It's hard to be a prefect while being one of the Marauders, I have to admit...I'm still trying to manage both at the same time.
Some people might have noticed my monthly absence but it's nothing.

It was completely out of Remus’ expectation, yet it was so Padfoot’s style that he would run in the direction of the polar bear that Remus could only stood and watched wide-eyed in shock. He was unable to cast the Shield charm now that Padfoot was sliding underneath the Arctic animal so quickly.
Remus’ gaze was still fixed on the polar bear when Padfoot walked back to him rather triumphantly. He had to ensure that it wasn’t merely pretending to be scared but actually waiting for another chance to attack before he knelt down, hugging the Animagus close to him, checking that he was whole and complete.
“Oh Padfoot, I couldn’t believe what you just did.”
Padfoot grinned and panted into Remus’ shoulder, enjoying the hug. His tail wagged madly and he licked Moony’s face. He glanced at the bear, who had slunk away when Padfoot’s back was turned. Padfoot grinned - no one messed with HIS Moony.
I love you, Moony. Padfoot barked once or twice„ leaping back and adopting a playful stance. Now let’s go find Santa!
((sorry it’s so short //is shot))
Remus giggled, squeezing his eyes close as his face was being licked. “Haha all right~all right~” As if he could understand the meaning of the barks, Remus laughed and pressed a kiss on Padfoot’s nose tip, saying ‘I love you’ back before he let the Animagus go.
He waited for a while, expecting Padfoot to switch back to Sirius yet all Padfoot did was wag his tail, looking at Remus hopefully.
“Pads? Aren’t you changing back to human?”
((It’s alright~))
Sirius grinned at the looks on the other Gryffindors’ faces. He reveled in the mischief they were making, and the fact that he was included. Sirius idly promised himself that if they ever got back to normal, he’d strive to convince Remus that he was always, always wanted - needed - in their group.
He paused behind the others, listening to Remus take charge, the way he used to. He is sure that Remus is having as much fun as he did, and is happy that Remus gets to have that confident feeling, the one that Sirius relies upon when he’s scared.
“Do you think it’s scarier to see pairs of eyes floating in the air or having someone sneaking up on them invisible?”
Sirius chuckles at the thought. This was Hogwarts, after all, and floating eyes or invisible hands brushing against you would be pegged to the magic in the place, or Peeves being an idiot. If they really wanted to make an impression, they’d have to do something spectacular. This was their last Halloween here, after all…
Suddenly Sirius had an idea, and a grin spread across his face, much like the ones he remembers Remus used to do before he came up with something like the Marauder’s Map.
But first he had to get the others’ attention. He cleared his throat, letting the Disillusionment charm fall away from his face, so he appeared to be a floating head.
“Hey, guys?” He asked softly. “Guys, I have an idea.”
((haha I know, I almost wrote Remus instead of Sirius. It’s really fun to do this though XD))
Remus jumped at the soft voice then laughed as he saw the floating head that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. “There you are! Pads!”
Delighted to see his boyfriend, Remus walked over to Sirius as he pulled the sheet off himself, casually flinging an arm around the other’s neck. He, or it was Sirius now, was usually the quiet one and kept all the thoughts to himself unless he had something spectacular to announce. Remus grinned at this and peeked up at the other boy with anticipation, clearly curious about what was on his mind.
“Are you gonna suggest us to cast the Disillusionment charm on ourselves and only reveal our heads like you? It’s actually quite creepy, you know.”
James, who was leaning against the portrait hole, laughed as he took the sheet off where Peter followed suit. “Let’s see what Padfoot’s going to say, Moony. Merlin…it’s weird calling Sirius that when he has Moony’s personality!”
((What James said is actually what I want to say lol))
Sirius knew something was wrong. He could tell in the set of Moony’s shoulders as he stalked ahead of them towards the Great Hall for breakfast. Sirius sighs, he can guess why Moony is so upset, but honestly there is nothing he can do about it. Not only does he not know the counter spell, but even if he did, to use it would upset James.
Sirius sighs and keeps moving, taking care to avoid bumping into anyone. More snogging would only infuriate his beloved Moony further. The marauders wander into the Great Hall, which, as always, is decorated with multiple enormous trees and snow and non-magic mistletoe.
They sit down to breakfast, enjoying a hearty slug of eggnog. Sirius once again takes great pains to ensure he sits next to Remus, so the only one who could fall under the mistletoe would be his Moony. Thankfully, no one moves close enough to aggravate the floating plant, and Sirius starts to think that this wont’s be so bad.
with it being Christmas, Sirius was looking forward to a day with no classes. After a luxurious breakfast he and his friends move to go outside and begin their usual Christmas Snowball Fight Bonanza. On their way out of the school, Sirius bumped into someone. He went to apologise, before a sneer curled his lip.
“Watch where you’re going, Black.” Snape snarled, moving to bustle inside. Sirius hurled an insult back at the greasy git and moved to go outside. A shrieking noise from overhead stopped Sirius dead in his tracks, eyes widening with horror.
“Oh for Merlin’s sake…” Sirius groaned in horror as the Mistletoe threatened to bite of Snivellus’ nose. Sirius had a good mind to let it. He turned to his friends for help.
Peter was staring at the situation in horror, James was literally slumped against the door frame, laughing his head off. Sirius made a mental note to violently maim him later. Sirius finally looked to Remus, hoping that the other boy had calmed down enough to help him out of this.
“Moony, help me!!”
Remus’ eyes widened in horror yet again when the mistletoe let out an alarming sound, preventing Sirius from going anywhere. Sirius hated Severus with all his passion; he would probably prefer being bitten by the mistletoe than to kiss his enemy.
Oh Sirius will be fine…
Remus convinced himself as James’ laughter rang in his ears. A small twinge of sympathy built up as Sirius called for help. He turned around and his heart softened immediately seeing those damned puppy dog eyes.
“How am I supposed to help you, Pads? Shouldn’t you ask Prongs instead of me?” On the contrary to what Remus said, he approached the taller boy and took his wrists in his hands. ”I don’t know if this will work but it worths a try.” He pulled the other down by an inch and leaned in to place a firm kiss on Sirius’ lips. The reason that Remus was against public displays of affection was mainly because of the reactions that he’d get (like now, with James and Peter looking so shocked for the second time in the morning) but he decided not to care that much for the time being.
Remus only pulled away after good while. He glanced at the mistletoe above Sirius with his cheeks flushed to see if the kiss worked.
