"We have to do what!" Sirius half shouted from his seat.

"Exactly what I said Mr. Black if you had been paying attention," Professor Malian, the Muggle Studies teacher, snapped back at the 6th year student.

"With all due respect, Professor, when Padfoot said 'what?', I don't believe he meant it in a way for you to repeat it. I think he meant it in a 'For the sake of Aggripa we have to do something completely and totally mental!' sort of way," James stated in a matter of fact tone with a half-smile.

Sirius nodded enthusiastically in agreement while Remus just rolled his eyes at his two best friends.

"Watch it Mr. Potter or I'll put both you and Mr. Black in detention," Malian stated firmly before walking away back to her desk.

Sirius waited until she was out of ear shot before saying, "That old bat is mental! I don't want to do this assignment at all!"

"It's not THAT bad," Remus reasoned, "it's relatively easy."

"But we have to watch little kid movies, Moony! And to make it worse, we have to watch MUGGLE little kid movies!"

"At least we can work in a group?" Peter suggested to his friend who was spazzing out.

"That's not that point! I'm a grown man! I don't want to be watching some stinking KID movie! Emphasis on the kid part!" Sirius said in outrage.

"Honestly mate, you're overreacting. Besides you know you'll fall asleep in 2 minutes once the movie begins." James said patting Sirius on the back.

"And 'grown man' my arse. You still sleep with that old dog stuffed animal!" Remus laughed.

"Don't bring Mr. Snuffles into it!" Sirius said offendedly.

"Will you four shut up for a change?" A new voice snapped at them.

"Well, Evans, nice of you to join the conversation!" James said cheerfully to Lily who was sitting in the row in front of the Marauders. "Where do you stand on this? Do you think Sirius can be a grown man and still have a stuffed animal or do you think that makes him a little itty bitty baby?"

"Hey!" Sirius protested.

"Potter, just pay attention to Professor Malian. She's announcing the groups," Lily said with a smile threatening to appear on her lips.

"WAIT! We don't get to pick our groups? When will this cruel joke be over?" Sirius agonized while throwing his hands in the air.

"Mr. Black, hush! And I told you this at the beginning of explaining this assignment." Professor Malian said exasperatedly.

"I have a slight feeling he was freaking out too much to listen intently, Professor," Remus defended his friend.

Professor Malian sighed, "Since SOME people weren't paying attention, I'll recap. I shall pick the group of four you will be working in from a hat and your group will watch a muggle children's movie of my choice. After you watch it, I want a group summary on why you believe muggle children enjoy it, if there are any magical references and if they are portrayed correctly, and your opinion on the movie. Is that really too difficult to manage?"

"Yes!" Sirius started to say before Remus and James covered his mouth with their hands.

"Now here are the groups," Professor Malian said while reaching into the hat.

"Prewett, McKinnon, Rollins, Scott"

"McDonnell, Pettigrew, Davis, Flint."

Peter sighed loudly, "Fan-freaking-tastic. I'm by myself. Lovely."

"Tough luck, Pete." James said sympathetically while patting him on the back.

"And finally, Black-"

Sirius cringed at the thought of watching a children's movie.

"-Lupin-"

"MOONY! Thank Merlin's hat you're in my group! Now I can complain to you the whole time!" Sirius exclaimed while reaching over his chair to hug Remus in a bone-crushing hug.

"Sirius gerroff me!" Remus muttered while being squished.

"-Evans-"

"Lilyflower! You get to join Team Badass! Yay!" Sirius exclaimed while embracing her in the tight hug as well.

"Sirius! I thought you were dreading this! And why are we Team Badass?" Lily exclaimed.

"I've had a change of heart! I get hyper and happy quite easily! And I'm badass therefore we get the name by default," He said happily as he finally let go of the other two who were now gasping for the air he had deprived them of.

"-and Potter. Oh Merlin, this can't be good."

"PADFOOT!" James shouted happily.

"PRONGS! Oh, happy day!" Sirius yelled while stretching his arms out to hug James who, unlike the other two, gladly accepted the hug.

"You two are such idiots," Lily said laughing.

"One person from your group come up to get your movie," Malian called.

"Nose goes!" James yelled out to the four of them.

James and Lily quickly touched their noses, followed quickly by Remus, and Sirius touched his ears instead.

"I said nose, not ears, Padfoot!"

"I'm rebelling! So technically I win!"

"How do you figure that? Just go get it!" James retorted.

"But that seems like fetching. I'm not a dog," Sirius said seriously.

"The irony in that does not go unnoticed. Since you're being a git, I'll go get it," Remus said with an eye roll.

Lily looked confused. "How is that ironic?"

"Never you mind Lilyflower," James said quickly, "Let's just hope Remus picked a good movie."

"How do we get the movie out?" Sirius inquired while walking with James, Lily, and Remus to the Room of Requirement. Sirius was examining the black rectangular object with great interest.

"Do we like poke these circles or something?" He asked about to jab them.

"No! Sirius, you're going to break it!" Lily exclaimed grabbing it from him. "It's a VHS tape. We put it in a machine called a VCR to get it to play! Honestly, don't you pay attention in class?"

"No, not really. I payed attention when we were learning about Muggle food but thats about it," Sirius said honestly.

"Seriously?"

"My middle name is not 'Lee', Lily,"

"That joke is so old, mate," James said with a smile.

"What's your point?"

"Nevermind,"

"We're here, guys" Remus said reaching a corridor.

"So we walk past three times thinking of what we want the room to be, right?" Lily double-checked.

"Yes, Maam. And Sirius NO thinking of water slides! The place was flooded last time," James warned his friend.

Sirius stuck his tounge out, "Kill joy,"

They all walked by the secret door three times before the door swung open and they all walked inside.

Inside was a medium sized room with a large television screen and small VCR player.

"Sweet, bean bag chairs!" Sirius cried out and jumped on one.

"But there are only three of them," Lily observed, "I wonder how that- James! You did that on purpose didn;t you!"

"Now now Lils. Just because I've asked you out a total of 48 times and love you dearly, despite the fact you don't return my love, you accuse me of setting this potentially romantic and datelike atmosphere? It's like you don't know me at all!"

Lily rolled her eyes, "Well I'll just sit with Remus then,"

"OOH! There's chocolate in here!" Remus exclaimed not paying attention to the other two.

There was a large stack of chocolate and butterbeers on a table near one of the bean bag chairs which Remus immediately ran to and began eating a chocolate Hershey's bar.

"Lilyflower, you may wanna sit with James. Sitting with Remus when there's chocolate around can be a very dangerous thing. Trust me, I've got the scars to prove it!" Sirius said pulling up his sleeve to prove his point.

"Well why can't I sit with you?" Lily asked desperately.

James snorted with laughter, "Lils, Sirius is TERRIBLE to sit with. He can't stay still. You would probably end up on the floor eventually,"

"Fine, I'll sit with you," Lily said defeated, although for some reason she wasn't entire sure of, slightly excited.

"Sucess!" James said pumping his fist in the air.

"Don't push it,"

"Sorry,"

"Let's get this movie started!" Sirius whined from his bean bag chair in the middle of the three.

"What movie is it anyway?" Lily asked Remus.

"Sphmfink cwlled thh wyyle mwermyid"

"Come again?" James asked unphased by Remus speaking with a mouth full of chocolate.

Remus swallowed before answering this time, "Something called The Little Mermaid,"

"Never heard of it," Lily stated while putting the tape in the VCR.

"Who wants to watch a movie about mermaids? They're quite ugly and gross," Sirius complained.

"So are you but we still put up with you," James answered.

"That hurt, Prongs," Sirius said in an mockingly sad voice.

"Ok it's starting," Lily said coming to a halt in front of the only remaining beanbag chair.

"After you M'lady," James said with his arm putstretched as gesture for her to sit.

Lily couldn't help but giggle a bit at that and replied, "Why thank-you good sir," and took a seat.

James happily sat next to her but respected her personal space and sat a bit further away then he would have liked.

"Ok here we go," Sirius said in a bored voice as the movie began.

The group actually watching the movie will be coming up in the next chapter and it will be a commentary basically.

Please review! Otherwise, I'll be sad and want chocolate and Remus won't share.

I felt like just doing little stories and I figured I wouldn't feel pressured to update with these as much as my other stories that I always neglect to finish.
