(This fic is rated k or k+ i think, but some content in this chapter might be T, depends on how sensitive you are. I rated this K+ 'cause the marauders are twelve here so surely any twelve year old should be able to read this. Although, I'm 17 and don't really know how 12 year olds think. Well, I've warned you.)
FM fic, Chap 4: Cheddar and full body search
James, Sirius and Peter were outside on the roof on top of their commonroom. Peter was chewing on a large cheddar.
"Done. Complete with craters and everything." he said when he finished.
"Perfect. Hey, wasn't it bigger?" James asked. Peter looked down at his feet.
"Oh well, it will have to do." said Sirius and stuck a rope to the cheese. "We should go back to the dorm now, Jim. Petey know's what to do."
"Aye aye, captain!" said Peter sincerely.
In the dorm, Remus was looking for a new book to read when James and Sirius enterd.
"Hiya, Remy!" James greeted him happily. "What's up?"
"Just looking for something readable." Remus replied.
Sirius nudged James and whipered: "Stick to the script!"
"Oh right." said James and looked down at his palm. "So, Remus. Have you looked outside the window in our dormitory today?" he read.
"...no, maybe, I'm not sure. Why?"
James pushed Sirius.
"The sky is very beautiful today! You really should take a look at it." said Sirius, grinning widely.
"Maybe later."
James leaned closer to Sirius and muttered: "What do I say now, this wasn't in the script!"
"Just improvise, for god's sake. As long as he looks out the window!"
Sirius went to the window and pulled the drapes aside. He knocked on the window and the cheddar fell down.
"Ahahaha." Sirius laughed nervously. "Where did the moon go?"
The cheddar flew back up and stopped just outside their window.
"There it is! Isn't it pwetty, Remy?"
Remus frowned. "Why is cheddar hanging outside the window?"
"It's not cheddar! It's the moon! Can't you see the craters?" James explained.
"Looks like bite marks to me."
"Well, you should know all about that..." Sirius muttered.
"What was that?"
"Nothing! Don't hurt me!"
James approached Sirius. "He didn't transform, what do we do now?" he whispered.
"We must convince him that it is the real fullmoon!"
"Don't you just love the full moon out there?" James asked and pointed at the cheddar.
"What are you guys really up to!" said Remus and went to the window and opened it.
"Oh no, he's suspecting something!" Sirius panicked.
"Guess he's smarter that we thought!" said James.
"Something is holding the cheese back!" said Remus, tugging the cheddar. "Why-won't-it-come-loose!"
"Please don't tug the moon." said James
Too late, Peter couldn't hold it back and fell off the roof. Remus hoisted him back up and through the window.
"What were you doing up there?"
"Um...I, um er was just um..."
It was midnight and all of them were asleep except for Sirius, who had an idea and woke up James and Peter.
"He must have a mark somewhere! A scar or something!"
"Hey, you're right." said James.
"But how are we gonna find out where?" Peter asked.
"We just gonna have to look all over him, won't we? I mean, almost. Ahem."
"Sirius, you perv." said James and threw a pillow at him.
They squat down next to chocolate-dreaming Remus and tried to decide where to start looking.
"I vote neck." said James.
They could only see one side of the neck 'cause Remus was sleeping on the side.
"How can we turn him without him noticing?" Sirius whispered.
James unwrapped a chocolate frog, waved it under Remus' nose and laid it behind him so he'd turn around.
"mmm choco froggy..." he mumbled and hugged the chocolate frog.
"Brilliant!" said Peter.
"Well, a monkey could have though of that." said James.
"No scar there either." said Sirius. "Now where?"
"Check the legs!" James suggested.
"Do we dare remove the quilt?"
"Just because you sleep nude doesn't it mean the rest of us do!" James snapped.
"I don't sleep nude! Just shirtless! Just because you though your wand was in my bed for some reason!"
"It's a memory I thought I had repressed until know, thanks alot." said James.
He removed some quilt and checked under one pyjama leg. Then the other.
"Nothing."
"Maybe it's...higher up."
"You're really enjoying this, aren't you?"
"What? Just because your mind is unclean."
"My mind is unclean?"
"Your the one who's losing his wand in other people's beds, mind you." said Sirius.
"Maybe you should keep your voices down..." Peter suggested.
"That's right, pervert." said James. "Now, where to look?"
"Try my fist." said Remus.
Their heads turned and James recieved a heavy punch in his face.
Morning. They were getting dressed.
"Did you have to punch me so hard, Remus? Now I'll get a blackeye!"
"Did you have to examine my body in my sleep!"
"It was Sirius' idea, hit him!"
"It was not! Well, allright, it was." said Sirius.
"What on earth where you looking for?" Remus asked. "Did you lose your wand again, James? 'Cause just waking me up would have been less awkward!"
"Sorry." said James. "But it was Sirius' fault."
Since it wouldn't be justice if Remus didn't punch Sirius and Peter too, he did.
