Six Characters in Search of a Story"Hello. My name is Albus Dumbledore. It is my duty to inform you that a group of seventh year students have been found out of bed. What follows is their account of the evening. I present, Six Characters in Search of a Story. Each chapter is split into 6 sections, read the first section for James's story, the second for Sirius's, the third for Lupin's, the fourth for Pettigrew's, the fifth for Lily's and the sixth for Snape's. You can also read it as one long story. Enjoy!"
Part One
The four marauders were huddled under James's invisibility cloak. Sirius was clutching the marauders map and all four of their wands were lit up.
"This way," muttered James, "not far now."
"You never told me where we were going," squeaked Peter, "we usually only sneak out at full moon."
"I had to show you," replied James, "Me and Padfoot found it earlier by accident."
"But where exactly are we going Prongs?" persisted Peter.
"See for yourself, we're here now!" replied James.
Part Two
"Here we are, the Room of requirement," stated Sirius proudly. The four marauders emerged from under the invisibility cloak.
"I don't see anything," interjected Remus.
"That's because you have to walk past it three times concentrating on what you need. Lets go." Replied Sirius. Three walks past later a set of doors appeared in the wall.
"Wait," squeaked Peter, "what's in there, surely we all asked for different things."
"Good point Wormtail," replied Remus.
"Only one way to find out," stated Sirius confidently, throwing the doors open.
Part Three
The four marauders entered the Room of requirement. Lining one wall of the room was a large oak bookcase that Remus hurried over too.
"Look at these books," he commented then read off a few titles, "Coping with Lycanthropy, Dealing with bite, a guide to life as a werewolf..."
"Is that what you asked for?" interrupted James, "Moony you cope fine with being a werewolf."
"I just asked for some helpful reading," replied Remus, "this is what the room thought I needed. They may be useful…" He pulled several books off the shelf, shrunk them and placed them in his pocket.
Part Four
Wormtail was nervous. The four marauders were inside the room of requirement and in his opinion they weren't safe. If the door was indeed not usually there, then any passing teacher would notice that it had appeared and want to investigate. He walked up to James.
"Prongs, I think we should go," he muttered.
"Why's that Wormtail?" asked James.
"Anyone could walk in on us," commented Peter, "I really think we should go."
"All you care about is not being punished," replied James, "no-one will walk in. Anyone walking down this corridor at this time of night would be to tired to notice an extra door."
"I hope you're right Prongs," murmured Peter. At that moment the doors opened again.
Part Five
Lily Evans had been talking to Professor Mcgonagal about their last transfiguration Lesson and they had both lost track of the time. Now she was hurrying back to the Heads common room when she saw fours boys appear out of thin air. She hid behind a statue as they paced in front of a blank stretch of wall three times. As a set of double doors appeared on the blank wall she recognised the students as James Potter and his gang. But what were they up to? James was Head boy but here he was sneaking around in the middle of the night. She was about to open the door when she heard a snide voice.
"What's this? The head girl sneaking around in the night?" It was Lily's least favourite person, Severous Snape. Without thinking she sent a stunning spell at him. "Now, now," he chuckled, "we wouldn't want anyone to get hurt, except you. Petrificus Totalus!" She went rigid and knocked the door open as she fell.
Part Six
Snape couldn't believe his luck. He had been prowling the corridors when he spotted Lily Evans on the third floor. He had crept up behind her and attacked. She was now in a full body bind and had fallen through a door in front of him. Suddenly someone shouted.
"What on earth are you doing Snivelus!" It was James Potter and his friends, the four people that Snape didn't want to meet. He turned on the spot and left the room saying,
"I think I'll report you to Filch, enjoy detention!" He sped off.
"We need to get out of here!" yelled James. He released Lily, then grabbed her hand and sped off, the rest of the marauders following. Eventually they stopped running.
Part Seven?
"Alright you horrible kids, watch this space for my story!" stated Argus filch, patting Mrs Norris.
