Sirius Black- Captured!*~~
Chapter Twelve*~~ Professor Lupin's Secret*~~
"WHAT!" exclaimed Harry as Padfoot and Moony levitated the food out. "Are you crazy! I am NOT eating anything that those two psychos made!"
"And why not?" asked a "hurt" Remus.
"Hello, Moony! I'm not daft. You ARE the Marauders!"
"WHAT?" chorused Fred and George.
"Oops." Harry trailed off. Sirius was grinning and Remus groaned
*************
"What is going on?" asked Fred.
"And why has there been extensive use of the names Padfoot, Moony, Wormtail, and Prongs?" asked George.
"Who just happen to be the makers of the Marauder's Map."
"And who we happen to be VERY interested in!"
"Because," Sirius said rolling his eyes, "The only remaining TRUE Marauders are standing right in front of you."
"I am NEVER going to be able to teach at Hogwarts, ever again!" moaned Remus.
"Please tell me you aren't ashamed of being a Marauder,: said a horrified Sirius.
"Of course I'm not, you great dungheaded prat!" Remus snapped.
"May we present Padfoot and Moony," Harry said.
"Best friend to Prongs- Harry's dad," Ron added.
"The true Marauders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry," Hermione finished.
"No fucking way!" breathed Fred.
"Professor LUPIN!" George said.
"Language!" snapped Molly.
"And I'd prefer Remus or Moony. At the VERY least Professor Moony," Remus said, grinning.
"Cool!" Ginny said. She grabbed some food and started eating. Dudley grinned at her reaction. No wonder Harry went gaga over her... even if Harry didn't realize it yet.
"See, Gin's daring enough to eat it," Sirius pouted.
"She's crazy, I'm not," Harry said stoutly.
"It's really good!" Ginny said. Soon everyone was eating some. Even Harry was. reluctantly. Ginny took a minute to watch Harry while everyone else was busy talking. He looked up and Ginny quickly looked at her food.
She felt someone kick her leg and looked up at Harry, who was sitting across from her. He jerked his head to the side. Ginny nodded and they stood up. He led her partway down the hill to the cherry trees.
"Did you need something?" asked Ginny.
"I was going to ask you the same thing," Harry said.
"I..." Ginny dribbled off and looked at her feet, not wanting to tell Harry the reason she'd been looking at him. She had fought hard not to like him any more but it was impossible.
"Ginny, you can tell me of something is bothering you," Harry said softly.
"It's nothing, Har," Ginny said, shaking her head. "Forget about it. Really," she added to his unbelieving face.
"Alright. Well, I would prefer to stay out here for a while. I'd like you to stay, but you can go back if you want. I'm a little sick of seeing Moony's face, let alone Padfoot's," Harry said jokingly. Ginny laughed.
'Oh, God. Her laugh is so pretty. It's amazing. It's a little seductive... but she's GINNY! She's Ron's SISTER!' He shook his head and groaned.
"Uh, Harry, are you okay?" asked Ginny, cocking her head, chocolate eyes full of concern.
"Yeah," Harry said numbly. "Just thinking."
"About September 2nd?" asked Ginny.
"How are we going to prove that Sirius is innocent?" Harry said. He and Ginny sat down in the soft grass.
"Maybe we'll have to catch Pettigrew," Ginny said.
"That's nearly impossible. Sirius spent almost a whole year looking for that damn be gone rat."
"Harry, he's innocent. We'll find a way to prove it," Ginny said softly, laying her hand on his shoulder. It sent a pleasant chill down Harry's spine.]
"Thanks, Gin," Harry said softly. They stayed like that for some time. Then Moony and Padfoot came rushing towards them with muggle looking squirt guns. (they of course can never run out of water)
"DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" screamed Sirius, shooting water at Harry. Hi aim was horrible and he hit Ginny. She shrieked and jumped up. Fred and George came up and tossed her and Harry a squirt gun.
"You, Sirius lack, are SO DEAD!" Ginny yelled. She, having PERFECT aim, hit Sirius with water charmed to be ice cold. He shrieked like a girl and hid behind Remus. Harry grinned evilly.
"Sorry, Remi!" he said. Remus was hit with freezing water as well.
"Ready, set, FIRE!" Hermione yelled. She and Ron hit Fred and George. Fred and Goerge ended up hitting Arthur and Molly who, in turn took the targets of Bill and Charlie. Percy and Dudley shared identical grins before targeting Arthur and Molly.
Two hours later, soaked with freezing cold water, the Weasleys, Harry, Hermione, Dudley, and the Marauders were all laughing in a giant heap under the cherry trees. "That was FUN!" Dudley said.
"Tell me about it!" Percy said.
"We will," Sirius said. "Now, it started by me and Remus coming up with the brilliant idea to-" but he was cut short by and rush of cold water as everyone sprayed him. "HEY!"
"Is for horses," chorused the rest.
"Oh, snuff off!" he pouted. They laughed and got up.
"I think we should change," Ginny said, looking down and her soaking shirt. For some odd reason Harry was disappointed. He like the way Ginny's white tank top clung to her chest.
"Boys and girls in separate rooms please," Remus ordered.
"Sick man," Ron muttered.
"What was that, Mr. Weasley?" asked Remus, raising his eyes in his professor like manner.
"PROFESSOR MCGONAGALL!" Sirius yelled, pointing at Remus. Remus hit him with water before tackling him to the ground. They went at it for about ten minutes. Then Harry quickly and easily pulled them apart.
"Now, please, will the two of you grow up for one minute? I thought *I* got to be the child here," Harry said, pouting.
"AWWW!" Remus and Sirius chorused. Then they tackled him to the ground.
"Come on, let's go change," Fred said, grabbing Harry.
"Come along," George said, grabbing the rest of the 'children.' (sweet, sweet tradition!)
Soon Ginny and Hermione were throwing clothes around Ginny's room and trading shorts or shorts. (ya get the picture) "Orange," Ginny said. "Ron's favorite color is orange. The whole Chudley Cannons thing."
"I look atrocious in orange," Hermione whined.
"You look GREAT in orange," Ginny stated firmly. She threw Hermione a bright orange shirt with a Hawaiian flower in the center of the chest.
"Nice shirt."
"Yeah, but orange clashes with my famous hair," Ginny said, grinning as she tugged on her spirally redish orange hair.
"But green looks great with it," Hermione said. "And, that's Harry's favorite color." Ginny went bright red.
"Is it that obvious," asked Ginny as she took the emerald green tank top Hermione had tossed to her. It was emerald green (yes, I do like repeating myself) and had silver jewels along the low neck line.
"Only because I'm a teenage girl," Hermione said, grinning.
"Good. I tried to get over it but I didn't. Oh well," Ginny said, shrugging. "Not like he likes me."
"Maybe you are blind," Hermione muttered.
"Huh?"
"Never mind, Gin," Hermione said. Hermione grabbed her own pair of khaki shorts and Ginny wore her own pair of black shorts. The two charmed their wet hair dry. Ginny's quick fingers braided her own hair while Hermione put hers into a messy tear drop bun. The two girls started downstairs.
"I forgot my notebook. Meet you in the kitchen," Ginny said. She dashed upstairs to get her blue notebook that had a bunch of names scribbled across it.
Ginny was walking down the kitchen steps when she slipped and fell flat on her butt. "Ouch!" she whined as she stood up. "Damn, and I was trying to get the whole poised thing down." (okay, I was walking back to the computer room and I almost fell over. That's what I said (minus the damn because I was in the presence of my none cursing mother))
"You're getting there," Sirius said from the table where he and all of the males in the home (with the exception of Arthur) were playing poker. Ginny blushed, realizing everyone had seen her fall.
"SO where's Mum and Dad?" she asked, eager to change the subject. Hermione was sitting on the countertop, eating ice cream from the bucket. Ginny hopped up and joined her.
"They went shopping," Bill said.
"That reminds me, Sirius is the spell ready yet?" asked Remus.
"Yup!" he said happily. "Voeg aan deze huis toe," they recited.
"What did you just do?" asked Charlie curiously. All of the sudden they all felt a pulling sensation. Suddenly the kitchen was much bigger.
"We added onto your house," Remus said grinning.
"Our thank you of sorts," Sirius added.
"Full house," Ron said, laying his cards down. "Cough up the Chocolate Frogs!"
