Hey guys! Please excuse my absence. I've been spending too much time reading fanfic than writing it. Thank you ever so much for all the reviews! It really made my day!
Reviews:
Lillyflowerforever: Thanks! Sirius really is a lunatic, isn't he?
25elisabeth: Yeah, Sirius really is very pleased with himself. I'm glad you liked his version.
Spottedmist: Yep, Sirius is definitely mental!
Malfoytwin: Thanks for the requests! They really helped and they'll definitely come in somewhere. Maybe not this chapter, because this one's a tad different but definitely next chapter! And Sirius sends along his five cookies and five hugs and an extra one as thanks!
Maraudersalways: It's so fun writing Sirius on sugar! It spices up things! I think I might use a couple more of her songs, cos they do seem to suit Sirius!
Guest: I'm glad you find it fun! Remus is my favourite too!
This chapter is the one where Sirius and James start to get suspicious about Remus. Hope you enjoy!
Disclaimers: If I owned the Marauders, there would probably be a prequel out already.
J: Thanks. Thanks a lot Sirius.
S: That sounded sarcastic.
J: Well done, I knew Remus had taught you something.
S: Soooo… what are you being sarcastic for this time?
J: Sirius, do you really think that my wish that I woke up with this morning was a burning desire to get a week of detention?
S: Umm, no?
J: So, did you really think it was appropriate to start making up a song in the middle of Herbology?
S: Umm, maybe?
J: Especially when the lyrics are as stupidly childish as yours.
S: It wasn't that bad…
J: Sirius, you label "I've got my hand up a Mandrake's arse, and it's absolutely disgusting!" as not that bad?
S: Well, when you put it like that…
J: Exactly.
S: So, why are you whining about it now? What am I supposed to do about it?
J: I don't know. I just need an outlet to moan at.
S: Oh, okay. Well stop acting like Remus for a little bit, there's only so much sensibleness I can handle.
J: Speaking of Remus, he's so paranoid isn't he?
S: Yeah, like every time he gets out of the hospital wing once a month, he's always so twitchy, and comes out with more injuries than he went in with.
J: Wait a minute… repeat that first bit again.
S: Whhyyyyyyyy?
J: It doesn't matter, just do it!
S: Alright, alright. Every time he gets out of the hospital wing once a month…
J: Okay, you can stop there.
S: Hmm, James, you've got your "I'm thinking complicated thoughts, and disturb me and you're dead" face on. It's a rare one but I can still recognise it.
J: Sirius SHUT IT!
S: Alright! ….
J: Hmm.
S:… Alright I can't stay quiet for this long! I gotta do something!
J: Sirius, you were quiet for twenty seconds. Now, SHUT UP IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU!
S: Hmph…. La la la la la la la la la la la la
J: Sirius, what did I just say?
S: Well, I'm bored.
J: Nothings changed then. Anyway I've finished thinking.
S: Oh James, don't do that, it's not good for your brain to overwork.
J: Shut up. Remus is in the hospital wing once a month, correct?
S: Um, yeah I think so.
J: And Remus starts going all panicky anytime the words Full moon, werewolves, and anything about his absences and injuries are uttered, correct?
S: Um, yeah, now that I think about it, yeah he does.
J: And didn't you say sometime while we were passing notes last week, that he always seems to miss the full moon?
S: Wow, yes I did! How do you remember things like that?
J: I'm psychic.
S: Wow, really?
J: No, you dingbat. That lesson from Remus is gone already.
S: Oh. So how did you remember that then?
J: I can sometimes forget the things I should remember but I pick up on the important things.
S: Oh okay.
J: Now back to our interesting conversation about Remus… wait, hang on a minute. Injuries… full moon… once a month. OH MY GOD! How did we not see it before?
S: What? See what before?
J: Well, I could see why you wouldn't.
S: SEE WHAT?
J: Sirius, pay attention to these next few words and try and find a connection.
S: Um, okay.
J: Full moon, injuries, fur, hospital wing, absences, Remus.
S: OH MY GOD!
J: We got there in the end.
S: OH MY GOD! But… but that means that Remus is a…
J: Go on.
S: A Vampire!
J: Ugh. You really didn't pay attention when we did magical creatures in defence against the dark arts, did you? Try again, Sirius.
S: Remus is a …
J: Here's a hint: Fur.
S: Remus is a werewolf!
J: Well done.
S: But how's that possible?
J: Well, usually when someone's a werewolf, somewhere previously in their life they've been bitten by another…
S: James, I know how they can become a werewolf, I'm not stupid.
J: Really?
S: Yes I do know how you can be a werewolf. What I meant was how can this have been going on for so long and we haven't realised? We've been so… what's the word?
J: Naïve?
S: That's it. And Remus… wow, that I'd have never expected.
J: Yeah, I know, he always been the quiet one. You're the animalistic one.
S: Should we talk to him about it?
J: Yeah. Poor guy.
S: Shall we talk to him about it in history of boring, sorry I mean magic?
J: Yeah, I think we should. Don't mention anything til tomorrow, I mean we could be wrong. Or if we're right, and he gets panicky he could end up doing something stupid.
S: My kind of stupid?
J: No, the other type of stupid.
S: Oh, the dangerous type of stupid.
J: Yes, that's why we're doing it in class, so he can't try and do anything stupid.
S: Ok, gotcha.
J: And Sirius?
S: Yes, James?
J: Let's get Remus some chocolate from the kitchens on the way back.
S: Definitely.
Ok, so there's that chapter done. It's been coming for a while but I've been really nervous about it and I didn't really know how to go about it. But I'm pleased with it, I hope you lot are.
Questions: How do you want Remus to react to them finding out? How should Sirius and James go about talking to Remus about it? Please help, I'm not sure!
Please, please, please review! This'll sound really sappy, but they really mean a lot to me! Shows that this thing I'm writing is actually worth reading. Please review! And anyone who does gets a virtual slice of pizza! :) I'm not going to post again until I get up to 50 on the review count. Please I'm not far off! And it only takes 10 seconds.
Okay, hope you've all had good days and weeks and stuff! Time to go watch Bad girls the musical and eat cheese… yes again.
Bye! Love you all!
