Chapter 6
Disclaimer: I don't own anything!
"You ready?" Sirius asked with a mischievous grin,
"Always." James replied with an equally as mischievous, if not more, grin.
"I think it'll work," Remus walked into view holding a large and dusty spellbook, totally ruining the dramatic atmosphere his friends had created, "It's a very old spell, it was used to show the bards which song is the most successful, but the wording is very hard, and the wand movement..."
"But you pull it off, right?" Sirius asked, acting concerned but not,
"Of course I can, spending time around you guys made me perfect at casting ancient spells, since you would stand using ordinary pranking spells,"
"That is because the Marauders are anything but ordinary," James said proudly, "We're the best assemble of pranksters in history, we have everyone! Quidditch captain to be, lady's men, nerd (sorry, Moony), and the...outcast?"
"That is not very nice..." Remus muttered, "But I guess it is true, we work very well together,"
"Yes, and we'll do anything to protect each other, even if only one of us remains standing,"
"Yes, we'll do whatever it takes to protect each other,"
"Enough of that, why are we talking about remains standing things?" Sirius asked, "We're in the prime of our lives! Nothing is going to happen to us!"
"Yeah!" James responded with enthusiasm, "Moony, so how does the spell work?"
"First, people don't usually say that 14 is the prime of their lives, it's usually 20 or something similar," Remus said, "And about the spell, the spell is...easy enough, but a potion would be required for it to work the best..."
"Well? What are we waiting for? Get some pineapples, we're going to bribe Slughorn into giving us ingredients!"
"Yeah... and I'm the one doing all the crystalizing..." Remus muttered, but still crystalized the pineapple James had produced out of nowhere from his robes.
"Oh, and I think we better turn this off, we didn't have time to cast the invisibility spell and it's the full moon soon... so bye!" Sirius said, and the screen went blank.
"Hey! We're back!" Sirius's voice echoed from below, the camera seems to be resting on a wardrobe in the corner of the room, and the empty bed which is where they brew their potions have a this wisp of green smoke coming out of it, "Slughorn is getting easier to bribe every year, one does the job, it usually takes about 2 or 3 if he's in a bad mood,"
"But that's good for us, because pineapples are hard to find in Scotland,"
"Where did you get your stock of pineapples anyway?" Peter asked, he had returned from detention with Filch ("chamber pots! No magic!")
"It's none of your business, Wormtail," James said, "If I tell everyone about my secret pineapple supplier, it won't be a secret anymore!"
"Yeah, Prongs, we're glad that you know the definition of Secret," Remus said sarcastically, leaning over the fuming caldron and adding a drop of something,
"What's that?"
"Honey,"
"What is that for?"
"To make the potion taste better,"
"But we don't need the potion to take better, we're not going to drink it!"
"Oh, right," Remus said, bottling the bottle up, but not before taking a lick at the neck, "I'm sorry, but it's just nearly full moon, I'm not exactly thinking straight,"
"Don't worry, buddy!" James said with a dreamy expression, "We'll keep you company,"
"How- of right, we found out during the summer holidays,"
"Yepp!" James said proudly, it had been him who digged through his father's study and found the book that's been removed from the Hogwarts library when the Headmaster learned about Remus, somehow he foretold that if Remus get's good enough friends they will try to become animagi (plural of Animagus, look it up!), but thankfully the headmaster doesn't know of their attempts...or does he?
"OK, so the potion need to simmer for a day, which will be perfect for...after my furry little problem, we'll carry out our prank!" Remus said, excited about the prank. After all, he is a Marauder.
"OK, so I guess we'll be seeing you then," James said, casting a concerned look at Remus, and added, "He's always like that just before full moon, don't worry. Bye!"
And with a tap of his wand, it went blank again.
A/N - This chapter basically is meaningless, but enjoy the Marauders!
I must apologize to "D", I don't do slashes at the best of times, especially not male/male, so no Remus/Sirius, I'm really sorry. But that would completely ruin the characters, Sirius is a lady's men and I'm not going to change it, sorry.
