Disclaimer: Lisa is MINE!!! Whoo!! And anyone else you people don't know.
I'm sorry it took so long to update! I've just had a ton of homework lately, so I've had no time to write. I think I might just skip the afternoon classes so I can write something for Nicole's birthday. And, even though no one really cares, I'm going to delete Maraudering Years and replace it with a character guide. Then I'll write stories that have to do with the Marauders and the characters in the guide. Okay, and, I made a small change to the story, but I couldn't add it to the Breakfast chapter. I changed the DADA professor's name to Harris, Crystal's cousin. Any way, responses:
Bellezza—You're the only person who reviewed..... Beware the colored pencils!!!!
We raced into the DADA class room and slammed the door shut. Sirius and James grabbed a couple desks and put them in front of the door. I sat on one of them, just for insurance.
"Um...excuse me?" a voice said. I looked up. There stood a woman with shoulder length straight red hair and gray eyes. "Do you think you can open the door? The rest of the class needs to get in here you know..."
I stared at her in horror. "That door?" I asked. She nodded. "There is no way I'm opening that door and letting a fiery hell come in here!!!" She stared at us like we were insane. A grin broke on her face.
"You had Potions last hour, didn't you?" We nodded. "And you wanted revenge for something, right?" Sirius and James nodded. "So," she said pulling up a chair, "what did you do?"
Remus smiled. "They shrunk Professor Malfoy and all of the Slytherins," he said. Her grin widened.
"How long do you have detention for?"
"A month, at the very least," Megan said. "Can't be much worse than ISS, can it?" They all stared at her. "In school suspension."
"Oh..." Professor Harris stood up. "What are we to do with the problem at hand?"
"I have no clue," Remus said.
"We are screwed," I said looking at the door.
"That we are," Sirius said. A thought struck him. "Oh my God......Peter's still out there....."
"Oh, he is so dead....." Nicole said. I flashed Megan a grin. She returned it. Harris got up.
"Okay, we're going to have to discuss this. Hold on a sec." She walked over to the door. "GRYFFINDOR FOURTH YEARS!!!" she yelled though the door. "GO DOWN TO THE KITCHENS!!! FOLLOW PETER PETTEGREW!!! REVENGE SEEKING SLYTHERINS, KEEP POUNDING ON THE DOOR!!!!" She walked back over to her desk. "Come sit over here," she said gesturing to the space in front of her desk. "Would you like anything to drink? Tea? Coffee? Hot coco?"
"Tea please," James said.
"Coffee," Sirius said.
"Hot coco," me, Nicole, Megan, and Remus said.
"Do you have any of those little marshmallows?" I asked.
"Of course," she said. She took out a kettle "And you six can call me Lisa, at least for now." She tapped it with her wand and it started to boil. She poured the water into six cups. "All I have is instant stuff, that's okay with you, isn't it?" she asked. We all nodded. Then a thought hit me. And, being the stupidest person I know, I asked it.
"How do you have instant tea?" Megan rolled her eyes and Nicole hit my head.
"Tea bags you idiot," she said.
"Oh yeah.....I knew that!" Nicole rolled her eyes again.
"Is she always like that?" Lisa asked.
"Unfortunately, yes," Nicole said.
"Poor you," Lisa said.
"Hey," I said, "I'm sitting right here! And for your information I'm smart!" There was a general mumble of "yeah, right, whatever." "I have an 11.7 GE!" I said desperately. They all stared at me.
"What's a GE?" Sirius asked.
"Grade equivalent," Megan said. "Or, in other words, reading level."
"But you only have a 10.5 IRL," Nicole said. I glared at her.
"Do you bloody Americans always speak in code?" James asked.
"Yes," all three of us said.
"Thought so," Remus said.
"I'm going out with a code speaking ditz," Sirius said.
"It could be worse," Remus said. "You could be going out with a code speaking ditz who's in Slytherin."
"Or she could be fat and pimply," James said.
"Or she could be a he," I said. Every one stared at me then took a step back. "What?"
"That's it," Nicole said, "I forbid you to ever read slash again."
"What's slash?" James asked.
"You don't want to know," Megan said.
"But—"
"James," Nicole said, "trust her on this one."
"I tell you later," I whispered to James. He nodded.
"Back on subject," Lisa said giving me a strange look, "what are we going to do?"
"Is it just me," Remus said, "or have they stopped pounding on the door?"
"I'll go check," Megan said. I took a sip of the hot coco.
"Mmm...." I said. "Chocolaty goodness....." Megan waked over to the door and opened it a little bit and looked down. Then a bit further. She let out a shriek and slammed to door shut.
"They found kitchen knives!" she squeaked.
"The window!" I shouted. I raced to the other side of the room and threw open the window and looked down.
"Seventy five stories Jessi," Nicole said. "Well, what are you waiting for?"
"This isn't a laughing matter Nicole," I said.
"I have an idea!" Sirius said.
"Oh God," Remus muttered. Sirius ran to the window and pulled out his wand.
"Accio brooms!" There was silence. Then six brooms soared though the window, barely missing my head. Every one grabbed a broom. I stared at the broom for a second.
"I can't fly!" There was the sound of wood splintering.
"You better hope that the ground's soft then," Lisa said mounting the broom. She flew out the window, closely followed by Sirius, James, and Remus. I turned around. Mini Slytherins were breaking though the door. I mounted the broom, closed my eyes, and jumped out the window, praying that I didn't die.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bet you thought that was the end huh? You know with the space and all? Nicole: *smacks me* Me: What was that for?! Nicole: For being an idiot. Now continue the story. Me: *mumbles* Fine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I opened my eyes. I was still alive!
"Holy shit!" Nicole cried. She was flying on my left, just as amazed as I was. Megan looked around.
"I'm flying," she said. "COOL!!!!" We attempted to catch up with everyone else, which didn't really work.
"So," I asked after we landed, "what are we gonna do?"
"I don't know," Lisa said, "but there's a door some where around here." She found the door quickly. "Come on, we can go to my office."
"Sounds like a plan," Nicole said. We walked for a couple minutes before Remus stopped.
"What is it?" James asked.
"Shh!" Remus said. Then I heard it. A small pitter-patterish sound. I turned around, dreading what I was to see. There were literally hundreds of small, knife carrying Slytherins. It was all Sirius's fault. I could see it on his face.
"I'm going to kill you," I said to him.
"I can live with that," he said.
"Run!" Megan shouted. And we were off again.
I took out my wand. Oh God, I hoped this worked. I pointed it behind me and yelled "STUPIFY!"
"Why didn't I think of that?" James said. He took out his wand and followed my lead. Pretty soon, curses were flying.
"Though here!" I heard Sirius yell. I ran though the door he held open. As soon as I got though he slammed the door shut and we were thrown into darkness.
"Lumos," I heard Lisa whisper. Light filled the room. It appeared to have walls made of stone, which would hold, unless...
"Oh, God," I said, slightly panicking.
"What?" Sirius asked.
"They still have their wands, don't they?"
"We have to continue on," James said. We started down a corridor leading off of the room.
"Where does this lead?" I asked.
"The Gryffindor common room," Lisa said. Sirius stared at her.
"How'd you know?" he asked.
"I'm the reason this corridor is here," she said. "In my seventh year, about two years before you started here, I figured there had to be a faster way to get away form Filch. So, me and one of my friends, Cecelia, who was in her first year, mapped out this corridor, then I magicked it here."
"You mean Cassie's sister?" Remus asked. Lisa nodded. "I'm proud of her, she's got a loving husband, nice house, good job, and, from what I understand, Cassie's gonna be an aunt."
"Who's Cassie?" I asked.
"One of us. A Marauder," Remus said. "She was sick on the train so she was able to floo to Hogwarts. Her sister told the diver that she wasn't up to the ride, she had the flu or something," he added. "She might not be too happy about you going after Sir—" he stopped himself. "About you taking her bed," he finished lamely.
"She likes him," I said. "That's okay. We might be here only for a year anyway. Plenty of room for changes." We walked in silence for a few minutes. "Do you think I'll like her?"
"You'll love her," Sirius said.
"Oh God, why does everything sound so screwed up nowadays?" I said.
"I have no clue," Nicole said.
"Here we are," Lisa said. She pushed one of the bricks and the wall slid back. There was the Gryffindor common room. We stepped out of the corridor and into the common room. Just as we got in the portrait swung open and there stood a tall, black haired girl.
"Hi," she said.
"Are you feeling better?" Lisa asked.
"A bit, but I'm going to be going to bed. Right after I introduce myself," she said noticing me and Nicole and Megan. "Castella Morgan," she said.
"Jessica, but I prefer Jessi, Morgan," I said.
"Morgan's a popular name, isn't it?" she said.
"I'm Nicole Summers," Nikki said, "and this is my sister, Megan."
"Well, if you'll excuse me, I think I'll be going to bed," Castella said. She walked up the stairs. Three seconds later she came back down. "Whose stuff is by my bed?" she asked. I raised my hand. She smiled. "You don't mind if I sleep there any way, do you?"
"No," I said.
"Okay, well, good night, or afternoon," she said. "And, Professor, if you're going to be heading back to your class room, or anywhere, watch out for the knife wielding mini Slytherins." She walked back up the stairs. Lisa bit her lip.
"How am I going to get out of here?"
"The potion wear's off in a few hours," Sirius said.
"Not that life size knife wielding Slytherins are much better," Megan said.
"We. Are. Screwed," I said.
