Chapter 7
Monday morning began with AD History of Magic. Everybody, except Remus, was waiting for Professor Binns. Professor Binns was an old wizard and his classes were as boring as hell. When he came in there was something different about him. Halfway through the class Sirius pushed his finger into the air.
"Yes Mr. White?"
"It's Black sir, and well you're a ghost."
"I don't like to be interrupted for something so insignificant Mr. Purple."
Everybody snickered, but soon they were all half asleep.
~~~~~~
Finally class was over.
"Hé Purple, do you think Dumbledore will get a new teacher, one who can give an interesting class?"
"Don't think so and it's B-L-A-C-K, Figg."
"Irritated, Padfoot?"
"Yeah, I'm just being honest for one, and than I get this."
"You know Binns is a crab-apple."
"Did I hear it right, Lily Evans calling a teacher a crab-apple."
"No, Lily Evans telling the truth."
"Whatever, we have to get to AD Care for Magical Creatures."
"This should be fun."
"Not really, Bella. We know all the creatures in the forest and books."
"Why Padfoot?"
"Hé, you called me Padfoot."
"So, that doesn't answer my question."
"We had to pick a creature to become an Animagi, remember?"
"Sounds logical. Hé there's Moony."
Today Care for Magical Creatures was boring, not as boring as History of Magic, but still B-O-R-I-N-G. After that they had lunch and after lunch Lily, James and Sirius had double AD Arithmacy, Remus and Bella double Divination and Peter double Muggle Studies.
"We'll see you after class in the library."
"James Potter in a library, that must be the first time in your whole live."
"No, most of my summer break I spent in our familys library, just to avoid my parents. I just say I have homework and just go there and read or look for a new prank."
"Can we hurry up, I don't want to be late."
"Sirius Black doesn't want to be late, what is it with you guys today. I thought you were trying to break the record of most detentions?"
"I am, but I want my time to sleep today. I've been wrestling a werewolf al night and lost a bet."
"What?"
"We'll tell you about it later. Now lets get to class."
~~~~~~
After classes were over the Marauders, Lily and Bella met in the library. They had homework for History of Magic, Divination and Muggle Studies. Arithmacy had been an introduction lesson, so no homework. Lily was the only one with notes of History of Magic, so everybody wanted to copy.
"Stop fighting. I have an idea. If you do your homework, I'll copy first, then two other people can copy and then the last to."
"Brilliant Prongs, but why would you be the first to copy and not any of us."
"Because I thought of it, Padfoot."
"That is reasonable and anyway, these are my notes, so I say who can copy first and I say James can."
James stuck out his tongue to Sirius, who copy him. This made everybody laugh and they continued with there homework. Sirius and Peter copied the notes as soon as James was ready. When they were finished and handed the notes over to Remus and Bella, Lily got up and walked over to the transfiguration section of the library.
"What ya doing, Lil?"
"You know I suck at Transfiguration and we have it first thing tomorrow, but you already know that. So I just want to prepare."
Bella got out here schedule.
"Shit, you're right. I'd like to prepare to, but I'm stuck with this Divination paper."
"Moony can help you with that and we're top of the class at Transfiguration so I'm more willing to help if you got a problem Lils."
"That's sweet, Prongs. You can help me prepare, if you finished your homework."
"Ready."
Sirius had problems to hide his laugh, the others just grinned.
"Oke, you win. Now please, help."
"At your service, Miss."
~~~~~~
Weeks passed and the friendship between the Marauders, Lily and Bella grew and grew. They admitted their crushes and would go to Hogsmeade together as a date. James and Lily had grown really close, but still acted like James never said he loved her. They were teamed up in most of their classes because they were top of the class. The Marauders were still bugging Snape, once he got a pomegrenate, witch blew up in his face when he took a bite. He got a bottle shampoo by owl and he confessed his undying love for Fungus and McGonagall. The day before Hogsmeade James and Lily sat in the common room doing their homework, Sirius and Peter were serving detention and Remus and Bella just disappeared.
"Hé Lily, how are we going to arrange the music at the ball? Everybody wants someone else to come and sing."
"What about a stereo? It's a Muggle thing that plays music. That way we can play any kind of music the students want."
"My friends say I'm a genius, but you're one to."
"Thanks."
"Tomorrow Hogsmeade, what are you going to do?"
"Don't know, Bella is going with Remus, so I don't really have someone to go with."
"Come with the rest of us, than at lest you won't be alone."
"I'll do that, thanks."
"How's your Transfiguration paper coming?"
"Not that good, could you help me?"
"Sure. You definitely got better."
"Thanks to you. You really know this stuff well."
"I'm an Animagi, I have to know this."
Lily smiled, James really changed, but he still wouldn't tell what had happened during summer break. Lily didn't want to push him to far, she liked James and her being friends and didn't want to lose their friendship.
~~~~~~
Lily and James had just gotten up to go to bed when Bella and Remus returned.
"Where have you been?"
"Bugging Padfoot and Wormtail."
"I never expected you to do that, Bella."
"There are more things you don't expect from me, Lily."
"Know when there'll be finished, Moony."
"Midnight, but I'm not sure, Prongs."
"Well, I'm not waiting for them, come on Moony, we're going to bed."
"Great friends you are."
"We're not the ones with detention Lily."
"True."
"Well than and don't forget there's a Quidditch match tomorrow."
"Sirius is on the team to."
"I know, I'm the captain remember, but he's beater and we got two of them. I'm seeker and I need my rest or we'll lose the match."
"Prongs, you never lost a match, even if it was after full moon."
"That doesn't mean I don't need my rest, Moony."
"Whatever."
"Busy day tomorrow, first Quidditch and than Hogmeade."
"Nothing we can't handle, Bella."
"Night guys."
"Night girls."
~~~~~~
James and Remus must have been asleep when their friends returned, because the couldn't remember them coming back. It took them some time to get Sirius to wake up, but when he finally came out of bed, he was hyperactive.
"Must be the Quidditch match."
"Maybe, Moony, but whatever it is, it's good for us, now he'll hid extra hard."
"I almost feel sorry for Slytherin."
"Wormtail!"
"I said ALMOST."
"What's it."
Peter wasn't the only one who almost felt sorry for Slytherin. The Slytherin Quiddith team was looking rather pale. They had once before played against a hyperactive Sirius and it wasn't pretty. More than half of the team ended up in hospital wing. Gryffindor on the other hand was celebrating, with a hyperactive Sirius it would be really hard to lose.
"Team, to the changing-room."
The Gryffindor Quidditch team got up and followed James out of the Great Hall, well everybody except Sirius, he was already halfway to the Quidditch Pitch. (A/N: I said he was hyperactive :P)
"Good luck James."
"Thanks, Lily."
~~~~~~
When they arrived Sirius had already changed into his Quidditch robes. The others changes as quick as possible and followed James onto the Quidditch field. Everybody cheered, except Slytherin. Both teams faced each other, Slytherin still looking pale. There was a whistle and both teams flew into the air.
"And there off. Black is hyperactive so Slytherin better watch out. Ouch that must hurt. I told you Black was hyperactive and keeper Butcher is hit by a Blutcher and first out of the game. Gryffindor has a free passage to score and 10-0 for Gryffindor."
"Quaffle is in Slytherins possession, there's Beater Bell, he doesn't have much to do with Black around, but that doesn't mean he's not playing. Malfoy has the Quaffle, gets hid by two Bludgers, still sits on his broom, but lost the Quaffle to Wood. Wood spurts to the hoops, dodges a Bludger and a Beaters bat (Where did that one come from?) and SCORES!"
"20-0"
"Two chasers, Crab and Goyle, now know what it is to face a hyperactive Black and are out of the game. Malfoy is on his one to face three Chasers. O'Brian has the Quaffle and closes in on the hopes. Oh no he's gonna miss. No he scored thanks to a Bludgers form Black."
"30-0"
"Potter saw the Snitch and both Beaters from Slytherin, Black (Bellatrix) and Blue, are out of the game thanks to Black."
"There goes the Slytherin Seeker, Snatch, go Black."
"Potter is closing in on the Snitch, just a few more inches. Go Potter!"
"Potter caught the Snitch, Griffindor wins the game with 180-0 and Slytherin got only one player left, thanks to Black. This must be a new record."
"Good job, Padfoot."
"Thanks Prongs, but you did well yourself too, now lets get ready for Hogmeade! We're gonna party."
A/N: Thank you all for reviewing. A special thanks to lil'quilly for sending me the names of the subjects. The story will go faster from here, else it will become long-winded and I may not come to the end, or I get a writhers block. I already know where the story will end, I just have to get there.
