Chapter 4
When Sirius came in with his lips looking like he had just put on lipstick and Severus's nose bleeding uncontrollably, Mr. Potter raised his eyebrows, and looked as if he wanted to ask what happened, but decided that he really didn't want to know.
Mrs. Potter brewed a potion to fix their problems (she was quite talented at potions, having taken lessons from Mrs. Snape), and sent them upstairs. Severus, of course, made a turn into his room to be alone, and the Marauders went into James' room to be stupid.
"What do you reckon we do next?" James asked. He was sprawled on Remus's sleeping bag. Remus was sitting at the desk, scribbling away at a new essay, Professor Binns' essay.
"I dunno," Sirius answered, he looked over at Remus, the sound of his quill scratching madly against parchment, "Don't you ever stop?" he asked.
Remus looked up.
"Well, if I get this stuff done, I'll have more time to have fun without having the guild hang over my back."
"Why don't you just do it on the train? It's something to keep you busy."
"I don't like to do things at the last minute."
"Sheesh."
"Maybe we could ask your mum if we could take a road trip," Peter suggested.
"What's a road trip?" Sirius asked.
"It's like you get in a car and drive to somewhere."
"That sounds really stupid."
"Not if we have some er – 'fun'," James said evilly.
"First we have to ask Prongs' mum," Remus said.
"I'm sure Mum'll agree, I mean, she let us go to the mall to girl-spy," James said.
"Let's ask now!!" Sirius cried, planning to sneak a Dewy Mountain out of the fridge as the other three friends were discussing the road trip with Mrs. P.
So the four tramped downstairs, where Mrs. Potter was getting ready for dinner.
"Mum!" James yelled.
"Yes dear?"
"We want to go on a road trip, with Severus," James said, winking at his friends.
"A road trip dear?"
"Yea."
"How long are you expecting to go on this trip?"
"Er – two nights and three days."
"And where are you planning to drive?"
"London maybe, or Oxford or wherever."
"Are you sure you can manage a car dear?"
"Yea, I've driven one before."
"Well, if it's all right with your father."
James gave a small whoop as Sirius gave a mental whoop (he had just successfully stolen a Dewy Mountain). His father, as usual, gave in. So, two days later (Sirius was still MAD from his Dewy Mountain) they were in a red car with James driving. He was moving at a nice speed at first, not breaking the speed limit, when Sirius yawned and said, "This is BORING."
James grinned, "Put the pedal to the metal!"
He slammed his foot on the accelerator and the car zoomed forward, it was a magic car though, so all the other cars jumped aside.
"OY! STOP THE CAR!" Remus screamed.
"Sure thing, Moony!" James yelled.
He slammed the break – but it didn't stop. It broke instead.
"STOP THE CAR I SAID!" Remus screamed.
"There's no break! I broke the break!"
"Gimme a break," Remus muttered.
So the car was just zooming down the road at 100 mph when all of a sudden – there was a broken bridge. A sign said – "Beware! Broken Bridge! Do not cross."
"JAMES! TURN THE CAR!!!!" Sirius screamed.
Too late.
The car went flying and landed in the lake below. Unfortunately, there was a hornet nest where they landed.
"OW! OW! THEY'RE OUT TO GET ME!!!!!!!!! FLY THE CAR!!!" Peter screamed.
James pulled the lever that flew the car and it rose straight up – "FULL SPEED AHEAD CAPTAIN!" Remus yelled.
The car once again tried to speed up, but – POP. The engine died.
"Uh-oh," James muttered.
The car fell down again at top speed, the hornets following, stings raised.
"STUPEFY!" Remus yelled.
The hornets stopped in midair as the car holding four marauders and an extra fell down.
"Some road trip," Remus muttered.
Everyone was covered in hornet stings, soggy, and hair messed up.
"How do we fix the car?" James asked.
"Reparo!" Remus muttered.
Nothing happened.
"I don't think the repairing spell works on this car," Sirius said.
"Well what do we do?"
"I dunno."
"We have to push the car to a car fixing place," Peter said.
"I don't have Muggle money to pay for that!" James cried.
"I have pocket money!" Peter said.
"Would that be enough?"
"It should be, and if it's not – I nicked my mum's checkbook."
"Smart."
"There's just one problem," Remus added.
"What's that?" Sirius asked.
"How are we going to push the car out of this water ditch?!"
"Good point," James replied.
All this while, Severus sat around, silent, lips pursed.
"You know Sevvy, you should help us?" James asked, as they tried lifting the car.
"It's not my fault you stooges had to go and get the car blasted up."
"Yes it is."
"Maybe the grease of your hair bothered me and I broke the break."
"That's a pathetic reason."
"Shut up."
"At least I'm not as pathetic as you!"
"Yea, so I'm pathetic?"
"Er – yea, that sounds about right."
"Oh my god James! Don't you ever shut up?"
"No."
"Wingardium Leviosa!" Remus cried at last.
The car flew up.
"Good idea!" Peter said, "Now how do we get up?"
"Are you mad?"
Crack James disappeared.
"Oh yea! I forgot that I passed my apparition test!" (A/N: Ok, in ther time, they get their liscenes early, ok?)
Crack Crack Crack
They rest of the Marauders disappeared and landed near the car.
"Ok, let's make things easier than pushing it," Remus said.
He tapped the car and it disappeared.
"Whoa! How'd you do that?" Sirius asked.
"Disillusionment charm, now Locomotor car!" Remus replied.
The Invisible Car now followed them as they walked to the nearest car repairment place. They could've apparated, but how would the car follow? Besides, the car repairman would probably freak out if they appeared out of thin air, and they would be breaking one or two of the decrees.
Once they had the car fixed, James tried to jump into the driving seat, but Sirius was already there – with a Dewy Mountain in his hand. Peter gave a dry croak, Remus coughed, and James tried unsuccessfully to summon the bottle to his hand. But Sirius was already pouring the fizzy soda down his throat.
"Oh, that was good," he said. And then his eyes lit up maniacally. He jumped on the top of the back of the car and began to sing Christmas carols in June.
"YOU BETTER WATCH OUT! YOU BETTER NOT CRY! YOU BETTER NOT SHOUT! I'M TELLIN' YOU WHY! VOLDY-POO IS COMING TO TOWN!!"
The Muggles looked at Sirius curiously, who was now in his Bludger patterned boxers. Remus kicked James out of the driving seat – they needed to do something drastic – and fast. He slammed the accelerator once more, not going to fast, not too slow either. Fast enough to knock Sirius off the back of the car though.
"OY!" he yelled.
Trying to hold his boxers to his pants, he raced after the car.
"WAIT!"
"Aw, let the poor guy back on," James said.
"Fine," Remus sighed.
He stopped the car to the side, and Sirius climbed back in, grinning madly. Not wanting to fall off the car again, he resolved to jumping on the backseat.
"UPSIDE-DOWN! BOUNCIN' UP THE CEELING! INSIDE OUT! – "
"SHUT UP SIRIUS!" Remus bellowed.
"NO!" Sirius screamed back.
"PRONGS MAKE HIM SHUT UP!" Peter yelled.
While the shouting match was going on, James had freezing cold pear in Sirius's mouth and threw his Dewy Mountain out the window.
"How's that supposed to make him shut up?" Remus asked.
"Watch!" James said happily.
Sirius was trying to speak, but with the pear, it was impossible to move his lips.
"Oph oph. Argh. Oph. Oph."
And so Sirius tried to bite the thing that was keeping him quiet. But it was a freezing cold pear too, so it practically froze his teeth off.
"That should keep him quiet for a while," James laughed.
"I hope."
"Oph, oph. Argh. Oph. Oph."
The Marauders laughed.
"You know, Snape's been pretty quiet," Peter said
"Is there something unusual about that?" James asked sarcastically.
"Well, I thought you should notice – we left him in the ditch!" Peter said.
"Oh crap, he didn't get his apparating liscence yet?"
"Apparently not."
"Do we have to get him?"
"Well..."
"No."
"Let's collect him on our way back to James' house."
"Sounds like a good plan to me!"
"A Snivellus-free road trip!!! Yay!"
Ok, I changed Chapter 4 a bit, so that it relates more to the topic than just a crazy bizzarre event happening over the summer. Hope you like it! – Moony
