Again, very random, very irrelevant to anything, but I just enjoy writing them all so much. Kind of sorry I don't seem to have any very good Peter moments in this series, but his character is really stinking hard to write for. If you guys have any suggestions of moments you'd like me to do, give me a sign.
James, Sirius, and Peter deciding to become animagus:
They were all sat around, lounging under their favorite tree. Professor Sprout was crossing the green in the distance, giving them all suspicious looks, but unbelievably the four boys weren't up to anything too bad in that moment. The teachers were far too used to seeing this set out on the grounds more than in the actual castle, so she made no move towards them but kept heading in her original direction.
Remus was currently taking a light nap, just out of reach of the shade and soaking up the sun, with his hands tossed behind his head and snoring lightly. James and Sirius were arguing in the actual shade, over a book of all things; an Advanced Guide to Transfiguration between them. If one were to walk past though, all they would have seen was Quidditch Through the Ages, so no one looked twice at the squabble. Peter was a few feet away from the group, tossing rocks into the lake, and occasionally tossing in a comment to pre said argument, though he was mostly on look out as he would occasionally get up and stretch, pacing a few lengths away from the water. It had been his observation noticing there Herbology teacher in the first place.
It was all quite peaceful in nature, but the underlying mood of the group wasn't quite matching. The next full moon was tomorrow night, and they wondered if they might not have found their solution to helping their friend, but the logistics of it weren't exactly working in their favor. There was a reason after all this type of thing was monitored and registered under the Ministry. The more the group dug the more problems they found of what could go wrong if they messed this up. This had hardly ever deterred them before, but it wasn't something they were prepared to take lightly on this matter. They were currently doing some rather advanced studying on one branch of Transfiguration, and seemed limited on their options since the Hogwarts library didn't exactly give explicit details and instructions on what they were looking for, 'that would be like the school helping them break law's' according to Peter.
With the school year ending soon, they finally came to the conclusion they would have to look more into the matter during the summer, since one of the requirements they had found seemed to consist of them holding the leaf of a mandrake in their mouth for an entire month.
