Well here's the story.
Disclaimer. JK owns everything you recognize here. I don't own anything cept the plot and my friends.
The War
~*~
It was a normal lunch at Hogwarts. Well as normal as lunches get at Hogwarts. Which, when you think about it, weren't very normal at all.
That day instead of the normal 4 house tables there were 16 smaller tables. That was all courtesy of the Marauders, the resident trouble makers at Hogwarts. James Potter was their leader with his best friend Sirius Black. Remus Lupin was the quiet one. He was known as the smartest of the group. Peter Pettigrew was the final Marauder though he preferred watching the others than doing actually joining in.
It was thanks to their spectacular fireworks show during dinner several night ago all four table had to be taken out for repairs due to sever burn marks. As well as for several broken legs and benches that were snapped in the mass panic when they had the brilliant idea of turning off the lights so that everyone could enjoy the light show better.
Anyway the house tables were gone and most likely wouldn't be back for several weeks. Lunch had already started when the doors opened and let in four girls talking among themselves. Two girls were about the same height (5'3). The other two were a head taller than them (5'7).
Looking around all of them sighed at once. Rolling their eyes they walked over to the only free table between the Marauders and some 7th years of the same proud house of Gryffindor. Putting their books down they had just started to eat when the main doors burst open again and another girl, about the same height as the first two, came running through. Stopping for a moment to locate her fiends she quickly came and sat down ignoring all the stares she got for being so late.
Together they made up the resident 5th year Gryffindor girls. They were all close friends though they all seemed rather different. They were able to laugh with each other and have a good time in each other's company and that was all that mattered.
Lily Evens was easily the tallest of the group. Her wavy read hair fell to about half way down her back. Green eyes shining she laughed at something the girl across from her said. She managed to be the smartest of the group even though she was a muggleborn.
The girl sitting across from her was Kate Steps. Her wavy light brown hair was pulled in two buns and her smoky grey/blue eyes were crossed as she made a funny face. Even if she was the shortest of the group it wasn't that apparent because of the heels of her shoes. A dancer at heart she had an abundant amount of energy. She was also the only one of the group that could be counted as a 'pure' Pureblood.
Diana Anderson's mother was a pureblood but her father was a muggleborn wizard. The second smallest of the group she was another with a strong spirit. Her curly dark brown hair was always pulled up in 2 to 5 pigtails. Hazel eyes would state defiantly at anyone who challenged what she believed in. Diana had some very strong beliefs and would stand up for them even if she was made fun of it.
Michelle Luke was the middle person of the group as well as the most out going. Bouncing around like she was almost always on a constant sugar high. Her father was a wizard but her mother was a muggle. Her father didn't even tell them about his magic until Michelle got her letter. Dirty blond hair cut just past her shoulders and blue eyes turned toward the last person of their group and she sighed.
Jasmine Shi was perhaps the most different from the group. Long black hair that fell down to her lower back hung down and dark brown eyes showed her parents Asian decent. Jasmine, or Jas as everyone called her, was the quiet bookish one. It was most expected that she would be the one on top of all her work.
"Jas, did you study for that Arithmacy test?" Kate asked from where she was across the table.
Jas looked up from her notebook she was doodling on as she listened to the other talked.
"Test? We have a test today?" Everyone looked at her confused face.
"Yah. Don't you remember Professor Lawrence telling us yesterday?" Lily asked shaking her head.
"Umm… she pondered for a bit then a look of dawning crossed her face. "Oh yah." Then she turned back to her notebook to finish up her sketch.
"Honestly. How is it you can manage to keep up an O average when you can barely remember when the tests are?" Michelle asked taking a last bite out of her sandwich.
"I pay attention to class." She responded simply.
"But you never pay attention." Kate and Lily said at the same time.
"Oh well." And with a smile she picked up her drawing to examine it.
Shaking their heads at their friend they continued their talk about their morning classes. Laughing at a joke Michelle told they were all shocked as a piece came flying over their heads and landed in the left over the spaghetti. Unfortunately for Kara the spaghetti was right in front of her and sprayed her shirt with red sauce.
"Omg!" She exclaimed as they all looked in the direction the projectile came from. Sitting there looking a bit sheepish the Marauders plus their other room mate Steve Williams.
"What do you think you're doing?" Diana asked as she tried to help Kara with the stain.
"Well since we can't bring our wands in here anymore I was teaching these guys how to play a muggle American game called football." Steve said.
"Watch you're aim." Michelle said picking out the paper triangle and tossing it over to them. Sitting down again she sighed.
"Boys can be so immature."
"Definitely." Lily said as she took out a paper that was due last period.
"Gee Lil you're almost getting as bad as Jas here." Diana commented as she watched Lily jot down answers.
"Actually I finished that." Jas said calmly as she put her notebook away. With everyone's eyes on her she pulled out a book.
"When did you have time to finish it?" Kara asked as she just finished the same paper up.
"Oh around 12 when you were all asleep."
"Typical." They all rolled their eyes at their odd friend.
"Well, not all of us are nocturnal like you. We like to get some sleep at night."
"Why would you…" She was cut off by another paper football flying right past her hair and directly at Michelle who was sitting across from her. Whipping their heads around once again they stared at the guys who were smiling at them.
"I thought we told you to watch it?" Lily warned as she glared at them.
"Sorry." Sirius replied looking at the football Michelle was holding. "Can we have it back?"
"Sure just hold on." Michelle then took out her quill and stated to draw something on the little piece of paper. "Here, don't let it happen again." And she passed over to them their football. The other caught a glance at it as it changed hands. It was covered in flowers and hearts.
Sirius looked at the football and looked up but they were already gone. Walking out of the Great Hall laughing.
"Boys arte idiots. If I haven't said it already I'm saying it now." Michelle said as they walked out.
"You can say that again." Diana called out as they all split up to go to their electives. Lily, Kara, and Jas to Arithmacy. Diana to Ancient Ruins and Michelle to Divination.
