Marauders Go Alphabetically
26 shorts stories on our favourite Marauders and their time spend on Hogwarts. A lot of mischief and ridiculousness is to ensue, obviously. Starts at their first month and probably/hopefully ends with their graduation. Wolfstar insinuation but nothing hardcore.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but My silly sense of humour. English is NOT my first Language and I'm too impatient for a bèta.
Plus, I obviously do not mean to insult anyone with any chosen theme.
A – Autistic
In which three of the Marauders wonder what that quiet kid is all about.
"Do you think he is autistic?"
Four boys sitting in a dorm room. It's a dreary evening though it's supposed to be summer. One boy sits on his bed, nose in a book and blanket pulled up to his knees. It is a calm and pleasant sight, really.
The other three are sitting behind a bed, attempting to be out of sight. Though in all honesty one boy's unruly hair ruins the attempt.
It was the chubby boy, Peter, that posed the question while leaning towards the other.
"What is autistic?" An almost porcelain boy with ebony curls whispers in honest wonder in a way only a wizard can.
"No." The boy, James, turns and slightly lifts his head to sneak a peek at the boy on the bed. Still not aware his hair is probably visible from every corner of the earth.
"He looks too smart."
"Autists can be smart." Peter argues.
"What is an autists." The porcelain boy, Sirius, asks again.
"But I think they don't talk.." Peter hesitantly adds to his previous statement.
"Well, he did introduce himself on the train so that can't be it." James says.
"But!" Peter whispers, leaning in closer again. "It is a thing of autism that those people are kind off addicted to one thing and he seems to be glued to his books."
"What is autism!" Sirius asks but is, once again ignored by his co conspirators.
"That is true.. And there is something weird about him. No one in their right mind is this quiet." James ponders.
"Nor this pale. But I don't know if that is a sign of autism."
"Would someone PLEASE tell me what this autismictism is!"
"Shhhh!" Peter and James frantically wave their arms at Sirius but a calm voice drifts through the room.
"Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired social interaction and non verbal communication. Some restricted and repetitive behaviour as well and I, for one, do not have it."
With that, young Remus Lupin carefully places his book on his pillow and calmly walks to the door in a way that you would never guess he was only 11 years old. There seemed to be so much wisdom and life experience in the fragile little kid.
"And in case you guys lost track of time, dinner will be served soon and when I visited the kitchen earlier, the elves let something slip about pizza."
This time three heads poke over the edge of the bed, voicing their thoughts.
"Smart!"
"Pizza?"
"KITCHEN?!"
So. That was chapter 1. I hope you guys enjoyed it! I've got an entire alphabetical theme list at the ready but some input is always welcome, obviously! As are reviews.
Somehow I could so easily imagine Remus just accidentily tickling the pear while admiring the artwork and then just be adored by the elves.
