'Come on, guys! Time to make the greatest breakfast off all- '

SMACK!

'OW, FUCK!'

'Morning,' Lily Evans smirked, looking at the 10 foot tall boy led on the ground, nursing his forehead.

'Prongs, that's the twentieth time you've whacked your head on a lintel in two days,' Sirius Black said, leaning over his friend.

'Shut up. I can't help my height!' James Potter replied, sitting up.

'You could have. You didn't have to shrink yourself in the Television Room,' Lily said.

'And it's been two days! You really aren't used to it already?' Peter Pettigrew asked.

'Oh, yes, because thirteen years of being of being natural height for my age can be completely subverted over two short days,' James replied, standing. 'Anyway, let's get back on track. As I was saying, time to make the greatest breakfast of all time! Padfoot, you're pancake duty. Wormtail, you get on with the eggs: scrambled for Remus, fried for me, omelette for Sirius and I'm guessing you're having boiled. I'll do the sausages, bacon and hash browns. Let's go!'

'What's with the fancy breakfast? Also, where's Remus?' Lily asked.

'He's...sick,' Sirius replied.

'That's why we're making the breakfast: to make him feel better,' Peter explained.

Lily picked up the muggle newspaper in front of her as she ate her toast.

FIVE MISSING AT AMERICAN PIZZERIA, the headline read.

'Merlin, I hope they're okay,' she said to herself.

'Hey, guys, watch!' Sirius flipped the pan in his hand. The pancake flew into the air before landing perfectly back in the pan.

'Good skills, Padfoot,' James smiled.

'Hey, guys, do you think Remus'll want blueberry pancakes?' Sirius asked.

'He'll literally kill you if you do that,' Lily replied, turning the page.

'He can't if he's sick and bedridden,' Sirius replied.

'I think you're forgetting, Padfoot, that Remus is a bit more...violent when he's sick,' Peter reminded him.

'"Violent when he's sick"?' Lily questioned.

'Yeah. I know it sounds weird, but it's true. You do not wanna get on his bad side today,' James replied.

The three boys finished off making the supreme meal before serving it on trays. They nodded to Lily as they passed her.

'Come back here when you're done,' she said. 'We're gonna have to figure out who's going to take Remus' shifts.'

'Got it, Lil- '

SMACK!

'MERLIN'S HAIRY ARSE!'

'Make that twenty-one.'

After James had recovered from his second head injury of the day, they left the room and entered the Great Glass Lift. They pressed the button labelled 'Bedroom Corridor' and they zipped off. A few seconds later, the lift came to a stop and the doors opened. They entered the corridor and wandered up to the door labelled 'Remus' Room'. James knocked.

'Come in,' a hoarse voice croaked from the other side.

'Hey, Moony,' James smiled, ducking as he stepped in the room, determined to not hit his head again.

'Heya, guys.' A small, sad smile appeared on Remus Lupin's blue face at the sight of his friends.

'I present to you, Sir, the greatest breakfast to ever be created,' Sirius said, placing one of the trays on Remus' lap.

'Guys, you didn't have to,' Remus said, sitting up.

'Of course we did!' James replied.

'I think you'll find the blueberry pancakes are the best part!' Sirius added.

'W-wait, did you say...b-blueberry?' Remus asked, shaking slightly.

'I'm joking! They're chocolate chip.'

'Oh...' Remus sighed with relief. 'Thanks.'

'Y'know, Moony, you look really tired,' James said.

'Really? Me, tired before a full moon? Unheard of! Shocking!' Remus rolled his eyes.

'No, I mean, even more so,' James confirmed. 'Hold on...did you have a nightmare again?'

'...Maybe.'

'Alright, which one was it?' Sirius asked. 'Greyback or blueberry?'

'Blueberry,' Remus sighed. 'I haven't actually had the Greyback one since the tour.'

'Moony, um, are you okay?' Peter asked. 'I mean, you keep having that nightmare, you start shaking whenever blueberries are mentioned and you avoid the Inventing Room as much as you can.'

'I'm fine,' Remus replied.

'Are you sure, Moony?' James asked. 'Ever since the tour, you've refused to mention what happened to you, even though, if we did some brainstorming, we could find a cure for your skin.'

'Guys, seriously, I'm fine,' Remus spoke with a slightly harsher tone this time.

'But, Rem- '

'I SAID I'M FINE!'

Remus' face fell the minute the words spilled from his mouth.

'Oh Merlin... I-I'm really sorry! It's just...'

'The wolf?' Peter guessed.

'Yeah...' Remus replied. 'I think it's madder about what happened than I am.'

'Moony, it's fine,' Sirius said. 'We understand. Anyway, we'd better get going. Lily wants us to reorganise the shift schedule for today, since you're "sick".'

'Okay. Bye, guys.'

'See you later, Moony.'


'Okay, Lily, we're ba- '

SMACK!

'Twenty-two.'


Heya, guys! We're back! I published this a lot sooner than I thought I would...

I actually came up with the idea for this fanfiction and it's predecessor after I auditioned to be in my school production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and was lucky enough to receive the role of the chocolate wizard himself, Willy Wonka.

Last night, when I started writing this chapter we had our final performance. Afterwards, everyone got really emotional for multiple reasons:

1. We didn't want it to be over after practising for so long.

2. Our drama teacher who directed it all was leaving.

3. A few of our friends were leaving and it's unlikely we'll ever see them again.

Usually, I'm a rock. It's hard to make me cry, but last night... Merlin, I couldn't stop.

So, though I know it's unlikely any of them are reading, shout out to the cast and crew of the BSCS production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I had a wonderful time and I'll never forget it!
