On with the story… Also sorry that I skip Halloween and Christmas this year!

Chapter 18: Sirius's idea

Months had past since James, Sirius, and Peter had confronted Remus on their recent "discovery"; it was already January. All the students had returned from Christmas break and classes would be starting the next day.

James collapsed onto his bed, thoroughly exhausted from the journey back to Hogwarts on the Hogwarts Express. Sirius, who had stayed at Hogwarts, even after being begged thousands of times by James to go with him, was playing wizards chess with Remus who also decided to stay.

Peter who had went home, collapsed on his bed too. He was asleep in seconds, snoring loudly.

James sat up and stared at his two friends, through half closed eyes. Sirius turned to him and asked, "Have a good Christmas?"

"Yeah," James said. He yawned and then asked, "You?"

Sirius looked at Remus, hesitating. Remus sighed then said in a half angry, half exasperated voice, "No! For the hundredth time no!"

"No what?" James asked, curiously.

"Uh," Sirius said. He looked at Remus who glared at him, he gave him an innocent smile before saying, "I had an idea."

"Wow!" James said rolling his eyes, "An idea! That's a first!"

"No, I'm serious!"

"Yes Sirius, we all know your name! No need to remind us!" James said with a grin plastered on his face. He saw the glare Sirius sent him then said, "Ok, ok enough joking, what was this brilliant idea of yours?"

"Well, it involves Remus an-" Sirius said, but was cut off by Remus.

"And you are not doing it! It's-"

"I kind of got the idea from him actually," Sirius continued, ignoring Remus. "He was talking about how we can't do anything, which is not true by the way! He proved that when he said that-"

"That you are a complete idiot, because it is too dangerous! You'll end up-"

"Anyway, try to ignore our dear friend here," Sirius said, "he proved it when he said that werewolves are only a danger to humans, and not animals!"

Sirius turned and looked at James, who was staring blankly back at him.

"Ok, so… you're saying…um…what are you saying exactly?" James asked blankly.

"Well, isn't it obvious?" Sirius asked.

"Um…no…"

Sirius sighed, and then looked to Remus who shook his head.

"I won't let you do it!"

"What are you talking about?" James asked, completely confused.

"Come on Jamsie it's not THAT hard!" Sirius said with a grin on his face.

"Yes, it is. And don't call me Jamsie!"

"Ah, fine! Okay werewolves aren't dangerous to animals. We want to be with Remus, but we can't; only animals can. So that means to accomplish our goal we must combined the two…"

James smiled, and then frowned.

"But…we can't become animagi…can we?" James asked looking from Sirius to Remus.

Sirius spoke before Remus got a chance to utter a sound.

"I've been researching it over break-"

"How did you manage that?" James interrupted, "I thought that those books are all in the restricted section…"

"Well…" Sirius said with a mischievous smile, "I have my ways…"

"In other words he went to the Room of Requirements, because he knows that he didn't sneak into the Restricted Section."

Sirius sent a glare his way, but immediately brightened up. "I researched it and it is possible. True, it's a little tricky-"

"A little tricky?! Try extremely complicated! Not to mention extremely dangerous!" Remus said, practically yelling now.

"Ok so it's more than a little tricky, but the point is that it's possible, the only question is if you guys are up to it… I know I am!"

"I suppose… we need to ask Pete though." James said looking over to Peter's sleeping body, "better wait till morning…"

"Yeah, that is if he wakes up," Sirius said. "If it wasn't for his snoring, I'd probably think he's dead!"

"Hey!!! I won't let you do this!!!" Remus shouted.

"Why not?" Sirius asked, fed up now, "It's not like we're gonna kill ourselves!"

"Ah!!! It's too bloody dangerous for a bunch on twelve year olds too handle!"

"No it's not! Not for the Marauders anyway!" James said defiantly.

"Yes, it is! It is way too complicated! Didn't you listen to McGonagall? She told us that it took her two and a half years to become an animagi and she's the Transfiguration teacher and all!" Remus said, trying to get them to listen to him.

"So…and your point it?" Sirius asked.

"Ah! You can't do it and I won't let you! It's-"

"Fine!" Sirius said, throwing his hands up into the air. "Fine! You're right! We the poor twelve year old wizards are too inexperienced to handle something like this! Remus, you have the poor three twelve year old wizards trust that we will not go through with becoming animagi! Happy?"

"Yes! Very!" Remus said. He then got up and headed to the bathroom.

James just stared at Sirius, confused.

"What?" Sirius asked.

"Uh, why is it that you were so excited about this idea and that now you are giving into Remus? You never give into anyone!"

Sirius grinned, a mischievous glint in his eyes, "Because, my poor little friend, like I said, Remus has the trust of the three twelve year old wizards… I didn't say anything about the three thirteen year old wizards…"

James grinned too. "I should have known! I mean you did point that out didn't you?"

"Yeah, I don't think we should mention it to Peter though. He seems to have a habit of letting things slip. We can tell him when we become the three thirteen year old wizards I talked about."
A/N: Ok well I hope that you enjoyed that chapter! So sorry about the length of it. Anyways also I'm so sorry that Lily hasn't been present for like three chapters. But at least I got this stuff out of the way!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, I don't know when I'll update like I said life is crazy!

About this chapter….my beta reader was kind enough to point out that they spent three years on this and became animagi in their 5th year, and that means they start in third year. I really didn't want to redo this chapter so I added the part from "Hey!!! I won't let you do this!!!" Remus shouted. And down. Ok, but I think it adds something to it…don't you? Anyways please review!

Reviewers:

Misty Cherry: Yes, I think that I portrayed little Peter correctly…I hate him, true…but he really doesn't go bad until after Hogwarts, I think…anyways I just think he wouldn't be to uh…enthusiastic bout hanging with a werewolf! Anyways thanks for your great review!

Sarah Warder: Yes, I do agree that we will disagree, hehe! Anyways glad to hear you like the chapter! Thanks for reviewing!

Ginny Potter7: Ok, well believe me there will be plenty J/L interaction, I mean the whole reason why I did this story was for them. I am just trying to get the important Marauder stuff out of the way. This story will start to become the love/hate story that I want by next year…or at least that is how I am planning it.

Thanks to JK for her one line in HP 5, James and Lily don't get together until 7th year, but whatever, I really like love/hate more than love/love. Ok for your questions: No, James doesn't really like Lily yet, well not in that way. His first impression when he SAW her was that she was beautiful…when he met her well…anyways next question.

Does Lily really dislike James? Hmm yes and no. Depending on what you mean by dislike. If you mean hate, can't stand like the way she was in the 5th book, then no. But she still doesn't like or poor little Jamsie!

Now, glad to hear that you agree with my opinion on HP3. Not everyone does…but believe me that is a long story. Ok well hang tight for about half a year (in the story, not real life) for more J/L interaction. Maybe I'll do you a favor and but some in somewhere this year…ah well don't get your hopes up! Ok thanks for reviewing, I had a lot to say to you didn't I?

EyesofEmerald: It's ok that you didn't review! Really! But, nonetheless I am glad that you took the time to go back and do so! Glad to hear you like my chapters! And yes the Marauders stick together…except for Peter…who doesn't deserve to be a Marauder!
