CHAPTER FOUR: THE PLAGUES OF FAN CLUBS

They were now in the second month of their first year. James, Sirius, Remus and Peter had gained reputations as troublemakers, and they even had a name for themselves. The Marauders. There was also a JP&SBFC. James Potter & Sirius Black Fan Club. James and Sirius had like different girlfriends every week. There was also a RRFC. Riley Rivers Fan Club. Riley kept away from them as much as she could. Lily wasn't surprised that boys were chasing after her, but she was that boys could actually make a fan club.

"Hey James!" called Riley, coming down the stairs to the girl's dormitory, "Who's your new girlfriend this week? Some Slytherin now?"

James scowled. "No. It's Genevieve Hatton a second year from Gryffindor. She might just be prettier than you, Ms. Rivers."

Riley sat down in a squashy chair by the fire. "Thank goodness. Now the RRFC can just chase dear old Genevieve."

Sirius scrambled up from the other side of the room. "Jamie, I gotta see that Genevieve if she's better-looking than Riley."

James sighed. "No, Gen's not better looking than Riley, unfortunately. Probably no one is."

Riley shrugged. "Too bad. Does anyone know how to get rid of that idiotic Fan club I have? There's even Slytherins in it."

"WHAT?"

Riley shrugged again. "Not my fault."

Just then, a brown-haired, green eyed girl came down from the girl's dormitory. "My honey bunny!" she cried, and threw herself at James. He backed away hurriedly.

"This isn't Genevieve Hatton," frowned Riley, "This is Tina Grewsh."

"Yeah, I know," replied James. Just then, a blond screamed and tossed herself at James.

"Hello Gen," said James a bit awkwardly.

"Hi Jamie-poo!" she said cheerfully, then glared at Riley, "who's this?"

Sirius, who was rolling around on the floor, laughing hysterically gasped, "His cousin?" He laughed even more.

"Oh," Gen looked coolly at Riley, "C'mon, Jamie-poo!"

Riley giggled. "Bye, Jamie-poo!"

Lily had come down by now and had heard the last bit of conversation. She was laughing hard. "Jamie-poo! Hahahahah!"

Sirius had a hand on an armchair and was hauling himself up, still laughing. Riley was staring strangely at him. "What is wrong with you guys?" she muttered.

"It's just that James-" began Sirius but was cut off by shrieks. "Siri!" screamed a redhead and she came running for Sirius.

Sirius hugged her. "Hi Candy!"

Riley was watching this exchange with a grin. "Hey Sirius, didn't Prof. Brewster predict that you were to beware a certain redhead?"

Candace, or Candy, broke away from Sirius. "Me?" she wailed.

"No no," reassured Sirius, "Prof. Brewster meant Lily."

Candy glanced at Lily and her long red hair. "Oh. Come on Siri! I'm hungry!" Then she shot a glance at Riley. "Who's that?"

"That's Riley Rivers," said Sirius and quickly led her out of the common room. "Let's get some breakfast."

Riley was laughing so hard she had to hang on to Lily. Lily was grinning too. Suddenly there was a shout. "Riley! Come here!" It was a male voice. Riley looked up instinctively. It was a Gryffindor third-year, with a badge that said "RRFC".

"No!" muttered Riley under her breath. She pulled Lily out of the common room. The boy was joined by others and they were right on the girls' tail. Riley skidded into the Great Hall and sat down next to Sirius, who was kissing with Candy. Others were staring, but the couple took no notice. Riley grabbed a toast and pulled Lily away again. They ran as fast as they could back into the Gryffindor common room, and up the stairs to the girls' dormitories.

"Whew," sighed Riley, "If I have to spend everyday like this I'm gonna be depressed."

Lily was tapping her foot impatiently. "I need some breakfast, Riley. I'm going back out."

Riley sighed. "I'm coming."

Riley opened the door. About twenty boys were waiting at the bottom of the staircase. She closed it. "On the other hand, I think I'll just jump out the window."

In the end, Lily dragged Riley along, and Riley was swarmed by boys. She took a book and hit one on the head. He passed out.

"One down, nineteen to go," muttered Lily, "not much progress. C'mon."

Riley appeared in the Great Hall five minutes after, feeling a lot better. All the boys had been left in a pertificus totalus state.

She sat down next to Sirius, and Lily sat down next to James. They and their girls were holding hands. Riley inched away from Sirius. She scowled. "This is ridiculous."

Sirius glared. " Then go sit somewhere else."

Riley was hurt but she didn't show it. "There is nowhere else, and I wasn't talking about you I was talking about that hell of a fan club," she said peevishly. Just then, the Gryffindor sixth-year sitting next to Lily got up. Riley took the chance and switched seats. Lily rolled her eyes at James and Sirius.

I know there's not much point to the story, but it'll get much better and that Remus, Peter, and Mary Tess doesn't appear in this chapter, but they'll appear a lot in the next cause the next is second year!
