Moony what are we doing?
That would be Charms my good friend.
You're not Moony.
Yes well Moony's too busy doing his work to care.
Not true!
So true.
I'm just doing my work, that doesn't mean I don't care.
How do we get this to work anyway? It's not turning out right for me.
Well you start by turning your wand the right way around.
O.o
It is… isn't it?
No Wormtail, the wand tip is meant to be facing the book, not your face.
Oops
Yes well. Shush now.
What's wrong with you Moony?
Is it that time of month again?
Poor Moony…
Stop calling it that! And no, it's not for another week and a half I'm just trying to work, so shush!
He's a bit sensitive today.
Padfoot I think Moony needs some therapy…
Yes I do agree with you there.
I definitely need therapy after six years with you two!
What did we do?
What's wrong with-with Remus?
Moony's just a little moody Wormtail, that's all.
(Sighs) never mind...
But w-why?
I don't know Wormtail just shut up!
If only you could take your own advice...
Geez Padfoot who's got your knickers in a twist?
Shut up, both of you.
Oh but Padfoot its so much fun teasing you.
Hehehe, too true.
Moony aren't you meant to be RESPONSIBLE?!
Moony what's wrong with Padfoot?
He's a bit sulky right now.
Awww did Lily cancel on you Pads?
(Smirks) actually the exact opposite, we figured out a date today.
WHAT?!
Wait huh? Padfoot?
And you didn't tell me?!
And Lily?
I was going to but I felt bad for you man.
Bullshit.
WHAT?!
We had a bet, we wanted to see who Lily would rather date, me or Padfoot.
Poor Lily, and I'm guessing she chose Pads?
Yep!
Why did she pick Padfoot over you Prongs?
I don't bloody well know Wormy.
Because I'm much better looking,
And smarter,
And funnier,
And buffer,
And sexier...
Are not!
Am too.
She's only using you to get to me.
Then why didn't she just accept you in the first place?
She's playing hard to get.
For six years?
Ok both of you SHUT UP!
Yes she is!
…?
Okay then, really hard to get.
(Sighs)
See, even Moony knows it's hopeless!
It is not!
Is too (sticks tongue out).
Very mature Padfoot…
Why thank you.
James why don't you just give up on her?
Because- because it's Lily!
And he's obsessed.
I am not!
Are too.
Am not.
We established this yesterday, you so are.
Am not.
Are too.
Am not! I was just lucky yesterday.
Guys! Get over it!
No.
No.
Fine then...
Not until we agree that I'm not obsessed!
What knickers is she wearing today?
Why would I know that they're rainbow? I mean I don't know!
(Looks disgusted) you know what colour they are?
How?
It's a little thing called a shiny shoe (smirks).
Bra?
Blue and lacy.
I don't even want to know how you know that…
Once again, I rest my case.
Meanie…
Soooooo, what's professor Flitwick on about now?
Cheering charms, I think.
Wormtail! It's an explosion charm!
Ohhh right. Uh-oh…
BOOM!
Well he's knocked out...
(Back to voices)
"BLACK TAKE HIM TO THE HOSPITAL WING!" shouted Flitwick.
"Fine..."
"Sucker!" whispered James.
"But I'm gonna get a back injury from this" said Sirius as he began dragging Peter out of the room.
James was snickering quietly so Sirius thought of a little something to rile him up a bit.
"Hey Lily, Saturday don't forget" he said to her winking.
"Ok" she replied smiling.
"Egotistical bastard" muttered James viciously.
Sirius laughed quietly so that only James would hear.
(Back on parchment)
Calm down Prongs…
He started it.
(Sighs) I know, I know but what are you gonna do? It's Padfoot.
Play a little prank (laughs evilly).
Prongs? What's going on in that little brain of yours?
Nothing, nothing at all… and my brains not little.
Prongs...
Only a little bit of revenge, just a tiny bit.
Prongs...
What?
You know what. You are not going to sabotage that date!
And why not?
Because he got that date fair and square, it's not right to sabotage it!
He didn't get it fair and square, he cheated.
How?
He made her say him.
HOW?!
The Imperius curse! Or- or a potion!
James you know he wouldn't, not to mention couldn't, do an Unforgivable curse for something as stupid as a bet, and he's completely useless at Potions!
Yes he could, well the curse anyway.
How do you figure?
Well think about it, his whole family is evil!
That was mean Prongs. You know how ashamed he is about his past and blood.
I don't mean it like that…
Yes you did.
I know, I'm sorry I guess I just overreacted. I just- I love Lily so much and I can't stand to see her with someone else, even my best friend – no – my brother.
I know Prongs, I know. But he's just trying to look out for you.
Now how the hell do you figure that?
I think that he thinks that if you think that Lily is definitely not interested then maybe you'll give up and spare yourself a lot of grief.
Wow. That actually made sense…
Yes it did… now, what were you planning for Sirius? (grins evilly).
I thought I wasn't allowed to do anything.
Prongs both you and I know that the evening is probably going to end badly anyway and they definitely weren't meant to be together, and I think you might actually have a chance with her… but if you two don't end up together I don't want you to beat yourself up about it ok?
Yeah ok... but I gotta say Moony I wasn't expecting you to agree with me on this one… (grins).
Hey, people can surprise you. So on with the plan...
