"Ahh… another successful day for the Marauders…" Sirius said as he, James, Lily and Remus made their way down James's street. (Peter was visiting some relatives for the weekend)

Lily snorted. "All you managed to do was chat up some muggle and get pizza sauce all over your face. How is that a success?"

James and Remus laughed but Sirius looked dumbstruck.

"How is that a success? How is that NOT a success?!" he asked in awe. "I got to talk to a hot girl-"

"Who you'll never see again," Lily interrupted.

"And get brilliant pizza!" Sirius finished. "And that, is completely beside the point."

Remus shook his head in amusement. Lily had been an official Marauder for no more than two weeks, and every time they went out, she and Sirius fought about something. Most of the time this consisted of Lily patronizing Sirius and Sirius attempting to come up with some sort of witty comeback… and always failing miserably.

"Hey James, are we still on for film night?" Remus asked, more to stop the oncoming argument than anything.

James shrugged. "Sure if you guys still want to."

"Course we do Prongs! It's tradition!" Sirius shouted, completely forgetting his argument with Lily. "C'mon Moony, I'll race you back to James'!" And with that he took off running towards a house near the end of the street.

Remus sighed but sprinted after him anyway, quickly overtaking him a few houses down.

James seized the opportunity to take Lily in his arms and kiss her.

She happily replied, but after a few more moments looked up at James.

"So what's film night?" she asked.

Lily could see James turning a bit red.

"Well it's just this thing we've been doing for… well… forever… where we watch a muggle film and eat sweets and stuff… You can come if you want." James sounded hopeful.

"I'd love to come!" she said. "What film are you guys watching?"

"Dunno… It's Sirius's turn to pick…"

"NO," Remus said from his seat on the couch in James's living room. "Absolutely not."

"Awww… c'mon Moony… please!!" Sirius said, hugging the video to his chest, and hopping up and down.

"We are NOT watching 'An American Werewolf in London', and you do know you look like an idiot, right?"

Sirius stopped hopping and walked over to Remus.

"Please Moony, for me?" He said, making his eyes as wide as possible and sticking out his lower lip in a pathetic looking pout.

"You know Sirius, puppy dog eyes only work when you're actually a dog." Remus said sarcastically. But he seemed to be trying with all his might not to look at Sirius.

Sirius's eyes seemed to light up and an evil grin spread slowly across his face.

Remus noticed.

"Oh crap…" Remus slowly began edging his way towards the door. "No Sirius, don't even think about it… If someone walks in…"

But it was too late. Sirius dropped the movie and leapt at Remus, transforming into his animagus form mid-jump. He knocked him clean off his feet and commenced to drown Remus's face in doggie slobber.

"Blech… gross Sirius! C'mon, get off me!! GET OFF!!" Remus shouted. But Sirius just sat down on his chest, made his eyes as wide as possible, and stared down at him.

"I'll get you for this…"
