Once upon a time…
"Seriously James, you couldn't think of any other way to start a story other than 'once upon a time'!" Sirius teased.
"Shut up, Siri!"
There was an evil prince named Snivellus, and four good princes named Prongs, Padfoot, Moony, and Wormtail.
"I wouldn't exactly say Snape is 'evil'," Remus interjected, earning himself a glare from James.
Now, evil Prince Snivellus and good Prince Prongs had both fallen in love with the beautiful Princess Lily.
"Why does everyone have to be princes and princesses?" Peter asked.
"Because it's a fairytale, and besides, Mum always told me that all Girls and Boys are princes and princesses."
One day, Princess Lily was lost in the Forbidden Forest when she was attacked by a terrible monster! The monster took her back to the castle where all the princes and princesses lived and held her up.
"Who's gonna save this beautiful princess?" the monster boomed.
Evil Prince Snivellus and good Prince Prongs both stepped forward.
"After you," Prongs said, because there was no reason to save the princess before giving the evil prince the chance to embarrass himself.
Evil Prince Snivellus stepped forward and raised his wand. But all he knew how to do was cast hexes that had no effect on the monster. "My dear Lily, I have failed you!" evil Prince Snivellus cried. And with that he ran into the castle to cast himself into his bed and weep!
Brave Prince Prongs stepped forward. He knew his time had come. He grabbed his magic broomstick and flew up, plucking the beautiful Princess Lily from the monster's grasp. They landed on soft green grass as the whole castle cheered.
"Oh Prongs, my prince, you have saved me!" Princess Lily nearly fainted with joy. Then, they kissed and lived happily ever after.
The End
Remus and Sirius broke into a slow clap, while Peter clapped wildly.
"Magnificent!"
"A truly remarkable piece!"
"Seriously guys, it's my first time writing anything. Give a man a break!"
