A Little Bet

Chapter One: The Bet

Around Christmas Time, most students at Hogwarts School at Witchcraft and Wizardry were annoyed with the mass amounts of homework near the holiday and trudging through snow that were up to their knees to Care of Magical Creatures or Herbology.

Even the Marauders were sickened.

It was on the way to Herbology when Sirius snapped.

"Why don't they have the classes inside if it's Oh, I dunno…storming?"

"I know, mate." Said James Potter, his best friend.

"And why don't they give us fires in our pockets or something?"

"I know, mate."

"And why do the hot girls wear jackets and sweaters and damn hats so we can't see them when the ugly girls don't care about the cold?" finished Sirius, as a not very attractive as you would call it Hufflepuff passed them, the Hufflepuff heard and glared at Sirius, walking away faster.

"I kno-"

"If you say I know, Mate one more time, I shall throttle you." said Sirius dangerously, making his friend shut up.

"Padfoot, Let me answer all these questions for you." said their know it all friend, Remus Lupin said. "It will be too much work to move all the equipment and such inside when it's storming out and then move it out again when its sunny, Kids would probably get confused, getting late to classes because their unsure where to go. If we had fires in our pockets we would probably get too over heated and get burns, or catch on fire. The pretty girls were jackets and sweaters and 'damn hats' because they're probably don't want to get their makeup messed up by the snow or something."

Sirius stared at him with confusion since Remus said this all together and nodded slowly.

They made it to the green houses, which the path way was free of snow. Sirius ran to the green house door and wrenched it open, the warm air blowing out of the room; He walked inside, taking their usual seat in a corner.

James, Remus and their sidekick of a friend, Peter, sat next to him and took off their winter cloaks, waiting for class to start.

James zoned out, since Lily Evans walked in and took a seat next to her friends on the other side of the room; He turned his head to watch her.

The other Marauders rolled their eyes and Sirius grabbed James's neck and turned it towards him.

"I bet you can't last a day without looking at Lily, flirting with her or any other girl at all." said Sirius smirking.

"Oh yeah?" said James, smirking back. "You couldn't last a second without snogging a girl."

Sirius laughed. "I just did, Prongs."

"Want to make it a bet, Padfoot?" said James, grinning

Sirius said. "Since when did I drop a bet?"

Remus interrupted. "Wait."

"What?" the two boys asked, looking at their friend.

Remus sighed. "I don't think you should do this."

"Oh, hear that Padfoot?" asked James conversationally. "We shouldn't do it, hasn't this question popped up a lot before?"

"Oh yes." said Sirius in the same tone.

Peter squeaked with laughter. Remus glared at his friends and said. "Well." Taking out a quill and parchment. "What are the rules?"
