TWO: Hoggy Hoggy Warts.------------------
The Marauder's looked up at the great castle in front of them. If you were a stranger and just looking at these four boys, you probably would think aww, how cute. They think their school is pretty.
"Have we been up to the funny looking tower to your left, Padfoot?" James said, staring at the castle. Sirius squinted.
"Yeah, that's the one where we found twenty five zillion doxies. Remember?" Sirius grinned as he thought about the memory. "Oh, yeah, I forgot... you were knocked out within the first few minutes..." James looked grumpily back at him.
"Oy, have we been to that squiggly one to the left of the Clock Tower?" Remus said.
"Hm," Peter said. He was rather quiet these days.
"Squiggly? There's a squiggly tower?" Sirius said disbelievingly and shuffled over a little.
"I don't see no squiggly tower? What do you mean by squiggly? Like curvy and everything?" James said squinting.
"No, the other meaning of squiggly," Sirius said sarcastically.
"I see it!" James said. "Nah, I don't think we've been up the tower.. Moony write it down on the Marauder's Map. What'll we call it?"
"How about the Squiggly Tower?" Sirius said.
"Good idea!"
This was their custom; they would always take the last carriage up to the castle, and would always stand right in the middle of the doorway so no one could get out. Almost everyone had learned by now except for the first years, who tried to make them move, and only succeeded in accidentally tickling Sirius, who turned around and yelled bloody murder. The first years didn't really bother them after that.
They were the last ones into the Great Hall (except for the first years of course, who were now completely terrified of Sirius; he had let off a firework in the room where the first years were waiting. But he was smart of course. Since there were no house points yet, none could be deducted. Instead, he got his very first detention of the school year), and they always had to come in so that everyone would know it was them. As always their suave walk and late appearance impressed everyone except Lily.
James was in a terrific mood. Lily was the Head Girl, he was Head Boy, they were supposed to go patrol the corridors tonight (apparently there were always some Back To School parties that went a little rowdy or a little long), and he was about to eat as much as was humanely possible. The Sorting started and all of the already near-hysterical first years tried on the Sorting Hat and sat down. The Marauders of course were the noisiest of all when cheering for the Gryffindors and unfortunately Sirius had learned to whistle during the summer. He was now able to whistle at every girl, and did. They all sat down and waited for the Dumbledore to make his little speech.
"Welcome back," Dumbledore said. "To yet another year at Hogwarts!" Applause.
"This year, I am pleased to present James Potter as Head Boy and Lily Evans as Head Girl!" Applause. James sat up a little taller.
"I am also pleased to tell you that Sirius has got his first detention tomorrow evening at seven, if any of you are keeping track." Laughter and Applause. Other more boring information was told, including the warning about the Forbidden Forest, which the Marauder's dismissed with a wave of their hand (all at once, they had practiced this on the train) and a few about not staying out too late, or wandering off, and no magic in the corridors (all of which were dismissed with their hands).
Then the feast started. The Marauders were all silent for the first few minutes as the swallowed and gulped and burped (Remus was the best at it) and shoved food into their mouths, before they decided to settle down and really eat like civilized people (which they were not, as Lily constantly reminded them).
"So, what's your name?" Sirius said pleasantly to a first year sitting a bit away from him. He turned a little red.
"Gregory," he said.
"Well, hello, Gregory," James butted in. "My name is James,"
"And I'm Remus," Remus said with an exaggerated bow.
"And I'm Peter," Peter said simply.
"And I am Sirius," Sirius said leaning forward and exposing his pack of fireworks. Gregory turned a little green.
"We're the Marauders!" James said. Gregory looked like he was close to fainting.
"Excuse me," he said and whizzed off.
"My, my, he was a little tetchy, ehh? Just trying to be friendly!" Sirius said and helped himself to more potatoes.
"Hmm," Remus said, pretending to think. "Now why would he be scared of you?"
"Oh, I don't know," James said, grinning. "Let's think."
"Well you yelled like a damn COW when they tickled you—"Remus said.
"And you shot off fireworks when they were already scared enough—" James continued.
"And there is the fact that you look like a big hairy ---"
Remus was being tackled by Sirius.
That night, Lily and James were going on their patrols, which consisted of going up to the Astronomy Tower (parties were held there often), Gryffindor Tower, the Slytherin Dungeons, the Hufflepuff East Wing, and the Ravenclaw West Wing. They'd also make a little scoop around the grounds and double check a few places and then basically roam around the school.
"Hello, Lily, my lovely Head Girl," James said with a wide smile, and a wink. Lily raised her eyebrows.
"Please be quiet."
James grinned even wider. He loved the way Lily told him what to do. He also loved the way she looked after he did what she told him not to do. They were on their way to the Astronomy Tower, a five-minute walk from McGonagall's office.
"So, Lily," James said, and Lily sighed, knowing that it was impossible to control him.
"How are you?" James said. Lily decided she might as well talk to him since they were stuck together for most of the night.
"I have told you to not call me Lily, Potter," she said.
"Lily, you haven't answered my question!" James ignored her previous statement. With satisfaction, he noted her rolling of eyes and clenching of pretty hands.
"I am very irritated at the moment, Potter," Lily said through clenched teeth.
"Well that's not good," James said grinning. "Now how can I cheer Lily up?"
"Don't..." Lily warned him. She knew exactly what kind of things James would do in an attempt to cheer her up.
"Look, Lily! I'm tap dancing!"
While James and Lily were off patrolling, Peter went straight to sleep, but Remus and Sirius were still sitting in the common room, talking. Finally, Sirius couldn't take it anymore.
"Come on, Moony," he said to Remus and got up. "You know how useless James is."
"What? YOU'RE GOING TO FOLLOW THEM?" Remus said as he realized Sirius' point.
"Oh, Remus, Remus, Remus, Remus the Moony," Sirius said saying each word as he stepped on each individual step up to the boy's dormitory. Remus followed, somewhat cautiously.
"Lily will not hesitate to put us in detention!" Remus said. Sirius grinned and started shoving through James's stuff.
"Ah, well, another in the barrel then." He stuck his head into James's trunk.
"You can't follow them!" Remus replied. Sirius came out, hair screwed up, but holding a special cloak.
"You're right. I'm gonna need this," Sirius said and hauled Remus out the door, and flipped their cloak over them.
"ALRIGHT, PARTY'S OVER!" bellowed James as he kicked a bunch of fourth years out of their common room. Lily was busy telling people the nice way to go to bed, but seeing how slow it was taking her; James decided to do it the fast way.
Sirius and Remus had been wandering around the castle. The Marauder's Map was only half finished so at random points, everything would disappear and start going with the part where they insult anyone who tries to read it.
"I solemnly swear I am up to no good!" Sirius hissed at it.
Mr. Padfoot would like to thank I solemnly swear I am up to no good and would like to remind him that his toenails need cleaning
"Great," Sirius said and stuck the map in his pocket, "I have no sunk to the level where I insult myself." That's when they heard James yelling like a maniac in the Hufflepuff common room.
"There's James," Remus said, hiding a snigger. "Acting like an ass, as usual." They made a beeline for the common room and waited outside until James and Lily came out, Lily scolding James as usual.
"Yeah, of course you got them up to their dormitories. And you probably woke everyone else up too! Potter! Just ask them, you don't have to be an obnoxious little bastard ALL the time.." Lily said, but found James staring at her in a kind of daze.
"POTTER!" she shrieked in his face. He jumped and shook his head.
"Sorry, Lily, I was just completely entranced with those lovely big green eyes of yours..." Lily sighed and kept walking.
"Heh heh," Sirius said to Remus, who grinned as well.
"Heh heh," Remus said.
"Heh heh."
Yes, I know this is the second chapter in only ONE DAY... yes, love me.
