Can I have that sandwich?
Disclaimer: I regrettably own none of the Harry potter characters.
Chapter 1: Where the story began
This story starts with 4 characters whose names happen to be Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, James Potter, and Peter Pettigrew, aka, Mssr's. Moony, Padfoot, Prongs, and Wormtail (in that order), aka, the Marauders. Wow that was a lot.
Well as all stories with the Marauders do, this one starts with them in trouble, the only difference is this one the trouble they are in are not entirely their faults. They are not the culprits of this story, but the one you should be pointing your fingers too is the no good, rotten, filthy sandwich. Why? You may ask well, shall we start at the beginning?
It was a sunny day, like always. No! Wait, wait! Let's back this up and start over, shall we?
It was a rainy night, that happened to be on a full moon, the main four characters, which I speak of, are making their way to the Womping Willow taking dear Remus to the Shrieking shack for his transformation ( terribly painful, if I must say so myself). They sat and comforted the poor soul while he transformed. It lasted the night.
The next morning they came back to the castle for breakfast and then their morning classes. They were exhausted from the events the night before.
"Don't worry, Moony, I know exactly what'll cheer you up." Sirius said swinging an arm around a really tired and disgruntled looking Remus.
"Yeah, and what'll that be?" asked Remus, now looking unamused.
"What better then a good prank, laddie." Sirius replied, "Oh, yeah, I have the perfect thing! How would you feel about-"
"No."
"But I haven't said what the prank was yet." Sirius pouted.
"Well with that maniacal look on your face I know that it isn't good"
"What are you some sort of seer?"
"No I just know you all too well"
"Damn."
"Shut up you guys, lily's coming." James cut into the argument.
"Hi, Lil's," James said smirking and brushing his hand though his messy, black hair.
"I've told you once, I've told you a hundred times don't call me that, and I hate it when you start messing with your hair. You think that it makes you look attractive, well it doesn't." Or does it, lily mused to herself, "Well, I'll catch you guys later. Remus, Peter, Sirius, James." As she said James's name she showed her disapproval.
"Wow, what is she mad at you for this time?" Peter couldn't help but asking.
"Nothing," James replied, a bit too defensively.
"Oh." Peter looked as if he didn't believe him, which he shouldn't. Good for you Wormtail.
Yesterday evening.
"Hey! Evens, over here," James called, excitedly.
"What is it, Potter?"
"How would you like to go out with the most handsomest, gorgeous, bestest, most athletic, gracious, graceful, handsomest, most good looking guy in school?"
"One: handsomest isn't a word and you said it twice. Two: I liked your modesty," she said sarcastically and rolled her eyes while doing so, James didn't grasp the sarcasm, "and Three: deflate that head of yours, you have too big of and ego."
"Ok, fine lets try this then," He got down on one knee grabbing Lily's hand (this isn't gonna end well) "Lily Jane, it is Jane right? Jane Evens, will you do me the honors of marrying me instead?" at that point every one in the halls at that time were staring at them, most of them looking troubled, blushing, or laughing their asses off.
"Potter! Would you care to stop harassing Evens and get to your-" McGonagall was right behind James, "were you proposing to Miss Evens?" she asked, quite bewildered to find him kneeling in front of lily, with her hand tightly in his grasp.
"No, professor, he wasn't. I just dropped something on the floor and he offered to pick it up for me, and I would greatly appreciate it back." Lily said, directing her attention from McGonagall to James.
"Oh, yeah," James stammered, while pretending to pick something up and returning it to the hand he had in a tight squeeze, reluctantly letting go.
"Alright then, now that that's settled, Mr. Potter if you can return to your dorm Mr. Lupin will be there shortly after finishing his rounds with Ms. Evens, as they are now prefects and hold great responsibility."
"Yes, professor," with that he got up and left. He went straight to the common room waiting for Remus to return from his rounds, as this was the night he was going to transform, so he mustn't be feeling all too good right now. Right then Sirius came barging in almost looking drunk, but James knew better.
"Where is that two-face rodent? Wormtail! I know you are in here! Did you see him running by here, James?"
"No, and what, in merlins name, is going on, anyway?"
"The stupid rat took my sandwich!" And so it begins, the mischief's of a sandwich.
"Oh, no, how could he, he should burn." James said with sarcasm.
"Yeah, I know." Clearly Sirius didn't quite pick up the sarcasm, "Oi, and where is Remus?" he asked forgetting about the sandwich, temporarily.
Remus came in looking really pale. He sat on the couch, by James, all he really wanted to do now was sleep.
"You ok, Moony? I think that it is about time that we transform and go." James looked at his friends face with concern; Remus really did not look well. They left and now we are in the story where it begun, with the four making their way to the Shrieking shack.
This is my second fanfic. The next chapter should be coming really shortly.
