Chapter 9
An hour and 10 minutes after James and Lily left, in transfiguration
Kate, Sirius, Remus and Tonks are all in the transfiguration classroom, pretending to listen to Professor McGonagall, while actually talking to each other through the "Marauder chat room". That being a spell you put on your wand, then you write something on a piece of parchment and its sent to all the plain pieces of parchment which have had the username: "Marauder chat room" and the password: "I solemnly swear I'm up to no good" traced on the page with a wand.
The conversation was going a bit like this…
Mr. Padfoot and Miss Kate are telling, not asking, Mr. Moony and Miss Tonks they are coming to a sleepover at the Marauder cave.
Mr. Moony would like to shed light on the fact Mr. Padfoot just wants to sleep in the same bed as Miss Kate again.
Miss Kate wishes to tell Mr. Moony that she has already slept in the same bed as Mr. Padfoot so now Mr. Moony must share a bed with Miss Tonks
…
Miss Tonks says that that sounds fair and Mr. Moony seconds her statement.
Miss Kate would like to let it be known that while Miss Tonks and Mr. Moony are doing homework today she will be practicing Quidditch as she very much doubts Mr. Moony can fly so Miss Tonks must keep him company.
Mr. Padfoot would like it to be known that Mr. Moony is indeed scared of flying.
Miss Tonks is laughing at her pathetic friend.
Mr. Moony would like to let it be known that Mr. Padfoot is afraid of cats.
Mr. Padfoot disagrees with this statement as his isn't scared of them just doesn't like
them.
Mr. Moony doesn't care.
Miss Tonks asked Miss Kate whether she's taking notes.
Miss Kate replies that she doesn't need them… they suck.
Mr. Padfoot exclaims, "Damn straight."
"Mr. Black, Mr. Lupin, Miss Kite and Miss Tonks I do hope they are notes you're writing down" Professor McGonagall said her eagle like eyes staring at the four Gryffindor's.
"Oh we are," Remus assured her.
"Mr. Lupin I believe you," she said, then looking at their relieved looks, added, "however Mr. Black has not taken a note in his life so I sincerely doubt that he is taking notes too."
"No, we're not taking notes. Sirius is helping me with some Quidditch tactics, as me and him have a practice booked for lunch because I want to make the team." Kate said angelically and Sirius couldn't help but admire her marauder spirit and courage.
"As important as Quidditch is please refrain from tactic planning in transfiguration," McGonagall said, but her expression was soft with a smile threatening to show on her thin lips. She was a big Quidditch fan.
As she went back to her lesson Sirius leaned over to Kate. "You are a legend of epic proportions." He said with awe.
"I've heard," Kate smirked back.
About an hour and 10 minutes after they left, James and Lily entered room 249.
"Grandma?" Lily asked the person in the bed behind a curtain.
"Lily dear is that you? Oh I'm just getting changed wait one second while I get back
into bed and pop my slippers back on. Can you send a Patronus to a healer to get me some tea?" A kindly old woman's voice came from the other side of the pale pink curtain.
"Nan I'm underage," Lily said frowning.
"They won't be able to pick up the trace here just send for some tea to the kitchens. Send for a cup for yourself to."
"Alright then." Lily said, and then added in an undertone, "Want one James?"
He nodded and she sent her Patronus to the kitchens, getting a reply that they are just being brought up.
Soon the pink curtain opened to reveal a kind looking old woman with unusually bright green eyes and a soft smile.
"Nan I've missed you so much!" Lily smiled and hugged her Nan, "I'm so glad you're ok" she said, wiping away a few tears that have escaped her eyes.
"It takes a lot to hurt me, Lily. I'm a tough old bird." Her Nan smiled kindly.
"Nan there's someone I'd like you to meet," Lily said as James came round the corner holding 3 cups of tea, "this is my boyfriend James Potter."
"The "arrogant toe rag I hate his guts" James Potter?" Lily's grandma laughed as he handed her the tea, "No offence dear, but he seems quite lovely."
"Oh he is. It just took me 6 years to realize that," Lily grinned at James who grinned back.
"It's nice to meet you Mrs. Evans," James said politely.
"What a polite young man."
"I'm not usually but I'm trying to make a good first impression."
"Well your passing with flying colours" her Nan smiled. "Whose idea was it to visit me?"
"Mine actually; Lily was quite sad when she got her letter about you." James said, frowning at the thought of Lily in distress.
"A lovely, polite and caring young man; He's a keeper Lily. I here wedding bells in your future." Lily's Nan teased.
Lily blushed, avoiding James' eye.
The 3 chatted for a bit then James and Lily set up their beds and talked some more with Lily's Nan, who was convinced Lily and James were going to get married.
2 hours and 10 minutes after James and Lily left, on the Quidditch pitch, Kate and Sirius were flying around.
"CAN'T CATCH ME FOOL!" Kate laughed, speeding around on Sirius's broom, the familiar wind whipping through her hair and past her skin. Not in a painful way, more like a gentle caress of an old friend. She loved flying, being weightless, the broom
hers to control and maneuver. She loved it so much she couldn't help but smile and laugh out loud, falling into a dive, then pulling out at the perfect moment, turning and swerving; it was like a beautiful yet very natural dance to perform in the air. She was defiantly going to try for chaser.
"Kate I can't catch you, I'm a beater, hard and rigid not light and speedy," Sirius laughed
into the wind, his messed up dark hair blowing about him wildly.
"If you can't catch me what can you do?" Kate taunted.
"Hit you with a bat?" He supplied with a cocky grin on his face.
"Oh you'd like that Black" she said speeding to a stop next to him, hovering next to him lying back on his broomstick while sat up on James's.
"Oh no" Sirius looked down at the pitch, "we have to stop this lesson now"
"What? Why?" Kate frowned.
"Them, it's their practice time now" Kate looked down to find who "them" were and saw a group of students in green and silver Quidditch robes, the Slytherin team.
They flew out the pitch and dismounted just outside the stadium to be met by a greasy-haired Slytherin with a big nose a sneer on his face. "Nice flying black, got yourself another girlfriend did you?" The boy said.
"Jealous Snape?" Sirius retorted with an expression of pure loathing.
"No, I mean I know you're a player but corrupting the new girl. That a new low." Snape scorned.
Kate didn't like his tone of voice OR the way he talked to her friend, "corrupting? Ha! I'm not corruptible and I don't like the way you're talking to my friend, big nose," she said, scowling.
"Your friend, please, I bet all he sees in you is ways to get you into bed." Snape said, ignoring her comment about his nose.
"Maybe that's all some boys see but Sirius is different, he actually cares about people. Oh and one more thing, take a shower greasy. I bet muggles could cook chips of your face."
"Just like you Gryffindor's, all talk but no action," Snape said, egging her on.
Kate started to advance on Snape but Sirius stopped her, "Come on he's not worth it" he said looking into her eyes, she shot one more look in the Slytherin's direction then nodded at Sirius.
"As I said all talk but no…" unfortunately Snape didn't get to finish that sentence as Sirius sent a body bind curse his way while Kate set a flock of angry birds on him.
"The body bind will let up in 5 minutes have fun" Sirius said and Kate did a little wave, got on the back of James's broom holding Sirius's and they flew off to the tower, via the kitchens to get food for the sleep over, laughing their heads off.
