1. Banana

Remus opened the dormitory door and stopped mid-step. It looked like a disaster area. Textbooks were scattered all across the floor and beds. Robes were hanging from the posts and canopy tops and across the window sill. Socks and pants in various colors were dangling from the nightstands and the head of one Sirius Black, who was, as usual, in the centre of it all.

Remus shook his head and took another step into the room. He noticed something slimy, black, and covered in green speckles beside his foot. He nudged it experimentally with the toe of his trainer. It wiggled repulsively and Remus hurriedly side-stepped it.

"Sirius," he asked in exasperation, "what in Merlin's name do you think you're doing?"

The raven-haired boy looked up from his task of tossing every possession within his trunk out into the room and leaped to his feet. "Moony," he cried, grabbing onto Remus' shoulders with both hands, "you've got to help me! I can't find it."

Remus knocked the (disturbingly) yellow pants off from atop Sirius' head and gazed at him in confusion. "Can't find what?" he asked.

"You remember that banana we charmed a while back?" Sirius said, a half-wicked, half-desperate gleam entering his grey eyes.

Remus stared at his lover in surprise. "That's what you're looking for?" Sirius nodded vigorously. "I threw it out over a week ago."

"What?" Sirius yelped. "Why would you do that?"

"It was a piece of fruit, Sirius," Remus sighed, his unlimited supply of patience taking over. "It was beginning to rot."

"Bugger," Sirius said mournfully. "I really liked that banana."

Remus' eyes sparked and he grinned deviously. "Would you like another banana, Sirius?" he asked innocently.

"What's the point?" Sirius scoffed. "It'll just rot again." He glanced at Remus and his eyes widened slightly. "Oh…oh!" His grin spread to match Remus'.

A short time later, Lily Evans was found sitting in the common room. The portrait swung open and James Potter stepped through the hole. He was carrying his broom and had obviously just come back from Quidditch practise. Lily sunk down in her seat, praying Potter wouldn't notice her. He strolled by obliviously and made his way up the boys' dormitory steps.

Peace made its way through the common room. It was broken a moment later by a manly shriek of horror and a cry of, "Oh, sweet Merlin, my eyes!"

The inhabitants of the room glanced towards the staircase in confusion and a bit of apprehension. What have they done now? Lily thought warily.

Another long moment of silence stretched out before Potter's voice floated back down to the common room; softer than before, but containing a stilted mix of curiosity, abhorrence, and disbelief.

"What were you two ponces doing with those bananas?"
