Chapter Nine; The marauders pool
"We need to do something to be remembered by" said Ron quietly at breakfast the next morning.
"What do you mean?"
"Well Moony, Padfoot and Prongs discovered all the secret passages and created the Marauders map and stuff. What are we going to do?"
"I don't know"
"Well there's something I do know" said Ginny
"What?"
"I'm going be late for Herbology"
"We better go to Transfiguration, Mcgonagol will freak if we are late"
"Ron really" sniffed Hermione.
The next day was a Saturday, the Marauders; Reborn were walking to the Lake. They all sat down and talked about how they could make their mark. Ron began to wriggle,
"Ow! Ron that was my foot!"
"I need the loo"
"Well go up to the castle"
"I'm dying"
"Well, just go behind that rock" Harry waved his hand at a large rock on the other side of the lake, next to the wall.
"Harry! I can't do that"
"We won't look Ron" Ginny giggled.
"Fine." Ron stomped off to where Harry had pointed. After a few minutes Ron shouted,
"Guys, come over here!"
"Ron are you still..."
"Oh yeah Hermione." Ron yelled sarcastically.
"Awww young love!" Ginny spoke in Harry's head and he sniggered.
Harry, Ginny and Hermione came around the corner to see Ron looking into a large hole.
"There's a sort of tunnel, I think"
"Wonder what's down there" Ginny whispered
"Only one to find out" Harry whispered excitedly,
"Why are we whispering?"
"I don't know"
"I don't think this is such a good idea" Hermione worried
"Fine me and Ron will just go"
"No" replied Ginny "We're a team, The Marauders; Reborn. We go together or not at all"
"Come on 'Mi."
"You know you want to" encouraged Ron
"Come on then. Wands out at least"
Ron went into the hole and crawled along the tunnel, Harry went next followed by Ginny, Hermione brought up the rear. Ron lit his wand,
"The tunnel ends and opens into a room, I think" reaching the end of the tunnel he jumped onto the sandy floor. The other's followed and gazed around in awe.
"I think we've made are mark" said Ginny. They had found some kind of underwater lake, there was a spring bubbling away at one end. Shafts of light were shining through gaps in the rocks making dust particles dance in the sunlight.
"It's beautiful" Hermione breathed. Ron knelt down and put his arm in the water,
"Hey it's warm. It's like a natural swimming pool"
"The marauders pool" Harry said laughing. "Lupin and Sirius will be proud"
"How about we go get our swimming stuff and come back for a swim" Ginny said excitedly.
The other three nodded.
"Maybe we can make a map that shows the way and pass it on to a new generation when we leave" said Ron lazily as he swam around the pool. Ginny and Hermione were lying in the shallows with their eyes closed and Harry was carefully trying to look anywhere other than Ginny in a bikini.
"Wonder what made this place?" Harry tried to get his mind on other things,
"*Take a deep breath Harry*" Ginny's voice teased him,
"*Don't know what you mean*!"
"*Look any where else Harry otherwise dear Ronnie may kill you*"
"*Shut up*"
"*Just getting rude now*"
"*Well what about you, when I used to smile at you, you went bright red*"
"*Well, now when you smile at me I no longer feel the need to find a butter dish and put my elbow in it. I've grown up*"
"*I noticed*" Harry turned a bright shade of red "*can't believe I just said that*"
"Harry why are you going red?" quizzed Ron, "You look like an extra bright quaffle, which reminds me, we need to put up a sign-up-sheet. That's your job, your the captain."
"Put my name down" said Ginny, Harry nodded and Ron looked shocked.
"Ginny? You can't play"
"Why not?" asked Ginny annoyance in her voice
"Because you can't play. You don't play with us in the summer"
"I would if you let me. Lets get out and go to the quidditch field and I'll shoot a few goals at you. I need some more practise anyway." The others agreed, especially Harry who hadn't ridden his Firebolt since last year.
"Bloody school brooms" Ginny complained as she crawled through the sky.
"Have a go on this" Harry landed and held out his Firebolt for Ginny to ride.
"Really?" Harry made a 'yes' noise,
"Wow, thanks!" Harry sat down and watched Ginny fly through the air, she was a good chaser. Out of ten shots six of them went in and four Ron saved, Harry picked up the old Cleansweep that Ginny had been using. He passed the quaffle to Ginny from many angles and tried to make it as difficult as possible.
"Your not as bad chaser yourself Harry!" Ginny gasped as they landed.
"My Dad was a chaser, got some of his talent I guess"
"Gin, how did I not know about this" Ron exclaimed in disbelief, Ginny shrugged.
"You never gave me a chance"
"We have three chaser positions free I'm positive you'll get a position, without being biased obviously" Harry added.
"Obviously" said Ginny grinning.
The quidditch season wasn't starting until the beginning of December but the tryouts were held in November. The weather was surprisingly warm so the new Marauders were often found in their pool or on the quidditch pitch. Harry put up the tryout sign-up list in the Gryffindor common room. By the second day at least 15 names were down on the list including Ginny's.
On the 21st of November Harry and Ron (the only remaining people on the team) stood in their Quidditch robes facing a line of nervous Gryffindors.
"As you know we have five positions to be filled; 3 chasers and two beaters. First we will try out for the Chaser positions, you will take it in turns to shoot goals at Ron, our keeper. Then we will test the beaters. We will then discuss you and we'll post the chosen five on the board tomorrow. So chasers, mount your brooms." Harry said.
The next hour was spent with the chasers and then thirty minutes with the beaters. Harry noticed that Ginny was by far the best looking girl and by far the best chaser; she got the most goals and was the most agile. When they had sent everyone, including Ginny, back up to the castle Ron and Harry discussed the places.
"Ginny is definitely in" said Harry
"I still can't believe I didn't know she was that good!"
"How about the twins, Leah and Laura" Leah and Laura Faraday were third year's and had tried out for chasers.
"Yeah they were the next best. And how about Peter and David for our beaters, they almost knocked my head off at one point."
"We got the players, now we just need to make them into a team" Harry sighed, it was going to be tough.
"TEAM!" The conversations that had started in the changing rooms soon stopped when Harry shouted "We face Slytherin tomorrow, this is our last practise. We have to beat them. Our chaser moves are almost perfect, our keeper is brilliant and we have two beaters who could rival Fred and George."
"And we've got the best seeker we've ever had in the history of the school!" Ron added, Harry blushed.
"Yeah, Yeah. I believe in this team but we need to play as if our lives depended on it! Now lets get out there and have the best damn practise we can!" The team practically floated on to the pitch and did have a very good practise.
