Young Love Jools loves the smart ones! 20. Hogsmeade Remus led the girl into Madame Puddifoot’s with a deep flush coloring his cheeks. Pulling out her chair he said, “Lovely day.” Stupid, stupid, stupid. That was the fifth time Remus had said that. Julie made him so nervous. When she asked him to accompany her into Hogsmeade he was taken aback. Most people, especially girls were off put by his ragged appearance. Not Julie though, she seemed not to mind. Their date went as smoothly as a boulder over a mountain. Oh it was a disaster. They rose to leave and to Remus’ surprise she kissed him. Young love. |
Mini Marauder 47. Portkey As Remus and Tonks took hold of the Portkey headed for The Burrow he couldn’t help but frown a bit. This was all too familiar. One Marauder had already had a child during a war… a war that wasn’t as horrible as the present. Memories of a happy family being torn to shreds… both literally and figuratively danced through his head. As Tonks shared the news of their mini Marauder with the Weasley clan he was partially aware of who was embracing him. He wished Sirius was there to congratulate him, James there for advice. The next generation was coming. |
Sirius Sorted 25. Sorting Hat “Black, Sirius” McGonagall shouted above the den. The cocky little boy strolled right up to the dais and plopped himself down on the stool. A crooked grin spread his face as soon as the hat hit his head. “You want to be in Gryffindor, I see. But your family is a Slytherin family… except a few.” Grumbled the hat “I hate my family along with those stupid Slytherin prats.” Sirius thought to the hat. “Have you the bravery to represent the House of Godric Gryffindor?” “I have more bravery in my pinky toe than all of the others combined.” GRYFFINDOR! |
Pettigrew's Peeved 64. Nap Whilst napping in a hidden corner of the castle Pettigrew was having a marvelous dream. He was Quidditch Captain, James and Sirius no longer made fun of him, and he was as smart as Remus. Sheah right! Poor Peter Pettigrew was an outcast amongst the coolest kids on campus. He strived to fit in, but remained the butt of most jokes. In his dreams he was the coolest of cool. Lily Potter swooned over him, he was the best. Along comes Peeves, the pesky poltergeist… “Looky looky. Lumpy little boy napping.” Peeves sang out. BOOM POW “PEEVES” Peter ran. |
Filth 56. Fight James pounced on the greasy haired git as soon as the word escaped his lips. “You’re half-blood you big idiot. Why insult anyone for being Muggle born?” PUNCH PUNCH SCRATCH He continued to wallop the boy with all his might, not even bothering to use magic. He had made Lily cry and used the foulest word of all… Mudblood. Sirius and Remus came running once they had gotten word. “James, the greasy git isn’t worth it. You’ll be expelled.” Remus shouted as he tried to break them apart. “Punch him in the face, James” Sirius shouted “THAT’S ENOUGH!” EEP! Dumbledore! |
Blunder Thanks to Jools for her random request! 26. Quill The Marauders were all sitting around the fireplace in the Gryffindor common room trying to study for their NEWTS. Trying being the operative word. James was busying himself with mussing up his hair and catching that blasted snitch. Sirius made loving eyes at a girl across the room. Peter… well he sat there worshipping the coolest guys in the world. Remus, poor Remus tried to lead the study group. Peter, always looking for a short cut had taken to reading Remus’ essay over his shoulder. Not smart! Remus had bewitched Peter’s quill to write nonsense if he cheated again. Whoops! |
Betrayal 27. Owl Peter Pettigrew alone in his hidey hole cowering in the darkness. The Dark Lord told him what needed to be done, yet he was afraid. Afraid he’d fail and meet Voldemort’s wrath… Afraid that he would fail and the other Marauders would have his head. Fear was his driving force. He penned the letter to James and Lily, telling them how handsome Harry was, that he should be the secretkeeper. Sirius was too unpredictable he said, too verbose. Beads of sweat formed on his brow despite the autumn chill. He sent the owl and hoped to Merlin he’d survive. Betrayal. |
Run Faster 93. Chicken A strapping young man running around screeching about a bloody bird, three others laugh hysterically from behind a tree. Peter was being flogged like nobody’s business, yelling for the others to help. The chicken was relentlessly pecking and flapping its wings, letting out a battle cry for a crow. “Wormtail, we told you to catch it, not to dance with it.” Sirius managed to shout between guffaws. “James, help. Remus, please.” Peter pled as the bird attacked again and again. “Run faster Wormtail. Maybe it won’t catch you” James suggested. “Oh guys. Can’t they fly?” Peter whined. Run Wormtail Run! |
Sneezes and Snuffles 94. Allergic Dumbledore listened with a grin on his face as Sirius recanted the tale of exactly how the suit of armour exploded. Suddenly he began to sneeze. “Bless you sir.” Sirius said before launching back into the far- fetched tale. ACHOOOO “Sir, are you alright? Do you need a handkerchief?” Sirius offered, smirking “No, no continue. My allergies seem to be acting up.” Dumbledore explained with a grin. Sirius nodded his head and was off and running with the tale once more. He blamed Peter and Peeves, and anyone but himself. “I’m sorry Master Black, but I am allergic to nonsense." |
Attack! 95. Snowball What a glorious day it was at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, snow covered the grounds, children played, and the Marauders were all in good spirits. James and Sirius were even being nice to Peter, odd as that may sound. Spotting Snivellus skulking near an oak tree watching lovely Lily play, the boys set off to work at once. They began packing the snowballs and lining them up, preparing to attack at a moment’s notice. Once their ammunition was built to satisfaction they crept closer still. Wands at the ready, snowballs in hand they heard a girlish giggle. ATTACK! |
Idiocy 97. Dictionary Remus watched as Peter repeatedly scratched through words and sentences as he attempted to complete McGonagall’s essay. “Wh-Why do we have to do 2 rolls of parchment for McGonagall by Monday morning?Peter stuttered. Remus rolled his eyes. This coming from the idiot that has already succeeded in becoming an Animagus he thought. “Its NEWT year Peter, we have to prepare for our exams. It’s not just wand work, you know.” James said with a sigh. “Remus, what does Inanimatus Conjurus mean?” Peter asked. Remus couldn’t help but groan. “LOOK IT UP IN A BLOODY DICTIONARY, WORMTAIL” Sirius bellowed. |
A Different Time 38. Patronus Remus watched in awe as Harry conjured a corporeal Patronus. Not to his surprise it was a beautiful, very powerful stag. The sight of it sent him back to another time, what seemed like a different world. He watched through troubled eyes as the stag pranced around the rickety old shack. A big black dog padded over and plopped down beside him. The cycle was nearly over and he was relatively calm for the time being. His human self watched them around him and it warmed his heart. “I think I am done… for today anyway.” “Eat this it’ll help” |
Dapper Thanks to Jer for his random request :) 31. Dress Robes Remus stood in front of the full length mirror in the dormitory looking at himself appraisingly. He turned this way and that checking his new dress robes out. They were a gift from the Potter’s and he wasn’t quite sure they were… him. “Come on Moony, we’ll be late if you keep standing in front of that mirror all night.” Sirius prodded. “Do they look… okay?” Remus asked doubtfully. They weren’t comfortable like his old robes, but then again they looked loads better. Remus wasn’t comfortable. He quickly changed out of them and into the old ones. Dapper young man |
Thanks to Jools for the random request :) 76. Zap The Marauders had set out to roam the castle for new hiding places and secret corridors one night… little did they know that a certain slippery Slytherin was roaming the corridors as well. Behind a suit of armor stooped for his protection was one Severus Snape…. Waiting. He knew that this was his only chance to get the Marvelous Marauders caught in the act. They were so cocky they weren’t even under their cloak. He raised his wand and shot a tripping jinx at them and waited. Missing his target the boys realized where it came from. Poor Severus….. ZAP! |
Icy 59. Ignore James sulked around the common room for days before Sirius had had enough. “What is wrong with you, James?” Sirius asked as he poked him. He was looking worse than ever at this point. “Lily keeps ignoring me. It’s killing me, Sirius.” James admitted in a small voice. Sirius turned an amused eye to his friend and said, “Well, ignore her then. Don’t let her know it bothers you, Prongs.” Yeah that could work… Lily walked past and turned an icy gaze to James Potter who completely ignored her…. Well, that was new. As she passed Sirius caught James’ eye, grinning. |
Breathe 15. Room Remus shifted uncomfortably in his seat and audibly ground his teeth together in frustration. Sirius and James were practically on top of him copying his Charms essay… he was no happy camper. “Moony, what is that word?” Sirius asked, his breath slapping Remus in the face. He stiffened and said, “I can’t even see through your mop of hair in my face to tell you, Sirius.” Remus hissed. “Is it getting close to that time of the month? You are being crabby.” James muttered. Having an acute sense of hearing Remus heard. “I.Need.Room. To.Breathe!” Remus shouted, slamming his book shut. |
Useless 2. Muggle Studies James, Sirius, and Remus sat in class as the Muggle Studies Professor babbled on and on about something called a toaster. Peter simply stared off into nothingness… Remus scratched down notes with his quill and he appraised the contraption with wonder. “Professor, why is it necessary?” he asked. His family simply cast a spell and like… poof… bread was toast. James and Sirius laughed at his obvious amazement. They had no interest in the useless Muggle contraptions, or for the throw away class. The Professor simply said, “It makes toast, Remus. That is why it is…” *sigh* “No magic, Remus” |
Daydreamer 4. Ancient Runes Sirius would be glad for the day that he could give up Ancient Runes for something of more interest… or really just give it up altogether. The class was dreadful. Using runes to determine something, something, something… it was useless magic in his opinion. He hazarded glances around the room and not to his amazement Remus was entranced by the Professor’s constant droning. Sirius gave up and let his mind wander off. He sat looking dreamy eyed for the remainder of the class. Remus and James snickered as the Professor asked Sirius… something. “Huh… oh daydreaming. Sorry. What was that?” |
Seeing Stars 5. Astronomy James actually loved looking at the stars, it was very relaxing and not to mention he got to be out of the dormitory… with permission… to look through telescopes and cool stuff like that. There was nothing better than getting to stare at the sky all night. Looking around he spied Sirius goofing off as usual. Frowning a bit he went back to work, marking his charts and looking to the skies. There was a clatter and an OOF… James started. Looking to his left he saw Peter out cold… and Sirius doubled over laughing. “He is seeing stars now” |
Doh! This is for Lissy... thanks for the inspiration :) 6. Divination The boys climbed the golden ladder to Divination class… Oh how they all hated Divination. Even Moony was a bit put off with the subject. Peter made sure that he went up the ladder first… after Sirius knocked him out with his telescope the previous night he wasn’t taking any chances. Casting a glance around the room he went to a table in the corner… away from the Professor. As Sirius made his way to Peter’s table the Professor spoke up. “You there boy, I see a horrible future for you…” “Yes and I see a nutter, what’s your point?” |
Untitled 7. Care of Magical Creatures Sirius!Snuffles stood in the pumpkin patch in front of the Care of Magical Creatures Professor’s hut in a less than jolly mood. Even as a dog he was visibly bothered, shifting nervously and whining. Harry was the only thing he had left that reminded him of James and Lily. He vowed to them that he would care for their child and it looked as though his chance was being taken from him. He thought of his friends and let out a sad, heart wrenching howl. Remus caught the scent of Snuffles and heard the howl. His heart broke for him. |
Clue 10. Arithmancy Sirius was clearly not paying a bit of attention to the Professor as she droned on and on about numbers and meanings and blah, blah, blah... Numbers make Sirius head hurt. Divination class had been a nightmare earlier that day. He had been booted almost immediately for calling the professor a nutter… but in reality she was… he just shouldn’t have said it aloud. Peter was sitting there all blinky and watery eyed, as usual. Teehee. Sirius stealthily waved his wand and sent Wormtail’s quill levitating around his head. Peter knew it was Sirius. Why couldn’t he get a clue? |
Waiting This is for my Irish luff! :loved: 79. Author's Choice- Mirror Sirius lay on his old bed, in the old house that he hated so much. He gripped the mirror tighter in his hands, waiting… Harry had not used the mirror to contact him at all and he was beginning to worry. But he had to admit it reminded him of days passed. James and Sirius sat in their family homes and laughed and talked for hours on end through those mirrors and it made Sirius sad and happy to have that companionship back. Although it was the younger version of James, Sirius loved him more than words could say. Waiting… |
Crash 13. Quidditch James trudged out onto the pitch, ready to win the cup. Lily was there with the other Marauders in tow. James could not have been happier, or more nervous. The cat calls from the Gryffindor supporters in no way drowned out the jeers from the Slytherin side. Taking a deep breath he mounted his broom and kicked off hard, rising up into the air easily. The match seemed to fly by. James scored goal after goal and his confidence was at an all time high. He caught a glimpse of Lily… and Snape. Grrrr. He flew hard at him… Crash! |
83. Fearful Remus wrung his hands and paced the room. He was afraid that Tonks would be shunned, disowned, and other terrible things he cared not think on at the present. His whole world had been turned upside down since he met her and he knew she was the one… But he was fearful of the repercussions his condition would have on her. He often times thought of James and Lily. How their lives just seemed to mesh together and bring them closer. How even the Marauders were a part of his life even though Lily was there too. He envied James that. |
