Chapter Six: Planning For The Show, The Prophecy
*****
Lily, Arabella, Selena, and Gwen were all sitting in the girl's dormitory.
"What are we going to do? We only have a month before the talent show?!" Selena said starting to freak out as walked around the dorm.
"Clam down Lena! We'll find something, Gwen said trying to shut her up.
"Easy for you to say Miss I'm going to sing a duet with Jared," She said glaring at her.
"I'm going to be performing with you guys too," Gwen said looking at the ground as he began messing with her robe.
"I'm just kidding!" Selena smiled and turned to Lily, "Got any ideas, Lily my dear?"
"Hmm… we can dress up as a muggle girl group and sing," Lily suggested.
"That sounds like a plan," Arabella spoke up.
Just as the girls were finishing up what to do for the talent show, there was something tapping the window. Lily walked over to open the window and found her owl, Galatea holding a letter. She took the letter from Galatea-, hooted and flew away.
"I hope it's not another letter from Petunia," Lily frowned staring at the letter.
When Lily would write letters home, her parents would write back, so did Petunia with her not so nice greetings.
"Don't worry I'm sure it's not," Selena said.
Lily opened the letter; Arabella, Gwen and Selena stood up surrounding her trying to read the letter. She looked up at the three and told them that Dumbledore wanted to meet them in his office after dinner to talk to them.
Lily, Arabella, and Selena's eyes widened. What if Dumbledore knew what they did to Lucius, Severus, Crabbe, and Goyle? Boy would they be in trouble. Then again they wanted to see Gwen also so it must not be. The girls ran out of the dorm to the boys, to see if they received a letter also.
*~*~*~*
"OK, we got to think of something to do this year for the talent show," James said circling the boy's dormitory.
"We could… no. That wouldn't work. Or we could…ahh… never mind," Remus couldn't think of what to do.
All four boys still couldn't figure out what to do either just as the girls started out. As they were discussing what to do, James's owl flew in the room, dropped a letter with a package in his hand and flew back out the window. Once Sirius saw the package he grabbed it from James, he knew what was in it. Sirius smelled the box with a big smile and opened it right away.
"Yes! Your mums famous tacos!" Sirius said while eating a taco.
Peter ran up the box and grabbed two, "Ilovetacos," talking with his mouth full as tacos bits flew out of his mouth along with Sirius.
"Whoa, easy there you two save some for us!" Remus grabbed the box from them.
"OH! I have an idea for what we can do for the talent show!" Sirius shouted while bits of tacos flew out as he did a victory dance, after he was done dancing he grabbed a piece of parchment and laid on his bed as he started to write something.
James just laughed it off, and then he opened the letter. After he had finished reading the letter, his eyes widened. The boys noticed James action.
"What did it say?" Remus asked.
"The letter is from Dumbledore and he was all of us to meet his in his office after dinner," James gulped.
"Lets go see if the girls got an letter also," Remus suggested to the group.
They all ran out of the dorm with a taco in each of their hands.
*~*~*~*
The two groups ran out of their dorms to see if the other group had received a letter also. They all spotted each other.
"James! Sirius! Remus! Peter!" Lily yelled to get their attention.
All four boys walked towards the girls.
"Hello, ladies," Sirius said smiling at the girls. The rest of the guys said hi also.
The girls leaned back from what they smelled. "Whoa, fancy breath mints, all you?" Arabella asked as she scrunched her face.
The boys began to flush.
"Oy! Did you get a letter from Dumbledore?" James asked as her ignored what Arabella had just said.
All four girls nodded.
"Do you think he knows," he asked.
"Well, we don't think so. Gwen wasn't there when we pulled that thing on Lucius, and the others," Lily said. "But you never know."
"I guess we'll have to wait and see what ever is the matter," James said walking down the stairs. "You all coming? Lunch will start any minute."
Everyone snapped back and followed him except for two.
"Hey Lena!" Sirius said.
"What do you want now?" she asked in an annoyed voice.
"Can we talk?" he began to pout.
"NO NO NO!" she started walking away.
"But… I need someone to talk to about Sus-
Selena stopped and turned around to face him, " Susan?! Your going to break up with her aren't you? No! I'm tired of telling you the same thing over and over! You go around acting like you're in love with the girls you date then all of a sudden you get bored and break up with them! You act as if it's their fault when really it's yours! Do you know how many hearts your broken in just a couple of months!?! I don't get why you always come to me to talk about this things because we always have the same conversation! Don't get me wrong, it's fun talking to your about other stuff, but when you talk about your ex's as if you really don't know what's going on. You need to get your act in check, really. And realize what you're doing to others! Find someone else to talk to now."
She stormed out of the common room leaving Sirius shocked as he watching her leave the common room.
'Maybe I needed to heard that, but did I really hurt so many?' he thought to himself, 'I'll apologize later when Lena has calm down.'
*~*~*~*
The Marauders and the girls were standing outside of Dumbledore's office, in front was a Griffin like statue. As for Selena and Sirius they stood far apart from on another.
"What's the password?" Lily looked at the strange statue.
"Don't know, but I hear he's fond of muggle sweets," Gwen squeaked looking down the hall in case anyone was coming.
All of them began saying random muggle sweets that Dumbledore maybe could of used as a password. None of them worked.
"Chocolate Frogs!" Peter yelled.
"No, no Wormtail, that's not a muggle sweet, " Remus shook his head.
'I wonder why we let him hang around for so long,' James wondered.
"Hmm… TOOTSIE ROLLS!" Gwen said.
The Griffin statue began to twist up in a spiral staircase. The whole group went up the stairs and found the door that lead to Dumbledore's office. The door opened, everyone walked in all around the room were so many gadgets and portraits of past headmaster. They seemed to have fallen asleep. Dumbledore's office was amazing in the back of the room you could see enormous telescope. As everyone was looking around they heard a voice.
"Ahh… yes. Welcome. You all came at last," Dumbledore appeared with a red exotic looking bird on his shoulder.
"Hello, Sir." James spoke for the group, " By the way is that a-
"Phoenix?" Dumbledore finished his question, as the Phoenix stood on a perch nearby. " His name is Fawkes, extraordinary creatures.
"Sir, you called us here?" Lily asked.
"Why yes Ms. Evans. Everyone please sit down," Dumbledore snapped his fingers and eight chairs appeared in front of them. " You are all here for a certain reason, not because anyone is in trouble, but here to set out your destines."
Everyone looked at him as if he was crazy. They knew Dumbledore to be a little off the rocker at times, but this was at the peak of his craziness.
"Our destiny?" Remus asked.
"I'll explained to you all that a few years back I came across a prophecy," his eyes twinkled through his half moon shaped spectacles.
"What does that have to do with us?" Sirius asked. At this point everyone seemed to have some questions to ask.
"Everything Mr. Black, everything," he looked at each and everyone from the group and sat down.
"Sorry for the inconvenience, but you all will need to bear with me in this story I am about to tell you. As I said before a few years back I came across a prophecy, that said when the dark lord raises, eight will be the cause of his rise and fall."
"Is the eight of the cause meaning us?" Arabella asked.
"Yes, you are correct Ms. Figg," he looked at the group again and continued, "As I said before, there will be eight for they will be called "The Old Crowd". Two will live in regret, two will betray or leave the group for an unknown reason, one will be accused for two others death as for living a horrid life that wasn't deserved, one will have a hidden secret that cannot be told till it is too late, and the last two will bear a child with a scar that will die in the defeat of the dark lord."
"Umm…. excuse me Sir, but who is the dark lord you speak of?" James asked.
"His name is Voldemort, but many witches and wizards fear his name," Dumbledore stopped and looked at all of them, but the tinkle in his eyes disappear. " You all listen carefully, you must stay as a group for as long as you can, for your force is strong within numbers. No, need to worry yet, this event hasn't came."
"How do you know were the eight?" Selena asked.
"Well, through my years I never seen a group as yourselves so close, and everything fits in."
"Will any of us die?" Peter squeaked as he had a very worried face.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Pettigrew, but I cannot say, perhaps two." Dumbledore stood up, "It is getting very late you all better go get some sleep I don't want to be at fault for you eight being late for class. I will owl you all if anything happens, I'm sorry you found out in the way you didn't, but you will be great witches and wizard."
The whole group walked out all very worried and scared. How could they be part of this prophecy? And which out would live in regret, betray, to be accused, have a secret, or bare the child. Only time will tell. Once they arrived to their dorm, they went to sleep right away.
*~*~*~*
Everyone was asleep except for Lily and Selena.
"Lily, what do you think about all of us in this prophecy thing going on?" Selena said looking at the ceiling.
"I'm surprise, but not worried. I won't worry till the time comes. We all need to have fun while we can enjoy it."
"Your right, I don't want to think I might be the one to die."
"Me too." Lily rolled over an went to sleep
"Night Lily"
"Night Lena and please forgive Sirius, I hate when your mad at him. Yes, he arrogant, but you never know it may be a phase."
"I'll think about it. When you admit to liking James. Night"
She threw a pillow at Selena and smiled as she went back to sleep.
