Legacy of the Marauders

Joanna

James and Sirius glanced at each other, nodded, and said, "Remus."

"Why me?" queried Remus in surprise.

"Probably 'cause you look the best as a girl," stated Peter. "James looks like a cross-dresser, Sirius looks like a chick on steroids, and I just look ugly."

No one mentioned that Peter was equally as ugly as a guy.

"I picked Remus since he's as poetic and sensitive as a girl already," James informed.

"Not all girls are poetic," remarked Sirius. "Jessie isn't."

"How will Jessie react when she finds out that you hit on me?" wondered Remus humourously.

"I wouldn't have if I had known that you were actually a bloke, but Jessie won't mind that I did; we both flirt with other people because it's fun. We just don't date other people," Sirius truthfully told Remus.

McGonagall did not approve of her nieces flirtatious ways and had to admit to herself that Jessie and Sirius most likely did more than flirt with one another and could have STD's, like popularity. Popularity is a Socially Transmitted Disease. However, she did approve of Remus as the one to remain a dame. "Whoever stays this way will have to sleep in the girls' dorm for the week, and I think Lupin is the only one that can be trusted not to peek at the young ladies while they're undressing."

Peter, Sirius, and James averted their eyes, not bothering to defend themselves...Well, what does that tell you?

"Very well," sighed Remus resignedly. "I guess I can cope with waiting a week before I change back."

While the Transfiguration professor distributed the bottles Dumbledore smiled at Remus. "I'm proud of you. You might even learn something from this."

"Such as?" Remus questioned, not impolitely, but skeptically.

"Wait and see, and be sure to share everything you learn with your friends."

Remus gazed over at his friends, who were men again. "Yes, sir."

"Since you are, indeed, such a pretty girl you're bound to learn a great deal." Dumbledore's eyes twinkled with amusement. "Now, we can't have the entire school knowing one of the Marauders literally got in touch with his feminine side. Instead of Remus John Lupin your name shall be...hmm, John Remus- Joanna Summers. Joanna is here for a week under circumstances she is forbidden to discuss." He instructed the boys, "If anyone asks where Remus is tell them he is sick in the hospital wing. Remus often misses class, so they shouldn't question that. Also, by the time Joanna reaches her new dorm her necessary belongings will be there. Off you go."

Upon their return to Gryffindor Tower James smiled. "Almost all of MWPP is back to normal."

"What's MWPP?" Peter inquired.

"Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs."

"Oh...I thought MWPP stood for Must Wash Pants Periodically."

The rest of the way back to the common room the only sound any of them heard was Sirius' song about the return of his cock, which is too inappropriate to repeat, whilst Remus glumly pondered what his next week would hold for him.
