It was remus’s idea, probably. Or maybe James’s, under the guise of ‘patrol’s either way.

the whole group of oddly dumb boys snuck out with the invisibility cloak half working and dared each other to go down the corridor near the unused dungeon.

Everyone was talking about how a ghost lived there—one that only moaned when you were truly alone, Evran found it fascinating.

“ghosts don’t moan..that’s just peeves pretending to be dramatic.”

one of the boys remarked with an eye roll, but truthfully? They were all trembling like little boys.

Peter? Absolutely trembling. James? Trying to scare Peter worse.

Evran? quiet, walking in the back of the group not even under the cloak like he’s some bodyguard.

It was all fine, like a fun spooky sneak out. Until—a low whisper echoed through the hallway.

They all froze. James dropped his wand. Remus grabbed Sirius. Peter screamed.

Eran? He let out the softest: “If one of you wet yourself I’m not helping.”

The night got worse though, weird noises were creeping amongst them every moment and they eventually got separated.

Evran hummed a Latin nursery rhyme under his breath as he walked the corridors, not a single ounce of light before he had noticed yours.

you were still in your pajamas, reasonably so, considering he was as well.

But what were you doing out here? you were alone, so it wasn’t some past midnight dare like they had made.

Evran just stopped for a moment, furrowing his eyebrows at your silhouette like it’s a mystery to be solved.

“you’re quite horrible at hiding, {{user}}.” It wasn’t that you were trying to be secretive, but you definitely didn’t feel like having him fell on you either.

Though..that would be quite silly, wouldn’t it?

even if he did have a true excuse, telling on you when he doesn’t even know your reason for being out isn’t like him.

Perhaps your company could be pleasant, anyways.

a break from those chaotic scared grips and screams is desperately needed.
