Miranda, Lily and Gwen were heading to the
Gryffindor tower all lost in their own thoughts. Lily thought about her Defence
against the dark arts essay she had to finish for tomorrow, Gwen thought about
what colour paint would look good on her nails and Miranda was wondering how
she could stop boring herself.
'Where're
Steven and Frank?' asked Miranda suddenly.
'In the
library, working on their essay,' Gwen said absently.
'Ohh,'
Miranda said and there followed a silence.
'Who wants to play chess with me?' Miranda
asked when they entered the common room.
'No, I have
to paint my nails,' Gwen said and walked away.
'No, you
know that I hate chess,' groaned Lily.
'Ohh
please. Lil, come on,' Miranda asked with a pleading voice.
'No, I have
to finish my essay,' Lily said.
'What essay
are you talking about? Asked Miranda a bit irritated.
'The essay,
for defence,' Lily said.
'Ohh, I
forgot. What was the subject?' Miranda asked.
'What you
tell me you forgot, too?' Lily asked surprised.
'Yeah,
why?' Miranda asked grumpily.
'Professor
Wicklit gave everyone a different subject, and you were delighted about your
subject, because you knew a werewolf, you were talking about it for hours,
boring everyone dead' Lily repeated.
'I remember
it! I go and look how far I was with it,' Miranda said and ran upstairs to
their dormitory.
Lily
watched her friend running upstairs and sighted. Miranda was a pretty girl. She had blond hair in
contradiction of herself with her red hair. Miranda always forgot something or
she was to lazy to do something. She sighted. Her fried will never change.
She sat
down on a table, and began to work on her essay.
*
'Now, who's
it?' Peter asked almost exploding of curiosity.
James threw
Sirius a look.
'I'm not
going to tell you, If you knew you would steal my date,' James grinned.
'Why should
I,' Peter asked indignantly.
'Because
his date is so hot, everyone wants to go with him to the ball,' Sirius
responded.
'Him,' Remus
asked frowning his eyebrows.
'Did I say
him, I mean her,' said Sirius and let out a snort of laughter
'Oh c'mon tell
us,' Peter said Irritated.
'Yeah
c'mon,' Remus added.
'Well, he
goes with…..'
'AHHHHHHH,'
.KABOEM!!!!
The
chattering stopped and everyone sat bolt right in their chairs.
'W… what
was that,' stuttered Peter.
'I don't
know maybe…'said Sirius but he suddenly cut off.
Someone was
fallen of the stairs. He couldn't see who.
'No,' They
heard Lily scream.
'Who's it?'
James asked Sirius.
'Miranda,'
Sirius whispered.
Lily walked
to Miranda, and sat down next to her. Miranda was unconscious and had bruises
all over her face, and some bleeding cuts.
Everyone in
the common room tried to see how bad it was and soon there was a big circle
around the two girls.
'Please,
someone go to McGonagall,' Lily asked with a voice full of panic.
'I'll go,'
a boy said and he ran off.
'How could
this happen?' Have someone see how it happened?' Lily questioned.
'Maybe she
forgot the false step, you know how she's,' Said Gwen who had ran downstairs
when she heard the noise.
'WHO, who
saw something,' yelled Lily ignoring Gwen's option.
'Come on
Lil calm down,' Gwen said.
The
portrait swung open and Professor McGonagall stepped inside looking slightly
worried.
'What
happened,' she asked Lily.
'I don't
know she fell from the stairs, Nobody saw something or they don't wa…'
'Calm down
Miss Evans.'
Let's bring
her to Madame Pomfrey shall we?' and she took Miranda with her floating in mid
air.
'Mr Potter,
you're in charge.' 'If there's something. Go to Mr Potter,' she added to the
rest of the students.
McGonagall
walked out of the room. Lily and Gwen followed silently.
When they
were gone, chatting began and everyone had their own theory how it came that
she felt from the stairs.
'She fell
hard, the poor girl,' Remus said.
'Yeah I
hope it isn't that bad as it looks like,' Sirius said slightly worried.
Everyone
stared at him.
'Can you
repeat that,' James asked astonished.
'Yeah I
know we aren't really friends, but that doesn't mean that I wish her dead,
besides who must I nag now,' He added looking meaningful to Peter.
'Oh No,
don't you dare!' He shrieked.
'No, he's
right pick someone from your one Strength and not a weaker person, who can't
defend himself,' James said.
'Weaker? I'm not weaker,' Peter said indignantly
'Oh, No
Peter, you are a very strong person,' Sirius said, rubbing peter over his head.
'And I'm very
capable to defend myself!'
'No doubt
about that,' Remus said.
'Yeah, we
saw that when you had a fight with Snape,' grinned Sirius.
'That was
not my fault, he was just…..'
'Stronger?'
Asked James
'Ohh shut
up,' Peter said Irritated and he walked away.
'Yo Peter,'
Sirius yelled.
Peter
turned around expecting a apologise.
'McGonagall
told us, that when there's a problem you must come to James,' Sirius continued,
Ignoring Remus elbow.
'So is there
a problem?' continued James.
Peter said
nothing he walked away, very angry.
'I think
he's angry,' Remus said.
'Wow Moony,
do you think?' Sirius said sarcastically.
'I think we
must do nicer to him, he's different than we're, we see it as a joke, he as a
attack,' James said thoughtfully.
'Ohh, come
on, James, he has to learn it,' Sirius said.
'No Sirius,
James is right,' Remus said.
'All right,
all right, I'll do nicer to him,' Sirius
said with twinkling eyes.
'Oh Boy,'
groaned Remus and James in at the same time.
*
Lily and
Gwen sat both next to Miranda's bed, looking to their friend.
'How's it
with her?' They heard Dumbledore ask in a whisper to Madam Pomfrey.
'She's
still unconscious, they say she fell from the stairs,' said Madam Pomfrey.
'But when
you told me she's beaten up, I would believe you too' she continued.
Lily and
Gwen looked in shock at each other, and Lily shuddered.
'I hope she
wake up soon, than can we ask her what happened,' Dumbledore muttered.
'I think it
won't take long, you know how strong she's,' Pomfrey said.
'Yes I know
and that's why I can't believe she's beaten up, with her magic skills, not
many students can compete with her,
there are a few in Gryffindor and I know they wouldn't do it, and besides I
believe the Gryffindors when they say she fell from the stairs,' Dumbledore
replied.
'Has she
already woken up,' a third voice asked.
Lily
recognised it as Professor McGonagall's.
'No
Minerva, I'm afraid not, but we think it won't take long,' Dumbledore said.
'How's
everyone in the Gryffindor tower?' Madam Pomfrey asked.
'They are
fine, some of them are in shock, the strange thing is none of them saw how it
happened, they all think she stumble over the false step, it wouldn't be the first
time,' McGonagall replied.
Lily heard
the door open and footsteps came in.
'What're
you two doing here?' Lily heard McGonagall say.
'We heard
that Miranda fell from the stairs, so we came to look how it's with her,'
Steven said.
'No, Boy's
not now, she needs her rest,' Madam Pomfrey said.
'That's
right, and besides I told everyone not
to leave the Tower, I'll bring you back, come on,' Professor McGonagall said
stern.
'But..,'
Frank tried.
'No but Mr
Longbottom, you heard me come on,'.
Dumbledore
said something to Madam Pomfrey and Professor McGonagall, but Lily couldn't
hear what.
'But Albus,
you know…. ' Madam Pomfrey protested loudly.
'Oh Poppy,
why not? I think it's good when they see there friend.
' All
right, a few minutes not more,' Madam Pomfrey gave in.

Sirius,
Remus and James sat in the common room, it was very quiet, a lot of students
were already in bed, and a few were in the infirmary by a friend.
James and
Remus were playing chess and Sirius was watching them. Peter was still gone.
'How long
ago is it that we played a good joke on the teachers,' Asked Sirius with
twinkling eyes.
'Oh, No,' Moaned Remus. 'Not today!'
'Why not, I
have a beautiful plan,' said Sirius.
'What do
you had in mind?' James asked curious.
'I'll tell
you, but you have to promise me that you go with me,' Sirius grinned.
'I
promise,' James said.
At this
words was Remus knocking his head on the chess-board. Chess- pieces were flying
off the board.
He knew his
friends wouldn't let him rest before he agreed to go with them.
'I hear nothing,'
Sirius said to Remus.
'And we
keep it that way,' Remus said.
'Ahh, come
on Remi, without you it's no fun,' James said.
'All
right,' sighted Remus. He knew that further resistance was useless.
'I hear
nothing,' Sirius said.
'Don't push
it to far,' Remus warned his friend.
'So you
promise?' Sirius asked.
Remus only
nodded.
'All right,
come on we go I tell you my plan on the way, James get your invisibility
cloak,' Sirius ordered.
James ran
to their dormitory, while Remus and James walked to portrait hole.
'What's
that?' said Sirius suddenly when he spotted a little piece of parchment under a
table.
But he
didn't wait for an answer he dived under de table and grabbed it, It was a whole
essay instead of just a piece of parchment.
'What's
wrong?' asked Remus concerned when he saw that Sirius went white.
'Oh,
nothing,' Sirius said and tried to hide the paper, but Remus was to fast.
'How to
recognise werewolves and to tame them, by Miranda Shawcross' said the title.
'D..d..do
you think she knows?' stammered Remus.
'I don't
know,' Sirius said. 'Hope not, that could give problems.'
'What's
wrong,' asked James when he saw the worried faces of Remus and Sirius.
'This,'
said Sirius and handed James the essay, who read it.
'I don't
think she knows you're one, we find out later, too. And we were your best
friends, she don't know that you go away with the full moon, does she' James
said confidently.
'Do you
think?' Remus said.
'I'm pretty
sure,' James said.
'And when
she knows, at least she knows how to tame you moony,' grinned Sirius.
'You wild
beast,' added James.
'O shut
up,' Remus snapped.
'But what
do we do with the essay?' Asked Sirius.
'What
essay?' a voice came from their back.
They turned
around and there stood Lily. They were so busy with the essay that they hadn't
noticed that Lily, Frank, Steven and Gwen were back from the infirmary, Steven,
Frank and Gwen sat down, but Lily wanted to know were the three boy's were so
anxious over, It was her duty as a perfect to know what was going on in the
room.
She watched
them with narrowed eyes.
'Um.. this
essay lay under the table,' James said.
'And it's from
your friend,' Sirius added.
'I see and
why must I believe that you found this essay and not stole it,' Lily asked
suspicious.
'Because we
say so,' Said James
'And why
should I believe you,' she asked still with narrowed eyes.
'Why should
I steal an essay from HER! When I wanted an essay I would steal it from
somebody else and besides I hate werewolves,' James said irritated.
'Good one,
Prongs!' muttered Sirius under his breath, so that Lily couldn't hear it.
'So maybe
you want to give it back,' said Remus and
started walking to the door.
'Yes, 'Lily
said and riffled through the essay.
'Where are
you going to?' she asked suspicious when she saw that the three boy's were
walking to the portrait hole.
'Nowhere,
why,' asked James with an innocent face.
'Because
you are walking to the door and you now we may not leave, you should know that
as a prefect,' Lily snapped.
'Ohh but we
aren't going away,' said Remus.
'What are
you doing than here,' Lily said.
'Ohh,
nothing,' Sirius said casually leaning against the door.
'This is
just a great place to be,' he added
But
unfortunate the door swung open smashing Sirius against the wall.
'Auwwh,'
yelled Sirius.
Peter
stepped into the common room, and had a terrified expression when he heard a
scream from behind the door.
The rest of
the group was laughing, including Lily.
'W..Who…a
..ehm… Wha…What is that,' hesitated
Peter.
'S…S….Si…SIRIUS,'
James hiccupped from the laugh.
'Which
idiot goes to stand there,' Lily laughed.
'See you,
this is a great place to be,' Remus laughed
'Wormtail
you idiot couldn't you knock or something,' Sirius said, rubbing his face.
'No, why of
all places are you going to stand here?' respond Peter.
'Wormtail?'
Lily asked curious. 'Why are you calling him wormtail? What a stupid name!' Lily
laughed.
'We call
him Wormtail, because he have some looks of a rat, ,' Sirius tried to save the
situation, but he only makes worse.
'No, you
know why you call me Wormtail, because I'm a..Auwh,' He cut of because James
stood on his foot.
'Why are
you standing on my foot!'
'Ohh, did
I? I'm sorry.'
'Wormtail,
what a stupid name, I always thought you were insane, but now I know that that
was an understatement. Wormtail, Phhh, I have to tell this to Frank,' she
laughed hard and walked away.
'Stupid
git,' James said to Sirius.
'I'm sorry,
I wasn't thinking,' Sirius apologised himself.
'She isn't
looking now. Let's go,' Remus said.
'Are you
coming Wormtail, or stay you here,' asked Sirius.
'Where are
we going to?' asked Peter.
'No time to
explain, are you coming or not?' James said.
Peter
hesitated, but decided to go with them.
They walked
very slowly through the corridor under the invisibility cloak.
'Do you
really think I have looks of a rat,' Peter asked Sirius.
'Of course
not Petie, you know I only said that, to save our skin, you're very pretty, no rat
looks by far, 'said Sirius.
Peter
watched Sirius in amazement.
'You know I
love you, you are my best friend,' continued Sirius, taking Peter in a big hug.
James and
Remus tried to stifle their laughs.
'Si…sirius..let..me…g…g…go,'
gasped Peter.
'Sirius let
him go,' said Remus.
'Why? You
told me that I have to be nice to him,' Sirius said.
'Why are
you always overdoing things,' sighted James.
They were
so busy that they hadn't noticed that the cloak was fallen off and that they
were talking to loud.
This caught
McGonagall's attention, when she walked through the corridors.
'WHAT ARE
YOU DOING HERE IN THIS TIME OF THE NIGHT!' she yelled.
Sirius
opened his mouth to point out that it wasn't night yet, but he decided that it
was better when he said nothing, judging from the expression off McGonagall's
face.
'You are
unbelievable, how many times aren't you caught?' This wasn't really a question.
'And you as
a prefect, I still wonder why we made you one,'
The four
boy's said nothing, they only tried to look so innocent as possible and hope that
they get a mild punishment.
Yes I
know that some questions aren't answered, but it ruins the story when I tell
everything so soon. So please be patient and keep reading this..
AND
PLEASE REVIEW! So I know of I should write more or flush this story down the
toilet! THANK YOU!!
