moony: the who now?
pratfoot: the marauders.

and now you too!
moony: oh.
thank you.
i feel so honored.
pratfoot: i know you were being sarcastic but i'm taking it as real excitement.
so moony,meet my friends James and Peter.
aka Prongs and Wormtail.
moony: sirius we have already said hello,you're late to the party.
but thank you for introducing me to them.
wouldn't have met my number 1 bestfriend if it wasn't for you,padfoot.
bambi: too right.
pratfoot: oh my god.
wormtail i am being ganged up on!
quick back me up!
wormy: i will do no such thing.
i rather like moony.He is a funny man
moony: why thank you wormtail.
pratfoot: guyssssss.
bambi: don't worry pads,we're just messing.
we're not going to steal your boyfriend away just yet ;)
pratfoot: count your days,Potter.
bambi: oooh yikes,what you gonna do?
wormy do you remember that time.
pratfoot: NO
wormy remembers no times!
none.
zero.
zilch.
wormy: ah yes because i am suddenly blank.
go on prongs.
pratfoot: you dare reveal any of my secrets and i will tell everyone in the great hall about 'sticky'
bambi: suddenly i am quiet :)
moony: what the hell is sticky?
pratfoot: thats what she said
anyways
moony: gross
bambi: ew
wormy: you disgust me
pratfoot: ANYWAYS
bambi: padfoot.
no.
pratfoot: padfoot.
yes.
sticky was James' pet stick.When we were in first year i went to his house
i witnessed the moment mum found sticky and threw it out the window.
he cried.
bambi: did not.
pratfoot: did too.
bambi: alright i did.She had no right.
moony: that's so sweet.
poor james.
and poor sticky.
bambi: alright then padfoot,since we're sharing stories.
pratfoot: NO I'M SORRY!!!!
bambi: too late,my love.
so.
imagine a 13 year old Sirius
well,you can't because you've not even seen 17 year old Sirius but just play along moony.
moony: 🫡
bambi: so 13 year old Sirius,frustratingly handsome.Had all the girls swooning after his change over summer.
pratfoot: you make it sound like i died my hair or some shit.I went through puberty.
bambi: yes.
so,you may say we're somewhat the biggest legends of all time when it comes to pranking.
and by this point Sirius,wormtail and i had all gotten close enough to consider eachother our brothers.
padfoot was in the shower,taking FAR too long on his "perfect hair"
pratfoot: it is perfect.
bambi: sure.
so i took his clothes from the bathroom,which he stupidly left unlocked.
pratfoot: i don't like being alone in there! when i can't hear over the shower what if someone kidnaps me.
moony: while your showering?
bambi: don't even get him started,he makes me sit in the bathroom with him most of the time
because "James what if someone comes to kidnap you and i can't hear because of the shower"
moony: drama queen
wormy: exactly.
bambi: anyways,i ran off and he chased me,only a towel around his waist all the way into the common room.
i'll never forget the faces of the drooling girls and the terrified first years.
pratfoot: it was so embarassing.
all the older kids just sat there revising
ugh god.
moony: wow.
that is unfortunate.
would have been hilarious.
bambi: it was.oh it so was.
wormy: can confirm,as a victim of seeing a half naked,14 year old Sirius just stood like a deer in headlights.
it was pretty funny.
pratfoot: was not.
i hate you all.
bambi: you do not,don't be a drama queen Sirius.
pratfoot: sorry,mother james.
bambi: cut it out.
pratfoot: yes mother,sorry mother.
moony: wow,posh boarding school life sounds fun.
pratfoot: it can be.
pros and cons.
like a pro is definitely the meals.
however
a con?
living with mother james.
he stress cleans and yells at wormy and i :(
wormy: can confirm :(
bambi: oh bugger off.
atleast i tidy.
pratfoot: mother james.
bambi: slob.
pratfoot: ...
i'm leaving.
you're annoying.
goodbye.
padfoot and moony!
