For Remus, Saturday rolled around far too quickly, far, far too quickly. Today he slept late. When he finally had bathed and eaten it was already one.
"Moony!"
Remus growled, "What!"
"We're going over to Hogsmade! Wanna come?"
"Sure!" He quickly pulled out two mis-matching socks form under his bed and located his shoes.
Five minutes later the marauders were huddled in front of the castle, freezing.
"Where's l-l-lily?" Remus asked as his teeth chattered.
"She ha-s-s some-t-thing do fo-fo-r some clas-ss." James said.
"Pet-ter?" Sirius stammered.
"He-e don-t-t fe-feel too well," Gemma answered.
"Where the hell are the sled things?" Remus hissed.
"I think you're possessed, moony," Morgan said coyly. He shot her an evil look and rolled his amber eyes. They huddled and froze for a few more minutes
"Why isn't any-anyone e-else here?" Gemma commented.
"Cause most people are smart enough to realize it's below zero and that we have those thingies before Christmas break." Sirius said smartly. "What are they called?"
"Midterms?" Morgan said, her voice dripped with sarcasm.
"YEAH!" Sirius exclaimed. "Those thingies!" They sighed and finally realized that a sled was waiting for them. Morgan and Gemma got in first, then realized that they would suffiate with James or Sirius sitting on them. So Remus and Sirius got into the two person sled first, James sat on the other side.
"I call Padfoot!" Morgan giggled. Gemma waggled her eyebrows at her. "It's not like that! He's comfy!" She sat down next too Remus and the wall and threw her feet in Sirius' face.
"Hey!"
"Dog aren't people sweetie!"
Sirius growled. James laughed and Gemma stole his glasses.
Later at the three broomsticks Gemma and Morgan had split off to shop and the boys were enjoying a warm butter beer.
"A toast!" Sirius said all smiles.
"Here, here!" Remus yelled. They clashed their beers together with a loud slosh. "to us!"
"That didn't sound right," James laughed. Remus looked disgusted.
"I didn't mean it like that." Remus giggled.
"Oh god we're stoned!" Sirius cried in mock dismay.
"Oh well! To the marauders!" Remus said.
"To joy, prosperity, and all that good stuff!" James yelled. He slammed his butterbeer down on the table.
Sirius thought a moment, "To us always being there for one another." Remus and James sobered up a bit and nodded. "Now back to the next issue," They all leaned in closer to him. "Pranks."
Gemma and Morgan returned half an hour later. They bought a butter beer. James and Sirius reported to Dumbledore and went with Remus to the shrieking shack.
They sat at the window starring out at the shack. They were both dressed in simple jeans and heavy sweaters. The butter beer warmed them up a lot.
"Something doesn't feel right," Gemma said softly. Even the bar was quiet. Morgan nodded. She took a sip of butter beer.
"I'm getting something to eat." Morgan said. She got up and walked over to the bar.
A gust of wind shook the shutters. Gemma shuddered. She went over to the bar with Morgan.
Sirius and James were banished form the shack for that night. So they figured they'd sneak over to the villiage and keep the girls from seeing them.
Two shadows spread across the grassy hill as they ran across.
"Shush!"
"I'm not the one giggling!"
"Excuse me, Sirius Black doesn't giggle."
"Sirius!"
"James!"
"Don't say our names out loud, we're being secretive!"
"Oh….Right."
James smacked Sirius upside the head. "Ouch!"
They darted into the village and through the dark streets.
Gemma and Morgan laughed and ate their chili by the window. Nothing from the shrieking shack.
"I guess I was wrong," Gemma said in mock sadness.
"Every things fine!" Morgan insisted. They toasted. "To the future!"
"To friendships that'll never end!" Gemma clashed her bottle against Morgan's and took a big sip. Thy slammed their bottles against the table and laughed.
Sirius and James danced through the streets screaming about moon madness.
"James no, no!" Sirius giggled. "You must raise the leg and then spin!" he demonstrated and fell on his arse. He laughed and gamely got up and tried it again and fell on his arse again.
"'Your so dumb!" James cried gleefully. They danced around like mad men. The moonlight cast black shadows on the cobblestone. Their coal black hair shone silver in the light. A shadow darted across a narrow alley next to them. Sirius did a double take.
"Did you see that?" Sirius asked.
"No! Your delerius!" James laughed.
"James I'm being serious!"
"Of course you being Sirius, who else would you be?"
"JAMES!" Sirius bellowed. James stopped dancing around laughed. "I saw something in that alley."
A freezing gust of wind swept past them. Sirius shivered. "James,"
"Something's wrong."
