Ilovedifferentmixups: Thank you!
GeekMom13: I agree! I wanted Lily and James to be on bad terms, but as they have love for each other miraculously since first year-that actually makes no sense to me. So I have made Lily differently.
Monnbeam: Thank you! I say that she is keeping the truth because she is scared. We have already seen Voldemort once. God knows from where information leak again!
Chapter 14-The Lives
"Oye Granger-Prewett!"
Hermione groaned. Dropping the fork on her plate, she turned to look at a grinning Sirius.
"What do you want Black?" Hermione asked in a monotone. Marlene giggled and turned to look at Sirius dreamily. Lily, who was sitting with the two girls, rolled her eyes and turned her attention to the morning paper.
"Oh, Granger-Prewett!" Sirius dramatically held his chest and pretended to faint, "Is that how you are going to treat your future brother-in-law?"
Remus, who was sitting a few seats away, spit out his food and looked at Sirius with widened shocked eyes. James and Peter began laughing helplessly, joined by Marlene and a small grin by Lily. Hermione narrowed her eyes and tried to look angry, but even she could not stop the tingling sensation in her cheeks.
"Shut up!" she hissed. James wiped away a tear as Remus tried to hide his head into his hands.
"Oh come on!" Sirius said, jumping off his seat and walking up to Hermione. "The whole school knows that THE GRYFFINDOR CHASER AND THE COMMENTATOR ARE DATING!"
Heads whipped around to see what the commotion at the Gryffindor table was all about. Teachers looked up form their breakfast to see what the notorious Sirius Black had done this time.
"Great!" Hermione hissed, "The people who didn't know now probably know it."
"Are you ashamed of our dear Wolfy?" Sirius asked in a whisper.
Hermione sat up and shook her head. "Of course not!"
"Then?"
Hermione groaned. "What do you want Black?"
Sirius jumped onto the table, right across Marlene. He sent a wink in her direction which she managed to ignore with a mighty look. She might like his abs, but that didn't mean she was one of his adventures.
"You have more brains than Remus." Sirius said, "All of us agree to that. So drop by our dorm room tonight. James has to give you stuff and we have some planning to do."
Hermione suspiciously looked at Sirius. But he jumped off and left before she could question him.
Once he was gone and laughing at Remus' embarrassment, Marlene turned to look at Hermione with a confused expression. "What was he talking about?"
"I'll tell you later." Said Hermione and went back to her food.
Hermione had been to the Marauders room before. But last time, she had a mission. This time however…
"What in the name of Merlin do you do here?" she asked, pressing her nose tightly. The place smelled like firewhisky, decaying corpses, chocolates and underwear.
"Why, we live here!" Sirius remarked, jumping out of his bed.
"You are a pig!" Hermione said, waving her wand and finally breathing as the smell vanished.
"EWWW!"
Hermione turned to see Peter coming out of the washroom, looking at his dorm with sadness. "What happened to our dorm?"
"This woman!" Sirius said, pointing at Hermione with a shaking finger, "This evil, foul woman cleaned-yes, CLEANED our dorm using a bloody spell!"
Peter shrieked in horror. "How could you Hermione!"
Hermione rolled her eyes. The door flung open behind her and the two other marauders sniffed the room.
"What in the name of Gryffindor happen here?" James asked, sniffing like a dog. "Are you bringing another girl here Siri? Or was I supposed to bring a date? Shit did I forget another date!"
"No!" Sirius said, still pointing at Hermione. "This girl cleaned our dorm with a spell!"
"You did?" Remus asked excitedly. "I have been trying to do that for days!"
"Traitor!" Three voices said together. James turned to Hermione and said, "Prewett, stop crossing the line!"
"Stop harassing my girlfriend!"
There was a moment of silence as Remus blushed and Hermione looked away from any prying eyes. James, Peter and Sirius grinned and Sirius and Peter began making kissing noises.
"Girlfriend?" James slowly turned his head towards the werewolf.
"Shut up!" Remus hissed, blushing harder.
"All right James." Hermione said, turning around and facing him. "What do you want?"
"Details, on how you two got together!" James said with a love sick eyes.
Hermione stared at him with a bored expression till he broke.
"All right, I called you here for two reasons. First," James walked up to his trunk and took out the Invisibility cloak. "To give you this."
Hermione excitedly held the cloak. She had now lost count how many times she had disappeared under the very same cloak, but now, it was a younger, better cloak.
"Now there are a few rules to use with this piece of art." James said, looking at Hermione as if giving a lecture. "It is a family heirloom, which I am assuming you already know."
Hermione nodded.
"So, no matter how much I trust you and whether you are our wolf's girlfriend or not," Remus growled which James ignored, "You need to take somebody with you when you are going to this adventure of yours. And Remus is your boyfriend, I have a date everyday which I am likely to forget and Peter is well, busy. So you will be accompanied by none other than our handsome Sirius."
"NO!"
"O, don't resist yourself!" Sirius said, jumping in front of Hermione. "I know I am utterly irresistible. I am pretty sure Remy here won't mind."
"I am not one of your adventures Black!" Hermione sneered. "And the day I sleep with you will be the day when I have no body to turn to."
"Ah, don't make it so hard on yourself!"
Remus took a step towards Sirius which made him immediately back down. James cleared his throat and looked at Hermione with a business like expression.
"Second, we need your help."
Hermione looked up with a raised eyebrow and asked, "What help?"
The four marauders exchanged a glance and looked depressed.
"We need your help in a prank." Peter offered feebly.
"What? No!"
"PLEASE!"
"NO!"
"Please and we will help you in whatever you need."
Hermione opened her mouth to argue but saw four heartbroken faces, one of one which now happened to be her boyfriend-yes, her boyfriend!
"FINE!" she groaned.
Hermione smiled as various Slytherins dropped down in front of her. Lily was the only one who refused to play tired.
"Is this your way of humiliating us?" asked Gayle with a sneer.
"This is my way to train you." Hermione offered. "You all have learnt dueling among yourselves. If you want my protection, you need to be fit. And that's exactly what I am doing. I ran with you as well in case you did not noticed."
"They have Potions for that you know." Severus pointed out and then began breathing heavily.
"I prefer to be in touch with both my muggle and wizard side." Hermione said, panting herself.
Once everybody stood up, Hermione checked her muggle watch and said, "All right everyone! No meeting on Saturday.
"We can come here to practice?" Young Darcy asked.
"No!"Hermione said and everybody, except Lily, wondered why so.
As they began walking out, Regulus walked up to Hermione and smirked. "Get ready to lose this match Prewett."
Hermione narrowed her eyes at him. In the same playful banter, she said, "We'll see Black."
"So why exactly are you pacing in front of a-oh, okay! WOW!"
Hermione smiled as the door materialize in front of her. She turned to see a stunned Remus behind her. Taking him by his hand, she smiled. "Come on!"
They stood there, in an open hall. The moonlight lit up the trees around them and they illuminated with fairy lights. A small table was set in the middle, with two chairs and empty plates. Hermione pulled Remus along with him and sat down.
"How in the name of Godric did you manage to do this?" Remus asked, looking around.
"I didn't do much." Hermione said happily. "This is called the Come and Go room. It changes into anything that you need."
"Wow!" Remus breathed. He looked around and smiled. "So can it turn into a safe place for me on Full Moons?"
"Probably." Hermione said. It was possible. Why hadn't she thought of this before?
"Really?" Remus asked, open mouthed, "I was just joking."
"But Remus you are right!"
The two sat in silence for a while, each in their own thought. Finally, Hermione jerked her head and said, "Tell me what you would like."
Remus pretended to think and said, "Waffles."
Hermione laughed and waffles materialized on his plate.
"Whoa! You can't create food out of thin air! That's against the laws!"
"Calm down Remus." Hermione said, shaking her head, "It works the way things work in the Great Hall."
"Oh!" Remus ran his hand through his hair and blushed. "Let's eat shall we?"
Hermione nodded and the two dug into their food.
