Road trip with the Marauders would include?
The whole thing was Peter’s idea, it just being the five of you for the summer after leaving Hogwarts
Arguing about whose music to listen to
Sirius usually wins because he has the best taste in music
Although it does mean Sirius will obnoxiously sing along at the top of his lungs
Somehow this ends in you all singing along together, shouting to be heard over each other
Peter coming up with the idea to take turns with who gets to chose the song. It works for awhile until James and Sirius get fed up with it
“You’re playing that song on purpose! You know I hate it!”
“I did not! I was just playing what I wanted to hear! Hey! Stop, it’s not your turn, you can’t just hit next because you don’t like my choice!”
In between singing, Sirius spends a lot of time complaining
“Are we there yet?”
“Are you kidding, Sirius? It’s literally only be five minutes since the last time you’ve asked”
Who gets to sit shotgun is hotly contested every time you get back in the car
Sirius is never allowed to sit in the front if James is driving and vice versa
Making sure to be near an isolated forest if there’s a full moon coming
Remus is the only thing standing between the five of you and being completely lost
Everyone pulls the “slowly drive away when someone is trying to open their car door move” at least one
Taking tons of photos to remember the journey by
First one to fall asleep each night gets pranked
The best of all the pranks was when James woke up in the middle of a lake, None of you could remember whose idea it was because you were all laughing too hard
The car spends an unfortunate amount of time smelling like wet dog after it rains. Sirius insists the smell has nothing to do with him
James and Sirius start a competition seeing who can confuse the most Muggles with a stag/dog in unexpected places
Somehow a stag is always more shocking than a dog
Remus credits this to the antlers. He’s probably right
Getting into little arguments about the dumbest things
Usually it’s because Sirius or James forgot to do something
Like Sirius forgetting to fill the gas tank at their last pit stop and their car slowly shutting down in the middle of the road
Peter making obnoxious puns that sends the whole car into a rage
James is the ‘mum friend’, making sure everyone’s eaten and gotten enough sleep and refusing to start the car until everyone is wearing their seat belts
Personal space ceases to exist as you all spread out all over each other to get comfortable
Sirius tends to rest his legs in the lap of the nearest person
Remus will fall asleep on you, and you will stay still because he needs all the sleep he can get
James flings his arm around the shoulders of whoever wanders too close
Peter leans his body into the person next to him during long stretches on the road
You spend a lot of time talking about the future. Not the war, but hypotheticals or possibilities, lots of what if scenarios
Talking about the past as well, reminiscing about your years at Hogwarts and trying to remember embarrassing stories about each other
