By The Marauders

DISCLAIMER-- This is not really by the Marauders. Just had to clear that up. And BTW, I don't own them, or HP, blah blah blah, etc. and I never, ever will. The End.

1. Invite to picnic by the lake--

Yeah, our dear Squiddy will attempt to eat you...- Padfoot

It sounded nice at the time! - Prongs

At the TIME. I'll give you 3 points for your effort,

though.- Padfoot

Thanks. That REALLY helps. - Prongs

Glad I could be of service! - Padfoot

Shut up, you two, and get on with the list. - Moony

2. Challenge to one-on-one Quidditch match--

She WHIPPED you! - Padfoot

I had an off day, okay? - Prongs

Once more... - Moony

Fine, then. - Padfoot

3. Throw birthday party 3 days after actual event--

Okay, NOT my best idea... - Prongs

Aw, c'mon, mate! You forgot! - Padfoot

Still... - Prongs

4.Offer cookie--

You really shouldn't have hexed it, Pads... - Moony

That was BRILLIANT! - Padfoot

Well I'm still not forgiving you. - Prongs

5. Invite to Yule Ball--

You know things are sour when she asks Snivvelus to go before you can get to her. - Padfoot

Shut up. - Prongs

6. Pass a series of detailed love notes during Potions class--

You should've expected her to turn them in to Slughorn! I seriously thought you were smarter than that!! - Moony

IT WAS AN EFFING OFF DAY!! - Prongs

You seem to have a lot of those, Prongsie, mate. - Padfoot

7. Get drunk off of butterbeer and attempt to snog--

Now THAT one was a laugh. - Moony

Just because werewolves don't get drunk as easily doesn't give you the right to rub it in our faces after the fact. - Prongs

Still, alcohol has strange effects on humans... - Moony

Like the time Pads kissed you? - Prongs

DON'T REMIND US!! - Moony and Padfoot

8. Invite to "romantic dinner" in the Forbidden Forest--

That one didn't turn out so great... - Padfoot

No comment. - Prongs

9. Send enchanted love poem--

Maybe you should've chose something else to write

about... - Padfoot

I really didn't expect it to catch fire like that. - Prongs

And that, my dear friend, is why you should pay more attention in Charms class. - Moony

10. Serenade during breakfast--

They've been laughing at you for weeks now... - Padfoot

What're you guys up to NOW? - Lily

QUICK! SCROLL DOWN!! - Padfoot

Wait- did I read that title right? - Lily

Um, NO! Potions homework! That's all... - Prongs

Potions my butt! When've YOU guys ever done any

homework? - Lily

No comment. - Moony

Let me read it! - Lily

Do as the lady says, Prongsie. - Padfoot

... - Lily

...- Prongs

Aw, James, that is the sweetest thing EVER! - Lily

HUH?! Moony and Padfoot

O.o – Prongs

I didn't know you enchanted that poem, James! I thought Sirius hexed it like that cookie! - Lily

Sure, it caught fire right when you read, "my love for you burns like an unstoppable fire," because of ME!! - Padfoot

So, you'll go out with me? - Prongs

No. - Lily

Keep trying, Prongsie, keep trying... - Padfoot

AHEM! It's your line! ... What? Read it to you? (sigh) Very well, here goes...

"OOOO I see a BUTTON!! And it's SHINY!! Hmmm... It says 'review'... what's THAT mean?! Oh well. A button's a button, no matter HOW weird. click "

THERE! Now DO SO! (pwetty pweez wiff a chewwy on top)
