A/N : hi guys, this is my new story, once again I really hope you people like it.
PREFACE
"REMUS…I can't believe you. You are sticking up to those pieces of vermin! You know those buddies of yours blew up the entire Great hall" Lilly screamed at the top of her voice, poking him accusingly
"Lilly. They didn't mean it…" he tried, but quickly backtracked at her expression " ok, I admit they planned it. but they never expected it, to be so out of hand" Remus tried again, he had been defending his friends for almost 2 hours and frankly he was running out of arguments
"Don't mean it, Ha..Don't make me laugh, they are the marauders, when the dust cleared they were laughing their ass off" she scoffed
"Well…" he tried to hide his own smile "they didn't mean to happen, but once it did, they couldn't help but laugh" he said weakly, even he knew, his arguments were weak
"Seriously Remus, you are going with that argument! and stop laughing, this is not funny" Lilly said furiously, seeing the smile on Remus lips
"Oh come on Lilly, seeing 50 slytherins dressed in pink tutu trying to swim through the Great hall is funny" Remus said reasonably
He almost though he won when he saw a smile twitching her lips but it was gone as suddenly as it came replacing with her famous scowl
"Lilly, you always blame us, they have faults too, and they deserved it this time. You know they made our entire room red hot so that we couldn't touch anything! For weeks, we didn't sleep on our bed, I don't see you lecturing them" He argued back
"Because I am not their Prefect, I am yours! What good I am, if I couldn't get my own house to take me seriously, but then again, it's not worth It, if you guys stoop to the slytherines level" Lilly yelled
"They will never stoop to Slytherins's level. Those maniacs use dark magic, while all James do is pranks and it's just for a laugh" Remus snarled, it's true his friends were little immature and may be out of their minds but that does not give, anyone the right to compare them to Slytherins
"Laugh, your idea of laugh is to make others feel humiliated" Lilly snarled too
Remus was now thoroughly bored; he felt he had been in this argument for years…
"Look Lilly, we are the Marauders, it's who we are and it's what we do! Everybody knows that, even you're so called victims. They know it's just for laugh and they laugh with us even if it was at their own expense
"You wouldn't laugh if the joke was on you" she snipped back
"Are you kidding me, most of their joke are on me, they made me sing love songs to Dumbledore, they made me ask McGonagall on a date and just last month they charmed my entire wardrobe to look like a girl, hell I still have the marks of the bra cutting into my skin" he said evenly and a ghost of smile passed through her lips as she remembered the girl Remus
"Yeah I was beyond humiliated, but I also knew it was just for fun, so I returned the favor to them, it's just how it goes on Lilly" he said in his patient voice, something he frequently used when dealing with over hyper Lilly
"And Snape, I don't think he enjoys their pranks as must as you do" she said again, she will be dammed if she let Remus to succeed in defending his ruddy friends
To this Remus face darkened
"Snape is an entirely different case and you know it! He and James hate each other and that hate is not going anywhere, anytime soon. Snape hexes James whenever his back is turned. hell, he even have cuts that bleed to this day, thanks to snape. So what is he supposed to do, take all this lying down" Remus asked angrily, as though offended at Lilly for even suggesting it
"That don't justify the things they did Remus! Merlin..I don't even know how you can stand them let alone be friends with them" she screeched
He was silent for a second as he eyes shined with untold emotions
"Look I know, you don't think highly of them but they are good people, I know that ok..!" he said with such conviction that for a moment it baffled her.
It took her a moment to gather herself and focus back to her anger
"ok, I will believe you if you give me one good example of them being even remotely nice because frankly Remus I never had a good fortune to witness that'" she said sarcastically
Remus opened his mouth to say something but closed it again, looking troubled and helpless, which of course, she took as a cue for her victory
"hah..You can't think of anything, can you? " she asked smugly
But Remus didn't acknowledge her victory, forcing her to admit temporary defeat.
She sighed heavily and looked at him almost pitifully
"I said what I could, Remus, but it's your life, if you want to spend time with those selfish prats then there is nothing I can do, but I still think you deserve friends that are much better than those freaks" she said dramatically and walked away
He watched her disappear with a heavy heart
"You are wrong Lilly, it is I who don't deserve them" he said softly as he walked back to common room with a rush of memories…
