The Marauder's Map

PETER

a/n The next scene! It's Peter's turn!!

"Why is she so upset?" James asked his best friends dejectedly. "It was only a little mistletoe.

Sirius shook his head sadly. "Prongs – mate – you just gotta accept that the school is separated into thirds: one crowd would never kiss us – that includes the teachers – one crowd is in love with you, and the other is in love with ME! And sorry mate, but Evans is in crowd number one."

As he finished his speech, Lily came storming back in, clutching a piece of parchment in her hands.

"POTTER!" she shrieked.

"You miss me?" James asked, happy once more.

"Not on your life," she hissed. "Explain this!"

She held the parchment out for them to see.

All the Marauders bunched in to see. Then all as one, they paled.

"What is it?" Lily snapped. "I know you're part of it!"

"Look, Evans," Sirius began, "Prongs here –"

"AH-HA!" she yelled. "PRONGS! The parchment says Mr Prongs, and you're calling Potter Prongs!"

The whole common room was silent.

Suddenly the bell rang, signalling the start of lunch.

Lily narrowed her eyes at them dangerously. "You're lucky that it isn't dangerous POTTER, or this … parchment will be locked in Filch's office!" She thrust the paper into his hands and stalked off, ears red.

All the Marauders stared at her back. "Wow," James finally said.

They all snorted. "Here Wormtail, you keep it," James said to Peter, giving him the map. "Meet us down at the hall, okay?"

Peter nodded, and hurried up the boy's dormitories. He went to James's trunk, and was about to put it in when he realised he had the map – all by himself.

"Um … I am up to no good," Peter said, tapping the map with his wand.

Nothing happened.

"I am up to no solemnly good?"

Nothing happened.

Peter blew his cool.

"I, PETER PETTIGREW, DEMAND TO OPEN THE MAP NOW!"

Then words began scripting onto the parchment.

Mr Wormtail would like to greet his future self.

Peter grinned.

Mr Prongs and Mr Padfoot would like to unanimously shake their heads sadly.

Looking confused, Peter bit his lip.

Mr Moony would like to question Mr Pettigrew's lack of sanity.

What did 'sanity' mean?

Mr Padfoot would like to ask if Mr Pettigrew needs to go to the hospital for some medicine since he obviously is not feeling well.

"Well, no actually, I'm hungry, but not sick," Peter said to himself.

Mr Prongs demands that Mr Pettigrew not think about his stomach right now, and focus on what a dunderhead he is.

"What does that mean?"

Before Mr Pettigrew can ask what that means, Mr Prongs will explain himself. You – Mr Pettigrew, are a dunderhead, which also translates into 'stupid'.

Mr Prongs would like to suggest that Mr Pettigrew leave the map where it belongs, and join his friends.

Mr Padfoot agrees, and would also like to mention that Mr Pettigrew should really go to extra classes for help.

Mr Moony must add to Mr Padfoot's comment. When Mr Padfoot mentioned 'help', Mr Moony is very sorry to say that Mr Pettigrew is in need of help – of many things.

Mr Prongs would like to add to Mr Moony's statement. The 'many things' suggest areas such as: 'remembering passwords, remembering that it's not always your stomach that's most important, spreading your knowledge of everything, trying not to follow Mr Padfoot's example –

Mr Padfoot must cut in right now, because following Mr Padfoot's style is a very good thing to do. But only if you're called Sirius Black.

Mr Moony raises an eyebrow to this statement, because it simply means that Mr Pettigrew should not follow Mr Padfoot's example.

Mr Padfoot would like to mention that Mr Moony is too intelligent for his own good.

Mr Moony would like to state that Mr Pettigrew should leave right now, and leave this parchment where it belongs, which belongs to Mr Prongs, or Prongs or Prongsie or –

Mr Padfoot would like to state that Mr Moony needs to sense some of his own common sense because he does not make sense!

Mr Prongs would like to mention that if there's anyone that's not making any sense, it's Mr Padfoot.

Mr Wormtail asks Mr Pettigrew to ignore this, and leave right now. Good day.

Peter slumped over in dejection. He couldn't even remember the password! Gawd, he really needed to ask James or Sirius or Remus what the password was again.

So! a little bit longer than the first chapter … what do you think?? REVIEW!
