The Extended Adventures of the Makers of The Map

By Ali Johnson

Chapter 1. It Started With A Prank

James, Sirius, Peter, and Remus were lounging around lazily.

"I'm bored!" James stated.

"We'd noticed, you stopped playing with the snitch." Sirius said.

"You all could study." Remus suggested without conviction.

"Moony, are you out of your mind?! Why would we want to do a stupid thing like that?" Sirius spat at Remus

"It was just a suggestion," Remus said opening a random book he pulled out of James' book bag.

"Oh, wait, Moony, you don't want to," James began, seeing the book that Remus had picked up, but it was too late.

"What is this Prongs?!" Remus cried shutting the book hurriedly with a snap.

"Uh, it's a book I bought over the summer..." James explained.

"What's with you Moony, I've never seen you shut a book so fast?" Peter asked picking up the book and opening it.

"No, don't!" Remus said.

"Oh!" said Peter loudly dropping the book onto the floor. Remus scrambled, picking it up and thrusting it into James' arms. This was when he realized the whole common room was looking at them.

"What's going on, Moony, Prongs, Wormtail?" Sirius asked nonchalantly picking up the book. He opened it and read a page. "Holy," He said, "James, where did you get this and where can I get one?"

"I wrote it," James confessed.

"You wrote a sexually explicit story?" asked Remus in a hushed voice.

"Well, it wasn't supposed to be seen by anyone but me." James said.

"Is it about," Sirius began. Just then a group of girls walked by, including the lovely Lily Evans.

"Uh-huh," James said staring hungrily after her. She glared over her shoulder at him and went into the girls dormitories.

"She is almost perfect." Sirius said.

"What do you mean 'almost'?" asked James roughly.

"Well, I'd give her more cleavage," Sirius confessed.

"That's not her fault, in fact it's fixable with a simple spell." James said.

"How about, you distract her and I'll do the spell." Sirius suggested.

"I can not believe you two are thinking about doing this!" Remus stated.

"Shhh!" Peter said anxiously, "This is getting good!"

"You see, you're being a bad example for the child!" Remus said laughing.

"I am not a child!" Peter protested.

"You're right, but you're not a man either!" Sirius said.

"There's boys, there's girls, and then there's Wormtail!" James laughed.

"Hey stop it!" Peter yelled blushing as the room heard what had been said, but anyone could clearly tell he was enjoying the attention.

"Here comes Evans." Sirius whispered.

"Right, you distract, I spell." James said, " Scratch that, visa versa!"

"Right!" Sirius said. They sauntered up to the girls and Lily Evans.

"Hey, Evans, a few words?" James asked as Sirius crept into the shadows.

"Fine," Lily replied. The other girls walked off and sat in their corner.

"So, do you remember last month when I asked you out?" James asked.

"Yes, and the answer is still no!" Lily replied preparing to walk off.

"No, no, no, you don't understand, I'm trying to apologize!" James said as he saw out of the corner of his eye, Sirius sneaking up behind the unsuspecting girl.

"Oh?" Lily asked. Sirius was casting the spell.

"Yes, I'm sorry." James said. Then Sirius ran from behind her and bumped her lightly.

"Prongs, you gotta see the new thing Moony has!" He said.

"Alright, well, I'll be seeing you Evans," James said. Lily walked away and sat with her friends. Sirius and James walked over to Remus and Peter. Remus was laughing quietly. And Peter was almost falling off his chair with laughter.

"Did you do it?" James asked.

"Well enough, but I thought for a moment she knew I was there." Sirius replied.

"Well, another pulled off successfully!" Peter said between breaths.

"Exactly my good friends, now, let us go find our good man Snivellus, he will make a good pick me up." James stated.

"I agree, let us to the banquet tonight, and find him when he walks out to the gardens. Then we'll have our fun, come back, sleep on it, and wake up in the morning to see Evans," Sirius planned out.

"I think it sounds excellent." Remus said.

"Well, Moony, you are more than I thought, I have never seen you take joy in one of our pranks. I think he wants to see Evans in the morning." Peter said.

"Oh, Wormtail, stop talking like an old person!" Sirius said.

"Ha!" James snorted loudly. Peter glared at them both, then looked at Remus.

"You're blushing, Moony, so it is true!" he accused. Remus just blushed more at this.

"Come," He said, "Let's go to dinner."
