'It's a freaking Sunday, moony. Why in hell are you - ugh, draw the curtains. The light is killing me.' James struggled to shield himself.

'Its noon.' Remus said.

'So what? I could sleep throughout the day. Let me-' James didn't even complete the sentence and dozed right back into his blanket.

Remus watched as James, Sirius and Peter slept.

'Sorry Lily, James is sleeping-' Remus got crushed to the ground with a wide awake James.

'No I am awake. Where's Evans? Where's- Goddamnit Lupin, why do you do that shit to me? Evans isn't even here, is she?' James said getting up waving his hand hoping to reach his glasses.

'To wake you up. It's a foolproof plan and clearly you never are able to detect it.'

'Now what?'

'Wake padfoot.' Remus said.
'Let the idiot sleep.' James said.

'Wake him.' Remus said.

'Hey, Marlene. No, Sirius's sleeping- he is not here.' James shouted loudly.

Nothing happened.
Remus stared at him. 'No, you moron, that only works on you. Of course, he won't wake up.'

Remus leant into sirius's ear and whispered 'I am going to cut your hair. It's going to ruin and never look sexy again.'

Sirius twitched and a hand went to protect his hair.

'Nothing.' James laughed. 'See, nothing works on him.'

'Atleast Peter's easy. Keeps some bacon near his nose.' Remus said.

'Let them sleep, Remus. You have already spoilt the day for me.' James said.

'Spoilt? Fine.'

'Is it snowing?' James asked.
'No, it's September.' Remus said.

'Is it raining?' James asked.
'No, it's sunny. Come on.' Remus said.

'Why would I go? You said, it's sunny. You know how sun harm's my smooth and silky skin. I don't even have sunscreen or moisturiser. Sorry, bro.'

Remus stared at him.
'You are clearly copying sirius's excuse. Not gonna work.'

'Fine, let's go wherever you want to go.. It better not be shit.'

'Don't be a bore, James.'

'Oh I am the one being a bore, Moony?'
'Definitely' Remus said.

'This is fun, right? Just the two of us? Hanging around. I mean the two of us rarely hang out together.' Remus commented.

'What are you talking about? We hang out all the time.' James said.

'No. The four of us hang out all the time. We two have never much hung out together.'

'No way. I have hung out with you many times.'

'No.. you haven't actually. Now shut up, someone might hear you.'

'Yeah, I wanted to talk about that. You were all like it's sunny outside. It's a pleasant day. Why are we walking in a creepy dusty dingy.. is that a spider? What is this shit place?'

'Keep walking, prongs.'

'If this is about the map, we only add important things in that. We can't possibly try to locate all possible corridors in Hogwarts.' James said.

'Do you know the way back?' James asked.

'I guess.' Remus said.
'You guess? You guess? It's the end of the corridor. What next?'

'The hole.' Remus pointed. There was a big hole with just enough space for them to crawl inside it.

'I am not crawling into that shit hole, Remus.'

'What? No. I am dead sure. I am not going in- hey.' James called after getting pushed in by Remus.

Remus jumped in.

'This is huge in here. Definitely an engorgement charm.' James observed.

'Come this way.'

'Dude it's too dark. Can I atleast light up this place?' James asked.

'Whatever.'
'Lumos'.

James squinted his eyes before opening them.
'Wha--- Remus. Where the hell are you taking me? Wait, is this a laundry room? Are you taking me to do my laundry?'

'Its not a laundry room. Here, down from the trapdoor.'

James shrugged then jumped below.
Remus did the same.

'Is this-- no way. You did not just stumble upon to the Hogwarts Quidditch Hall of Fame.' James was in awe.

Remus looked around. It was the same since he had last found it.

Portraits of all previous quidditch captain's were hung one after the other.

Going further ahead they found a section of stunts in Hogwarts history and a chart showing number of wins of all houses in the past 100 years.

Slytherin -- 34
Gryffindor -- 33
Hufflepuff -- 27
Ravenclaw -- 6

'That is not possible. Ravenclaw has won just six times in the last hundred years?' James asked.

'Thats what it says here.' Remus shrugged.

'This is genius, Remus. The scrolls here show ancient techniques which will be completely unaware of the opponent teams.'

'Nice, right?'

'How did you find this place?' James asked without taking his eyes off everything.

'I tripped.' Remus said as if it explained everything.

'I tripped and fell down a chute. Many entrances to this place.' Remus said.

'A chute?'
'Yeah.'

'So I guess, I owe you.' said James.

'Nah. We are friends. Friends don't owe each other.' Remus said.

'No. I am not taking Dorcas to the ball. Are you out of your mind?' James asked.

'Come on, James you have to.'

'In a few hours you will have changed your mind about all of this. Trust me.'

'Thats why I need you to do this.'

'I don't think I can do this to you.' James said.

'You have to. You owe me. Without me, you wouldn't have gotten to the next month's final.'

'I owe you? What about all that friendly shit?' James asked.

'You owe me.' Remus repeated.
'You son of a bitch.' James muttered.
