"You're wrong!"
"Don't be ridiculous."
"It is!!"
"You're all nutters."
Lily sighed impatiently at the group of boys known to most as the Marauders. Sirius and James were stubbornly (and loudly) trying to convince her of something that was most definitely not a fact. Remus watched from the sidelines looking thoroughly amused. Peter wasn't quite sure what to believe.
"I'm telling you, Lils," Sirius insisted, "the Moon is made of cheese!"
James nodded enthusiastically.
"Right," Lily said with sarcasm, "and Santa Clause is real, didn't you know? He says 'ho, ho, ho,' by the way…"
Now all, except Remus of course, looked puzzled.
"Santa! Honestly, don't you guys have any culture?" Lily rolled her eyes, muttering something about 'stupid purebloods'.
Sirius cleared his throat. "As I was saying, the Moon is definitely cheese. Just look at it!"
The five Gryffindors glanced out the window at the half moon.
"See, Lils, doesn't it look like cheese?" James asked.
"No." Lily raised an eyebrow. "It's just a stupid old myth all because of one idiot who was quoted saying something moronic. Now, if you'll excuse me," she said with finality, rising from her seat and starting up the stairs.
The Marauders continued staring at the Moon.
"Moony, you of all people should know—we're right, aren't we?" James asked Remus.
Remus bit back a grin. "Of course you are, Prongs. The moon is made of cheese."
James and Sirius smiled happily.
