The forgotten House
By LeilaRose
Chapter One
An argument in potions
DISCLAIMER – I do not own the Marauders, however Julie Garret, Daisy Jacobs and David Andrews belong to me, they're members of Ravenclaw.
AUTHOR NOTE – I don't know why this fic came up, all I can ask is that you give it a go. It set in the Marauders time and focuses on Ravenclaw as a house, but don't worry the main characters are the Marauders, just a different perspective. They'll be romance later. All I ask is that you give it a go. Thank you
"Get up Julie or you'll be late once again" Julie Garret groaned and buried herself further into the navy blue pillow, pulling the matching duvet closer round her as she snuggled down more. This was bliss in her mind.
"No" she moaned, another Monday at Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry and as much as she loved lesson, she wasn't looking forward to this one at, she frowned that wasn't exactly true, she wasn't looking forward to the first lesson. Her best friend threw the blue curtains surrounding her bed open, and in a fluid motion pulled the covers off her, a scream cut through the air as Julie jumped up and threw the pillow at her friend, shivering as she did in the fresh air.
"Daisy how could you" she said, "I'm ill I'm not going" Daisy Jacobs rolled her blue eyes at the melodramatic girl in front of her and spoke
"Why because of what happened last Monday?" she asked, picking up the duvet and placing it back on the bed "It wasn't that bad" she continued mildly. Julie looked at her in outrage.
"Not too bad" she repeated, her voice coming out higher pitched then usual "Sirius Black and James Potter tipped their stupid potion over me and you… you saw what happened to me" she almost cried, Daisy hid a grin at the memory.
"They threw it at Snape" Daisy replied comfortingly, "They didn't know he was going to move, now don't be so silly and get dressed, potions is too important to miss especially with the OWLS not long away" Julie gave in and collected her uniform and made her way to the bathroom turning her head slightly to face her friend
"Wait for me?" she asked and Daisy nodded
"Will do" within 20 minutes they were heading down to the great hall, smartly dressed and looking presentable, as a Ravenclaw should. The noise hit them as they entered; people talking, knives and forks hitting the plate, drinks being banged on the table. Julie smiled; it was impossible to feel lonely in the hall. Daisy nudged her in the ribs and indicated upwards. She followed the gaze to see the enchanted ceiling; the smile growing as she saw the sunlight and blue sky. Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad today.
"Looking forward to potions" someone, said slyly as they sat down in their places, Julie scowled at the blond boy who had spoken
"Can't wait Dave you?" the boy flushed at her tone and frowned
"I told you my name is David, don't call me Dave" Julie nodded
"Alright then, don't ask me stupid questions and we have a deal" she helped herself to some cereal and grabbed the milk, pouring into the blue bowl when a piercing shriek cut through the air. Everyone turned to the source of the noise. Narcissa Black was holding her face and screaming, she ran from her space and to the doors, taking her hands away as she reached it. Julie and Daisy winced in sympathy. Someone certainly had done a number on her; her cheeks were swelling in a way that made it clear there was no intent of stopping it. Julie turned to look at the Gryffindor table and spotted a certain pair of black haired boys looking extremely proud of themselves and grinning away. She turned to Daisy and spoke
"No prize for guessing who are responsible for that" Daisy turned and looked at the same direction Julie had previously done and shook her head
"Should have known, 15 now and they still haven't any sense between the pair of them, the first years have more for God sake" Julie nodded
"We've only been at school 2 weeks as well" she commented, David spoke helping himself to some more toast.
"Everyone's used to it though" he commented lightly "Sirius Black and James Potter can get away with murder. The prefect of Gryffindor is Remus Lupin for Christ sake. The boy is more likely to take on the entire Slytherin house himself, alone then tell his two mates off" Daisy spoke
"I guess Professor Dumbledore chose Remus in the small chance that he could control the pair of them"
"Bad choice then" Julie remarked blandly, putting her spoon in her empty bowl "It's exactly like David said, he'll sit back and do nothing" Daisy flushed slightly
"I think you're being too hard on him" Julie turned to her, one black eyebrow raised
"If you say so" she stood up "Shall we go?" Daisy brushed the crumbs off her hands and nodded, standing up as well, with a smile at David they made their way down numerous corridors till they reached the stairs leading to the dungeons; the potions room as it now was. As they entered both noticed in shock that the Marauders were already seated. James called out to them as they made their way to their seats at the other side of the room, still frowning how did the 4 of them beat them to the room when they had come the quickest way?
"Hey Garret recovered from the potion last week? You looked slightly pink before" one hand made its way into a fist as she listened. The stupid potion they had made for Snape had turned her black locks, neon pink. Worse she had been forced to walk around with it for the rest of the day. She smiled sweetly and stuck her finger up at him.
"Feisty" Sirius commented with a laugh "You better watch it James she might curse you; or worse. Glare at you" Daisy spoke at this point
"Get Bent Black" Sirius lifted an elegant eyebrow at her
"Get bent… not likely sweetheart, the female population would probably commit a mass suicide at the news" James and Sirius burst out laughing and the little one Peter joined in.
"You wish" Julie commented, then looked at Remus who was studying a book on his table, she addressed him "You're a great prefect Remus, fantastic example on what everyone should do… Nothing" James spoke
"Leave him out of this" Sirius nodded
"It's nothing to do with him" daisy laughed
"Nothing to do with him?" she repeated scornfully, cheeks flushing in anger, she hated when people picked on other for no reason, especially when the person happened to be her best friend "That little red badge makes it his business, it's meant to make him get involved"
"Leave him be" Sirius said "Or you'll regret it" Daisy smirked
"Sure you're not bent?" she questioned. A voice spoke at this point
"What's going on here?" all of them turned round to see David looking at them through narrowed thoughtful eyes.
"Nothing" Julie said, slamming her bag on her table still glaring at the pair of them, was anyone more arrogant then they were.? James spoke roughly
"It's none of your business either Andrews"" David smiled at him mockingly.
"That's where you're wrong Potter" he said politely "This prefect badge makes it my business, especially when it concerns a fellow Ravenclaw or two, now I suggest you shut it and calm down before I give you detention and don't think I won't. I'm not Lupin" Remus looked up eyes blazing, his cheeks had turned scarlet and he looked furious, he slammed the book shut and got to his feet, attracting the others gaze to him
"Fine" he said surprising them all at the loudness of his voice, he was normally soft spoken "You want me to get involved then I will. The four of you; you Black, you Potter, you Garret and you Jacobs, detention tomorrow night with Edwards" James's and Sirius's mouths fell open at the news as they stared at their friend, while Julie and Daisy looked at each other in horror. Detention with the two of them, could it get any worse? Looking at the sullen expression of the two boys face, it looked like it definitely could.
Hope you enjoyed it, my characters aren't too bad right? Let me know, next chapter, Remus has a chat with Sirius and James and the detention happens. Please Review!
