James and Sirius whispered about Remus, about his sick mother and his mysterious scars, but they never really did anything about it, being more worried about their next prank.

Peter, however, followed Remus as he was escorted down the grounds the next month. Breathing heavily, he watched as Madam Pomfrey thrust a long stick into the midst of the Whomping Willow. Immediately, the tree froze, and Peter’s mouth dropped open.

It was James who made the lunar connection, but Peter still thought of this new development as his triumph, his werewolf revelation, his trip to rathood.

He never regretted it.

‘So we’ve got a spy,’ thought Sirius. ‘It’s got to be you.’

The four of them were in a pub, almost like the old days - except it was their last drink before James went into hiding.

‘We’ve outsmarted you this time. I’m not the secret keeper.’

Already, though, things were different. There was a war and there was a traitor, and their conversation revolved around the uncontroversial. The weather. Quidditch. Sirius found himself wishing it was over.

‘I can’t believe you’re just sitting there as if you’re our friend.’

As their eyes met, Remus gave him a nervous smile.

James taught Dora Quidditch.

Lily asked her what they should name the baby.

Peter taught her to make lots of lovely, smelly potions.

Sirius told her story after story about all the Nymphadoras in the family.

Then, one day, James, Lily and Peter died. Sirius had betrayed and murdered them.

The next day, Sirius was thrown into Azkaban, and Aunt Bellatrix was arrested for torturing two people until they'd gone crazy.

After that, Dora turned her black hair bright pink, and demanded to be called Tonks.

Blacks hurt people. Blacks were bad.

She didn't want to be a Black anymore.

A/N: I'm so sorry. This is really bad.

"Hagrid!"

Guiltily, Hagrid turned around, "Well, hello there, Hermione!" He said brightly, recovering, "What are you doing?"

Eyes streaming, Hermione pointed to the bucket in Hagrid's hands, keeping her hand clamped over her nose, "What is that, Hagrid?"

"Oh, this?" He asked, glancing down, "Well, it's spring, Hermione."

Hermione rolled her eyes, "What does spring have to do with that horrible smell?"

"That's when she lays her eggs, of course." Hagrid explained, "They fetch a good price down at the pub."

Looking rather green, Hermione asked, "Her eggs? A good price?"

Hagrid smiled, "Squid Roe is a delicacy, you know."

A/N: This one is actually worse...

Sirius stared at the lake, "James?"

James didn't move, "Yes, Sirius?"

"Look at the lake."

James sighed, rolled over on the bank, and humored his friend, "What about it?"

Eyes wide in the dark, Sirius shuddered, "Should it be doing that?"

"Doing what?" Exasperated, James stared at the water, seeing nothing unusual in the waves.

Sirius pointed at the water, "The waves, James. There's no wind and it is a lake."

Quickly, James stifled a laugh, "Relax, Sirius, it's just a Squid summer night's dream."

Peter sat up at that, protesting, "But, it's fall."

Remus grinned wolfishly, "Shut up, Peter."

It was James’s idea; these things often were. His friends had doubts.

“We’re just going to give away years of hard work?” Sirius demanded. “They should work for it, as we did!”

“Padfoot, relax,” James said with his mischievous grin. “I’ve got a plan.”

Years later, twin redheads nicked a piece of old parchment from a filing cabinet. Eager fingers spread the blank sheet of paper apart, and playful eyes widened at the words that appeared.

The Marauder’s Map had been charmed to recognize those who would use it best. “I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.”

Seven linked drabbles, though I think that each could stand alone.
