Chapter Four - The End of a Nearly Perfect Night

The four boys staggered their way back to their room, laughing their heads off and barely able to keep a straight face from the memories of the past hour. Slughorn's classroom crawling with live slugs that spelt out rude words in slimy trails, the moaning toilet on the first floor, the loo roll trailed all over the balconies of the third-floor staircase, all of the boys seemed more than pleased with their evening's work.

They crashed through the door to the common room singing loudly to an un-known song and slowly made their way up to their room. Remus shook his head as the other three started to dance strangely around the room, still giggling and tumbling, as he started to get ready for bed.

"Remus? What are you still doing here?" James said, barely managing to keep a straight face. Remus frowned.

"What do you mean? This is as much my room as it is yours?"

"Oh, I thought you'd be sharing with Professor Romulus tonight!" He said before erupting into a new fit of laughter, making Remus narrow his eyes at him.

"Mature." he said giving him an un-amused look. "How's Lily by the way?"

James stopped laughing and glared at Remus, they stayed glowering at one and other for a second, before breaking into uncontainable smiles.

"Well, that makes us even. I won't mention the Professor if you don't mention Lily, deal?" James extended his hand toward Remus who shook it, smirking.

"Okay." Remus said, quietly muttering under his breath, "For tonight at least."

"What was that?" James asked, letting go of his hand.

"Nothing." Remus smirked before landing on his bed with a sudden thump. "Man I'm so tired." the room suddenly went silent and Remus lifted his head to find all eyes on him, three eyebrows raised curiously, and a knowing smirk plastered on each of his friends faces. "What?" he said as the three looked at each other mischievously.

"Nothing." they all said slowly in unison, making Remus frown as they descended back into laughter. Remus shut his eyes and lay back down, resting his head on his hands.

"Whatever." Remus said, smiling to himself. They lay there in silence for a few minutes, and then something slippery crawled up Remus' arm and he jolted out of bed, screaming and yelping like a tiny girl. Sirius, James and Peter burst out laughing as Remus peeled the slug from his arm and flung it out of the window in a panicked mess. When Remus had thoroughly washed his arm, the laughter died down, and exhausted from such an eventful evening, they all drifted easily off into sleep. Before each of them dropped off, Sirius muttered "That was a good Halloween." the others just hmmm'd in drowsy agreement.
