Sirius Black ran through the Great Hall in his favorite "Quidditch
is fly" t-shirt and his Spiderwizard boxers. That's all. His cheeks were
blushing crimson the whole time. James Potter, Remus Lupin and Peter
Pettigrew stood laughing at a distance. Sirius finished his last lap at
last, after many, "Oooh, sexy," and "Awesome legs," from the Hufflepuff
girls. Why was he running through the Great Hall in his underwear, you ask?
Well, he and the other mauraders had a sort of, would you call it, wager.
James, Remus and Peter had each agreed to pay Sirius twenty galleons to do
it. This was because lately Snuffles had been holding back from the crowd.
Usually Sirius was as outgoing as a friendly mutt. However, lately he had
been very reserved. And his fellow friends were very worried about him. So
they made a little bet with Sirius that left him furiously embarrassed, but
got his calender full with dates for the next few weeks.
"I can't believe you let me do that!" Sirius cried, kidding a little, as he ran up to the mauraders. They all spent nearly a half hour laughing about it.
"Hey, Siri," Maria Fuller from Ravenclaw said in a drawl and ruffled his hair as she walked past on her way to dinner. She was a girl he had gone out with a few times. Long brown hair cascaded down her back and she had skin the color of milky coffee. She came to Hogwarts from deep in the Caribbean. "Are we still on for the next Hogsmeade?"
"Course," he told her. She continued on her way then stopped and called over he shoulder, "Nice boxers, by the way,"
It was the Marauders' sixth year. One more year of mischief left. Then it was time to go and be adults.
"Hey guys," said Remus, "Lets head down to the library and catch up on that Potions essay,"
"Yuck," said James.
"I gotta go grab some pants first," said Sirius.
"I'll come!" volunteered Peter.
"Oh come on, James..." prodded Remus, "Maybe you'll see Lily there." James had been smitten on her for weeks. She seemed to be ignoring him, though. Could be that stunt he and the other guys pulled on little Sevvie last week. Oh but it was so funny. They tied a string around a galleon and set it in front of the Slytherin portrait until Snape came out. He gleefully bent over to pick it up and fell on his face when they pulled it back around the corner. Lily saw the whole thing. She escorted Snape to the hospital wing. And even gave him a kiss on the cheek to make him feel better.
"Okay, I'll go," James agreed.
