It was a well known fact that the Marauders and Lily Evans did not get along. Okay, so that was an understatement. They despised each other in every single way. Passing in halls they would glare or throw insults. In classrooms they would knock over each others inks or "accidentally" kick over their chairs. In the Gryffindor Common Room there would be fights and all Hell would break loose.

One day, something very weird happened. In History Of Magic, something caught the classrooms attention. Now History Of Magic was usually a class for extra sleep or to do last minute homework, so this was a rare sight indeed.

"Now class... something has come to my attention." Droned Professor Binns. " There will be a new club going on every Thursday evenings in the Room of Requirement at 7:30. It will be a debate club for fifth years and up."



Murmurs could be heard around the class. "A debate club?" "That may be fun." "Is this some sort of joke?" "What's the point?" "Where the Hell is the Room of Requirement?"

"Now..." continued Professor Binns. "By attending this club, you will receive extra credit on your N. E. W. T. s, which I am sure some of you desperately need. Now in today's lesson...."

The class then fell into it's regular course.

"Witch burning was very popular in medieval times. Of course they rarely caught a real witch but when they did the witch would only need to put on a freezing charm on and would then feel a pleasant tickling sensation. Now name two theories that were used to see if you were a witch.

Yes it was going to be a very boring and excruciating lesson.

"So what do you think about that debate thing?" Said Sirius Black, a well known prankster and idiot part of the Marauders. "I think I'll give it a go, after all I really need that extra credit.



"Yeah, same here." Another Marauder by the name of Peter said (also an idiot).

"Well, I think it sounds fun and it could really change your point of view if the debater wa-"

"Remus we didn't ask for you to advertise it for us!" said James Potter.

"Well then. I think tha-"

"Yes Remus! Quit thinking because we're going to it all right!"

"Well, I am most defiantly am attending. Not for the extra credit though "said Lily Evans while giving off a rich laugh. "No, I don't need that but it's a great idea. Are you in?"

"I don't know... I tend to get a lot of potions homework on Thursday nights and you know me... I'm pretty much a squib." Said one of Lily's only friends- Arabella Figg.

"Well, if it's homework... maybe you shoul-"

"Okay, you've persuaded me to go. You'll be a great debater you know"

By that evening, the whole school knew about the upcoming club on Thursday night. Some said it was pointless and others thought it was weird. Lily Evans and James Potter along with the other Marauders, were going to attend and have to suffer each others wraths. Oh yes, Thursday nights were going to be nights to remember.
