Lily rejected James. Again.
Remus, the night before leaving for Hogwarts:
James and Sirius:
You pay this woman to sit on babies? That's disgusting. I'd sit on a baby for nothing.
Sirius Black, to Lily Potter about the babysitter that she hired
where did these ideas about the marauders even come from like we know about 0.3% about them from the series
Remus: You don't hate me? But... I'm a werewolf!
James: Remus. See this arm? It's actually shorter than my other arm but you can't really tell. Especially when I twirl like this.
Peter: I'm lactose intolerant.
Sirius: I'm OBNOXIOUS!
Sirius Black: So now that we know Remus Lupin is actually Werewolf McWerewolf we gotta do something totally awesome to help him out once a month while he's ReMSing.
James Potter: I completely agree.
Sirius Black: We should be animals.
James Potter: I wanna be a dragon.
Sirius Black: I wanna be an Acromantula.
James: I wanna be a boggart and take the form of my enemy's greatest fear.
Sirius: I wanna be a freaking hippogriff and fly around majestic as fuck.
*research*
James: This looks really hard.
Sirius: Yeah this is gonna take forever.
James: Or, hear me out, you could probably be a dog. Sirius Black. Black Dog. Get it?
Sirius: Yeah, you can be a deer or something.
James: Why a deer?
Sirius: Why NOT a deer?
James: Fuck yeah.
*Marauder high-five*
James laughed. "I don't know if she's interested, mate."
Sirius scoffed. "Of course she's interested, Prongs. You see, I happen to have something called the magic touch."
"You have the what?" James asked, unable to control his laughter.
"The magic touch," Sirius repeated, a touch of defiance in his voice.
"So you have 'the touch?'" Remus asked with a grin. "That sounds like something you should get looked at."
"What? No, you idiots, the magic touch -- how do you not know what I'm talking about?" Sirius protested.
"We're all magic," James stated, with a grin identical to Remus's.
"So we literally all have the 'magic touch,' Sirius," Remus added.
"So really, you're just saying you have 'the touch,'" James said.
"Sounds terribly dirty," Remus said, unable to keep a straight face any longer.
"Sounds diseased, really," Peter chimed in.
"You know what," Sirius said loudly, "You're all terrible friends."
James gaped indignantly. "Sirius!"
"Don't listen to him, James. It's 'the touch' talking," Remus said, smirking.
Lily: I just wanted to thank you guys for taking care of Harry tonight.
Sirius: Mhmm.
Lily: I mean, I just really appreciate it, you know?
Remus: Oh... thats...
Lily: Just to have a night free of stress and worry... Thanks, you two.
Sirius: Oh, don't thank us.
Remus: No really, DO NOT thank us.
Lily: Wait— what?
James: WHY IS THERE A MURAL DEDICATED TO PADFOOT ON OUR LIVING ROOM WALL
Sirius: Moony. Grab the irreversible crayons and run.
Sirius: So, we still on for tonight?
Remus: You mean tonight, the night when I painfully turn into a werewolf and you try to stop me from killing others while trying to stay alive yourself?
Sirius: Yeah...
Remus: Obviously
