When they got back to the common room, it was pretty much bustling with
student activity. After dinner was when everyone gathered to do homework
and socialize. Remus Lupin looked up from the abnormally large book he was
reading to see two of his best friends entering.
"Hey guys.where have you been?"
"McGonagall's office." James said. Remus gave him the questioning look that
James knew all to well.
"Cause' of this idiot here." He said, pointing to Sirius. Sirius grinned.
"Thanks for the compliment." He rolled his eyes. Remus didn't ask any more
questions. He was, by now, far too used the antics of his best friends.
"Where's Peter?" asked James.
"He went up to bed already.wasn't feeling too good. I think he might've had
some bad pumpkin juice at dinner."
"Say, Moony," inquired Sirius mischievously, "You're not looking to great
yourself.a little pale I think." Then, in a hushed voice, he added, "How
many more days have we got?" Remus put his finger to his lips.
"Be quiet Padfoot, the whole house is in here!"
"Well.?" Remus sighed. For a while he hadn't quite understood why Sirius so
enjoyed the once-a-month activity that revolved around him.but on the other
hand he was eternally grateful to him and James and Peter for making his
transformation so much easier, actually enjoyable.
"Three. Now don't mention it till' we get back to the dormitory!" James
rubbed his hands together with a slightly impish grin on his face.
"I was making some plans today in History of Magic, before he started being
a git," he nodded towards Sirius, "I've got a good idea I reckon, we
could."
"Save it." Remus interrupted.
"C'mon Moony, when are you gonna stop being so paranoid?" Sirius asked. "No
one can hear us, and even if they could, they wouldn't have a clue what
were talking about.everyone knows were always up to something." He said
with a grin.
"I know, its just."
"Don't worry about it mate." James said, putting a hand on Remus's
shoulder. Remus smiled half-heartedly.
" Ok, ok." He said, getting out of his seat and bagging his book. "Let's go
discuss."
"Yes!" Sirius said, a little loudly, causing Remus and James to glare.
Sirius laughed and apologized, before quickly adding, "I call dibs on
waking up Wormtail!" The others laughed and followed Sirius up the stairs
to their dormitory.
The weekend passed very quickly for the four friends. Gryffindor beat Hufflepuff in the Quidditch match on Saturday, much to the joy of everyone in the house. They were one step closer to the Quidditch Cup. A party raged in the common room all day Saturday and Sunday, but it was Monday night the Marauders were looking forward to the most. As painful as it could be at times to transform, Remus still thoroughly enjoyed the time with his friends. As they carried out James's creative and dangerous plan in Hogsmeade, Remus felt more human during his time as a wolf then he ever had before. Good God, was he thankful for his friends. The next night, once Remus was once again his everyday self and after the four had finished discussing the previous night's events, they found themselves talking about, of all things, Lily Evans.
"She is quite pretty, Prongs, I'll give you that, but doesn't she seem to be a bit.hostile?" questioned Remus.
"Well maybe she wouldn't be if certain gits didn't practice hexes on her while Professor Binns has his back turned! Remus laughed, but James didn't hear him. Sirius was already protesting.
"Lay off it Prongs! I said I was sorry!"
"Yeah, yeah."
"I wish I could get a girl like Lily Evans." chimed in Peter with a dreamy look on his face. The others laughed.
"Someday, Wormtail, someday." Sirius laughed and patted Peter on the back.
"How about a girl like Felicity Robinson, Remus?" James asked with a huge grin on his face. Remus felt his face go red. He hadn't told anybody yet that he had a crush on Felicity.anybody, that is, except.
"Padfoot." Remus began, obviously trying to control some mild anger, but it was too late, Sirius was already under his covers, hiding, with a pillow over his head, shaking with laughter.
