Hi! This is my first fanfic so I really don't have any witty disclaimer to use...
Oh well...I don't own Harry Potter. All rights belong to J.K. Rowling, etc., etc.
So, enjoy (or not, whatever...but that'd be really mean *pouts*) and tell me what you think!
Moment: Date
The first time Remus hears James crowing jubilantly that he's finally gotten the Lily Evans, who is infamous for rejecting James Potter, lady killer, every single time (which was a lot), to go on a date, of all things, with him the next Hogsmeade trip, he throws open the window he is studying next to in the Gryffindor common room to check for flying pigs, or maybe fallen pieces of the sky – anything that indicates the inevitable apocalypse.
But then again, it is Hogwarts, so when he does happen see a large, rather bright pink porker with pearly gray wings similar to those of a dove fluttering wildly by the window, he dismisses it as a charm gone wrong and runs down to make sure that James hasn't accidentally gotten any details wrong – wrong girl, wrong reality (it had taken him three hours last week to convince James that yes, he had dreamed getting the girl of his dreams since third year to go out with him; no, what he did in his dreams did not affect what he did in the real world; and no, Lily was not going to go on a date with him next Saturday), wrong wording, wrong interpretation, wrong anything.
James remains happily delusional and continues exclaiming to all and sundry that he has finally gotten his dearest wish to come true.
Remus decides to go to someone who is sane to verify it, dragging Peter and Sirius to go along with him – he does not want to face Lily alone when she finds out that James has gone and told everybody and their mother that they are going on a date.
When he finds out that Lily actually has gone and agreed, of all things, to James's asking her out, he decides that the entire world has gone and lost its mind and goes back to bed, leaving Peter and Sirius to party with James and quite a few hordes of crestfallen females of the "James Potter Fan Club" sobbing in small groupies in the corners of anywhere – the hallways, the classrooms, the common rooms, the bathrooms, even the dungeons…
The next few days, Remus is convinced that the whole school is playing a prank on him. It takes going up to a sulking Snape, of all people, as he would never participate in anything as uncouth and barbaric as a prank to finally make him realize that yes, this is really happening.
For the rest of the week, the remaining Marauders simply laugh at his humiliation and wounded pride.
This is supposed to be a series of oneshots, and I've already written out three more, but I'd like to know what the readers think before I add anything more, so please review!
