Marauder Mayhem

Disclaimer: Yeah, I obviously don't own any HP stuff. you all know that cuz you're not stupid, and even if ya are, it's okay! However, I do own Raven McKinnon and a few other made up characters along the way.

Songs: Sometimes I have songs that a character is listening to, singing, or dancing to. In this chapter there is, "Hide Your Love" by Jonny Lang. If you people don't know who Jonny Lang is, you need to buy his newest CD, Long Time Coming, or at least try to download some of his songs. You'll fall in love. It's so amazing!

A/N: SORRY IF ANY OF YOU WERE DISAPPOINTED WITH CHAPTER 26 ACTUALLY BEING CHAPTER 11. I'VE BEEN SO BUSY WITH SCHOOL AND PUPPETS AND VALENTINE'S DAY AND I WANTED TO UPDATE BEFORE I WENT AWAY FOR THE WEEKEND, BUT THAT WAS ALL I HAD DONE. I SHOULD BE GETTING BACK TO NORMAL HERE AND I'M TRYING TO WORK ON REWRITING RENEGADES, TOO. IN CASE ANY OF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WITH RENEGADES, ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS GAVE ME THE FIRST TWO CHAPTERS OF IT ON A DISK AND TOLD ME TO REWRITE IT PUTTING RAVEN IN IT. I DID, AND THEN I FOUND OUT AFTER I HAD POSTED IT THAT IT ACTUALLY WASN'T WRITTEN BY MY BEST FRIEND, IT WAS WRITTEN BY METRODWELLER ON FANFICTION.NET. SO IF YOU LIKED RENEGADES, I BET YOU'LL FIND SOME SIMILARITIES IF YOU READ "SOMEWHERE WARM" BY METRODWELLER...ACTUALLY, YOU'LL FIND ALMOST THE EXACT SAME FIRST TWO CHAPTERS CUZ I THOUGHT I HAD PERMISSION TO USE THEM. ANYWAYS, I EMAILED METRODWELLER EXPLAINING EVERYTHING, SO WE'RE COOL NOW. SHE EVEN GAVE ME PERMISSION TO KEEP WRITING IT, BUT I WANT TO CHANGE THE FIRST TWO CHAPTERS SO THEY'RE NOT PLAGAIRIZING HERS. IF YOU DO READ HER FANFIC AND REVIEW IT, TELL HER I SENT YOU CUZ I FEEL SO BAD THAT THIS HAPPENED AND I WANT TO MAKE IT UP TO HER. SORRY FOR THE LONG AUTHOR'S NOTE, ON TO CHAPTER 26...

Chapter 26 - October 23rd

"Padfoot," James lightly shook Sirius' shoulder.

Sirius rolled over on his back, still asleep, mumbling, "Are you gonna eat that?...Careful with that hammer...The sea monkey has my money..."

(A/N: SORRY, MY COUSIN'S WATCHING FINDING NEMO WHILE I'M TRYING TO WRITE.)

James rolled his eyes and shook him more forcefully, "Sirius!"

Sirius shot up in bed, "I didn't do it!"

"Raven didn't come to breakfast and neither did you. Is she under there somewhere?"

Rubbing his eyes, Sirius was suddenly awake. "I haven't seen her since last night in the common room." Adjusting his sweatpants, he jumped out of bed and threw on a t-shirt. "Let's go check her room."

James followed Sirius down the stairs. Sirius tapped the wall and Lucy's portrait appeared.

"Rave in there?" he asked her.

Lucy answered, "Well hello, Sirius. She's not feeling well; she's asleep."

"Can we see her, please?" asked James.

The portrait slid up and the two of them entered. Raven was snoring loudly and since she didn't usually snore, James and Sirius guessed she had a cold. Sirius sat on the edge of the bed next to her and pushed her hair off of her face. She groaned slightly and opened her eyes.

"Hi," he said. "You sick?"

Raven yawned and rolled onto her back. "I dink I caught someding ad pracdice lasd nighd." Her nose was stuffed up, making her words distorted. (She said, "I think I caught something at practice last night," just in case you didn't get it.)

Sirius and James both gave a little laugh. "C'mon, we'll take you down to the hospital wing?" asked Sirius.

Raven sat up quickly. "Doh! Pomfrey'll jusd gib me some disgusding potion da drink and id won'd help ad all. And den she won'd led me see anyone, and I dink I'll jusd sday here." She laid back down and rolled back over on her side. ("No, Pomfrey'll just give me some disgusting potion to drink and it won't help at all. And then she won't let me see anyone, and I think I'll just stay here.")

"Okay. Want me to stay with you?"

Raven shook her head. "I'm jusd gonna sleep all day." (I think you can figure that one out.)

"I'll sleep with you," he said, earning a disgusted stare from James. "You know what I mean, Prongs."

"Do whad you wand," she replied, scooting over to the other side of the bed. ("Do what you want.")

Sirius climed in with her and pulled up the covers around her.

"What about me?" whined James.

Moving over a little more, Sirius patted the empty space next to him. James made a motion to get in but then pulled back and laughed.

"No room. I guess I'll hafta go to class."

The portrait opened again and Lily, Remus, and Peter walked in.

"Ooh, sick day?" asked Remus.

"Raven doesn't feel good," explained Sirius.

"And I suppose you don't either?"

"I feel fine; I'm keeping her company." He glanced at the alarm clock by her bed. "You guys are gonna be late. Don't forget to take down everything Pitstain says for us. You know I hang on his every word."

"It's Pintaine!" corrected Lily.

"Isn't that what I said?" asked Sirius, trying not to grin.

(A/N: THAT WAS FROM AN EPISODE OF FRIENDS, HEHE.)

"Have a nice nap," said Peter as the portrait opened and they all exited.

"Feel better, Rave," added Lily.

"Dank you." She turned to Sirius. "Maybe you should jusd go do class. I jusd feel like sleeping."

"Okay, that's getting annoying. At least let me sneak down to the hospital wing and get some decongestant potion."

"Okay." Raven reached under her pillow and pulled out her invisibility cloak.

Sirius took the cloak and whipped it around his shoulders, making only his head visable. "I'll be right back," he said as he leaned down to peck her on the lips before becoming completely invisible and leaving the room. A few minutes later, he threw off the invisibility cloak to find Raven snoring loudly again. He smiled as he sat on the bed and lifted her upper body up to lean against him. She didn't wake, she simply snuggled into his chest and grasped his t-shirt like a blanket. Sirius rolled his eyes up into his head as he felt her breath on his neck. A shiver went down through his body and he blushed as he realized her right breast was pressed up against his side and her left was resting on him. She was wearing one of those sporty black spagetti string tops. He ran his fingers down her arm before he shook her gently. She took a sharp breath in and lifted her head a few inches off of his chest.

"How'd you ged here?" she asked, smiling up at him.

He decided to tease her. "I've been here all night. Here, drink this," he handed her a cup of the decongestant potion.

Raven drank it down in one gulp and her nose cleared instantly. "What do you mean you've been here all night? You don't mean..."

Sirius put on a sincere little smirk. "It was a magical night. You made sounds I've never heard a woman make before."

Raven's eyes widened and she sat up a little more. How could she have done it with him and not remembered it? "We...we didn't..."

"Well, not physically, no, but spiritually you were the best I've ever had," he said as he gave her a sexy smile.

Raven let out a sigh of relief. "Oh...whew."

"What?"

"Well, I'm relieved. I mean, that would suck if the first time we did it I didn't even remember it, especially since you're supposed to be so great and--"

"Wait, what? Who told you that?"

"Dulcy Warner."

Sirius squinted and looked upward. "Oh yeah. Really, she said that?"

"Yeah...but, if it's not true..."

"No! No, no, it's true! Every word!" said Sirius, quickly. He leaned in to kiss her, but she pushed him away.

"I might be contagious, Sirius. I don't want you to catch anything."

"I don't care."

"You don't care? What if I have pneumonia and we both die?"

Sirius grinned at her. "If I don't kiss you I die anyway."

A smile slowly spread across Raven's lips and she laughed. "Okay, we're starting to sound like Lily and James here."

"You think they're in love yet?" asked Sirius.

"Oh yeah, they definitely both love each other. I just don't know if they've told each other yet. Ya know, cuz it's easy to feel it, but sometimes they don't say it right away."

"Yeah, that happens a lot," agreed Sirius, thinking about his feelings for Raven.

Raven yawned and tugged on Sirius' shirt. "C'mon, let's go back to sleep." She leaned over and flicked on her CD player.

(A/N: I CAN'T REMEMBER IF I EVER SAID THIS BUT I OBVIOUSLY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE WHOLE "NO ELECTRONICS AT HOGWARTS" THING AND IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME THAT MY FANFIC DIFFERENTIATES FROM THE BOOKS A LITTLE BIT. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT, PRETEND THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN OR SOMETHING, LOL. IT'S JUST THAT MY LIFE IS FILLED WITH MUSIC AND MOVIES AND I DON'T SEE HOW ANYONE, WIZARD OR MUGGLE, COULD LIVE WITHOUT THEM.)

Jonny Lang's voice filled the room. "Try every single day. I know you're worth the wait. Am I getting closer or further away? Somewhere behind your eyes I know my answer lies. But you won't release it. I wish you would try to open up and let me see inside. Down, deep in your heart. I want to be down where you hide your love for me. Cuz I've got to go, I've got to be. Let me inside down where you hide your love for me. Around and round we go, circle's all I know. Deeper and deeper, endless and slow. Everywhere I turn, the same old lessoned learned. Over and over, I just get burned. So bring me down, deep in your heart. I want to be down where you hide your love for me. Cuz I've got to go, I've got to be. Let me inside down where you hide your love for me. No, there's nothing you can say that's ever gonna make me change. I'll always feel this way..."

When Sirius woke up and looked at the clock he smiled. He shook Raven awake. "Raven."

"Hmm?"

"I have an idea."

"Hi, Lucy," said James, "are they in there?"

"I think so," she told him as her portrait slid up.

James stopped in the doorway as his eyes fell on Raven's bed. The blankets were pulled up to the middle of her bare back and she was sleeping with her arms across Sirius' chest. There were clothes scattered around the room as if they had been thrown off.

"Oh my God!" he said, louder than he'd planned to. Raven and Sirius jerked their heads up. "You said you hadn't done anything yet!" He started backing out the door.

The two of them burst into laughter. "James, get back here," said Raven, whipping off the covers.

James quickly shielded his eyes and then peeked out beneath his fingers. He let his hands drop to his sides. Raven was wearing a strapless top and they both had pants on.

"What the...you guys...you need to stop with all this pranking!...No one's ever gonna take you seriously!"

"That's our plan," said Sirius.

"I'll be right back; I'm gonna go grab a sandwich quick," said Raven as she disappeared around the corner.

"She feeling better then?" asked James.

"I guess."

"Padfoot, since we're alone, I need to tell you something," started James.

"Um...let me guess, break her heart a--"

"And I'll break your face," James finished for him.

"I don't plan on it, Prongs."

"I mean it. And...well, when you actually do get some action, for once keep it to yourself, okay? She's my best friend; I don't wanna know."

"Oh come on! I gotta tell someone!" protested Sirius.

"Tell Peter. He'll love it."

"Yeah, he would," Sirius rolled his eyes.

A/N: SORRY, THIS IS KIND OF JUST A FILLER CHAPTER. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY GOOD IDEAS. PLEASE REVIEW, IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY TO GET REVIEWS!
