There Is No Such Thing As Fate

Chapter Eight: The Girls Spying and the Boys Almost Dieing

The girls crashed into the sofas in front of the fire in the common room. Lily couldn't stop smiling. The same for Kate and Jane.

Minutes later the Marauders went in looking for their favorite girls. "Why, lil lily!!! You never told me you had such a talent!!!" Sirius's voice was heard all over the common room. (A/N I took out the capital letter in Lily's name since it creates a name of a certain faithful reviewer... ;))

Lily blushed to her roots. Sirius jumped on Kate. "And lil Kate! You never told me you had such a talent! I think you'll be a better commenter then a beater!" As a reply she pushed him to the floor.

They all laughed and the three other boys sat near the girls. The chatted for a while, joking around. "Gosh! Look at the time!" Sirius made a jump.

"It's only 8:00 Sirius." Jane said puzzled.

"Exactly! We should have been in bed long ago!!!" James got up and gave both Remus and Peter a hard look.

"When do you guys go to bed on 8:00?" Lily asked.

"Since now!" Remus declared and the boys marched up to their dorms biding the girls good night.

"Odd." Lily said and shook her head when they were out of earshot but Kate looked suspiciously to the direction of the boys' dorm.

"They're hiding something." She sad, eyes narrowing.

"Nonsense." Jane said.

"Well? It's probably just a prank." Lily yawned. " We'll see the results tomorrow."

"It's not a prank." Kate said matter of factly.

"How can you be sure?"

"Hunch, they're up to something."

The seriousness in Kate's ton awoke Lily.

"So what do we do?" She asked enthusiastically.

Kate smiled. "Figure out what they won't to tell us."

"How?"

"Really Lils, Katie, maybe it's personal!" Jane felt uneasy.

"We're their friends! Besides I bet you anything from the gleam in Sirius's eyes it wasn't personal. I'm going after them."

"I'm coming with you." Lily declared.

"But-" Jane was cut off by Lily.

"You don't have to come Jen but I want to find out what's so important to the boys that made them lie to us."

"Fine," Jane said. "but if we'll get into any trouble!-"

"We'll tell McGonagall we put the Imperio curse on you."

"You do that for me?" Jane put a hand on her heart. "I'm touched."

"Hey! What are friends for?" The all laughed heartily.

"So, how are we going to pull this off?"

"Piece of cake," Kate said. "we'll just hide in the common room till they'll come down."

"But if they'll use the invisibility cloak we won't be able to see when they're leaving." Lily was always the rational one.

"Not if we use the map." Jane said.

"That would be great it's just that, they use it themselves!!!"

"And besides they never let us use it anyway!"

"Ah yes, but you see Sirius landed me the map a few days ago for a little thing and I still have it." Jane said simply.

"What little thing exactly?" Lily asked suspiciously.

"Never mind that! I want to know how you got *Sirius* to give you the map. He's the one who's most protective about it!!!" Kate seemed astonished.

"I just asked him." Jane shrugged.

"What little thing?"

"You just ASKED him?!" Kate was lost for words.

"Yeah... He didn't even argue or anything."

"What little thing?"

"He didn't even ARGUE?!"

"Listen we have to get ready, they may come down any minute!"

Jane started marching upstairs. Kate shook her head and followed muttering something about Sirius Black and if the possibility of him being sane even exists.

Lily stayed back. "What little thing?"

The girls came back at 10:00 o'clock and sat in the common room joking and behaving as always. When the last Gryffindor left the room a mischievous look sparkled in Kate's eyes. The girls crept to a far corner of the room behind a large sofa were they were hidden from view completely.

"Now all we need to do is wait." Lily said and a smile came to her features. About an hour afterwards, when Jane was already in her third dream, they heard a creaking from the stairs.

"Damn Padfoot! You'll wake the whole bloody tower!!!" Came a hiss from thin air.

"Well if a certain Prongs would have lost some weight over those Quidditch practices..."

A little bang and a yelp were heard and Lily was quite sure James kicked Sirius in the side. She gave Kate a knowing smile while Kate whispered: "Gives a whole new meaning for 'side kick' huh?" The giggled silently and heard the boys' footsteps nearing the entrance.

Then the back of the portrait swung and the footsteps died out. Lily waked Jane softly.

"It's show time honey." Jane's eyes lit.

Kate meanwhile was handling the map. "I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good." She tapped it and lines were starting to appear on the parchment. "Let's go."

The got up and looked at the map. Jane whistled. "The boys are already pretty far away."

"Doesn't matter, we're only 3 and not cramped under a little invisibility cloak."

"Right then, off we go." They exited the empty common room and started walking briskly to direction the boys were apparently heading.

They walked silently for about 15 minutes searching the map for danger in the from of Argus Filch, the horrible caretaker who used to enjoy suspending students by their ankles, his cat Ms. Norris or any other teacher.

"That's strange." Lily said observing the map.

"What?" Jane perked up from a bit daydreaming.

"The boys seem to be heading to-" Kate started saying.

"The Forbidden Forest." Lily shivered slightly.

The looked up, and saw they were at the entrance hall.

"Ready?"

"Well we've come this far." The opened the doors to the grounds.

They walked for about 10 minutes, dogging Hagrid's Hut, and to the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest.

"Lumos." The murmured the spell together and the wands lit.

Kate was up front while Lily was holding the map in front of her nose and directing her, Jane was at the back checking no one was following them.

"They stopped moving." Lily informed the girls with a whisper.

"Do you suppose they're waiting for something?" Kate whispered.

"Maybe something attacked them!" Jane seemed worried.

"Oh no!" Kate mocked. "horrible danger! Beware!!!"

"Very funny." Jane looked at Kate hard.

"I don't see anything on the map but-"

Lily suddenly stopped and an evil smirk crossed her lips.

"Uh oh..." Kate looked at Lily frightened.

"What?"

"I know that look in your eyes."

"What look?"

"Lils, every time you have that look in your eyes it means you've created some evil plan for something."

"Me?"

"Lils, when you've got that look I'm getting more worried then when I see Katie's eyes sparkle."

"Well, maybe I have a little idea-"

Kate and Jane groaned.

"Oh come on! I just want to test the boys'... fear..."

Kate started smiling evilly too.

"Do I even have a chance fighting again it?" Jane asked depressed.

"Nope." They both replied.



James' eyes scanned the very dark forest.

"I- I'm sure I- I- I heard some- something." Peter stammered.

"Not to worry Wormtail." Sirius patted Peter's shoulder. "We'll protect you from the big frightening beasts of the forest."

Remus leaned against a big tree.

"I don't see anything." James informed the worried Peter.

"Shall we continue?"

Peter gave a small node, trying to hide the fact that he'd trade places with one of the sleeping Gryffindors for any thing.

"Then off we go." Sirius fired up.

The group started walking again. James and Sirius at the lead, Peter protected at the middle and Remus last. (A/N But not least ;))

The wind was blowing gently and the sky was clear. Remus gazed upwards at the stars. They sparkled and he was suddenly reminded of Kate's eyes. "They're like the stars." He mused softly.

Kate was always shining. Eyes dancing, lips smiling, mouth forming sharp comments... She was always... alive.

"Did you say anything Moony?" Peter turned around.

Remus perked up from his daydreaming. "What? Me? Course not!"

Peter shrugged. Remus rubbed his hands against his eyes. He was getting tired and his brain must be exhausted. Why otherwise would he be thinking such nonsense?



The boys walked for a while without many words shared. The wind now got stronger.

"Peter..." a very soft, almost unheard, whisper was heard.

Peter turned his head around immediately. But the only person behind him was Remus, who seemed quite distracted. Peter shook his head, he must be imagining.

"James..." the soft whisper came again, but this time from another place. James looked at Sirius to see why he called his name. But Sirius wasn't even looking at him.

"James..." The whisper seemed close to his very ear. He turned swiftly, but only the dark outlines of the forest were surrounding him. James's turn made Sirius look at him funnily and raise an eyebrow.

"I heard something." James looked around again but Sirius started snickering.

"That's not funny Padfoot!!!" He hissed.

But Sirius wasn't listening. "Yeah right Prongs next you're gonna tell me you can see dead people." (A/N Don't ever watch that film!!! It's so scary... *scared* I can't even think about it without shivering...)

"Padfoot! I swear. Something called my name." James hissed under clenched teeth.

"You actually think I'm going to buy it? Jeez Prongs you're gonna have to try and be more creative if you-"

"Sirius..." Sirius's face became white.

"You heard it too?" James whispered.

All Sirius was able to do was nod.

"What exactly do you think?" James gulped.



"Remus..." At first Remus didn't even hear the soft whisper.

But after a couple of times...

"Remus..." Remus stopped at once.

"Remus..."

Who? What? How? When? Remus's mind seemed to explode with questions.

"Remus..." Remus quickly caught up with the others.

"Guys, listen, I just heard-"

"You too?" Sirius asked in a hoarse tone.

All four boys looked around.

"I don't see anything..."

"Do y-you think it's- it's some sort of- of a- a monster?"

"Let's just- start going fast forward okay?" James suggested.

They all nodded.

"Let's stay close together." The all held arms and walked tight together.

Hearts beating madly and sweating they walked silently.

James looked around...

Now it was too quiet.

"DANGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The girls launched at the boys and knocked them to the ground.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" If there were any windows around, the boys would have surely broken them.

The girls now on top of the guys and laughing their heads off.

"You- you- you?" James was speechless. Peter seemed to petrified to even function, Remus looked around him haunted and Sirius was pale as the moon above.

The girls were still rolling on the floor unable to speak as well.

"That was so not funny!!!" Sirius was finally able to form a sentence while the others, with the exception of Peter, nodded furiously.

"You wanna bet?" Jane didn't seem to think so.

"You liked that didn't you?" Kate teased.

"'The great courages Marauders who never fear a thing' at their prime time." Lily commented.

The four boys made a face.

"What are you doing here?" Remus demanded.

"You nearly killed Wormtail!!!" James seemed aggravated.

"We nearly killed WORMTAIL?" Lily, angry, stuck her index finger in James's chest. "WORMTAIL? If my memory is correct, and I'm sure it is, Wormtail wasn't the one who nearly pissed in his pants when the unbodied voice was calling it's name!!!"

Lily and James were about the same height, but at the moment Lily seemed to triple her own height, towering above James.

"I didn't say I wasn't afraid, I just said-" James lifted his hands trying to protect himself.

"You just said WORMTAIL was afraid so you would have had to admit you were the coward one!"

"I just- I just-"

But Lily's and James' fight was cut off by the others laughing and rolling on the land.

"WHAT?!" The both asked irritated.

Jane opened her mouth but only laughter came out of it.

"You guys are fighting like an old married couple." Kate managed to explain their out burst.

"WE WHAT?!"

"Honestly, I can imagine both of you in 7 years time" Sirius started imitating a supposed Lily and James voice.

"You woke up Harry!"

"I woke up Harry? I WOKE UP Harry? If you weren't watching that stupid Quidditch game of yours our SON would have still slept!"

"I just- I just-"

But peals of laughter were coming out of Sirius' eyes and he was yet again disabled to continue. A blush started to creep unto Lily and James's cheeks.

"Oh come on! You have to admit it's funny!!!" Remus squeezed between laughs.

For a second Lily and James thought about it.

"Well," James said titling his head. "I do like the name Harry."

Lily's eyes and mouth dropped in bewilderment. "JAMES POTTER!!!" and she started chasing him around the woods.
