Lily - Silverpen

Sirius - Chaos
Lupin - Kenzie Pettigrew
** You can request another character that is not on this list. Location: Hogwarts Grounds (where the lake is) Time Period: Marauder Era --- Sirius was sitting outside in the grounds with a dreamy look on his face, eyes closed, with his face elevated toward the sun. He didn't have a care in the world. He wasn't thinking about potions, nor his transfiguration paper due tomorrow, nor the giant squid probably about to suck off his half submerged foot. He wasn't thinking about home, or his family, or his git of a brother. He wasn't thinking about his incessant house elf Kreacher, off at home pampering his pompous mother. He also wasn't paying much attention to anything happening in the grounds, or the person standing directly behind him.

Alright so we all know I'm Remus<3 -----------
The person standing behind Sirius was in fact Remus Lupin, and wasn't standing for long. He plopped himself down next to his friend, bag of books in tow. "You know Pads, it wouldn't be a bad idea to study once in awhile, instead of lolling around out here.", He said. Remus ran his hand through his slightly curly honey-brown hair with a sigh before opening his bag and pulling out his potions book. "Bloody hell, potions." He commented, more to himself than anyone. Potions was Remus's worst subject, the only one that he didn't over excel in compared to the rest of his friends.

Sirius cocked his head to the side in a sort of answer to Remus' rhetorical question. Lupin knew bloody well Sirius rarely studied - and yet still excelled in many of his classes, and some of them without even cheating. "Mmm. Potions...I actually studied for that one..." Sirius lied lazily, just to annoy Remus. Sirius knew it was his least favorite class and enjoyed seeing the torment in his eyes when it had to do with schoolwork. "Loosen up Mooney, enjoy the nice day."
And it was a nice day indeed. The sun was streaming, the breeze was warm. Sirius rolled his head back so that it hung below his shoulders and spotted Lily and a brown haired, brown eyed, freckle faced girl walking beside her. He nudged his friend and fell back into the grass. Looking upside down at the girl he said rather impulsively, "Hello there young lady, may I assist you in your daily forrays?" He heard a small chuckle beside him.
"I'm sorry, but I don't think so," the girl said quietly. "Sorry." And she truly did look sorry.
"Oh please," Lily said contemptuously. Her bemusement to the haughty Sirius was not unknown. "Stop pretending to be a considerate gentleman. What do you think you're doing, anyway?"
Sirius sat up and spun around in the grass, throwing an arm around Remus, "Well we're just being the dogs you know us to be, Miss Lilly Evans. I'm just trying to add a little class to the doghouse," he grinned.
Lily couldn't hide the smile on her face as she walked away with her timid friend. Sirius turned toward Lupin and said, "So, wanna have a dog fight?" and attempted to push him into the water.

"Ah yes, I forgot that Sirius Black didn't have to study like the rest of us to get good grades" Remus said, bemused. "What is it, do you charm the teachers like you do those innocent girls?" Playing along, Remus grudgingly flicked through the pages of the textbook. He was just about to ask Sirius to quiz him over the potions when Lilly and her friend walked by.
Remus watched the spectacle of sorts unfold, shaking his head in a mocked disgust as Sirius slung his arm around his shoulders. "Your sick Sirius, your know that right?", Remus really didn't think his friend knew. Not that Remus thought Sirius to be sick, not in medical terms at least. Something wrong in the head maybe.. but who wasn't? Ah well, Padfoot would be Padfoot.
"Argh, Sirius!" Remus yelped, as Sirius unbalanced him. "Can't you see I'm trying to study?" Lupin sat back up, brushing off any loose grass from his hands before flicking through the book again. Then he added, "Plus, you damn well know I'd win if we had a dog fight, but its not happening."

"Technically, I'm more dog than you are!" Sirius said a little too loudly. "I can turn into one at any time," Sirius said a little more quietly. "Let's see you do that." Sirius sat smug as he had allowed himself to believe that he had won.
Sirius sat quietly for a moment, tense, but mind clear. His eyes were wide open, but Remus seemed to think Sirius was just content to daydream again. Then in a sudden spasm of energy he jumped on top of Remus, in effect dropping his book into the lake!

Remus smirked in grim amusement, saying "Yeah, but your a little less lethal as a puppy dog. I don't think you want me to be changing more often than I do now." Although, thought Remus, if that were the case, I wouldn't have to change at all.
Moony let himself get caught in a semi trance for to long though.
Bam, Sirius rolled into him again, only this time with more force. Remus cried out in anguish at the plopping sound, knowing that his potion's book was now sinking into the depths of the lake. Sure, he hated potions, but those books were expensive! And he needed it to study.
"Pads you dope! Look what you did!" Remus yelled, though it was muffled by Sirius on top of him. I bet he didn't even stop to think how awkward this would look.
Remus wasn't going to let his drowned book go without a bit of a fight. He managed to roll Sirius so that he was on top of his friend, instead of the one being smooshed. Which, by the way, wasn't an easy task. Remus was able to crawl over to the side of lake and dowsed his arm in the murky water. He waved his arm about for a bit, but to no avail.

Sirius, now rolling in laughter, rolled directly back on top of Remus. As Sirius flew back onto his side and Remus swiftly crawled over to retrieve his book from the lake, Sirius said slowly, "I thought I told you...to RELAX."
Sirius threw himself at Remus, who apparently expected the second attack. Lupin winced at Sirius' rashness and ducked down further in a desperate attempt to retrieve his book, and Sirius catapulted himself head first directly where Lupin's head had been moments before.
Dripping wet and waist deep in the lake, Sirius plopped down on his elbows in the mud - incidentally pushing Lupin's book deeper under - and said, "In the word's of a defeated dog, 'Oh bother,'" and then proceeded to splash Remus in the face with the scummy lake water.

Oof! "Well Sirius, my idea of relaxing isn't rolling around in the mud with you on top of me" grumbled Remus.
Moony moved his head in the nick of time, wincing as Sirius's shadow cast itself upon him. "Oh bother is right," smirked Remus before pulling out his wand. With a quick swish and a small spell, he sent a small wave of the muddy water to Sirius, then pocketed his wand. Using the sleeve of his black robe, he dabbed the scum off of his face. "You know, Mr. Black, that I'll require payment for that book you just ruined."
Yes. Poor, poor book.

"Oh, you mean this book?" Sirius said, pulling the muddy book out of the water and his wand out of his soaked pocket, and casting a silent spell on it to restore it to it's previous condition. "I learned that nifty little trick after relaxing in the lake and needing to dry off. I can't just shake off, that might look odd."
Sirius laughed at the look on Remus' face.
"And I maintain that that was relaxing for me!" Sirius retorted. "How do you relax? We can't all be prudes, you know." Sirius stood up, his robes drenched so that they were sticking to his skin, and held out Remus' book. Just as he made an attempt to take it, Sirius dropped it in the water and smirked as it sank to the bottom again.
Sirius walked happily out of the lake past Remus who was still staring sadly after his book which had just reached the detritus at the bottom. As he passed by him, he squeezed some of the water out of his robes onto Remus' head, then used his wand to siphon off the remaining water. "Coming, Moony?"

" I relax with a book. some peace and quite. Obviously that's a bit hard with a prat like you for a friend" said Remus, fuming as the book hit the water. again. "Dammit Padfoot, can you just get me my book, your already wet, and enjoy this kinda thing."
Then, a thought struck Remus. A thought that would keep him a bit drier at least and one that wouldn't make it so that he'd have to succumb to Sirius's crude humor. Hell, why didn't I think of this before. It would have saved me a whole lot of trouble..
Whipping out his wand a second time, Remus shouted "Accio Potions book!". The book soared out of its watery grave, and Moony clasped his hands around the drenched hardcover. How logical.
The only problem now was that the book was soaked, and pretty useless. And there was no way in hell he'd beg Sirius for help. Shaking the textbook, droplets of water sprayed the ground and misted his cloak. He'd ask Lilly to help him with it maybe.
"Depends where your going, and what it's going to cost me this time.," shot Remus "Plus, I need to get started on this essay.." He trailed off.

(( sure sure Neco, you can have it ))
Sirius roared with laughter at Remus' attitude. He could actually see Remus' exasperation outlined on his face. He watched as Remus seemed to reach a revelation, and then use magic to retrieve his book. He looked quite pleased with himself, until he saw that it was still soaking wet and essentially useless. Sirius roared with laughter again, almost falling into the grass again.
"Depends where you're going, and what it's going to cost me this time," Remus had replied, then rambled absentmindedly about his potions essay. I should throw that in the lake too... Sirius contemplated silently until after a few moments Lupin had still not made an adequate reply. Feeling generous, Sirius walked over to Remus, tapped his book with his wand, and dried it to it's original state for the last time. Remus looked at him in slight shock, and Sirius took mock offense.
"I can do good deeds every once in a while! And plus, Don't flatter yourself, I just don't feel like buying you a new book," Sirius said. "Just don't ask for anything from me for Christmas," and Sirius took Remus by the hand and started dragging him along.

Relieved, Remus deposited the book into his bag before further harm could come to it. "Thanks" He mumbled as he let himself be drug by friend. It didn't even bother him where they were going, as long as it was far from the lake and it's potential danger to his books.
"But you know Sirius," Remus retorted in thought, "If we played the Christmas game like that, I think I've covered Christmas for you for a couple years now, you know?"

"What?" Sirius replied, "let me copy a few lousy homework's every now and then and you think you're Father Christmas." Sirius marched further into the castle. "Well, let's see. What have I done for you? Turned into more of a dog. That's one. Break rules to sneak out after curfew, which you know I just despise doing. That's two. Need I go on?" Sirius hoped Remus didn't know that he ended it there because he couldn't think of anything else except the small token of kindness he showed earlier.
"But anyway," he changed the subject. "I'm sure you know where we're going by now," Sirius said in a belittling tone. He rounded another corner, Remus still in tow, and went straight down the corridor and turned into the next door on the left, entering the broad double doors of the Hogwarts library. "I have something I need to talk to you about."
