James Potter and the Insanity of The Marauders

Chapter Three: Gum

By: Felicia Rocks

"How do you know her?"

"Does she always act that way?"

"Do you fancy her?"

Sirius, Remus, and Peter asked once Lily had left.

"I met her outside of the train, I think so, and NO!" James said sounding very irritated.

"Just wonderin' Jamsie poo," Said Sirius very innocently.

James getting very annoyed at Sirius picked up a Chocolate Frog and threw it at him. Sirius then started throwing Bertie Bots every flavor beans at James, occasionally hitting Remus or Peter. This was the start of a very big food fight. Before long, there was Chocolate Frogs, Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans, and Droobles Best Blowing Gum flying everywhere.

Soon they realized that they had just changed into their brand new Hogwarts robes, which were now covered in food.

"What, May I ask, are you doing?" A voice said from the doorway. The boys turned to see a very pretty blonde, Keely.

"Who are you?" Sirius said.

"Keely Smith, you?" Keely asked, although she already knew who he was.

"Sirius Black, at your service," he said with a bow.

"And that's Jamsie poo, Remmy, and Petey," Sirius said pointing each of the three boys out.

"James Potter, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew," James corrected.

"Okay then," Keely said uncertainly.

"So, What are you doing here anyway?" James said looking at Keely with that stupid grin of his.

"Well, I was going to ask you something, "she said looking at Sirius," but I've changed my mind

"Well, what was it?" Sirius asked looking at her with suspicion.

"I said I changed my mind, you idiot," Keely said.

"Please!" Sirius said falling to his knees.

"No!"

"Please!"

"No!"

"Please!"

"No!"

"Please!"

"No!"

"Please!"

"No!"

"Please!"

"You know what?" Keely said sounding very agitated.

"You will finally tell me?" Sirius said looking hopeful.

"I'm out of here!" Keely said. She was about to exit the compartment when-

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! MY HAIR!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY BEAUTIFUL HAIR!" Keely screamed.

Sirius had thrown a whole wad of gum into her hair. She ran down the corridor still screaming. She was trying to get as far away from them as she could, that she didn't notice the fact that she ran into someone.

"Sorry," Keely said trying to catch her breath. The girl in front of her started to laugh.

"You have something in your hair, right about there," the girl said while pointing to the gum, and before Keely could respond, she gave an evil laugh and went into her own compartment.

Keely too, continued to walk until she reached her own compartment. When she entered, Danielle immediately began to laugh.

Keely didn't find it very funny, so she picked up one of her textbooks and threw it at Danielle's head.

"Serve's you right!" Danielle said as she rubbed her head where the book had hit her.

"What happened?" Lily asked knowing better than to laugh, but still had a slight smile.

"Well, you're lover," she said pointing to Danielle, "put gum in my hair and I kind of freaked out a little."

Danielle doubled over laughing, although not before hitting Keely for her little remark.

"OH! So that was you who screamed!" Lily said this time not hiding her laughter as well.

"Haha, but to make matters worse, I ran into this little witch who stated the obvious by telling me there was gum in my hair. How stupid can you get?" Keely said.

"Do you really want me to answer that?" Danielle asked still laughing.

Lily wasn't listening. She was too busy wondering whether this was the same girl she had met earlier, she had the same attitude.

"I'm surprised I don't know her name! I know EVERYONE'S name!" Keely said sounding very frustrated.

"This girl, what did she look like?" Lily asked trying to sound off hand.

"Well, blonde hair, blue eyes, and a sour face," Keely said.

Danielle, who was staring out of the window, thinking about whether Keely was right about Sirius, turned when she heard Keely's description. She though about it for a second and then said:

"Laurren Moore."
