Chapter One: Trapped

Okay. This fanfiction was written by Padfoot, Fluffy, and Dopey. :)

Anything you reconize belongs to Jo Rowling.

The four friends known as the Marauders were traveling though one of their favorite passageways. Now, most of you may think that some of the famous passageways collapsed by erosion, or bad luck, but little do you know that the real truth is much more entertaining.

And then there was a crash. A crash so loud and terrifyingly terrible that it could only be caused by one thing. And you probably would back me up in my saying that it was—

"PETER!" Sirius, Remus, and James all yelled together, as rocks and dirt began to fly by them as the tunnel caved in.

It just so happens, that one of the four friends, Peter Pettigrew, or Wormtail, had been 'skipping' though one of the secret passageways under the school, causing the tunnel to cave in, leaving the four trapped.

Peter was fairly quiet, he was embarrassed. Not only had he been punished for his terrible talent in skipping but he had done something worthy of him muttering a small, "Oops…"

Nobody said anything.

But after a few minutes of this silence and realization of how they were trapped, some people began to get hysterias.

"WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?" Sirius screamed loudly, looking around as if he could find something with the answer to their problem lying on the floor of the cave.

"Erm… I dunno," Remus admitted quietly.

"What do you mean, 'You don't know?' You're the only one here with any sanity! You're not supposed to let us down! Oh no, we're ALL GOING TO DIE!" James was also beginning to get in the same hysterics that Sirius was in.

This unsettling thought did not suit Sirius. "NO! I'm too HANDSOME and YOUNG to DIE!" He yelled.

Peter just glared at Sirius in jealously because Sirius is so much more handsome than he is.

James seemed to be thinking along the same lines, as he remembered, "And I sill haven't gotten Lily to go out with me! I can't die!"

But Sirius remembered something else. Something much more… stupid. "Wait a second!" He announced loudly. "We can sustain ourselves by eating the dirt out of this passageway!"

"Err, actually…" Remus began smartly—but he was cut off by a stupid person agreeing to Sirius's equally stupid idea.

"That's a great idea, Padfoot!" commented James, who was running full speed at the rocks and dirt of the cave wall, his mouth wide open.

"No Prongs! Not that way!" Sirius corrected him. "We're humans, we can use spoons!" And he then pulled out about a dozen spoons out of his pocket.

"Good thinking!" James said as he grabbed a spoon.

"You guys, you can't EAT that—you'll get—." But Remus was again cut off from finishing his sentence.

"Moony's right! We can't eat this without salt!" James declared happily, and Sirius, smiling, pulled a salt shaker out of his pocket.

"Merlin's beard…" Remus muttered to himself, shaking his head sadly in spite of his friends' sanities.

"Where do you get all this stuff, Padfoot? Oh well!" James asked, getting himself ready to eat away the dirt and boulders that were blocking the passageway. Sirius just shrugged in reply.

"You know, I really regret skipping now," Peter said truthfully.

"Well, no offense," Remus said, "But you're the only one here to skips."

"I skip classes," James brought up. "Does that count?"

"No," answered Remus, "it's not the—."

"Well I think it should!" Sirius piped up. "I mean, they both are around the same lines of 'skipping'…"

"I don't understand!" sobbed Peter. "I just like to skip!"

"Take this spoon, Wormtail!" Sirius offered him a spoon, and Peter took it. "Dirt clears the mind!"

Peter just glared at the spoon. "So… hungry…" he mumbled, staring fixedly at the piece of silverware. "ARG!" And he ate the spoon in desperation. "NEED MORE!" And he ate all of the spoons that were in the cave.

Remus had sat himself down, and he mumbled to himself, "And now, we have all officially gone insane…"
