A/N: Sorry for making you all to wait this long…here's the action pack chapter…it gets a little dark by the end!

"The first duel of the day will be between the Lily Potter's team vs. Marcia Patil's team," Fandburgs (the Studies of Ancient Runes Prof.) announced, "Good luck girls!!!"

Lily felt very nervous but she worked hard at covering it up, glancing at Rose and Vanessa, who incredibly enough looked totally calm and ready to kick some butt.

"Let's kick some Ravenclaw butt!" Rose hissed dangerously!

Having Rose there beside her, gave Lily some kind of comfort knowing of her tough girl rep! She took a deep breath as she bowed, and the second she heard the tick of the clock she screamed out her hex, pointing her wand straight at Marcia's head! When the shock was over Lily realized she and her teammates had managed to knock all of their opponents out with the first shot, so she jumped up and started screaming in joy with the rest of her team.

"Wow! That was great you guys! 1 shot and you get em out! Nice!" Remus said giving the girls a big smile, but soon the smile was faded away, since the Slytherin girls had just beaten the Hufflepuffs, "I hate to say this, but they ain't so bad!"

"Whatever, too bad their not good enough to beat us!!! Everyone knows the Gryffindors are the best and we 3 are the best Gryffindor duelers in our grade…I for one refuse to be worried!!!" Rose said taking off her black leather jacket.

"I agree, we're half way to making it to the next level, there is no way those snobby little losers are gonna stand in OUR way!!!" Vanessa said nodding, as she too took of her jacket, funny thing was all three girls had army shirts underneath!

* * *

"Cool were against another Gryffindor group!" Remus said feeling a little nervous, this was after all there first fight.

"YEAH!!! It's that Kyle guy, Ty and that artist dude Chainsaw!" James said too excited in Remus' opinion.

"aaah," Peter screamed softly looking terrified.

"Hey Potter, you and your boys are dead!" Ty called.

"You wish man! But since we're all Gryffindors here we might just go easy on ya!" James called back.

"I gotta admit you can talk the talk, but let's see if you can walk the walk!" Ty called back.

"Shut the hell up Ty, we don't need to explain how we're gonna kill the little 1st years!" Chainsaw smirked.

"We'll show who the 1st years are!" Remus called out.

"Let's get 'em!" James said grinning confidently.



The second they heard the tick on the clock, James and Remus were ready they got Ty and Kyle, but Chainsaw was too fast and he got Peter in a flash. James could now see why so many girls were head over hills for him, even the older ones. He was so fast, he'd dodge every hex or curs they sent at him, and then send his own that James and Remus had to work hard to miss…James got the feeling they were going to lose and in the first round. We're gonna lose, James thought as a curst missed him by a hair, NO! Came another voice in his head, there is two of you and only one of him, use your brain man!

"Remus! I'll hit him from rite you from left! Count in your head and every time you his a multiple of three send out a curse to his right a few inches away from him!" James cried out.

Every few seconds both Marauders threw hexes at chainsaw one from left and 1 from right…and before they knew it they'd hit him so many times he fell to the ground!!!!!

"WE WON!!!!" Remus cried out as he and James hugged like there was no tomorrow, "We beat Chainsaw!"

"MARAUDER PRIDE!" James yelled out to the crowd who cheered so loud James was surprised the windows didn't shatter!

After the nurse had cured Peter, he too joined in the celebration as now the Marauders watched a match between Hufflepuff and Slytherin. James and Remus looked in horror as Malfoy, Snape and Rosier used very dangerous hexes on the other boys and won within seconds.

Remus and James looked at each other their faces full of anger and determination, while Peter stood next to them trembling with fear. Incredibly enough before the sizzling anger in James' stomach was gone it was their tern against the Slytherins.

"Yo Potter, Lupin…you're dead! We're gonna fucking kill you!!!!" Malfoy called to them.

"And enjoy every second of it!" Snape laughed harshly.

"Yo guys, cool it," Rosier said, "the we won't kill them, they'll die by themselves from the embarrassment after we wipe the floor with their face!"

"Do you guys ever shut up!" James called out.

"You want to beat us then you better be ready to fight harder than you'd ever dream…because we're not about to lose!!!" Remus called.

"Hn, you Gryffindors are two goody-two-shoes to have a chance to win!" Malfoy said sneering.

"Your right, we're not evil like you stupid gits…we've got skill though, unlike you of course!" James smiled confidently and Remus nodded at him and both of them patted Peter's back, "We've got you're back buddy, just send out as many curses as you can!"

"J-James…I-I-I can't," Peter started shaking even harder and Remus gave James a pained look and another nod.

"Just think that they've got Sirius and we have to get him back…or we're all gonna die!" James said, "think of the time they stole your wand!"

"grr," Peter was starting to get angrier and angrier as James whispered thinks to him…and as soon as the clock had clicked, Peter started spraying out hexes all over the place and incredibly enough he managed to knock Malfoy out!

Snape however smirked and used a really harsh hex that knocked Peter out in the first hit! James could feel his ears burning as he watched his friend fall to the ground and started throwing hexes only at Snape, and didn't realize that Remus was hit until Snape fell to the ground.

"Moony!" James cried.

"James I'm fine…I can still fight," Remus groaned, but stood up straight shacking slightly from pain, and dogging a hex from Rosier.

"Lets get him the way we got Chainsaw!"

"No! he's already seen that trick…I got a better idea—" but that second Remus got hit again and this time he fell to his knees.

"You're so dead Rosier!" James cried spraying out hexes out so fast he didn't even know half the things he cried out.

"James wait…you won't get him like this…he's drugged, that's why he is so fast! I can see it in his moves…there is a weakness to the potion he took! If you can move up close enough to him, he won't be able to see you too well and his reaction time to you is gonna decrease a whole lot!"

"But he'll hit me before I get close enough…" James said still dodging more hexes, but to his surprise Remus trembling real hard now got off his knees and got to his feet!

"I'll keep him busy!" the determined look in his eyes gave James a feeling that told him he was gonna make it, so without saying another word he made his way towards Rosier.

Every step James took made him feel more and more vulnerable, but incredibly enough Remus was keeping Rosier so busy his hexes towards James we easy to dodge…but then James heard a cry, and realized Remus had been hit again, he was now expecting the worst and getting ready to be hit, when he realized there were hexes still being shot at Rosier! James felt a new feeling of rush run over him and began to ran towards Rosier not caring if he got hit and when he was a bout a foot away he pointed his wand out and started spraying Rosier with hexes…and this time it work he got hit over and over till he got knocked out!

James felt the blood finally rush to his head and quickly turned away and ran towards Remus, just before he fell to the ground.

"We won!" Remus said in a dreamy sort of triumphant voice.

"Yeah! You were great…watching you fight till the very end gave me strength to do it! I probably would have been knocked out before I got anywhere near him if it weren't for you," James said wiping sweat and blood off Remus' forehead, as he watched a nurse take care of Peter and make her way towards Remus.



A/N: the real fights haven't even began! Next chapter is gonna get a bit darker…and something really strange is gonna happen…but I'm not telling!!! ^_~
