This takes place Marauder Era, sixth year, with, of course, Esmeralda Lupin. She hasn't quite gotten over her break up with Sirius - for more on that read "Esmeralda Lupin" (second chapter specifically)
Don't trash Peter! He just got twisted as an adult!

Slam.
"What was that?" James said, looking up from his game of chess with Sirius.
Sirius shrugged, "Sounded like the door closing." Esmeralda smirked, "Thanks captain obvious."
Sirius groaned and looked back at Esmeralda with puppy-dog eyes, "Come on pretty little Lupin…" he simpered, "It's been a year, and you've already broken up with Severus – see, I can play nice, I said his actual name, see! I keep telling you it wasn't my fault! The girl kissed me, okay!"
"Shut up Black, I'm playing nice too; I've returned to the Gryffindor Common Room haven't I?"
Remus smiled at his fourteen-year old cousin. Being friends with the Marauders definitely rubbed off on her, "And Padfoot, don't call her 'pretty little Lupin' or else I might think you're talking to me. Or I could just knee you in the balls now for flirting with her after you cheated on her…"
Sirius sighed, "Whatever. Is Wormtail still in the bathroom?"
Just then Peter scrambled out of the bathroom. In his sixth year, he had thinned out, and after Sirius and James adjusted his Muggle wardrobe, he was starting to be rather attractive in the eyes of both witches and Muggle women alike.
"Sorry guys, my zipper was stuck." But unfortunately, he was still a bit awkward. "When's dinner?"
James just cornered Sirius's king, "How about now? It'll be starting soon."
Sirius stood up with a stretch, "Alright mate, I'm hungry." He gets up and goes over to the door, but it won't open. "What the hell…?"
Remus walked over to the door, muttered "Alohomora" among other spells. Confusion came into his eyes, "We're trapped."
"What? Esmeralda hurried over, and fumbled with the knob, "I can't believe this…"
She pounded on the door and yelled, "HELLO?! ANYONE? LILY!" She kept pounding her fists until they were red, "Oh my Godric, they've all gone to dinner already!"
Remus had gone pale, "What the hell is going on!? Wait – Esmeralda, do you remember that spell – for the patronus, and making it send messages?"
Esmeralda pulled out her wand, and did the spell silently. A silver fox appeared in front of her and looked at her expectantly.
"Go, you know what to do." Esmeralda told it, and it ran through the door. She then waited a few minutes, and held her wand up to her mouth. When she spoke, it echoed slightly throughout the room.
