Sirius sat in the Great Hall, using his quill to hit the side of his goblet. He wasn't hungry. How could he be? Dumbledore had just confided in him and he was already nervous and anxious about the information that he knew. He took a deep breath and tried to clear his thoughts, but they wouldn't budge. Why had Dumbledore decided to tell him? Why didn't he tell James? Did James have something to do with it? What about Remus? He was a prefect...he could have told him... Were the two of them tangled up in this as well?
"Someone has been marked."
"Marked, Professor?" Sirius sat in front of Dumbledore's desk, scratching his head lightly. At first he had thought this meeting was about him cheating on his last Defense Against the Dark Arts paper. He had only looked off Moony's paper one during the whole thing! It wasn't his fault he couldn't remember what the signs for identifying a Vampire were. He brushed some of his hair out of his face and stared at the Professor across his desk.
"Marked, Sirius."
"And that means...?"
"That means that the war has begun." Dumbledore looked old in that moment, adjusting his horn rimmed spectacles as he stared at Sirius, "I need you to find out who it was. I'm sure you and your friends have-" His eye glistened as he spoke, "Ways of doing that, don't you?" It was as if he knew. As Sirius sat there looking at him, he was almost positive that Dumbledore knew exactly what they could do. He, Prongs, and Wormtail were all unregistered animagi and Moony? Well, Moony was a bloody werewolf. Sirius took a deep breath.
"But Professor-"
"They are no buts when it comes to matters such as these." Dumbledore laughed a raspy laugh and shooed Sirius from the office, "The full moon is tomorrow! Lemon Drop?"
Sirius buried his face in his hand. What did it all mean? Who had been marked? What war was this? Could the rumors be true? He would have to do some digging...And by that, he meant that he would have to put his feet up and stare at Remus doing some digging. There was no way that he was going to spend more time in the library than he already had to.

James smiled at one rather persistent boy who had been trailing him for the past our. He had diffused almost all the others by telling them he was only interested in one person at the moment. Yet this boy would not stop following him like a lost puppy. James pinched the bridge of his nose as he got to the doors of the Great Hall. He was starting to regret telling everyone he was gay. Lily was not worth this.
"Right, I'm not interested in yo. Period. Sorry, Kid." James tried one last time but the boy had no reaction. James through his hands up in the air in frustration before he pivoted on his foot and walked into the Hall, gazing around for his friends.
Sirius sat, not looking to good. Nor was he stuffing his face with food. What a rare occasion. James slowly picked his way over to Padfoot, making sure to avoid all eye contact with people. He found that when he made eye contact with anybody they instantly thought he was interested in them. Prongs let his bag fall onto the bench across from Sirius and smiled.
"Hey, Padfoot, what's wrong?"

"OH THANK MERLIN." Sirius said when he saw James sit down across from him. He threw a roll at the boy and then scoffed, "You couldn't have come sooner, could you? I only wrote 'Dear Prongs...It's urgent. Please meet me NOW.' Didn't I?" He picked up another roll and chucked it at James' face, not worrying if any of the teachers saw. Throwing food was a good way to lose a couple of house points, but Sirius was past caring at this point. He needed to blow of a little steam anyways. One more roll was launched in the air and then Sirius' head fell so that he was looking at his empty plate.
"Dumbledore called me to his office today." He said with a slight frown and looked up at James, trying to make puppy dog eyes, "And before you saying anything, it wasn't because I was cheating on my Vampire essay. I swear." He held up his hands in innocence and then dropped them to his lap. He looked to his left and then to his right to make sure that no one was paying attention to him.
Leaning forward slightly so that they couldn't be overheard, Sirius began to whisper, "Dumbledore says that someones been marked and that the war's started and he wants us to figure out who it is and he also-" He frowned, "He said something about the full moon. You don't think that he knows 'bout...us, do you?" Sirius hadn't been scared that someone would find out until now. He realized that being an unregistered Animagus was a huge liability and liable to get them expelled.

James caught the last roll, after being pelted with the two before, with a scowl. He rolled his eyes and took a huge bite off the roll. As Sirius was talking he was about to make a comment about how it was from him cheating but Sirius cut him off. Well, Sirius is really worked up. He's never wrked up. It's sort of weird.
James sighed and swallowed the bite of roll, chasing it quickly with some pumkin juice before he sighed. He didn't understand anything that Sirius was going on about. To him it was up and over his head in a heartbeat. Sort of like Ancient Ruins or Muggle Studies.
"Okay, calm down and explain to me what exactly Dumbledore meant by that garble. Someone has been marked? What the hell is a mark." James shook his head with a sigh. "What do you think, Sirius? Dumbledore knows everything. He's bound to have stuck his abnormally large nose into the fact we also disappear around the full moon."

"His nose isn't that big..." Sirius said and took another roll from the center of the table. He bit down on it and then stared at James, "You know, if I actually knew what Dumbledore meant, I would tell you. Honestly, I would. In fact, we probably wouldn't even be having this conversation right now." Sirius rolled his eyes and put some butter on the roll, "All he said was, Someone's been marked." He waved his hands around in the air for a moment to imitate Dumbledore and then shoved the rest of the roll into his mouth in one bite.
"Marked could mean anything...Marked as in a grade. A tattoo. A marker." Sirius rolled his eyes, "I don't know why he had to go and put something like this on us...we're just a couple of guys...who know nothing about anything. Except-" Sirius grinned a little despite how off he was feeling, "Except for hexes and pranks. We know a lot about those."
He sincerely doubted that Dumbledore had chosen them for the job because they could prank and hex the hell out of Hogwarts, but he couldn't quite come up with another explanation, "Full moon's tomorrow. Do you think that Moony is ready? He's been pretty moody lately. Hope he doesnt...you know, hurt anyone." Remus had been really out of control and it was getting harder for Padfoot and Prongs to keep him down when he was changing.

Padfoot shrugged. This was such a hevy topic. He just wasn't in the mood for such a heavy topic. He hadn't been laughing and joking in forver, it felt like. He finished his roll, decided he was full, and leaned back, placing a and over his stomach.
"Moony'll be fine. It hurts to change, Sirius. You'd probably be a little moody too if you knew in a couple of days your body was going to have every single bone broken and claws pierce your skin, wouldn't you?"
James leaned closer to Sirius with a small smile. "So, have you heard the news? I'm gay."

"I still don't think that gives him the right to be all pissy all the time." Sirius said and rolled his eyes, "I mean honestly, it's like he's on his man-period and I just can't handle it. At all. Ever." Sirius loved Remus to death, but the days before the change were always the worst. He just wanted to put him into the broom closet and leave him there until he finished his little freak out. That would make the world a lot happier.
"Gay? Who knew!" Sirius said and leaned back, immediately infected by James' smile. The boy certainly hated anything that was serious and he always found a way to bring it back to joking in a matter of minutes, "Well actually, I shouldn't say who knew. In reality, I've known all along. You and Moony both fancy me." He said with a dangerous wink and grabbed James' glasses off of his face and pulled out his wand.
He put the glasses on and waved his arms back and forth, "World did you hear? The likes of me, Mr. James Potter is gay! Lucius Malfoy! Come. And. Get. Me!" He said with a loud laugh. He threw the glasses back to James and then shook his head, "What happened to Lily, then? Did she finally admit that she was in love with me? Or Remus perhaps? Did she go back to Snivillius?"

James frowned as he started wiping off his glasses with a sigh. Hanging around Sirius could be such a child at times. But who was he to complain? He could be immature when he wanted to. "I certainly don't fancy you. And currently I think Remus wants to bite off your head. Remus has every right to be pissy."
James slid his glasses back onto his face, running another hand throughhis hair. But Lily and I are at an agrrement. She hates me. I told everyong I'm gay to get them to stop attacking me. And now I have guys throwing themselves at me. Story of my life. What about you? How's your love life, Sirius?"

"Well I'm sorry you don't love me the way I do you, Potter." Sirius said, mockingly pretending to be hurt by Prongs. He put his hand on his heart and grinned, "I'm afraid I'll never get over this one. Never in a million years." Hand on his forehead, he pretended like he was feeling faint. Then he rolled his eyes and turned off the theatrics just as soon as he started them.
"Shame, Lily was quite a catch. Guess Remus will have a go now. Or maybe that Marcas bloke." He shrugged his shoulders when James mentioned his love life, "Mine? Eh. Nothing much going on. I'm supposed to have a date with that Fae Roux girl in the next couple of days. Not tomorrow, obviously because of the moon...but eventually. We'll see how that goes." He blushed slightly. Fae was different then most of the girls that he flirted with, "Took her out on the bike, if you know what I mean." He said with a nasty grin and wink and used his arm to shove James playfully.

James sighed, standing up. He wasn't in a playful mood. He needed something to distract him. Something fun but not over played. Perhaps... "Hey, Sirius, you know about the Acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest, right? How about we... go tame one... and bring it into Hogwarts?" James winked as he smiled, running another hand through his hair. On habit he stared, looking for something to play with. Then, he remembered that he had told everyone he was gay. That would not work out.
"Right, first things first, though." James jumped up to the table, looking around and waiting until he got the full attention of everyone around him. "By now you've probably heard I'm gay. Well I'm not. It was just a nasty joke. That is all." James hopped down from the table and smiled at Sirius.
"So what do you say? You up for it?

Sirius grinned nastily, "Oh I am always game for a new pet! Wormtail was getting pretty old anyways." He said and jumped up from his seat and almost falling flat on his face. He brushed off his pants and then tried to play it cool, flipping the collar of his uniform up and then grinning wickedly, "How do you propose that we find them, eh?" He asked, tapping his hand on his chin as he leaned over on the table. He grabbed a couple of rolls and shoved them into his pockets.
"We could always try and lead one of them out..." He picked up another roll and threw it into the air, catching it as it came back down, "Or..." He said, heading for the door, assuming that Prongs was coming behind him, "I could get my Beater's bat and we could just club the first big arse spider that we see." The gears were turning in his head, "Then we plant it for Remus to find during Prefect duty tonight. It's perfect."

Jams shrugged. Who knows. We'll figure out when we get there. What's the worse that's going to happen? We'll get eaten and you won't be able to make it for your date. Too bad. " James shrugged as he turned on his heel. "I actually wanted to put in the girls lavatories... I don't think Remus would appreciate that before the full moon. Or the Prefects' Bathroom. Give someone a scare during... coitus."

"I know for a fact that Lucius Malfoy attempts to shite in the Prefect's bathroom when no one's around at like 11:30 at night. It's awful really. You want to know how I found out? I was talking to Remus one night and he appears out of the blue. We had your invisibility cloak by the way, hope you don't mind." Sirius winked and then continued, "And so we're standing there and he comes by with this foul awful stench! Oh it was awful. And he runs into the bathroom and the sounds....Oh Merlin the sounds were awful. It was like a dying Hippogriff!"
Sirius said and could hardly contain his laughter. He walked out of the Great Hall and made a sharp turn so that he could go toward the stairs that led to the entrance hall and from there he could go outside. He loved the outdoors. He walked quickly, turning every so often to make sure that James was still following him.

James reluctantly followed after Sirius before he broke off and sat down next to some random girl. A Chang perhaps? And snuggled up close. She laughed and swatted at him but just like that he had plans to meet in his dorm later that night. That'd have to do for now.
James walked at a leisurly pase behind Sirius, in no hurry whatsoever. He had been pretty disgusted hearing aboyt things like Malfoy's bowel habits and was in no hurry to start another conversation with Sirius

Sirius turned around fully because he couldn't see James. He stopped, turned in a circle and then walked in the direction that he thought James had gone, "What are you doing, mate?" He asked when he finally found him, "Alright...I know the whole Malfoy thing was a bit tactless, but when have I ever been the classiest person in the world." He shrugged his shoulders and then turned away from James and began walking toward the forest again.
James had gotten him hooked on this idea that he was going to catch a giant spider and that was exactly what he was going to do. Padfoot wouldn't stop until he had a little 8-legged beastie that he could set free to terrorize the entire school, "I shall call our little friend Wormtail 2.0. And he shall be my new pet. Much better than Peter because he won't talk." He nodded in satisfaction.
