Hey y'all, this is my two chap. shot wonder LATE NIGHT (in the common rooms) NO it is not smut it is a complete comedy about what goes on at night in the Gryffindor common rooms when Sirius Black can't sleep. BTW mentioned in there are the Weird Sisters, which is the name of the band that played at the Yule ball in the fourth Potter movie. And Pandora Fhin is our made up name for Luna's mom because when I tried asking JK what her name would be, she hadn't created one ever so oh well.Read and Review please. JK owns all.

It was one-oh-clock in the morning and the whole castle had gone to sleep. All except Gryffindor resident, Sirius Black or Padfoot to his close friends. Yes it was she night of the new moon and Sirius couldn't help but not be able to sleep after the day's wonderfully hilarious events.

The day started out with a quick trip to Hogsmead for breakfast with Remus and James at the Three Broomsticks. A detour on the way back to the main castle consisted of setting Lucius' DADA, potions, and transfiguration homework at the trunk of the Womping Willow along with his wand. How, you ask, did they get these things from the Slytherin commons? Using secret passage way provided by hidden doors and helpful paintings, and who would ever forget their mastermindly created Marauders map, of course. Oh and the assistance of James' invisibility cloak. After that was a cool Sunday in the courtyard laughing at whatever Severus had done that day.

But now at night, Sirius could not help but be awake so he thought of a plan. It was a mischievous plan and would be breaking at least three or four rules, so what was new. The dynamic trio was always getting into trouble that they practically had their own assigned seats in Dumbledore and McGonagall's offices. Never, did they ever go a day without causing mayhem, chaos, panic or all of the above.

After a few minutes of pondering the plan Sirius set it into action and, careful not to step on creaky boards, slipped out of bed. He tiptoed across the room to where Remus' bed lay and Remus cringed with whatever happened in his dreams. Poor Remus, never could manage his sleeping state. Sirius thought. Taking Remus' shoulder, he shook him awake until Remus opened his eyes. "You can't be serious!" Remus groaned.

"Yes I am," Sirius replied. "Who is this imposter that keeps confusing everyone? I am Sirius and that is the end of it. No get up you bloke and then get James up and meet me downstairs. Or else… And be quiet, don't wake anyone." Moony (Remus) didn't argue and slipped out as well and made his way over to James. Padfoot turned and quietly flew down the stairs. (Not literally, he has no broom.)

The Gryffindor main common room was silent except for the fire that was constantly kept in the fireplace. It also provided the only light in the room, but it was bright enough for Sirius' idea. The fire made the golden drapes and various fabrics decorating the room glow and the maroon shimmer. He grabbed a deck of cards from the bookshelf and threw them on the floor in the middle of the room. Then he pulled the latch that opened a secret compartment only known to seventh year Gryffindors this year (created by James). Inside the compartment was a stash of the only alcohol they had left, the butter beers. There were six bottles and they would have to do, seeing as though Sirius didn't not have the patience to sneak out and get some from Hogsmead tonight.

He set the butter bears on the floor as well and began shuffling the cards as Remus and James finally made their way down the staircase. When James just refused to move, Remus picked him up, threw him over his shoulder and carried him the rest of the way. "I really hate when you guys do this. Why did you wake me up this time?" he asked.

"Take one of these, you'll need it if you want to stand a chance." Sirius handed him a butter bear and passed five cards to each of them. They cracked open the first bottles, said cheers and took a long swig. It went down with a slight burn but with good taste. It was no pumpkin juice. "Okay Remus, have any threes?" Sirius asked.

Remus replied in a hushed but powerful and dignant voice, "Go fish!" (Oh yes it's true.)

And so the games began. Sirius' short winning streak came to a halt when James got a bit drunk and a lot crazier. Then they won in and out getting louder and crazier by the minute. Once the first sets of bottles were gone they moved on to chugging the next. They swayed side to side with sticky cards singing-horribly- the lyrics to some rock song by the Weird Sisters. At one point they were laughing so hard at nothing that they had started crying and at that rate would have potential embarrassing laundry confrontations.

It wasn't until the promise of being caught came that they remembered the time and tat they were supposed to be quiet. But, it was not another student waking that scared them most, it was McGonagall coming through the fat lady's door/painting and catching them up so late and drunk on top of that. Her rage would be like taking a sludge hammer to a red neck's hummer and then giving him a long range shot gun. You don't even have time to run.

So, when the door began to open, the Marauders leaped behind any couch of chair they could manage but left their items laying in the middle of the floor. But it was not the voice they expected to hear that called to them. No, it was definitely who they would have guessed. "Oh don't get your knickers in a bunch you ninnies." Said the bright blond, dressed in blue, bright-eyed, Pandora Fhin, a close friend of Lovegood.

"Oh, phew, hi Thumper."
