Chapter Six

The next morning Mo woke to an empty dormitory, much to her displeasure. She rubbed her eyes and hopped from bed. She threw on pants and a t-shirt along with her robes. Just as she was brushing her hair the door opened and Mo looked up to see Caroline.

"Hey I was just coming to wake you up," Caroline said.

Mo raised an eyebrow, "Did it ever occur to you to wake me up before breakfast?"

Caroline rolled her eyes, "Um, no, because we were just leaving for breakfast."

"Oh," Mo said with a grin. "Right, well let's go then."

Lily and Jessi were waiting in the common room, apparently having an interesting conversation, as they didn't look up when Mo came bouncing down the stairs. "Well good morning to you to!" Mo said hands on her hips.

Lily grinned, "Morning Mo."

"Where are the guys?" Caroline asked.

"Left a few minutes ago," Jessi replied. "Said something about pranks and Snape."

Lily grinned, "And so it starts!"

"C'mon guys let's get down to the Great Hall before we miss all the fun," Mo said and the four girls hurried down the corridor.

When they entered the Great Hall their ears were assailed with the beating of wings as owls flooded into the Hall.

"Mail's here," Jessi said. "I hope my mum remembered to send me the Daily Prophet."

As they made their way to the Gryffindor table Mo spotted the Marauders with their heads stuck together examining something that they kept prodding with their wands.

The four girls sat down across from them and Lily cleared her throat, "Up to no good already I see."

Sirius and James looked up at the same time causing their heads to knock together. "Ow Prongs," Sirius whined. "Watch where you put that big head of yours."

"Hey man shut up," James grinned. "You're the one with so much hair in your face you can't see half the time."

Sirius ran his hand through his unconsciously and said, "Like yours is any better."

"How 'bout you both shut up?" Mo suggested and both boys glared at her. She grinned, "So what do you have planned for dear Snapie?"

"Nothing," Sirius said with a sigh. "Unfortunately some bloody little first year ratted us out and Snape found out about it before we had even done anything...hey! PANCAKES!"

Caroline and Mo erupted into laughter as Jessi pulled her wand out and used her levitating charm to hold the plate out of Sirius's reach. He frowned, "Aw c'mon. Are a few pancakes too much to ask for? C'mon Jess!"

Lily shook her head, "That's all guys think about is food, Qudditch, and girls."

As the words escaped her mouth James began spouting about Qudditch tryouts, "They start this week Mo. You should definitely come out. I need a new Chaser and there isn't much talent left in Gryffindor."

Then Sirius piped up, "Hey who's that cute blonde with the legs? Is she in Ravenclaw?" Sirius looked like he was debating whether or not to go talk to her. With a shrug he stuffed one more bite of pancake into his mouth and went to talk to her.

Lily looked at her three friends, "I rest my case."

Later that morning in Transfiguration they all got their first taste of Prof. McGonagall, their new teacher. The tall, dark haired woman surveyed her class down her very short, straight nose. Her manner was sharp, and firm and Mo had a feeling she was going to be a prime target for the Marauder's pranks.

"Welcome back," she said briskly. "I am your new Transfiguration teacher. I plan to be here a very long time so for those of you who are already thinking of a way to scare me off, I assure you it won't happen." Her eyes lingered somewhat on the four Marauders in the back of the room as she continued with her lesson.

When Mo finally walked out of the room with her friends she heaved a sigh of relief, "Good lord that woman was annoying."

Sirius nodded in agreement, "Could she have pulled her hair any tighter? It was painful just looking at it."

"Aw c'mon guys," Remus said.

"Yeah," Lily agreed. "She wasn't that bad."

James turned to Lily and kissed her quickly, "You aren't that bad either when you're not lecturing."

Lily was staring daggers at him and looked ready to strangle him, "Potter I swear-"

"You know what I love about annoying Lily?" James said to Sirius matter-of- factly.

Sirius looked at him quizzically, "No what would that be Prongs."

"That she won't do anything about it Padfoot!" James said with a grin. "She just looks angry and glares. I personally think she's afraid to come get me."

"You wish," Lily snorted. "If it was worth my time you'd already by flat on your arse."

"Empty threats," Sirius tsked.

Lily just smiled. Mo grinned and whispered to Sirius, "She'll get him when he's not expecting it."

Sirius's eyes were already laughing when he looked at her, "I know that. James's eyes are just to glazed over to notice, but then he's provoking her on purpose so..."

"Ladies and gentlemen...and Padfoot," James said with a grin. "Welcome to DADA!"

Mo shook her head as Sirius and James bounded into the classroom like two year olds, Sirius brandishing an imaginary sword as he shouted, "Bring on the banshees."

Remus grinned, "Get used to it. They're like that all the time."

Mo smiled, "Fortunately they have someone sane to keep them in line."

"Oh Remus doesn't keep them in line," Lily assured her as they followed the infamous duo into the classroom.

"Yeah," James grinned. "Don't let that sweet, innocent exterior fool you. Moony is a wild boy."

Remus grinned at his two friends and sat down next to Caroline, who looked more than happy.

***

The next week passed by in a blur and before Mo knew it, it was Saturday and she was being pounced on in her own dorm by James Potter. She opened one eye to glare at him, "What the hell do you want Potter? It's Saturday."

The rambunctious James had succeeded in waking up the entire girl's dorm and they were all looking annoyed at him. "What are you doing in here?" Lily yawned. "This is the girl's dormitory. I think you missed a turn somewhere along the line."

"Thanks for informing me of that Lils," James replied and turned back to Mo with a boyish grin that made her laugh. "Qudditch tryouts."

Mo stared at him, "Qudditch? What time is it? "

"Eight," Caroline muttered with a yawn.

"Erm, James isn't it a little early?" Mo said flopping back down on her pillow.

"We warned you he was fanatical," Jessi said pulling her duvet back over her head. "Next time James, try and be quieter about it."

"Sure Jess," James replied and threw practice robes at Mo. "Be at the Qudditch field in ten minutes."

"Or else," Lily muttered as James left the room. "Honestly you don't know what you're getting yourself into."

Mo shrugged, "I can deal with early mornings but not every Saturday. I'll have to do something about that."

"Why don't you just have Lils do it," Sirius suggested grinning at them from the doorway. "Seeing as she's the only one he listens to these days."

"Shove it Black," Lily shouted and threw a pillow at his face. "There is no privacy in this place I swear. Has it occurred to you guys yet that this is a girl's dormitory?"

Sirius shrugged, "'Spose but it's more fun over here. There's more to look at." He winked at Caroline and Mo.

"Out!" Lily said and flicked her wand slamming the door in his face.

Minutes later Mo had stuffed her hair in a ponytail and was dragging her broom down to the Qudditch field in the practice robes James had given her.

When she arrived she saw a mass of people in the middle of the field. She immediately spotted Sirius who was waving enthusiastically at her from where he stood talking to another girl. She walked over to them and found the girl looked remarkably like Sirius with the same dark hair and facial features, but piercing blue eyes.

"Hey Mo," he replied. "This is Andromeda, another cousin."

Andromeda studied her curiously and then said, "We've met."

"Not under the best circumstances I'm afraid," Mo said with an apologetic smile.

"Well you must have some sense in you seeing as you dumped Regulus," Andromeda grinned.

Sirius frowned, "How is it that you've met my whole family and I just met you a few weeks ago?"

Andromeda opened her mouth but James chose that moment to start talking to everyone, much to Mo's relief.

"Okay," James said. "Who's trying out for the open spot?" Mo and two second years raised their hands. James nodded, "Well let me introduce you to the team first." He pointed to Sirius's cousin, "That's Andromeda, she's our Keeper. Kevyn and Keely are the Beaters." He pointed to two girls with long blonde hair that evidently were best friends. Next he pointed to two boys, one was tall with brown hair, the other slightly smaller with jet-black hair, and "Those are our Chasers as of now Jimmy Fires and Ryan Karl and I of course am the Seeker."

"Now...Sirius what are you doing?" Everyone present turned to look at Sirius who was making odd faces.

Sirius immediately sobered, "Nothin' Prongs. Get on with it then."

"Right," James said shaking his head. "You three up in the air. I'm going to test one at a time. I'm going to throw the quaffle around and we'll see what happens."

Mo and the other two people kicked off the ground and James soon followed with the red quaffle in his hands. He pointed to the blonde girl first and the girl flew over to him, "You first. Let's see what you can catch."

For about ten minutes James threw and received the quaffle until finally the girl was winded and had to land. James nodded to the other kid and James ran him until he was too tired to fly anymore as well.

"You next Mo," James replied with a wicked grin. "Let's see you're talent. You've got a lot of competition."

Mo looked at him mildly, she had been expecting a lot harder competition to be perfectly honest and she would show James what a Chaser was supposed to look like. She settled for a grin, "Bring it on."

"You said it not me," James replied and proceeded to drop the quaffle, which sent Mo into a dive after it. She caught it ten or so feet off the ground and chucked it back at James. "Not bad." He whipped it up and far behind her and she shot after it retrieving it before it had gone very far.

Grinning she flung it back at him nearly knocking him off the broom. James grinned, "Now the fun begins."

For the next fifteen minutes James proceeded to send her in every direction possible and nearly had her throw her arm off until finally he grinned and said, "Welcome to the Gryffindor Qudditch team Mo."

The crowd of people below shouted and cheered up at them. The whole team thumped her on the back grinning and wringing her hand. She laughed as Sirius gave her the thumbs up sign from atop one of the goal posts on which he was sitting.

She grinned and waited for Sirius as the rest of the team trekked back up to the castle. "Brilliant," Sirius said when he landed beside her. "You were bloody brilliant."

"Thanks," she replied and he fell into step beside her.

"You know," Sirius said. "We won the House Cup and the Qudditch Cup last year. James will be hounding you guys all season. Just to warn you."

"Well thanks but I'll just send Lils after him if he gets to out of hand," Mo grinned and paused in thought. "You know, I've been thinking about it and we should definitely get them together."

"Do you mean play matchmakers?" Sirius asked his eyes gleaming.

Mo rolled her eyes, "Of course silly. C'mon we have to plan this out perfectly."
