A.N: Wow, it's been long since I last wrote! anyways, I'm planning this story to be about 10 chapters long, I don't do really long stories.
Title: A Lesson Learned
Summary: Set in Marauders era, when Sirius stumbles upon Severus in cat form in the Slytherin Dungeons due to a prank. To his shock, Snape turns out to be very different than his original image and a lot more similar to Sirius himself. Can Sirius overcome his blind hate? Again, NO SLASH - I intend this to be a story of friendship.
"Bad idea…bad idea…this is a such a BLOODY BAD IDEA!"
Remus Lupin's voice had nearly disappeared entirely from repeating these words over and over again as he paced the floor of the Room of Requirement agitatedly. James Potter laughed lightly.
"You say that about all of our master pranks, mate!"
"That's usually because it's true – and you always get caught by Professor McGonagall, and I have to go to detention even when I really am innocent."
James sighed and patted Remus' head condescendingly. "Moony, Moony, dear old Moony. There is one lesson of life that you must learn; once you join the Marauders, you're never innocent." At the corner of the room, Sirius Black lounged casually on a large bean bag chair. Half-listening to the banter, he flashed a well-practiced smirk and called out, "Relax, Moons! What can go wrong?"
"Er…well…you could get caught in the Slytherin Common Room and dormitories, Snivellus can catch you, and when your worst enemy finds you in forbidden territory, not to mention in cat form, without a wand, you're going to be in trouble. Not to mention, if a teacher sees you, a load of points are going to be docked from Gryffindor."
The three stared at this sudden rant from the normally reserved Peter Pettigrew, before Remus gestured wild-eyed at the person in question. "You see! You see?! Even Peter agrees this isn't a good idea! There's loads that can go wrong! Horribly wrong! Disastrously wrong! And I'm Prefect, I'm supposed to keep you all in line! I – " He was abruptly cut off as James overrode him, glancing at Sirius.
"Padfoot, you ready?"
"Ready as ever, mate. Merlin, imagine Snivellus' face!" A wicked grin danced over those smooth lips. James smirked back.
"You remember what to do, right? After I transfigure you, get into the Slytherin dormitories and – "
" – and I sneak into Snape's room, discover all his secrets, and wait for him to fall asleep. Then – "
" – you come back out where we'll be hiding and waiting, I transfigure you back, you head back in with a camera – "
" – I take a few embarrassing photos while he's asleep involving whipped cream and makeup, wait for the next day, when he'll face – "
"HUMILIATION EXTREME!" They cackled in unison as Remus sank to the ground groaning with his head buried in his hands.
"Yeah…sure…what could go wrong?"
