A/N: More fun! The musical, Sirius gets over the kilt issue, Peter gets a
girlfriend, a wonderful fun prank... and hey, where'd Remus go??
Discussion in the boys' dorm revolves around their love lives... To
Bookworm2000, Antares, and Vixxy, thank you so much for your kindly
reviews! Enjoy, and Harry Potter belongs to the brilliant and talented
J.K. Rowling. Brigadoon, alas, is still not mine, though I suggest the
soundtrack. 'Tis a good musical!
Special Note: THE MASTER PRANK IS COMING IN CHAPTER 12!!!
October 1, 1978
OH MY GOD.
Lyria is brilliant. At least, I think it was her idea.
Tonight we performed the musical. It went PERFECTLY. There was just one thing that wasn't quite according to plan.
Orion didn't play Charlie.
Prongs did.
Prongs, on stage, in a kilt, singing and dancing and having a wonderful time for himself. Thank the Lord I was off-stage the first time Charlie's on stage, or I think I would have just lost it totally. As it was, I was laughing so hard I was nearly crying.
He actually did really well, even with the traditional dances and stuff. Turns out Orion's been teaching James the part on the side while pretending he was going to do it.
I am completely over "the kilt issue."
And that's the best part of the whole damn musical.
October 7, 1978
Last year, I accidentally discovered the mess you can make with a healing potion, a dungbomb, and a firework. Yesterday evening, we created a minor explosion in the Slytherin Common Room.
It fired brown gunk everywhere, and they *still* haven't gotten it all cleaned up. We were all laughing so hard under the invisibility cloak I'm surprised we made it back to Gryffindor Tower safely.
Something's weird, though. Moony vanished after dinner, and no one has any idea where he went. I'd be concerned, except I know he'd have told us if it was something major.
I actually did homework tonight, aren't you proud?
October 10, 1978
Moony mysteriously disappeared again tonight. And *now* it's starting to bother me. I mean, he shared his biggest secret with us, so what's he hiding now? It can't be that big a thing.
And, much to the delight of everyone, Wormtail asked Kylie Prewett out today. Very exciting. A major step for Peter, who is *still* entirely too shy. I think that's why he takes the form of a rat when he transforms. Prongs is a white stag because he likes to draw attention to himself, and I'm a dog because I'm just so cute and loveable. At least, that's my opinion. Remus insists I'm full of shit.
October 13, 1978
Mystery solved!
Today, we found out that Dell Greenleaf has been vanishing every time Remus does, so we waited up for him to get back.
"How's Dell?" I muttered as Remus entered.
"Good... oh, I mean... uh..." Remus blushed.
"About damn time you two get personal," James said, grinning widely. "Why didn't you tell us?"
"A gentleman doesn't kiss and tell," Remus said.
"Yeah, but I don't see any gentlemen around here," I countered.
"And did you just expect me to just divulge this information? When, on the way to Transfiguration or something? 'By the way, guys, I slept with Lyndell last night?' Come off it." He tried to look disapproving but couldn't hide a smile.
"Good for you two." I clapped him on the shoulder. "She's a good kid."
"You and Lyria have... well... have you?" James asked suddenly.
"I wasn't much up to making a public service announcement either. And you certainly didn't."
"That's because we... we haven't," James muttered.
"You haven't? I thought you two had been at it for ages!" Peter gaped.
"It was just kind of assumed from how you two act." Remus also looked surprised.
Suddenly James jumped out of bed. "Wait a minute. I've been dating Lyria longer than either of you have been dating your girlfriends, and I'm the only one of the three of us who hasn't?"
"Well... I guess it sucks to be you, then." I grinned. "So is *that* why you're going to ask her to marry you?"
"No! That's got nothing to do with it. I love her, and she loves me, but we... well... I don't believe you both have..." James was turning a shade of red to rival our Quidditch robes.
I laughed, rolled over, and went back to sleep, leaving a much discomfited James to his thoughts.
