THE
MARAUDERS
CREATE
HAVOC
AGAIN
Chapter 1
Beginning of a New Era
James @ home
"James
Potter! For the 5th time in the week! Do not leave your water bombs
all over the floor," Mrs. Potter shouted.
"James
and his best friend, Sirius skidded into the room. They burst into peals of laughter
when they saw Mrs. Potter and Mrs. Black all drenched.
"What
did I do, mom?" James said, trying hard to control his laughter while giving
his mom his well-known innocent look. Meanwhile, Sirius was on the floor,
roaring with laughter while clutching a stitch.
Sirius Black, what did you think you were
doing----leaving water bombs all over the floor? I'm gonna ground you all
right. No going out, no more visiting joke shops..." Mrs. Black hauled Sirius
out the front door.
Remus and his twin
"
You f*cking werewolf! I'll bet you'll never be accepted into Hogwarts! You made
me lose all my friends. Nobody wants a friend whose brother is a werewolf!"
Remolius Lupin shouted angrily at his twin, Remus.
Remus
just kept quiet, accepting the cuffs from his brother. "I deserve it. If I
hadn't got the bite, I wouldn't be in this state now." Remus thought glumly as
he stared at the floor.
One
particularly forceful kick in the stomach sent Remus winding. He was sprawled
on the floor, motionless. Too tired to move (from the last transformation), he
just lay there.
"Remolius
Lupin! What exactly do you think you are doing?" Christine Lupin said with her
hand on her hips and her eyes narrowed.
Remolius
(I'll just call him Remo) scowled. "Mom...he... he made me lose all my friends
and no one likes me any more. He deserves it. It's all his fault!" Remo said,
almost in tears.
Remo's
last words seem to echo in Remus' mind. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore.
He ran out of the house slamming the room door.
@ Lily's
"Freak!
Freak! She's not my sister! My sister is dead! All I see is a freak standing in
front of me! Give me back my sister!" Petunia Evans was shrieking at the top of
her lungs.
"Petunia,
calm down, darling. Lily is your sister and she isn't going to hurt you," Alex
Evans spoke softly in an effort to calm his daughter.
"Tunia,
I'm Lily. See..." Lily said in a barely audible voice.
"No! No! No! You're an imposter! No sister
of mine is a witch! Dad! She's evil! She'll kill me!" Petunia screamed. She
grabbed Lily by the scruff of her pajamas and started shaking her like a rag
doll, muttering, "kill her".
Alex
pulled Lily away while trying to restrain Petunia.
In
her room, Lily was sobbing uncontrollably. "Lily dear, are you all right? I'm
sorry darling; Petunia was so rough with you. Usually you girls were on such
good terms, I didn't think..." Jessica Evans said.
Lily
was startled. She didn't realize that her mom was in her room. "Oh Mom, you
don't have to apologize for Petunia. I'm okay. It wasn't anyone's fault. B-bbut
I've already decided to go, there's no turning back now, is there?"
"Listen
to me, Lily, when I went to Hogwarts, I made many friends and was very happy.
Don't care what Petunia says, honey, remember, you'll always have Mom and Dad.
Goodnight, sweetie," Jessica Evans said in a firm tone.
"Night,
Mom," Lily kissed her mom on the cheek. "Perhaps Mom was right. I should try to
make new friends in my school and forget about my miserable live here.." Lily
said to herself as she lapsed into sweet slumber.
Peter's (yuck!) home
Peter
Pettigrew was sitting on a couch in front of the television. His jaws were busy
working on a chicken wing. "Ow!!!" He yelled as something hit his head.
"My
poor darling! Something's hit your precious head? What is it?" Andrea Pettigrew
simpered as she came out of the kitchen.
"Wow,
Mom! I got in!" Peter exclaimed.
"Got
into what?" Andrea asked.
"Hogwarts,
Mom, Hogwarts!" Peter shouted, waving his chubby hands that knocked down a
vase.
"My
darling! My handsome and smart darling! Give me a kiss, dear. My, this calls
for a celebration! I'll bring you to your father's grave and you can tell him
this great piece of news!" Andrea said, her voice throbbing with emotion.
Back at James'
"Arghhhh!!!
Hames Hotter, Herius Rack!" The four adults shouted simultaneously, spraying
their chewed up rice on the two boys rolling on the floor.
"Who...who
is Hames Hotter and Herius Rack.." Sirius said, roaring with laughter.
"Sirius
Black! You know very well what you did!" Mrs. Black yelled.
"Honestly,
I've experienced eating beetles before but spiders...YOU BOYS ARE ATROCIOUS!"
Edward Potter tried to say in a calm voice but he ended up shouting.
Mrs.
Potter looked furious as well. She was about to start one of her famous
lectures but there was a tapping sound coming from the window. Mrs. Potter
unlatched the window and a handsome, tawny owl flew in. It dropped two letters
into the spider-infested soup and took of into the night. Everyone looked
surprised.
Then,
Ralph Black fished out the letters from the soup and handed them to James and
Sirius. Both of them looked down at the letter to find their names written on
it.
"Go
ahead, open it," Mrs. Potter whispered. They all(except James and Sirius)
expected it to be the letter from Hogwarts. James and Sirius looked at each
other and nodded. They slit open the letter as all the grown-ups watched with
bated breath.
Then,
the shouts of two women filled the air. One was Mrs. Black shouting at Sirius
and the other was Mr. Potter performing one of her lectures about leaving
Dungbombs all over the place. For a split second, the adults looked angry.
Then, their anger too dissolved into laughter. Watching the two boys wheezing
with laughter, all of them realized how remarkably similar they were. Both were
tall and thin with messy black hair and blue eyes. They had the ability to turn
normal occasions into merry parties. Gasping for breath, James and Sirius
handed their Hogwarts letter (which they hid earlier on) to their parents.
Pulling her son into a hug, Mrs. Black was simply astounded that Hogwarts would
want troublemakers like James and Sirius. Meanwhile, James was kissed
repeatedly by his mom.
"Yew,
Mom! You can save your kisses for Dad!" James said, wiping his saliva-wet face
on his sleeve.
Mrs.
Black finally let go of Sirius whose ribs almost shattered. "Ow...Mom, I just
realized that you're strong enough to mow the lawn manually," Sirius moaned,
rubbing his ribs.
Remus and Dumbledore
Wiping
tears from his eyes with the back of his hand, Remus looked up. He had been
sitting on top of the hill beside his house. Then when he remembered Remo's
cruel words, he started sobbing again.
"Nobody
likes me, everyone hates me, I think I'll go eat worms..."Remus heard someone
singing. When he looked up, he got the shock of his life. It was Albus
Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts, his dream school!
"Mr.
Lupin, congratulations!" Dumbledore said cheerfully, giving Remus his letter.
"T-thank
you, sir," Remus stuttered. He had been hoping and hoping for this day to come.
Even though he knew that accepting a werewolf into a school was highly
impossible, Remus hoped.
"Mr.
Lupin, you were not really thinking of eating worms, were you?" Dumbledore
winked at Remus. "First, I must tell you the safety measures we're imposing. I
have given instructions for a big tree to be planted in the grounds. This tree
has a passageway leading to a shack in which you will transform. Another thing
is, the tree we've planted for you is called the Whomping Willow. It will
strike anyone who attempts to go near it. The only way to get past it is to
touch the knot on the tree and it'll become still. Do you understand, Mr.
Lupin?"
"Yes,
sir," Remus said. He suddenly remembered that if he was going to Hogwarts, Remo
would most probably be going too. "Great, all I need is for Remo to give away
my secret," Remus muttered, forgetting that Dumbledore was still there.
"Mr.
Lupin, you look very upset. Mind if I do a Cheering Charm on you?" Dumbledore
said with a small smile.
"'Kay,"
Remus said uncertainly.
A
minutes later, Remus burst into his house to find his parents and brother
waiting for him anxiously. Remus was grinning when he handed the letter of
acceptance to his father. Mrs. Lupin was crying with happiness and Mr. Lupin
patted Remus on his back saying how proud he was of him.
"Congratulations,
I got my letter too. We'll be going to Diagon Alley together tomorrow," Remo
said unwillingly. Remus gave his brother a huge hug and a lop-sided grin(the
effects of the Cheering Charm had not worn off yet) before going to bed, his
heart filled with such happiness that even the most cutting remarks would not
affect him.
~* THE END (FOR NOW)*~
A/N: hello everyone! Please review and tell me if
you like my story. All flames will be presented to Wormtail (honestly, I think
he's worst than Voldemort) , Betraying James and framing Sirius(he rawks!).
Sorry for the use of vulgar language also, I couldn't think of a better word to
put there. Anyway, I'll be looking forward to seeing your opinions.
