Sirius had decided that he'd had enough of being inside, and Quidditch practise was simply not enough to fill his desire for being outside in the fresh air and the hate of being cooped up inside. This probably stemmed from the fact that he struggled to get enough time outside due to both his mother's restrictions and the fact that the back door only opened when it was in the right mood.
So here he was sitting on a bench on the cold and windy, early November morning. A library book he had borrowed many times, lying open next to him on a page containing a particularly gruesome illustration of a severed leg. He may not have taken muggle studies, but the idea of muggle medicine was of particular amusement to him.

Remus was at a loose end, and had been mooching through the corridors to try and find James and Sirius, but unable to find them inside, he wandered outside and found himself in the court. Seeing Sirius sat on a bench, he sighed and walked over to him. "I've been looking for you for ages." He said sitting down with a plop. "Sirius, I'm bored!" He whined. He then spotted the book. "Ooh what's that?" He reached across his friend to look at the book.
"Hey have you seen James, by the way? He's sloped off again and I'm sure he's up to no good."

Sirius turned to see who had called out to him, glad that it was Remus and not someone annoying. "Sorry, had to get outside, you know, while it wasn't raining." He smiled when Remus said he was bored, which was slightly out of character for his friend but Remus seemed to be doing lots of things out of character lately, like talking to girls, and kissing them.
"Just a book about muggle medicine." he said with a shrug. "I like the pictures." he smiled when Remus asked about James.
"He went off to the kitchens a while ago. Apparently Peter said something about how girls can't be that different from us, and we all like food. So James has decided to bake Evans a present." He stifled a laugh.

Remus flicked through the book, while Sirius spoke. "Woah, this is just wrong." He said, looking down at the severed leg again, before setting the book down and looking back up at his friend. "Oh good grief, he's not is he?" He laughed at the thought and wondered what had caused James to try such a new approach at winning Lily's affections. "I hope he realises that she will probably smack him in the face with it." He smirked. "She's hardly very trusting of him, she will think he put something in it."
He leaned back on the bench and stretched his legs out. "Have you seen Jaimi recently?" He asked over casually.

"It's absolutely gruesome, I'm the only person to have got it out in over ten years." He said with a grin.
"Oh yes, he is." he said adding his Bark like laughter to Moony's "Is it wrong that I want top be there when she throws it in his face?" He thought about what Moony said about putting something in it. "Well he's hardly got anything to lose by putting something in it if she's just going to throw it in his face. What's the likelihood of him coming to that conclusion too?"
"I was just thinking that it's not like you to be bored. Does the lure of study pale in comparison to the love of your life?" he quipped with a smirk.

Giggling Remus nodded. "Oh no, it's not wrong. I want to see that to." He agreed with Sirius in his assumption. "Yeah, you're probably right. Poor James, I hope she gives in soon, for all our sakes." Remus looked at his friend a little sheepishly. "Well I do have homework to finish, but I can't concentrate on it. I'm thinking about her all the time."
He picked up the book again, and gazed down at the severed leg. "It's been quite a while since we got together, she's been a bit...distant, like something's troubling her." He sighed. "I feel a bit like that severed leg." He looked back up at Sirius. "Do you think she's gone off me, but is finding it hard to tell me?"

Sirius smiled wryly at the thought of James with food on his face, not wanting to eat it because it had an 'I love James Potter' potion in it.
"Ahhh Moony, you have to learn to block the women from your mind so that you can still work. I'll have to teach you." He stopped as Remus moodily picked up the book again. Something was wrong. He listened as his friend talked, it wasn't often they talked seriously like this. he wasn't always good at listening, but if Remus was worried enough to talk to Sirius of all people he was going to damn well try.
"She wouldn't do that." he said confidently and as reassuringly as he could. "I'm sure there's a reason, and that she is troubled about something, but I'm sure its nothing to do with the two of you. She is a Ravenclaw in her fourth year, I'm sure she's just getting more and more homework that she was before."

Remus smiled at Sirius's offer to help him block women from his mind. "Now that I will take you up on mate." He listened as Sirius spoke about Jaimi, his smile slipped as he processed the logic behind his friends words. Eventually he nodded his head and agreed. "Yeah, I suppose you're right. I never considered that." He knew it was a big thing for Sirius to be so supportive on such an issue, so he gave him a friendly nudge in thanks.
Changing the subject to something more to Sirius's comfort zone, he pulled out a bag of Fizzing Wizbiies and offered it to Sirius. "So how's the practice sessions going? Do you think we have a good chance of winning the next match?"

Sirius smiled across at his friend in appreciation for the change of subject and nudged him back. He took a fizzing Wizzbiie and threw it in to the air, catching it in his mouth.
He thought for a moment about how practice, the little that had managed to be organised was going. "It's a good thing we've got a few weeks to try and get some more practice in, but we'll be ok." he said confidently. When it came to Quiddicth Sirius was normally confident about what he said. He wasn't the kind of person who loyally supported a team though, it made it easier to not hate people over a sport more than he hated the Slytherin Team. That was different though, that was rivalry, and the fact that they were Slytherins of course.
"I was considering the target of our next prank though." he said absent mindedly.

Remus nodded thoughtfully, as he munched on his fizzing wizzbie. "Well mate, if you need someone to practice with, I'd be willing to help out." He Smirked and tried to mimic Sirius catching a sweet, but he missed. Damn!" He picked it from his chest and popped it in his mouth, grinning. "I'm a bit more graceful on a broom, though not much." he joked.
Remus looked interested. "Oh yeah...Who?" he handed him some sweets.

Sirius smiled across at Remus as he offered to practise with him. He smile widened when he imagined the marauders playing together and Peter trying to keep up with them. Bless the little squirt, he';d never had much luck with stuff like that. "That could be fun." He said. In a way he wished Jaimi could join them, just to humiliate Remus with how bad he was compared to a girl, but it wouldn't happen, what with her being on the Ravenclaw team and assuming that it was to try and work out her weakness for their match against each other.
He raised an eyebrow, for being so clever Remus could be quick to forget how those with simpler minds used theirs. "My dear Moony, we were just talking about our first Quiddicth match against Slytherin, and I then said that I'd been thinking about the targets for our next prank. Think like me and what does that tell you?" he asked leaning back into the bench and stretching his legs out.

Remus grinned when Sirius accepted his offer of help. He didn't often get the chance to do something positive for his friends, and they were always quick and ready to help him. He was glad in a small way, he could give something back.
Remus knitted his eyebrows together, as he momentarily mulled over Sirius's comment. Then smiling, he realised what he meant. "Oh!" Which was quickly followed by a. "Sorry." He looked worried, and voiced his thoughts. "Do you think it's wise to knobble the opposing team? I mean, we can't make it look obvious. We'll get expelled!"

Sirius laughed as Remus voiced his concerns. As much as he would like to he wasn't going to cripple them before the match, that wasn't in the interest of fair play.
"I'm not talking about hurting them Moony, it's a prank not a plan for genocide. I'm just talking about humiliating them. Before and after the match." He grinned he looked down at the picture of the severed leg. "Knowing the Slytherin team they are planning something too, so we'll let them go first, and act in retaliation."

Remus smirked at Sirius. "I knew that." He said with an embarrassed laugh. He looked thoughtful for a moment, trying to think of a possible idea. "It's a tough call. I mean how do we make them look like they have egg on their faces, without attracting attention ourselves?"
He thought again. "We could hit them with a Jelly legs jinx, I suppose?" He offered lamely. formulating pranks was usually between James and Sirius. He just supported them, and tried to make sure they didn't go over the top. Not that he ever succeeded in that.

Sirius thought for a moment before Moony decided to answer his own question with a suggestion. In fairness it wasn't a bad one, but the method was lacking slightly, if they could come up with a way to do it without getting caught or seeming to be doing anything that would be amazing.
"You know I like the idea of them not being able to stand up after they've lost." he said musingly. "We'll talk to James later. He might even know what's up with Jaimi, he saw her on the Quiddicth pitch the other day."
