A/N: Just a random one shot about the marauders and some L/J action. Just so you know my friends and I made up this code to freak people out in public, can't take all of the credit for it myself! By the way, I know I'm supposed to be working on my sequel story for opportunities but this got in my head and I couldn't get it out, don't worry I will start typing up the first chapter in a few days.
Dedicated to my friends Aisyy and Crayon-Chan!
Disclaimer: sigh if only I actually did own Harry Potter… (Looks longingly out a window, wait a tic, there aren't any windows in my basement!)
The Marauder's secret code
All four of the Marauders sat in the Gryffindor common room sulking (well… mainly Sirius). Professor McGonagall had caught them sending notes in class. Yes, that alone is bad but these notes were about some, well… Sexual experiences/problems that Sirius was going through. Not only had they received a lengthy lecture about passing notes in class but she had also gone on about how "Matters on sexual intercourse are not to be discussed in my class!". Naturally now the entire class was pestering them to tell them what the notes were about although they already had a pretty good idea.
"You know that wouldn't have happened out if we had a code…" Sirius stated.
"It also wouldn't have happened if we hadn't been passing notes in class." Remus responded.
James just sat there thinking about Sirius' suggestion. He just might have thought of an interesting idea…
"I think you might have something there Padfoot." Sirius gave a silent cheer while James stood up and started to pace.
"We could switch around sexual words with normal objects!" Now he was on a roll.
"Like sex with pizza!" Sirius was jumping up and down with excitement while Remus merely glanced over the top of his book
"Exactly! And virginity with… Ugh…" now he was stuck.
"Glove! As in Peter still has yet to lose his glove even though he is 17! Actually what am I saying…? He lost it to Snape! (A/n: that would make more sense if you read opportunities)" James snickered at Sirius' comment while protests from Peter could be heard coming from the corner of the couch where he was being smothered by couch cushions curtsey of Sirius.
"Oooh! Hungry and Horny! As in I'm sooo hungry for pizza right now." The two high-fived each other at James' suggestion.
"What else could we use?"
"How about kinky and fluffy?" Remus said softly.
"Wow, Remus who knew you had it in you? I guess we finally rubbed off on you!" Sirius was pretty impressed that Remus had actually taken part in their new activity.
"I'm going to write these down so we don't forget." While Remus scratched down their new code Sirius and James discussed the possibilities they could use the code for.
Over the next week or so they put the code to good use, such as…
Monday: "Boys could you help me search my office? I seem to have lost my left glove…" professor McGonagall didn't know why all four boys were rolling on her office floor, near the verge of tears from their fits of laughter.
Tuesday: "James is hungry for Evans!"
"What are you going to do Potter? Eat me?"
Wednesday: "Professor Dumbledore… Would you say you like the muggle food called pizza?"
"Why of course Mr. Black. Why wouldn't I?" he said with twinkling eyes. Naturally they were all a little weirded out by this.
Thursday: "Snape have you by any chance ever lost a glove?" this was all too good for James.
"No. Unlike some people I take care of my personal possessions!"
Friday: "Hey Evans! Do you like fluffy things?" James was starting to hate Sirius but curious as to what she would say.
"Why of course, do you honestly know any girls who don't?"
"Unfortunately…" Sirius said with a sigh.
Saturday (on the way to the Great Hall): Evans! You hungry?"
"Duh, I am heading to breakfast!"
Sunday morning (switch to Lily's point of view)
Lily sat on the couch in the Gryffindor common at 5:30 am. She hadn't been able to sleep because of him again! She didn't get it. Lately it was like the more he annoyed her the more she looked forward to it. Damnit, she was actually starting to like James.
Why did it have to be James, I mean Potter of all people? Him and his bloody gorgeous self.
To make matters worse he hadn't asked her out at all lately. The only question she had been asked within the past month from him at all had been "You hungry?"! What kind of question was that?! Of course she was. With a sigh she layed down on the couch only to hear a crinkling sound coming from between the cushions. After a bit of digging she pulled out a crumpled piece of paper. When she smoothed it out she saw that it was titled "The marauder's secret code".
Now this could explain a lot.
After scanning through the list a look of horror appeared on Lily's face. She finally understood the questions. They had been asking her if she liked kinky things and was horny. With a jolt she remembered Snape saying he was still a virgin along with Dumbledore saying he like sex…
Wait a minute! Ewwwwww! That's just wrong! Sick and wrong!
She then also remembered hearing that James was horny… for her? Then a plan struck her. She finally knew how to make James know of her intentions…
The following Friday afternoon…
"Oh man! I am sooo glad this week is over, I despise Newts potions. Don't you James? James?" Sirius looked at James only to find him staring off somewhere. He followed his gaze to see Lily with her skirt a few inches higher than she usually kept it and the top three buttons of shirt unbuttoned.
"Ah."
As Lily started towards them Sirius took that as his cue to leave and bolted down the hallway to chat with some 6th year Hufflepuff girls.
"Hello James." James merely grunted a hello.
"I was about to go to dinner are you by any chance hungry?"
"Am I ever…" mumbled James.
"Yes, well I am very, very hungry." She whispered into his ear.
James looked into her eyes confused but when he saw her expression he knew what she was talking about. He tilted his head questionly to the side but before he could ask her how she knew about the code she skipped on her way to the Great hall. Deciding at that moment he didn't give a crap on how she knew he ran to catch up with her.
The End
