Chapter 1: Backfired.
Remus Lupin and Sirius Black had a heated argument regarding the pranks the marauders continued to play on 'Snivellus'. Remus decided that Sirius had gone too far, after witnessing Severus unwillingly being pushed out of the astronomy tower window. To Sirius', Remus', and Peter's horror, they had absolutely no time to pull out their wands as, Severus managed to grip firmly onto James Potter's robes and pull him out the window and downwards to the earth below.
James and Severus pulled their wands from their robes, but regardless of their efforts, gravity won and Severus face planted into the ground, while James landed heavily on top of the fifth year Slytherin student.
"Bloody hell, It was only a couple of broken bones!" Sirius roared, as he ran his long finger through his dark hair. Remus and Sirius stood in the Gryffindor common room arguing for what seemed like hours. "It was just as much Prongs' idea as it was mine,"
Remus, who managed to lose his clam nature merely hour ago, shook his head unimpressed and raised his eyebrows', "You planed for Severus and James, both, to fall out of a window?"
"Of course not. Alright, I'll confess, I got a little heated and I accidentally caused this accident." The common room grew quiet, the only noise was the crackling from the fire that heated the room. Remus glared half-heartedly at his friend, as much as he wanted to be, he couldn't stay mad at him for long. Deciding not to row anymore, Remus retreated to the cushioned arm chair in the corner of the room and sat down.
Sirius stayed quiet or a while too, before the silence started to grate on his nerves a bit, and the stillness wasn't as welcome as it was ten minutes ago.
"I'm sorry, mate." Sirius started, before barking with laughter, "I'm sure Prongs is going to laugh all about this once madam pomfrey is finished with him."
Remus brought his knees up and wrapped his arms around them, rested his head on top of his knees for a moment. At Padfoot's comment he lifted his head again and grinned. "I heard Snivellus broke his fall." Sirius smiled happily at Moony, seeing that they were on perfect terms again. He opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by a loud sniff that came from the left west side of the common room.
The portrait hole opened and a dark figure stepped towards them, a rounded chubby faced boy stumbled forward towards the pair. The forth, and final, member of the marauders, Peter Pettigrew. "I-I just went to see James, b-but I got turffed out." he sighed heavily.
Sirius grinned and playfully ruffled his hand through Wormtail's thin blond hair, "Then it's decided tomorrow at the crack of dawn, we're going to go down to the Hospital wing and visit our best mate." Peter nodded his head several times in agreement to Padfoot's statement. Sirius turned towards Remus wanting his approval but was surprised to see him staring aimlessly out of the window.
Sirius casually flung his arm over Remus' shoulder, and glanced at the Gryffindor perfect. Remus' looked petrified. Concerned Sirius forced his eyes off of the brunette marauder to the window, it wasn't hard to notice the object that caused fear to shine in Remus' eyes. The moon. Sirius sighed relieved, and squeezed Remus' shoulder attempting to comfort him.
"It's not a full moon, yet. So, you, Moony, still have time to let loose. Maybe, once James is out of the hospital wing we can drink, and who knows, we could even invite that Persephone girl in Ravenclaw. " Sirius smirked as he noticed Remus' face turn a dark shade of pink, "Don't deny it, Moony, your fond of her. I know you want to Snog her-"
Remus swiftly moved away from Sirius, attempting to seem disgusted, but he was blushing so much that his face was crimson red, "Shut it, Padfoot, or I'll have to turn you into a werewolf."
"I'll push Wormtail in front of me so you can dig your teeth into his fat as-"
Peter gasped as a glass he was previously holding shattered at his feet, "A-are you serious Padfoot?" He stuttered shaking like mad.
Both Sirius and Remus burst out into laughter. Remus waved his wand, mumbled 'reparo' under his breath, and the glass repaired its self, "Of course not, I was just joking," Sirius replied clearly amused. The three boy's continued to joke and rally until midnight, when eventually they called it a night and headed up towards their dormitory.
Remus glanced aimlessly at the darkness around him; the moonlight the only source of light seemed eerie as it crept across the ground below his four post bed. Almost exactly when Peter's head hit the pillow snores emerged from his bed. Remus snorted softly as he shifted under his sheet and glanced at Sirius. His blanket was carelessly draped over his lower half and fell onto the floor. Startled, Remus jumped as Sirius' spoke. "Is something bothering you, Remus?"
"Oh, no, noth-nothing's wrong," He stammered embarrassed, as he silently thanked Merlin that Sirius couldn't see his face, because he was clearly blushing.
