“okay, i never thought i’d be saying these words to you, yet here i stand. you’ve gone bloody mad!” remus hissed, a pathetic attempt to keep his voice down in the hauntingly echoey corridor. “i trusted you to be one of the sensible ones! just this once!”

remus often found himself in situations like these: midnight wanderings, mischief, complete and utter chaos…

the list goes on when describing these late-night shenanigans.

and all at the hands and from the minds of james and sirius, who had thought up a new prank idea only a few hours ago at dinner in the great hall.

remus had been dragged (forced) into this havoc-causing scheme, as always. sirius and james were off on the other side of the castle, doing merlin knows what to make sure their “harmless prank” goes perfectly. which it hardly ever did, in the eyes of remus. and the professors. and the entirety of the school.

with james and sirius off on their own little mission, that only left remus himself, you, and an unfortunate peter to deal with the second part of their master prank.

it had to have been well past midnight, creeping up on 1:00am, surely.

the corridors were practically pitch black. looking straight ahead was about as useful as being blindfolded.

yet the three of you bolted on toward the gryffindor common room, remus silently praying that none of the house ghosts or filch’s dreaded cat were lurking around a corner to catch them meandering about at this ungodly hour.

“oh, for the love of merlin-“ remus muttered, completely exasperated as he followed right on your heels, peter trailing behind, doing his best not to trip on any uneven stones in the floor as he kept pace. “we’re all gonna get caught. we’re all insane.”
