caught up in reading the journal that they read about Remus's secret.
ONWARD!
*****************The Next Day*******************
Julia: Okay guys. I'm gonna read more a the journal.
Rachel & Piper: YAY!
Shanna: Hey, I wanna read today!
Julia: I found the journal! Besides it's MY dad's journal.
Shanna: FINE! I'm leaving. *Starts to walk away* Oh! I can't leave. It's too interesting.
Julia: Anyways,
Sept. 30th 1980 Dear Journal,
Tonight, I have a date with Lily. I'm taking her out to the Hogwarts gardens then we're going to watch the star under the full moon. WAIT!!! The full moon? Oh no! The date will have to end after the gardens. I have to make sure Remus drinks his wolf's bane or he'll attack everyone! Oh, I never mentioned, Remus, on full moons, turns into a werewolf. It has to stay secret or I'm no longer a marauder. OH! The marauders I never.
Rachel: STOP!
Shanna: What's wrong?
Piper: Wait a minute, Remus is your dad! That means that his werewolf genes have passed on to you and you turn werewolf at full moons to!
Rachel: Oh no! I guess my secret's out.
Julia: You mean you weren't going to tell us?
Rachel: My dad told me not to. And anyways it's new moon that I change.
Julia: Oh. Well I'll keep reading.
The marauders, I never told you about them! I'm Prongs, Remus is Moony (get it full moons), Sirius is Padfoot, and Peter is Wormtail. Since Moony is a werewolf, Padfoot, Peter, and me are all animaguses. I'm a stag, Padfoot's a dog, and Wormtail's a rat. Well I must be going. I have to have things ready for my date with Lily.
James
Oct. 5 1980 Dear journal,
I haven't wrote because I've been so depressed. The date with Lily was so horrible. In the gardens we were talking when suddenly I accidentally brought up the Marauders. She asked about them and I couldn't ruin the secret and explain, so I cast the memory charm on her and when her mind was rid of that thought, she saw the wand pointed at her and she screamed and ran off. I saw her later with Sirius. She was crying! Later that night, Sirius came up to me and said how upset she was that I was going to cast a spell on her so I had to tell Sirius how I accidentally brought up the Marauders and erased that thought from her mind. He said I should talk to Lily. I haven't yet but I don't know what to say! Well, I gotta go now.
James
Shanna: Wow, your mom must've been upset.
Julia: I know.
Piper: All this talk about the marauders has got me interested.
Rachel: How so?
Piper: Well, we know who some marauders are, but we don't know what a marauder is or what they do.
Shanna: Yeah. Read more! Maybe then we'll find out.
Julia: But I already read three.
Rachel: So?
Julia: Well I guess we could read three more. It wouldn't hurt.
Oct. 7 1980 Dear journal,
I never really told you what us marauders do. By the way I talked to Lily and she understands now. Anyways, marauders go around the school and pull pranks on all the students and teachers they don't like whenever they can. We also are trusted to keep secrets told amongst ourselves such as the one about Moony. Also a marauder is someone who can be counted on in their group of friends and I mean they can be counted on for just about anything. We're about to have a meeting now so I have to go.
James
Oct. 8 1980 Dear journal,
The meeting was so much fun! We turned Malfoy's hair bright pink and Snape's bright green. Then we put a sign on Snape and Malfoy's backs. Malfoy's said Hello my name is Squiddle-doodle and Snape's said I'm a bug squish me. All day everyone, except the Slytherins, were going Hi Squiddle- doodle to Malfoy and hitting Snape upside the head. Tomorrow we strike Crabbe and Goyle with kick me signs, because people in Hogwarts kick very hard. Next week we go to Hogsmeade. I have to get Lily something very special. Gotta go now!
James
Oct. 12 1980 Dear journal,
I n three days we go to Hogsmeade and I have to stock up on canary creams, acid lollipops, ton-tongue toffee, and joke stuff at Zonko's. I'm gonna get Lily a ring or something that will last forever. Um. I have nothing else to write.
James
Shanna: So, now that we know what they do, Pansy, I think you had an idea to share with us.
Piper: Well, *starts to twiddle thumbs* I was thinking. Being a marauder sounds like fun and personally, I'd like to, well I mean I wanna,
Rachel: Spit it out!
Julia: Yeah come on! Or I'll say my idea first.
Piper: You have an idea to?
Rachel: So do I.
Shanna: Me to.
Julia: I think we all have the same idea, but since Piper was talking first, she gets to finish.
Piper: Well, I. I. I wanna be a marauder!
Other 3: Me too!
Julia: Well full moon is tomorrow.
Rachel: I got it! Ten minutes before midnight tomorrow, someone goes around and makes sure everyone gets out safely from their house without being caught and we go to our secret treehouse in those woods by the lake.
Shanna: But we haven't been there for over a year.
Julia: Actually, I go there once a week.
Piper: Once a month for me.
Rachel: Every other week.
Shanna: Every other day.
Julia: No wonder everything keeps getting rearranged.
Shanna: Hey, can I go around and get everyone out of their house?
Other 3: Sure.
Shanna: Cool.
Piper: But we have to organize it. Like, we have to make a secret drink, something that symbols who we are, a contract with rules, the marauders map, and we should bring the journal.
Rachel: Yeah.
Julia: All agree?
Other 3: Yeah!
Julia: Wait! Who has the marauders map?
Piper: Um. last I heard it was Fred and George Weasley.
Rachel: No. Actually they gave it to your brother, Julia.
Julia; I'll sneak it from him then. Now for symbols, since we all got permits our 4th year at Hogwarts to do magic over the summer, we can magically make them. Rachel, you want to?
Rachel: Sure.
Shanna: And I could make a contract.
Rachel: So that's the map, contract, symbols, and journal. Now all we need is the secret drink.
Piper: I can make it!
Julia: All right but tomorrow tell us what's in it, but after we drink it. And test it until it tastes good.
Piper: All right.
*****************The Next Day*******************
Julia: Okay so is everything ready?
Shanna: I got the contract.
Piper: The drink is delicious!
Rachel: I made the symbols.
Julia: I managed to get the map, I have the journal, and. Oh no!
Other 3: WHAT?
Julia: We need black robes. PLAIN black robes.
Shanna: Easy. I have two.
Piper: I got one.
Rachel: I have one.
Julia: Shan?
Shanna: Yes you can borrow a robe.
Julia: Thanks. So everything's set, right?
Other 3: Yep.
********************Midnight********************
Shanna walks over to Piper's and sees her window is open. So in a loud whisper she calls out.
Shanna: Piper! Piper!
Piper: *walks over to window*
Shanna: Come on we gotta get.
Piper's mom: Piper? Are you sleeping?
Piper: Yes mom! *giggles quietly*
Piper's mom: Okay!
Piper: *climbs out window* My mom is so dumb.
Shanna: She thinks you're asleep?
Piper: Yeah.
Both: *giggle quietly*
Shanna: Let's get Julia
Piper: Duh!
They walk over to Julia's house where they find her already climbing out of the house. So the three girls in their black robes set off to Rachel's.
Rachel: *sees them coming a climbs out her window* I'm ready.
They head to the treehouse and go up.
AF: I must stop. Tomorrow read about the ceremony they hold.
