Predictions
My first Harry Potter fic!!! Argh!!! This coming from the girl who CANNOT STAND the Harry Movies, WRITING A HP FIC! WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO???
Mind you, technically, its not a Harry fic. It's a Marauder's fic. Y'know, Remus, Sirius, James and good ol' Peter, while they're at school. I'm guessing on sixth year maybe.. I really am losing my mind, eh?
DISCLAIMER: I don't own these characters, they belong to JK Rowling. And Skye belongs to Mieko Belle, a genius. Even if I'm using thwe character differently. But as for Mieko.... read her fics!!They rule! (as long as you can tolerate a bit of slash...)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A rat, a traitor, a murderer A dog, loyal and true to the end A deer, proud and brave, but destined to be prey.
The Dark Hunter will divide them all.
Three friends, until the prey is slain.
The deer will die to fight his hunter. The dog will die to defend the faun. The rat will live to serve his master. All for a child who is not yet born.
The Common Room
"Moony! MOOOOOOOOOOOOONY!"
"Whaaat?" Remus looked up, distracted from his homework. Not that his research on Grindylows was the most entertaining thing on the planet, but he needed to get it done, or his teacher would probably hex him. He looked up at James, who had just raced across the common room, crashing into several small first years on the way.
"Have you HEARD who Wormtail is going to the Yule Ball with?!" James was obviously having trouble keeping a straight face.
Remus sighed and put his quill down, thinking of the oddest possible combinations.
"I dunno," he said, after a minute. "Not that spotty girl in Slytherin?"
"Even better," said James, a cruel smile breaking out across his face. "Sybil Trelawney."
"WHAT?!" Remus had opened his mouth, but the words had come from Sirius, who has walked up behind them. "That bug-eyed girl in seventh year? The one with glasses and beads?"
"Yeah! Apparently she's so utterly crap at her subjects, she got held back twice in second year." James was leaning on the chair, shaking with laughter. Even Remus had to laugh.
"Well, it sure is an. interesting couple." he said.
Sirius made a noise at the back of his throat. "I don't think interesting is the word.Hey!! Worm!! WORMY! WHATS THIS ABOUT YOU AND THAT FREAK TRELAWNEY?"
Peter, who had just slunk into the common room, cringed.
"Well..."
"I can't BELIEVE you'd go with that bat, Worm!" Sirius bounded over, and thumped him on the arm.
"Yeah, come on, I mean, we know you're desperate, but Trelawney? Please, have some dignity!" James was still clutching the arm of the chair for support.
"Guys, come on.. leave off." Wormtail looked down in embarrassment - half the common room was listening.
"No, but seriously Worm," said James, fighting back his laughter. " Did she ask you, or did you ask her?"
"Come on, leave off.."
"No!! C'mon, its just too funny.."
"Guys.."
"S'ok Peter. we wont laugh.. promise." James stuffed his fist in his mouth."
"Hey, you two, give him a break." Remus stood up, and elbowed his friends. "I mean, its not that bad.."
"Yes it is.." James was still sniggering
"Yeah, come on Prongs, leave off now, alright?" Sirius had managed to recover from his laughing fit. "Anyway, hot shot, who're you going with?" James suddenly became serious. He glanced in the direction of a pretty girl, being consoled by her friends.
"I dunno.I might ask Evans."
"Lilly?" snorted Remus. "Dude, she hates you."
"Thanks for the encouragement, Moon."
"No, go on Prongs, ask her! I know she just got turned down by that prat Amos Digger, or whatever his name is, in Hufflepuff. She might say yes." Wormtail was desperate to save face.
"Yeah, yeah, I might. Hang on" James was about to holler across the room to Lilly, who was still recovering from her recent rebuff by Diggory, when he felt a hand on his arm.
"Don't yell at her, you antler-headed fool. Be suave.subtle." Sirius put on a air of sophistication. James raised his eyebrows.
"This, coming from the guy who probably sniffs other dogs' butts."
Sirius gave him a withering look, but Remus looked thoughtful.
"He's got a point though James. Go up to her, compliment her, ask her nicely. She might just say yes." He gave James a nudge. "Go on."
James shrugged, and turned to go. "Wait. Who are you guys asking?"
Wormtail immediately blushed again, but Sirius looked rather proud.
"Skye," he said, his smile growing.
Remus, James and Peter all felt their jaws drop.
"Skye Summers?!" squeaked Peter, in shock.
"Good God," breathed James. "How do you do it, Padfoot?"
"Like I said, my dear Prongs," said Sirius, grinning. "Be smooth."
With this in mind, James looked over at Lilly and her friend, and walked towards them purposefully. Sirius turned to the other two.
"We all know about Worm's predicament, but who's our favourite werewolf going with?" Sirius cocked is head to one side, inquisitively, like a dog, with his hair flopping sideways, just like a dog's ears.
Remus smiled mournfully. "Ah, the perils of being a werewolf with a social life. It'll be a full moon, remember? I'm going to be in the Shack." He said softly.
"Ah, yeah, of course. Sorry mate, I forgot you wouldn't be there."
"S'ok. Not really my thing anyway."
Sirius patted him on the back, and suddenly noticed Peter's absence.
"Where'd the rat go?" he asked, but before Remus could answer, James bounded over, grinning all over his face.
"I take it that went well then." Said Remus, smiling and sitting back in front of his homework.
"You bet."
"How much did you have to pay her?" joked Sirius, nudging James in the ribs, maybe a little too hard.
"Oi! I'll teach you to insult my love life!" cried James, swinging a punch at Sirius, who responded by blocking it neatly and trying to get James in a headlock. They walked across the common room to the dormitory, still fighting, and Remus could hear them going all the way up the corridor. He smiled, picturing James's hair standing up on end even more than usual.
He looked at his parchment. Right. Back to those Grindylows...
