The Marauders- At a muggle beach resort!
(A/N) Okay, so I had an idea of writing a story where the marauders (plus Lily and a friend or two) go to a muggle beach resort (thus, the title) but I've got two stories going on at the moment which are nowhere near finished. So, for now, I'm just going to put up one to two chapters of this story and if I get enough reviews, I'll write more! Read on!
"Hey Jamsie?"
"Yeah Padfoot?"
"Where are we going again?"
"I dunno, some muggle place."
Remus Lupin looked at the two wearily. "Don't tell me you've forgotten where we're going already, it's barely been five minutes!" He sighed in annoyance.
"Moooonnnyy!" Sirius whined, "Stop being meeeaaan!" James chuckled and looked at Remus.
"Where are we going again?" He asked sheepishly. Remus merely looked at Lily and said,
"You explain." Lily's eyes widened in alarm and she shook her head frantically.
"No way! I don't want those two plaguing me with questions the whole journey!" At this Sirius pouted and opened his mouth to say something but stopped when he saw the warning look on Remus' face. Lily looked at Peter. "I suppose you've forgotten too?" Peter let out a squeak and nodded quickly. "Sorry!" He mumbled. Lily groaned and looked over at her best friend, Danielle Rivers, who was also coming with them. "You explain Dani." She said.
Danielle was almost like the Marauders' fifth member, so Lily knew they would not give her grief… at least, not too much. Danielle looked like she was about to refuse so Sirius put on his best puppy dog face. She sighed. "Fine."
"YAY!" James cheered and Sirius clapped his hands, a huge grin on his face. Remus looked at Danielle as if to say, 'Do you know what you're getting yourself into?' Danielle grinned and shrugged back at him.
Danielle brushed a lock of her straight dark hair out of her face as she turned to explain where they were all going. "Right now, we are on a muggle vehicle called a coach. It's going to take us to a muggle beach resort. That's basically a place to stay with its own beach."
"Ohhhhh!" I get it now!" James exclaimed.
"Me too!" Peter piped up. Sirius, however, still looked a bit confused.
"I get all that," He began, "But what's SHE doing here?" He asked, looking over at a girl with icy-blue eyes and fair curls. Lily sighed. "My parents insisted that if we were all going to go to a beach resort alone, we needed someone old enough to 'look after us.'" She looked glumly at the girl, "Everyone, this is my sister, Petunia." James stared at Lily.
"THE Petunia!" He exclaimed incredulously. They had all heard of how Lily was desperate to remain friends with her sister, who simply would not allow it. Lily nodded glumly. "Petty?" She called out to her sister, "You haven't even been introduced to my friends yet." Petunia scowled darkly.
"Why would I want to know a bunch of filthy freaks? They're all good for nothing, just like you." She spat. James stood up angrily… then immediately fell back on to his seat again. He opened his mouth to tell her off but Sirius beat him to it. His eyes glittered menacingly and he drew himself up haughtily. He opened his mouth and began to speak, "I'll have you know that I am Sirius Orion Black. I will not stand for some low-down, good-for-nothing, selfish little muggle snob insulting me. I've heard enough tales from Lily to know that you are nothing more than a spiteful, jealous little muggle." Lily gaped in astonishment at Sirius' little rant. It was the first time she had ever heard him sound like such a… well, such a Black! Danielle looked at Sirius and cleared her throat loudly. "I think that's quite enough Sirius." Sirius immediately calmed down but a dark look was still etched out on his handsome features. Danielle looked over at Petunia, who was looking quite white and shaken.
"Let's start over again." She said, smiling. "My name is Danielle Rivers. I'm Lily's best friend from our school. These guys," At this, she waved her hand indicating the four boys, "are the Marauders."
"You're one of us too Dani, admit it!" James grinned. Danielle rolled her eyes but smiled.
"Anyway, that's James Potter." She said, pointing to the inky-haired bespectacled boy. She added, in a whisper, "He's been obsessed with Lily ever since he laid eyes on her." Lily went slightly red and looked away from Petunia's questioning glare whilst James shook his head weakly. Danielle smiled widely, rather enjoying her friend's embarrassment. "Just so you know, we all think you two should be together by now!" James immediately perked up and grinned happily at Lily, who was now as red as her hair.
"Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah. That's Remus Lupin, the only sane boy here, Peter Pettigrew and pretty boy over here is…"
"HEY!" Cut in Sirius. "I am NOT a pretty boy! I am a very handsome young man!" He exclaimed childishly. Danielle rolled her eyes. "This 'very handsome young man' is Sirius Black, as you may have realised." She added drily.
"I'm her boyfriend." Sirius interrupted cheekily. James and Peter chuckled and Remus let out a grin. Even Lily let out a small smile at her friend's shocked expression.
"What did you just say?!" She asked aghast.
"You know what I said." He winked, "Don't worry babe, I'll see you in the first broom cupboard we can find!"
"WHAT!"
This time, James and Peter were having difficulty staying in their seats and Remus and Lily were laughing hard. Petunia spoke up,
"So I take it you're single then Sirius?" She asked, smiling what she obviously thought was a seductive smile. Sirius looked horrified, but, on seeing the pleading look on Lily's face, nodded stiffly. Remus sighed to himself. This was going to be a long trip.
