THE MARAUDERS
CREATE
HAVOC AGAIN
Chapter 2
On The
Hogwarts Express
"Bye Mom! Bye
Dad! I'll send you some Hogwarts toilet paper!" James yelled.
"Yeah, and
Mom, you'll be expecting a strand of Dumbledore's hair to make soup," Sirius
yelled louder than James, causing everyone to look at him.
"Sirius
Black! Don't you dare!" Mrs. Black shouted back.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Remus was
sitting in the last compartment, staring out of the window. Then, the door
burst open, it was on fire! Acting on instinct, he put out the fire with some
water from his wand.
"Gee...thanks,
fellow," A tall kid with messy, jet-black hair emerged from the smoking door.
His eyes were blue and had a twinkle to it.
"Reparo,"
Remus heard another voice say. Another kid stepped out beside the boy. He had
repaired the door.
"Hiya, we
were, er...just trying out some of these HUGE fire-starters when we, uh lost
control and the door burst into flames," the boy who repaired the door said.
"James
Potter, and you are..." The first boy asked.
"Remus Lupin,
pleased to meet you both," Remus said uncertainly.
James nudged
the other boy in the ribs (seemed to be searching for something in his pocket.
"Oof! What?"
he glared at James who gestured at Remus. "Oh, yeah, Sirius Black, pleased to
chop your head of if you get into Slytherin," Sirius pretended to growl
menacingly but broke into a grin when he saw Remus' shocked face.
"Hey, d'you
like Quidditch? Which house d'ya wanna be in? Like playing pranks? Like..."
James asked.
Soon, they
became good friends and realized that Remus loved pranks as much as they did,
but was not as enthusiastic. In the middle of an animated conversation about
how they enchanted Mr. Potter and Mr. Black's robes to smell like Dungbombs,
Lily Evans poked her head in to find herself in the midst of three gorgeous
boys.
"Hello, miss,
and may I know why have you come to interrupt our private talk?" Sirius raised
an eyebrow at her.
" Sirius,
don't," James said warningly for Lily's pale and frightened face was too much
for him. "Hello, sweet, I'm James, James Potter. No one is allowed to call me
Jamsie, darling, sweetie, Jamie or—"
Remus nudged
James out of the way. "Don't mind him, I'm Remus Lupin and that was Sirius
Black. What I know your name?" Remus asked charmingly.
"Lily Evans,"
Lily said shyly. She kind of liked Remus for he was the most polite of them
all, but Sirius and James were okay, though a bit mental.
"Great! The
world needs more havoc! Wanna join us, The Magical Mischief Makers Of Hogwarts?
It's a rare honor to join our gang, ya know?" James said enthusiastically.
"Er… okay,"
Lily muttered.
"Good! May I
present Miss. Lily Evans! Fourth member of the Magical Mischief Makers Of
Hogwarts! Tall, pretty, red-head, green-eyed…" Sirius announced.
"Hey, I reckon
we could call ourselves the Marauders instead of The Magical Mischief Makers Of
Hogwarts. It'll be really save us a lot of saliva," Remus grinned.
"But 'The
Magical Mischief Makers Of Hogwarts' sounds nicer," Sirius pleaded.
"No it
doesn't"
"Yes it does"
"No it
doesn't"
"Yes it does"
"Sirius,
Remus's right. The Marauders sounds better," James said.
"Hey! Two
against one! It's not fair!" Sirius yelled.
"Yes, it is,"
James and Remus chorused.
"Great, more
training and you can perform in a barber shop quartet," Sirius scowled.
"What does
'Mudblood' mean?" Lily interjected, voicing her queries and at the same time,
trying to break the argument up.
It worked.
All three boys stared at her as though she had just uttered a disgusting swear
word.
"Lily! Where
did you hear that? I thought you are a Muggle-born?" James asked.
"What's a
muggle?" Lily replied.
"A muggle is
a person who is not a witch or wizard. And a Mudblood, it means, you tell her,
Sirius," Remus looked uncomfortable.
"Huh? 'You
tell her, Sirius?" Lily was feigning confusion in an effort to make them laugh.
Sirius
managed a weak grin and said, "Lily, where did you learn this from?"
"I heard a
boy with greasy hair call me that. He saw my parents kiss me goodbye and teased
me about it," Lily stared at their serious faces.
"Severus
Snape!!! That jerk! Why, 'Mudblood' is the most disgusting insult anyone could
tell a muggle-born wizard. It's something really foul," Sirius exclaimed. Then,
he broke into a devilish grin.
"I know what
you're thinking of, Sirius," James grinned back.
"Shall we do
it? It'll be so cool!" Remus said.
"Yeah!" Lily
exclaimed.
"Shhh… Quiet,
you guys! Okay, here's the plan. We'll throw some stink pellets in, and then
Lily, you go in and call Snape every nasty word you can think of. When he tries
to hurt you, Sirius, Remus and I will enter, throwing water bombs at him,"
James explained, glaring at Sirius who was sniggering.
"What's that
smell?" Severus growled.
"Like I know,
go check it out," Lucius spat. Severus scowled. He hated to be ordered around
but defying Lucius was as safe as plucking out a dragon's teeth. Before he
could reach the door, it slid open and Lily came walking in. Her bright green
eyes were flashing.
"Freaking
toad, think I'll be scared of you, eh? Well, bastard, even if I'm a muggle,
don't think you can call me 'Mudblood'. I'll show you when we get to Hogwarts,
I'll be better than you," Lily advanced on him, menacingly.
"Mudblood,
you think you're so smart?" Severus sneered, grabbing Lily's hand and twisting
it.
"F*ck your
mother, jerk," Lily said in a deadly whisper.
"Shut up!"
Snape yelled and was about to curse Lily.
Right on cue,
the door came crashing down. Lucius looked up to see a dozen water bombs aimed
at him and Severus.
"Bull's-eye!"
Sirius said gleefully. Remus and James were laughing at the dripping-wet Snape
and Lucius.
"Hello,
Severus. Thought you would like a bath!" Remus said with mock- politeness.
" No, it
won't make any difference even if we threw some Dungbombs, he smells the same,"
Sirius' voice was insultingly smug.
"Tell me,
Severus, when was the last time you washed your hair? Or were you born
greasy-haired? Perhaps it is inherited," James smiled mockingly.
Lucius Malfoy pointed his wand at James and
was about to utter a curse when Remus dived in front of James, catching
full-blast of the curse. He was slammed into the wall of the compartment with
such speed that blood begin to trickle down his forehead.
Sirius and
James gave a yell before running over to check on Remus. Blind with anger,
Sirius and James shot curses to every corner of the compartment but
unfortunately, none of them hit their targets.
Sneering,
Severus pointed his wand at Sirius and signaled for them to get out.
On their way
back to their compartment, Sirius was calling Snape and Malfoy every dirty name
he could think of.
"Sirius,
would you mind not dragging me on the floor? My back aches," Remus groaned.
"Remus! Are
you okay?" James and Lily said.
Putting him
in an upright position, James said, "Remus, you're the silliest kid I've ever
met, apart from Sirius but why the hell did you wanna protect me from Malfoy's
curse. You're my friend, Remus, I don't want you to ever get hurt because of
me."
"'S okay, I'm
alright now." Remus stumbled and collapsed heavily on Sirius.
"Woah!"
Sirius tripped over something cowering on the ground in their compartment.
Remus, who was leaning on Sirius fell too. " Are you crazy? What on earth are
you doing crouching on the ground, right in front of the door?" Sirius growled.
"S-sorry,"
the boy whimpered, trembling from head to toe.
" It's okay.
Lily Evans. This is James and that's Sirius and Remus. What's your name?"
"P-peter
Pettigrew," he squeaked.
From then on,
Peter joined the Marauders, or rather the Magical Mischief Makers Of Hogwarts.
