Chapter 1- Confusion
"I beat you again, Moony! I think you're loosing your touch," said Evelyn, from where she was sitting on the floor.
"I am not loosing my touch, Silver! I am simply out of practice," replied Remus defensively. "When did you get so good at Exploding Snap anyway?
"I was the school champion when we were at Hogwarts, Moony. Have you forgotten already about the time I-," started Evelyn, but was cut off by Remus.
"Beat me in front of the school in the school tournament?" asked Remus.
"Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking," finished Evelyn with a playful smile on her face.
"In that case I haven't forgotten," answered Remus, attempting to glare at his fellow Marauder, but failing at it miserably.
Evelyn Variati is the fifth Marauder. She, Remus, the Weasley's, Harry, and Hermione were all sitting at the bench, in the basement-like kitchen of Number 12 Grimmauld Place.
Everyone had been listening to their conversation intently until someone quite unexpected walked into the kitchen and cleared his throat.
"Professor Dumbledore, sir, what are you doing here this late? It's nearly midnight," asked Remus looking a little worried.
"Is everything alright?" asked Evelyn, looking equally as worried.
"Fine, fine, everything is just fine. Nothing to worry about," replied Dumbledore, a slight twinkle in his eyes.
"If you don't mind me asking, Albus, why are you here? The next meeting isn't until tomorrow," asked Mrs.Weasley.
"I actually needed to have a word with Ms.Variati and Mr.Lupin in private," Dumbledore replied.
"If you two would floo over to my office please, I would be most grateful," he added looking at Remus and Evelyn.
"Okay," said Remus.
"Sure," said Evelyn.
With that they followed their old Headmaster to the fireplace in the living room, which was a few halls down.
When they were all seated around Dumbledore's desk, with Dumbledore in his chair behind the desk, and Evelyn and Remus seated in front of him in two comfortable looking armchairs, Dumbledore started his explanation.
"I have a proposition for the two of you," he said, eyes twinkling.
"A proposition?" asked Remus, his brow furrowed, thinking about what Professor Dumbledore could possibly want them to do.
"Yes, Mr.Lupin, a proposition," repeated Dumbledore looking quite smug about something.
"What kind of proposition?" asked Evelyn, looking at her old Headmaster suspiciously.
Rule #1 of The Marauder's Book of Marauding: With Dumbledore, you never know what to expect. So be ready to expect the worst.
"I'm glad you asked, Ms.Variati, you see, this is the proposition of a lifetime," answered Dumbledore knowingly.
Evelyn and Remus stared at Dumbledore for a moment, both now anxious to know this proposition, until Dumbledore spoke again.
"But first, there are other matters that we need to discuss," he said, " like the prophecy."
