Ch. 11 Quantity vs. Quality

The boys loved their new invention. It was a relief to be able to explore the castle and not get caught out of bed. They were able to get out of the castle without being caught by Filch the caretaker. There were deep into their bet and nether one of the boys seemed to be about to cave. James told Sirius that this called for drastic measures.

"Ok what are we going to do?" Sirius's ask. James looked at him thoughtfully.

"You know Remus's secret stash?" James smirked. For a month the previous year they were looking for Remus's secret stash of chocolate. He warned them that if they touched his secret stash he would curse them.

"Yes" Sirius said wanting to know what his friend's plan was.

"Well I know where he hides it now. Why don't we say we eat it and put the wrappers on their beds" James said smiling as if this was the most genius plan in the world.

"You have a death wish! Remus would curse us so badly, we will be in the hospital wing for weeks" Sirius said groaning.

"The rules state, no magic retaliation" James reminded him. Sirius bit his lip in thought.

"Ok. But that's a lot of chocolate." Sirius said.

"We can share with other students or we can just through them out" James argued. Sirius chuckled.

"Let's do it" Sirius smirked.

"He'll be doing our laundry at the end of the week" James said determinedly.

The evil plan went as well as expected. James found Remus's chocolate in his bottom drawer. James explained he was looking for a shirt, which he didn't ask to barrow, and he found it the first few weeks of school. James and Sirius ate as much they could. They then took the wrappings and put them all over Peter and Remus's bed.

"BLACK! POTTER!" Remus roared. They were in the common room and Remus was in the dorm. It was amazing how loud he could yell. Usually he never yelled. They knew he was in trouble.

"He's seen it!" James panicked. They grabbed their books and quickly tried to make their escape but Remus was too fast. He grabbed James by the arm. He had a tough grip.

"Just had to bring my chocolate into this, haven't you?" He said furiously. Sirius laughed. The look on his face was priceless. He wished he had a picture of it. It was one of those embarrassing stories that were told over and over again.

"It's not funny" Remus said indignantly. He was pouty and defensive. There was the slightest hope that

"You never share your chocolate." James whined.

"Oh I'm going to do a lot of sharing. Don't you worry" Remus said through gritted teeth. There was a fierce look of determination.

"I think the bet just got a lot more interesting" Sirius said amused as Remus walked way. It was hilarious that Remus got so angry. He was always so evenly tempered. They knew that Remus was going to get them back. They just didn't know when and where.

Peter decided to spend a little quality time with Jack. At least that what he told them. Peter pretty much just spoke to Jack and walked with him class on occasion. James decided that it was time that Peter actually spends time with him.

"Come on Wormtail, it could be fun. We can invite him to eat with us at the Gryffindor." James said persuading him.

"Ok fine" Peter said reluctantly.

"You know Wormtail. You're lucky" Sirius said. He went over this speech many times in his head. Peter needed to hear it.

"Why?" Peter asked him.

"Your brother obviously loves you. He wants to spend time with you. I wish It was different with Regulus. James is an only child. Regardless of what the circumstances are he would be glad to have another sibling. I am also sure Remus doesn't like being an only child either. It's not going to hurt just spending time with him. He is not going to want to hang out with your for long" Sirius said taking a breath

"Your right. I'll invite him to eat dinner at the Gryffindor table tonight" He agreed. Sirius couldn't help but look at his little brother. He just sat their calmly eating. Did he have any friends at all? He also noticed Snape glaring Regulus. Sirius frowned. He better not pick on his little brother. He was a pain but he was Sirius's pain. No one can make annoy him like Sirius could.

"Well I have to Quidditch practice. Any of you guys want to come watch?" James asked. Remus and Peter shook their head.

"I'll go" Sirius said happily. Him and James finished their breakfast and went out to the Quidditch pit. James allowed Sirius a chance to ride his broom before practice James was surprised at how good of a flier he was.

"I'm aloud to fly, I just can't play Quidditch" Sirius explained.

"I think I would go nuts" James said truthfully. James tried not to talk about playing Quidditch to much because he thought it was a sore issue with Sirius. Sirius just shrugged it off. At half past 5 the whole team finally came. James spent two hours doing something he liked best.
