Remus chuckled, opening his office door and looking at Sirius, who was carrying a large bag of food in his jaws, his grey eyes twinkling merrily from behind his Animagus form's face. He felt a slight tingle in his hands and let Sirius in first before closing the door behind him. There was an ominous click and Remus blinked, looking at the door.

He hadn't locked it.

Sirius looked up, just having changed back into a human, and with a piece of chicken dangling from his mouth. He spit it out, calling, "Wuzzit, Moony?"

"I think the door locked itself," Remus replied, tugging on the door handle. The door didn't move. He then noticed the note on the nearby wall and grabbed it, reading aloud,

"Moony & Padfoot,

Have fun! Don't worry about your class, Moony. You won't be able to get out until you confess to Padfoot!

- Fulcio, Scientia, Carus, & Equitas -The New Marauders"

Remus blanched and tossed the letter into a nearby dustbin. "'The New Marauders?!' They're kidding, right? Please tell me that they're kidding, Padfoot!," he groaned, smacking his forehead with the open palm of his right hand and sighing.

"I dunno...Sounds pretty legit to me...They even have nicknames. Crappy ones, but nicknames nonetheless," said Sirius, picking the letter from the bin and uncrumpling it, re-reading it. "And what do they mean 'confess to Padfoot'? Confess what?"

"Er..."

"What?!"

"I-I...Um...Can't tell..You..."

"Moooooony! Tell meee!," whined Sirius as Remus sat down in a chair, red in the face. Sirius did his best puppy-dog pout, jumping into his best mate's lap.

"Er...Well..."

"TELL ME!"

"I LOVE YOU, YOU PRAT!," shouted Remus, then he clamped his hands over his mouth, turning a brilliant shade of maroon. Sirius stared at him in disbelief, falling to the ground with a thump!

"You...I...You...Huh?" Sirius was dumb-founded. Remus loved him? He blushed, then laughed. "Prat, I thought it was something horrible! Why didn'tcha tell me?," he asked, getting up and draping his arms around Remus' neck. Remus gaped.

"W-What?," he stammered, surprised and still a bit embarassed from his outburst. Sirius laughed and kissed Remus right on the lips, grinning as he pulled away and the door opened, allowing four teenagers to tumble into the room. A blond girl, a boy with very messy dark hair, a girl with bushy brown hair, and a red-haired girl. They all jumped up, and the boy pointed at them.

"I KNEW IT!," he shouted, then let out a mad cackle. Remus raised an eyebrow and Sirius fought back his own cackle of amusement, but the three girls looked unfased. (C/N: TRIBUTE TO ME AND MY FRIENDS:) Thanks for putting up with my insanity, friends! -huggles Colin, Jarah, Britney, Erin, Maggie, Katrina, and Franki- )

"He do that often?," asked Sirius, grinning.

"Yeh, Fulcio is pretty insane at times," said Hermione, placing a hand on top of Harry's head, and Harry snarled, snapping his teeth at her warningly. She blinked and pulled back.

"Fulcio, HUSH!," said Ginny, whacking Harry.

"OW! YOU'RE MEAN, EQUITAS!," wailed Harry, rubbing his head with a sniff.

"Please be quiet, Fulcio. You'll give us a bad name in the almighty Messrs. Moony and Padfoot's eyes," said Luna, her blue eyes twinkling with glee as Harry folded his arms, pouting.

"Hehehe! I get it! Fulcio is Padfoot, Scientia is me, Carus is Wormtail, and Equitas is Prongs!," said Remus, finally understanding. They all grinned, nodding.

"Got it in one!," said Hermione, grinning and holding up her index finger for emphasis.


READ AND REVIEW! -tosses Sylwithia and MoonyIsTheMan a bucket each of cookie points-

Heehee, OOC Harry is so much like me. He's too wrapped up in his victory to hold it all in. :)

Fulcio - Latin word for 'strengthen' - Harry
Scientia - Latin word for 'knowledge' - Hermione
Carus - Latin word for 'beloved' - Luna
Equitas - Latin word for 'justice' - Ginny

My Latin sucks, though, so I think those are wrong...
