Chapter Three (a little short than the other two) 9:45 p.m. Gryffindor Common Room Sirius, Remus and Peter sit in the common room, a couple girls are talking to sirius, as Peter watches, and Remus is reading a large dusty book with a confused expression on his face. James comes in a few minutes later, sweaty from quidditch practice.

Sirius: runs his hands through his silky black hair and lets it tumble down into his face again

Girls: sigh

Remus: looks up from his book Oh brother. Shall I start the 'Sirius Black Is Sexy Fanclub'?

Sirius: OH..don't be so sour.

Remus: Sour? Well excuse me mr. Eligible Bachelor number1

Peter: ha ha sour!

James: looks at Peter So sorry to ruin your little party Sirius, but would you mind asking your little guests to umm... perhaps visit you a little later? Raincheck? K? shoos girls Buh bye now.

The girls huff as they go away to the common room.

Sirius: Oh there you go spoiling my fun, can't you tell they were 'Pining for me? And I thought you understood women?

James: I do. And I understand that they need to leave right now.

Remus: laughs quietly anyway, James, I can't find anything, I can't read this stuff in here, it kind of matches what we saw on the statue..but this book doesn't translate it. It's some kind of ..erm..Turkish..palmreader...stuff I think...maybe its old Persian?

Peter: Trelawney probably knows, she always knows about those weird languages and inscriptions, if she can't read them, she tells you where they're from, so you can read a book about it.

Sirius: That's proabbly the most educated thing I've heard you say all year Wormtail.

Peter: Thankyou!!! I think..

James: Um.... No! we're not going to ask her! She is such a..erm..no. WE are not asking HER, she is not the only person in ALL of Hogwarts that can help us. Give me a break.

Remus: True, I'm sure most teachers know what we're looking for.

Sirius: SURE lets go ask a teacher and get busted.

Remus: I know, I wasn't suggesting it, I was just..infroming you.

Peter: The dust would probably make her sneeze anyway, you know how her allergies are.

James: Yeah, so we saved her some sneezes because we're not asking her!

Sirius: Fine.

Remus: Fine. I'm sure I can crack it, nothing this silly has ever stopped us marauders before, why should we need her help?

James: WE have some friends, they are probably more informed with this stuff than we are. We'll ask Chris.. or Aitana or..Arthur..Chet..

Sirius: Rhiannon, yeah how about Rhiannon, hey she's a party girl but she actually is really in to this kind of stuff. I'm sure she could prove handy.. teases Remus Moony here would like that-

Remus:face gets red how about lets not and say we did.

James: so.. how long has this love affair been happening Moony?

Remus: slaps forehead with hand Good God..
