((AN: It's mindless, nonsense fluff that I dabble out when I have nothing better to do. Enjoy, review, do as you please. There will probably be more of these. This is the first of many moments in the lives of the Marauders))
Mischief Has Its Moments
A moment of disassociation
"How are you supposed to write an essay when you can't even think?"
"You just do..."
"God, will you listen to them? It's been hours!"
"Let them be. Do your essay."
"Are you actually hearing this?"
"Well..."
"Well? Are you?"
"Of coarse I am! They're being bloody loud..."
"They should know that the whole common room can hear them."
"Padfoot, don't you dare go up there!"
"Oh, c'mon, Moony! You know it'd be fun to catch them off guard."
"....Well...yes...but you won't be the one to do it!"
"And why the bloody hell not?"
"Because I won't 'bloody well' let you! Now do your bloody essay!"
"You're such a fussbudget."
"A what?!"
"A fussbudget! It means you worry too much. I read it in Hogwarts: A History. Apparently Huffulpuff was quite a nag in her day."
"You read Hogwarts: A History?"
"Yeah! I mean...not all of it. Don't look at me like that! And don't do that thing with your eyes when you're surprised...it makes you look bloody creepy."
"Well, I'm sorry. I just never thought I'd see the day!"
"Oh come off it, Moony, I'm not a total moron!"
"You could've fooled me..."
"Anyway! My uselessness--"
"I never said you were useless--"
"My apparent uselessness to my friends is not what is in question here..."
"Your really not going to do your essay, are you?"
"No. Now, would you like to know what the question is?"
"Sure, why the hell not?"
"The question is, whether or not James thinks these walls are soundproof!"
"Apparently he does, the poor bugger. Lily will be mortified.... Don't laugh!"
"I'm not! I'm not!"
"People are starting to whisper...shit."
"I should go inform them immediately!"
"Sirius...Sirius no! Sirius get back here! Oh...bloody hell..."
