Calm down Sirius really, ignore him," Remus said to his friend, James and Sirius just came back from the great hall after seeing Severus Snape snogging Kristen Brack.
I mean I was on a date with her just last night," Sirius said disgusted.
I will have nightmares of this," Sirius said. "I mean they were all mushy and...And like ARGH" Sirius squashed his head in his pillow.
You are much worse Sirius believe me" James said.
Hate to tell you, but you have detention" Remus said smiling as both James and Sirius groaned.
With who?" James said.
McGonagall" peter said.
Argh that woman can't get enough of us," Sirius said.
And James you have detention with professor Slughorn" Remus said.
What! Separated detentions" James and Sirius shouted.
That's not all," Remus said, smirking
What?" James said.
Sirius has detention with Snape and you have detention with Evans," Remus said, Sirius looked horrified while James smirked.
Cool" James said.
What! That is not cool" Sirius said, "you got to be with one of the hottest girl in school while I have to be with a git"
Watch your words Sirius," James said.
Yeah...yeah never mention Evans is hot while you are present," Sirius said.
Just try to finish fast, full moon tonight" Remus said, James and Sirius nodded
Well shall we go" James said, Sirius glared at him then they both went to their separated detentions.
……………………………….
Sirius reached professor McGonagall's office and entered Snape was already there but professor McGonagall wasn't.
Well…well…well early aren't we black" Snape said.
Shut that mouth of yours" Sirius said sitting on the chair across from Snape.
What don't you like my mouth Black or are you afraid it will land on other one of your girls" Snape smirked as Sirius stood up but before he could do anything professor McGonagall entered the classroom.
Black Snape I am not in a mood for your childish games I have a meeting so you must behave you self do I make my self clear," McGonagall said.
Yes professor" both Sirius and Snape said
Now I want to clean the animal's cages, no magic," McGonagall said then left before they could object.
Never thought in my life I would see you Black scrubbing cages," Snape said. Sirius glared at him.
Why are you so quite black?" Snape said smirking.
I am not in the mood Snape," Sirius said glaring.
Why is that? Can it be that I just came back fr..." but Snape couldn't finish his sentence because Sirius had his both his hand on Snape's throat.
Don't even say her name Snape or I swear I will kill you with my bare hands" Sirius tightened his grip.
You couldn't" Snape said between breaths. Sirius knew Snape was right he glared again then loosened his grip Snape looked relived.
I will tell McGonagall," Snape said.
No you wont" Sirius said simply.
Why?" Snape glared.
Because you'll know what you get in return," Sirius said, his eyes flashed at Snape.
Oh really what is that" Snape dared.
Go to the whomping willow tonight you freeze it with the…."
…………………………………
James looked around in the class, he was alone he was going to go when the door opened and lily Evans appeared.
Sorry sir POTTER" Evans screamed when she saw him.
Really Evans, you don't have to call me sir," James said, he smirked as she glared.
Shut the hell up potter" Evans said.
I can't shut the hell, for a clever girl Evans you are disappointing me," James said. Evans glared at him.
Don't act all smarty with me potter," she said to him. Suddenly the door opened and professor Slughorn entered.
You are cleaning the cauldrons with no magic, I have a meeting so I have to go, and Evans you're in charge" professor Slughorn said then left the classroom.
How come he put you in charge?" James asked Evans.
Because I am the responsible one potter," Evans replied.
Why the last name basis," James said as lily started cleaning.
Because we have been calling each other like that since first year, now begin cleaning," Evans said.
Well there is a first time for every thing right," James said. He reached for the cauldron and started cleaning.
Please potter." Evans rolled her eyes.
What Evans can't you say a simple James" James whispered in her ear. Evans smiled seductively then she leaned forwards to his ear and said
"CLEAN." James winced.
Your evil lily" James said returning to the cauldrons.
Its Evans to you potter" Evans snapped. And so they ended the detention in silence.
……………………………….
On his way back to the common room, Sirius bumped into James.
James my boy how was it," Sirius said.
Horrible" James said.
Mine was great," Sirius said, James looked at him weirdly.
Yeah impossible but I pranked him, I told him to come to the whomping willow on full moon…" Sirius smirked but James's eyes widened.
Are you crazy?" James said in horror.
What I thought you'll laugh" Sirius said, James punched him.
Hey what was that for" Sirius covered his nose. James glared at him and then he began running to the common room.
James mate wait up" Sirius said trying to follow James.
………………………………
Stupid Sirius didn't he know it was full moon tonight, of course he knew, argh stupid stupid Sirius" James thought. He was running very fast to tell Remus behind him Sirius was trying to catch up with him.
Stupid, stupid Sirius" James thought again. At last, he reached the common room.
What's the password dear?" the fat lady said but before he could say it, the door opened and professor McGonagall appeared with Remus and madam pomfery.
Mr. potter ah and Mr. Black" professor McGonagall said.
Professor" both Sirius and James said, Remus looked at them then he went.
Come on Sirius we have to go fast" James said.
What aren't we spouse to wait for pro…?"
Sirius we have to stop Snape," James said
Why he deserves it," Sirius said, James punched him again.
No one deserves to die" James said.
I don't want him to die; I only want to scare him" Sirius said.
I don't have time for your stupidness Sirius," James said, he put his invisibility cloak on.
…………………………….
Lily couldn't sleep, she went to the bathroom and splashed her face with cold water, she tried to sleep again but she couldn't so she opened her transfiguration book and sat by the window. Today was full moon she liked full moon. She started reading when she noticed a figure walking outside, she closed her book, and suddenly the figurer fell on the floor with sudden force.
Oh my god" lily whispered as she recognized the round glasses. Lily wore her robes over her gown and was about to go out when she turned to her friend Eliza,
Should I wake her up? Of course she would know that black is untrustworthy" lily thought, she went to Eliza's bed and started shaking her up.
What do you want Sirius" he friend mumbled.
Gross, come on lizzy its lily not black" lily said. Eliza opened her eyes, she groaned.
What do you want?" Eliza said.
Its something about black" said lily. Then like a magic word, Eliza woke up and dressed in mater of seconds.
Come on lets go" lily whispered.
…………………………..
James was trying hard to hold Snape down, but Snape kept moving under him.
For god's sake Snape this is for your own good" James tried to say.
Is it potter, what are you hiding in there that is so precious" Snape said when he finally got away. James stood up he was going to attack Snape again when he heard some one call his name he turned to find Sirius.
Let him James it will be like going to a torture room" Sirius smirked as he said this but what he did not expect James punching him again.
What the hell." James, Sirius and Snape turned to see lily Evans and Eliza McKinnon.
Evans, McKinnon! What are you doing here?" James said.
We saw you attack Snape" lily said. James suddenly remembered about Snape and turned around to find… no one.
Bloody hell" James said. Snape must've went to the whomping willow because it was froze.
No…no…no" James said and started to run towards the tree before it unfreeze.
Potter wait" lily tried to follow but she stood stunned when James turned to a stag.
Did I just see what I saw?" she asked no body.
Meanwhile James was going through the tunnel, he saw Snape trying to open the door that led to Remus so he returned to normal.
Don't Snape" James shouted but it was too late, Snape had opened the door and now was standing stunned at the sight in front of him, Remus Lupin was just turning to a werewolf. Few moments pass where both James and Snape stood stunned.
Snape fast get out of there," James shouted but the werewolf must've heard him because he turned his head to them and growled.
Snape please get out of there," James hissed. The werewolf walked forward smelling the smell of flesh blood.
SNAPE" James moved forward and pulled Snape out of the way causing the werewolf's paws cut his cheek, blood spilled out. Snape looked in horror then he ran out.
The werewolf raised his paws again but James turned to the stag, the werewolf stopped in mid air. The stag then turned around and ran to the exit.
………………………...
Bloody hell Sir… black why did you do that" Eliza shouted at Sirius after he told them what he did.
H…how did potter do that" lily asked him. Sirius assumed the turning to a stag part.
Err…," he said not knowing exactly what to say. He was saved when Snape emerged from the willow.
Snape" Sirius whispered. Snape was looking horrified, he fell on the floor while running and stayed down.
Oh my gods Snape are you okay" lily ran to him behind her Eliza tugging at Sirius.
Leave me Mudblood I'm going to Dumbledore" Snape stood but Sirius came in front of him.
Black I am warning you," Snape hissed. Just then, James came out from the willow; his face was blooded and almost unseen.
James are you okay?" Sirius ran to James to help him up.
Wait Snape" James shouted at Snape.
What potter you almost got me killed I am going to Dumbledore"
What has he done to you?" James said.
Who peter, just the fact that he is a werewolf?" Snape said.
But… wait did you just say peter" James said.
Yes isn't he the one down there," Snape said.
What why do you say that" James said.
Because he is not here," Snape said. James looked around that was true peter was not there.
Where is peter Sirius" James glared at Sirius.
I… I left him in the common room" Sirius said.
God Sirius what happened to you today, first you tell him" James pointed at Snape" about the willow then you leave peter alone to sneak here"
I forgot" Sirius said.
Will you damn forget too much Black," James said. Every one looked at James, this was the first time in his life he ever called Sirius by his last name.
I am sorr…"
Don't even bother, sorry doesn't heal what you did to Remus, what do you think he will do FORGET that you told Snape about him" James glared at him.
Wait you mean Lupin was the werewolf" Snape said But as fast as he said that as fast as professor McGonagall appeared with peter.
Sorry she caught me sneaking" peter said.
All of you six follow me NOW" she glared at all of them then turned her back and started walking they followed her.
…………………………….
Sit down" professor McGonagall said to them in Dumbledore's office.
I won..."
Sit down Snape." No one ever saw professor McGonagall this angry she went to the back.
What the hell did you tell her?" Sirius said to peter.
Nothing mu…" but he was cut by professor McGonagall and professor Dumbledore's entrance, they both looked angry even professor Dumbledore who lost the twinkle of his eyes.
Is it true what professor McGonagall aid to me?" Dumbledore said.
Err…"
That she found you all near the willow where Remus Lupin was transforming to a werewolf." Every one was silent.
Where did this start?" Dumbledore asked.
From me sir" Sirius said after a long moment.
And?" Dumbledore said.
Snape sir"
Very well every one out expect for Mr. Snape and Mr. Black." Every one went out while Sirius and Snape stayed.
……………………………
The first few moment of telling the story were the longest moments in Sirius's life.
That's when detention finished, I went to the common room where I bumped into James," Sirius said.
Is that where Mr. Potter get in the picture" Dumbledore said.
Yes sir"
Professor if you please" Dumbledore sat to McGonagall. She walked to the door and called James, James's face was a little cleaner from blood.
We were telling the story when it was your time so why don't you join us" Dumbledore said. James sat down beside Sirius and started telling he reached the part when lily and Eliza came from behind them, so Dumbledore called them too with peter. They all told the story slowly and clearly.
Okay then I believe that none of you never thought for Mr. Lupin before doing what you all did" Dumbledore said. They all lowered there heads.
He will be told about this tomorrow," Dumbledore said.
WHAT he is going to stay here," Snape said.
All of you will have one-week detention for going out after curfew, but you Mr. Black you will have two months and week worth of detention" Dumbledore looked at Sirius with disappointment.
Leave all of you expect for Mr. Snape"
…………………………..
Look James I am really sorry" Sirius tried to say to his friend. Behind him lily and Eliza watched, beside them was peter.
Why don't you say that to Remus tomorrow?" James said turning to his friend, the two of them glared at each other. James turned around and went.
……………………………
The next two days was unusual for Hogwarts, for the first time the marauders weren't talking to each other, there was no pranks no fun. every one saw as Sirius never to seem get enough of snogging, James was not hitting on lily again, Remus never seem to get out from the library, and peter was always jogging around not knowing where to go. Two weeks passed by and nothing changed even the professors were getting board, another one passed, every one was watching closer but there was nothing at all, whispers followed the marauders around when almost a full month passed by. The marauders knew the full moon has got closer but the did nothing about it, it was just one day apart from full moon, the marauders sat in the great hall like normal but they knew in their hearts something was different. Remus was sitting alone with his book open when he felt someone sit beside him.
I am really sorry Remus, please I don't know what else to do" Sirius said to him.
You could leave me alone," Remus said.
Please Remus" Sirius said.
Leave me black." The students all looked at them; the first time they call each other by their last name.
Lupin get over it," Sirius said.
I don't want to Black," Remus said. McGonagall was about to stand but Dumbledore sent her a look that said leave it so she sat down watching them.
Sirius and Remus glared at each other, just then came James and peter.
It's time to forget it," James said.
So you are on his side, well of course you are you are his best friend" Remus said and turned to glare at James.
I am not taking sides Remus," James said.
I almost killed somebody and you want me to forget it" Remus said, the great hall eye's widened.
But you didn't" James shouted.
Luckily" Remus said. James glared at him the punched him hard.
You are my bet friend too Remus but you are stupid sometimes" James said.
I'm really sorry Remus," Sirius said. Remus looked around at them.
fine…just fine sit down" Remus said. James and Sirius smiled and they all four sat down, they looked at each other knowing that they just said things that the great hall shouldn't hear, then just like old times they read each other's minds and started laughing very hard.
They actually believed this," James said.
Great acting boys" Remus said. Soon the great hall laughed too.
