Hey! So this is my new story and well... give it a shot? This chapter is mainly introductory stuff, hopefully the next one will be more interesting but anyway allow me to present... The Games, courtesy of the Marauders
It was another ordinary day in the Gryffindor Common Room. Yet it wasn't. Because today was the day eight Gryffindor seventh years got together for their annual round of the "Games, courtesy of the marauders." It was the most anticipated time of the year. After all, who didn't want to make a fool of themselves? It was their favorite day of the year, when they let everything loose, which is why on this fateful Tuesday evening, Alice Prewett, Frank Longbottom, Marlene McKinnon, Lily Evans, James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew were sitting in a circle in the Room of Requirement.
"So the time has come," Sirius Black announced in a very professional voice. He gave a dramatic pause, for effect of course. "It is time for the Games. Now for the instructions…" He unrolled a rather long parchment.
Everyone rolled their eyes. This would take a while. Lily leaned against James' and they both exchanged a smirk. Alice and Marlene's heads drooped while Frank tried to stay alert, though his eyes looked glazed. Peter had already fallen asleep and had chosen that moment to give a loud snore, causing Sirius to eye him unappreciatively. Even Remus, who liked rules in general, seemed half-asleep.
"The Games start off with an icebreaker of Bed Wed and Dead," Sirius began, in a tone that would put have Professor Binns to shame. "In this game a person must give another player three names. The player, in turn must say which person they'd marry, who's they'd kill and who they'd do the dirty with." He wiggled his eyebrows at this. "Now after two hours of this, we start to the more major part of the game: Truth or Dare!" He looked around, as if expecting everyone to start clapping. No one did. He sighed exasperatedly. "C'mon guys! This is our last year playing the Games!"
"Padfoot mate, I love you like a brother but even I want to kill you right now," James said. "We all know the rules. We all just want to play." There was a murmur of agreement from everyone that was awake. Peter just snored again.
Sirius looked slightly hurt. "Well if you're so sure…"
Everyone nodded frantically.
"But I think we should do something special this year. It is our last year. I say we have a more intense game of truth or dare, like something extraordinary, something amazing, something unique, something phenomenal, something no one's ever seen…"
"Just get to the point, James," Lily said exasperatedly. She hadn't skipped her homework to hear James' impressive vocabulary skills.
"I was just trying to make a point," James said defensively.
"Which is?"
"That we should have a three-day long game, non-stop during classes and everything. No breaks." He said this rather bluntly.
"What?" Lily asked incredulously, not sure she had heard correctly.
"I think that sounds brilliant," Sirius said, his eyes twinkling. "Peter?"
"What?" he murmured sleepily. "I agree with Remus," he raised his hand, eyes still closed and then started snoring again.
"He didn't even hear us." Sirius said, glaring.
Remus smirked. "Yet he still sided with me. Even in his sleep, Pete knows that I'm always right."
James rolled his eyes. "So what do you think, Moony?"
"Do I really have a choice?"
"Not really. See it was in the rule book. Last year of doing this, three day long game, no breaks." Sirius said, pointing vaguely to the extremely long roll of parchment. "And you all signed it," he added smugly.
Several furious cries filled the room, as a couple of hands grabbed the parchment, hoping Sirius was lying. But he wasn't.
"Well now that that's settled—"
Before he could finish, Lily had lunged for his neck. "I WILL KILL YOU SIRIUS BLACK!"
James leaned back, grinning as he watched his girlfriend repeatedly hit his best mate. This would take some time.
AN: So what did you think? Good? Bad? Alright? Next chapter is Bed, Wed, Dead so leave some ideas in the reviews! :D
