CAPTION HERE. These ain't our characters. Except for some. 'Tis ok.
Chapter three: How the war began
James stood there staring at the retreating backs of those two twin girls and that man, who seem to remind him highly of Snape, the seventh year Slytherin, but older.
"Yo, Prongs, snap out of it. We got a game to win."
Sirius, James's best friend and fellow Marauder called snapping James out of his daze. James looked up to see everyone waiting on him. He climbed onto his broom to finish the game against the Slytherins. It didn't take long; they won 250-10, creaming the snakes.
Everyone crowded around James, Sirius and the rest of their team. Lily stood shyly just outside the crowd. James spotted her, walked over and gave her a passionate kiss. There were a couple of catcalls, which no doubt came from Sirius, Peter and Remus. James flipped Sirius the finger.
"Come on lover boy; bring your girl too, because there's a feast waiting for us in the Great Hall." Sirius swung his arms over Peter's and Remus' shoulders, steering them to the castle. Lily stuck her tongue out at the three boys.
Once they reached the hall there was that man from the pitch who was sitting in the spot where Professor Grumble. The professor had been killed during an attack on Hogsmead a couple of weeks ago. The two girls were sitting chatting happily together at the Slytherin table.
"Damn we lost them to the snakes." Sirius shook his head sadly.
"Oh well, you still go out with Slytherins if I'm not mistaken," Remus pointed out.
Last year Sirius had gone out with seven Slytherins in two weeks.
Remus, Sirius and Peter sat on one side of the Gryffindor table, while James and Lilly sat on the other side.
Dumbledore stood up, everyone went quiet.
"May I have your attention please? Since Professor Grumble left we couldn't find a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher till now Professor MacLeod will be the head of Slytherin also. His two daughters," Dumbledore waved his hand to the Slytherin table were they were having a heated argument, "Are also Slytherins. They just moved here from Beauxbatons. So please make them feel welcome."
The two girls still didn't pay attention. Their fellow Slytherins gave them weird looks. Dumbledore just shrugged before continuing.
"And I believe that Gryffindor had just won the first game of the season."
With that, the hall erupted in noise- cheering mostly except for the boos from the Slytherin table. The two girls were now leaving the hall together, leaving their food untouched.
"Wanna play a prank on those two new snakes?" Sirius asked grinning at his fellow Marauders. The three other boys smiled with identical grins.
Getting up from the table, the 4 marauders snuck from the great hall, only catching the attention of the people at the end of the tables. They snuck quickly, one behind the other, around the pillar entering the great hall, and behind their favorite tapestry- the Ravenclaw.
It was large enough to cover all of them, and they often left their prank items behind it, where no one would think to look.
Reaching their large tapestry, they pulled a large black bucket of green tinged jelly from behind one of the tassels that reached to the floor. Sirius, nodding to James, picked up the bucket, while James, taking out his wand, levitated it so that it did not spill. James then proceeded to levitate it high into the darkness of the arches of the castle. Using a vision that enabled only them to see the high bucket, they positioned it over the arguing females.
As the males crept closer to the girls, they could overhear the conversation.
"How can you say that?! It's not all my fault!" cried the one with wavy jet black hair.
"Well, it's not my fault at all!" retorted the other one, with the straight hair.
There was silence.
Then, in a low voice, the wavy haired one spoke.
"Yeah, I know I'm the reason why we're here, but you don't need to rub it in. You don't think I feel bad that this happened?"
"Now, I didn't say that," was her reply.
"Yes, you did. I know you, remember? You're my twin sister, and I know your mind. You think that I don't feel bad for getting us here." Her sister sighed.
"It's not that. It's just, I want to go home."
"Oh, and I don't? Dad seems to be the only one who's happy here." Her sister looked at her strangely.
"Hey yeah, your right. Look, he's got everything he's ever wanted, here. Why are we arguing?"
The reply was simple yet factual.
"I don't know," replied the straight haired girl.
The girls smiled at each other, until the straight haired girl caught sight of something from the corner of her eye. Smiling slightly, she motioned to where the boys crouched, James still levitating the bucket, which their keen eyes spied in the darkness above.
Linking arms, the girls began walking back to the great hall.
Sirius, giving the signal, shut his eyes to hold back his laughter at the mental image of the girls being drenched in green jelly.
The girls, however, took out their own wands and summoned a gust of wind to move the tipping bucket in the direction of the boys. The boys, expecting an easy pranking, moved too late, and were covered in jelly from their heads to their toes.
The two girls walked away laughing quietly to themselves.
"This means war fellow marauders." James hissed under his breath whipping the green jelly off his glasses.
