Up in the Common Room James and Sirius were trying for the third time to sneak up to their dormitories, to get their brooms.
"Guys!" called Remus not even looking up from his paper.
"Awe come on Moony!" cried Sirius.
"We've got a paper to do," insisted Remus as he continued to work.
"We're done," answered James.
"Oh really?" asked Remus in disbelief, finally looking up from his work, "Let's see it then."
"See what?" questioned Sirius playing dumb.
"Your papers!"
"Oh, that," hesitantly answered Sirius as he and James handed Remus their papers.
Remus took them and began to read over James' paper first.
"James, how can Grindylows be purely aquatic and yet be frequently seen roaming around on land? I think you've crossed references. Then you've got a lot of repetition in here along with a slew of grammatical errors. You need to do some re-working."
James sighed taking his paper back and flopping back down into his chair.
"Red Caps are not named such because of funny red hat that they ware!" exclaimed Remus as he looked over Sirius' paper, "And I don't think Professor Gribble will accept 4 inch writing either."
Sirius snatched his paper from Remus almost tearing it and giving a look that could kill, which Remus ignored.
After a couple of hours of more work Sirius slammed his book shut threw down his quill and went up to the dorm room.
Remus faintly glanced up at this occurrence continuing on with his paper while James and Peter watched the whole thing. The two stared after Sirius up the stairs. The two glanced at each other communicating their bewilderment at Sirius' actions.
Just about the time that they were going to return to their paper, Sirius returned with a broom over his shoulder.
"I'm going to go fly, would you care to join me James?" Sirius asked giving a challenging glare at Remus who did not look up.
"You bet!" exclaimed James jumping up to get his broom.
"And what of your paper, Sirius?" asked Remus not looking up but continuing to supposedly work.
"It will have to wait," curtly answered Sirius, "Right now I need to practice for Quidditch tryouts."
"That's right," agreed James who had been stopped by Remus' question. He now bolted up the stairs to the dormitory to get his broom.
"Would you care to join us Peter?" asked Sirius, at this Remus actually did look up. He began to threaten-ly eye Peter.
Peter began to breath heavily and swallow hard. He wanted to get away from work, yet Remus looked ready to kill if accepted the offer. Then again so did Sirius if he refused the offer.
"I – I," stammered Peter.
"Ready!" exclaimed James with a broom on his shoulder and jumping the last two steps, "You coming Peter?"
Peter swallowed one more time and then nodded his head in the affirmative.
Remus heaved a great sigh and closed his book saying, "If you can't beat them join them." Remus then followed the other three out.
A/N: I know short chappie, but I'll try to get the next out here soon. Most of what will happen is already formulated in my mind.
