A/N:I've been thinking about just changing the view points around a bit, I originally did just want to do it in James's view but that can be tricky sometimes as you don't get others feelings and all that, and also 3rd person is a lot easier to write in and it covers a lot more details and stuff. So just tell me what you think!
3rd person
James sat at the Gryffindor table staring down at his food in front of him with no particular interest and a glum look on his face that explained everything. He started to prod at his meal with his fork but had no desire to eat it.
"Prongs what's wrong" Sirius asked with a mock of concern "did puddlemere lose again?" Sirius had a slight smirk on his face, knowing that the team he supported the chudley cannons had beaten them last month to put them further down the league ladder.
James sighed shook his head. "Well I guess it's time?"
"You guessed right Prongsie boy" Sirius said with a broad covering his face
Underneath the tables the 4 Marauders took out their wands and began to wave them about and mutter charms under their breath, and all of a sudden the great hall went into to total darkness. There was screams and shouting and as soon as it came about, the great hall went back to normal, or in some sorts.
Startled and bewildered the pupils looked around and found something amazing, every last Slytherin had disappeared...
"Don't worry everyone they have just been temporarily removed" Sirius shouted from on top of the Gryffindor table.
Just as he said this a sound came from the Slytherin table, multiple pops filled the air and the Slytherins returned with murderous glares. Then they noticed what they were wearing, bright pink robes.
The great hall erupted with laughter; James looked to the Professors table worryingly, but was surprised when he saw Dumbledore wiping a tear from his cheek.
James sighed with relief "Part two?"
Remus nodded and lifted his wand to the ceiling with the rest of the Marauders.
The charmed ceiling exploded with fireworks and a message was written in the air
"Marauders final year, Graduation bitchs.
From Moony Wormtail Padfoot and Prongs
Luv ya Minnie"
Some of the students gasped while some just laughed even harder, the Marauders were known for this stuff
Professor McGonagall turned slightly pink, knowing full well that it was only Sirius Black who would have put that ending, she regained her composure and usual stern look "Black detention, Saturday night".
Sirius got up and bowed "As long as it is with you my sweetie"
The student body again chorused chuckles before Dumbledore stood indicating a forthcoming speech.
"Students of Hogwarts, after many years of thought and consideration, we the staff have decided that one class subject from every students timetable will be taught to individual sexes. So this shall mean boys taught alone for a period and same goes for girls. This experiment of sorts will be a trial and will be finalised which subjects for each student by the start of lessons next week, thank you, dessert will now be served".
There was a mix of emotions that spread throughout the great hall, a majority of confusion, sadness from some such as the boys and some pleased looks from other students.
"It better not be Transfiguration" Sirius said to the rest of the Marauders looking worried " That's the subject that I stare at Hestia from across the-" He suddenly turned pink and his he turned anxious "Oh shit I didn't just say that out loud did I?"
James smirked "'fraid you did pads, Hest eh? Who would have thought, you're always fighting with her?"
"Yeah well, you better not say anything to her or anyone in fact or I'll hex you into next week"
"Your secret is safe with me" Peter said "Everyone's secrets are always safe with me, I'm trustworthy"
"Yeah alright Pete we get it" Sirius said with a shake of his head. "Anyway I better head off, meeting with Rachael and by meeting I mean-"
"Having wild sex in the astronomy tower? Suggested James as he took a entire treacle tart from the table in front of him
"No I think we might be finding a broom closet tonight" Sirius said with a suggestive wink
At the same time Remus looked at James in horror "An entire tart! Are you mad?"
"You know I like them Moony and I'm not eating it all now, I'll save some for later, ok?" "And how are you one to talk with a cupboard full to the brim with chocolate?"
Remus just looked down and shrugged with an almost inaudible "I like chocolate".
"Yeah well bye guys I'll catch you later, Are we still on for Hogsmeade at 11:00?"
"Well I do need to replenish my supplies" Peter said with a guilty smile
"We just got here Wormtail!" Remus exclaimed
"What do you think I did on the train?" Peter said
"Well I can tell you what I did" Sirius said with yet another suggestive wink.
"Yeah we know what you did Padfoot, and yes we are still going, have fun" James said
"Oh you know I will Prongsie" and with another wink Sirius was off and out of the hall.
As Sirius left, James went back to staring and prodding at his food with the treacle tart next to him.
"Seriously James what's wrong?" Remus asked James
"Oh It's nothing Moony don't worry about it, when is the next full moon anyway?" James asked sneakily trying to change the subject.
"I realise what you're trying to do James and I will question you later about it" Remus said looking serious "It's in two weeks, so right now I'm in my best condition"
"Oh right okay well that's good, that you're feeling okay at the moment I mean" James said awkwardly. Well I better go, er head stuff to do."
"Okay see you later, remember Hogsmeade or Sirius won't be happy" Remus called out to the leaving back of James
Lily watching from the other side of the Gryffindor table noticed his departure from the great hall. "Lily? Earth to Lily?" Lily looked away from the doors to Hestia trying to snap her out of her little trance. "Oh er what?" Lily asked with a weak smile. "We were talking and you trailed off mid sentence?"
"Oh I'm sorry Hestia" Lily mumbled but her mind was elsewhere, why had she cared that Potter was upset, he deserved hadn't he?
"Hey Claire wait up!" Lily said as she ran down the 3rd floor corridor after leaving the great hall, she was chasing to catch up with her roommate from when she still lived in the Gryffindor dorms.
Claire Parker had been in the same dorm as Lily and her friends but had not exactly hung out with them over the years at Hogwarts, instead she had chosen to be in the Ravenclaw group and had hardly interacted with the other Gryffindors, but was still on good terms with them.
"Oh Lily, hey what's up? Claire asked
"Well I was just thinking, because it's our last year at Hogwarts and all I was just thinking you should hang out with us a bit this year, if you wanted to that is"
"Oh really?" Claire asked smiling brightly, her blue eyes glowing. At Hogwarts the seventh year Gryffindors were one of the most popular groups throughout the castle. Hestia was the extremely beautiful and glamorous one, while Marlene and Alice were smart, friendly and funny. Then of course there was Lily herself, Head girl, top of the year and beautiful in her own special way according those such as James, not that she knew that of course.
"yeah I thought it would be fun to get to you know you better, after all it is our last year and we can't live in the same dorm as you and not even know your favourite colour or something like that." Lily grinned
"Sounds great! I'd like that Lily thanks" Lily looked happy and began to turn away
"I better go Claire, come to the quidditch trials with is tomorrow, it'll be fun and we can spy on all the boys.
Claire giggled "haha okay I'll be there"
"Great!"
"Oh and it's blue by the way, dark blue" Claire added.
She finally began to feel as if she belonged in Gryffindor all along and maybe she wasn't placed wrongly.
James, Remus and Peter were all standing outside the statue of the one-eyed witch, which led to the passageway into Honeydukes. It was 11:15.
Sirius came speeding around the corner, shoe soles squealing on the concrete surface underfoot "Guys! Sorry I got held up!" He shouted from the other end of the corridor
"Sirius shut the fuck up now" James hissed
"Oh right, late at night, past curfew, patrolling teachers, sneaking out" Sirius said with random hand gestures explaining absolutely nothing. "So are we going to go or just stand here looking like you want to kill me?"
A/N: So I made a new character and she will maybe come into importance later on in the story. So please just tell me what you think, reviews are great and make me happy. They also make the story better. So advice, criticism, encouragement, praises. Anything and everything! Thanks for reading!
