A/N: Hello! A friendly reminder that this will be told in notes, so:
James - normal
Sirius - bold
Peter - bold italics
Remus - italics
One more thing to note before we get started: This story starts during the Marauder's first year at Hogwarts (1971, I believe) and we will start in October.
Disclaimer: Unfortunately we (yes, there are two of us) don't own Harry Potter - J.K. Rowling does...
So bored! You'd think even Slughorn could make something like a Love Potion cool…
What are you talking about, James? This is even better than that one day we discussed the effects of Radygus juice on snails!
You're the only person in the school who thought that was fun!
I agree with James. You know, I think it's time we made this a little more interesting….
Don't! Remember last time, when you caused an evacuation of the dungeons! The Slytherins had to sleep in the Great Hall for a week!
Exactly! They deserve it, don't you think?
Oh no, they still haven't gotten over that! Just yesterday one of them tripped me and stole my homework!
Peter, they always do that.
Never to you!
Yeah, because I don't run around with a terrified look on my face!
Okay, you guys ready? Simple explosion potion, shouldn't cause any radiation. Whose pot should I put it in?
If anyone asks, I knew nothing about this.
Sirius—put it in Jerry's.
Oh, please do! He smashed a plum pudding right in my face yesterday- on purpose!
Geez, Petey! You have got to learn to protect yourself! But all right, I'll put it in Jerry's. Here it goes!
DETENTION SLIP 10/11
For: James Potter, Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black & Remus Lupin
From: Professor Slughorn
Reasons: Exploding the contents of a cauldron into another student's face during class
Notes: These are First-Year students, Filch. Go easy on them.
DETENTION SLIP 10/13
For: James Potter, Sirius Black
From: Professor McGonagall
Reasons: Transfiguring fellow student's Transfiguration book into a howling monkey
Notes: Note the first time this has happened!
I'm still cracking up about that monkey! Did you see the look on Snivellus's face?! Priceless!
And when McGonagall turned around from the whiteboard and the monkey jumped into her hair!
Oh, my gosh, you guys, do you want to be expelled?
I think they do—I can't believe they pulled that off! Will you guys teach me that spell?
They didn't 'pull it off,' they got detention! And lost twenty points for Gryffindor!
Aw, c'mon, Remus. Even you cracked a smile when the monkey peed all over Professor's shirt!
Okay, maybe a bit. I just don't want you to get in too much serious trouble.
You're right—we'll be sneakier about who it was next time. Maybe we won't stand up and bow.
Not that it will matter. After all, who else could it be?
Guys, I think McGonagall knows we're passing notes. She's coming this way! Quick, Sirius, eat it or something!
I'm not eating it, that's disgusting! It has monkey poop on it.
DETENTION SLIP 10/13
For: James Potter, Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black & Remus Lupin
From: Professor McGonagall
Reasons: Passing notes in class
Notes: It was not funny when the monkey…did its thing. On my new, white blouse.
Gosh, can Filch's detentions get any more boring?
Yes.
Really? How?
Don't ask. I refuse to talk about it.
Gasp! Sirius refusing to talk? We must get you to St. Mungo's pronto!
Haha. Where's Peter?
I'm here. Just trying to polish this overly large trophy…
Seriously, guys, let's not get another detention IN detention…
Stop being such a worry rat.
Guys, Filch is coming to check on us—set this on fire!
How? I don't know that spell…
Just hide it!
Okay, okay…
Later
Guys, I feel the urge to prank somebody today.
No, really? It isn't like we don't do that EVERY day and we ALWAYS get detention…
You're ruining my moment.
I think he left.
How do you know that?
He got up and said, 'I'm leaving.' And then…left.
Okay, then. Where's James?
DETENTION SLIP 10/16
For: James Potter
From: Professor Flitwick
Reasons: Charming the books underneath me…
Notes: That is very wrong, students, and from what Professors Slughorn and McGonagall told me they've done things like this numerous times.
Oh. That's where he is.
Well at least we're not in detention…
We will set up a rescue party!
No…that won't work, Sirius…
Says who?
Says Remus.
Oh, shut up, but when you fail don't come crying to me…
We won't fail!
That's right!
DETENTION SLIP 10/16
For: Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew
From: Mr. Filch
Reasons: Trying to "rescue" another student from detention
Notes: Since I wrote the Detention Slip, do I get to decide the punishment? Please? He he…
I told you so.
Now is not the time.
Says the boy who said (and I quote), "We won't fail."
Oooh…you just got OWNED…
Says the boy who said (and I quote), "That's right." –Talking about what I said—
What the heck were you two thinking?
Ah ha! See?
What's 'ah ha, see'?
Oh, Remus is telling us off, because we tried to rescue you.
Hey—we were trying to help you, Jamsie. You could at least thank us…
What he said!
Okay, okay. Thanks guys. For landing yourselves in detention for no reason.
I could've done without the last bit, but ah well…
What he said!
Is that all you're going to say? 'What he said!'?
Um…no. Duh.
When did my friends reduce to THIS?
I feel so loved.
You should.
You're being mean.
No.
Yes!
This is pointless.
You guys do realize that the bell just rang, right?
I'm outta here!
Tomorrow is our first Defense Against the Dark Arts test! I'm so nervous!
You're nervous! You practically have the whole book memorized!
Actually, he does. Remus, how does Chapter 23 start?
'The griffin is a monstrous yet beautiful-' Wait a minute! Just because I actually pay attention to my schoolwork doesn't mean you can tease me about it.
Ha! I've found us a Ravenclaw!
Lay off him a bit, Sirius. Gryffindors can be smart, too.
Sorry, Remus.
Apology accepted.
Translation- It's okay.
Hey guys, I've got an idea!
This can't be good.
Peter, give me your hat.
No way!
Then go get Snivellus's.
Mission accepted! I'll do it! See y'all- I'm off on a dangerous quest!
James, no! Dumbledore is right there! And of course he did not listen to me.
DETENTION SLIP 10/21
For: James Potter
From: Professor Dumbledore
Reasons: The theft of a wool hat
Notes: -
Hey, James!
Sirius, what happened? Why are you here in detention?
Oh, I stole a toilet seat. Unfortunately for me, Slughorn was using it at that time and caught me outside the washroom.
Oh.
And I'm not the only one coming! Peter's gonna join us soon.
How do you know?
I saw him on top of the Helga Hufflepuff statue and it didn't look too sturdy to me….
Whoa! What was that?
The loud crash? Oh, that would be Peter.
DETENTION SLIP 10/21
For: Sirius Black
From: Professor Slughorn
Reasons: A prank done to a highly valued professor!
Notes: Give him your worst, Filch!
DETENTION SLIP 10/21
For: Peter Pettigrew
From: Professor Binns
Reasons: Destroyed an ancient statue that brought honor and pride to the Hufflepuff house!
Notes: Give him a tough time, Filch
Hey, guys.
Now we're just waiting for Remus. He'll be along soon enough.
Are you kidding? He's hiding out in the Forbidden Section of the library- figures nobody can find him there.
Why? Did he do something bad?
Apparently, yes. Knowing us.
I see.
Guys, we're about to get caught passing notes again! Filch knows, I'm sure of it.
What are you talking about? He's been facing the other way and reading the whole time!
Yeah, but he's Filch. He has eyes in the back of his head.
Oh no, his cat!
DETENTION SLIP 10/21
For: Remus Lupin
From: Filch
Reasons: Going into the Forbidden section at the library.
Notes: You can thank your friends for this.
Guys, why did you write about me in your notes?!
Filch's back was turned the entire time! I don't know how he could've known.
It's his cat! It came over and jumped onto my desk! Growling and everything.
You looked absolutely terrified, Peter. Are you afraid of cats?
What? No…
There's something wrong with Mrs. Norris. The way she snatched the note out of your hand and brought it over to Filch was just….weird.
Well, now that we're all here, what do guys want to do?
You want to pull a prank, Remus?
Why not? It's not like I'm gonna be able to stay out of detention anyway.
Finally, Remus, finally! We have taught you well.
I'm not sure 'well' is the right word, but…
Sure it is! I have got such a good prank in mind!
What is it?
Well, it's almost Halloween…
Stop with the suspension and just tell us already—your theatrics are of no use.
Looks like we've got another Remus in the making…
Hey!
Hey!
Well, when you two stop 'hey' –ing I'll tell you my absolutely brilliant plan…
I'm rolling my eyes now.
We can tell.
Shut up and let me tell you my brilliant plan! My brilliant plan is—
A/N: Hope you liked it. Next installment will be posted as soon as our busy schedules allow...
Review are always deeply appreciated! :)
