Hi.
I love the Marauders but I really don't think I could hold up a full story. So I've decided that I'm going to do thirty seven one shots involving the Marauders at Hogwarts.
This isn't a highly original idea, mind you, but one shots are fun and so are the Marauders, which doubles to fun, therefore thirty seven one shots about the Marauders is like seventy four times the fun!
Enjoy!
1. Sirius Black and the Sorting Hat
"Black, Sirius!" called Professor McGonagall's voice.
Sirius strode up to the stool and sat down, the eyes of everyone in the Great Hall on him. Professor McGonagall dropped the Sorting Hat on his head and it fell over his eyes.
"Ah, Sirius Black," said a voice in Sirius's ear.
"Yeah, that's me," thought Sirius, "state the bleeding obvious."
"I see you've inherrited the family attitude," said the Hat.
"Does that count towards which House I'll be put in?" Sirius asked, "because if it doesn't then you're just wasting time."
"True, true," said the Hat, "so do you have any preferences Mr Black?"
"I can choose?"
"Generally I don't give students that option but I think you seem capable of choosing your own House," said the Hat.
"So I should feel priviledged then?"
"I would say so," said the Hat. "So which House will it be?"
"Which House do you think would most annoy the family?" asked Sirius as if it were the most obvious thing in the world and the Hat was just playing stupid.
"Good point," said the Hat, and Sirius was sure that had the Sorting Hat been a person it would've bowed it's head. "I think you should most definitely be GRYFFINDOR!"
Sirius grinned and strode happily over to the Gryffindor table, knowing all to well that he was going to be receiving a Howler from his mother the next morning to which he had to wrestle down the urge to laugh out loud at.
