Who Would Of Thought It
Chapter 1 The Bet
Hermione's P.O.V
"Oh come on! James was far the best looking out of all of them!" Ginny says,
We are currently looking at some old pictures of the Marauders when they were at school, and it's somehow got into who was the better looking.
"No way!" Fred yells back,
"Sirius has to win," George adds, "Look at all these girls over him."
"Just because he had more girls doesn't mean he wins," Ginny replies, "James just found the girl he loved first that's all!"
Ginny and the twins were into the argument more than the rest of us, until they dragged us into it too.
"Hermione, you agree with me right?"
I look at Ginny who is waiting for my answer, "Well…I…" I look to Harry and Ron for help but they seem to want to know my answer also.
"Go on 'Mione," Ron smiles, "you were saying.."
I look at the pictures of the Marauders again; maybe I should say Lupin cause no one else has?! But Sirius did look really nice in these pictures.
"Hermione, still waiting here," Harry tells me,
"I think…Sirius," I reply trying not to blush.
"Yes!" The twins cheer as they leave the room, "We win!"
Ginny looks at me in shock as I didn't take her side, I just shrug. "Why you pick Sirius?!" She asks,
"Because I think he just looks better than the rest," I answer, "Who you think I was going to say? Peter?"
I hear Harry and Ron trying not to laugh at this as Ginny goes on, "No, but what about now?"
"Well we can't really do it now because..'' I look at Harry who gives me a weak smile;
Ginny sees this and adds in a softer tone, "If we could I still think James would have been the better looking."
"Not necessarily," We all jump at Lupin's voice and turn to face him.
"Sirius doesn't look the same now as he did in them pictures because of being in Azkaban," He says while sitting down and looking at the pictures. Smiling at one of himself watching James gave Sirius a piggyback.
(In my story Sirius never went in the Veil)
"So….he could look like that again then?" I ask pointing at some pictures,
"Not exactly as he is 20 years older, but he could look similar," Lupin answers, "He just doesn't bother anymore."
Ron looks at some pictures, "Nah, I don't think that's possible,"
"Could be," Harry joins in, "Need some hell of some potions though,"
"Yeah, starting with a hair one," Ron adds.
Lupin laughs, "True, he does need a hair potion, it's a mess! Don't think he has brushed it in years."
"He needs more than a hair potion," Ginny puts in,
"Don't believe he could look like this?'' Lupin questions all of us,
"So what if we don't? You going to prove us wrong?" Harry grins,
We all look at him waiting to see if he is going to take this bet, "If Remus doesn't take this bet, I will,'' We hear Tonks say by the doorway,
"Ok, I'll help," Lupin answers.
"So what we get if we win and you can't make him look like that?" Harry asks,
"How about five Galleons,"
Five Galleons, I think, that's like 25 pounds in muggle money,"Each," Tonks adds,
"Each!" Ron repeats in shock,
"And if we win we get that much each," Lupin says.
"Deal," Ginny agrees shaking his hand,
"LUNCH," We hear Mrs. Wesley call; everyone goes down to the kitchen as I stay behind to take one last look at the pictures of Sirius.
Be interesting if Lupin and Tonks win, I think as I too go down to join the others.
