disclaimer; not mine
"I know who did it Sirius, I just don't know who." James said.
"She loves me Prongs, she loves me!" he cried.
"Padfoot do you realize that nothing I just said made sense."
"Nope! I'm not listening, because I'm in love Prongs!"
"Great I'm very happy for you." James said sarcastically. They were sitting in the living room of their apartment, Sirius wasn't really sitting, and he was hanging upside down, from a beam on the roof.
"Did you say something about who killed Lily's parents?" Sirius asked
"Yeah, you're a bit slow Padfoot."
"Shut up!" he laughed, "No seriously, what do you mean?"
"It's so familiar, whoever it was, I feel like I know them."
"Wow, no clues?"
"Not really, whoever it is, is small."
"I wonder who." Sirius said
"Padfoot, would you please take this seriously!"
"I am!" he replied
"I don't know what to do about it. I have to find out."
"I know you do. Have you been back to their house?"
"Yes. Everything came back, except I still couldn't figure it out."
"Maybe you should go back again."
"Why? I've already been there."
"Exactly, maybe you were looking so hard that you missed something."
"What? That doesn't make sense."
"Just do it. I'll come."
"Come where?" a voice asked, James turned his head, Sirius fell off the beam and landed on the floor with a thud. "Ow!" he said, he looked up and saw Lily, standing in front of them, placing her keys lightly on the table. "Come where?" she repeated.
"James and I are going back to the scene of the crime. We are going to have a woman's look for clues. We're going to be crime fighters!" Sirius announced, and then he saw the glare that James was sending his way, he just shrugged.
"James, don't. You didn't find anything last time, I doubt you're going to find anything this time."
"Fine." James said exasperatedly. Sirius frowned glumly; he wanted to be a crime-fighter.
That night when James went to sleep, he had a dream, a dream that was rather significant in some way.
"George, where are you?" a woman called, she was tall, she had familiar emerald eyes and graying blonde hair.
"I'm in the living room." A deep male voice replied, "I'm reading that book you asked me to look at."
"Oh, good, do you like it?"
"It's alright."
"Well can you finish that page and then change the light bulb in Lily's room?"
"Yes, dear."
"Oh my goodness! George, there's a rat! A rat! George help me!" the woman screamed, George sighed and got off his comfy seat on the couch, he walked into the kitchen to see his wife standing on a chair, a rat scurrying around the legs.
But then the rat changed, it was getting bigger, and bigger.
But then James woke up, he didn't find out what happened to the little rat. He wondered what it was all about; he thought it must have some significance to his mission. But he soon forgot all about it and went back to sleep, he didn't dream anymore that night.
The next morning James went out with Sirius, Remus and Peter. They were going to play quidditch on the pitch at Langston Park.
It was James and Sirius against Remus and Peter. Remus thought it wasn't a very fair match because Peter wasn't the best at flying or catching, and Sirius and James were brilliant. Remus was all right at flying but he found it hard to steer his slow broom and catch the quaffle at the same time.
The end result was obvious; James and Sirius won by a massive amount, and Peter fell off his broom eighteen times because the broom was almost twenty years old. So it was basically Remus playing against James and Sirius while Peter was thrown around by an ancient broom.
"Wormtail, where have you been lately? It's like we haven't seen you in months" Sirius asked,
"Um… I've been working." He said uncertainly,
"Working? You? Where?" James blurted out
"At a place… for my dad."
"Your dadhas been inSt. Mungos for nine years." Remus informed him,
"I've been…working…as a… cleaner… at St. Mungos." He said slowly, avoiding their questioning eyes.
"A cleaner?" Sirius burst out laughing, and then he shut up, "Sorry."
"Yeah, it's not permanent." Peter said, his watery eyes connected with James', a look of worry and anxiety overcame him. James didn't notice, Peter was usually anxious around the rest of the Marauders; he admired them, he saw them as superior. Peter grabbed his old broom and ran off.
"What's up with Peter?" Sirius asked,
"I don't know; he's been rather… distant lately." Remus said,
"Yeah, he has. Maybe he has a girlfriend?" James said, and then they all burst out laughing,
"As if!" Sirius said, between tears of laughter.
Peter ran back towards them, "Have you guys seen my silver ring?"
"What ring?" Remus asked
"You know the one I always wear."
"Oh, you mean the one you got out of a candy machine?" Sirius said,
"Yeah, that's the one."
"Nope, haven't seen it." James said,
"Okay, bye guys." Peter said, he looked at James with a look of worry and fear, and then he waddled away slowly.
