Ahh, Hogwarts. She thought it was amazing how the bright lights never ceased to amaze her every year. But there WAS a difference this year, it was her last. After this year she'd never again come back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry... she suddenly felt sad. 'No!' she thought, I'm not going to let this ruin my mood, and I'm not going to let anyone else ruin in either!
Lily loved watching the sorting of first years into the different houses, either Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin, Gryffindor was the clear winner! Everyone knew that, just didn't want to admit it.
As much as Lily hated James, she was close to his two best friends Sirius and Remus, they were two of the funniest people she had ever met. Actually, now that she thought about it, all of the 'marauders' were pretty hot, oh, wait a minute, minus wormtail. Sirius and James were the standouts, but wait? Of course she wasn't the one who thought he was hot. It was everyone else. Even if she did, she certainly wouldn't admit it, the amount of crap she'd get for that!
"Wow! I always love the beginning feast, so extravagant. But of course the best part is the treacle pudding for dessert" said Dawson enthusiastically, they were all in heaven when they ate Hogwart's food, god it was amazing!
"Lily, don't look now, but James is staring at you" Lucy giggled, grinning and giving her the 'oh my merlin!' look. Really Lucy? I gave her the 'I don't really give a crap' look back, and she sighed in return. "I could never understand why you don't kneel to his affection, Lily. He's absolutely gorgeous! And even though you wont admit it, you know I'm right!" she said in the matter of fact tone.
"I'm going to have to definitely agree with Lucy! God, he is like the definition of perfect, look it up"
"No, ewww. It's James guys! Oh, and we still haven't gotten them back for their last prank that they pulled on us, we were in the hospital for days!" Lily was hopping to put them off track with their current discussion by getting them to plan their next attack on the marauders. It worked!
"OH MY MERLIN we haven't! Shit, gotta get a plan happening here!" Dawson said enthusiastically, she absolutely loved pranking the marauders, did I happen to mention she was extremely good at it?
It was Saturday night, and the prank was going as planned, Lily and her friends could not wait to see their faces when they pulled this off. They followed Sirius, James, Remus, and Peter when they left the common room, sneakily. They took the moving staircase to the ground floor, and found a painting of a famous auror (dark wizard catcher), and tilted it to the right. Lily was confused, what could they possible be doin…"they're leaving the school!" she whispered fantically, "we couldn't possibly follow them, I'm head girl, this is unacceptable for me" she sounded desperate now. "Lils, don't chicken out on us! We need you to do this" Dawson sounded determined, Lucy had the same kind of look on her face. Guess it's decided then, she thought to herself, "better not get caught or I'm bringing you all down with me, including those 4... bloody rule breaker gits" we crawled in after them, into the tunnel filled with cobwebs and, evidently, spiders. Lily wasn't the biggest fan of spiders.
She followed them anyways, taking deep breaths in and out the whole way there, there being outside on school grounds, with the whomping willow in sight just beyond them, they could see the marauders climbing into the base of the tree. How peculiar! They all stared in astonishment, and gaped even more when the whomping willow started whooshing it's branches everywhere straight after the boys had gone it, as if to ward off any strangers who dare come near it. Well they certainly wouldn't! Or so Lily hoped, in vain.
"Quick, now's our chance to find out what they're up to!" cried Dawson over the swooshing sound of the trees which was extremely loud. "Are you crazy! Lily asked sardonically, "we could get killed by that narcissistic tree!"
"Don't be so melodramatic!" Lucy waved off what she said, and attempted to walk over to the whomping willow, Lily pulled her back. "Guys this has gone too far! We'll get them another ti..."
"NO!" Dawson interrupted her, "this is our only chance! Are you with us?" Lily had to consider the situation for a moment, wait, no she didn't! There was no question about what she should do! As head girl it was her responsibility to save them from danger, but they were her best friends after all, she knew that she wouldn't be able to stop them and she had to help them, *sigh*...
Across the grounds they marched, determined at any cost to figure out their undeniable big secret. Next thing they knew they were being smacked across the face, stomach, and feet, disabling them for a moment so they could finally see what they had walked into. The tree was ravenous, seeming like it was trying to beat them to a pulp!
"How the f**k did they get in here!" screamed Lucy, trying to dodge the swaying arms that threatened to knock her out, "I guess they have another secret, surprise surprise" Dawson called back sarcastically. It was true, they were notoriously known for keeping their little cult secrets, they were annoying like that.
Lily managed to make her way to the back of the tree, when suddenly a branch came from behind, knock her straight into the trunk of the tree, and, the tree stopped moving. The branches became as still as the night, everything was tranquil once again."Whatever you did Lily, you're a bloody genius ginger!" Lucy cried in delight, dawn was beaming at her. She had no idea what she did, but she was definitely glad, she was getting really sore.
The 3 of them climbed into yet another tunnel, with bigger spiders (much to Lily's dislike), and moved as quickly as they could, the sooner they find them and expose them, the sooner they were in their snug beds plotting how they would evilly use their information to get them back. "Ew, there's a spider on me! Gerrofffffffff!" Lily was screaming, "shh! We can't let them know we're here" whispered Dawson, who was behind Lily. "I can't wait to see their faces when they see what they've been up to!" crooned Lucy, in front of both of them, "They wont know what hit them".
After about 3 minutes they reached the end of the tunnel, and found themselves inside a…shack.
