"This is hopeless! I give..."

"Woah, mate. 'Give up' are some pretty final words. Breathe a little, then tell us why you want to say the g- and u- words." Ok, so I was about to open my mouth in shock, because what Sirius just said is actually good advice. Then he messed it up by acting like a six year old who thinks 'stupid' is a bad word and they need to say 'the s- word'. Please act your age Padfoot. Well, his age is sixteen, but in spirit we all know he is six.

"Um, ok," I take a deep breath and begin my tale, (doesn't 'tale' make it seem like a magical journey? I, Prongs, am a genius) "Lily has been ignoring me, and when I tried to give her the letter I wrote, about my feelings and such, she tore it in two and threw it in the trash! What in the world did I do wrong?"

I throw my hands up at the last part because I really am confused. Not fake confusion, like real life confusion. I felt the need to clarify that because the emotions look the same, and sometimes people can't tell the difference. I assure you, the last time I was fake confused it was during a tea party in the Forbidden Forest, and I.... you know what? That's another story.

I look up at Remus because he's the smart one of the group, and if he doesn't know what's up, no one does. But I find that he's trying to hide a smile behind his hands. Wait a second I know that smile! It's the 'I'm in the middle of a prank/plot and the target really is a thick-headed idiot' smile, commonly confused with the 'I got away with a silent one' smile.

We Marauders, know our smiles, and our members, so I know that Remus did not just let one rip, because that's unlike him, so he must be hiding something. 

As casually as possible, I ask, "So Moony, how did 'going over homework' with Lily go? Did she mention anything useful to my situation?" I get up and stand in front of his bed.

"No." He answers quickly. A little too quickly if I say so myself. I narrow my eyes at him, and sit down on his bed.

"Oh, you know, after everything us Marauders have been through, I mean, we became animagus, we cried, we laughed together. I know that we have no secrets. I know you wouldn't keep anything from your best mate Prongs. Would you?" I got him good. He looks over at Sirius for help, but when Sirius only grins he turns back to me and sighs.

"Lily'sgotaplantoaskyououttomorrowatHogsmeadeanditsveryelaboratebutIdon'tknowallthedetails." It all comes out in a rush, and Sirius bursts out laughing. I look at Remus like he has three heads, and say slowly, and calmly,

"Remus, the only words I got from that were 'Lily', 'Hogsmeade', and 'details'. Can you repeat that slower then what you just did?" He gets that panicked look again, but nods. I think he mutters something like, 'Lily's gonna kill me', then takes a deep breath.

Deliberately slow he says, "Lily has got a plan to ask you out tomorrow at Hogsmeade, and it is very elaborate, but I don't know all the details," then he says, "Please don't tell Lily I told you." I smile a triumphant smile and turn to Sirius who is still laughing hysterically.  He somehow manages to stop and says,

"Prongs, the big question is, is this a prank? Or does she actually like you? 'Cause if she doesn't like you then this plan I know you're going to make is all a moo point."

"A moo point?" 

"You know, like a cow's opinion. It doesn't matter. It's moo."

Turning to look at Remus, who looks like he's trying not to laugh, because obviously Sirius is serious, no pun intended, I say,

"Have I been living with him too long, or did that all just make sense?" If you think about it, it does make some sense, or is that just me? Remus just shrugs. Padfoot looks offended, and starts to say something most likely about his hurt feelings, but I cut him off. "And, of course she likes me. I doubt that this could be a prank. It's not, right Moony?"

He just shrugs, "She seemed pretty into it, and I think she does like you at least a little. Also, if it was a prank, she would have told me so, because I'm a big part of this plan."

"And I'm not? I 'm offended. Me and Evans shall have words." He pouts and crosses his arms. Remus mutters almost immediatly, 

"Evans and I," He hasn't given up on correcting Sirius's vocabulary and grammer, or maybe he has and that was just a spur of the moent thing. As for me, I gave up correcting Padfoot as soon as he introduced himself to me as, 'Misses Sirius Black. I mean Mister. Mister Sirius Black.' That was the day I knew my life would never be the same. I 'd get less sleep, because Sirius snores like no ones buisness. Also his...well, we're getting a little off topic. Moving along.
