Dark!Mauraders where a prank on Severus goes TERRIBLY WRONG
(okay not quite what you asked for…)
- James saw Severus heading towards the Whomping Willow on their map. He caught Sirius’s eye and grinned.
- “Told ya he’d take the bait,” Sirius said with a wild look in his eye.
- “Okay so in a few minutes he’s going to be meeting Moony.” James checked his watch.
- “And then that greasy little oddball is no longer our problem. Moony said he was looking forward to it. Wormtail’s in position by the tree to freeze it.”
- in the morning, Severus Snape lay dead in the tunnel leading from the Whomping Willow to the Shrieking Shack. Remus played grief-stricken and Albus Dumbledore told him not to worry.
- with Hagrid’s (reluctant) help, Albus carried Severus’s mangled body into the Forbidden Forest. He told the school there had been a tragic accident and to remind them all that the Forbidden Forest was forbidden for a reason.
- later, Albus discreetly congratulated the boys for eliminating their ‘little problem’. James & Sirius just grinned and reminded Albus of the promise he’d made to them all.
- after Voldemort’s defeat, Albus Dumbledore took over the wizarding world with his trust lieutenants James Potter, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew and his werewolf enforcer, Remus Lupin.
