Charms

Seventh Year

I've got an idea, guys!

If you're planning on stealing Slughorn's wig again, please remember that you are Head Boy! Besides, Lily won't like it.

I'm not planning that, Remus! I'd never repeat a prank, it's not my style. And maybe she'd like it, how do you know? She's my girlfriend, after all.

Really!? What a surprise! I, for one, didn't know that! It's not like you haven't been declaring it every five minutes for the past few months!

I have not!

Yes you have! Remember when-

Anyway! I think we should join the war!

Of course we'll join the war, Prongs!

No doubt about it! There's a reason why I got kicked out of home!

Sirius, you ran away from home.

And you had to ruin my dramatic moment? In any case, we're going to fight, Prongs! Definitely!

No! I meant we should join the war now!

Um, Prongs, we're sort of in the middle of Charms right now.

Yeah, it would be a bit eccentric to jump in the middle of class and start firing curses everywhere.

On the contrary, it would be awesome! On the count of three?

Not exactly my plan, but why not! Awesome idea, Remus!

One, you're fighting Death Eaters, not Teachers.

What's the difference?

Shh, Sirius! Secondly, you are Head Boy!

And Lily won't like it!

Yes, I know! But there are more important things!

Oh wait till I tell her you said that!

No! No! Don't you dare Padfoot! Don't you dare!

You just wait! And be prepared for another punch! This is priceless!

Sirius! I've waited six years to be with her! Please don't ruin this for me!

Technically, James you ruined it yourself.

Oh this will be fun!

Sirius, please! I promise I'll never ask you for anything ever again!

Tempting. But it's time for revenge! You ruined all my dates, now I'm going to ruin yours.

Padfoot please don't do this.

Remember that time he put up wanted posters of you all over Hogsmeade?

Peter you are not helping!

That was the worst prank ever! My date practically ran away!

She was probably just looking for an excuse to get away from you and your bad breath.

I don't have bad breath! My breath is awesome, I'll have you know!

Going back to James' idea, we absolutely cannot skip school.

We are the Marauders, there's nothing we can't do!

So what are we waiting for? Let's leave already!

I'm with Remus! We only have a few months of school in any case!

Four months, Wormtail! A lot can happen in that time!

Four students joining the war won't make that much of a difference.

We could lead a whole group of students! The whole school!

Lily will kill you!

I know that, but I think preventing Death Eaters from taking over is a little more important.

Just a reminder, she's seeing this after Charms.

How about this: how will she feel if you abandon her and everyone else who cares about you on a stupid mission to prove yourself when something could happen to you! You could get killed or worse!

I didn't think of it like that.

So Prongsie can stay with Lily-flower. We can still go!

You wouldn't last five minutes without me.

You wouldn't last five seconds in school without me.

Therefore, to ensure you both last much longer, we're all staying put until we've given our NEWTs.

Great! Besides, it would probably be a bit weird if you both drop dead within five minutes of each other. And no one would be able to fill your position of Head Boy!

Don't remind me!

Jamesie is Head Boy! Or rather, Jamesie is a Big Head Brat!

SHUT UP!

A/N: What did you think? Looks like James is in trouble with Lily! Also, we apologize for all that foreshadowing. Give yourself a high five from us if you noticed it, though!

Anyway, I know we haven't posted in some time! We just finished our AS exams and went through two months of absolute torture while waiting for our results, though admittedly the only reason we didn't post during the holidays was because we were lazy!

But don't worry, we're writing loads of more stories that we hope you'd enjoy!

Let us know what you think! Reviews and criticisms are really appreciated!
