Partly the reason I wanted to quit this story is that I just saw this
fricken scarey thing in my e-mail and I wanted a reason to never come on my
computer again. *shudder*
Anyway, I'll get over it. Maybe...
Now, who's up for a little chappy?
And thanks guys, you made me feel better.

~*~ Chapter 14 Secret Passage Ways and Remus Gets a Surprise in the Shower ~*~
But, as the middle of October came along and the air outside became very cold and windy, Clive was leaving them alone more as he started to pay more attention to Jessica.
Remus had come back a while ago looking tired as ever but saying he was fine.
"No really, I'm fine! Thanks for your concern I just...just need a nap is all. My mum kept me up all night doing things for her, but she's a little better now. So please, I just want to have a rest." Remus said putting up his hands in front of him as his friends try to help him.
They left him alone as he wished.
But soon, Remus was back to his normal self.
~
Lily sat in the common room trying to finish her essay for History of Magic.
It wasn't due until next Friday, but she wanted to finish it.
She sighed in frustration as she loaded her quill with too much ink and it made a blotch on her page, forming two words together.
She crumpled up her paper and started to write again, for the fifth time that day.
The Marauders were goofing off somewhere so she needn't worry they would bother her.
Arabella and Sara had left her alone when she growled at them for disturbing her.
Lily wanted this essay to be perfect. And when she meant perfect, she meant PERFECT. Absolutely, positively, emphatically perfect.
"Heads up!" Someone yelled.
Lily looked up in case they were talking to her.
A bottle of ink, tossed by Arabella flew across the room to Sara.
Sara leapt up and snatched at it a few times trying to hold onto it.
*You can see what's about to happen but you just can't seem to stop it.*
Everything that happened after that seemed to go in slow motion.
The bottle of ink flew from Sara's fingers right to the table where Lily was working and Lily looked in horror as the ink bottle hit the table and smashed all over her work.
Arabella covered her face with her hands, Lily's face was splotched with ink and was sporting a look of pure anger, and Sara was still reaching out for something that wasn't there with a look of pure terror etched on her face.
Lily stood up and Sara backed away slowly.
"No, Lily, see-it wasn't my fault-" Sara said in horror as Lily clenched her fists.
"Then whose fault was it?" Lily yelled at her.
Sara pointed to Arabella.
"Arabella's!" She said.
Arabella glared at her.
"No it wasn't! You missed the catch!" She said.
"Why were you tossing a bottle of ink around anyway?!" Lily asked.
Sara looked at Arabella who shrugged.
"Found it on the floor." Arabella said. "Felt like throwing it."
Lily gaped at her.
"Whatever! I'm going someone quiet away from you idiots." Lily then grabbed her wand and cleaned up the mess before stomping up to the girls' dormitory.
"Great catch Sara." Arabella said sarcastically.
"It would've been if you knew how to throw." Sara snapped back.
Arabella frowned.
"Wanna play chess?"
Sara rolled her eyes.
~
The next morning was Saturday and all of the girls in the girls' dormitory were all up.
"Let's play truth or dare!" Pauline said.
"No, truth or dare is for wussies." Sara said.
"Fine, you're going first." Pauline said. "Truth or dare?"
"What-I thought I said-" Sara said but Pauline cut her off.
"OK, dare then. Let's see...sneak into the boys' dorm and snog the first person you see!" Pauline said.
~*~ (A/N: Flashforwards again! Whoo) "Oh god, not this." Sara said putting her head in her hands.
Remus blushed.
"Can't we just skip this?"
"No!" Lily, Arabella and the rest of the Marauders said.
Sara and Remus sighed. ~*~
"What! No!" Sara said.
"Yes, come on." Pauline said and pulled Sara out, the rest of the girls following.
They walked into the boys dorm.
"I'm not looking!" Sara said, her eyes clamped shut.
"They're all sleeping anyway." Pauline said.
Sara opened her eyes.
"Hey listen." Cecilia said.
They could hear the shower.
"Who is in the shower?" Arabella asked.
"Check the beds." Lily said.
"It's Remus." Cecilia said as they checked the beds.
Pauline grinned.
"I have another dare!" She said.
"Wait-no-" Sara said as Pauline pushed her over to the bathroom.
"Remus wears a watch right?" Pauline asked.
Sara raised an eyebrow.
"How should I know?" She said.
Pauline gave her a look.
"Yeah he does." Sara mumbled.
"OK, grab his watch." Pauline said.
"But-what if he comes out while I'm in there? You know how embarrassing that would be!" Sara said.
"Do you not know what the point of truth or dare is?" Cecilia asked. "Don't be a wimp Whitmore!"
Sara glared at her.
"All right, fine." She said and grabbed the door handle.
She turned it but it didn't open.
"Oh dear, it's locked, I guess we can't do it now then." She said.
"You're wasting time! He WILL come out if you don't stop being stupid." Lily said pointing her wand at the door handle. "Alohamora."
The door lock clicked and Sara, who was looking at Lily in surprise, went in the bathroom.
There was steam everywhere and clothes were strewn across the floor.
'Please don't come out, please don't come out...although, that wouldn't be too bad...if I was invisible!' Sara thought digging through the clothes for Remus's watch.
'Aha!'
She snatched the watch and opened the door again.
Just as she was about to go out, the four other girls yelled "GOT YOUR WATCH!" and slammed the door, Sara still in the bathroom.
~
"That was mean." Lily said grinning as they all started laughing and barricaded the door with a chair.
The three other boys had leapt out of bed.
"Where's the fire?" Sirius asked.
"I've gone blind!" James yelled. "Oh...wait. Here's my glasses..."
The four girls laughed even harder.
"What are you girls doing in here?" Peter asked pulling his pillow in front of him trying to cover himself up.
They waited for the girls to wipe the tears out of their eyes.
"Sara's in there." Cecilia said jabbing her thumb at the bathroom door.
"But, isn't Remus in there too?" Peter asked looking at his watch. "He normally takes showers now."
"Yeah." Arabella said. "He's in there."
The boys looked at each other.
~
"What are you-Ah!" Remus said blushing scarlet and grabbed the shower curtain.
"I'm sorry! They locked me in here!" Sara said covering her eyes with her hands.
Remus wrapped a towel around himself and stepped out of the shower.
"You can uncover your eyes now." He said.
"No way, you're naked." Sara said.
"I'm covered up now." Remus said.
"Are you sure?" Sara asked.
"Positive." Remus said.
Sara looked up at him.
"Oh, yeah, here's your watch." She said handing him back his watch she had in her hand.
"Right..." Remus said taking it, making sure the towel wouldn't slip. "Er...turn around. I'm going to get changed..."
~
"Think we should let them out?" Arabella asked.
"No." Pauline said.
"What are they doing in there anyway?" Sirius asked.
"We dunno." Cecilia said.
This made the boys look at each other again with raised eyebrows.
Lily and Arabella shook their heads. 'Stupid boys...'
~
"Well..." Sara said.
"Yeah..."
Sara sighed and rolled her eyes as she leaned against the door.
~
"Come on, that's long enough." Lily said.
"All right Lily, don't get your knickers in a twist." Cecilia said and Lily scowled.
Pauline jerked the chair away from the door and opened in.
Sara, as she was leaning against it, fell back.
"Oh, thanks guys." She said.
"Hey, did you get to see Remus naked? Because he's dressed now so you must've." Cecilia said grinning at Remus. "How big was he?" She added to Sara.
Sara's eyes widened.
"Honestly Ceel, if you were any more boy crazy you'd BE a boy." She said.
Cecilia glowered at her.
"Stupid." She said.
"Idiot." Sara said.
"Brainless."
"Deficient."
"Dolt."
"Tramp!"
Cecilia glared, racking her brain for a word.
"Floozy!"
"Nymphomaniac!" Sara said.
"Stop it!" Lily yelled.
Sara and Cecilia glared at each other.
"Why are you here anyway? You didn't want to play truth or dare!" Cecilia said.
Sara threw up her hands and stomped out of the room.
"Well..." Cecilia said and looked around at the people glaring at her. "What? She started it!"
"Whatever Ceel." Pauline said grabbing Cecilia's arm. "I've had enough of this game." Then she dragged Cecilia out.
Lily and Arabella looked at the boys.
"Yeah, we'll just, go too." Arabella said jabbing her thumb at the doorway before leaving with Lily.
"So...how'd your shower go Reme?" Sirius asked.
Remus scowled at him.
~
"Hey guys." James said coming up behind the rest of the Marauders.
Sirius and Peter were trying to do their last minute homework.
Remus who had already finished his homework, was reading a book.
"Hullo James." Peter said.
"I found another secret passage!" James exclaimed.
"That's nice." Sirius mumbled running his hand through his hair. "Hey do you know the answer to...secret passage? Work can wait!"
Sirius jumped up.
Remus shook his head.
"Where?" Peter asked looking up.
"I'll show you." James said. "Get some money."
"We don't have to pay to get in do we?" Remus asked.
"No no," James said shaking his head. "Hurry up now!"
Peter and Remus sighed and followed James and an ecstatic Sirius to their dorm to collect money.
~
"See? All you do, is tap the witch and say 'Dissendium' and there you go!" James said tapping the humpback witch.
The hump opened up wide enough to admit a fairly thin person.
"Wow..." Sirius said grinning.
"Where does it go?" Peter asked.
"Hogsmeade." James said grinning.
"Wow..." Sirius said again. "Let's go!"
"Shouldn't you finish your homework first?" Remus asked.
Sirius rolled his eyes.
"No." He said. "You go first." Sirius pushed Remus in front of him.
"No, wait-"
~
They started walking down a long passage that twisted and turned.
"When does this end?" Peter asked as the passage began to rise.
"Just up the stairs." James said as they met stairs.
They started to walk up the hundreds of stairs with Sirius counting every step.
"Two hundred and eighty-two." Sirius said. "Two hundred and eighty-three, two hundred and eighty-"
"Sirius, SHUT UP!" James, Peter and Remus said through clenched teeth.
Sirius pouted. "You made me loose count. We have to go down and start again." He said.
"You do that now." Remus said.
Sirius scowled at him. "When's this going to-OUCH!"
His head collided with a trap door.
He rubbed it scowled up at it.
"Finally." Peter said holding a stitch in his chest.
James pushed open the trap door a crack and looked around the room outside of it.
"Come on." He said and climbed out of the passage way.
"Where are we?" Remus asked.
"We're in the storage room of Honeydukes." James whispered. "Come on,"
They climbed the stairs out of the storage room and went through the door.
They all ducked to go around the counter.
Since there was so many people, nobody noticed. (A/N: You could rob that store easily)
"Whoa." Peter said looking up at all the shelves of sweets.
"Get ready to stock up!" Sirius said bringing out a bag of money from his robes.
~
"Argh. Cecilia's impossible!" Sara said.
Lily nodded her head.
"You've just noticed that?"
Sara glared at her.
"And what's with you and Arabella locking me in the boys bathroom while one of them was taking a shower huh?"
Lily grinned guiltily.
"I wonder where the boys have gone? The common rooms oddly quiet without them here." Arabella said changing the subject...sort of.
Sara looked around the common room.
"Yeah...oh well."
"You know what I was thinking?" Arabella asked.
"You were thinking? It's a miracle!" Lily said throwing her arms up in the air.
Arabella gave her a look.
"Well, since the boys have called themselves the Marauders, I thought we should be named something." She said.
"Great idea Bella!" Lily said.
"Well, what should we call each ourselves?" Sara asked.
They stared at each other.
"We could be called the Marauderettes!" Arabella said.
Sara and Lily laughed.
"We could be called 'Las' or 'Sal'." Lily said.
Sara and Arabella raised an eyebrow.
"It's our initials! Come on, you guys don't have any ideas." Lily said.
"Hey, I said the 'Marauderettes." Arabella said.
"How about I call you 'mud' Bella?" Sara said smirking.
Arabella frowned.
Lily laughed. "That's a good idea! Right, your name is 'Mud' now Arabella." She said.
Arabella sighed and stood up.
"I'm going to...take a walk. See you guys later." She said.
"OK, see you later Mud!" Lily and Sara said.
"Shut up!" Arabella said as she left out the portrait hole.
"Poor girl, we're so mean." Lily said.
"But it's funny!" Sara said.
"True, true." Lily said nodding.
~
"So, I think we've got enough stuff to last for a while." James said.
"And it's getting a little dark, people will start to wonder..." Sirius said.
"Let's walk slow, while we eat our ice cream." Peter said.
~
Sara and Lily looked up as the Marauders came back in the common room.
Lily raised an eyebrow at Sara as they saw the Marauders were grinning and they came over to them.
"Were you eating?" Lily asked as the Marauders quickly wiped their hands on the inside of their robes to get away any of the ice cream that might have dripped.
(Although, there were little patches of ice cream on the sides of their lips)
Sara wiped the side of Sirius's lips with her finger and licked it (A/N: Her finger).
"Ice cream! You WERE eating!" She said.
The boys smiled guiltily.
"Yeah, so?" Peter said.
Lily rolled her eyes. (A/N: is it just me, or do they seem to do that a lot?)
"Where'd you get the ice cream?" Sara asked.
"Er..." The boys said and looked at each other.
"We're tired, we're going to go to bed." James said and they scampered up to the boys' dormitory.
Sara and Lily looked at each other.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Lily asked.
"Yeah, I want some ice cream." Sara said.
Lily didn't know whether to laugh or to sigh.
~
R/R! Well, thanks again. This chapter was based on what happened to me with my friend and my boyfriend. I was over at her house and her brother James (that's right, my boyfriend, but he wasn't at the time, I just liked him) was taking a shower and I was suppose to grab his watch for truth or dare. Well, Eve (my friend) locked me in the bathroom and yelled out 'Got your watch!' and he leaps out of the shower stark naked while I stand there embarrassed (Although I probably wasn't as embarrassed as he was), and he just stares at me like an idiot. He finally realized that he wasn't wearing anything and tried to cover himself up. Ha ha... Well, there you go. Thanks to you Eve for making this chapter happen! (I'm going to kill you!) LoL Review!
Anyway, I'll get over it. Maybe...
Now, who's up for a little chappy?
And thanks guys, you made me feel better.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Lily asked.
"Yeah, I want some ice cream." Sara said.
Lily didn't know whether to laugh or to sigh.

R/R! Well, thanks again. This chapter was based on what happened to me with my friend and my boyfriend. I was over at her house and her brother James (that's right, my boyfriend, but he wasn't at the time, I just liked him) was taking a shower and I was suppose to grab his watch for truth or dare. Well, Eve (my friend) locked me in the bathroom and yelled out 'Got your watch!' and he leaps out of the shower stark naked while I stand there embarrassed (Although I probably wasn't as embarrassed as he was), and he just stares at me like an idiot. He finally realized that he wasn't wearing anything and tried to cover himself up. Ha ha... Well, there you go. Thanks to you Eve for making this chapter happen! (I'm going to kill you!) LoL Review!
