But we LOVE to dance!
Summary: The marauders decide to throw a dance party in the middle of their sixth year at Hogwarts. As usual, chaos and hilarity follow. Characters are slightly exaggerated, but generally stay within character, I hope.
Disclaimer: None of this is mine. Except the darling little plot!!
Chapter 1: The idea
"I'm bored!" Sirius Black whined to his best friends James Potter, Peter Pettigrew, and Remus Lupin one morning at breakfast. "Nothing exciting ever happens at Hogwarts anymore!"
"Well then, Padfoot, why don't you think of something to do?" Remus shot back at him, not bothering to look up from his battered copy of Advanced Transfiguration. Sirius was always saying he was bored, but he usually got over it in about two minutes.
"But Mooney, we've already done everything there is to do!" Sirius moaned, sighing dramatically into his eggs.
"We could throw some dung bombs at the Slytherins." James suggested.
"Done that."
"Get brooms and fly through the hallways?"
"Done that too."
"Sneak into the girls dorms?"
"Like I even have to try anymore to get in!"
"Go swimming in the lake?"
"It's January! It would be freezing!"
"Yep, I guess you're right, Padfoot, there's really nothing left for us to do." James agreed sadly.
Remus finally slammed his book shut. "I give up! It's impossible to get anything done with you two! I've got an idea, why don't you try to study and not break any more rules for the rest of the year! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to try and learn how to transfigure those canaries before we go to class!" And with that he grabbed his bag and left the table.
Peter, who had been sitting quietly up until now, very focused on his breakfast, began to hum a tune to himself.
"What's that you're humming, Pete?" James asked him. Sirius started to move in his seat slightly along with Peter's humming.
"That's it, I've got it!" Sirius exclaimed "DANCE PARTY!!" And with that, he jumped on to the Gryffindor table in the great hall and began to dance about wildly.
"Sirius, are you crazy?" James asked, looking up at his friend.
"No, I'm SIRIUS!" Sirius yelled back at him.
"Do you even know how to dance?" Peter asked him.
"Of course I do! I LOVE to dance!"
That's the end of the first chapter, I hope you like it! Please review! Coming up in the next chapter: Remus finds out about the plot, and some of the more mundane aspects of planning are dealt with. Or, the would be mundane for anyone except the Marauders!
