Marna Riddle stretched on her seat on the Hogwarts Express, she had been on the train for the better part of an hour waiting for her friends, but as always they were late. She stood and stretched her arms when she heard something outside the compartment. It was Austin and Matthew Scotts, Hufflepuffs, looking at her. She waved and they blushed before making their way down the corridor.
Marna was a Griffindor, tall with long black hair, icy blue eyes, and pale skin, she wasn't fat or skinny, and the outfit she wore complimented her figure, a white long sleeved shirt with a black vest and gypsy skirt and black walked out into the corridor to strech her legs when someone bumped into her.
It was Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Black, Slytherins, Malfoy was wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans, and Black wore a green turtle neck with a black skirt.
" Move it Riddle." Malfoy sneered. Marna glared at him but moved out of their stared after them as they moved down the corridor.
Marna went to go back into the compartment when a sudden weight crashed onto her back, skinny arms locked around her neck and an ear splitting squeal runged in her ear.
" Marna! Oh My God!" There was a flash of tie-die and the person got off and moved in front of her.
It was Emma Stone, Marna's best friend and fellow Griffindor . She was skinnier then Marna with long blond hair, icy blue eyes, and tan skin. She was shorter then Marna and was in the most insane outfit, a tie-die half sleeved shirt with a black mini skirt and black flipflops. She had her hair pulled into a messy ponytail.
Marna hugged Emma. " How was Italy?"
" Oh Marna, it was great! The sun, the hot boys oh, next time your coming with, and you will get a tan your getting so pale!" Emma put her arm next to Marna's hand as evidence.
" I can't tan though, I end up looking like a cherry."Marna said.
" Oh, I'll get you to tan or my name isn't Emma Jean Stone." Suddenly Emma giggled. "Look who it is!"
Marna turned and saw her other best friend, Lily Evans, running toward them. Lily, a Griffindor, was a little shorter and thinner then Marna with fiery red hair and emerald green eyes and pale skin. She wore a dark purple shirt with tan pants and white sneakers.
" Lily!" Marna and Emma screamed as they raced toward her. They practically tackled Lily and they all started laughing when the people in the compartment they were in front of looked down at them from the window.
They linked arms as they went to the compartment. " So, how was your summer guys?" Lily asked.
" I went to see my cousin in Kent, it was pretty fun." Marna said plopping into her seat.
" Ah, and Emma how was Italy?" Lily asked.
" Oh, it was great, so many cute guys and the sun was fabulous, but it did rain a little." Emma finished lamely pulling a magazine from her bag.
" From your detailed letters I thought you and this Italian muggle got along great." Marna teased.
Emma's ears turned pink from behind her magazine and Lily started laughing. "Oh shut it Lily!" Emma smiled as Lily laughed. " Or do you want James to know you have a picture of him under your pillow?" That got Lily to shut her mouth.
Marna laughed at Lily's face when someone knocked on the door. Two boys stood there, Marna blinked a few times before she recognized Severus Snape and Ross Jones, Slytherins, Snape wore a black t-shirt and blue jeans and Jones wore a red shirt and black pants.
"Hey Riddle, did you see Malfoy around?" Snape asked.
Marna nodded and pointed a finger down the hall. " Yep, I saw him and Narcissa go down the hall to the last compartments."
" Thanks Riddle." Snape nodded his head coldly and left, Jones copied him. Marna watched them as they left, something seemed different about them, but she just couldn't put her finger on it
" When did you see Malfoy?" Lily asked.
" Just before you guys got here." Marna said.
"Boy, I'd give anything to blast him to the moon." Emma said. Marna and Lily couldn't help but nod, they all thought Malfoy should be castrated, beaten within an inch of his life and thrown to the giant squid in the lake.
More and More people started to arrive, and they started to wonder about the rest of their merry little group.
Emma checked her watch." It's almost time to go, where are those boys?"
Suddenly, as if on que, there was a great commotion coming from the hall.
" Padfoot pick up your side of the trunk!"
" Sorry Prongs, Moony put down the book and help!"
" I wonder which compartment the girls are in?"
" Dunno, Wormtail go down and find them."
"Ok."
The girls smiled at each other when a boy stopped at their door. His name was Peter Pettigrew, a small boy with mousy hair and watery blue eyes. He wore a white dress shirt with a green jumper and tan pants.
" I found them!" he called over his shoulder.
He stepped aside to let James Potter through, a Griffindor, James was tall and had short black hair and hazel eyes which were hidden behind glasses, he wore a red shirt and blue jeans.
Next came Sirius Black, also Griffindor, and one of the most coveted men in the school, he had black hair and icy blue eyes, he wore a burgundy shirt with black pants. The last to come was Remus Lupin, another Griffindor, he was the tallest of the boys and had light brown hair and gray eyes, he wore a light blue shirt with brown pants.
" How are our Griffindor Girls doing?" James grinned and straighted his glasses.
" Fine, how are the Marauders?" Marna asked.
" Starving!" Sirius announced pulling a bag of chips out of the trunk.
" Yum!" Padfoot give me some!" James said grabbing a great handful and shoving it into his mouth.
" Honestly, what are you two, bottemless pits? we just ate a little while ago." Remus said sitting next to Marna.
"How are you Moony?" Marna asked hugging Remus.
" Besides my ' furry little problem' I'm fine." he answered. Everyone in the compartment knew Remus' problem, he was a werewolf, and they all felt horrible because he had to go through awful transformations.
Emma wrapped her arms around Remus' neck. " Don't worry even with your problems we still love ya." Emma pointed out.
" What about me?" Sirius pouted. " I have problems too."
" Yeah, fleas," James said, " Hey, Evans will you go out with me?"
" No, I think I'll go find Ann." Lily waved as she left.
" Damn." James exclaimed.
" Whose Ann?" Sirius asked.
" That brunette in Ravenclaw that Lily hangs out with." Emma said.
As the train started pulling out of the station, James pulled out a deck of cards."Exploding Snap anyone?" he asked.
" Me!" Peter and Emma shouted.
" Now, what about my hug?" Sirius asked Marna.
" Oh, ok." Marna said hugging him, he squeezed her really tight and she laughed.
When she sat down Remus pulled something from the trunk, it was wrapped in plain brown parchment and tied with white string, he smiled at her.
" Here, I got this for you." He handed it to Marna.
She unwrapped it and smiled," Romeo and Juilet, I've been wanting to read this, Thank you Remus," she kissed his cheek and he blushed a light pink, Sirius was grinning at them.
" What?" Remus asked.
" You two look so cute together, I swear." Sirius had been trying to get them to go out with each other for two years. There was a loud bang and they looked over to she Emma and James laughing as Peter emerged from a cloud of smoke, his eyebrows slightly burned.
Someone knocked at the door, a boy from Ravenclaw stood there." Remus Prefects' meeting in five minutes, I've already told Lily." he waved and left.
" Well, I'd better go, see you in a bit." Remus waved as he left too.
A comfortable silence settled in the compartment, Sirius opened another bag of chips, Emma, James and Peter started another game pf Exploding Snap, and Marna started reading her new book, when she started thinking about her encounter with Snape.
Ross Jones she had recognized with his black hair and gray eyes, he looked the same as last year but Snape had changed, his hair looked less greasy, his skin was pale but healthy looking and it looked as if he had put on a little muscle over the summer.
"Anything off the trolley dear?" Marna looked up to see the trolley witch smiling at her.
"Yes, thank you." Marna took her money pouch out and got a little of everything off the trolley. James and Sirius had small mountains in their arms and Marna shared with Emma and Peter.
Two hours later Remus came back from the meeting and when he sat down Marna placed an arm full of cauldron cakes and chocolate frogs in his lap. He unwrapped several cakes and wulfed them down.
"Hungry? Emma asked watching him eat.
Remus ate some of the frogs. " They never have food at those things." He said, " But this years was interesting."
"What happened?" Marna asked. James and Sirius looked eagerly at Remus and Emma and Peter leaned in closer.
"Well this year Lucius and Bellatrix are the Slytherin Prefects-,"
" Just lovely." Sirius interrupted.
" And the Griffindor Prefects sit next to the Slytherin Prefects, so when Lily and I sat down Bellatrix turned to Lucius and said ' Oh Lucius you must feel so dirty sitting next to that filthy mudblood." James' face turned red at this point.
" Then Lucius said ' Oh, but I don't want to get any dirt on you Bellatrix, so I'll sit next to her.' I looked at Lily and she was smiling so I asked her why she was and she said, ' I'm just listening to the two pig nosed trolls over there.' and I saw Lily had her wand out and then Bellatrix screamed, our little live by the rules Lily transfigured Bellatrix and Lucius' noses into pig snouts." Remus finished with an approving smile.
" Wow, I didn't think Lily had it in her." Emma said nodding her head.
" Thats my Lily!" James said punching the air.
"But she isn't yours." Peter said.
"Thanks Wormtail, I didn't know." James rolled his eyes at Peter.
"No problem." Peter grinned.
" So, who are the other Prefects? Marna asked.
"Well, Hufflepuff has Ian and Jessica and Ravenclaw has Ann and Justin." Remus said.
" Now that would be Lily's friend right?" Sirius asked.
" Yep, and to answer your other questions, she has green eyes, no boyfriend and she likes roses." Marna said.
"Thanks for the information my dear, it shall be put to good use." Sirius said bowing in his seat.
" My pleasure, sweets, just don't let your first date end in the broom closet like so many have." Marna countered.
The rest of the time was spent with Sirius changing their hair color, Remus' orange, Marna's purple, Emma's pink, Peter's green, James' gold and himself blue. James doing an impression of Malfoy with a pig nose and Emma, Marna, and Remus fighting over a large chocolate bar, Emma won but shared.
An hour before they got to the castle Sirius changed their back to normal as they went to change into their uniforms. Marna and Emma were coming from the changing room when they saw Lily leaning against the wall.
" Hey, Lily, where have you been?" Marna asked. She put her hand on Lily's shoulder and they heard her sob.
"Lily, whats wrong?" Emma asked. Lily turned around, Marna gasped and Emma put her hand over her mouth. Lily's nose was bleeding, her lip was busted open and her left eye looked swollen and had a yellowish purple tinge to it. Marna noticed Lily was holding her right side.
"Oh, Lily what happened to you." Emma asked. Lily shrugged.
" Come on, lets get you back to the compartment before anyone sees you." Marna said. Emma pulled Lily's hood up and helped her back to the compartment, no one was in it.
" The boys must still be changing, here let me look at your ribs one of them may be broken." Marna sat Lily down and felt her side, Lily yelped. " One of them is broken, I feel the bone moving, I can heal your face but Madam Pomfrey will have to heal your rib." Marna pulled her wand out just as the boys walked in.
"Lily what happened to you?" James asked taking Lily's hand and sitting next to her.
" I don't know, I was coming from seeing Ann and someone jumped me and beat the crap out of me." she said fresh tears falling.
" I'll kill whoever did this to you Lily." James said.
"Thanks James." Lily smiled at him slowly.
" Here, Lily let me heal you now, Episky!" Marna said putting Lily's face back to normal.
" I hope Madam Pomfrey can heal your rib." Emma said sitting next to James.
" I wonder who did this to you." Remus wondered.
"Isn't it obvious Moony, It had to have been Malfoy." Sirius said.
" Malfoy wouldn't have done this, he'd get into too much trouble." Marna said.
"Bellatrix could have done it, She would get revenge for her pig nose, though it would have just made her look better." Emma said tartly.
" I don't think Bellatrix is that strong." Remus said.
"We're here guys!" Peter announced. James helped Lily up, and Marna stepped out into the corridor when someone bumped into her. It was Snape.
" Sorry." They both said when Malfoy pushed past them.
" Boy, what a bunch of trolls." Peter said when Snape had disappered behind the corner.
" Yeah, a bunch of trolls." Marna whispered staring after Snape.
