The Hogwarts train finally arrived at Hogsmeade where it was so stormy outside, I was amazed I could even walk (well run) to safety within a Threstral (which I still couldn't see) drawn carriage with Luna.
"The Threstrals seem to be enjoying the weather." She remarked staring out of the window as she dried herself off with a drying charm then did the same to me because I had never bothered to learn the spell.
We had to wait for everyone to get off the carriage and as we waited Seamus, Dean and Neville joined us in the carriage soaking wet.
"Hello!" Seamus beamed once he saw me in the carriage as he slumped down next to me. He only noticed that Luna was in the carriage once he sat down and waved.
"Move over, Seamus!" Dean grinned before I could even reply and I was soon squashed against the wall. Neville sat down next to Luna somewhat awkwardly who smiled in greeting.
"Would you like me to dry you off?" Luna asked Neville who nodded. She performed the spell on him and Neville sighed in relief.
"Thank you, Luna!"
I realised this was probably the first time that Luna was around all three of the guys at the same time.
"Seamus? Dean?" Luna asked and they both nodded too and soon everyone was dry and being squashed against a wall wasn't as bad. I made a mental note that we should all probably learn that drying charm soon.
"I feel sorry for the first years, you know." Seamus mused and everyone nodded in agreement.
"They won't even get to see Hogwarts properly!" Dean exclaimed and we all frowned then I started thinking of the first time I saw Hogwarts and I'm pretty sure everyone else was thinking the same thing.
I had been the last to arrive to the boats and had almost missed Hagrid until a 7th year told me which way to go and so I was put into a boat with Neville who became my first friend. I had been by myself on the train which sounds quite crazy to me now considering how crowded it gets but I guess now it was because of my clothes maybe. Since my dad hadn't exactly got much money around that time, we had just about enough to get my supplies let alone clothes that looked acceptable so I had boarded the Hogwarts express in a rather worn jumper and some old jeans that had frayed at the ends. It didn't matter that much to me though because my dad had given me a diary of sorts that the Marauders had used on a daily basis for their pranks so I didn't feel so alone and the journey flew by - the book had at least 5 years worth of pranks and had been magically extended but concealed at the same time if that makes sense. I should probably give some ideas to Fred and George and claim them as my own...
We chatted away for the rest of the journey about our holidays and such and soon we arrived at the castle and despite being dry, got completely drenched once again by the time we got into the warm haven of Hogwarts. Luna quickly performed the drying charm and smiled airily at the entrance hall and said "I'm so glad we're back here, aren't you?"
We all agreed and made our way into the great hall which already had a fair amount of people inside and bid a farewell of sorts to Luna before finding a good place on the table to sit.
"We should really talk to Luna more, you know," Dean suggested and I nodded.
"She's really nice when you get to know her!" I defended seeing Seamus and Neville's surprised looks.
"Ok! Ok!" Seamus relented and Neville just nodded looking guilty.
"I'm sure she'll be glad to sit with us!" I grinned and they agreed.
We took up thinking of theories of what the formal attire could be again and the Weasley twins and Lee Jordan sat next to us and joined in.
"Our brother knows something else too and he wouldn't tell us!" Fred complained resting his head on his hand.
"It's definitely something big, he said he was going to try and get time off to see it!" George explained further and I wondered what it could even be.
"My money is on a weird sister's concert." Lee stated and we all laughed.
"That would be rather awesome..." Seamus trailed off with awe - he was a weird sister's fan although not to the extent some people were but he was still a big fan.
Dumbledore greeted the hall quickly and allowed the food to appear that had been made by the elves and we all dug in glad to finally have a proper meal after being on a train all day.
Then Dumbledore dropped the news of the Triwizard tournament starting again but only 17 year olds and up could try out for it which led to a massive rant from Fred and George while Lee just laughed. I was secretly glad they couldn't try out for it - according to Dumbledore there was a death toll from the tournament which led to it being cancelled in the first place and I don't think I could handle any of them dying.
Turns out Beauxbatons and Durmstrang - two other wizarding schools in other countries were going to arrive here in October. Only a month to have to ourselves it seemed before some French girls and Scandinavian boys turned up. Hooray?
Oh and our new defence against the dark arts teacher made a dramatic entrance too - Mad eye moody - known for his great tactics and bravery. I had conflicting thoughts about wanting to meet him or not due to the amount of respect I had for him thanks to my father.
We walked back to the common room wondering what sort of tasks will be in the tournament then said goodnight and went to our respective dormitories. I was greeted by Lavender and Parvarti before they went back to gossiping about the Durmstrang boys already. I internally rolled my eyes and got into my pyjamas and brushed my teeth and whatnot. I talked to Hermione for a short while when she arrived about our holidays and the Triwizard tournament a little bit before we went to sleep.
The next morning I woke up bright and early as usual and, after getting ready, went into the common room in hopes of finding something that had been left behind or a notice on the board. There was no notice but surprisingly a witch weekly so I decided to read that for a bit and once I finished, I had found out that a Quidditch player was involved in a love triangle (apparently), there was a new club opening in London that was going to be expensive by the looks of it and my horoscope told me that love was just around the corner and a secret admirer would come forward in the next few days - as if.
It was soon a reasonable time to go down to breakfast so leaving the witch weekly where I had found it for the owner, I made my way to the great hall where there were a few people already there already thankfully.
After a while of eating on my own, Neville joined me and we talked about how long we reckoned Mad Eye Moody would last.
"Mr Longbottom, Miss Lupin," Professor McGonagall interrupted to give us our timetables, then after a pause, gave us Seamus' and Dean's then walked away again.
"Oh lovely..." I said observing the timetable then looked at Neville, Dean and Seamus' - we all had identical timetables."
"Morning!" Seamus greeted cheerfully sitting down next to me and Dean next to Neville. "Lovely day isn't it? Is that my timetable? Thanks!" He grabbed the timetable before I could register what was happening. Dean just rolled his eyes and took his own, gave it a once over then helped himself to some breakfast.
"We've got the same timetable!" Seamus observed looking too close for comfort over my shoulder.
"So have Dean and Neville! I don't know how I'm going to survive being surrounded by you lot for the rest of the year!" I exclaimed mockingly and Seamus frowned and nudged me.
The nudge fight lasted a total of five minutes before Dean and Neville decided it was getting out of hand and stopped us before we were going to end up with bruises.
The lessons for the rest of the week went by without much change from last year except for Professor Moody who managed to terrify the class by showing us the three unforgivable curses. Can't wait for next lesson! (She says sarcastically)
"Oi, Lupin!" I heard someone yell as I walked to the owlery on the Friday after Transfiguration. It was George.
"Hello, George?" I greeted as more of a question than anything.
"Where you going?"
"Owlery, you?"
"Me too!" He grinned, "Mind if I tag along?"
"Of course not!" I hoped he wouldn't see the letter I had written to Sirius when we got there - I had written Padfoot on the letter and we all know how much he worshipped them. I also had a letter to my dad making sure he was updated on my life so far and about the Triwizard tournament in case he didn't already know about it.
"So this tournament, eh?" George made conversation and I rolled my eyes.
"It's a bit silly, but I'm glad it's over 17's," I watched George give a face of mock horror and laughed.
"But don't you want me to bring pride to our school and show everyone just how amazing I truly am?" George bragged puffing out his chest.
"Well if you put it like that... no." I smirked as we walked out of the castle onto the grounds and watched an owl fly back to the owlery where we were also heading.
"It's not fair, Faye!" George began to whine and I just ignored him.
George soon realised I was ignoring him though and said, "The prize is so much money! Everyone could do with that!"
I continued to ignore him even though I agreed.
"What about..." George paused for a moment, "If the tasks involved something cool like the puzzles that Harry, Ron and Hermione went through to get the philosophers stone? That's not exactly dangerous is it?"
"I still can't believe first years got past high security measures," I shook my head and George grinned victoriously at getting me to reply.
"So who are you sending a letter to?" George tactically changed the subject as we approached the owlery and began walking up the large amount of steps.
"My dad, you?" I didn't tell him about the other letter I had in my pocket. I had written my dad and Sirius practically identical letters about the Triwizard tournament, I figured they wouldn't see each other's letters anyway.
"Mum will be sending a howler if I don't send a letter every other week to tell her me and ickle Freddie are ok!" George winked and opened the door for me. I felt slight warmth in my cheeks as I entered the room and was immediately faced with poop on my face.
"Great." I mumbled wondering just how I was going to get it out. I heard George let out a small wince in sympathy.
"Happens to the best of us, Faye, happened to me in first year - that was nightmare to get out - but you're in safe hands now! I happen to be a master at getting unusual mixtures off people with ease," George assured me and I raised an eyebrow but then stopped, feeling the poop move and shuddered and told George to quickly get on with it. He grinned, waved his wand as me muttered the spell under his breath, looking into my eyes so deeply the entire time, I didn't even notice the poop had gone. An owl squawked above us and we both jolted out of our frozen state and George scratched his neck, and winked and went to find an owl. I blinked and called for Margo being too lazy to find him myself and soon enough he flew down onto my arm and cooed softly. I gave him an owl treat and handed him the two letters when George was busy tying his own letter to an owl. I quickly tied my own to Margo. "Have a nice journey, Margo!" I whispered under my breath, "Tell me how the weather is will you?" I stroked his head one last time before letting him fly off with George's owl just behind him.
"Wow, look at the sunset!" I exclaimed looking out of one of the windows. I didn't even realise what time it was but it was definitely later that I thought and George joined me at the small window.
"That is rather... Beautiful..." He trailed off as I examined the different shades of pink blend in with one another. "Shouldn't the feast be starting soon?" George asked suddenly and I frowned.
"Probably... Better get going then, shall we?" I said walking towards the door, George walked quicker and opened the door, "After you milady!" George saluted and I felt my cheeks heat up again slightly as we walked back outside.
"I love sunsets," I said suddenly as we walked across the bridge with a full view of the sunset, "me too," he agreed.
The rest of the journey was quite silent but it was companionable silence, George seemed to be thinking hard about something so I decided to let him be and we parted to our different groups once we entered the hall where dinner was just beginning.
"What were you doing with Weasley?" Seamus asked me pretty much immediately after I sat down and Dean rolled his eyes.
"At the owlery, bumped into him on the way, 'hey Freya' is a normal greeting, you know!" I told him, helping myself to some chicken from the middle of the table.
"Sorry..." Seamus mumbled and I grinned.
"So Neville," I said turning to the person in question, "what's your opinion of mad eye moody?"
"He's very sadistic, isn't he?" Neville frowned and I sighed sympathetically. The man had cast the cruciatus curse on a spider, all the while looking at Neville and it was no secret that his parents were currently in St Mungos thanks to Bellatrix. His mother doesn't even recognise him and that's the sad thing, just gives him sweet wrappers - Neville kept every single one. He told me one day in year two when it was just us on the grounds and it gave me hope that maybe she'll remember one day along with his father.
"He turned Malfoy into a ferret though, remember!" Dean compromised and I raised an eyebrow, "he did WHAT?"
"Malfoy was insulting harry as he usually does and Moody appears from nowhere and turns him into a ferret!" Dean explained.
"Of course, McGonagall got a bit mad..." Seamus added.
"Makes sense - she's got morals unlike him." I looked over to the teacher table where she was having a conversation with Hagrid about something. I looked to where Mad eye moody sat and watched his false eye whiz around in its socket until it stared at me and I immediately went back to staring at my food feeling uncomfortable.
It wasn't until a week later that anything significant happened. This came in the form of the Weasley twins and Lee (as if it would be anyone else) who were planning a prank when I walked into the common room really early/late due to not being able to sleep.
"Lupin!" Fred greeted warmly while George and Lee grinned. "Come hither, child!"
I rolled my eyes and walked over, "what are you planning today?" I asked looking over the various sweet wrappers on the table.
"Well," Lee replied, "we haven't given Snape a warm greeting yet and figured we should before he begins to think we've forgotten him!"
"The plan is..." George explained the plan and soon we were outside professor Snape's office holding enchanted paint bombs. I was only holding one, as much as I liked the prank, I couldn't bring myself to put misery upon the poor man but then again, he was the one who told the entire Slytherin table about my dad being a werewolf... I took another paint bomb from the pile on the ground and got ready to throw them.
"Fred and I will go ahead and wake up the slimy haired git, you guys follow behind us," George ordered in captain mode. We all nodded and followed the twins into the office as quietly as we could.
"WAKEY WAKEY, SNAPEY!" Fred and George suddenly yelled and Snape was up in an instant. Too bad Fred and George had already thrown their ammo as they shouted for him to wake up so he sat up to come face to face with two paint bombs.
"FIRE!" George commanded and we all threw the remaining paint bombs. My two managed to hit him square in the face (I was very proud).
"YOU IMBECILES." Snape managed to yell after we ran out of ammo, and ran out of the office before he could react.
As we ran, I heard footsteps behind us and I was suddenly yanked into a passageway by George who shushed me. We waited for the footsteps to pass and I realised that Fred and Lee had disappeared.
"Where's Fred and Lee?" I asked and George shrugged, "we almost always get separated, come on, we better get back to the common room before Snape finds us!" George's eyes practically lit up at that thought and it made realise just how much he loved pranking and be glad that I wasn't on his bad side.
George began to lead the way back chatting conversationally about how well the prank had gone and how he couldn't wait to see him at breakfast - Did I mention that the paint had a permanent charm on it?
We arrived at the common room last and Fred and Lee greeted us dramatically,
"We're so glad you're back!"
"We thought you had died!"
They grinned and initiated high fives with us which I happily did.
Fred suddenly yawned dramatically, "I'm shattered!"
Lee and George nodded in agreement and they all went to bed, all winking at me as they left.
Once I was alone I decided to uncover the marauders prank log book to pass the time until breakfast because I had no chance at sleeping with adrenaline rushing through me from the prank.
By the time 6am arrived I had read about 30 detailed pranks and James potter saying how hot Lily Evans was about 20 times. I wonder what Harry would say if he knew how big of a crush his dad had on his mum during school...
I also reread a passage that I had completely forgotten about. On top of the astronomy tower, James suddenly had an idea that they should make a deck that only they knew about. This was in 7th year so naturally they already knew plenty of spells and within the week, it was finished, concealed and most definitely safe. They even put 4 bean bags up there! I was definitely going to be checking this out soon.
Dumbledore was walking into the Great hall when I arrived and greeted me good morning, "Professor Snape isn't very happy, You might want to skip his lesson today, let's get breakfast started shall we?" Dumbledore winked as I wondered how he knew I was involved until I realised Snape had probably gone and told him. I watched as the tables filled with rows of toast and the occasional cereal box and bowls along with plates and spoons.
Once Seamus, Dean and Neville arrived, I told them about the prank I had helped to pull, which they laughed about with me and I saw Professor Snape walk in and give me a death glare as he walked up to the teachers table. He was sadly spotless.
"I think Dumbledore has given me permission to skip double potions today," I added looking away from his glare.
"Good idea," Seamus agreed, "we'll make sure to give you the homework though!"
I glared at him and he just grinned back. "Wouldn't want you to fall behind!"
"Am I going to end up helping you on homework for a lesson I wasn't there for?"
"... Maybe," Seamus admitted and Dean smirked, "well I shall try and concentrate extra hard this time ok?"
"Thanks, Dean; I can always rely on you!" I said in what I hoped was sincere because I did mean it.
Fred scruffed my hair as he George and Lee walked by and I exclaimed a quick 'hey!' As I patted it down again. George winked on Fred's behalf as they walked by and I heard myself growling.
"Woah there, Faye!" Seamus exclaimed and I grinned sheepishly, "sorry!"
I watched Fred and George mutter something, taking quick glances at Snape who was clearly not amused.
Seamus, Dean, Neville and I all headed to divination for the first lesson of the day and let me tell you – it wasn't very interesting and once it was finished, I was one of the first people out of there.
I realised I had double potions next and decided to go to the library to read up on any supposed mythological beasts I could find. I said goodbye to my friends and headed over there.
I hadn't entered the library yet since I had arrived and I was glad to be met by a silence that can only be achieved in libraries - the kind where you can still hear people but in a way that they don't disturb you. I greeted Madam Pince on the way on and she muttered a quiet 'hello' clearly wanting me to stop talking to her so I did. I found the creatures section, pulled out a random 10 books and found a comfortable seat to begin reading.
10 books later, I know knew that unicorns used to be used by the greatest wizards of the century to travel as they were the only people, the unicorns deemed worthy. Then a wizard misused his power and the unicorns disappeared for a while.
Isn't history fun in the wizard world? That is, if you don't have professor Binns telling you the facts.
Later that day, I remembered about the astronomy tower and headed up there hoping there was no-one around. I was in luck! Unfortunately I didn't know which knight was the correct knight. Apparently I just had to say "I solemnly swear I'm up for chilling" In front of the correct knight. This may take a while...
On the 5th knight, the knight moved aside slightly and the wall behind opened inwards. I quickly slip inside and watched the door smoothly fell back into place behind me as soon as I crossed the doorway. I noticed a small inscription on the wall saying 'Chilling accomplished' It wasn't in my dad's or Sirius's writing and I doubt they would've let Pettigrew write it so I was staring at James Potter's handwriting – cool. This must be what to say to get out. I turned around to face the steps that twisted around what must've been the entire tower. They looked similar to the steps to the dormitory. I walked up them until I came to an opening with a brilliant view of the lake.
I saw the beanbags and couldn't help testing them out and boy were they comfy. I'm pretty sure they had been charmed to be extra comfy.
I must have fallen asleep because once I had woken, there was a sunset going on in front of me. I realised this must be the highest point of the entire castle and I looked around a bit more now I was suddenly feeling much more awake than I was earlier even though I didn't realise it. Even though I couldn't see around the entire tower from here but there was a back wall with a load of inscriptions and doodles on it such as one from James and Sirius:
James Potter is the most handsome marauder
In your dreams, mate
And reality too!
Even Lily Potter doesn't think you're handsome, doesn't that say something?
At least I have someone to dote my affections on.
Just because I have more admirers than you
That you ignore
Like you?
Touché
(I'm pretty sure you can tell who is who)
There was also a picture of each of their animagus forms – drawn by James - each with something that they each felt needed to be added:
James, as a stag had a crown on his head looking important.
Sirius as a dog was sitting on a pile of food and chucking a piece of bread at James' crown.
My dad as a wolf who was yelling at Sirius and James to stop messing around.
... And Pettigrew as a rat which had clearly been drawn when he wasn't there because he was bowing to the other three.
There was also a small window which looked down upon the floor of the astronomy tower.
I realised that dinner was probably beginning and since there was no-one below, I quickly made my way back out, making sure to say 'Chilling Accomplished' to open the door.
A few days passed without much excitement apart from Hermione's birthday in which it was my turn to jump on her bed excited as I shoved her present from me in her face. She woke up slightly dazed but quickly woke up seeing the small pile of presents by her bed.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" I yelled and she quickly shushed me as we heard a grumble across the room which soon returned to a snore – definitely Lavender.
"Now open my present." I demanded as she sat up and got comfortable. She unwrapped it she gasped. It was a pair of earrings I had spotted from the dress store back in Diagon Alley that Hermione had gazed at as much as she could subtly but it didn't work. I returned to the shop later on to get it her being the nice friend I am and also, since I didn't often get presents for girls, I never exactly knew what to get.
"Was I too obvious?" Hermione smiled tracing the flower design.
"Maybe a little," I replied.
"Oh thank you so much!" She hugged me and then opened some more presents which had stuff such as books and notebooks.
Ron and Harry hadn't exactly been inventive and had given her chocolate frogs (Ron) and a book on advanced spells (Harry).
Another event that had happened was that once again, on the way to the owlery, I met George who I had seen in the distance talking with Fred almost in a distressed way until he left grinning and George walked back to meet me almost too confidently.
"Why, hello there!" He winked and I rolled my eyes.
"Where's Fred off to?" I asked.
"To bug Angelina, I expect," He remarked with a grin. "What about you?"
"To the owlery, dad finally replied to me," which was true - No letter to Sirius this time. In the letter to my Dad I had told him about how I had visited the chill out zone place on the astronomy tower after rereading the book they had made. In his reply before he had told me that he did know vaguely about the Triwizard tournament but not enough to be sure.
"What a coincidence! I'm going that way too!" George exclaimed a little too excitedly that I raised an eyebrow.
"The owlery isn't that exciting."
"Oh, but it is," George grinned and I couldn't help wonder if he was hinting at something else but I couldn't be sure.
We discussed the prank on Snape and how he had completely lost his temper with Fred, George and Lee in potions, giving them a month's detentions and 20 points each.
"You must be the only people that can get away with a huge loss of points," I mused and George nodded, "Unlike Potter and pals, eh?"
"You were just as bad as everyone else!" I argued.
"Yeah well... got a reputation to keep, you know!" He objected and even I knew that was a terrible comeback.
We reached the owlery and George opened the door and said, "Ladies first, oh and watch out for overhead owl poop!" He grinned as I hit him in the arm – bad mistake.
"Oww! Merlin, you have arms of steel!" I exclaimed.
"Well a legendary wizard such as me needs to keep strong for Quidditch!" He boasted and I laughed pretending not to show that my hand was in serious pain.
"You know, the last person who tried that had a broken wrist..." George said more seriously.
I tried to wave him off but realised I used the hand that was in pain and I cursed while George laughed at my failure.
"Let me just send this letter and I'll be right back, ok?" He said concerned and gave me one last look over before walking up the stairs.
Once he was gone I quickly whistled down Margo who, over the summer, I had spent a good few days teaching to respond to this because I can never be bothered to find him in the owlery, lazy I know but hey – it's better today, right?
I simply let Margo take the letter in his mouth and wished him a good time in whatever sunny country he had to travel to he gave a muffled hoot and nuzzled me before taking flight.
George swiftly arrived back again a minute later, "Can I see your hand?" He asked and I nodded, holding out the hand and looking down to see it had swollen slightly.
"Oh that's bloody brilliant." I muttered, "I can see the questions now, 'How did you break it?' they'll say and I'll have to say I punched bloody George Weasley's arm made of steel."
George snorted and muttered a spell under his breath as he waved his wand over my hand. I watched as the swelling went down in amazement.
"You have some skill, thinking of becoming a healer anytime soon?" I joked as I flexed my newly fixed hand.
"Hospitals and I don't mix; besides, Merlin knows how many accidents Fred and I have been in, we need spells like this to survive!" He didn't let go of my hand and I reluctantly let go feeling awkward, George cleared his throat, "Right, letters sent! Lets continue our adventure to the ..." He paused for dramatic effect, "CASTLE! Dun, dun, dun..." He made a lopsided grin and I laughed at his terrible joke and followed him out of the owlery thankful that he broke the awkwardness.
It wasn't long before a notice was put up in the common room about the arrival of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang on the Friday which put everyone in a new mood. Seamus and Dean wouldn't stop imagining what the girls were like and they weren't the only ones. It seemed that pretty much every guy's conversation I heard involved the words 'Foreign' and 'ladies'. Of course, every girl's conversation I heard involved the words, 'guys' and 'hot'. I personally wanted to see if these schools were as nice as ours or stuck up and posh. The teachers were no different, the school began to look the nicest it had done in a long time and when the evening arrived potions was stopped half an hour early so everyone could dispose of their bags, put on a cloak and wait outside for the arrival of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang.
Beauxbatons were first to arrive, in a large carriage drawn by winged horses with evil looking eyes. I made a mental note to never go near them – they had the largest hooves that I'm pretty sure could kill.
Seamus, next to me, was staring transfixed on the horses with a look of horror, "Their eyes..." He mumbled and Dean patted him sympathetically.
I overheard Fred not far away say to George and Lee about how he 'couldn't wait to try out his charms on new prey' and they agreed. I rolled my eyes.
It didn't take long for Durmstrang to arrive, by boat. I wondered how the giant squid had reacted to 'his' lake being disturbed by this large boat that was currently docking. I watched as a group of students walked out of the boat towards us and wondered if they had to wear their coats as part of their uniform. They looked warm for this weather though so I was slightly jealous.
Dumbledore greeted their headmaster, Professor Karkaroff who had a weird smile.
Then the biggest news of the night happened. Victor Krum, the Quidditch player, was officially going to be at Hogwarts.
"That's Krum!" I heard throughout the crowd, mainly from guys who were clearly Quidditch fanatics and were suddenly turning into fan girls at the site of him. Even Seamus and Dean were, I laughed to myself then listened to their discussion about how they might get to see him in action as we walked back inside.
A/N I haven't written in a while, I apologise. I would say I will update more often but this year is full of EXAMS. That's right, those horrible things which people say matter but they don't. Oh the joy... If I'm honest I just want to skip to the announcement of the Yule Ball so maybe some boy attention can start! George has already begun to notice Faye it seems even though she's choosing to be oblivious, silly Faye. I'm curious who you guys think Faye should go to the Ball with... Just click that button below and tell me who!
George: It's clearly going to be me, look I'm so handsome.
Seamus: Puh-lease, She's known me longer!
*insert unmentioned guy here*: Guys, Maybe it will be me!
George and Seamus: IN YOUR DREAMS, MATE.
Those are the main two I can't decide between – but maybe you think it should be someone else? :)
I hope my representation of the marauders in their last year of Hogwarts was good enough for you guys, I've never written them before xD
Anyways, tell me your thoughts please! Much appreciated :3
