"Next!"

The four boys walked into the great hall, which was looking very different with the tables against the wall and a stage at one end. The head boy and Girl lead them to the stage and to them that the judges would be coming soon from the room off the teachers exit after they were done discussing the last group. The marauders stood behind the curtains getting ready to start their skit. The judges came out and sat in a row of four chairs right in front of the stage. The judges included Professors Dumbledore, Minerva, Flitwick, and Sprout.

The curtains opened and Sirius walked out onto the stage whistling. James came out from the other wing and as they walked past each other James said,

"Good day Sir."

"Good day miss." Sirius said back happily. Obviously this wasn't planned because of the look on James' face as Sirius skipped off stage. Remus walked on stage then.

"Sir? Sir? Did that man just call you Miss?" James trying desperately to stay in character and looking mad when all he wanted to do was double over laughing said in a choked voice,

"Why yes, yes he did."

"Well then we must do something about that! Hello I am detective Whatsit and my assistant Mr. Grumbles should be hear any moment." Peter took this as his cue and ran on with a box of conjured doughnuts.

"Here are your doughnuts sir!" He said in and urgent voice.

"Why Mr. Grumbles! We have no time for doughnuts! We're on a mission!"

"We are?" Peter said bewildered hiding the doughnuts in his pocket for later which made Dumbledore chuckle.

"Yes we are. This good man has just been called a lady! We must find the villain!" With that he conjured a magnifying glass and peered at the stage floor frowning and took the edge of his robe wiping away a bit of dust and sighing with pretend relief deciding on the spot that his character would be a clean freak.

"Er… Sir? What about the mission?" Peter reminded him rocking on the balls of his feet and acting even more nervous that normal due to being onstage with people watching but it seemed to fit his character so it didn't matter.

"Oh right." Remus cleared his throat straightening up and pointing ahead. "Onward then to find the this villainous name caller."

The three boys walked off the stage in the way Sirius had left and Sirius came back from the opposite side skipping and humming.

"Oh I'm the villain and I like to-" he paused not being able to find a word that rimed with villain, "Well anyway." Cackles evilly. "They'll never catch me because I'm the gingerbread villain man!" With that he ran off stage. The other three enter.

"Where could he be?! We live in a world that's only thirty feet long!" Remus said in genuine exasperation at how weird their skit was getting.

"I'm hungry." Peter said pulling a doughnut out of his pocket and eating it.

"No Mr. Grumbles! Don't eat the food! We have to ration it or we'll starve!"

"Why sir why would we starve?" Remus asked.

"Well how much food do you think grows on a world with a wooden ground that's only thirty feet long?" James answered.

"I see your point good Sir. In that case we should not leave the rations with Mr. Grumbles!" Remus dived at peter to grab the doughnut but peter leapt back with an indignant shriek.

"These are my doughnuts! Get your own!"

"You got them for me to begin with." Remus shot back.

"You didn't want them!"

"Would you kindly suggest where we could get doughnuts of our own?" James interrupted.

"Oh well that's easy. Just through that portal over there. There's a world made up entirely of doughnut stores. I think its called Boston." And so they walked off stage and ran out of time to do more. But the judges were amused and that was all that counted.
