Hairy Snout, Human Heart

By Lupin's Angel



A/N: I keep forgetting these!

Disclaimer: I do not own the Marauders, Lily, Severus or such. They're all J.K Rowling's so there's no use suing me 'cause all you'll get in my HP magnet collection that doesn't have Remus anyhow so :P~

Claimer: I DO own Gwen and I'm borrowing Professor Greenleaf (Who will be in a future chapter).

Flame policy: Any and all flames will be sent to my Dementor that hides under my bed and loves giving kisses.

James was already back in the Common Room when the three got back. He had a small crowd of third and second years around him, listening intently like he was telling a bedtime story. When they got near enough, Remus, Gwen and Lily could all tell he was making up half of it.

"So there I was about to beat the bloody brains out of that snake, when suddenly he threw a left at me, which I quickly ducked. Then, two of the fairies flew down and picked him up by the ears, so while he was trying to beat them down, I punched him right in the nose. Oh there was blood going everywhere!" A few of the second year girls squealed. "Then I heard Gwen yelling for me to stop, and while I was looking away, that git went and punched me right in the eye!"

"And you shouldn't have even thrown the first punch, James," interrupted Lily. James looked around and smiled.

"Lily darling. Smashing to see you!" replied James.

"James… Go to bed before I sent you there with a few curses as well," said Gwen. There was a bunch of "Ooooooos" from the entering fourth years.

"Very well Gwen. But you must admit I beat the pulp out of Snape," replied James.

"Whatever you want to say James," said Gwen.

"Well there are worse rumors than me beating up Snape going around and they happen to be about you!" said James. "But since you don't want to seem to know, I might be talked into telling you later." And with that, James ran up the stairs to the boys' dormitories.

"He can be so bloody annoying sometimes," commented Gwen.

Lily yawned. "Well I'll see you tomorrow Remus. Let's go to bed, Guinivere." Gwen slowly followed her and then stopped at the base of the steps.

"Well… I had… an enjoyable time tonight, and I hope you're glad you came with," said Gwen. She then went after Lily quickly.

Remus laughed to himself. Sometimes even the girls could surprise him. He walked up the staircase to the Fifth Year Boys' dormitory. Sirius and Peter weren't back yet and James hadn't fallen asleep.

"So do you want to know what the rumor about school is? Or would you prefer to hear it over breakfast tomorrow from all the Slytherins?" asked James with his usual grin. "I'm also wondering if it may not be true…"

"Just tell me so I can go to bed Prongs," replied Remus and went over to change for bed.

"The rumor is…" Said James like he was some gossiping girl. "That two of the Marauders are going out."

Remus looked confused. "It's been going around that you and Gwen have been going out since second year and you are just now figuring that out?"

"No no… not me and Gwen," said James.

"If it's anything to do with me going out with Padfoot, that is completely FALSE!" replied Remus. James laughed.

"Gah! No Moony!" Exclaimed James. "Put them together…"

"Ew… I hope you and Padfoot aren't going out. Lily wouldn't like it much!"

James made an odd face. "Think Moony!"

"You're nice and all Prongs, but you're not my type… Well close but not close enough…" Remus sighed. "Perhaps I can wish for that one…"

"Why wish? If I must be trueful… I think all you have to do is go find her tomorrow," said James. "Night Moony."
