Chapter 5- Talks of Detention

Lily ran upstairs to her dorm room that she shared with Rorrie and Becks and had felt her world crumbling down around her. She had handled James Potter every other year why was this one the year he had gotten to her.

The boys walked down the hall and Sirius caught up with them,

"What happened? Did she catch you?" Do we have a detention? Who'd she tell? Binns? Slughorn? Buddley? (A/N Herbology also McGonagall is younger here obviously) Oh I know she told McGonagall didn't she?"

"It didn't exactly go-"Peter started

"As we planned." James cut in and Remus just nodded in agreement.

"What happened?"

"We all got detention except you and including Lily." James told him. "She seemed pretty upset."

"Wait!" Sirius cried in a hushed voice "Remus isn't tonight the full moon?"

"Yeah I have to go talk to McGonagall about that, I think she forgot in her… rage."

"Oh okay and what about Lily? She got a detention too didn't she?"

"Yeah," Remus said "she actually caught up with us-"

James butted in "like I said she's fast when she's mad!" he said nodding with a stupid look on his face as if he were talking to a small kindergartener that couldn't understand that she was 'fast when she was mad'.

"Yes we know that!" Remus said in apparent annoyance. "It was her first detention, looked like she was about to cry."

"Maybe I should talk to her…" Sirius said quietly.

"What SIRIUS! You can't do that!" Peter squealed reproachfully.

"And why not?"

"Because," Peter told him "you can't upset her then go comfort her. Why are you so attached to her anyway? I thought James was the one who had the cute little crush." Peter said. James turned to Sirius with an accusing glare to which Sirius rolled his eye and sighed.

"No, I don't have a 'crush' on Lily, we're just friends I like to look out for her." He told them.

"Hypocrite!" Remus exclaimed, "You like to look out for her- yet you torment her?" Remus looked at him.

"Well I gave my complete dedication to the Marauders." Sirius explained.

Peter snorted "Whatever, your wacked out if you ask me." Sirius glared as they passed the transfiguration room.

"Well I got to go" Remus told them "I've got to visit McGonagall for you-know-what…"

"See yah," James said with a nod.

Remus walked into the transfiguration classroom, he saw the room was empty, but it did not worry him as a marauder and a werewolf he had to visit the transfiguration teacher frequently and knew that she had an office the door resided behind her desk. This office had done a lot for him, other than being dished out detentions. This is where in the second year McGonagall completed her mission to be a cat, this witnessed by James and Sirius who had turned up for a detention. This discovery had led to James wanting to become an animagus to help Remus. Remus grinned- all those memories of glory, pride and trouble that lay in that office. He knocked on the door of the office.

"Come in!" called the transfiguration teacher. He opened the door. "AH Mr. Lupin, It's you, I know why you're here and yes you make have your detention in a week's time although please tell me what in the world was going on!"

"Thank you for giving me a different date for detention, but I'm sorry I can't tell you what happened." McGonagall looked at him skeptically "cant or wont?" Remus thought for a second,

"Both!"

"Feel free to explain."

"I won't rat out my friends and I made an oath to never tell a professor/any adult more than they already know which means I can'ttell you." Remus told her calmly. She looked at him and said,

"I see, you may leave." Remus turned to leave and she added "and tell Mr. Pettigrew it would be advisable to bring dragon hide gloves, he will be reporting to Professor Buddley. James and Lily on the other hand should report to me as main offenders."

"What makes Lily and James the main offenders?" Remus asked.

"I saw Lily attacking you boys and I'm sure James was the one who wrangled Lily so much she took the actions she did."

Remus nodded and turned around and walked out the door. Remus walked up to the fat lady and said the password (pinkle weed) and the common room presented itself in its normal layout. The Marauders were commanding the comfiest chairs by the fire pretending not to do homework- to keep up their social appearance, but doing it slowly but surely. Remus walked up to Peter and told him about the gloves, and then James asked,

"What about me?"

"You and Evans report to McGonagall at seven tonight she seems to have something rather grueling in store for you two."

"Between the two of them I should be fairly roasted by the time that detentions done!" James groaned.

"Oh the pain Prongs!! What are we going to do about tonight though? We can't leave Moony to himself." Sirius told James in a flourish Peter then piped up "He has to we're busy!"

"Don't be ridiculous!" James yelled in the loudest voice he could without anyone hearing them "Whatever we have to do we will be with Moony tonight." In his voice there was raw disgust at Peter's words. Sirius nodded

"I agree, I think we should all be there for Moony tonight!"

"Guys you don't need to skip detention for me, but I know I can't stop you so I officially give up trying to persuade you not to get in trouble on my part, anyway I have to tell Evens about her detention!" and with that Remus walked away.
