Wormtail's Journey

Chapter 5

June 1980

It was boys night out. It was the only night in months when the four Marauders had the night free. Lily was at home and the girls promised to go and give her company. After wondering what they should do for like an hour, Remus suggested to go Bowling. And after Peter and Remus explained Sirius and James what the game was about and that it wasn't boring at all, they decided it was a good idea.

So they were currently at the Bowling place and Peter was devouring a very large pizza with extra cheese, while it was James' turn.

"Aaww.. is nice to be us four again" he said as he went to grab the ball

"Without magic, Order missions, pregnant wives. Like old times"

"Yeah" answered Sirius sitting with Remus across from Peter

"You haven't been apart from Lily in a long time. You just spend time with her. I mean you already knocked her up. What else do you want?"

Remus and Peter laughed.

"Well I can say the same thing of you and Mr. Lupin, here"

"Trust me, if Moony could get pregnant. He would've been a long time ago"

Remus almost spilled his drink.

"Pads" he went very red. And Sirius laughed.

"Merlin's beard" Peter said with his mouth full "I'm bloody eating"

James grabbed the ball and  he almost dropped to the floor

"Blimey! Why these balls are so heavy? I prefer the quaffle"

He threw the ball so strong that it almost broke the floor but the ball went through the gutter. James sighed.

"I hate this bloody game. Muggles only play this because they don't have Quidditch" he said sitting down.

"It's fun Prongs" Pete said "Don't be a baby"

"Your turn Pads" James sounded irritated.

"Okay Moony" said Sirius dragging his boyfriend up "Show me how is done"

Remus rolled his eyes but he was smiling.

"Okay Pads" Remus took a ball and from behind Sirius he put it on his hands "You have to put your fingers through the holes, see?"

"Mmm... My fingers through the holes...?" Sirius asked smiling.

Remus went very red. "Yeaah..."

"You know we can hear you, right?" James said disgusted.

"Yeah I'm still eating, you wankers" Peter added.

"Sirius!" Remus was blushing. He punched his boyfriend's arm.

"Pay attention" he said smiling.

"Okay okay" Sirius smiled. "I'm paying attention"

"So you throw the ball and try to hit all the pins over there" continued Remus pointing forward.

But Sirius wasn't paying attention, he was looking fondly at his boyfriend. "Ah ha"

Remus smiled because he knew Sirius was looking at him. "Now throw it".

Sirius threw the ball but it went directly to the gutter.

"What just happened?" Sirius asked

"You just lost. You have no points" Remus said patting Sirius shoulder and smiling.

"Arrrggg" Sirius protested "Prongs was right. This muggle game sucks"

"Told ya!" said James with food on his mouth.
