"What's with all this screaming?" Lily came in with her chocolate, "I barely made it half way to the great hall when I heard you guys screaming!"
"Well, you see," Sirius began.
"Where's Potter?" She interrupted after taking a cursory look around the room.
"For the next few minutes I am Prongs," Sirius answered, a smirk playing his lips. He then cleared his throat and began to imitate his best friend, "Evans! You have a nice and firm arse!"
Just then, Madame Pomfrey's office door slammed open. Sirius jumped into the bed and covered himself with all the blankets he could find. "What's with all this screaming?" The nurse practically yelled.
"I just," Lily thought quickly as she hid her chocolate, "I had to yell at Potter so he could finally get back into bed. He was trying to get out you know!"
"I see," Madame Pomfrey's eyebrows raised, "So you wouldn't mind staying here and making sure that Potter got to sleep before you left, right? So far, you're the only one that he listened to."
"I hate him," was the reply.
"I guess I'll have to stay here then," Madame Pomfrey sighed as she made her way to the bed.
"BUT!" Lily yelled before the nurse could see Sirius, "It's hard to control him! I guess I'll just have to stay then, won't I?"
Madame Pomfrey then thanked Lily and walked back to the office.
"Well done, Ms. Evans," Sirius sat up, "Who would've thought an ex-perfect would do that?"
"Just shut up," Lily took a bite of the chocolate she loved to bits, "And tell me why you're here."

Clouds covered the moonlight, so all it looked like was beautiful designs in the sky. Many of the people that finished eating sat outside or looked at the sky from inside the window, except for-
'Stupid Snivellus! STUPID SNIVELLUS!' James thought to himself over and over again. That's when he spotted the Whomping Willow's branches stop off in the distance, 'He must have already gotten there!' He then urged his broom to go faster.
=+=
"Finally," Severus said aloud, "I will finally get to see where they go! Lumos!"
He walked down the long and dark tunnel with a mixture of emotions surging through him. Excitement to see where they go. Hopefulness that they aren't there before them. Eagerness to see what's at the end. Fear that this is just a big prank.
He then saw a door near just a few feet away.
"DON'T GO IN!" Severus turned to see James Potter running as fast as he could, "I'M SERIOUS! DON'T OPEN THE DOOR!"
"SOD OFF!" Severus called back. He slowly turned the knob to see Remus Lupin sitting in the corner. He was hugging his knees close to him, and sweating pretty badly.
"What are you doing here?" Remus asked, eyes wide.
Just then, the clouds moved. Moonlight entered the shack. All Severus could see was Lupin's silhouette. Lupin had gone rigid. His limbs then began to shake. A terrible snarling noise filled the room. Lupin's head was lengthening, as was his body. His shoulders were hunching. Hair was sprouting visibly on his face and hands, which were curling into clawed paws. (A/N Heh heh heh! I got that description from PoA)
Snape was speechless. Just then, something draped over him as someone pushed him away.
"Just run," James yelled over his shoulder as he pushed the door shut, "This invisibility cloak is the only chance you've got from hiding from him!"
Snape then began to rejoice, "I found your secr-"
"RUN!"
He did as told, not even looking over his shoulder to where Potter was.
=+=
"RUN!" James yelled at Snape, 'You ugly git,' was what he wanted to add, but decided that this was no time for childish name calling. He heard Snape's footsteps disappear down the tunnel.
He transformed into the stag as his friend broke through the door. James used his antlers to push Lupin back into the bedroom. 'Get back in!' He though to himself.
After being bitten, kicked, tackled, and bitten again, Remus gave up and walked back in.
James turned and started to gallop towards the end of the tunnel. When he was a good distance away from the shrieking shack, he changed back and called out, "ACCIO BROOM!" at the top of his lungs. His old silver arrow came and stopped right next to him. "ACCIO INVISIBILITY CLOAK!" And his invisibility cloak came in less than 9 seconds.
'7 seconds,' he thought to himself as he flew down the tunnel, 'Snape isn't even out of the tunnel! HOW SLOW IS THAT TOERAG???'
There he was. Snape was strolling down the tunnel like there was no tomorrow. Even if he was a small distance from the exit, him just taking his sweet time infuriated James.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" James's voice echoed throughout the tunnel, "THERE WAS A WEREWOLF AFTER YOU AND YOU'RE TAKING YOUR SWEET TIME?!?!"
James got out first and held out a stick he found on the ground to Snape. 'I ain't gonna touch him! HELL NAW!'
They walked out, safely, but as soon as they turned around, the first thing they saw was Dumbledore and Professor McGonnagal looking at them.
=+=
"Prof. Dumbledore," James began after the two boys were led into his office, "I can explain!"
Dumbledore held a hand to silence him, "Mr. Black has already explained the whole thing, as did Ms. Evans."
At cue, Lily and Sirius followed Prof. McGonnagal into the office. Sirius took a seat next to James and Lily took one between Snape and James.
"Mr. Snape," Dumbledore said, sternly, turning to the boy at the very left, "I would greatly appreciate it if you don't breathe a word of what happened tonight to anybody."
"Of course," Snape nodded, "But-"
"Not to anybody," Dumbledore repeated, "1 weeks worth of Detentions to you for going out of bounds. You may leave."
Snape took his leave, glaring at James and Sirius.
"Ms. Evans," Dumbledore turned to her, "15 points from Gryffindor for lying to Madame Pomfrey." Lily nodded, "10 points to you for telling the truth to us after." Lily smiled and left.
"Mr. Potter. 20 Points to Gryffindor for saving an enemy," Dumbledore said, "2 weeks worth of detentions to you, Mr. Black, for sending Snape down the tunnel."
"But," James began, "Padfoot- Sirius - told me after, and he only did that because I got hurt!"
"So what do you suggest we do then, Mr. Potter?" Prof. Dumbledore turned to him.
"I'll take away one weeks worth of Detentions for Sirius!"
"Fine," A smile played Dumbledore's face, "Your detentions will be of the same days, but separate detentions."
James and Sirius made their way out of the office and smiled broadly at each other.
"After this week, we have broken the record, Prongs," Sirius said as they gave one another a high five.
"Anyways," James said, pulling out his invisibility cloak, "We should get back to Moony, shouldn't we?"
Sirius nodded and they ran back to the shrieking shack…
Without Peter.
