Ok, Copyright... Well, the songs I borrowed belong to the original owners and the Bring It
On soundtrack, The Josie and The Pussycats soundtrack, the I Still Know What You Did Last Summer Soundtrack, and Blessid Union of Souls cd, any others who I borrow songs from.. and the songs Can't Fight the Moonlight and I Do Love You. The charicters mostly belong to J.K Rowling. A few belong to myself. The names belong to whoever created them. The quotes I borrowed from TV belong to their original writers/qouters whatever!!
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Okay people, this is (as you can tell) about the Marauders. This takes place in their sixth and seventh years. There is a traitor in the midst of the Marauders, but who is it? This will take some abrupt turns later on, and the traitor isn't who you would expect. It will get better later, I promise!!! This is my first attempt at writing a Harry Potter fanfic, so cut me some slack. I am more well known for my Tenchi Muyo fanfics . . . Anyway, this is a four part story, so please enjoy!!!
AUTHOR'S NOTE 2: Sorry it took so long for me to post this! I've been checking out a real "haunted" house with my friend, Sara. Too bad it's been knocked down... I'm going back tommorrow and checking it out more. After all, I want to check it out because it has something to do with the end of this story, along with the graveyard that's in our neighborhood from the 1850's (Around Blair Witch time for you horror movie buffs). I'm trying to become a more experienced and better writer by actually having seen my setting. It will help me make the ending A LOT better!!
Chapter 14: The Return of the Cheerleaders
The next morning it was damp as the students filed out to the quidditch field for the final game of the school year. The sky above them was threatening rain, and thunder could be heard a distance away. But still, nothing would dampen the mood of the crowd as they eagerly awaited the beginning of yet another exciting match. As the two teams, Slytherin and Gryffindor, got ready to go out on the field, the crowd's cheers became louder.
"Cheerleaders," Amos Diggory muttered irritably. Being the team captain, he found the cheerleaders a distraction. He turned back to his team. "Are we ready?"
They all muttered their yeses, and finally made their way to the field. After Amos shook hands with the Slytherin team captain, they were off.
******
Meilin and Selena walked to their side of the stadium. Both were wearing green for the occasion, whereas Lily and Shampoo were wearing red. Both had disagreed with Meilin's sudden idea. Selena was actually overjoyed. Meilin wasn't quite sure if she was either.
They started out with a simple routine which involved a couple flips and ended in a backflip. The crowd loved it. Breaking out into another cheer, they kept the crowd going.
Why am I doing this? Meilin asked herself. I'm not supposed to look cute and cheer for the Slytherins. I'm a Ravenclaw, and I personally vowed not to have anything to do with them...
"I need to get my head checked." She grumbled, doing another flip.
******
Celestina and Rebia took their seats in the stands, not far from the ground. She took out a pair of omniculars and focused on the air above her.
"No much going on here." She said to Rebia, who was digging furiously through her bag. "What are you doing, anyway?"
"Looking for something." Rebia groaned. "Crap. I left it in our dorm."
"For the hundredth time, what are you looking for?"
"My dagger."
"I won't even ask." Celestina shook her head. Rebia was too confusing sometimes. She focused her mind on Shampoo, who was a few yards away.
"Rebia?" She didn't bother to keep her tone down.
"Hm?" Rebia looked up.
"Who do you think is going to win?" She was impatient.
Rebia knew that look all too well. Celestina was up to something.
"Gryffindor, obviously." She paused. "Why?"
"No reason. Five galleons they lose." She sat back in her seat. "You know what? I hate cheerleaders." She knew Shampoo had heard her. She wanted it that way. "Everyone can cheer. It's easy."
"What are you doing?" Rebia hissed.
"Do you know all of the cheerleaders of the world's motto?" Celestina grinned an evil grin. She started chanting, loud but clear, and sure enough, Shampoo heard her.
It's a good thing everyone's hooked on the game ... thought Rebia.
"Oh no, the sun! It's bleaching out my hair!" Celestina chanted. "24, 34, I don't even know the score! Go team, fight, fight! Gee, I hope I look all right!" She smirked as Shampoo lost it.
"Why you little-" Shampoo was interrupted by Remus, who was giving a rather loud commentary about Gryffindor scoring the first goal. Shampoo stamped her foot and stalked off, Celestina laughing behind her.
******
Arena arrived at the field later than planned. Once again she had slept in late. She ran a ways up the stands, looking for a good seat. Having no friends, It didn't matter where she sat. She could sit next to a swarm of angry hornets and couldn't care less. But then, with the state her life was in, she didn't care. Hmm... she thought, going up even more stairs. There is no place up here... Suddenly she got an idea. She didn't like it, but it was a sacrifice she was willing to make since she loved quidditch so much. She had tried out for the team, but they were worried she was too underweight. That might prove bad in bad weather. She went to the direct top of the stadium and turned off towards the commentator's box. Opening the door slowly, she slipped inside. Inside sat her worst enemy, Remus Lupin, and her mother. She sat down on the other side of Remus, ignoring her mother's gaze. She had outdone herself. And she did it in a way that wasn't wrong.
******
Meilin watched Narcissa cheer. She doesn't need my help, she thought. She scanned the field, a particularly grassy spot catching her eyes. She won't notice, her mind continued. No one ever does. She made sure Narcissa was busy before taking off. Finally she lay down in the cool grass, a soft breeze ruffling her hair and skirt. She closed her eyes and opened them again, watching the clouds slowly drift by, and occasionally, a Quidditch player flying overhead. Suddenly a strange feeling crossed over her. It was unfamiliar and awkward. "Sirius," she called to the wind. She stood up and tripped. Suddenly her lower body was wracking with pain. She could only think of two things, the pain and Sirius.
******
Lily felt a nervous feeling wash over her. Something was wrong. She looked around at her fellow cheerleaders. She ran her eyes over the field, and noticed Meilin a distance off, laying in the grass. She caught eyes with Peter and beckoned him down on the field. Stubbornly he descended the stairs and met her on the field. She looked up. The professors weren't paying attention, which didn't surprise her. They were more interested watching the game. She didn't blame them, it was a rather interesting sport. Her and Peter jogged towards Meilin, neither able to run.
"Oh God, Peter," Lily panted when they got to the pain-stricken Meilin. "We're going to have to get her to the Hospital wing." She was interrupted by Meilin, who clearly wouldn't have it.
"No," she whispered. "No."
Lily thought for a moment. She wanted what was best for her friend, but she wanted to do her bidding also. "Peter," She said after a minute, "Go get Shampoo. I'm going to need help getting her into the tower." Peter jogged off, clearly annoyed he was missing a game. Meilin rested her head back on the ground, and didn't bother to try and sit up.
"Meilin, What happened? Are you okay?" Lily asked, sitting down next to her.
"I hurt my leg." Meilin murmured. Lily had to lean closer to hear her.
"Do you think you can walk on it?"
"I don't think so."
Meilin opened her eyes as soon as Shampoo had reached them, followed closely by Narcissa and Peter.
Meilin muttered something Lily missed, and Shampoo turned around and gave Peter an order.
******
"Peter? Hello, Peter?" Peter jerked his attention from the game to Shampoo. "As soon as the game is over, go find Sirius and tell him to get his butt up to the Ravenclaw tower. Got it?"
Peter nodded, happy he got to watch the rest of the game. "Narcissa, you're on your own. You can come with us, or you can stay here with Peter. Your choice."
"I'm coming." Narcissa replied shortly. "There's no way I'm going to cheer on my own."
Lily and Shampoo helped Meilin limp up to Ravenclaw tower, where she fell onto her bed and fell almost instantly into sleep.
"C'mon, we'll go wait in the common room." Shampoo said quietly, and went and plopped down in her favorite armchair.
"I think we should take her to Madame Pomfrey." Lily said a few minutes later.
"No." Shampoo had almost the same persistency as Meilin in her voice.
"You know what?" Lily could feel anger welling up inside her. "I think that you know something about Meilin we don't sometimes."
"Maybe I do." Shampoo had an unfamiliar coldness in her voice.
******
Meilin was awaken about an hour later. Her leg hurt worse, and she had a splitting headache. Since she was awake, and no one was there, she decided to write to her penpal, Ken.
Pulling out a couple pieces of parchment and her favorite quill, she dipped it in her favorite red ink.
Dear Ken,
How are you? If I'm anything, it's somewhere between lonely and okay. If that's possible. How's life in Japan? I miss it terribly. Is anything new over there? How's your brother?
Hogwarts is great, I guess. Lately, though, I've been wanting something more. But I'm not sure what. Oh, and to answer your last question, Shampoo is STILL trying to get Remus' attention. Good luck to her. Being one of those days, I have nothing more to say. Well, write back soon!
Your penpal,
Meilin Hioko Serene
She hesitated a moment, then put her quill back in the drawer. She pulled out an already addressed envelope and stuck the short letter in it. She sealed it and laid it on her dresser, ready for whenever she managed to get to her owl. It didn't look like anytime soon.
She sighed and lay back down in bed. Something really was missing in her life. But how could that be? She had everything; Popularity, many guys falling at her feet, great friends. What could be missing?
******
Skuld watched Gryffindor catch the snitch from her spot on top of the stands. It was a victory to Gryffindor! She cheered along with the rest of the crowd. She watched Remus leave the commentator's box, but what really interested her, was Peter Pettigrew running towards James and Sirius (both of which were being swarmed over by a large crowd).
******
Arena rolled her eyes. Gryffindor never lost a chance to show off. Looking over at Remus, she got an idea. Following Remus closely after the game, she waited until they both got onto the field. She extended her leg, and sure enough, Remus tripped over it. Arena smiled. She loved making other people miserable.
******
Sirius had just got to the Gryffindor tower when Peter caught up with him.
"What?" James asked.
"Girls ... want... Sirius ... in... Ravenclaw... Tower..." Peter panted.
"What for?" Sirius frowned.
"Meilin..." Peter fell over, panting hard.
"Now what?" Sirius grumbled, leaving the tower for the second time that day.
