The Maraudettes and the Plan!
Start of 6th year
King's Cross Surprise
The red bricked wall seemed normal to any muggle. But, Lily Evans was no Muggle. Her scarlet hair stood out in the crowds. A simple pair of jeans and a t-shirt blended among the muggles crossing the station.
The feeling that somebody was following her dawned apon her and as she turned her body, a figure rushed away behind the pillars of the station. Her speed began to grow as she ran towards her door of freedom. As she vanished into the wall she collided with another body, she looked up into his dazzling blue eyes, and blushed. His messy jet black hair made him stand out amongst the students of Hogwarts.
"Hi Evans." He spoke.
She felt the blood rush to her cheeks. She brushed the hair off her face, nervously.
"Oh, urmm, hey Potter!"
He let go of fragile arms and walked away. She looked at him as he went. He then turned, slowly, and winked. She smiled. She dashed trying to catch him but then her best friends, Dylan, Tammie, Regan and Eliza, popped up in front of her and pulled her into a large hug. Talking about their Summer they walked towards the ruby train. They found an empty conpartment and settled down in the cosy seats.
"So, how was your Summer, Lil's?" asked Eliza, a tall girl with brown hair which curled into swaying ringlets.
"Alright!" replied Lily, hesitintly.
"Truthfully?" said the girls in unison.
"Nope, it was bullshit!" giggled Lily. "My sister was being a cow, Sev followed me everywhere! Plus I didn't she you lot all Summer. So you get the idea, what about you – Regan?"
The girl with coloured skin, sat in the corner, she had long black curly hair which fell to her waist. "It was amazing, I went to Morocco; we watched the sunset every night!" She said dreamily.
"We?" the girls said simultaneously.
"Urmm, me and my family..."
"Oooh, I get it now!" Eliza said.
"How was your Summer Tammie?"
A girl in the middle sat up, thinking about her summer, she had short, straight hair cut into a bob, with brown hazelnut eyes.
"Well, my summer was cool; I spent all of it at home. Sometimes Remus came to visit," the girls wooed in concession.
"Oh, shut up! So, how was your summer Dylan?"
A girl on the edge next to the window, sat up, her curly, wavy red hair lay on her shoulders. Her blue eyes glimmered in the steamy train windows.
"I went on holiday for a week, to Paris. It was beautiful; i drew so many pictures." Dylan said.
Lilly leaned in closer to her friends, "Guys, I need to tell you something, it really impor..."
Suddenly the door flung open and two people stood there, arms around each other. The girl had green eyes and murky blonde hair. It was Riya, Lily's other best friend! Riya, unfortunately got put in Ravenclaw instead of Gryffindor, like the others. But they were still really good friends. Also accompanied with her was the boy that had helped Lily up. James Potter. Lily gasped; she was horrified at the sight of one of her best friends and her new found crush, together. They both sat down into the seats, Riya was sitting on James' lap.
"Hi guys! Guess what happened over summer?" Riya said.
"Urmm, you found a boyfriend?" Tammie said, sarcastically.
"Yeah, how great!" Riya spoke.
Slowly, their lips pressed together not a care of the world around them. They were lost in a passionate kiss. A tear rolled down Lily's rosy cheeks as she stared in desperation. She stood and slipped her way through and out of the conpartment door. Her breath was stolen.
She walked down the bustling corridor and found herself face to face with Sirius Black. He was carrying two pumpkin pasties.
"Hey Sirius, how come you have two pumpkin pasties?" she mumbled trying to seem happy.
"Oh, for Prongs." He spoke, nervously.
"So how were your summer holidays?" Lily asked.
"It was ok, I stayed in Moracco." Sirius said, casually.
"Oh that's nice! You know Regan stayed there." Lily explained.
"Oh, interesting, so, do you know where James is?" Sirius asked.
"Ooh, he is in the compartment, with Riya." Lily said, awkwardly.
She then burst into tears. Sirius leaned in and gave her a friendly hug to comfort her.
"What's wrong Lily?" Sirius asked solemnly.
"It... It's just, well," Lily stumbled. "James. I thought... well, I thought, he liked me. But, but then i saw him with, with," she started to cry again. "With, Riya and she is one of my best friends. But I don't think she knew, but..." she clamped her hands to her face and sobbed.
"Hey, have I interrupted anything here?" Regan teased. A smile expanded across her face.
"No, urmm, Lily was just a bit upset and i was comforting her, why jealous Jakes." Sirius replied playfully.
"Oh, Lil's why are you upset?" Regan asked, sounding concerned.
Lily explained the whole problem.
"Oh Lily! I suppose she didn't know but still!" Regan said, shaking her head.
"But, I guess I'll deal with it!" Lily said, sighing.
"Deal with what? What's up Lil's?" Dylan asked, she seemed concerned.
Regan and Sirius sighed heavily.
"Not again!" Sirius implied.
Regan slapped him on the arm. But Lily explained the story.
"Oh Lily, are you ok?" Dylan asked.
"Yeah, I guess, well, no." Lily admitted.
Dylan gave Lily a hug but then she realised that Regan and Sirius were walking away from them. Then Regan flicked her hair and smiled lovingly. Dylan's eyebrows furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.
"Hey, urmm, Lil's," Dylan broke away from the hug, "You don't suppose that there is something going on with Regan and Sirius do you?"
"Regan... Sirius... now that has cheered me up!" Lily started to laugh. The two girls made their way back to the compartment to get dressed into their school robes.
The common room
The candles that surrounded the ceiling of the Great Hall warmed up the students and staff. Banners were hung. Food was made. Drinks were poured. Laughter was heard all around. Lily and her friends were sitting at the benches, food covered the table. Bangers and Mash, Toad in the Hole, Beef Stroganoff, Steak and Roast Dinners!
Lily, Regan, Dylan, Eliza and Tammie were sitting enjoying the feast when none other than the Marauders came to sit with them. To Lily's surprise Sirius went to sit next to Regan 'maybe Dylan had a point... No it can't be... Oh well maybe it's just coincidence.' Lily thought. Lily turned to her right to see Remus and Tammie cuddling. She turned to her left and saw Re and Sirius arguing (as usual) 'Maybe Dyl was wrong about them hmmmmm ...' Lily looked straight on and saw James ignoring Peter Pettigrew as he was trying to tell him about his summer holidays. She gazed at him looking at how much he had changed over the summer , as she looked up at his face he looked up at her and pulled a half-smile but she glanced away nervously and blushed.
"Hey lils, what's up" Eliza asked lily looking worried
"Oh Nothing Liza, I was just Day dreaming you no ..." Lily replied half heartedly
"OK, Re told me about James and well I have a plan!" Liza said.
"Ooh, that sounds good, what is this plan?" Lily asked, she seemed very interested.
"I will tell you when all of us get in the dorm!" Eliza said, then she winked at Lily and turned to Remus and Tammie and started to join into the convocation. Dumbledore then stood up and walked over to the podium. The podium was made of gold and shaped into an owl He gave his speech that consisted of the warnings, welcoming and lists of banned items that filch bans every year, but no one listens to him.
At the end of the speech everyone filed out of the hall, being a prefect she helped lead the 1st years to the common room and make sure they understood the rules of Hogwarts and all the time she had a smile on her face and wondering what the plan was.
When she got back to the common room, after showing the 1st years to their dorms, She saw her friends sitting by the fire and decided to join them, as she got closer she realised that 3 of the four marauders' were there as well. James, Remus and Sirius but not peter, she decided to ignore this and sat in between Dyl and Liza who looked up to greet her.
"Hey Miss Prefect your mood looks like it's changed considerably since dinner." Said Dyl Grinning at her
"Well it has and I will tell you why later, so what's happening here." Lily asked Still grinning
"Nothing really just catching up from summer, We found out that Sirius also went to morocco over the summer too, funny isn't it." Liza replied bubbly
"Isn't it just." Lily replied suspiciously
She glanced in Sirius's direction and noticed that he was talking to Regan again 'what is with them this year, last term they were ripping each other's heads of whenever they spoke!' she thought carefully this subject wasn't going to be left alone any time soon.
"So Re what else did you get up to in morocco?" Lily asked smiling
"Great it was really fun, we stayed in a villa with some errm ... Family friends" Regan Replied sheepishly
"And what about you Sirius you went to morocco too Right?" Lily Said
"Err Yeah it was good, amazing weather." He replied looking nervous
Lily nodded and turned to Dylan
"Well That was interesting wasn't it Dyl." Lily said smirking
"Very!" she answered
They burst into giggles. Lily, Eliza and Dylan were just discussing the latest witch weekly when the Dreaded topic emerged.
"So Prongsie how are you and Riya going" Sirius asked cheekily
Lily's face Dropped
"Great actually, we saw a lot of each other in the summer" James replied joyfully
"Soooo When did this happen" Regan asked being Regan she had to ask
"Err it happened at the start of the holidays actually we went to a wedding and we started talking and it just happened really" James answered
Lily's Heart Sunk the fact that her friends had more or less been with the marauders' all summer, Having fun abroad and at home (even if its denied) and she was in hell at home alone for 6 weeks, gosh she wished she had more magic in her life.
"OK ..., Lilsy How was your summer?" asked Sirius asked Smirking
She Scowled
"Crap to be honest, with my sister calling me a freak and Severus stalking me , it can't be very good really." Lily Replied confidently
"Hard Luck Evans." James replied apologetically
"Err thanks Potter ... so Remus how was your summer?" Lily asked Looking Confused
"Great, Spent a lot of time with Tammie," He replied smiling at her " but was also ill a lot soo ..."
Suddenly Dylan let out a loud and humongous yawn. Feeling tired she clambered out of her armchair and up to her dorm. The rest of the girls slowly followed, Regan being the last, still giggling and talking to Sirius.
Nightfall
In the dormitory it was dark with only a few lit candles lighting the faces of the girls. All the girls sitting on Eliza's bed ready to hear the plan.
"Ok, everyone ready? So the first part of the plan, tell Riya the truth , maybe , just maybe, she will just give up James" started Eliza
"I wish it would be that easy." Lily sighed
"Hey lil's don't give up faith. but if this doesn't work we have to go for part B. Seduce James potter." All instantly giggling, apart from lily who was dreading the prospect of having to seduce James ... ' I hope this works'.
"Part C ...well we will think of that at the time, Part A will start tomorrow morning after breakfast, Sync our watches at 2100 hours." Eliza said
Lily laughed and got into bed, she liked how all her friends were so supportive of her and were willing to help...but she prayed it would work.
Cat fight
The sun rose at four 'o'clock the next morning on a beautiful day. All the girls woke by five driven downstairs to the great hall by the prospect of the day ahead.
When in the hall the girls sat on the table, the closest to the exit and quickly went over the plan so no one else could hear. Everything was ready. Synchronised watches, Back-up plan and of course the target in sight. At 8'o'clock all the girls headed to Potions with the Ravenclaws in the dungeons.
The Girls sat at the back of the Dungeons; all hustled together. The lesson went slow, slug horn talking about something like vertaserium.
Homework note: revise the ingredients for vertaserium.
At the end of the lesson everyone bustled out ready for next class. Lily left the group of girls and slowly followed a group of Ravenclaws, including Riya- Tamara Wright. Quickly, swaying her murky blonde hair, she turned around and glared at lily. Turning back round she left her friends and entered into an empty classroom. Lily, still making sure the others didn't see her, slipped into the classroom behind Riya.
The classroom was dark and dingy with a rotting smell filling the room. The blinds were shut but light still crept through. Suddenly the lights were on, lily squinting her eyes and Riya next to the light switch.
"Hello Riya." Announced lily
"I'm sorry but I wish I was as happy to see you as you are to Me." said Riya, still glaring like that could kill Lily and make her vanish.
"Actually I'm not that Happy myself" Lily Retorted smirking slightly
"Well what do you want Evans "she replied "you're wasting my time."
"Don't," lily now pointing her finger"call me EVANS "she shouted
"Why , is that what MY Jamesy calls you" Riya said in a sweet childish voice
"Yes, by the way what's your pet name, ugly cow!" said lily calmly, knowing she had hit a nerve.
Then Riya had had enough; she launched herself at lily and knocked her into the wall, lily got up and slapped her around the Face as hard as she could, knocking her to the ground. Riya pulled lily by the hair and dug her nails into her shoulders , lifting her off the floor she slammed her into the blackboard!
Meanwhile ...
Down the corridor Sirius and James were talking and walking about the last lesson, which had been a total disaster and had forced them to stay behind. walking past tens of empty classrooms they saw one with lights on and heard two high pitched screams of girls fighting. Hurrying up to see what was going on they both sprinted to the classroom and burst in.
"Riya..."said James with slight panic in his voice
Riya was just getting up from the floor, and dived for Lily grabbed her by the hair and dragged her across the floor as lily struggled and grabbed Riya's leg and pulled her to the ground.
Riya and Lily were rolling around on the floor when James and Sirius decided to split them up. Sirius Grabbed Lily by the Waist and pulled her back, While James grabbed Riya by the arms and brought her away from Lily.
"WHAT is going on" James Exclaimed
"That Bitch called me an ugly cow; She's just Jealous of us Jamesy." She said looking up at James innocently.
Sirius let out a snort at this and James shot him a glare
"What's so funny Sirius?" James asked sternly
"Well Jamesy." Sirius sniggered "I don't believe Lilsy here would call anyone an 'an ugly cow ' if she wanted too and maybe she's right ..." Sirius trailed
"WHAT! YOU DID NOT JUST CALL MY GIRLFRIEND A UGLY COW" James shouted
"MAYBE I DID, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT" Sirius Retorted
But before they had time to start anything lily threw herself in between the fighting friends.
"STOP!" Lily shouted
"Shut it Evans." Riya said stepping in front of James
"I told you not to call me EVANS you STUPID BITCH" Lily Exclaimed
"I'LL CALL YOU WHATEVER I WANT TO!" Riya yelled
Sirius grabbed lily's arm and pulled her from Riya's reach
"Come on lily calm down." Sirius said reassuringly
"JUST GET ME AWAY FROM HER! " Lily screamed
"OK! Let's go." Sirius said pushing Lily towards the door
Sirius led a fuming lily into the corridor and into another empty classroom.
"Lils what happened in there?" Sirius asked concerned
Lily explained what happened and Sirius smirked a little
"What's so funny Sirius, Agree with me?" Lily said smiling
" I think I might Lily " Sirius said still smirking " Prongsie Doesn't know what he's doing, All he does is go on about Riya, Defend Riya, snog Riya and forget me and the other marauders. At least when he obsessed over you he spoke to us about it." Sirius sighed
Lily could tell that Sirius missed his friend and that Bitch Riya was ruining their friendship, she had to go.
"Don't worry Sirius." Lily said reassuringly "There won't be much left of her when I'm threw with her." Lily laughed
Lily and Sirius laughed in unison
Meanwhile
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ABOUT" James shouted at Riya
"Well, I was walking the corridors minding my own business when Lily came behind me and dragged me into this classroom, Then she pinned me up against the wall and threatened me so I pushed her away and she tackled me. I was only defending myself Jamesy." Riya said pouting
"Really Lily did that to you" James said sounding shocked
"Really!" Riya nodded
"C'mere gorgeous" James said pulling her into a hug which ended up turning into a passionate snogging session.
Explanations
Lily hurried to the great hall to meet Regan, Eliza, Dylan and Tammie and tell them everything that happened when she was stopped by none other than James potter glaring down at her.
"Leave me alone Potter." Lily spat
"We need to talk."James said sternly
"What did I make a mark on your pretty little girlfriends face?" Lily scoffed
And with that she turned around and stalked off into the great hall to find her friends.
Lily walked up the isle looked up and down the table, then she saw her four friends and made her way over
"Hey Lils, How did it go and ware where you last lesson?" Tammie asked grinning
"Terrible, Look at my hair and robes, that girl is crazy." Lily said and explained the story
"That Bitch, she can't do that to you, she will have more than a mark on her face whe-." Regan was cut off by two of the marauders Sirius and Remus came to sit with them.
"Who's gonna have more than a mark on her face." Sirius asked smiling
"That Cow James is snogging, where is he by the way." Regan asked
"Probably doing just that, I don't care where he is anyway" Sirius said sounding annoyed
"What's up siri." Regan said comfortingly indicating him to sit with her
Everyone looked confused 'since when did re call Sirius "Siri" and comfort him, she would normally tease him about it, something isn't right' Lily thought she looked at Dylan and could tell that she was thinking the same thing by looks of it everyone thought something was strange.
"Siri? "Asked a confused Remus
Lily, Tammie and Eliza giggled and Sirius and Regan blushed
"I'm errm ... going to get ready for class, come on Moony lets go." Sirius said
"I'm not done and I want to stay with Tammie and the girls" Remus moaned
"COME on Moooooooonyyy pleeeeeeeeaaaaaassssseee lets gooooooooo." Sirius Whined
"Fine." Sighed Remus sighed; he kissed Tammie on the cheek and got up "Bye Everyone"
"Bye!" They said in unison and all turned to Regan and Lily lifted an eyebrow
"WHAT?" Regan said
"Oh I don't know maybe the fact that YOU CALLED SIRIUS BLACK SIRI" Dylan shouted
"OK OK I get it you think something is going on ... well there not okay so drop it guys" Regan said sounding stressed
"Ok Stroppy."Tammie said throwing her hands up apologetically
"Shut up tam." Re said smirking
"Calm down you too, put your claws away." Eliza joked
Everyone giggled and went back to eating their lunch.
" Soo." Regan said looking up from her lunch "Better get started on part B of the plan my fellow Maraudettes!" she said grinning
"Maraudettes?" asked Tammie looking confused
" Yeah it's our name, there the marauders and were the Maraudettes" She said still grinning like a Cheshire cat
"OOOOOOh I get it!" said Eliza nodding
"On with plan B!" Re said punching the air
How could she forget plan B, SEDUCE James Potter ... This better work!
