A/N: I can't believe it, I'm actually updating. I must have nothing to do!
MIDNIGHT MARAUDING
Lily looked around. Good, the coast is clear. She stepped tentatively into the darkness, making sure that no sound can be heard.
There better no be another Potter to spoil my plans. Tonight I am going to find out the truth.
Slowly, she had made her way upstairs and turned to her destination. The secret compartment hidden beneath the portrait. She pressed her ears against the wall. She could hear a faint whistling. Someone or something was in there. Lily did not care whether it forbidden or not. Clearly, Dumbledore had not wished to draw attention to it. He didn't want anyone to go to that area at all. But nothing will stop lily Evans today. Nothing.
She took out her wand and muttered several spells. No such luck. There must be some secret password or code. But what can it be?
Lily casted a glance around. No one. She tried removing off the portrait, but it just stuck like glue.
"Help! Someone is attacking me!" The woman in the portrait screeched.
"Sonorous." Lily replied and immediately the voice died.
"Great, I better leave before Ratchett (the caretaker) finds me." Lily scowled.
*~*~*~*
James and Sirius smirked silently. Poor Snivellus. He's not gonna be very happy tomorrow when he finds out what's been in his bed. They were both covered (or trying to be covered) under James's invisibility cloak, heading back to their dormitory.
It was Sirius who first heard a woman screeching abruptly. They fell quiet and listened closely. There were footsteps moving unmistakably this way. Very light footsteps, almost impossible to be heard.
To late to move now, they both thought and remained stationery. A moment later, a dark shadow appeared. It was too dark to see the face properly. However, they could both tell that it was definitely a girl.
James and Sirius exchanged glances. Their eyes sparkled mischievously. They were going to find out where that girl's going in the middle of the night. To their uttermost disappointment, the girl headed back to the Gryffindor Tower. But still, they wished to know who that Gryffindor girl was.
Just before the girl entered the portrait, Sirius and James decided to play a little trick...
*~*~*~*
Lily had almost reached the Gryffindor Tower when she heard faint footsteps. She looked around, but there was nobody present. Then she pretended she hadn't heard anything and continued walking. Every step that she took, she could feel the other sets of steps following her. She quickened her pace, and so did her stalkers. Lily couldn't be bothered to play games with anyone. No one would recognise her anyway.
She was a few steps away when something grabbed her hood down. Her red hair fell down her shoulders and her face was revealed. Lily panicked and quickly fixed her hood back on. She did the most logical thing that came to her mind. She ran.
*~*~*~*
Sirius heard James gasp. He was pretty shocked too. How come he had never seen that redhead before? She looked like some princess out of a muggle fairytale. Sirius made a mental note to check out all the re-heads next time.
That face, I've seen it before! James thought. Now where, where did it come from? It's strange; because she resembled that girl I saw the other day. Did she have red hair? No, I couldn't see. But it must be her! She covered her hair too! So she is a red head, AND she's in Gryffindor! That just makes it a whole lot easier!
James snapped back to reality. What does it matter about that girl? She's not any of my business.
"Do you know who she is?" Sirius asked.
"No, but I've talked to her before. Trust me, Padfoot, she's not an easy target." James answered.
"We'll see about that." Sirius shrugged.
There she goes
There she goes again
Racing through my brain
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains
Well, hope you like that. Yes, it was short. But don't you think it deserved a review? PS. Check out my other story!
