He had been searching thought the restricted section of the library when Remus Lupin came across a well worn out book with faded gold lettering across the front. Interested, Remus abandoned his search for advanced potion making, his attention turning to the strange, heavy book, its weight weighing down his hand. Placing it on a table with a loud thump, Remus turned his eyes to the cover, but unfortunately was loudly interrupted right away.

"Moony!" James Potter cried, approaching quickly. Remus shoved the book under the table, not wanting James to snatch it up. "I can't write this stupid essay! I mean, who really care about blasted blast-ended skrewts? It's not like I'm ever going to even see one."

"You might be surprised." Remus replied, amused. "I hear Hagrid has got a fondness for them."

"Yes, well, Hagrid has also got a fondness for dragons, apparently. Last week he told me he wished he could keep one at Hogwarts! The man is mad. Oh, and let's not forget the time we were almost eaten by his bloody Acromantula, Arawhatever! Stupid giant spiders."

Remus chuckled, smiling at the memory. "Yes, who could ever forget the time Sirius though it would be cool if we followed the trail of spiders! That was definitely one of his more brilliant ideas. I swear, Peter almost wet himself."

"He did wet himself, mate!" James retorted grinning uncontrollably.

"So what was it you wanted to ask me about? Blast-ended skrewts?" Although he enjoyed reminiscing with his friend, Remus was eager to find out what was in the mysterious book.

"Yes," James replied, a smile creeping onto his face. "But I'm much more interested in what you're trying to hide from me under the desk." He continued, grabbing the book from Remus's hands.

Remus's face fell. He had wanted to read it first, to make sure it didn't have anything to do with something that would ultimately get the marauders killed, of course.

"A Book of Wizarding Games and Traditions," James read. "Hmm, seems like an odd book to be in the restricted section." He wondered aloud.

Remus groaned. He could only guess what might be inside the mysterious book. James flipped through the pages, landing on the table of contents, glancing over the names of each of the chapters.

"Look here Moony!" James said, pointing to a brief description of the book.

It read: This book contains almost every wizarding game to known to man, and if played according to the rules, and if each of the proper spells are put into place, every wizard is guaranteed to have fun and get into a bit of mischief. So, grab a bunch of your friends and see what the book has to offer. Each of our unique games are sure to excite and challenge you. Good luck, reader.

"Good luck? What do you think that means?" James asked Remus, confused.

"I don't know, but I'm sure we'll figure it out." Replied Remus, suddenly very tired, and truthfully afraid of the night and days to come. Who knew what the book would hold? It was in the restricted section, and therefore bound to cause trouble.

"You bet." James answered, as he ran off to find Sirius and Peter. It was going to be a long night.

James, Remus, Sirius and Peter gathered around the large book that had been placed minutes ago by James in the center of their room.

James began to speak. "Remus found this book earlier today in the library, and I personally think we could have some fun with it."

"Well, what is it?" Peter asked, confused.

"Apparently it holds every game known to wizard" Remus supplied.

"And every user is guaranteed to have fun and get into a bit of mischief" James elaborated.

Sirius laughed. "Sounds like that little speech came straight from the book."

James blushed slightly.

"Tell us what's in the book Prongs," Peter asked, saving James from further embarrassment.

"Well, they're basically just games."

"Tell us something we wouldn't be able to interpret from the tile now, please." Remus added, annoyed.

"Fine, gee, you guys can be pushy." James replied, slightly hurt. "Some of the ones I've read about are called spin the bottle and seven minutes in heaven. They're party games apparently, and get this; they were originally made up by muggles. The only this magical about them are the spells you place on the player at the beginning, so they can never back out!"

"Back out of what? You only told us the games names!" Sirius asked sounding quite bored.

"Well, the first one, spin the bottle, its title is pretty self explanatory-"

He was cut off by an annoyed Moony, "the title makes me imagine people sitting in a circle, spinning around an empty butterbeer bottle."

"Well, ya." James responded. "It kind of is."

"Are you nutters?" Sirius asked.

"No!" James replied indignantly, "I am not. There's more, if you'd let me finish for once." Sirius snorted. "So, you sit in a circle and someone spins an empty butterbeer bottle around, and then, they have to kiss the person it lands on." James finished, looking pleased with himself.

The other three boys stared at him.

"Are you suggesting that you want to kiss us Prongsie?" Sirius asked, seriously.

James's face twisted into one of utter horror. "Hell no! Eurgh. Just thinking about it is disgusting."

"You sure, because it's OK to have these feelings. We'll still accept you as long as you don't hit on us. We did accept Moony's furry little problem." Sirius then received a lovely pink pillow to the face via a very angry James.

"I am completely straight! And you know it git!" James was seething with anger directed towards Sirius. He really didn't like to have hismasculinity challenged.

"Alright! Alright!" Cried Sirius, his hands up and guarding his face. "Call off the dogs!" He laughed at his own, not very funny pun.

"Just keep going Prongs," Remus said, in attempt to calm down James.

"Fine." James said and took a deep breath before continuing. "I though that maybe we could play a few of these games with the girls? If we do the spells beforehand right, they'll HAVE to go through with everything! It's a win-win situation for all of us! Sirius will get to snog all the girls he hasn't before, Peter would finally have his fist kiss-" The others, mostly Sirius hooted with laughter "- Remus would, I dunno, be able to show the girls that he's more than just a geek, and I would finally get to kiss Lily."

The boys sighed, finally understanding. James had had a crush on Lily Evens for the past few years. In fact, crush was practically the understatement of the year. He had an obsession, and infatuation.

"I fail to see how this situation would be win-win for the girls?" Remus pointed out, always the logical one.

"Are you suggesting that it would be possible not to want a kiss from me Moony?" Sirius asked, "Come on, you have to admit I'm a sex god. Consider that their win! A chance to snog me! If I weren't me I'd be throwing myself off the astronomy tower for an opportunity like this!" Rolling their eyes at Sirius's comment the other three marauders chuckled.

"Or," James suggested. "We could play a different games. The one that I liked most was called Truth or Dare."

"What's that one? I think I've heard of it." Peter exclaimed, still excited at the prospect of being kissed by anyone but his mum.

"Well, you go around and everyone is asked if they would rather tell a truth or do a dare, and the other people ask them question and make them do stuff."

"What kind of stuff?" Remus asked, somewhat afraid.

"Anything." James replied, "Or something bad happens."

"What will happen?" Peter asked.

"Whatever we decide." James answered. 'For example, we could have the book make you kiss professor McGonigal if you don't complete a dare or answer truthfully."

"Bloody brilliant." Sirius whispered. "Let's do that one.

"When do we start?" Asked Remus, knowing he would one day regret it.

Deciding to ask the girls to play in the morning, the marauders crawled into their separate beds; think of the things they would make each other do. Oh! The possibilities!

"Good luck," Remus though, as he slipped out of consciousness.

Hope it was OK!!! Keep reading it gets better :)

And do try something out for me, it's a new spell and I'm only just beginning Hogwarts, so I'm not quite sure how it do it properly. Move your wand (cursor) down a bit to the little green button that says Review, and click it. SOMETHING MAGICAL WILL HAPPEN, I PROMISE!!!!
