Chapter 1: Rope and Rule Breaking
-----
"Whoo-oo!"
Jack Cavail shook his head. He could hear the cheering and yelling from the
corridor by the potions room, and knew there were only two people in this whole
school who could raise this much hell. He also knew they were probably not
doing anything he wanted a part of.
He continued walking and made it to the Potions classroom a little too quickly
for his liking. He was returning from a bathroom break, and knew the professor
was OBVIOUSLY not still in the classroom, unless.
"JAMES POTTER UNTIE ME RIGHT NOW!"
Jack winced. Yup. He had done it. He turned into the classroom and was greeted
with the scene of Remus, flat on his back on Professor McTarvis's
desk, with James on top of him. The two were snogging
wildly. This alone would have been quite bad. But add the fact that both of
them weren't entirely straight.
So, the Head Boy, and Gryffindor Prefect, both male, the golden boys of
Hogwarts, at least until they opened their mouths, or really did anything at
all, were lying on top of the Potions teacher's desk, snogging
like mad, putting on a show for the class. And that's all it was. A show. Jack,
at least, knew that. The Slytherins in the class didn't, and were watching them
with astonishment.
Jack sighed. Was there anything these two wouldn't do? Probably not, he thought
with regret. He really had the weirdest friends. But it was just his bad luck
at being at Hogwarts at the same time as them, because no one else would ever
shine while they were around. They really were the Golden Boys. He knew the
other two boys in their dorm were very close to mutiny.
But Kevin Flinn and Eric Larkeiri
had never been very wild, or accepting. Jack often thought they were in
Gryffindor because of some weird fluke, either that, or they were masters of
deception. Either way, they avoided James, Remus, and Jack at all costs. Not
that Jack blamed them, he would probably stay away from them too, and it was
most definitely safer.
But he hadn't had that choice. He had come here with no friends. And he didn't
particularly want to befriend Flinn or Larkeiri. So that had left James and Remus, the golden
boys. So he had become friends with them. It was interesting being friends with
those two. He knew they kept quite a few things from him, but he didn't mind
not knowing. Knowing them, whatever it was, was probably dangerous or illegal,
otherwise there would be no point.
But now it was time to see what had become of the professor. He didn't really
have much hope there, but you never knew. He looked around and winced again.
As Jack had feared, Professor McTarvis was tied to a
chair at the back of the room, with a blindfold on. He figured there wasn't
really much he could be, because James and Remus would kill him if he untied McTarvis, or even took of the blindfold. And when they
decided to kill you, you had to watch out. Jack leaned against a wall at the
back of the classroom and listened to the catcalls of the students. Someone, he
realized, would have to untie McTarvis pretty soon,
or it was going to get ugly, er, uglier. But the golden boys could get away
with anything, so there was no worry.
