In fact I wont, I want to continue it till they graduate! Maybe even longer.it depends on the # of reviews, so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE review!!!!!!!!!
"D-do you know?" Remus asked quietly his voice quivering a little.
"Yes," James said.
"I s-see, well you c-could go to D-dombledore and tell him that you w-want a new room, I-i'll understand. I m-mean not many people like to sleep in the same room as a warewo-" Remus said looking down, trying not to think about how much he would miss his friends.
"Will you shut up already," Sirius cut him off, "we're not planning to get away from you."
Remus slowly looked up with a bewildered expression on his face.
"How could you think we'll stop being your friend just because of something you have no control over?" Sirius went on trying to ignore the fact that Remus was staring at him with wide eyes.
"B-but aren't you afraid?" Remus asked.
"AFRAID!!!!!!!! How could you even say that word in a sentence that involves me?????!!!!!! Have you ever even seen me being afraid before????" Sirius put his right hand on his heart pretending to be deeply insulted.
"Oh come on Remus, you didn't actually think we could dump our best friend just because he turns into a wicked monster once a month?" James smiled making his way to sit next to him on his bed, " Seriously, though it's not your fault and it's actually pretty cool, cuz see I finally achieved my goal of having cooler years in Hogwarts than dad, don't think any of his friends got to turn into a werewolf. Oooh dad is gonna be so jealous too bad I can't tell him!"
"So you guys really think it's cool?" Remus said hanging his head down a little so they wouldn't see the tears in his eyes.
"Of course! Think of all the possibilities, you could go bite off Snape's wand arm the next time he pisses you off," Sirius said smirking, but then put his hands up as in to give up when he saw Remus' horrified expression, "just joking! Jeez I sure hope not all Werewolves are this humorless, otherwise they'll soon be called borewolfes instead. I'M KIDDING!"
"If Sirius is ready to calm down and get serious, we have to tell you something that'll bring up your mood," James said motioning for the other two to get on Remus' bed.
Sirius threw himself on the bed, causing a few "ouches", but Peter slowly sat on the other side of James, he had been a little scared when he had learned about Remus' secret, but he remembered the time when Rosier and Wilks were throwing his wand back and forth, and wouldn't give it back until Remus arrived and disarmed them both before they even noticed that he was there. With that memory he decided that Remus might be strong, but he would always protect him, something he seriously needed.
"Well you see Remus, we did a little bit of research on our own, and realized that werewolves are only dangerous to humans and not to animals," James began, grinning at Remus who look uncertain, as if he couldn't see where all this was going.
"And suddenly we remembered that wizards could turn into animals, at will, because my mom is a spy for the ministry and so she is an animagus," Sirius continued, "well we three decided that we're going to not only be there for you when your not a werewolf, but also when you turn into one by transforming into different animals."
"What? But isn't that like against the law or something? I thought we had to have to be a certain age and register and everything!" Remus said not sure his hearing was all right.
"Who cares, we could still become animagus and not register, the only reason people do that is because they're afraid of it going wrong, and mind you it could go VERY wrong," Sirius was about to talk more about the dangers of this, but hearing Peter's frightened squeal made him change his mind, "the point is it's gonna be very hard but both James, you, and me get top marks so we don't have much to worry about."
"Exactly!!!! Can you imagine how cool it'll be??? The four of us could go exploring around to places we could never as kids, we'd know every secret passage every room, every path, we could even make a diary, a map, or a book about it and become legends," James said sounding a bit over dramatic.
Remus shook his head laughing, and the others joined. "You're really gonna do this aren't you?" he said his eyes over bright.
"Yep!!!!" Sirius crossed his arms as he nodded, trying to look serious, not that it worked anyway since the others just rolled their eyes, "what is this? When I act goofy, in other words I act like myself you all tell me to act my age, and when I try to act serious you roll your eyes meaning I should act my age, what is wrong with you people????????!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Jeez calm down Sirius will you," James said and before Sirius could protest he add, "if you don't we might not get the chance to celebrate our new mission by getting revenge on the Slytherins for the last Quidditch match."
"If it's still planned for dinner time we should get going," Remus suggested grinning and getting to his feet, "to the kitchen then, right?"
* * *
"Okay here comes Snape," Rose whispered.
Crystal flipped her hair over her shoulder, and Vanessa took a deep breath, as the five Gryffindor girls made their way towards the advancing Slytherin boys: Snape, Rosier, Wilkes, Christian Avery and Aaron Lestrange.
"Hey Rosier, how is it going?" Rose called and Rosier waved in return, but none of the other boys greeted them in anyway, well except for Snape who sneer.
"What do you want Potter?" Rose pointedly ignored him.
"Rosier I thought we could do something together this weekend you know? Maybe go for a walk along the lake or something," Rose said not the least bit embarrassed of asking Rosier out right in front of his friends, who all by the way looked shocked by her behavior.
But that was the plan, Rose's little invitation would pop the Slytherin boys into a state of shock which would give her friends time to charm Snape's pencil out of his bag and into theirs without being seen.
"Sure," Rosier said without thinking twice.
"It's a date then," Rose grinned throwing her head back.
"What? Rosier man your not serious bout dating a Gryffindor are you?!!!" Avery frowned.
"That's really none of your business!" Rosier snapped.
To Rose's satisfaction the boys argued for sometime giving the girls more than enough time to fulfill there mission of stealing something with Snape's DNA, so as soon as Crystal gave her a huge smile Rose quickly backed away from the Slytherins who didn't notice a thing. And finally when the three were out of there sight they started running as fast as they could to the Moaning Myrtle bathroom, were they had figured would be the best place to whip up the potion they had in mind, however before they entered they whistled a short tune so the 2 girls already inside wouldn't get scared when they entered.
"Hey I was wondering when you guys would come back, I don't want to be late for dinner tonight, cause James promised me a little treat," Lily exclaimed as soon as they entered.
"Well we got the DNA," Vanessa grinned triumphaly.
"Great, this potion is complex but not as complex as the love potion, I mean we could whip this whole thing up in only a few days, because we're not talking bout a true love potion but a crush potion," Lily explained.
"A few days huh? This is better than I thought," Crystal exclaimed.
"Yeah, but wouldn't a love potion be better?" Vanessa asked.
"Yes, but love potions are VERY complex and they could go HORRIBLY wrong. For example my second cousins' best friend took this silly dare to give this cute guy a love potion, but soon lost interest in him and fell in love with some one else. The whole thing hurt the first guy soooooo much that he ended up committing suicide." Maya sighed tragically, "it was quite a shame he used to be such a sweet and funny boy plus he was really great looking."
"Ok we get the point, there'll be no love potion making," Rose waved an impatient arm, "can we get started, I don't want to miss the prank the boys set up."
After 15 minutes of adding the intergradient the girls were finally done for the day and had to get to the Great Hall. They sat together chatting happily about the new type of lipstick that changed into the color(s) of your shoes, until they noticed Remus, Sirius, James and Peter enter.
* * *
Sirius just couldn't wipe off the huge grin that covered half his face, as he and the others trying to look innocent (although no one was fooled) made their way past the Slytherin table very slowly. Not being able to resist the urge, Sirius bent over and poked Snape's sides, hard, making the poor boy jump and let out a huge squeal, making the 4 Gryffindor boys nearly fall over from laughing so hard.
"F**k you Black, I'm not gay like you," Snape snapped.
"The hell did you say?!!!" Sirius was about to jump at Snape, but was quickly held back by James and Remus, who whispered in his ear about their prank which will be displayed the second the meals appeared, and it did.
While the two boys were still holding Sirius back from leaping at Snape, Dawn suddenly screamed, making everyone in the Great Hall turn to her. Pale faced she pointed to the huge lobster across the table, which to the Slytherin's surprise was very much alive, and slowly they noticed the same thing also went for the shrimp, the fish and every other food on the long Slytherin table, including the VEGETABLES. They had begun to crawl around as if alive and were quite brutal as some wrapped themselves around people's ears or throats.
"Whoa man!!!" Sirius exclaimed, pulling free of his friends' tight hold, which had loosened since the girl's scream.
"This is-beyond-wonderful," James managed to say between peels of laughter, seeing that the biggest lobster had a tight grip on Snape's over large nose, while Snape howled in pain.
The rest of the Great Hall was shocked and yet amused at the same time. Lily and her friends who had already knew there was gonna be prank played out at dinner, had fought their way to the front of the crowd easily and now were standing there staring at the Slytherins with dropped jaws and dancing eyes.
Of course not too long later a chuckling Dombledore made his way towards the Slytherins and the huge crowd parted for him, so he could easily make his way through, followed by McGonagall, Artemis, and Apollo (the handsome Arithmancy teacher) who weren't as amused. After Dombledore made all the live food disappear with a single wave of his wand, he told the Slytherins to go ahead and sit at the other house tables, McGonagall turned glaring at Sirius, Remus, James, and Peter, who grinned angelically.
"Don't try to look innocent, I know it was you 4 that did this," she said sharply her mouth a thin line, "my office! Now!"
Knowing that they were in huge trouble the boys followed McGonagall with their heads hanging down, but incredibly enough Prof. Dombledore stopped them.
"Minerva dear, is there any direct evidence that connects these boys to the crime?" he asked his eyes twinkling behind his glasses.
"Uh-well no, but of course it's them, who else could it have been?" McGonagall said sounding a bit awkward, but Dombledore just shook his head.
"I believe many of the Gryffindores would have many reasons to do this, and as much as these boys might seem the most likely to do this there is still no evidence that suggests that they are guilty, and so there forth I believe they should be in no trouble, after all it's innocent until proven guilty," Dombledore said, and motioned to the 4 boys that they were free to leave.
Remus, James and Peter had to practically drag an dropped jaw Sirius away from the Slytherin table to the Gryffindore one, and when they finally got there they burst into a shocked conversation about what Dombledore had just done for them, ignoring the compliments that were directed to them by the other Gryffindores.
"THAT was unbelievable," Sirius said, looking as if he still couldn't believe it.
"Yeah, Dombledore let us off even though he KNEW it was us who did it, I could tell," James said shaking his head grinning.
"He did know, but like he said there was no evidence against us," Remus pointed out.
"So, McGonagall would have punished us anyway," Sirius said bitterly, obviously remembering McGonagall's past punishments.
"But that wouldn't have been justice, and I think that's what Dombledore wanted to teach us all," Remus said a little too wisely, making the other three smirk.
"I swear Remus you sound more and more like a teacher everyday. I'll bet everything I have including my new broomstick, Nimbus 1984, that you're gonna be a Professor one day," Sirius said smirking.
"Yeah, maybe he'll have to teach our kids," James said, his eyes sparking, "teach them how to break rules and bug Slytherins."
"Well the only kind of teacher I'd like to be is a DADA teacher," Remus said laughing to himself, "it's not only my favorite subject, but if some of the kids bother me I could hex them and just say it's a part of the lesson."
"So is hexing and playing pranks all that's on your minds these days," hissed an angry voice, and the four boys quickly turned around to find Ty's enraged face glaring at them.
"What's your problem?" Sirius glared back.
"My problem, is that three members of my team are too reckless to even get their butts out to the Quidditch pitch for practice!" Ty said through clenched teeth.
The boys exchanged guilty looks, they had totally forgotten about the Quidditch practice scheduled for this afternoon. James gave his best apologetic grin, and got ready to apologize when.
"Hey Ty, wait a sec!" Lily suddenly appeared pulling her hair free of it's high ponytail, and receiving quite a few admiring glances as her shiny locks fell around her pretty face, "listen it wasn't their fault that they were late, it was the Slytherins'."
"What?" Ty asked.
"I meant I heard that the Slytherins were planning on pulling another trick on the team on today's practice, so I warned the boys who went to try to prevent it," she quickly explain, battering her long eyelashes, "you surly wouldn't kick them off the team just cause they missed a practice when it was cause they tried to help the team?"
"Uh well.in that case, I'm sorry," Ty really looked apologetic, perhaps the prank the Slytherins had pulled on him wasn't completely horrible, "I should have known you wouldn't miss practice on propose, I mean you LOVE Quidditch."
"Oh it's all right Ty-" Remus began but was cut off.
"Yeah, you'll be forgiven after you do us a favor," Sirius grinned, but Ty only snored.
"Ha, dream on buddy. I'm not THAT sorry!"
"Fine suit yourself! But don't blame us the next time we don't trust you enough to follow your orders in a game," Sirius crossed his arms.
Ty looked taken back for a minute but catching the look on Sirius' face he seemed to have crumpled, so he simply sighed.
"Fine! What do you want?" he said.
"A little favor," Sirius responded.
"What?"
"I want you to make up a story about me being badly injured," Sirius said simply.
"You gotta be kidding me, I mean wouldn't Madam Pomfroy set the story right?"
"Oh leave her to me, some sleeping potion should do the trick."
"You're actually serious?!!"
"Yeah, there is an early practice tomorrow morning, so just inform Prof. McGonagall and she'll fill in the rest of my teachers."
"And what will YOU be doing all day tomorrow?"
"That, is none of your business," Sirius glared as him coldly.
Ty shrugged and walked off while Lily and the boys stared at Sirius unsurely.
"Seriously Sirius, WHAT will you be doing all day tomorrow?" James asked with raised eyebrows.
"Finding out the truth," Sirius said quietly, and then he quickly turned and walked off.
"What, was that about?" Lily asked dumbfounded.
"I haven't got the slightest idea." James responded.
3 weeks, Sirius though bitterly, I've been able to put it out of my mind for 3 whole weeks, then why in the hell did I crumple and let it take over? His dark eyes glared at the piece of paper that lay on his pillow, and without thinking twice his rage took over and he ripped the paper into small pieces.
A/N: I know you're all gonna hate me for stopping here, but I can't think of a better place to end it before the next chapter starts! ^_^
