A/n:This is a series of drabbles about the marauders and Lily Evans,
etc. I came up with this when my friend and I went to build a bear
workshop.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter
Why aren't there any deer?
It was a warm October day. It also happened to be Halloween. Being the
mature 19 year olds they were, best friends James Potter and Sirius
Black were at build a bear workshop picking out the perfect animals.
The plan was for Sirius to get a black dog and name it Padfoot and for
James to get a deer and name it Prongs.
Sirius found his dog, and was currently at the stuffing station. He
found it hilarious that all you had to do was step on a pedal and
stick a tube in it's stomach and it started filling with fluff.
James was having a problem. There were no deer! He told Sirius of his
problem when he was fluffing his dog's fur. Sirius checked for other
people and said, "James, you stupid grindylow, use magic!"
James replied, "But the muggles!"
"Grab a bunny or something, go somewhere no one can see you, and turn
it into a stag."
"Fine."
James then grabbed a watercolor bunny (a/n: that's what I got! I
named it lily! My friend got a brown bunny and names it hestia! We are
obsessed, we know.) and he went to a corner of the store and changed
the bunny into a stag. He liked it. He went to the stuffing station,
then after his stag was filled, he fluffed up the fur. He then joined
Sirius who was currently picking an outfit out for his dog.
He snickered and said, "Siriusly? I thought clothes shopping was for
girls."
Sirius replied, "I bet Lily would be very pleased to hear that. Also,
aren't you the one picking out clothes for your new friend as well in
build a bear workshop of all places?"
James ignored this and continued searching for an appropriate outfit
for his stag. He finally settled on the tuxedo, while Sirius decided
on a t-shirt and swim shorts.
"Why are you getting it a tux?" Sirius asked.
James replied, "Well, Prongs has to match his bride doesn't he?" and
he produced a doe from behind his back wearing a wedding dress.
Sirius was speechless. He was so shocked that his best mate would sink
so low as to get matching stuffed animals for he and his wife.
James was laughing at Sirius' reaction.
Sirius finally recovered enough to say, "How did you get that when I
was beside you almost the entire time?"
James winked and said, "Magic."
They then went to the adoption center and named their animals. James
decided to name the doe Bambi.
They went to the counter and paid. They had the foresight to get
muggle money for the trip.
After they left with Padfoot, Pronga, and Bambi in boxes along with
adoption certificates, they apparated back to James' house. A furious
Lily awaited them.
"Where on earth have you been?" she asked.
"New York City.", James replied.
Lily said, "Why?"
"We went to build a bear workshop! I got a dog, prongs got a stag, and
he got you a doe. The stag and doe are wearing a tux and a wedding
dress!"
Lily stared at them. James took the doe out of the box and handed it
to Lily. She giggled at it. James then took the stag out of the box
and hugged it. Sirius seized both the stag and the doe and pretended
to make them kiss. He had his little dog pretend to be laughing. Lily
grabbed the stag and doe back and turned to James.
"What did you name them?" she asked.
"This is Prongs, that's Bambi, and Sirius named his Padfoot."
She snorted. "Figures." she said.
She went started to go into the kitchen to make dinner when she
paused, "Why were you at build a bear workshop?"
"We heard muggle children talking about it, so we decided to go. We
couldn't find any in England so we went to America. Americans have
everything." Sirius said.
Lily rolled her eyes and went into the kitchen.
Sirius and James sat on the couch and waited for dinner to be ready.
They started having Padfoot and Prongs play tag with each other. Remus
and Peter walked into the room, took one look at the two(or in this
case four) on the couch playing, and Remus said,"I don't want to know."
Sirius simply said,"What, are you to cool for build a bear workshop?
No. Build a bear workshop is to cool for you. So is New York City and
America."
Sirius, James, Padfoot and Prongs continued with their game.
Remus and Peter went into the kitchen and saw Lily stirring a pot and
hugging a stuffed animal.
Peter and Remus turned to each other and said at the same time, "Has
everyone gone mad?".
Lily and, James and Sirius, who heard from the couch, laughed.
The next day, there was a wolf and a rat in Remus and Peters arms
respectively. The wolf was named moony and the rat wormtail.
The stuffed animals frequently had playdates while their human
counterparts did as well.
They decided to go to build a bear workshop every Halloween to pick
out a new outfit for their animals.
THE END
A/n:I went to build a bear with my best friend and she was going to
get a dog and name it padfoot and I was going to get a deer and name
it prongs but they didn't have any deer so we both got bunnies and
named them Lily and Hestia. Thanks for reading! Hopefully the next one
will be up soon!
