IT WAS ALREADY MIDNIGHT and the quintet still weren't asleep, they were huddled on James' bed as Sirius told them the story about the time him and his family went to France, one of the rarest instances they actually went on a trip. Roxanne listened attentively to the lad as he accompanied his story with exaggerated hand gestures, she always had an interest in going to France one day and hopes she'll be able to fulfill.

"Wa-wait," James interrupted, "you saw a hippogriff in France?" Sirius nodded his head. "No offense Padfoot, but I think you're full of shit."

Sirius, not being easily offended, only smirked at his friend, "no need to be jealous, Prongs, I knew you wanted to see a hippogriff in real life yet I'm the first to see one out of the four of us."

"I'm not jealous."

"Hush!" Sirius tutted, "no need to throw a fit, Prongsie." James rolled his eyes.

"What about you, Remy?" Roxanne shifted her attnetion to the brunette, "any stories you'd like to share?"

Remus shook his head, "I've already told my fair share of adventures. How about you, Wormtail?"

Peter tensed at the sudden mention of his name, "I don't really know if you guys'll find it interesting," he mumbled under his breath.

"Oh shush, Petey!" Roxanne sighed, "a guy like you should have loads of adventures!"

"Well, how about James?" He said, bashful, "I don't really know what to say."

Roxanne nodded understandingly at the boy before turning to James. "Any stories?"

"Sadly," he sighed, "I have already told you the tales of James 'the Awesome' Potter."

"More like, James 'the Insufferable'." She muttered under her breath.

"Oh, burn!" Sirius hollered as Remus and Peter laughed.

"You guys are so mean," James pouted, "I feel so attacked right now."

"Just telling the truth, Jameson," Roxanne grinned, "you should know by now that the truth always hurt."

"Want to talk about the Halloween Ball?" Remus spoke up after the laughter died down.

"Right," Sirius smirked, "I'm about to get me a girl."

"Who are you asking Siri?"

"This Hufflepuff girl called Anne Roberts."

"She's one of my roommates!" Roxanne exclaimed, "you better not break her heart, Black, or I swear on Voldy's non-existent nose I will crucio you until your eyes bleed."

"Whoa Rox, I'm asking her to the Ball, not in bloody marriage!"

"It's the same thing!" She pointed out, "if you break her heart we know where that's heading. . ."

"And that is?"

"In the bathroom, crying with mascara trailing down their cheeks and what makes it embarrassing is that I'm friends with you and they might turn into one of those obsessed girls that might ask me how you're doing and where you are and who you're talking to. Worse of all, she's my roommate! If you make her cry I have to be there for her, even if we're not that close, it basically a requirement to comfort a crying girl nearby when you're a girl and fuck, she's a Hufflepuff. A Hufflepuff! You know how sensitive we get." She rambled.

"Damn," James breathed out, "never thought girls reacted like this to something before."

"Believe me Jameson," Roxanne breathed out, "some things are even worse than this."

"Okay, fine," Sirius let out an exasperated sigh, "I won't make her cry as long as you don't hurt me anymore."

"I can't make any promises," she shrugged while Sirius groaned. "Want to play board games?"

"We don't have any," Remus sighed.

"I have UNO cards in my bag," Peter piped up.

"You mean that new game the Muggles invented."

"What the fuck is UNO?"

James and Sirius said together.

"Oh, I love this game! It's pretty popular in my dimension too." Roxanne smiled.

"How do we play?" Remus asked.

"Well it's pretty tricky, but don't worry, me and Petey here will tell you all you need to know."

SNORES FILLED THE ROOM as it was already seven in the morning. UNO cards were scattered around the floor, with the five sprawled over each other with the cards on their bodies and faces as well. Sirius' head was rested on Remus' torso while Peter was a few meters away from the two, cuddling with one of the maroon pillows from the nearest bed to him, which was Remus'. Meanwhile, James and Roxanne were snuggled with each other just below Sirius' feet. Roxanne had her head rested on James' chest with his arm working as a pillow on the blonde's back.

Sirius was the first to wake up, as he fell asleep in the middle of the game after having a long losing streak with the four. He saw the couple cuddling by his toes, a smile forming in his lips as he tiptoed to Remus' nightstand, snatching the camera innocently laying there and quickly snapping a picture of the two. The flash startling the pair a bit before drifting back to sleep.

The black haired boy smirked as he went to Remus, slightly nudging the boy before he eventually woke up. Rubbing his eyes a bit, he squinted it to adjust from the light.

"Padfoot," he said, voice a bit husky from sleeping, "what are you doing?"

Sirius couldn't help but giggle, he put his finger in front of his lips, signalling for his friend to be quiet. He gestured to where James and Roxanne lay. Remus couldn't help but smirk at his two friends. He looked over to his right, seeing Peter quietly snoring to himself. He gently shoved the boy, waking him as he rubbed his eyes to wipe the sleep off of them.

"Look at Prongs and Rox," he whispered. Peter looked to where they were and smiled. The thought of his two friends being together made him feel happy.

He turned to Sirius, "did you take pictures?"

Sirius smirked, "a whole lot of 'em."
