Remus was often the brains behind the marauders tricks, and as such was always there when the plan was executed. So he often made his getaway just before the prank caught the attention of the crowd, just far enough away to not be caught in the mix.

He bolted down the corridor after James poured itching powder down Snivilus’ robes and watched as the boy writhed in discomfort.

”ah- shite” Remus groaned. You were well and truly trapped.
