The young Marauders and the Golden Trio
Chapter 10: What's wrong you look like you've seen a...ghost?
~Ron~
It had been a long walk back, it was getting colder by the minute. Harry was talking to James about the future and all the friends he's made at Hogwarts (of course he didn't mention that James would die along with his wife Lily). James was talking about the all the pranks he's done with Sirius and Remus and he mentioned Peter once or twice which made Harry frown, he was interested in hearing about Sirius and Remus though. And then it came to the time when James would beg Harry to tell him who his wife would be, but he just said that James would have to find out on his own, as Lily shook her head at the two of them and talked to Snape about how could anyone marry James and bear to have a son with him.
When we got to the house I flopped down onto the big red couch in the sitting room. My feet were sore from walking, my hands were cold with the dropping temperature and I was hungry, but my relaxing time didn't last long as Lily pressured us to take a look around the house.
"Come on Evens we just got back from a long walk," complained James as he collapsed into the big armchair.
"And my feet are killing me!" snapped Snape as he sat on one of the chairs kicking off his shoes.
"And I'm hungry" I muttered.
"But should we look around the house before Mrs Rowling comes back!" suggested a determined Lily, she was going to kill us!
"They are right" said Harry politely turning to Lily "I don't think no one has eaten since breakfast, we should have a little snack and then go looking around the house."
"Good plan" said James as he shot of his seat "There should be some biscuits or something" with that he lead the way into the kitchen with Harry following close behind and then Lily and Snape. I didn't bother to get up I thought Harry would bring the food to me at some point, but of course that didn't happen. I heard them opening cupboards and sighing until I got curious and managed to get up from the couch and see what they were up too.
As I got to kitchen I could believe what a saw, cupboards open and stripped bare; no food, plates or cups nothing only three mugs by the sink that was all.
"How strange." muttered Snape.
"I know" agreed Lily "you would think there would be some biscuits or bread here."
"This is creepy" I gasped.
"Maybe she forgot to do the grocery shopping" suggested Harry.
"I don't know" said James "when we saw her she was in a car, so must have been somewhere."
"Maybe the food is in the car and she forgot to take it out" suggested Lily.
"Maybe" said Snape "Let's check the car if she hasn't taken it."
The car was still there in front of the house I can't believe I hadn't noticed it before and I don't think anyone else could either, Harry went to open the boot and surprise, it wasn't locked.
"Who forgets to lock their car" sneered Snape.
"Well this Rowling person seems to be full of surprises" said Lily.
"And talk about surprises" said Harry slowly "look in here."
We went over to the boot and expect finding food we find...a big pile of clothes
"What the..." gasped James, but Harry being as clever as he was pulled out the clothes and dropped them on the ground and found another strange thing, lots of books but not just any old book...They were books of the Dark Arts.
"Oh my god!" I gasped "these books are illegal!" I knew at once what they were because my father had warned me about black covered books.
Harry was about to pick up one of the books when James stopped him "Wait Harry it could be dangerous...let me" and with that he took a set of books out but suddenly he dropped them on the hard cold ground and stared wide eyed at the bottom of the boot.
"What is it dad...James?" Harry cried but then we all saw what he was staring at...money...all types Pounds...euros...Galleon...yens...all different types of money muggle, wizard or from a different countries...there were also some black and white pictures...Lily picked up a pile of pictures and turned her back to us.
"Miss Evens" I said tiptoeing up to her to look over her shoulder, Snape joined me, he leant his long pointy nose over her shoulder and then James and Harry joined us. Lily flipped though the pictures her face get more and more interested with each picture she saw but James more interested than Lily.
"That's...no it can't be!" explained James.
"What" asked Harry worried.
"That's Mrs Rowling"
"It can't be" exclaimed Lily "these are dated like in 1800s."
"But it is!" cried James "It's her I can't believe it."
"Yes you're right Mr James Potter" said a middle aged woman "that's me" smiles Mrs Rowling "What's wrong you look like you've seen a...ghost?"
