Chapter Six: Making Up
True to their word Remus and Maxis didn't talk to Sirius for about three weeks. James had to play messenger between them, and he one day got tired of it.
"Tell Sirius to pass the charts." Remus told James curtly.
"Remus says pass the charts." James turned to his right and told Sirius dryly.
"Tell him to come get them himself." Sirius said.
James rolled his eyes. "Oh give me those." He grabbed the parchment and gave it to Remus.
"James tell Maxis, that she has my quill." Said Sirius.
"Tell her yourself." James barely looked up.
"I can't she's not talking to me." Sirius said in a reasonable voice.
"He's right." Said Maxis looking at us.
James suddenly stood up and grabbed Sirius. He dragged Sirius to a couch. People in the common room looked on amused. James then repeated the same process with Remus and Maxis.
"You three, are not getting up from this couch until you start talking to each other." James stopped and glared at them "this is sick! We're all friends, I understand if you're mad but this has gone on long enough. You'll sit here until you can be civil by order of a head boy!"
I gasped; James had never used his "Authority" over any of his friends.
"Ok people out!" said Saraan doing the kinder-garden teacher thing. She clapped her hands twice and people scattered (she kind of looked like Marry Poppins). "And off the stairs! I'm not blind!" she yelled to some third years.
When they were sure everyone was gone Remus, Maxis, and Sirius started yelling at each other.
"It was a joke!" Sirius went back to his first line of defense "and we did go in after him you know."
"After you realized that Snape could have died."
"That wouldn't be a bad thing." Piped in a voice.
We turned around to see a stray first year.
"Scat!" said Less sharply.
The kid's eyes went wide and he ran from the room.
"Think you scared him." Observed Maxis.
"Yeah, but anyway Maxis I want you to turn to Sirius and say hello."
"In your dreams! He could've gotten me expelled."
"And how many times has he apologized?" I asked.
"Not enough." Said Remus.
"Sirius say I'm sorry." Said Saraan.
"I'm sorry!" yelled Sirius "I've only said a million times!"
"You could've made us murderers!" Remus glared at him.
"I wasn't thinking ok?"
"We know that." Said Maxis darkly.
"Can you just accept the fact that I made a mistake and I'm sorry?!"
"We know you made a mistake." Remus got calmer. "But it was a stupid one."
"I know I'm a total and complete idiot. I'm stupid, and a fool! I should be in one of those remedial classes. Forgive me."
Remus sighed. "Don't do this ever again. Do you understand?"
"Yes."
"What do you say Maxis should we forgive Mr. Stupid here?"
"Well now that I feel all guilty about him saying all that I have to, but there's a punishment, Dumbledore was too easy on you."
"What?" asked Sirius.
"No jokes. One week and a half."
Sirius went into a fake seizure.
"No jokes." He gasped. "Can't live with out pranks."
"It's only fair," said Less. "After what you did."
"But no, cursing Snape!" he gasped still flopping on the floor.
"You'll have to live with it. And I doubt he deserves to be cursed after all you almost killed him."
"Fine." Sirius got up. "I have to go."
"Nope," said Maxis "you don't go anywhere until the boys lock up all your prank supplies."
Sirius looked horrified. He knew Maxis had all hell in store for him for the next week and a half.
(A/N- Hi, It's me. well all our fave people are friends again. I wonder how Sirius will survive with no jokes for a week and a half. *Author thinks about torture*)
