---------- {Time Change}
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ {Scene Change, if you hadn't guessed already!}
~*~**************~*~
There was a smirk on Snape's face like on one had ever seen before. Those pale colored lips almost punctured into his face, he wrinkled his nose idly. He was watching the doors for James and Sirius, knowing they'd make their appearance sooner or later.
It was actually only minutes later that Remus entered the classroom first, books in hand as he stumbled toward his desk.
"What are you, drunk or something, Lupin?" Snape couldn't help but snigger. It was an odd sound since it was almost never heard.
Remus sneered in Snape's direction, eyes narrowing rather badly. "Oh be quiet you scum..."
Snape cocked his head in the other boy's direction, arms crossing over his chest. He stood from his seat, robes and all gliding over toward the Gryffindor boy. "Where's James and Sirius?"
Remus lifted a brow questioningly. "Why do -you- care?" He began to shifting through his book, digits floating over musty pages. "Not like they want you to know anyway."
Snape's smirk was replaced by furrowed brows and narrow eyes. "You don't need to know why, and I'm quite sure they'd care," he stated with a hiss. He reached down and closed Remus' book over the boy's hand, his smirk crawling back onto his face. He just walked off, leaving Remus to curse silently.
"They'd better be here soon," Snape stated as he sat down once more, folding his robes around him as he turned to the front of the class. He would see if they were there at the beginning of class. Snape never heard James and Sirius walk in, perhaps since they're were too many students entering at once.
The class started as usual, Professor Avalade walking around to pick up the homework. He scoffed quite loudly as he reached Sirius' paper, having opened it up and read some of it there. He let the parchment fall to the table that Sirius and James resided in. He spoke before he left, "Mr. Black, that's unacceptable. I'll give you until tomorrow to re-do it, or you fail."
Sirius watched Professor Avalade walk off to Snape's area, a defeated sigh coming from him. James patted Sirius on the back supportively, a bit of a cough coming him. Snape's eyes were upon him, those dulled, gray eyes now beaming with mischief. He lifted a finger to his lips, a sickened laugh almost coming from him.
James glared angrily at Snape, his hand slowly releasing from Sirius' body. Sirius, whom of which wasn't even looking up from the floor. He just sighed once more, his head dropping lightly to the tabletop.
Professor Avalade smacked a parchment to his hand, causing a loud ping, the sound reverberating inside the dungeon. "Alright you all, class is starting. We're making Shrinking Solutions today. I've set out all five ingredients upon that table over there. Keep in mind, you need just the right amount. No more than one leech per potion. I've gotten just enough rats and caterpillars for all of you, partnered up, to make the potion. I've set just enough bottles of antidotes out for each pair, If you mess up or lose the antidote, you fail." With that, he waved his hand toward the table, letting the students obtain their items.
James came back to the table a few moments later, carrying in his arms some daisy roots, skinned shrivelfig pieces, a caterpillar, a rat and a leech. He shuddered a little as he set the items on the table, shaking his head a little. "Ugh...That's so gross..."
Sirius looked up to James with a small laugh. "Hmm? Couldn't take it or such?" His eyes gazed over the items they needed.
"Well...It's gross..." James' stated, a shiver laced through his words. He pointed to the dead rat and the leech. "You can get the spleen and the juice, I'll stick with the caterpillar and daisy roots..."
Sirius was about to shake his head but he stopped himself. "If it's what you want, Jamie; to stick me with all the hard work..."
"But I thought you were a rugged, tough man now?" James asked with a smile, arms crossing over his chest. "Didn't you say you were earlier?"
"Pulling that out, are we?" Sirius asked, pulling his wand from his robes. He turned toward the rat, a light shiver flowing through his body. He looked back to James and then smiled sweetly. "I guess I can handle it..."
"Good," James said, a light laugh following. He was quite sure Sirius would get him back for this, but he wasn't in much of a mood to care. He began to chop up the daisy roots while he heard Sirius' light groans as he sliced open the rat and obtained the spleen.
-----------------------
As James inserted the chopped daisy roots into their cauldron, he was bumped from behind. He thought at first it was Sirius. His eyes turned over to look in the other's direction, and oddly enough...There he was. James scratched his head and blinked a few times. Sirius had began to redo his assignment...But who was it that bumped him?
His eyes shot over in Snape's table's direction. There Snape was, a smile on his face. It was sickening. James was confused now...He wanted to know who bumped him. Raising a hand to his head, he sighed deeply. He now had to worry about Snape, Lily, their potion, and this person who bumped him...
Sirius heard James' anguished sigh, and his eyes peered upward toward him. "James? You doing alright?" He pushed his chair back standing up with a small yawn.
James just nodded a bit. "I'll be fine. Just...Can I help you with your homework?" He wanted his mind off of all the things that were bothering him. He turned to look over their finished potion. At least he was competent enough to get the potion finished.
Just as James was about to touch the parchment, he heard Professor Avalade's booming voice. "Alright, you've been given enough time, I'm going to check your potions."
James and Sirius both knew they'd be picked on...They always were. They waited silently until the older man strided over to their table, gesturing for James to stand. The boy blinked a few times, but he did what he was questioned of.
"Take your potion," Professor Avalade stated bluntly. He crossed his thin arms over his robed chest, whipping his head back for a moment to remove some stray hairs from his face. James paused, gawking at the potion.
"You heard me Potter, test it."
James wasn't too sure he wanted to shrink...He wondered if he just drank a little if he'd only lessen in height a few inches. He didn't much remember his romps in 2nd year with the potion. "R-right...Professor."
Taking ahold of a small ladle, James dipped the utensil into the cauldron, a bit of a apprehensive sigh making way past his lips. He lifted the newly filled ladle to his mouth, tipping his head back and drinking a tiny bit of the potion.
Within seconds James felt the changes begin. His bones make a small cracking sound as he felt his arms decrease in length just slightly, legs following suit. His nose pushed in a bit, his glasses falling down until they barely hung on. He felt a change in his throat, and as soon as he went to speak, his voice squeaked.
The dungeon filled with girlish giggles and sniggers from boys alike. James was now only the age of 10, the potion had done its work. His voice was much higher than his original voice, and as he cleared his throat, he looked up to Professor Avalade with suprisingly light brown eyes. "C-can I have the a-antidote now, Professor?"
The old man lifted an arm to silence all the students, eyes peering down to the shortened Potter. "You pass, but barely." He looked to Sirius with a bit of a derisive, sharp sigh. "Black, give him the antidote."
Sirius nodded weakly, his hand reaching down to the antidote's location. His eyes went wide. He turned to where the antidote was supposed to be, a set of blinks following. He looked frantically around the table, finding it near James. "It's...beside James, Professor...But I put it right here..." He shook his head in disbelief as how a bottle could move itself like that...
James peered just barely over the table, eyeing the antidote. He reached for it with a small grunt, only to make it dance a bit. He groaned a little and jumped once more, finally grasping ahold of it. He stared at the bottle for a moment before going to remove the cork. He was expecting some kind of fight, seeing as he was a good years less in age, and his strength must have decreased. But, to James' surprise, the cork popped off rather easily.
He lifted the cold glass to his lips, the icy, tasteless liquid sliding down his throat. Moments after the liquid was ingested, James felt his bones regrow to normal length, his nose growing back out to his normal form, his glasses were just barely fitting of his face now, ears pulled forward because of how it far down his nose they were. He cleared his throat a couple times, wrinkling his nose to reset his glasses. He felt a strange sensation in his body...Hard to explain really.
"Professor, you're not honestly going to let Potter get away with passing are you? His potion was weak, he only de-aged a couple of years!" It was Snape's disagreeable voice once more, but once he finished speaking, he looked at James with a questioning face.
James' eyes met with Sirius just for a moment, but he noticed him in an all new light. James blinked once or twice, his neck craning back a bit as he kept his gaze with Snape's. Professor Avalade's voice broke his stare.
"Alright, now...We've seen what these potions can do, tomorrow we're doing just the reverse, you're making the antidotes. If you fail to make it properly, your punishment is staying the way your potion formed you to be for the rest of the class. I'll change you back once class ends."
All the students released a collective groan, but were quickly hushed. "You're released for now, go on to lunch."
As the students began to pick up their books and parchments, both Peter and Remus made their way over to James and Sirius' table. Lily was chatting with some of her friends, but she waved goodbye to them, hurriedly walking over to the Marauder boys.
"Hey!" she stated warmly, grasping ahold of James' arm. She nuzzled against him idly, a small smile on her face. She blinked once she noticed James not even move. "...Jamie?"
James' eyes were on someone else now. He sighed dreamily, quickly shaking his arm to get Lily off of him.
Sirius blinked a few times, now becoming rather worried. "James? You alright there buddy?" He walked forward, setting a hand on the boy's shoulder, only to find it slapped away.
Snape was talking to Professor Avalade about the Shrinking Potion they had made, and with a bit of a laugh, he crossed his arms over his chest. "Think so, Professor? How nice of you...I'll see you tomorrow." He gave the older male a wave goodbye as he left, leaving Snape at the front of the class.
"James Potter, what's up with you?" Remus asked rather rudely, grabbing ahold of the boy's robes to pull him back.
James violently shook out of Remus' hands, his form walking toward Snape. "Severus, can I eat lunch with you?"
The remaining Marauders and Lily almost all gasped in unison, looking at James with unbelieving eyes. They all thought it was a joke.
Snape wasn't even facing James, but he smirked quite accordingly. He turned around, arms still over his chest. "Honestly, Potter, what makes you think I'll eat lunch with you?" He sneered.
James continued to walk until he reached Snape, his arms snaking around one of the other boy's. "But...For me, would you, Severus?"
Sirius felt his heart wrench as he stumbled back. James was...almost clinging to Snape. Hadn't he just expressed his feelings to Sirius not even 24 hours earlier? He fell back and coughed a few times.
Remus turned to Sirius as he heard the stumbling, and his expression softened. He walked over to him and blinked a few times. "Sirius, hang on, alright?" He whispered supportingly, wrapping an arm around the newly jelly legged boy.
"Potter, would you let -go- of me?!" Snape shouted rather annoyed, pushing on James' arms to get him to let go.
"But Severus...I want to be with -you-..." He leaned up, placing a soft kiss upon Snape's cold, colorless cheek. "...Please?" He pouted out his lips, looking up to the other boy with puppy dog eyes.
Snape's lips curled into a smirk like none had ever seen. He shot his icy black eyes in Sirius' direction with a look that just beamed "Seems your unloved..."
Within moments of the gaze, Sirius growled out angrily, reaching toward the table for his wand. Just as he was about to cast a hex on Snape, Remus slapped his hand down, the table now breaking to pieces...Apparently the Jelly Legs Jinx wasn't much good against a piece of furniture. "What did you do to him, Severus?! I know you had something to do with this!" Sirius was angrily trying to get out Remus' grasp, but he wasn't doing well.
"Calm down!" Remus stated, getting a little angry. "We'll make him explain..."
Lily just stood there, the same blank expression on his face that Peter had. Snape smiled rather happily, it seemed...
"Well, if you're begging me to be with you, Potter, I guess I can't refuse a lunch date...Meet me in the..." He began to whisper in James' ear now, his smile seemingly widening. "...Alright?"
Sirius yelled angrily now and he was pulling to get out of Remus' grasp. With a regretful sigh, Remus grasped ahold of Sirius' wand, pointing it at him. The other boy fell limp in Remus' arms. "...Remus...Why...?"
"You're needing to calm down, Sirius, this was all I could think of..."
Lily finally spoke, but it wasn't anything that would make everything magically better. "James Potter! I...I...Can't believe you! You're...You're such a jerk! I can't believe I accepted that crappy apology! I...I can't believe -this-!" She was trembling so badly now, she ran out of the room, muffled cries heard. Peter chased after her, yelling her name so she'd stop, but there wasn't much luck there.
"W-w....What the...Hell did you do to him Snape?!" Sirius shouted out, barely able to keep his grasp upon Remus. "Did you poison him or something..?!"
Snape's voice was gleeming. "Close, but no A+ for you Black, young...James is just...Finally finding what he wanted. Too bad it wasn't you...I guess your little romp wasn't exactly good enough for him, now was it?" He ran a hand through James' unruled hair.
"You...Bastard!" Sirius' voice was shaking now, he was so mad. "I...James!" He tried to move to James, but all he did was get himself half-way down to the floor.
James turned his head toward Sirius with a bit of a sigh. "What do -you- want, Sirius?" It almost sounded as if he was a chore.
"James...!" Sirius was so angry, his shaking voice now grew to a shaking body. He couldn't even speak now.
Snape felt nothing short of bliss from seeing this. "If you'll excuse me, I've got to go get ready for my lunch date..."
James whined as Snape pulled him off of his arm, a small kiss being planted on the Gryffindor's cheek. He felt a finger trace over his jawline, a small smile crawling onto his face. "I'll see you later then, Severus...?"
Snape nodded, his lopsided grin was almost about to fall off his face. He walked past Sirius, a foot falling astray from him and landing in the boy's fallen body. Remus went to punch Snape, but he heard James' protest, and he turned to him. "James Potter what's gotten into you!?"
"Oh come off it Remus...You know Severus is beautiful...Lay a hand on him and I'll hurt you..." James' voice seemed possessed, both Remus and Sirius knew that Prongs would never say something like that.
James scuttled off after Snape, leaving all of his stuff behind, along with a broken-hearted Sirius and worried Remus.
The dungeon remained silent for a few moments before the faint sound of cries could be heard. Remus kneeled down, placing a gentle hand on Sirius' slumped shoulder. "I...I'll try to figure out what he did, Sirius..."
All Sirius could do was cry. He knew it wasn't like him but he had just lost the most important thing in the world to him...He wanted to get it back - Now.
'Lying here in a puddle of tears isn't going to get me James back...' Sirius thought to himself, choking back a couple tears, only to find them come back thricefold. Remus just kept his hand on Sirius' shoulder, but the other crawled into Remus' lap, a crying pile of robes and broken pieces of heart.
