly and gestured to the ever-rising full moon.
"SHIT!" James and Thalia shouted as James scrambled to get a t-shirt on, running out of the door as it was halfway over his head and slamming into the doorframe. Thalia tutted before helping her boyfriend get dressed and leading him down the stairs. Eloise and Sirius smirked as the girl grabbed a jumper and threw it to her boyfriend,
"Let's go and have a date with our werewolf." she winked and Sirius grabbed her hand as they left.

The four friends sprinted over the grounds towards the Whomping Willow. Just as Thalia closed her eyes to transform into Pup, James shouted out,
"HOLD ON A MINUTE!" he held out his arm so they all stopped running and stared at him in confusion, "The girls weren't supposed to come with us tonight." he stared wide-eyed at Sirius and the boy raked his hands through his hair,
"Fuck."
"Why not?" Eloise crossed her arms and stared at her boyfriend, Thala giving James the same look as she rested a hand on her hip,
"Moony said he felt worse this month and didn't want you two coming in case something happened." Sirius admitted and the girls dropped their angry expressions.
"Surely, he's smart enough to know that we can't be stopped." Thalia raised an eyebrow,
"He is. That's why Sirius wasn't supposed to let go of you." James sent his best friend a look and Sirius pulled a face,
"Only because you ripped off your shirt and I was coerced into doing the same!"
"You were hardly coerced, Pads." James rolled his eyes and Sirius let out a bark of laughter,
"If you think your darling sister wouldn't have ripped my shirt apart until I gave in then you really are an idiot."
"He's not wrong." Eloise raised a hand and James sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Well, we're out here now so are we going to stand about arguing or are we going to go and make sure our best friend doesn't rip himself to shreds?" Thalia questioned and the boys shared a look.
"Fine." Sirius groaned and grabbed Eloise's hand, marching towards the Whomping Willow again, "But you two can tell Moony why you were there when he has a moon hangover."
