Disclaimer: I own nothing!!!! Ok, over X-mas break I got more than 33 cents (finally) but I take no ownership even in my made-up characters! Well….I do…so don't take them or die!

A/N: Sorry for the uh…delay…I'll try not to let that happen again…

I don't think it matters. I really doubt that any of you were desperately waiting for the next chapter to come. And if you were: you are a strange person.

Summery: They finally arrive where their movie is playing, Padfoot is reunited with a friend, and there is Jewelry-Club chaos!

---------- ---------- ------------ ------------- ------------- ---

Chapter 4: Sneewus, Snuffles, and jewelry-club chaos.

James, Lily, Peter, and Remus were lucky: the movie didn't start for another 20 minutes. Therefore, they began yet another search for Sirius. They were in a big theater. About 15 other people were already seated and the lights were still on since the movie hadn't started yet.

They all walked down the aisle to see where Sirius was. Remus wasn't really paying attention because he was watching the advertisements on the big screen. A picture of a police officer came on and the screen read, "Hunts Drunk Drivers for a Living". Moony pointed this out to the others who all became equally confused (except Lily).

"Does he let them go? Or does he eat them?" asked James.

"I wonder if he uses their heads for trophies," said Remus who was remembering a deer's head that was hung in Lily's house and was shot by her father when out hunting."

Everyone backed away from Moony.

"What's a driver?" asked the always-clueless Peter.

Lily sighed. "You guys are impossible."

"What's that supposed to mean?" they all said.

Lily rolled her eyes. "Nothing

Their conversation was interrupted by someone yelling, "What do you think you're doing?!"

The four teens looked at each other. "Sirius," they said in unison.

They ran to the middle of the theater where they saw a bad scene. There was a girl about their age who was holding onto a little girl's arm. Sirius was holding onto the other arm. Each was pulling like they were in a game of tug-o-war. The little girl didn't seem to mind for some odd reason and was saying, "Weeeeeeeeeee!"

"Let go of her, you freak!" the older girl shouted.

Sirius either didn't pay attention to what she was saying, or he didn't care. "No!" he said stubbornly.

The four other teens came up to stop the craziness before one of the muggles in the theater called security. James and Peter went to make Padfoot let go of the little girl. They practically had to tackle Sirius before he let go.

"Hey!" Sirius shouted as he tried to get hold of the little girl again.

Meanwhile Lily and Remus (being the smart ones…sometimes) went over to apologize while the others tried to subdue Padfoot. It was then when they realized that the little girl was the one who taught Padfoot how to sing "The Wheels on the Bus" and she was trying to get back to him. Meanwhile the girl their age (who still thought Sirius was a weirdo trying to kidnap the 3 year old) was still holding onto her arm and looking at Padfoot warily.

Lily talked first. "Um…sorry about our friend. He's a little…" –she thought for a moment trying to put all the things Sirius was all into one word- "…weird."

"The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round, 'round and 'round, 'round and 'round…" Sirius sang, oblivious.

The little girl pulled out of the muggle-teen's grasp and ran over to Sirius to join in the song.

Remus looked over at the singing duo then back. "Don't worry, he won't steal her. At least I hope not." Lily coughed pointedly at Remus who continued. "Um…I mean…well he met-what's her name?"

The muggle looked at Remus as if trying to decide if he wasn't a weirdo also trying to kidnap someone and said "Erin."

"Ok. Erin," Moony continued.  "So he met Erin on a mug-I mean on a bus an hour or two ago and somehow they developed a friendship because of a… er… song." He said lamely.

The muggle girl looked at him with a raised eyebrow.  "A song?" she said skeptically.

"The wipers on the bus go SWISH SWISH SWISH! SWISH SWISH SWISH! SWISH SWISH SWISH!" Sirius and his new little friend sang.

"That song," said Lily.  "So we apologize for any inconvenience. Right, Sirius?

Sirius looked up.  "What? Um…sure."

"I guess it's ok," said the muggle.  "It's not everyday where some maniac's about to take the kid you're supposed to be babysitting away."

"Good. That's settled," said Lily not bothering to correct the muggle about Sirius being a maniac.  "Um…hi, I'm Lily. This is Remus." –she gestured towards the 3 other boys—"And that's James, Peter, and obviously Sirius."

"Hi," said the three guys.

"I'm Melanie," said the muggle now known as Melanie.

Everyone said, "Hi, Melanie!" sounding like one of those support groups.

James looked at Erin who continued the song with Padfoot. "Wait a minute, we got kicked off in front of the theater and the bus just left us here. How did she get here so fast?"

Lily rolled her eyes (yet again) "Have you forgotten the hour we spent at the crane game waiting for Sirius to get his teddy?"

"Oh. I forgot about that"

"Obviously. Wait…are you her sister then?" she said turning again to Melanie.

"Nope. 'Sitter.  Her parents are off seeing some weird R- rated movie so they asked me to take her to a more appropriate movie for her to see.

"But this is PG-13"

Melanie sighed. "I know. But compared to the movie her parents are seeing, this is a G movie about a happy little bunny named Fluffy. Plus I really wanted to see this movie." She added guiltily.

The guys looked up. "So…what movie are they seeing?" asked Peter. The other boys nodded eagerly.

"Please don't tell them," said Lily. "You will only encourage them.

Melanie looked around so she could change the subject. "How about we find our seats then?"

The group of 7 now got into an argument on where to sit. Three of them wanted to sit in the front and another 3 wanted to sit in the back. Peter wanted to leave so he could see Shrek.

The teens finally decided on sitting in the middle of the theater in the middle row. They sat in this order: Melanie, Erin, Sirius, James, Lily, Remus, Peter. That way, everyone was happy. Except for Peter. He wanted to leave.

James looked at his watch. "Aw…we still have 10 minutes left!" he complained. Then his stomach grumbled. "Lily, what happened top those snacks you were making?"

"What snacks?" Lily asked confused.

"When we were watching that show before the evil bug attacked, you were making us food!"

"Oh, those snacks," Lily said. "Wait a minute! I left the stove on! Oh no!" she said looking around nervously as if one of them knew how to turn to stove off from far away without a wand.  Her panic turned into anger. "This is all your fault!" she yelled at the guys.

"What did we do?!"

"You blew up the television and distracted me! You better pray that Petunia was smart enough to turn the stove off. And you are begging for a miracle if you want Petunia to be smart."

Sirius and Peter were on their knees and were looking at the ceiling saying, "Please let Petunia be smart enough to turn the stove off."

Lily sighed. "So who is volunteering to get food?"

"I will!" said Peter and Sirius at the same time getting off the floor. They both ate the most and were hoping for the most food.

Erin jumped up. "I wanna go if Siwees goes!" she didn't know how to pronounce Padfoot's name.

"Oh no you don't," said Melanie. "The last time I took you too a movie you ran off and sat on an old guy's lap thinking he was Santa"

"But he was Santa! He had a really long white beard!"

"But he wasn't fat. And he had glasses. That doesn't sound like him to me. Just because someone has a beard, it doesn't mean they're Santa."

"But haven't you ever seen 'The Santa Clause'?  Santa starts out skinny! Then goes fat during Christmas time!  And he gave me that dolly I wanted! Remember?"

"First of all, I don't think 'The Santa Claus' worked that way, and second of all-"she thought for a moment.  "That thing about the doll was pretty weird though.  The doll she wanted was sold out in all the toy stores, then Poof! Some random person just pulls one out of his pocket! Then he asked us if we wanted a lemon drop for crying out loud!"

The Marauders and Lily exchanges glances. The muggles better not be talking about who they thought they were talking about.

Since Erin going to get food with them was out of the question, Padfoot had no choice but to stay in the theater.

"Um…I'll go with Peter to get the food," said Remus who was trying to change the subject. Since Erin going to get food with them was out of the question, Padfoot had no choice but to stay in the theater. Then he turned to Lily. "I don't have mug—I mean I spent all my money on my ticket."

Lily gave him a death glare. "I'm going to be broke now! I pay for the bus, the 50 crane games, the tickets, and now the food! I was going to go shopping with that, you know.  That money was saved from my birthday and last Christmas!"

James was glad she didn't go shopping with that money.

Lily handed the two Marauders her last $20(why she had that much money with her, I do not know. Let's just say Mr. and Mrs. Evans were rich) and they left the theater.

Lily leaned back in her seat and sighed. "I'm broke. This is just great. Maybe I can steal some money from that girl I am forced to call a sister."

Meanwhile Padfoot returned to his seat next to Erin who said, "Hi Siwees!"

"No, it's Sirius."

"Seeweeis"

"Seer-e-us"

"Sneewus"

"Sirius"

"Snivellus"

Sirius looked at Erin wide-eyed. James fell off his chair laughing. That wasn't a smart thing to do. The floor was sticky.

Sirius kicked Prongs and tried again. "Sirius"

Poor Erin had no idea how to say it. "Sneerwees"

"Sirius!"

"Snuffles"

This time Melanie started to laugh.

"WHAT NOW?!" yelled Sirius who was tired of being laughed at.

When Melanie finally calmed down she said, "Snuffles is her dog's name." Then Lily joined in laughing.

Sirius however, was thoughtful. "Snuffles it is!" he announced.  Anything associated with dogs had to be good!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Remus and Peter were getting lost.

"I think we came from this way," said Peter, pointing to the left.

"But I thought we came from the other way."

"I know! Let's go straight! That way, neither of us will be wrong!"

"Um…sure."

They walked straight which led right into theater #8. Little did they know that #8 was showing Shrek. They opened the door and walked about 3 feet when they heard:

"There's an arrow in your butt!" "Well, would you look at that?"

"I'm outta here."

"Right behind you."

They ran right out of the theater, turned left, and ran down the hall into #5. This theater was showing Pirates of the Caribbean. This time they heard: But why is the rum gone?

"Because Padfoot drank it all," said Wormtail.

"This isn't right either! Why can't we find the stupid food stand?!" yelled a frustrated Remus.

They ended up visiting 3 other theaters. The movies were The Ring, Terminator, and another showing of Lord of the Rings. Peter still believed it to be about a jewelry club.

"Muggles think of strange movies," he said.

After exiting yet another theater, the two guys smelled fresh popcorn.

"Food!" they yelled and sprinted away.  They followed the smell and finally made it back to the lobby. Soon they found the line for snacks. Remus took the $20 bill out.

"That doesn't look like money. Are we supposed to trade it for food?" Asked Peter.

"That's what you do with money," said Remus.

"Oh yeah."

"Can I help the next person in line?" said the guy at the register who was just a teen working at a theater as his summer job.

"Oh, we don't need help," said Wormtail. "We wanted to buy food."

"Uh…that's what I meant," said the cashier.

"Well you should have said that in the first place!" said Peter.

Remus stomped on Peter's foot and went to order while the other teen was jumping up and down on one foot. He looked up at the menu above the popcorn machine.

"How big is the Jumbo Popcorn?"

The cashier disappeared for a moment behind the counter then came up holding a big bucket for popcorn.

"That's good…I think. And we'll have…"

"Snow Caps!" said Peter who found himself looking at the candy. "And gummy bears! And whoppers! Um…and a super-sized slushy!" He had no idea what half of them were, but they all sounded good.

The cashier added up the total on the register and said, "That would be $23.00."

Remus held out the $20.

"That's $20. You need about 3 more."

"But we don't have more"

"Then you have to get rid of one the items"

"Why?" asked Wormtail.

"Because you don't have enough money," said the cashier.

"Can I borrow some money then?" asked Peter.

"No…"

Remus noticed the growing line forming behind them and said, "Just get rid of some of the candy already!"

"But I want all of it!" Wormtail complained.

"Well you can't have all of it! And we have to hurry up! The movie starts in 2 minutes!"

"I don't even want to see that stupid jewelry club movie! Who would name a movie Lord of the Rings?! It's stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! I bet that the movie is stupid and I bet the people in it are stupid and I bet the books Lily was talking about are stupid! I bet the person who made these was stupid!"

The cashier glanced at the line and then whispered to Wormtail, "I'd run if I were you."

"What? Why….? Oh"

There whole line behind them was made of obsessive Lord of the Rings fans. Each one was giving Peter a death glare that could outmatch present-day Snape's. They looked like they were about to attack.

"Eep."

Remus thought fast. He shoved the popcorn in Wormtail's arm, picked up the slushy, snocaps, and gummy bears, threw the whoppers at the cashier, ("Keep the change!") and screamed, "RUN!"

"Get him!" yelled a random fan-girl.

As the 2 Marauders sprinted out of the lobby, the crowd followed.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Meanwhile, the remaining teens in the theater (plus Erin) were completely clueless about the chaos going on outside. James, Sirius, and Erin were having the time of their lives while Lily and Melanie were just getting annoyed.

Erin got bored of the bus song. Because of that, Prongs taught them how to sing "Denny's, Wendy's…"

A lot of muggles were starting to stare at them. Melanie turned to Lily. "Do they do this a lot?"

"You have no idea."

Before the trio could finish the second verse of the song, half of the lights in the theater went out.

"AHHHHH!!! DEMENTORS! EVERYBODY RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" James screamed on the top of his lungs.

"Shh!" said someone in the back row.

"Dementors…?" asked Melanie, confused again.

"Um…James has ADD," said Lily "He gets distracted sometimes. Right James?"

"What's ADD?" asked James.

"Never mind," said Melanie focusing on the screen and forgetting James's disorder.  "Just be quiet. The previews are coming and they're the best part!"

Before James and Sirius could ask where the dementors were, the screen suddenly lit up.

James and Sirius screamed again.

Screen:

Welcome to Destinta!

"Thank you!" said James.

Please no talking!

The Marauders shut up.

Turn off all cell phones!

Sirius piped up (forgetting the no-talking rule) "what's a cell phone?"

Melanie wondered if they were being stupid on purpose.

Please don't smoke!

"Darn!" said James pounding a fist on his knee.

"What?!" Lily said.

"Just kidding!"

"You better be."

Enjoy hot popcorn and cool drinks at the lobby!

"Moony and Wormtail are already getting them! Stupid screen."

"Shut up James."

Suddenly the screen went blank and the audience waited for the previews to start.

-------- -------- --------- --------- ---------- -------- --------

PLEASE REWIEW!!!!!!!! if you do, you get virtual butterbeer!(everyone else gets acidpops. Watch out.)

Next Chapter: Previews!

I spent lots of time trying to think of a good name for the 3 year-old and finally decided on Erin.

Reason: I know a 4 year-old named Erin and she's really small and cute and has no idea I'm using her name in my story.

Congrats again to Melanie.
