"And where were you last night?" Arianwen calld ot to Jade as she slouched into the dorm and fell oto her bed. "Forbidden forest, with Sirius."
"Oh?" Arianwen sounded interested. "What happened?"
"Nothing like what i'm guessing you're thinking." Jade leered. "he refused to leave, i refused to move. We stayed."
"Oooooooh, you two." Arianwen threw her hands up in the air. "You're awful."
"Thanks."
"Can't you see he likes you?"
"Of course." Jade rolled her eyes. "Who can't?"
"Well why don't you for once admit you like him?"
"I don't"
"You pay him more attention than anybody else." Arianwen pointed out. "You're always bantering together. Playing pranks on each other..."
"So?"
"You like him really, don't you?"
"And what if i do?" Jade suddenly was throwing her bag across the room, turning things upside down and generally creating a mess. "Where's my book?"
"What book?"
"Notebook. Songbook. That book." Jade gestured with her wand, conjuring up a picture, "This book."
"Oh, THAT book." Arianwen grinned. "Where'd you leave it?"
"If i knew i wouldn't be here would i!"
****
"SO!" James ran up to Sirius, "Did you write it?"
"Yup, included everything she'd written in notes." Sirius showed the notebook page to James.
"Padfoot!" James laughed, "Maybe you should consider a career doing this."
"Maybe."
"You gonna give it to her now?"
"NAh." Sirius put the notebook in her bag. "I have a plan."
"That's nice." Remus joined in the conversation, "Any particulars?"
"The usual, i-am-sirius-therefore-i-will-be-brash-and-generally-an-idiot kind of thing." James rolled his eyes. "What else would it be?"
"He got it covered." Sirius nodded. "Hey, full moon tonight, we going to the shack?"
"But of course." James winked at Remus. "Might have a bit of wandering around Hagrid's hut first. Scare the poor guy into thinking there's a herd of animals thundering round the grounds."
"Can you see his face? When he sees a stag hurtling past his window!!" Sirius giggled.
"Sirius, was that a giggle?" Remus raise an eyebrow at his friend
"No." Sirius said quickly.
"Sirius giggles, its a fact of his twisted existence." James shrugged, "He also snores, but we all know that seeing as we have to share a dorm with the sound."
"Tell me about it." Remus snorted
"Okay... well you see..." Sirius was cut off as James clamped a hand over his mouth to shut him up. "Mrrph mrrrrrh mpf mmmmmmmmmmm!"
"Sirius." James got him in a headlock, hand still clamped over his mouth. "I'm going to let go, and you are going to shut up.."
"MRRRRRRPH!"
"Do we take that as a good reply?" Remus grinned
"No, i dont think we will." James held his still with difficulty as Remus charmed some pillows to follow Sirius everywhere, hitting him when they could.
James let go of Sirius who pelted down the stairs, still being chased by irate pillows. The commonroom burst into laughter as Sirius tried unsuccessfully to charm the pillows to go after someone else, or just to explode away from him. He managed to miss every pillow and they were closing in on him as he ran up the other flight of stiars to the girls dorms, he opened the first unlocked door and shut the door before any of the pillows could attack him, he slumped down behind the door, which was vibrating from the pillows thumping against it, trying to reach him.
He grinned suddenly
"Well, hello." He smiled deviously at the group of girls all glaring at him. "How nice to see you all."
Jade was sitting on her bed, holding her guitar possessively in her hands. She glared at Sirius.
"What are you doing in here?" Phoenix asked, hands on hips.
"Hiding."
"Why?"
"Attack of the killer pillows." He grinned, "I dont suppose you charming ladies would consider helping such a poor innocent guy as myself."
"No, not particularly." The girls said together.
"NO!? Please?" Sirius tried the puppy dog eyes.
"Alohomora." Arianwen pointed her wand at the door, which flew open, throwing Sirius across the floor.
"Ow." He muttered from under one of the beds, "That wasn't very friendly... oh... Sh*t." His voice rose as the pillows formed a circle around him. "Remind me to poison James and Remus at some convenient moment when i dont have feather in my mouth."
"Incendio." Jade pointed her wand at one of the pillows, which spontaneously combusted inches away from Sirius' head. He coughed as he got a facefull of ash. His coughing fit was cut short by a pillow running him face on.
"C'mon people." He pleaded. The girls looked at each other, then pounced on the flying pillows.
"You know. This is more difficult than it looks." Lily exclaimed as she rugby tackled a pillow to the floor. It jerked and moved beneath her as it tried to get out to attack Sirius.
Arianwen was clinging to one, that was at the moment draging her acoss the room.
Sirius was batting them away with his hands, until there were only two left, which promptly burst as they collided with each other. Sirius had ducked out of the way and was on his way running down into the common room.
"Well." Lily looked at the mass of feathers and ash on the floor. "That was very.. sirius-esque."
****
Sirius sat at the gryffindor dinner table still picking bits of white feather out of his clothes and hair.
"Fun have?" Remus sat down next to Sirius
"Oh, yeah." Sirius snarked. "I had to enlist help."
"oh yes." Remus grinned. "i heard the girls talking about that, anyway padfoot. You coming?"
"Yeah, 'course." Sirius rose and walked out with Remus into the grounds, with a quiet pop, he transformed into a large black dog and bounded out towards wormtail and prongs.
In the shreiking shack, the marauders were kept awake by Remus' howling and many times had to restrain the werewolf from killing himself.
When the first strains of dawn light seeped through the tiny windows, Remus woke up to a roomful of animals.
"Hey guys." He muttered, nursing his scratched arm.
"mmmmrrrrrph." Sirius mumbled from his little makeshift bed in the corner. "Already?"
"We need to get back." James yawned, trying not to tread on the sleeping rat next to him.
"And have decent beds in this place."
"All part of the package i'm afraid. Rubbish bedding." Sirius stretched out. "Hey, guess what!"
"What?" Remus raised an eyebrow, preparing himself for one of Sirius' jokes.
"End of term guys!"
"Forgive me for being to tired to be enthusiastic." Remus sighed, heading down through the trapdoor.
"Someome wake up peter." James muttered
"OI!!" Sirius yelled at the rat. "WAKE UP YOU SLEEPY IDIOT."
"That wasn't very nice." Peter morphed back into human form. "I was awake anyway."
"Yeah, sure you were." Remus chuckled. "C'mon breakfast. I need to talk to Arianwen before she gets worried about me."
"Girl-whipped." Sirius coughed out as Remus disappeared below the trapdoor, James laughed at him which caused Sirius to grin. "I dunno why you're laughing, you're worse than he is... 'oh lily... thos that and the other... im so sorry, i was worried about you, oh lily'."
"Get down that trapdoor before i kick you down there." James held open the door for them before taking a last look around and disappearing himself.
