Chapter 1: Where's my Wand
A/N: Hi guys! It's been a while. I've been working on a novel. And eating. But mostly eating. Go figure.
Disclaimer: If I owned Harry Potter, this would be a real book.
August 31- Right Before 7th Year
"PRONGS!" Sirius Black screamed, for about the fifth time that minute.
"What is it Padfoot?" James Potter asked exasperatedly, walking into Sirius room.
"I can't find my wand," Sirius announced, throwing his stuff all over the room.
"How do you lose yo-" James started, only to be cut off by Sirius, who yells, "MOONY!"
"What is it now? With how much you've been calling me, I'll never finish packing!" Remus Lupin exclaimed angrily, also stepping in the room.
"I lost my wand," Sirius says again.
"Last time I saw it was when we conjured up the snow in the backyard," Remus told him and turned to walk out of the room.
Sirius pounced on Remus, holding him down to the floor just as James edged out of the room, hoping Sirius wouldn't see.
"I won't be able to find it in the snow without a wand," Sirius said, not moving from his spot on top of Remus.
"That's your problem," Remus grunted, trying to shove Sirius off of him.
"Yeah, but you're gonna help me, aren't you Moony?" Sirius asked, resisting Remus feeble pushes to get him off.
"No Padfoot, I have to pack," Remus replied shoving harder, until Sirius finally rolled off him and onto the floor.
"Plllllleeeeeaaaaase Moony?" Sirius begged.
"No. Get a hair dryer."
"What's a bear flyer? Are we finally gonna get to fly bears? I've been begging for years, have you finally come to your senses?"
"No. It's a Muggle thing."
"Muggles fly bears? Well if that's the case, why shouldn't we?"
"No. It's a hair dryer. It's used to dry hair."
"Oh. Now will you help me find my wand?"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"You know Moony, you say no way too much."
"I know, now if you'll excuse me..." Remus responded, pushing past Sirius.
Sirius grabbed his shoulder.
"Please?"
"No, I have to pack."
"Please?"
"No."
"You do realize, arguing with me is actually going to take longer than you actually getting me the wand."
Remus looked at him for a moment before bolting out of the room, and into his own room.
Sirius stopped outside his locked door, before running back down the hall and into James room.
"Do you think you'll help me find my wand?" Sirius asks him.
"Probably not," James replies grinning.
"Please?"
"I thought Moony was helping you."
"No, he kept talking about a snare tier or something like that."
"So will you help me?"
"Don't count on it."
"But all you have to do is-" Sirius tried.
"Fine, if it'll shut you up."
Sirius shook his head up and down, nodding, with his tongue sticking out and panting like a dog.
James rolled his eyes at his friends' dog like behavior and walked outside.
"Next time, we really should get rid of the snow."
"But Prongs," Sirius said dramatically, placing his hand over his heart, "we would break our streak!"
"What streak?" James asks.
Sirius eyes widen. "Our streak of things we've done and haven't cleaned up after ourselves. We're up to 54 in a row, but have done it 337 times."
"Oh yeah." James recalled. " Actually now it's 55."
"Why? What happened? Did you make a mess?" Sirius asked eagerly, looking this way and that for a mess.
"Last time we made a mess you said it was 54, so now, it must be 55."
"You disappointed me and you did math. Prongs, are you trying to kill me?"
James rolled his eyes and turned to the snow, making it disappear. Nothing was there.
"Maybe it's in the snow," Sirius suggested, digging the snow up with his hands.
James conjured up two shovels, one for him and one for Padfoot.
The two 17 year olds began to shovel up the snow, not knowing their friend was up in his room laughing hysterically at them.
Xx
"We dug up all the snow, and still no sign if my wand! Oh where oh where can my wand be? Oh where oh where has it gone?" Sirius sang his voice terribly off key.
"It's obviously not out here!" James declared, smacking Sirius upside the head to make him stop singing.
"We should ask Moony again," Sirius said, not waiting for an answer and already running back towards the mansion.
"MOONY!" Sirius yelled, pounding on the door.
No answer.
James comes up behind Sirius and says, "I've got it. Alohmora." He tapped the door knob and the lock clicked.
Remus started muttering curses at the sound of the door clicking open.
"I want my wand!" Sirius complained like a five-year old.
"Did you check outside?" Remus asked.
"Yes." Remus opened his mouth. "Twice," Sirius added, knowing he was going to tell him to look again.
"Well, then I have no suggestions."
"I have an idea! We can accio it!" James suggested, pulling out his wand again.
"Great idea Prongs!" Sirius exclaims excitedly, clapping him on the back.
"You know, maybe that's not the best idea," Remus disagreed nervously.
They both ignore him.
"Accio Sirius' wand," James said, waving his wand.
Sirius' wand came flying out from under Remus carpet and cloncked Sirius on the head.
"Ow!" He yelped, rubbing the area in which he was hit before picking up his wand and kissing it.
"Oh how I missed you, buddy!" he cooed to it. Then something hit him, like his wand had just did, but this hurt less.
"Wait a second! You took my wand!" he accused, pointing at Remus."That's why you were acting suspicious, it all adds up! Well in the case..."
Sirius once again jumped on Remus.
Well would have.
Remus moved out of the way and he jumped on a wall.
"WHY DID YOU TAKE MY WAND?!" he shouted at Remus with a little less force then he would have a moment ago, considering his head just smashed into a wall.
For one of the rare times, Remus got a mischievous look in his eye. "I thought it would be funny, you and James digging up snow all day. I was right. It was quite hilarious."
"Couldn't you just have done it to him? Why did I have to dig up the snow too?" James complained.
"It was funnier," Remus explained shrugging.
James rolled his eyes. "Whatever. I have to pack."
"You are being forewarned, we will get you back!" Sirius warned before trudging out of the room after James.
Remus shrugged his shoulders again as Sirius shut the door. After the door is shut, he started laughing again, harder than before.
A/N: Ah. Punctuation fixed. And now it's in past tense. Much better. Reviews are nice.
