Hey! Thanks to Nessie and fang-gurlie for their reviews. Your reviews mean
a lot to me!
As everyone knows, I DO NOT own any of the Harry Potter characters except
the ones I made up, of course.
Sirius Black and ???
"Sirius," Remus tried, "Sirius, what did you do?" Peter was looking nervously around as though he was waiting for someone to charge towards them, demanding to know what they had just done. Sirius swiped at his eyes, chuckling softly.
"I-. I-. Hahaha." Remus couldn't help it. He started to smile. Remus may have no idea what Sirius had done, and he may not like the concequences, but for the time being seeing Sirius so happy about some prank filled Remus with a sense of familiarity and excitement. Remus always liked Sirius and James' pranks even if he was slightly more cautious and serious than them. Peter on the other hand hated their pranks and detested getting in trouble. At that moment Peter was edging away, knowing that this would only land them in trouble. What else was new?
Suddenly the trio heard a faint whistling sound. Sirius' eyes were alight with excitement and Remus found himself eagerly awaiting the results. Peter, who had been edging farther and farther away, suddenly stopped and stood stalk still, his eyes wide in wonderment.
The sound stopped as soon as it had started. Remus looked sideways at Sirius expecting him to look disappointed, but instead saw the same eager look. Remus had only a second to reflect upon this when they heard a faint *pop* come from the tent infront of them. Sirius grinned widely and Remus remained standing beside him. Peter crept up to them, curious. They waited. Suddenly they heard a loud squack and a white duck emerged from the tent, pushing through the flap that Sirius had so conveniently left open.
The duck wore a furious expression (well, to them it certainly looked like a furious expression knowing who the duck really was) and quacked loudly at them. Sirius couldn't contain himself and fell to the ground laughing hard and clutching his stomach. Remus let out a howl of laughter and Peter sniggered. The duck spread it's wings threatningly and quacked angrily. The duck ran at Sirius, still on the ground, and began pecking at him. He then proceded to chase his friends around.
All the commotion woke Mr. and Mrs. Potter who came out to investigate. They were met with the strangest scene. They saw Sirius laughing uncontrollably, wiggling around on the ground as Remus and Peter ran from a small white duck. As the Potter's were used to scenes like this they quickly worked out that the duck was their son. Mr. Potter changed the duck back into James and James glared at Sirius, knowing fully well that it was his idea.
"I'm, so-so-sorry, J-J-James." He gasped. Sirius took a deep breath and, grinning, stood up. "It was so tempting to try out the new products!" He told him, begging for forgiveness.
James glared at him with his arms crossed for another minute, then he suddenly grinned.
"You're an idiot, Sirius! And Remus and Peter, letting him do it!" He exclaimed with a laugh. Jmes was far too goo tempered to get mad at his best friends.
"We didn't *let* him do it!" Peter said in defense. James laughed again and steeped forward, hugging Peter, then Remus.
"It's great to see you guys again!" James looked thrilled as he glanced from friend to friend. Mr. and Mrs. Potter sighed and with a laugh at their antics, greated Remus and Peter. The Potter's were used to the pranks and jokes after almost five years of having to endure it and hear about it from the school.
"Alright, James. You guys can talk for a little while, but I don't want you up too late and I don't think Mrs. Black will either. We all have to get up early tomorrow for the match. It's going to be a big day." Mrs. Potter cautioned.
"Yes mom. 'Night dad." Mr. and Mrs. Potter turned back to go back to sleep.
"Wow! It seems like we've been apart for ages!" Sirius exclaimed. James and Remus nodded in agreement.
"You realise that, apart for our first summer after Hogwarts, this has been our first summer apart?" James asked as they sat on the cool grass.
"Yeah, this is the longest we've been seperated since our second year at Hogwarts." Remus agreed.
"So, how've you all been?" James asked eagerly, refering to Remus and Peter, since he'd already talked to Sirius.
"Fine, I just wish I had an owl of my own." Peter said wistfully. "I would have been able to write to you guys more."
"Have you asked your parents?" Remus asked.
"Yes, but they said it depeneds on how well I do in my O.W.Ls." Peter said sadly. "I know I won't be getting outstanding grades like you guys." He picked woefully at the grass.
"You'll do fine, Peter!" Remus said, trying to make his friend feel better. Peter shrugged.
"Yeah, I guess." He said doubtfully.
"How about you, Remus?" James asked looking concerned.
"I'm fine, Dad wasn't sure if I should come, since the full moon was so close to the match. He wasn't sure if I'd be up to it." Remus shrugged. "I feel fine, just a bit tired." He forced a smile onto his face. James and Sirius gave him a concerned look.
"Maybe we should go to bed." James suggested looking unsure.
"I'm fine, really." Remus shrugged again.
"Well, even still, it's getting late and we should get back or mom will have my neck!" Sirius joked half-heartedly.
"Don't worry, Remus. We'll figure it out." James said softly. Remus looked at his three friends and a smile flickered across his face. *I have the best friends on the planet*, he thought as they stood to leave.
