Disclaimer: sadly I do not own Harry Potter or any of the Marauders.No matter how much i would love too.
Chapter 3
I woke up at my usual time which was around 6:00. I was never really a person who slept in, except when it was close to the full moon. James, Sirius, and Peter always said I was crazy; they didn't get up till around lunch time when there were no classes.
James, Sirius, and Peter. I smiled. I have the best friends in the universe. I wondered if Peter knew about me being a werewolf. Surely Sirius and James must've told him right?
I sat up in my bed and looked about the room. There were clothes, books, and candy wrappers everywhere. The house elves had given up on cleaning our room every day for about half a year now. I smiled again and got out of bed and went to the bathroom to take a shower so I could start this beautiful day.
Bacon. I wanted bacon. I entered the great hall not long after I had gotten dressed to get myself some. It was a decent time now and all of the early risers were eating their breakfast or reading the Daily Prophet.
I sat down in my usual spot where us marauders had taken the liberty of carving our names into the seats. I laughed at the thought. Not long ago James and Sirius had a little row with some 6th years about them taking our seats. They asked if our names were on the seats and well…now they are.
I grabbed some bacon, eggs and toast as I saw my owl Titania coming towards me without a bundle of mail. That's how it always was; I never got any mail. I don't even know why I have an owl.
I leaned over to pet her when I heard a shout coming from outside the Great Hall. I turned my head to see who it was as Titania hooted away; they really were making a racket.
I knew who it was even before I turned all the way around. Werewolves have a very keen hearing and sense of smell, you know. A red headed girl by the name of Lily Evans stormed in looking really annoyed as she was followed by none other than James Potter.
"Oh, come on, Evans!"
"No, Potter! Now get away from me before I hex you!"
"You know that you can't do magic in the Great Hall Evans."
I looked quickly up at the head table to see if any of the professors were there and surprisingly, there weren't any. I turned my attention back to James and Lily, who were now attracting the attention of everyone else in the Great Hall.
"Just go out with me already! Would you!?"
"Why can't you get it through your thick head, Potter? I don't want to go out with you, so stop asking me!"
With that she stomped away towards her friends at the end of the hall. James slowly made his way over to me and after carefully sitting down next to me, he grinned.
"One day, Remus, one day and I'll get her."
"Of course you will, mate." James has been in love with dear Lily since the beginning of the year and he has made no improvement whatsoever in winning her over. He is what I like to call a 'hopeless romantic'. But that's James for you, though he doesn't let it bother him much from what I could tell. He and Sirius could have any girl that they wanted, well, besides Lily that is.
Sirius and Peter had joined us now and were eating like they hadn't in days.
"Watt wi got'da do fo detencin?"
"Could you please not talk with your mouth full Sirius? It's disgusting." I said with a cringe as he swallowed.
"Yeah sorry, Moony." He smiled and winked at a Ravenclaw girl at the next table. "But how 'bout it? What do we have for detention do you know?"
"No I don't. McGonagall has yet to tell me."
"I think were just going to be cleaning the gum off the desks again. That's all we really do. Shouldn't be too bad." James said as he added jam to his toast and started to eat.
"Yeah, detention is a drag though. I mean think of all the things that we could be doing," Sirius said with a smirk.
"Why do you guys have detention?"
So Peter didn't know about me being a werewolf? Or was it just that he didn't know about us getting caught last night. I still have yet to figure out why he wasn't there.
"We got caught. Can you believe that Pete? The infamous Marauders have been caught by dear old Minnie." Sirius laughed, "We wouldn't have gotten caught if James hadn't started singing and howling."
"Hey! You started howling first!"
"Yeah, well, you didn't have to copy me, you copy cat."
"Whatever. Here comes Minnie now with our detentions, I bet."
I looked at her when she came round. She had a look of disapproval on her face when she approached us.
"Boys, here are your detentions. You will be cleaning out the bed pans in the hospital wing." She said as I stared at her with a disgusted look on my face when she added "Without magic."
"WHAT!?" James and Sirius yelled.
"Please, Professor, tell me you're joking."
"I am not, Mr. Potter. Now you, Mr. Black, and Mr. Lupin shall report for your detention at 6:30 today and tomorrow. Is that clear?" She said it with a stern look that plainly said that it had better be clear.
"Yes, Professor." We said in unison.
"Good then. I shall hear from Madam Pomfrey if anything goes wrong. Keep that in mind." She looked at Sirius straight in the eye as she said it and proceeded to walk up to the teachers table.
"Can you guys believe this? Bedpans." Sirius pretended to vomit over his food.
"This really is sick I must agree." At least I know now not to go out at night. Or at least not get caught.
"Ah! And she said no magic too! This is so not cool." James looked from me to Sirius, shaking his head as he did so.
"So, what am I supposed to do while you guys are gone?" Peter asked looking afraid for some weird reason.
"I dunno Peter. You can think of something can't you?" I said to him with a smile. Peter was somewhat dull, you had to push him to think for himself. It sometimes got annoying.
"Yeah, I guess so. I could probably do homework or something."
"See, there are things to do." The bell rang, signaling the beginning of classes. We grabbed our things and started to head out.
I heard James groan and mutter under his breath, 'Bedpans' as we got to the door. I looked at him and laughed as we hurried off to class.
