reading, IT GETS A LOT BETTER! I promise! ;)
(there is some action!)
Capitúlo Doce- Graduación Trans. Chapter Twelve- Graduation
By the time the boys had finished getting ready, which had only taken about ten minutes, everyone downstairs had already left.
"Oh, you would have thought that she would have stuck around for a while, you know, after what she did to us! I mean honestly, we were in." his voice reduced to a whisper, "towels!" At this Remus broke out laughing. "What the hell is so funny?" Remus was gasping for breath, he couldn't stand it anymore. So Sirius was completely afraid of girls, no wonder he hadn't had a girlfriend in ages.. James shook his head and Peter laughed. "STOP!"
"Sirius, Sirius, Sirius, we were just joking you! We didn't know you were so.... insecure!" Remus replied.
"I-I-I'm not INSECURE!"
"Yes you are!" At this Sirius lunged for Remus, but Remus backed out of the way and Sirius fell flat on his face. "Sirius, are you okay??" Remus' voice was so falsely mother-like that James almost threw up.
"We're late!" James claimed, looking at his watch.
"Something new and different! I don't like wearing these pretty clothes!" Peter cried picking at his robes.
"Pretty clothes? You are joking right?" Remus was forcing a laugh back down his throat, resulting in a snort. Peter's face was turning white, rather then red, with embarrassment. "Let us go to Hogsmeade tonight and purchase some gorgeous ladies night gowns so you can feel 'pretty' comfortably. how does that sound?" James snorted and Peter headed out into the hallway alone. Sirius turned and followed him, saying a very girly 'hmph!' as he went.
"Well, someone is on a roll tonight!" James mocked. "What are you going to do to me?"
"Um, I am too scared to say anything to you, James, you'll go tell Lily and she'll rip up my homework or something** and then steal my clothes again!" At that Remus ran out of the common room before James could realize exactly what he had said. It didn't take James long and he followed Remus out the Portrait Hole gaining on him. When he caught up with him, he shook up his hair, ruining five minutes of work. Remus turned around and did the same. They soon caught up with Peter and Sirius who laughed insanely at the two's mussed up hair.

"Hello, everyone! As you know, I am Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster here at Hogwarts! Welcome back to the alumni and welcome for the first time parents who did not attend! I am pleased to have everyone here!" Dumbledore's voice boomed loudly, the hall completely quiet, intent on listening to the respected man's speech. Even the few muggles that were there realized the great deal of admiration that he deserved. Dumbledore continued, "If you would please, will Lily Evans of Gryffindor and Marcus Li of Ravenclaw please come up!" Lily and a tall, lanky Asian boy with dark features walked up to the stage that had been magiked in the Hall. "Our Head Boy and Girl ladies and gentlemen!" The hall burst into applause and Lily began her speech, Marcus waiting his turn. When she reached the podium, James was no where in sight. She gazed around the audience; she couldn't find any of the Marauders. Mina waved at her from one of the rows. She mouthed hi to her and began to speak. But before she could get out more then a welcome, the door slammed open.
"PETER!" Remus tried to say quietly. "Just announce it to the whole bloody hall while you're at it!"
"Awww, Remmy's going through his 'time of month' isn't he?" Sirius mocked. Remus turned around to say something back, but then he realized the whole hall was watching them, including Dumbledore. They walked to some empty seats in the back, all with red faces. As if nothing had happened they continued on with the graduation ceremony.
Lily gave her speech followed by Marcus. Then Professor McGonagall took over the stage. She took out a long scroll from her robes and began to read off of it, "The following students have received top grades in each house, it is awarded to two boys and two girls from each house. It is a very exciting and highly respected award! I am pleased to announce the following students from Hufflepuff have achieved high marks: MORGAN UFEYN!" a tall girl with short honey hair walked up to the podium and received her certificate.
"TARA JAMESON!" McGonagall continued. "Congratulations girls!" They shook hands and walked to the side. "Now for the gentlemen:
"PATRICK O'DOUBERLY and KIM HUANG!" The two boys came up and received the award, and stood with the girls underneath the Hufflepuff flag. "And now, from Slytherin! PAULA FLINT, JAQUELIN SANDSA, HARRIS McKIN, and JOHN FAVRIER!" The four students dressed in green robes walked up and stood under the giant flag.
"Gryffindors get ready! LILY EVANS, DANA RO, RICHARD LaRENE, and SIRIUS BLACK!" when Sirius's name was called the hall was filled with silence. The incredibly handsome, if not a little shy around the opposite sex, whom had never seemed studious, AND had always been playing pranks, had never come off as smart, and he knew it.
Before he went up to the plinth, Sirius whispered in James's ear, "You were supposed to get better grades then me, not make it so that I look all smart!" James shrugged and congratulated his friend. "Oh, shut-up!" He walked up all eyes on him, including Dumbledore. Dumbledore's expression was pleasantly surprised, whereas everyone else was just plain shocked. Sirius groaned under his breath and made his way up to the stage. He put on his best fake smile and went to stand next to Lily.
"Sirius, you look like you're constipated!" she commented under her breath, keeping her smile.
"Same to you!" he replied, obviously upset that everyone knew his little secret. Everyone clapped and soon the Ravenclaws were up and they could sit back down. Sirius, almost running, was the first one back in his seat, even if his seat was all the way in the back. Dumbledore chuckled as he made his way back up to the dais.
"Congratulations to all of you! I am very pleased to announce that this year out of four hundred students; three hundred and eighty-seven have been able to move on into the real world. Now if you do not receive your graduation certificate today, I hope you realize that you get another year of feasts!"
"Bet I don't get a certificate!" Peter whispered to his friends. James shrugged, Sirius just sat back and scowled, and Remus tried to offer some condolences.
"Well you aren't in Hufflepuff! You are in Gryffindor!"
"I guess." But by the time Dumbledore had gotten to the P's, Sirius had gone up one more time, much to his dismay, and Remus had gotten his certificate. Dumbledore called out Ollie Palov, Hannah Penika, Bob Pellidew, and then he went straight to James Potter. Peter hung his head in shame.
"At least you didn't get THIS stupid award!" cried Sirius holding up a crumpled certificate.
"Your mum isn't going to be very pleased when she sees that, now is she Sirius?" James asked when he got back.
"Don't you ever think about someone other then yourself? Hm? Honestly!" Remus scolded. Sirius shrugged and went back to scowling. "Um, Dumbledore is right, you do still have the feasts and we know how much you love them! And we'll come visit you!" The others nodded. Before long they noticed that Dumbledore had said the same name three times.
He said it once more, "MIA THRUIN?" Remus knew this girl very well. She was a Ravenclaw and they had gone out together for more that a year. But he had broken up with her when she had almost found him as a full werewolf. He didn't want to risk that with her. They had stayed very good friends.
"Help! Someone, help us!" Remus stood up, and looked for the person who had shouted it. Someone had opened the doors in the same fashion that Peter had. The person collapsed in a heap in the doorway. Dumbledore and McGonagall ran off the stage to the boy. It was a sixth year Ravenclaw, Gregory Tamborae. James, Sirius, and Remus stood up, as they were closest to the boy. His robes were covered in mud and he had a scrape across his face. They ran out into the hallway while Peter sat frozen in his seat. The teachers shooed them away and they went out into the hallway to see if Mia was out there, but she was no where to be found.
"Go back in there James!" Sirius hissed under his breath. James shook his head no. "YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO! WHAT IF THIS HAS TO DO WITH HIM?" James reluctantly went back in, everyone was standing on their tip toes to see what was happening, but no one except the Marauders had dared to get out of their seats. James ran to the boy, Dumbledore letting him.
"What did you see?" as Dumbledore questioned the boy, Lily came running up.
"James! What has happened?"
"We aren't sure; Sirius and Remus are out in the hall!" She ran out of the room to the hall before the teachers could stop her. James heard her say something to Remus, and then they heard her scream, Gregory silent the entire time.
GASP! What is going to happen? Why did Lily scream? What has she seen? What is the story behind Lily ripping up homework? Is Mia alive? More importantly, who is Mia? Will Remus's heart be broken? Well, what do you think? All these questions and more answered next time in Chapter Thirteen- Mia's Story!
