Guards
Sirius snickered and just gave his brother another little hit on the back. just as he did the lights flashed on brighter and an alarm sounded. the doors at the front of the room opened and people in black suits and masks walked out holding large guns across their chest.
"what the fuck?" regulus exclaimed but all the chatter from the other people had died down and everyone heard him. sirius gave him a little hit again. no longer looking cheerful.
everyone gathered around as the gunmen stood in a barricaded line near the doors they just came from and chatter picked back up again until one of the gunmen shot their pistol in the air causing everyone to shriek but fall silent again. sirius stuck with regulus for good now.
lily was huddled in james arms, terrified and james was just watching with a brave face. everyone was just as confused.
mary and marlene had made another friend. a lumpy lad with sandy hair and his friend who was slim with bouncy curls. they stuck close together.
and remus was fully alert now. he jumped off the bed he had been sitting on and joined everyone else in standing there waiting for these guards to do something. his eyes wide and energetic looking. despite his fury for being taken into here with no recollection. the prat shouted with gesturing hands, pushing past people.
"What the fuck is this kinky Bullshit" remus shouted breaking the silence.
the people around him murmured. looking at him as if he was a maniac. shouting like that to people with guns?
"SILENCE PLAYER 098!" one of the gunmen shouted out. his voice sounded fake. could it be due to the fullface mask he had on?
"Player?!" remus asked his voice still raised and eyes wide. "mate ive had my fair share but im not a player."
"silence now." the man repeated more dryly.
remus just huffed and threw his hands into the air in exasperation then turned around pacing back and forth as if he was bored.
the man then sighed and then spoke again. "in order to win the money you were offered. you will be expected to be a player in a series of games we have designed. if you refuse. you will be facing severe punishment."
remus could not take it, he spoke again still pacing around. "and what the fuck is with these trackies?! wheres my shit?"
sirius heard the ramble this bloke was coming out with and saw him gesturing angrily through the gaps people and couldn't help but snicker and add. "yeah! these trackies are a right joke! my bloody boots and jacket was above £40 each ya pricks!"
remus turned his head quickly to see who spoke but he couldn't tell. too much people and he huffed again. "shut the fuck up ya posh sod!"
sirius eyes widen and he tried to push past people to get to this loon. make him pay for the insult. but as he pushed past he took regulus with him who looked panicked again. "You what?! you swine!"
"ouhh lets all hav it then!" remus sniggerd watching this man get closer he could see who it was. 'oh wouldn't mind tapping that.' he thought quickly before sirius threw himself on him. pushing remus to the floor. laughter broke out all around them and they both started hitting eachother, regulus trying to pull of his brother. remus laughing like a loon as he was getting ploughed.
BANG!! the pistol shot again and the main man stood at the front spoke again. not so friendly as before "SILENCE NOW! or else your punishments will come quicker than needed!"
regulus finally pulled his brother off, sirius let him and he stood to his feet again. brushing his trousers off. his fist had a bit of blood on it. remus smiled on the floor his lip cut and his nose flooding with blood. remus choked out "that was pathetic." and stood up himself.
sirius jumped again but regulus just held him back."pack it in sirius..."
remus egded away. rubbing his nose with his sleeves leaving blood on a supposedly nice white jacket. he sulked back to his uncomfortable bed. not caring for anyone else there now. christ he was feeling alot like his mum in here.
the man spoke again. calmly again. "as i mentioned you will all be participating in order to win the money. over 7 consecutive games money will be stocked in the bank above you-" the man gestured at the ceiling above them where a huge glass piggy bank was held. it was empty. "over the games the piggy bank will fill up. by the end the winner will take the winning amount of £30 million."
the gunmen then began to exit and the last one spoke before departing themselves. "the first game will be beginning in 1 hour. please make this current time useful." then they left through the large doors at the front of this room.
everyone else was silent for a moment until someone broke the silence. player 008 a dull looking man with a dark bob which was 'greasier than fried egg' james thought as he still held lily.
"what a fucking load of hippy hilcock!" player 008 exclaimed "30 million! for some games?! easy! you all might aswell pack your bags now!"
"what bags you gobby git!" remus shouted so the people down below could hear him from his bed. "took all our shit you bellend!"
"me a gobby git! says the one with a batterd nose for being an arrogant prick!" player 008 shouted back ignoring the other 200 people in this room.
remus laughed from his uncomfortable bed and shouted proudly "reckon its better looking than yours!"
player 008 suddenly faltered. not liking his own insults thrown back at him. "fucking shut it bloody nutcase!"
remus snickerd once again and protested. clearly wanting to be the one to finish this. "i take nutcase as a compliment! its rather large."
player 008 eyes widened and stuttered a bit taken back by this persons audacity "you- you- bloody fag!"
remus just snickered and gave him a blowkiss. hed heard that insult enough times to not care anymore. he knew hed won that one.
player 008 scowled and stalked off. not exactly going anywhere though. he couldn't go anywhere none of them could.
sirius was still out of breath from beating up that lad. but after watching the other incident he caused he couldn't help but smirk. he was funny. he was feeling this fluttering in his stomach.
lily was hyperventilating in james arms. "they had guns jim! guns!"
"its alright lils! there holding them so prats like him dont cause a hassle. were fine" james reassured.
no your not james.
***
29 minutes until first game.
lily was still panicking. james eventually grew bored. he couldn't keep repeating himself. so he ought to let her calm down herself. that was until a kind looking woman. about the same age as them with long golden hair and pale skin. there was a boy fairly close that looked the exact same, same color hair, same skin type, same hight. as if they were the same person. james assumed siblings. the man stood behind awkwardly while assuming his sister spoke to lily. "shush. you should be more quiet. like your husband told you. it was probably just for our safety. im pandora... and hey. hey. come on you dont want to tire yourself out before the first game." she smiled kindly at them. her brother? stood behind awkwardly waiting for pandora to finish settling down this person?
"lily.. and. james. hes not my husband. just-" lily spoke matching her kind tone. appreciating it. although in between catching her breath.
"oooh. i see. sorry." pandora snickerd and moved to the side. "this is my brother evan."
evan smiled awkwardly and made himself more visible.
"could we keep here with you two a bit while we wait?" pandora asked? her tone and appearance so kind. james couldn't resist. seeing so this random woman managed to calm down his nervous lily. james gestured as if saying 'sure'.
pandora smiled at evan and let out a cute little laugh the four of the settled down on the cold floor. there was no chairs so they sat crossed legged close to eachother. although lily seemed to like this new friend of hers. james was just glad shes calmed down and smiled politely to evan who still looked awkward.
11 minutes till first game.
regulus was pacing around in a deserted corner of the large room with sirius sat close beside. sirius seemed gormless and in thought, although with a little smile on his face and he occasionally kept turning his gaze to the beds on the other side of the room where that person hed just beaten up was. he didn't know his name of number so he was clueless.
"what is the first game? how do you win? what happens if you loose? what happens once you win? how many winners are there? do we get money from the first game?" regulus kept asking while chewing his nails. pacing around like a skittish little cat. sirius just ignored him a d kept thinking about that cocky git who is unknown to him.
"oi! in talking to you!" regulus snapped his fingers close to sirius face.
sirius blinked. "huh? eh- starting now?" he stood up automatically.
"no you moron! im freaking out here!"
sirius sighed and sat back down again. "regulus cool it itll be fine honest.."
"im holding you against that sirius."
sirius kept ignoring him and started thinking again. about how that prat just kept laughing as he was hitting him. 'what hot hot mess.' 'wait no! what a... maniac... a hot maniac.' Sirius kept thinking and smiling about it.
2 minutes till first game.
remus was laid flat on this uncomfortable bed. flicking his fingers up and down boredly. suddenly he was feeling very very tired. but as his eyes were getting heavier. an alarm ran extremely loud and the main doors buzzed open. he sat up and watched as everyone made their way through to their first game. he thought he ought to join. so he did. he got up and made his way through following the other 'players'
through these large doors. just as he was doing so and minding his business that same person who beat him up nudged him as they walked through. and he mumbles cockily too remus.
"so so. player 098 go for round 2 after this?"
remus turned his head and looked down slightly. recognising it was him who beat him up. "t's remus. don't refer to me as some prisoner... and dont be full of yourself posho. let you get the best out of me."
sirius snickered "alrighty mr egotistical... sure your not just weaker than my left elbow?"
remus let out a little chuckle. sirius felt proud of himself for finding some emotion in this lad that wasnt rage. "im sirius." he said quietly. still tugging close onto regulus who was complaining that there was too much people as they and hundreds of other people made their way out of this 'lobby' place. god knows where there going.
"thats badass." remus responded shortly. stifling a smirk and glancing at this lad next to him. suddenly feeling a bit more collected around this lad.
