It was yet again one of the long silences in the Gryffindor common room shared by us all. Though, unlike so many other silences, this one was not awkward at all, it was more of a warm silence, similar to what old married couples shared. Which, incidentally, was exactly the sort of relationship all of the Marauders had with each other.
It's odd to say, but the Marauders had a four way marriage, with a lot less sex than most four way marriages.
Remus was reading some school text, Peter was eating, James was studying the Marauders Map and Sirius was deep in thought.
"Okay, new theory." Declared Sirius, his mouth in a brilliant grin.
James rolled his eyes. "Okay what is it?" He sighed.
"I can seduce anyone." He paused for a moment, savouring the moment. "Anyone. Anyone."
"Bull!" Retorted James, throwing his head back in laughter.
"It's the truth!"
"Oh, I don't doubt that for a second." Said Remus, his tone was over flowing with rich sarcasm and his eyes didn't even leave the page.
"Observe." Announced Sirius. Then he lightly placed his hand on my thigh and set his eyes wide.
Please stop.
"What are you doing?"
"Proving my point." He said, sliding his hand up Remus' thigh, higher and higher he went.
For the love of all that is pure Sirius, stop.
Then something... hard pressed against Sirius' hand.
Sirius jumped in his seat so furiously that he almost hit his head on the 10 foot high ceiling.
