Well, I'm really proud of this story, so I hope you enjoy it.

The first few chapters, I believe, could be better, so eventually, I'm going to get around to fixing them up, until then, the rest of the chapters, in my opinion, are brilliant! So, enjoy!

'Hey Padfoot, isn't there a Defence Against the Dark Arts essay due today?' James lazily asked his best friend Sirius (otherwise known as Padfoot) who was sitting next to him on the couch.

'I think so-' Started Sirius, but was interrupted by Remus Lupin.

'Yes there is Prongs, but I am not surprised you forgot, as I have tried to remind you all WEEK that it was due today, but you never listen, I'm also guessing that Padfoot hasn't done his essay either.' Sadly, Remus was quite correct.

'ARE YOU SERIOUS? Damn.' Replied James, not really too upset, for he knew eventually Remus would hand his essay over to him and Sirius sooner or later, whether he chooses to or not.

'No, I'M Sirius you moron! Really Prongs, I thought you were the smart one, apart from Remus who clearly, takes the tiara' Joked Sirius, ignoring the groans from his friends. How many times have they had to suffer a Sirus/serious joke, only god knows. 'And a very masculine tiara it is!' Added Sirius, after noticing the seething look from Remus.

'So... Moony, any chance of letting us take a look at your essay? For educational purposes of course' Asked James hopefully.

'Absolutely not! Not again Prongs! I tried to remind you and- Padfoot, cut the puppy eyes! I said no and I mean-'

'Pleeeeeeease Moony!' Said Sirius, looking around quickly to check that himself, Peter Pettigrew, James Potter and Remus Lupin were the only souls in the common room, before changing into his animagus form (a big black dog), and resuming his famous puppy-dog-eyed look at Remus.

'It's under my pillow.' Sighed Remus, unable to stand Sirius' puppy dog eyes. 'BUT DON'T COPY IT WORD TO WORD!' He yelled after Sirius who was already half way up the boys stair-case to retrieve the essay.

'Just curious, why is your essay under your pillow?' Piped up Peter, who had finally decided to enter the conversation after daydreaming.. and drooling.

'It's the only place they don't loo-' Remus stopped dead when he realized James was listening to his every word.

'YES!' Yelled James, 'note to self, check under Remus' pillow for the following items: My fanged frizbee, the snitch I knicked from the Quidditch suply room, Sirius' collection of Slytherin DNA to use for pollyjuice potion in the future and most likely a photo of Professor McGonagall-'

'PRONGS! That's not funny!'

'Sorry Moony mate, couldn't resist!'

'Got it!' Yelled Sirius, running down the staircase, with four copies of Remus' Defence Against the Dark Arts essay. 'But I saw the funniest thing under your pillow along with this. Would you mind, Mr Moony, telling the court, WHY, is there a photo of Professor McGonn-'

'You two are far too alike, really, it's not funny!' Said Remus, blushing while Sirius was handing out the copies of Remus' essay to his three mates, and pocketing one for himself.

'Yes it is!' Said Sirius and James together.

'And you just put a copying charm on it didn't you?' Asked Remus

'Yes, why?'

'Professor Triste won't pass all of us with the same essay!'

'Hmm.. your right!' Said Sirius, grabbing a quill and taking all four essays back, before writing four different names on the top of the page, along with four different titles.

'Oh well thats believable!' Said Remus sarcastically.

' I thought so! Thanks for the encouragement!'

'What time is it?' Asked Peter, looking at Remus.

'It's nearly 9am. You know Padfoot, Prongs, Wormtail, seeing as it is Saturday, you really should take advantage of today and write your OWN essays.'

'Hmmm... Good idea Moony! Nah, you forget, there are better things to do than study, like, not study.' Replied James.

Everyone laughed, except for Remus, who turned slightly pink, yet when he spoke, his voice remained surprisingly firm.

'I'm sick of you two doing nothing all weekend, then ask me if anything was due on Monday, when I say yes and that I reminded you three plenty of times, you reply with Moony! May we take a peak at your essay? For educational purposes of course...' Remus finished with the Sirius-est voice he could muster, which was pretty good.

'Your right Moony! I don't know why I don't listen to you more often! I should study, in fact, while I'm studying, why don't I start paying attention in class instead of passing notes to Prongs too? And respect all teachers? And become a Christian? And stop picking on Snape? And steal from the rich and give to the needy? And... Oh, but wait! I remembered why I don't listen to you more often... Because I'm SIRIUS-FUCKING-BLACK!!' Roared Sirius, not intending to insult Remus, but trying to make him see Sirius' point of view.

'That's it! I'm going to the Library, I'll see you guys later, I need a few Sirius-free hours to myself.' Said Remus standing up and walking out the portrait of the fat lady, but not before secretly summoning all four copies of his essay into his pocket.

-Five minutes and a game of exploding snap later...-

'Well, I'm bored, I wonder where Snape is...' Sirius thought out loud.

James, who was thinking the same thing, pulled out the Marauders Map and said,

'I solemnly swear that I, am up to no good.' Searching the map, James finally found Snape. 'He's in the Great Hall, EXCELLENT! So is Professor Triste, we can hand in our essays and bid our friend Snape good morning!'

'PERFECT! I love weekends!' Said Sirius.

Peter looked scared and exited at the same time, but agreed to join his friends to bid Snape good morning.

Looking a little closer to the map, James found what he was secretly looking for. Lily Evans' small dot on the map was indicating that she too, was in the great hall. This wasn't good. James has liked Lily Evans since she first stood up to the Marauders for tormenting Snape. Her fearlessness was remarkable, at four against two, she unnarmed James and helped Snape to his feet in just their 2nd year. Oh how he loved her... If she saw James tormenting Snape today, she wouldn't be happy. James nervously ran his fingers through his hair... This'll be a fun morning.

'Well, lets go then! The great hall awaits!' Called Sirius from the portrait, 'Wait a second, has anyone seen my essay? LUPIN!!!!'

Hope you liked it! I'm working on the next chapter, don't worry, it won't take me long!
