Marauder Mayhem
A/N: First of all, I apologize for not updating in awhile. All the sudden I've been getting all these reviews complaining about the Mary-Sueism in this fic and all the modern songs/movies in a fic that's supposed to be set in the 70's. I usually make fun of criticism, but this time it's really bothering me. I was 15 when I started writing this fic 5 years ago, and I didn't know what a Mary-Sue even was. And now that I have 31 chapters, I'll be damned if I'm gonna stop writing it now! I also consider writing fanfiction a hobby, not a research paper. I stuck all those movies and songs in there because I liked them and they fit with the chapter. Anyways, I realized that you guys have all been really great reviewers and I shouldn't punish you for them being stupid. I'm going to try to keep updating regularly, but someday this fic will have to end. Thank you all for being so good to me. Keep the reviews comin.
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.

Chapter 32 - November 14th
"Sirius, are you gonna eat that?" asked Peter, eyeing Sirius' bacon with interest.
Sirius was distracted by the sudden entrance of owls, bringing them their daily mail. He spotted his owl heading straight for him and let out a sigh. After Wheaton landed in Sirius' eggs, he untied the letter from his leg and stroked his feathers absentmindedly.
"Sirius?...Sirius?" tried Peter again.
"Jesus Christ, Pete!" snapped Sirius. He threw the bacon onto Peter's plate. "I'll see you guys in class."
Sirius stood and hurried out of the Great Hall with his letter. Raven got up and followed him up to his dorm. He was lying sitting cross-legged on his bed looking at the letter when Raven came in.
"Is it alright if I...?"
Sirius nodded. She sat behind him, placing her hands on either of his shoulders and squeezing.
"Go on," she said.
Sirius tore open the envelope and unfolded the letter.
Dear Sirius,
Hey Cuz! It's so good to hear from you! I really miss you, too. Ted and I are doing good, but you're not supposed to know that! I'm sorry, I haven't really heard anything about your dad other than what Regulus told you. He's still in at St. Mungo's and they're not releasing him for awhile. They think it might be a heart condition, but as of know he's okay. I'll send you an owl if I hear anything else, I promise.
Love,
Andromeda
Sirius let out a long breath, put the letter aside, and caught Raven's hand on his shoulder.
"From Andromeda?" asked Raven.
Sirius nodded as he slipped his other hand around her waist and pulled her up next to him.
She leaned away from him. "Well, wha'd she say about your dad?"
"The same thing Regulus told me," he responded, kissing at her neck and moving up her jawline.
Raven pulled away. "So he's still at St. Mungos?"
"Stop doing that!" he whined. "Are you okay by last night?"
"More than okay. I just wanted to know what's up with your dad and I think you're trying to distract me."
Sirius rolled his eyes and handed her the letter. He continued kissing along her clavicle as she read. "Not very informative," she said, tossing the letter aside. "I can see why you're frustrated."
"I'm not frustrated!" shouted Sirius, contradicting himself.
"Then what are you doing?"
"What? I can't even kiss you?"
"We have class in like 2 minutes."
Sirius siezed the letter, crumpled it up, and threw it under his bed as he got off of it. "Fine, let's go." He took Raven's hand pulling her from the bed and started to lead her out of the room.
"Padfoot?" Raven stopped.
As Sirius turned around, she put her arms around his neck and kissed him. Raven jumped as he leaned into her and her back touched the wall. He pulled away a few seconds later and smiled at her.
"Happy?"
"Yup!"
They hurried to class, but were still late. Professor McGonagall looked up and frowned as they came in.
"Black, McKinnon, why are you late?"
Sirius was sinking slowly into his chair as he answered, "Because the bell rang before we got here, Professor."
As a few of the students in the class laughed at what he'd said, James leaned over and whispered to Sirius. "Everything alright? Ya know, with your dad?"
Sirius nodded.
After classes they had Quiddich practice. In the locker room, Raven noticed James and Sirius whispering conspiratorially to each other as Jess was talking to her.
"Raven?" Jess asked.
Raven shook her head and turned back to her. "Huh?"
"You are together, aren't you?"
"I'm sorry, what?"
"You and Sirius. I heard a rumor. Is it true?" Jess asked excitedly.
Raven ignored it. "Do you think they're up to something?" She nodded toward James and Sirius.
Jess turned to look at them and shrugged. Sirius reached into his locker and brought out his water bottle. James smelled it and laughed. They hid it behind their back as they heard Justin approaching. Raven watched as Justin filled his own bottle with water from the tap and set it on the bench next to him as he dressed. James quickly switched the bottles. Raven slid over next to Sirius.
"What are you doing?" she said into his ear.
Sirius jumped. "Nothing."
"What's in there?"
"What's in where?" smiled James innocently.
Sirius smiled deviously at Raven and put his finger to his lips. "Wait and see."
"C'mon you guys! Justin's stressed enough."
"Shh!!!" Sirius covered her mouth. "This'll make him laugh."
Justin finished dressing and turned around. "Alright everyone, listen up."
He took a long swig from the bottle as everyone gathered around him. He made a disgusted face as he swallowed and threw the bottle aside. James and Sirius started to crack up and hid behind Raven.
"Now...toes need our really be on to we."
James, Mundungus, and Sirius erupted into laughter. Raven bit her tongue to keep herself from giggling.
"Hell what the?"
Sirius was doubled over holding his stomach, and James was on the floor and Dung sat on the bench and started to fan his red face. Laurel and Jess just kind of looked from James and Sirius to Justin.
"Do guys what you did? Right it fix now!"
Jess, Laurel, and Raven suddenly joined in on the laughter.
"I'm your ass gonna kick!"
A fresh wave of laughter spread throughout the team. This time Justin broke down and chuckled with them.
"I'm your ass?! Hahahahahaha!!!!!" choked Mundungus.
Justin finally realized that if he waited long enough between words, he could fool the potion into thinking he had finished speaking. He said each word one at a time with a sufficient gap inbetween. "Fix...it...now...Black!"
"Help you, I will!" replied Sirius in his best Yoda voice.
This spurred a new chorus of laughter.
"You just hafta let it wear off, Wood," said James. "It's a word scrambler potion. Brilliant, huh? How'd it taste?"
Justin rolled his eyes. "It...tasted...like...shit."
"That would make sense. It smelled like shit, too," James said.
By the middle of practice the potion had worn off and Justin was 'back to Drill Sargeant Wood,' as Sirius said. The team then noticed the Slytherin team standing at the edge of the pitch, watching them. Sirius and James landed first and strode over to them. The rest of the Gryffindors followed.
"What exactly do you think you're doing? We're practicing. Go away," said Sirius, eyeing Lucius with dislike.
"We booked the pitch for today," replied Lucius.
"After I did. You'll just have to wait, Malfoy," said Justin.
"The hell I will! You've had it long enough."
"How about you play us for it?" challenged Sirius.
Lucius laughed malevolently. "You want to play us?"
"You're right, that would be a joke. I guess we could just duel," said Sirius, pulling out his wand and taking a step forward.
Lucius reflexively pulled his wand and they started to circle each other.
Raven rolled her eyes. "Let's just play, alright?"
They rose into the air and started the game.
James had already scored three goals. Bellatrix had decided to tail Raven until she saw the snitch. Raven kept going into dives and faking her out and by the look on her face, Bellatrix was getting pissed.
James weaved around two Slytherins and passed to Jess. As she scored, Raven went into a real dive and caught the snitch just before Sirius hit a bludgers straight at Malfoy. It hit him right in the crotch and he fell some 4 feet from his broom, grabbing his groin and moaning.
"Walk it off," said Sirius, landing next to Raven and winking at her.
