Aug 10th, Summer Before 5th Year

The Second Pact

"I, James Potter, call to order this, the thirty-eighth official meeting of the Marauders-"

"Minus Moony…"

"Yes, but fear not Messr Grim, he will arrive tomorrow, and now that Peter's got it he'll never have to be alone for another transformation again!"

"Messr Peter Pettigrew is happy that we will finally get to show Remus our forms."

"I, James Potter, only wish we can think up adequate names for a rat and stag in time."

"Messr Sirius Black refuses to be referred to as 'Grim', and suggests we allow Messr Moony to name us."

"I, James Potter, believe Grim to be an excellent name, but must agree that Moony should name Peter and myself."

"But a Grim is a bringer of death! I'm not a bringer of death! I'm a bringer of sex."

"Messr James Potter shouldn't have to remind Messr Sirius Black that he is as virginal as the rest of us."

"Not for long! Marlene McKinnon kissed me on the platform; I am so getting laid this year."

"I, Peter Pettigrew, wish a girl, any girl, would kiss me."

"I, James Potter wish Lily Evans would even smile in my general direction."

"Messr Sirius Black wonders why Messr James Potter will not give up on the prude flower, and kiss that lovely Hufflepuff Alice, who was eyeing him up last year."

"I, James Potter shall remind Messr Sirius Black that Frank of the most unfortunate last name called dibs on her in April, and he is the most frightening beater Gryffindor has seen since the Prewitt Twins left before we were mere firstlings."

"Do I, Messr Sirius Black, REALLY need to remind Messr James Potter that I am also a frightening beater after having tried out last year?"

"Messr James Potter is not insulting Messr Sirius Blacks' skills as a beater, but merely remarking that Messr Sirius Black was not a beater until 4th year, and Frank of the most unfortunate last name has been a beater since his 2nd."

"Only because he was the only person to try for the position."

"I, Peter Pettigrew, am wondering as to the point of this meeting…"

"Ah… right. Meeting adjourned."

Aug 11th, Summer Before 5th Year

"Moony! You're here!" Sirius exclaimed.

"Come upstairs mate, we have something of the utmost importance to show you." James urged.

"Moony? Why do you call him Moony?" Mr. Potter inquired.

"Well um," Peter spilled, "you see in 3rd year we dared him to moon-"

"Ahem! Messr. Pettigrew, first pact…" Sirius warned.

"Oh! Um… but you can't! It's the summer." Peter tried.

"They'll just think it was one of my parents." James smirked.

"But.. but Moony didn't get detention!"

"Hmm, this is true." James agreed "Hagrid has a strange sense of humor."

"I don't think I want to know." Mr. Potter sighed, and walked away.

"Congratulations Messr. Peter Pettigrew, you seem to have found a hole in the first pact, very rat like, we should fix that." Sirius noted.

"Oh! Speaking of rats…" James mentioned, "Moony, upstairs, now."

"I, James Potter, call to order this, the 39th meeting of the Marauders, in which we, the other 3 Marauders have a present for Moony, but only if he promises to never tell anyone."

"Messr. Sirius Black adds that punishment for tattling should be the mandatory shrinking of bits, along with having a list of every person Messr. Moony has ever had sexual thoughts about being printed on his face."

"Messr. Moony will reluctantly agree so long as the hole in the first pact be fixed first."

"Messr Pettigrew suggests that the punishment be 1 hour if no detention is being served."

"Messr. Black believes Messr Pettigrew is attempting to get out of lengthly punishment, and proposes a term of 1 month."

"Messr James Potter believes Messr Sirius Black is being overly harsh and suggests a compromise of 2 weeks."

"Messr Moony believes 2 weeks to be an adequate amount of time."

"Messr Sirius Black is outnumbered and must agree."

"Messr Pettigrew will submit to his punishment."

James pointed his wand at Peters bits and cast the shrinking charm.

"Now that we have served punishment, and amended the first pact, I, James Potter, suggest Messr Moony sign this magically binding document."

The agreement read as such. I, Messr Remus 'Moony' Lupin, hereby agree to never disclose the information about to be presented before this documents incineration, to anyone, on punishment of having my bits shrunk, and a list of every person I have ever had sexual thoughts about, at the time of my breach of contract, printed to my face for a period of 1 year.

Remus signed the document and then questioned "1 year? This better be important."

"Messr Sirius Black would like to inform Messr Moony that it is very important, for if we were found out we could go to Azkaban."

"Oh shit, guys, what did you do?"

"Messr James Potter would like to congratulate Messr Sirius Black on his achieving a third point in the making Messr Moony swear game."

"Yeah, what's that now? Six times he's ever sworn?" Peter asked.

"Messr Sirius Black would like to remind Messr Pettigrew that no, Messr Moony has sworn seven times. Once when Messr Peter Pettigrew informed him that we knew of certain furry problems, twice when we dared him to moon Hagrid, once when Messr James Potter got bludgeoned off his broomsti-"

"Messr Moony believes this recounting of his slow corruption to be fascinating and all that, but kindly asks Messr's James, Sirius, and Peter to get to the point."

"But of course! I, Messr James Potter would like to inform Messr Remus "Moony" Lupin, that Messr's Black, Pettigrew, and myself have all become animagi, for the purposes of being safely with Messr Moony on full moons."

Remus' mouth fell open, and Sirius turned into a large black dog, James into a mighty stag with still growing antlers, and Peter, with a small amount of struggle, into a small grey rat. The amount of emotion must have been too much, because Remus' eyes were quickly filling with tears; he sniffled, and then sobbed, and was soon unabashedly crying.

They all turned back and Sirius wrapped an arm around Remus' shoulder. James lit his wand tip and incinerated the document binding Remus to it.

"Now," Sirius said "You have to name us, it's only fair that we named you and made you Moony, so now you name us, and whatever you choose our names to be, we must agree to."

"Messr James Potter thinks Sirius should be called Grim."

"Messr Sirius Black thinks that is a horrid name and trusts Messr Moony to pick something better."

"Messr Moony believes Messr James to have Prongs sticking out of his head, and shall henceforth refer to James as such. Messr Peter's tail looks like a worm, so I dub thee Wormtail. However Messr Moony thinks Grim is a fine name for Messr Sirius, but he shall give Messr Sirius the alternative option of Padfoot, to ever remind him of the time he stepped on Marlene McKinnon's thankfully, unused, lady toiletries."

"Messr Sirius Black will cringingly accept the name Padfoot, because, well, my dog feet are kind of padded."

"Messr Prongs believes Messr Padfoot must really not like the name Grim."

"Messr Padfoot must correct Messr Prongs, in that he does not merely dislike "Grim" but rather he hates it!"

"Messr Wormtail must ask why Messr Padfoot hates Grim's so much."

"Messr Padfoot will inform all that it is because his mother saw a Grim three years ago and hasn't kicked the bucket yet. Bloody dog won't do its job."

"Messr Prongs would like to sympathize with Messr Padfoot."

"Messr Moony must now inform Messrs Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs, that he has been named Prefect this year, and believes he should be exempted from the first pact so he might be able to do his duties."

"Messr Prongs has heard Messr Moony's plea, but must deny, a tattle on your fellow Marauders is a grave offense, and under no circumstances shall you be exempted from the first pact."

"Messr Moony is disappointed in Messr Prongs' decision for now he will disappoint the professors."

"Messr Padfoot then suggests that Messr Moony tattle extra well on the misdeeds of others, but exempt Marauderly Mischief from his Prefectly Duties."

"Meeting adjourned." Proclaimed Messr Prongs.
