It's me again, doing another Harry Potter one shot…. Yeah, that's about the best commitment I can make… I have trouble keeping up with multi-chapter fics, though I haven't given up on them! This one is just a bit of fun between friends. When I refer to 'Diggory' I'm referring to Cedric's mother. Let's just say his father's last name was icky and he took hers instead. I wrote this before I saw the movie so I find one of Sirius' lines kinda funny…
Just a Little Blackmail between Friends
"Damn it, Sirius! If you step on the back of my shoe one more time, I swear…"
"You swear what, Moony?"
"Careful Sirius, Moony's PMSing…"
"Oh, almost forgot, Prongs."
"I am not PMSing!"
In unison, the two black haired boys said "Post Moon-al Syndrome!"
Remus sent the duo a sharp glare, the one Peter claimed put McGonagall to shame.
James and Sirius attempted to keep a straight face, but seeing their peaceable friend with so murderous a look in his eyes was too funny. As the two fell into a fit of laughter, Remus threw the invisibility cloak off of himself and began to storm off down the hallway.
Laughter abruptly stopping, James and Sirius shot forward, taking him by the arms and pulling him back under.
Remus swore loudly, startling the Hufflepuff ghost who had just rounded the corner. Two pairs of hands were thrown over the irate werewolf's mouth until the ghost finished inspecting the area. Finally, they were removed.
"James Potter, if you do not let me leave this instant, I will tell Lily just what happened to her Standard Book of Spells Grade Seven!"
The color drained from his face and James stepped back, nearly sending Sirius sprawling. "You…You wouldn't!" he stammered.
"Oy, Prongs. What did you do to her book? You never told me…"
"If I told you, Pads, you'd hold it over me for the rest of my life…"
Remus smirked. "Do you want to know, Sirius? Do you really want to know?"
Gray eyes swiveled in his direction. "Do tell, Remmy…"
"Remember when James…"
"You tell him, Remus, and I'll tell that Ravenclaw girl that you've got the hots for her!"
"Which Ravenclaw girl?" Sirius demanded as Remus colored.
"I do not!"
"That's not what that blush on your face says!"
"I do not like Diggory!"
"Diggory!" Sirius exclaimed. "The one who's almost as obsessed with Quidditch as our little Jamesy? Moony, she's the enemy!"
Remus was silent, glaring down at his holey shoes.
James and Sirius exchanged a knowing look, grinning at one another.
His gaze shot up at them while his fists clenched at his sides. "Don't you even…"
"Moony and Diggory, sittin' in a tree!"
"Lily's book, Bella's cat!"
"Who told you about that!" Sirius demanded, speaking of the cat.
"Oh, come on, Padfoot. Cat's don't randomly sprout mice on the ends of their tails for the hell of it."
"Mice?" James prompted, his good humor returning. "Brilliant, Sir!"
Sirius offered a mock bow.
Remus cleared his throat and looked from one to the other. "So, are we even?"
James held out his hand and Remus and Sirius placed their own atop it. "I solemnly swear, "he began, the other two chimed in, "that I'm up to no good." The bonds of camaraderie having been reformed, the three began off once more towards the Slytherin Common Room….
Well, I hope you enjoyed it; I certainly enjoyed writing it. I just want to get a few laughs, you know? If you want, please drop me a review!
