Disclaimer: I don't any of the marauders (accept for Sirius, he's mine all mine, muahahahahahahaha! No just joking) and Tacey belongs to Amoeba Queen.
Peter Pettigrew was a short rather chubby boy about the age of fifteen. He was defenitely not what you would call attractive and you certainly wouldn't notice him in a crowd. The only reason he did get noticed every now and then was because of his three very popular, rather good looking friends. First off, there was James Potter. Not only was he the star seeker and captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, he was also considered by most girls as "cute". He had unruly black hair and glasses but he was the type of guy who looked good in glasses.
At the moment, said James Potter was currently sneaking up on Peter, mistletoe clutched firmly in hand. All too suddenly, Potter jumped his friend and dangled the mistletoe above his head while shouting,
" Who has to kiss Peter?"
Needless to say, no one volunteered. People even went so far as to shudder and back away. Sirius Black, another of Peter's popular friends, finally took pity on him. Sirius was a tall, roguishly handsome young man with black hair and mischievous dark brown eyes.
" I will."
Looks of revulsion and puzzled astonishment were shot Sirius' way but he took no notice of them. James himself raised a questioning eyebrow as Sirius walked up to Peter. Donning his best sarcastic and fake model voice, Sirius said
" Oh, Peter your so sssssssssssexy, like a ssssssssssssstallion."
The common room was then filled with raucous laughter. Even James burst into uncontrollable hysterics, falling back and dropping the mistletoe. Poor Peter was left staring wide eyed at Sirius, a mix of horror, confusion and shock playing across his face.
Sirius joined in on the laughter and patted the frightened Pettigrew on the back who shrank back from his touch.
Remus Lupin, who was the last of the boy's group, saw this as an opportunity. Remus was a permanently tired looking boy with brown hair and gray eyes. He had been quietly sitting in a corner up to this point, avidly reading one of his many books. The laughter had jerked him abruptly out of his interesting book and he had immediately gathered what was going on.
Leaping up from his chair, Lupin scooped the mistletoe into his hand, and dangled it over Sirius' head and shouted,
" Now let's see who has to kiss this guy."
The complete opposite to what had happened with Peter then ensued. What seemed to be thousands of girls ranging from eleven to seventeen then raced towards the handsome boy. Used to this but not at such a great volume, Sirius wildly looked around for any female who hadn't clambered to kiss him.
After finding no such person after several seconds and fearing that she didn't exist, his frantic gaze finally fell upon Tacey Williams. She was what would be considered an attractive girl of fifteen if only she would take the time and effort to don even a smudge of makeup and try to do anything with her long black curls. She had piercing blue eyes that glimmered with cold intelligence and discipline.
The golden skin of her face twisted into a grimace seeing Sirius' eyes resting on her.
" I don't want to kiss him." She stated, bluntly, and the raging mass of Sirius lovers cast her all manner of shocked and disgusted looks.
Sirius slumped his shoulders in mock disappointment and asked in a very pitiful fake pouty voice,
" You don't want to kiss me?"
Sirius expected a blush or even a giggle but the only reply he received was,
" No."
Puzzled, Sirius stood up straight once again and shot a bewildered look at James. It couldn't be possible that any girl didn't want to kiss him. Even the thought of it was preposterous. But, here it was, directly in front of him, a distinctly female human who did not want to have anything to do with the action of locking lips with him. Still disbelieving, Sirius took a step forward, expecting Tacey's facade to then crumble and for her to squeal and suddenly run towards him or something to that affect. No such thing happened.
" Come any closer and I'll curse you." Warned Tacey, reaching for her wand.
This could not be happening! First, she denies wanting to kiss him, which, Sirius reasoned, she obviously did and was simply very good at hiding the fact and then she threatens to curse him. No one other than Snivellus and some other cocky Slytherin's had ever threatened to curse him and they had come out the worse in that.
Again, he took a step forward, still completely and totally puzzled. She might not kiss him but she defenitely would not curse him.
" Do you like your face in the shape it is? Because if you don't, I can change that for you."
Tacey's wand was now fully out and pointed at Sirius. He actually stopped, totally bewildered and shocked.
It was at this moment that the men of the common room, all in the name of good sport, of course, grabbed Tacey and began shoving her towards the awaiting Sirius. A stream of very crude and colorful swear words then tore free of Tacey's mouth. Sirius was truly amazed. He never thought a girl could know that many swear words. He was impressed.
Finally, Tacey was inches in front of him. Some brilliant person had managed to take her wand from her and thus saved many of the Gryffindor boys from being turned into toads or other even less pleasant things.
Sirius, having fully convinced himself that once she'd experienced what it was like to kiss him, Tacey would not resist, wrapped his arms around her and kissed her.
WACK!
He wheeled backwards into James and Remus who were the only cause for him not winding up on the floor. Sirius regained his footing and stared at Tacey, shocked beyond all belief and completely oblivious to the fact that his nose was bleeding heavily.
" If you ever touch me again, I swear I'll do something worse."
With these words, Tacey stormed up to the girls dormitory.
" She's completely insane." Commented Sherry Reynolds, one of the more empty headed of the cheerleader type seventh years. She stared after Tacey for a moment and then turned to Sirius with a look of pure adoration.
" Sirius, let me take care of your nose for you." She batted her eyelashes at him and drew nearer.
" No, my nose is fine." Sirius replied, firmly.
" But it's bleeding."
" No, it's fine, go away."
After several more attempts to try and help him, Sherry went away and the crowd dispersed, leaving the four Marauders alone in the common room.
" Fuck, my nose!" Sirius exclaimed, as soon as Sherry was gone.
" I don't think it's broken." Noted Remus, looking intently at his friend's damaged nose.
" It better not be." Sirius said, fervently.
" I can't believe she didn't want to kiss me! I bet it was an act." Said Sirius, his nose completely forgotten once again.
" Or maybe she just doesn't like you." Peter suggested, meekly.
" Bite your tongue!" Snapped Sirius, glaring intensely at Pettigrew. Peter fell silent and shrank back from his friend.
" I'm telling you, it had to be an act. Girls feel that they have this dignity to maintain, so they don't slobber over guys that they're obviously obsessed with." Sirius informed his friends, matter-of-factly.
James leaned over and whispered in Remus' ear,
" A real man of the world he is."
" Defenitely. Never seen such skill." Remus whispered back before asking,
" And do they punch said guys in the nose?"
" If they have to."
James shook his head and put an arm around his friend's shoulders.
" Whatever you say, Padfoot. Now let's get you to the Hospital Wing so that Mrs. Bellemeu can fix that nose for you."
A/N: So what did you people think? Just some random, christmas fun, maybe more to come, we'll see. Anyway, tell me what u think. And the sexy stallion line was Amoeba Queen's idea.
