It was one week later and the weather was certainly cold this year. Sniffling noses and tiny coughs echoed around any quiet room. And it wasn't just cold outside... it was windy. Windy and chilly, making your eyes water slightly. Although, George always found a relaxing sensation in breathing cold air and seeing his own breath dissappear in the breeze, being outside wasn't alwayshis favorite time of day. But now the boys were inside on this Saturday morning, too lazy to do anything...
"Do you know how freaking bored I am!?" Lee lay on a cushy red sofa in the Gryffindor Common room. A few other small groups of people were hanging out in the Common Room, doing homework or what not...
"Not as bored as I am! Look at me! I'm doing homework!" Fred exclaimed as he sat on the floor infront of a low coffee table. George was propped up on his elbows, only half listening.
"George?" Fred poked his brother with his foot.
"Yes?" George looked up at his brother. Fred smiled.
Just at that moment the girls entered the Common Room.
"Hello," Alicia, Katie, and Angelina all greeted the boys. They giggled as they realized they had all said the same thing.
"Hehehe," Fred mocked them.
"Oh shut up," Angelina rolled her eyes as she took off her sweater.
"You shut up!"
"Good come back," Angelina threw her sweatshirt at Fred and sat down with Katie on the other sofa opposite of Lee's.
"Geranamo!" George heard Alicia exclaim and suddenly he felt the full force of a body ontop of him. Alicia had tackled him and was now attempting to tickle him. The other people in the room were all watching now, some laughing, some rolling their eyes.
"Dog pile!" George barely heard Fred yell, and George suddenly got the breath knocked out of him.
"Oi! Get off!" George was trying to push them off but before you can say "Hormones!" Katie, Angelina, and Lee had also jumped on the dog pile. Somehow in the midst of it all, George had escaped and in retaliation, jumped on all of them.
"Oof!" they all grunted. George smiled in the name of sweet revenge and come first year girls giggled.
"Ow... why do I even bother wearing a bra?!" Angelina asked.
"I don't know ... it's not like you actually need one," Fred teased her.
"Shut up!" Angelina tried to smack Fred but ended up bopping George on his red head.
"Hey! I didn't do it!" George rubbed the place where she had hit him.
"Oops."
"Ya know, I was thinking the other day that we need to figure out a way that you guys tell George and I apart," Fred began.
"Thats nice.. can we continue this conversation someplace else? Perhaps where I'm not squished under the poundage of my friends," Katie Bell's muffled voice came from somewhere under Lee.
"That ... is a good idea." Lee said, and they all one by one got up.
"Whew, it was hot in there," Alicia said, also removing her sweater.
"Because of me... we all know how sexy I am." George was about to say, but Fred beat him too it. They exchanged looks and smiled..
Angelina raised her hand. "I beg to disagree!" she said.
"Shut up!"
"You shut up!"
"You shut up!"
"No you!"
"You!"
"Shut up!"
"No, you shut up!"
"You shut up!"
"You like me."
"Do not!"
"Admit it, Angie! Ya love me!"
"Not like that! Shut up!"
"You shut up!"
All the while during this argument, George had motioned for Lee, Katie, and Alicia to join him in pelting Fred and Angelina with pillows. The look of surprise on their faces was so beautiful.
"Both of you shut up," said George, smiling mischieviously. Angelina and Fred responded by each grabbing a pillow and weilding it around like light sabers. George looked around wildly for a hiding place and threw himself to the ground. Laughter and cries of excitement echoed around the room as George army-crawled towards the couch. He'd only arrived when Alicia fell from the heavens (More like the back of the couch) and landed right infront of George.
"Wow, you're out to get me today!" George said, sitting up dusting himself off a bit.
"That I am," she agreed hurridly. "What now!?" she asked, peeking over the couch, and immediatly ducking. The other people in the room were all watching now, some looking like they wanted to leave... but George fed off of attention.
"Um... make a run for it?" George asked, motioning towards the exit.
"Aha! Gotcha!"Fred was looking behind the couch. George immediatly got into a duck and cover position while his brother whacked him with the pillow. But Fred wasn't paying much attention and the next thing he knew, Alicia was whacking him over the head with a pillow of her own.
"Ow!"
"What in Godric's name is going on here!?" came a very stern voice. Everyone froze in mid-whack. Alicia about to hit Fred again, Fred sheilding his face, George crawling away, Angelina trying to retrieve a pillow from Lee, who was being tickled by Katie. And there stood Percy with his hands on his hips. Everyone in the room was watching, acouple stiffling giggles.
"Just a little pillow fight," George stood up quickly and dusted himself off.
"Just a little pillow fight?! Just a little pillow fight.. ha! Twenty points from Gryffindor! Next time it'll be 50!" Percy eyed them all with suspision and stalked off and up the boy's staircase.
"Stupid prick," Alicia said, whacking Fred in the face again.
"Oww! What did I do!?"
"Nothing, I was just taking out my anger on you." Alicia responded. George laughed.
"There is absolutly nothing to do," Lee said, flopping down in the couch like before.
"What about Hide and Seek," Katie suggested. They all snorted.
"Katie, we're big kids now," Fred said in a very motherly voice.
"I know, but honestly... it could be fun! Running around Hogwarts..." said Katie. Fred and George both exchanged glances.
"What about teams?" George asked.
"What?"
"What if we were all on teams... like, 3 teams..." George explained.
"Sounds fun!" said Angelina. And soon they had their rules planned out.
"No hiding in bathrooms," Katie said, eyeing the boys.
"And no teacher's lounges," Alicia said.
"No going outside unless it's a hallway," Angelina added.
"No Biting," George said, grinning.
"And you can only go on the first 3 floors..." Katie said. The boys groaned.
"Why!?"
"Because it would take forever to find you! Alright, it's... Ten AM now... if you're not found before lunch, just go there and we'll meet up," Alicia said.
Boys against girls... it was perfect.
"Wait, what happens when we find you?" George said.
"IF you find us," Katie emphasized the if and George smiled. "Well, you first have to catch us," Katie said, "and then we'll have a prison of some sort... alright, us girls are going to leave and get a head start... guys tag girls in this round.... ready girls? ... Go." and the girls quickly ran for the exit. George and Fred waited till they were entirely gone and then raced towards the boy's dormitory.
"What are you doing?!" a surprised Lee asked, following them closely.
"Lee, I think it's time we introduced you to a friend of ours..." Fred said as they quickly made their way up the stairs.
"Four friends, actually..."
"Four very good friends..."
"And they're... where?" Lee asked as they stepped into their dorm.
"Lee, you must promise never to tell a soul about this.."
"Or we'll castrate you."
"Personally."
"Fair enough," Lee said. Fred and George smiled at him. George felt like he was Santa Clause at Christmas as he slunk over towards his bedside table.
"Lee," George pulled the map out of a drawer and handed it to Fred.
Fred unrolled the map, "We would like you to meet."
"The Marauders," both Fred and George said this last sentence together. Lee looked at them both as though he'd only first seen that they were twins for the first time.
"Uh-huh... what the hell is that?"
(`'·.¸(`'·.¸*¤*¸.·'´)¸.·'´) «´¨`·. ¤* *¤ .·´¨`» (¸.·'´(¸.·'´*¤*`'·.¸)`'·.¸)
Once Fred and George had properly introduced the Marauder's Map to Lee, they were well on their way to winning the first round of this silly game that Katie had announced. The boys themselves were already breaking the rules by being in the boy's bathroom.
"I'll take Angelina," Fred said, pointing to her dot which was on an outdoor balacony off the second floor.
"I got Katie," Lee said, smiling at her dot. Lee had been smiling since the time Fred and George had fully explained the Marauder's Map, even though he was mad that they hadn't told him these past 2 years.
"And I will take Alicia," George told them. Her dot was walking around the library aimlessly, stopping every so often. Mrs. Norris, the evil demon, was also in the Library... he'd have to stay out of her suspision..
"Alright, break! Prison is the Great Hall," Fred said, taking the map and rolling it up. George followed him and Lee out of the bathroom.
"Good luck!" he said, going the opposite way they were.
"Don't need it!" Lee yelled and he was gone. George smiled and began running the path towards the Library. By the time he got there, his breath was rather short and he was at a slow jog.
"Need ... to run... more often..." George panted to himself, leaning on the door for support. George stood for a few minutes, catching his breath...
Once inside the Library, George smiled... Madam Pince wasn't at her her desk at all... meaning she wouldn't even know he was here, rounded off eequalling there would be no suspision at all. George crept over to the first desk and listened hard. No sound, except his own shallow breath. The library was deffinetly one of the strangest places at Hogwarts. So quiet. Too quiet, as far as George was concerened. And there was too much learning going on. Too much reading... though lately George had learned that learning wasn't all that bad...
After a few minutes of sneaking around, George realized something. There was no one at the tables, no one at the shelves, looking for a book... no one writing reading, learning, thinking... though there was deffinitely someone hiding... George could feel it. George listened to the sound of his shoes squeaking as he crept down one isle towards a spiral stair case.
Squeak squeak squeak...
George's shoes made him want to laugh... he didn't even KNOW his shoes squeaked. At the top of the staircase, George ducked beneath the length of the railing and into a shadow. He could see almost everything up here, atleast on this side of the library. There was still another floor of books above him, and then there was the restrcted section.
"Where are you?" George sang quietly, watching for signs of movement in the isles below. Nothing. He let out a sigh and leaned against the wall.
Maybe he should make his presense known...? Madam Pince wasn't even in the room... where was everyone?
There was a sudden scurrying sound somewhere in the library. George couldn't even tell where it was from, but there was a faint squeak squeak of shoes. Ha! But where was it coming from??
George slid to the staircase exsisting on this level and quietly as possible climbed it. This was the top level in the whole library. It was small section above the rest of the library with red tinted windows. You could see either side of the Library from here. But George ran the risk of not getting down the stairs in time to catch Alicia if she decided to run towards the exit.
George stood in the shadow next to the red tinted window. It cast an eerie pink glaze on the floor.
"Too quiet," George whispered to himself. George wondered if Alicia was even in the Library any more, and if he was wasting his time being so secretive.
He decided he was having fun anyways, and looked out over the other side of the Library, just in time to see a small splash of movement. George grinned.
"Gotcha!" George whispered and he tumbled towards the stairs.
Down down down, not caring if he was quiet, George bounded the stairs in less than 20 seconds. He rolled into the shadows of the first floor and step by step crept towars the fiction section. He paused to listen and only heard silence.
"Where are you?" whispered as quiet as possible. No movement, no sounds... no nothing...
Running the length of the isle towards where he saw the movement, George stopped at the end of the shelf and pressed himself against the dusty books. He peeked around the corner and smiled brightly. There she was, acouple bookshalves away, rear-end towards him. Alicia was peeking around another shelf, unaware of the fact that the predator had found his prey.
Alicia danced alittle to the sound of her fingers drumming on the shelf. George could hardly keep himself from laughing. He looked down for a moment, to stiffle himself from laughing, and looked up agian. And in those few seconds she was gone. George raised an eyebrow and took big steps to where she was standing before, peeking around her corner. Alicia was quickly making her way down that isle. George watched her bum for acouple seconds and decided she had a nice figure. She must have felt someone watching her because acouple seconds later, she slowed down and looked over her shoulder. But by that time, George had already dissappeared behind the shelf again. George closed his eyes, hoped she wasn't looking and bounded to the very end wall at the end of the book cases. He ran to catch up with where she would be acouple isles over.
"Where are you?" George heard Alicia say. George's heart raced. Alicia wasn't very good at keeping silent, that as for sure. George's shoes squeaked again as he ran down the centre isle. Almost there... George looked around the corner and saw her standing there, starring up at the second floor. Seemed she knew he was up there before. George smiled and jumped into her isle, making his presense known. She spun around, saw him, screamed.
"Hunting over, time for the chase..." George said after she began running. He followed the sound of her shoes hitting the cobble floor. Weaving in and out of bookshelves, and nearly catching her twice, George wondered if this was what love was like. Manuvering your way to your prey, trying tricks and charming deeds, surprising her at every corner and never catching her... it seemed like a logical analyses. George let his senses flow and veered to the left, and into a seperate isle from her's. He listened intently as her footsteps slowed down.
"What?" Alicia breathed, obviously wondering where he was and why she wasn't being chased.. George peered through a space between two books only to find Alicia spinning around like a slow dradle. George smiled and followed as she walked down the row.
He let her walk a bit ahead and into a large open space with the Hogwarts emblem carved into the stone floor. Above her was the second and thir floor, and this space was relatively dark. George smiled as she tried to hide in the shadows. George knew that game all too well. Retracing his steps, George again sped towards the far wall. Shadows could be your friend and you enemy, George thought as he himself hid in the shadow. He felt like a cat, stalking towards her. Teen feet away, she could still run... Five feet away could hear her breathing in suspense ... three feet away, she was so tantalizingly close... one foot away.
George grabbed her from behind and laughed as she screamed and squirmed at the same time.
"I win," George said. She squirmed out of his grasp and turned around to hit him on the arm.
"You scarred me!" she accused him.
"Yes I did. It's called 'element of surprise'," George told her like she didn't already know. Alicia rolled her eyes but still smiled.
"Well that was fun," she said, still breathing pretty hard.
"That it was."
