The Confederates & Marauders

Chapter1: Meet the Confederates & Marauders

Above are the houses of Godric's Hollow, a very wealthy neighborhood about a mile away from London. Six families built the neighborhood and are still the only ones that live there. The Potter, Lupin, Black, Evans, Bradshaw, and Figg families were the only ones. The Potters consisted of 10 year old James Potter, his father Harry, his mother Meredith, and his two 5-year-old twin sisters Jadelyn and Madelyn. The Lupins consisted of 10-year-old Remus, his father Jacob, his mother Rebecca and his 5-year-old brother Gabrielle (Gabe for short). The Blacks consisted of 10-year-old Sirius, his father Orion, his mother Carina, and his 5-year-old sister Gemini. Of the Evans there is 10-year-old Lily, her father Mitchell, her mother Violet, her 13-year-old sister Petunia, and her 5-year-old twin sister and brother, Jasmine and Jack. The Bradshaws consisted of 10(soon to be 11)-year-old twin sisters Hayley and Carly, their father Terry, their mother Peggy, Grandma Rosemary (who is also Mrs. Violet Evans' mom and well as Mrs. Peggy Bradshaws') and their 3-year-old brother Jace.

Lillian Marie Evans, 10 years old, fiery red hair, sparkling emerald green eyes. She is cousins with Hayley and Carly Bradshaw by her mother's mother (Rosemary) who is Hayley and Carly's grandmother too. Hayley Candice Bradshaw has beautiful blonde hair with eyes the color of the ocean. Carly Alexandria Bradshaw also has beautiful blonde hair but mysterious dark chocolate brown eyes. They both are from Beverly Hills, California, and didn't move to Godric's Hollow until they were six when it was finished being built. Arabella Evette Figg has raven black hair and amethyst purple eyes. Yes, amethyst purple eyes. The four girls liked to call themselves the "confederates", one who assists in a plot. They were always getting in to mischief and pulling pranks. All of them participate in basketball, soccer, softball, hockey, football, tennis, and just about any other sport you can think of. They have waist length hair, which they don't plan on getting cut anytime soon. Their all time favorite sport is Quidditch. Lily, having not come from a magical family, was introduced to the magical when she was very young. Her entire family was well adapted to a magical society since the six families were such close friends and the Evans were the only muggles. Everyone was positive Lily was a witch though since she kept making strange things happen. Hayley and Carly's father was the Minister of Magic, so they were forever attending banquets, which they often dragged Arabella and Lily to.

James Harold Potter has messy black hair that would never stay tame. Round black glasses that actually looked quite charming on him framed his startling blue eyes. Sirius Orion Black also had raven black hair but unlike James he was able to style it without it sticking up everywhere; he also had such dark brown eyes, that is you looked close enough you would swear they were black. Remus Jacob Lupin looked the exact opposite of James and Sirius. His sandy brown hair and chocolate brown eyes like Carly's set him apart. All three boys come from magical families and called themselves the "marauders". The only sport they thought that was worthy enough for them to play was Quidditch. All of their father's worked at the Ministry of Magic.

You would think since the seven kids have parents that get along well with each other (and their other siblings too!) would be best friends. Well.think again. The girls and boys shared a mutual feeling of hating each other with a passion. The girls were furious with the boys for pestering them about the sports they played and playing pranks on them. The boys got furious with the girls for teasing them and pulling pranks on them. Once, to get even with the boys for dying their hair to match their eyes, the girls put dark purple dye (that wouldn't come off for 72 hours) in the swimming pool before the boys got in. The boys were still fuming over that one and trying to figure out how to get even. They wouldn't be able to pull it off this week though because they had to go to Carly and Hayley's eleventh birthday party, and their parents put an anti-prank spell on them just so they could do no damage.
