It was the summer holidays of their Seventh year and the Marauders had met up. Lily was showing them the Muggle world.

They walked into a massive shopping centre and the four boys walked with their heads tipped back, studying the building that hadn't been built by magic.

Ad they approached it, Remus and Sirius lagged behind. They were watching the people around them. Peter was with James and Lily, hopping along between them. He had already stopped them hands.

As Remus and Sirius walked up to the doors, a dog appeared, barking its head off, leaping up onto the two friends. They both laughed and stroked the dog. Its owner ran up, apologizing and hauled the dog off them. She put her hand over its face and it quietened down.

"Sorry, he's a bit boisterous," she explained, laughing nervously.

Remus smiled. "No worries. We like dogs. Especially Sirius." he joked, gesturing at Sirius.

They chatted for a few minutes until a loud screech interrupted them. They remembered their friends, and after hurriedly saying goodbye to the woman and Marley the dog, ran to catch up to the other three. Peter was shaking on the floor while James tried to get him up and Lily was looking embarrassed.

"Peter," she said softly. "Did you take your meds?" Peter looked at her but everyone else nodded and walked off.

"I didn't mean to," sobbed Peter.

Remus looked at Lily questionably. "The door was automatic. It was meant to open like that. You didn't use magic, Peter."

"So, basically, you eat loads and loads of chocolate and it stops the wolf! Cuz chocolate is poisonous to dogs. And it'll help!"

Sirius tilted his head.

"Do, do you not get it? I didn't know which chocolate you would like, so..." he gestured to the huge pile of chocolate behind him. It filled most of his bed.

Lupin smiled but he was shocked. Sirius had gone to this much trouble to help him.

"I could probably take it ba-" Lupin leaned forward, his hand raised and placed it on Sirius' face, like they had seen the woman at the mall do.

"Shush. Its great."

Sirius smiled and licked his hand.

"Eww!" he shrieked and fell backwards off the bed.

James walked in.

"What?..."

"It was Peter." Sirius said automatically, snapping his hand out to point at Peter's empty bed.

"Peter is in the infirmary after you told him you had a spell that would let him jump off the Astronomy tower and live."

James dead-panned.

Sirius felt Lupin look up at him from the floor.

"It worked, didn't it?"

"Ugh"
