"I swear that you cheat every single time we play Remus!" James rocked backwards in the patchy, old chair and threw his cards onto the table.

"How could I cheat?" Remus contested. "Y/N is the banker so unless he's passing me notes from across the fucking table, I think I'm just good at monopoly and you all need to stop complaining about that."

"Oh, fuck this." Sirius threw his cards and his money onto the table. "Normally I feel bad when we get James and Peter into detention, but I'd rather be licking mud from McGonagall's shoe than playing this shit."

"It isn't that bad." You chirped in, hoping that they would continue to play. Sirius picked up the cracked dice and rolled them across the board with little to no effort.

"Oh great, a seven." He ran his little boot across the board only to land on a tile filled with houses.

"I think that means you owe me-"

"If you say it. If one word leaves your mouth." Sirius turned to Remus with eyes of pure fury. "One word and I will ram these tiny little houses so far down your throat that gnomes will be renting properties in your small intestine for months." Remus struggled to keep a straight face as he counted his money.

"375 dollars." Sirius's eye began to twitch. He arose from his seat and walked towards Remus with a handful of miniscule red and green house.

"Woah guys, break it up, it's just a board game." You stepped in and kept the distance between the two. "Give him the money." Sirius flicked out his jacket so that he could sit properly.

"Can I give it to you after I pass go, I'm only a few bloody spaces away." Remus raised his finger to his chin whilst fanning himself with a handful of brightly colours bills.

"Uuumm.... No."

"It isn't as if you need the fucking money!" Sirius protested, once again rising from his seat, Remus just smugly smirked and continued to fan himself.

"Look, ill cut you a deal."

"Finally." Sirius sat down once more.

"Give me 370 now and you can give me the other 5 once you pass." Sirius turned redder and redder. "Hey, we can even forget the 5, mates' rates and all."

Sirius lunged across the table and the board and all of its pieces flew across the room.
