The Marauders
Dungeon time, chapter 2
Sirius laid backing his cot and stared up at the dark, damp, ceiling, while James sat on his and leant against the wall, playing with a golden snitch he had been hiding in his cloak. Peter was walking in circles in the middle of the room when he broke the silence.
"Are we going to be escaping?" Peter asked after a while of silence. He had a huge smile on his face and he seemed to be excited.
"Why would we want to do that, Wormtail, when we have all this to look at?" Sirius asked, sarcastically.
"We haven't found a passageway outa here yet" Remus admitted, sitting down on the floor.
"Well I could, you know, turn rat and get the keys." Pater said, scratching his nose.
"you could do that, why don't you try."
Peter looked, sceptically at Sirius and then at the bars of the cell.
"ok" he said, transforming into a fat hairy Rat and scurrying towards the exit, but the second he touched it he bounced backwards into the wall and changed back. Sirius and James laughed
"You really thought they'd just put us in a cage when they know how good we are at magic?" James laughed. "you really are stupid."
"Hey" Peter shouted, but didn't take it any further, he knew it, he was an idiot.
"So what are we gonna do till morning?" Remus asked.
"Prongs, any Ideas?"
"Talk? It always was something you were good at Padfoot." James released the snitch, let it fly around the room once, hit Peter in the head and then he caught it. He ruffled his own hair and then turned back to Sirius.
"How about this, which of us do you reckon is most likely to turn over to the dark side?"
