All characters are from J.K. Rowling! I just write stuff about them :)
"And here comes Sirius." Remus had just enough time to remark drily out of the corner of his mouth to Peter, before Sirius came strutting up to them and proceeded to greet them in the new "gangsta" fashion.
"Yo, yo homeskillet! Whats crackin'?" Remus mumbled something inarticulate, embarrassed, and tried to walk away only to be jerked back by his arm into a surprisingly good impersonation of a one-armed manly hug by Sirius. Other Gryffindors in the common room laughed, Sirius basking in the glow of his popularity while Lupin gave a strange look to Peter, who was actually clapping.
The laughter dying down, the three marauders made their way to a table in the corner of the common room and sat down. Sirius gracefully swung his chair around so that he was sitting stylishly on his chair backwards, crossed arms resting on the back of the seat. Peter, seeing this, attempted to replicate this tricky maneuver, succeeding only in hitting himself in the balls with the wooden chair..
Ignoring Peter squealing and rolling on the ground, Lupin pulled up a chair and turned to face his friend. Sirius, catching the look on Remus' face, tilted his head to the side asking, "What's wrong?"
Remus sighed and ran a hand through his brown hair, leaning his chair back, "Its James." he spoke quietly, looking around in case anyone happened to be eavesdropping, "He's been up in the dormitories for the past 2 hours and...." Amber eyes locked on Sirius' as he casually jerked his head over to where Lily Evans and her friends were talking together by the fireplace.
"Oh." Peter managed to slide himself into the chair next to Sirius, "Is he..."
"Yup." Remus nodded matter-of-factly, Peter looking back and forth between them trying to catch the flow of this unspoken conversation.
Suddenly angry, Sirius slammed his fist on the table, earning a few curious glances from the other Gryffindors. "I told him to..." Whatever he was about to say gave way to a growl of frustration as Lupin looked despondently somewhere in the right corner of the ceiling. Trying to see what he was looking at, Peter put his head right next to his and kept looking from where he was staring back to Remus himself.
A few moments passed silently, the three boys brooding silently in the corner before Sirius slipped out of his chair and trotted up the stairs to the boy's dormitories.
Peter looked at Remus, "Where's he off to?"
