Lily's arrival had been slightly less eventful compared to Scarlets, as she
was a much quieter person by nature, not to say she was quiet but in
comparison to Scarlets LOUD personality she appeared almost shy. This
seemed a relief to Mrs Potter who had been wondering how much more noise
her head could take.
The four of them now sat around eating freshly baked cookies and drinking coffee whilst listening to a .,.
("What's it called again lily?" asked Sirius
"A radio" sighed Lily exasperated, how many times she told them that she couldn't keep track)
(That's the one!) A radio, some muggle toy that played music and had a voice coming from it. The three of them sat looking at it wondering where the sound came from. Lily had given up trying to explain and allowed them to think it came from little pixies inside. James kept trying to talk to them, with no success.
(One of the things wizards miss out on is music, well good music anyway, after all how could anyone cope without Good charlotte *Drools on Benji*, All American Rejects, Linkin Park, 12 Stones, Evanescence, the poor people no wonder so many go insane. And back to the story)
"So Lily, how's your holiday been?" said James glancing shyly at her (awww bless him)
"Not too bad except Petunia keeps accusing me of casting spells and trying to kill her. I wish!" Lily mumbled cheerfully through a mouth full. "These cookies are good!"
"Not as good as this coffee!" Scarlet beamed pouring a third cup (Ever wondered why she is so high, think; Character based on me, obviously loves coffee)
"Red Girl, don't you think that's enough coffee? You'll be up all night!"
"NO" snapped Scarlet " Just leave the coffee, its mine okay? JUST LEAVE* deep breathing* THE COFFEE *deep breathing*ALONE!!!" (I'm not that possessive am I? Please say no)
"Umm someone call St. Mungos! Coffee obsessed lunatic in here!" exclaimed a slightly alarmed Sirius and Scarlet smiled as if she was coming out of a trance. The others stared curiously at her.
"What was that about" enquired a gob smacked lily.
"What about?" *smiling more*
"The whole coffee is mine, thing?" she said as the other nodded.
"Huh? I don't know what you're talking about." *grinning *
"Never mind" said Sirius trying to change the subject, "Fourth year Hogwarts! Aren't we getting old and sensible"
"Umm look who's talking Mr. Play-tricks-on-the-teacher" taunted James
"You can't talk!" replied Sirius both boys were the ringleaders of the Marauders and both equally devoted to cause trouble, although Sirius didn't quite know quite when to stop whilst James had his boundaries. Scarlet also enjoyed playing pranks but she never became as famous at Hogwarts for being a prankster as they did.
"So then you two what tricks have you got planned for this term?" asked Scarlet
The boys glanced at each other and emptied out there pockets, not only was there a collection of trick sweets (think Fred and George in modern Hogwarts), Dung bombs and little explosions but a collection of leaflets and brochures advertising all sorts of useful gadgets - useful in a dull potions lesson that's when, such us inerasable quills (for sprawling on walls) password ink ( writing only appears when someone says the correct password) bee swarms bees that appear no sting but cause big disruption) and many, many more.
