Ch.3: Chaos In The Leaky Cauldron.
After everyone had been introduced and Bella and Peter had pulled up chairs, they started talking about their families. (AN: Does every author have them talk bout their families? Oh well.)
"I'm muggle-born," said Lily," but my aunt is a witch and she brought me here to get my stuff."
Then, almost if on cue, Lily's aunt came walking over towards the group.
"Lily dear, we need to get you settled in at The Leaky Cauldron," she said.
"You're staying at the Leaky Cauldron?" asked James.
"Yeah," said Lily.
"So are we!" said Alex, James and Sirius.
"Cool!" said Lily.
The four 11 year olds said good-bye to Remus, Kat, Bella, and Peter, and walked with Lily's aunt back to the Leaky Cauldron.
"Aunt Laura, why didn't you tell me about Quidditch before?" asked Lily.
"Lily, you know how I feel about sports, I hate them. Quidditch is dangerous!" exclaimed Aunt Laura.
James shook his head. "What a shame." "Aunt Laura what is our room number?" asked Lily.
"Your room number is 18. I'm going home. Your mother said you could stay by yourself."
"Ok," said Lily, trying not to sound too excited. "James, Sirius, Alex, I'll meet you downstairs in a little while."
Lily walked up the stairs and quickly found room 18. She went in and looked around. It was a fairly simple room with a double bed, a large mirror on one wall and a small tv. Lily threw her stuff in the closet and collapsed on her bed, tired after a long day of shopping. She turned on the radio and found a country station. Lily loved country music. She had liked it since she was three and knew just about every song on the radio word for word. She lay on her bed and sung along until her aunt came in. Well, Lily didn't actually see her aunt come in. That is until she spoke up.
"You have a very nice voice dear," said Aunt Laura.
Lily blushed and muttered something her aunt couldn't hear.
"I have to leave now, ok?"
"Ok, bye," said Lily. She finished unpacking and started singing again. Then someone else came in unnoticed. It was Alex.
"Is this muggle music?" asked Alex.
"Yep," replied Lily.
Alex sat down on Lily's bed and started trying to figure out the words. Then a voice came from nowhere.
"Thought you would have a party without us, huh?" said the voice.
There was no one except Lily and Alex in the room. Lily whirled around, trying to find the source of the voice, but Alex just laughed. She walked over the the door and pulled a silvery cloak out of thin air, revealing Sirius and James.
"Lily, may I introduce me and James's invisibility cloak?" said Alex, grinning.
What kind of music is that?" asked James, curiously.
"Is it muggle music?" Sirius added.
"Yep , country music," said Lily.
"Cool," replied James.
"Alright people," started Sirius as if he were leading a pep rally. "There is no way we are going to let this place have peace and quiet for THREE WHOLE DAYS, not while we're here."
"So basically you're saying we need a plan of attack," James commented with a mischievous smile.
"A blue-print for disaster," suggested Alex, with a grin that mirrored the one on James's face.
"A layout for chaos," added Lily, smiling happily.
Sirius grinned as well, making them look like four
Cheshire cats. "A Marauder's map."
James turned his head to stare at Sirius. "I like that. Marauders."
"A new name is in need anyway," Alex pointed out.
"We can't be the Trio of Trouble anymore, as we aren't a trio any longer," said Sirius.
"I think the Marauders is a perfect name," replied Lily.
"Alright it's agreed."
"Marauders for life," said Alex.
"And friends always," continued James.
"Forever," added Sirius.
"Forever and ever after," finished Lily.
"Agreed," they all said in unison.
"Our parents are letting us stay here by ourselves too," said Sirius.
"I don't think they realized what they were doing at the time," said James.
"My aunt doesn't me to well or she wouldn't have let me stay either," replied Lily.
"Alright, how about we set off a round of Dungbombs in the kitchen to cause a distraction. Then we charm the food to turn into frogs when placed on a fork," Alex said.
"Good plan Lex, except for one thing," Sirius pointed out.
"What's that?" asked Alex, looking confused.
"We don't have any Dungbombs," muttered sheepishly.
"WHAT!!??!!?? You guys were supposed to stock up when you were at Zonko's!" roared Alex, "We can't go to Hogwarts without them!"
"Relax, Lexy. We have three days to get some," James tried to calm his twin down.
"That's point. You were supposed to get them today. Zonko's is closed now, so we can't proceed with the plan, Alex grumbled furiously.
"We have a reason," Sirius stated confidently.
"Start talking."
"Well, we met Lily in Zonko's." James started.
Look you guys I know Lily's pretty, but that's no reason to completely forget about the Dungbombs," teased Alex smirking. Lily laughed.
"You know that's not what I meant Lex. Me and Sirius went into Zonko's and saw Lily standing next to the Dungbomb display. We went over there to her and." James continued.
"So you were right there and you still didn't get any?!" interrupted Alex once again.
Alexandra Tara Potter! Would you shut-up enough long enough to let me finish?!" said James, exasperatedly.
"Sorry," said Alex grinning.
"So anyway, as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, we went over to Lily and I guess we startled her, because she dropped the dungbombs she was holding and it exploded all over us. We started laughing really hard and the manager kicked us out," James finally finished.
"Oh," replied Alex.
"Your middle name is Tara?" asked Lily.
"Yeah."
"While we're on the subject, what are your middle names?" asked Lily, turning to James and Sirius.
"Matthew," grumbled James unhappily.
"Orion," replied Sirius, grinning as usual. "Whats yours?" he asked Lily.
"Alexandra."
"Oh cool, same as my first name," said Alex, "but getting back to the original subject, what about the prank?"
"I have some firecrackers," suggested Lily. "Perfect," said Alex, "Alright Lily, you and me will set off everything. When James and Sirius hear everything go off, they'll sneak into he kitchen and charm the food. Then we slip out hopefully unnoticed and enjoy the aftermath of our creativity."
"Except that we might want to eat our dinner first," Lily pointed out.
"Good idea."
Lily, James, Sirius, and Alex all left Lily's room and went downstairs to eat. They sat down and ordered dinner.
"You know, it's sort of weird, I have already sworn to be friends with you guys forever, but I really don't know much about you," commented Lily.
"Ok," James agreed, "We'll give you our life story." "First of all, me and James were born on June 26th and Sirius was born the day after us," started Alex.
"So you could say we have been friends since birth," said Sirius.
We met up in the hospital when the nurse picked up Sirius. He bit her and she accidentally dropped him in our crib," said Alex.
"We say he landed on his head which is why he can be totally insane," said James. Lily snickered.
"Anyway, the nurse ran out screaming cause she was bleeding and." continued Alex.
"Wait a minute, how could Sirius bite her, he didn't have any teeth?" asked Lily.
"We never really figured that out," said James, "Maybe he had really hard gums. So the nurse left Sirius with us. Our parents said they found us laying there giggling. They had a hard time figuring out who was James and who Sirius was. They had to do some sort of DNA spell to figure it out. While all this was happening, our parents realized we lived next door to each other. Our parents got to be friends and the three of us were inseparable. We have terrorized our town and parents so much that just about everyone is glad we are going to Hogwarts," finished James.
"Lily we'll have to get your life story later cause if we wait much longer, everyone will have finished dinner," said Sirius.
"Alright," said Alex, "Lets go."
Lily ran upstairs and got her firecrackers from her room. She and Alex got under the invisibility cloak, and in a small corner of the room downstairs, lit the firecrackers. They hurried out of the room into the hallway.
BOOM!!!!!!!! The firecrackers went off. Several people in the pub screamed. Lily saw James and Sirius dart into the kitchen as the cook ran out to see what was going on. A second later they snuck out and walked over to where the girls were standing. The four of them hid the cloak behind a statue and "casually" strolled into the pub. They sat down at a table pretending to just be talking. Then someone screamed and then someone else. Pretty soon everyone but four "innocent kids" was screaming. Those four "innocent kids" had collapsed to the floor in fits of hysterical laughter. There were frogs hoping around everywhere.
"LILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" screamed a voice.
"ALEX! JAMES!!!!!" roared another.
"SIRIUS!!!!!!!!!" bellowed a third.
The newly christened Marauders turned around and gasped.
AN: I know that sucked, but I have pretty much lost interest in this story. I'm only uploading this part because it was already written. I'm sorry if anyone actually liked this and wanted me to continue, cause I probably won't. If you really want me to review and tell me and I'll consider it.
