James Potter spit out his water, at a joke Sirius had just said at Severus Snape's expense, so the front of his robes were now wet and dripping. Remus, who was sitting next to James, tried to hold in his laughter, causing him to snort into his pudding. Peter, from across Remus was grinning broadly at Sirius. Lily, however, gave James a revolted look and stared at his now wet robes, from a little ways down the table. He grinned at her and she looked away, rolling her eyes.

"So, what's on the agenda for us Marauder's tonight?" Peter asked.

"Oh you know, the norm; set potions lab on fire, turn Dumbledore's hair green, make Marlene McKinnon cry…" Sirius said, grinning at James.

"Oh, shut up, it was an accident! I didn't know her mom was actually dead!" James said, frowning, "But, anyway, let's just go back to the Common Room and hang out." He suggested.

Sirius groaned, "Yeah, right, you mean you'll bore us to death by talking about Lily all night." James stuck his tongue out at Sirius.

"Oh, real mature, James." Remus said and picked up his school bag. The others followed his example and they walked out of the Great Hall. They had walked halfway up the steps, laughing and joking when the staircase lurched and started to change course. They all gripped the railings.

"Bloody hell!" Sirius yelled, "What's going on?"

"The staircases change." Remus said, looking around, as the staircase stopped.

"Er…now what?" Peter asked.

"I guess we get off here and try to find our way to the Common Room." Remus said.

"Ooo, an adventure!" Sirius said in a sing song voice. James hit him over the head, and Sirius frowned, fixing his hair.

They started down the hall, "Er…anyone ever been down here?" Peter asked dragging his bag down the hall. James, Sirius, and Remus shook their heads.

"Well, we might as well explore while we're here." Sirius said, a glint of excitement in his eye, an evil grin hinting at his lips.

"Wow, with a look like that, I swear you should have been in Slytherin." James said, without thinking.

Remus and Peter quickly stopped walking and looked at the other two boys, realizing James's slip. Sirius's smirk abruptly left his face and he stopped walking.

"Oh my Godric Gryffindor, Sirius…I-I didn't…I wasn't thinking." James said, looking immensely guilty.

Sirius swallowed and let out a forced and very fake laugh, "Hey, I'm used to that, I hear it all the time at home." He continued walking and Peter ran to catch up with him. Remus, however stayed behind. "I…I didn't mean…I wasn't thinking…" James whispered and Remus nodded, "I know." He whispered back. They walked down the hall and took a left, still not knowing where they were going, and now the silence was unbearable.

"Er…did you know that every time there is an awkward silence a gay baby is born?" Remus said, trying to lighten the mood. Peter burst out laughing and Sirius grinned. James let out a small breathy laugh but, his head was faced towards the ground.

"Where do you get this stuff?" Sirius asked chuckling; he looked over at James, "Hey mate, apology accepted, sorry I freaked…no worries." James looked up, smiled and walked up to Sirius, followed by Remus.

"Hakuna Matata," Peter said and the other three boys stopped walking again and looked at him with looks of utter confusion on their faces, "Oh, it's from a…er…muggle movie…The…Lion…King…" he trailed off towards the end, coughed and started walking.

Remus chuckled, shaking his head and followed. Sirius looked sideways at a door and grinned, "Come on, we might as well explore when we're here!" he said, opening the door. From a second he looked shocked, then he cat called and another evil grin spread across his face. Remus went over to the door, gave a look of disgust and slammed the door.

"Yeah, real good idea, Siri." Remus said, rolling his eyes.

"Right, not the best room at the present time, how about that one Jamesy?" Sirius said and James shrugged and opened it. To their complete shock, a vampire came sauntering out, James shouted and cowered behind Sirius.

"What the-?" Sirius said as it turned into Sirius's father.

"It's a boggart, it turns into what ever we fear the most, you have to-" Remus said and Sirius frowned at him.

"You finish it off then if you're so smart." Sirius snapped. Remus looked hesitant and walked towards it and it turned into a full moon, his face dropped and he looked distressed, "Riddikulus." He said quickly and it turned into a balloon. He grabbed it and shoved it back into the tiny room.

"What are you doing?" came a voice from down the hall, causing the four boys to jump, it was Slughorn.

"Oh, sir, we got lost, the staircases they-" Peter said.

"Ah, no need to say more, looking for your Common Room?" he asked and they nodded, "Follow me, boys." They followed him in silence but, Remus couldn't help but notice that Sirius was giving him apprehensive looks the whole way there.

"I'm telling you she did…" James said lying down on a couch in the Common Room, "She told me yesterday."

"She did not!" Sirius said, rolling his eyes, he looked around the room and his eyes lit up, "Well, what do you know, there she is, I'll ask her right now." He said, getting up from his armchair, "Hey, Mary-Anne, did you tell Potter here that Lily liked him?"

Mary-Anne gave James a look, "No, why?"

Sirius smirked and sat down, "Never mind, don't worry about it doll." She turned slightly red and went back to talking with her friends.

"Ok, ok, so Mary-Anne didn't tell me that Lily liked me, but I know she does." He said ruffling his hair.

"Right, James, right" Sirius said snorting.

"Hey, guys, I was thinking…" REmus said.

"Uh oh, this isn't going to be good." Sirius said, feigning frightened.

"Ha Ha, no really, how about we plot out a map of the whole school, including those secret passageways you two always seem to find." He nodded his head towards James and Sirius.

James smiled, "Hey, that's not a bad idea."

"But, won't it take forever to plot everything?" Peter asked.

"Oh, don't be such a killjoy, Pete, it's a great idea, Remmy." James said, grinning.

"We can start after the holidays, ok?" Remus suggested and James nodded.

Remus got up and stretched, "Well, I'll be right back, I'm going to change into my pajamas."

Peter got up, "I'll come too." Remus smiled and they walked up the stairs to the boy's dorms, leaving Sirius and James behind.

"Finally, we're alone." Sirius said leaning forward.

"O, Sirius I didn't know you felt that way about me." James said, jokingly.

"Oh, ha ha, no I'm serious." He said in an undertone.

"Well, mate, I've been best friends with you for three years, I think I know your name."

"James! I'm not joking right now, listen to me!" Sirius snapped and James was so taken-aback he shut up for once.

"Thank you," Sirius said and whispered, "I think Remus is a…well, this is going to sound crazy…I think he's a…well, a werewolf."

James let out a bark of laughter, "Yeah right, and I'm the Giant Squid!"

"James, stop, I'm not kidding."

"No way, Remus wouldn't hurt a fly…he's not…werewolf material."

"Fine, don't believe me." Sirius snapped and got up, walking through the portrait hole.

"Er…what was that about?" Peter asked as him and Remus appeared at James side.

"Um…nothing, a bit of homework he forgot to do…" James lied.

James was lying awake when he heard the door to the dorms open, "Sirius?" Sirius grunted in reply, "Look, sorry about early," he whispered so not to wake up the other boys, "But, I still don't think…you-know-who…well, no not you-know-who…I mean, well, you know who I'm talking about, is a you-know what…"

He heard Sirius sigh, and walk over to James's bed in the dark, "Here, maybe now you'll change your mind." He said, and James felt something heavy fall into his lap. He picked up his wand from the side table and muttered, "Lumos" and saw that there were now three books, all bearing titles of something to do with Werewolves, on his bed; he rolled his eyes, "Tomorrow, Siri, tomorrow." He pushed the books onto the floor, and rolled over to sleep.

((Well, that's it for now folks! Now, I couldn't think of James was afraid of so…I chose my favorite Creature of the Night…lol Anywho, I want to do a poll, who would want this to eventually become a Sirius/ Remus slash? Or do you want me to have Remus like Lily? Let me know, ok? Love you all –Mwah-))
