A BOGGART'S TRUE FORM

Chapter 1

This story takes place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the time of the Marauders! It was morning and everybody was sleeping comfortably. Sirius Black was now thirteen years old and attending his third year at school.

He was woken by a scream, followed by a loud thump and a moan. He sat up and looked around drowsily. Peter had fallen off his bed.

"Hey Wormtail!" he heard James shout. Everybody in the room was awake now. (Just the four Marauders. James, Remus, Sirius and Peter.) "Another of those nightmares?" Peter's head popped out of the tangle of blankets, pale and shaky, and nodded nervously.

"What is it that you see every single night?" Sirius asked and hopped out of bed.

"Oh, um, j-just that, um, m-my family is being attacked by.by You-Know- Who." Peter stammered. (A/N=Lied obviously, he was dreaming of joining him and what would happen to him if he betrayed him.)

".I-Know-Who." Sirius muttered. "I don't know who!"

"That lunatic, Voldemort." James told him. Peter shivered.

"Oh, him." Sirius sighed. "He's been gaining a lot of power recently, hasn't he?"

"Yeah." said Remus. "He's been killing muggles and halfbloods like mad."

"That is why I really don't think you should worry, Wormtail." James told Peter. "You're a pureblood."

"But he's starting to get scary Prongs!" Peter whispered. "He's getting strong."

"Yeah." Sirius nodded. "He's gathering followers. Death Eaters, I think, he calls them."

"You're right Padfoot." Peter nodded. "Death Eaters." (A/N=He should know.out of first hand experience. The idiot!)

"I can't blame Wormtail for fearing him." Sirius said, walked to Peter and helped him up from where he was lying.

"Better get ready." Remus stated. "It's almost time for breakfast already."

"As you command Moony!" James and Sirius shouted and saluted Remus in a soldier's way. Peter giggled and Remus frowned, but chose to ignore them.

They got ready and headed to the Great Hall, but James suddenly jumped in front of them, blocking their way. The hall was deserted apart from the Marauders.

"What is it Prongs?" Remus asked.

"It's still early. Why take the short way when we can take the LONG way to the Great Hall?" James asked, grinning.

".Long way?" Sirius asked and grinned understandingly. "You mean, THAT way?" he asked and pointed towards a close-by corridor that obviously did NOT lead to the Great Hall. James nodded.

"Guys, I really don't feel like it." Peter complained.

"Fine then. Take the short road." Sirius snapped. "I think I'll take a little walk."

"Moony? Can you take care of Wormtail please?" James asked before sprinting away with Sirius, leaving a gaping Remus behind.

"Me?" Remus asked. "Why me? Why could I go as well?! Oh, thank you a lot Wormtail." he sighed and walked to the Great Hall, Peter close behind. About ten minutes later, James and Sirius, both grinning, joined them. In about another ten minutes later, the room was drowned in laughter. A dozen frowning Slytherins with rabbit ears had entered the room.

"Congratulations guys." a giggling Peter told James and Sirius. "We all needed a laugh."

"Come on everybody." said Sirius, also giggling. "We have potions with the bunnies in ten minutes."

A/N=Liked it? Review everybody! You can correct me, if you want to, suggest later happenings and stuff. Suggest, yes, but I'm not necessarily going to type it.only if I really like the idea and it doesn't mess with the rest of the story. You see, I've already, almost, finished it.on paper. So, I can add things, but I aint changing naught. Review anyway! .Please? Hey, I think I should warn you from now. I might not be updating very fast, so don't hate me for that ok?
