Chapter 7
(In which Peter Acts In A Stupide Manner)
Lacie Errata was looking at her new dormitory. Belle came out from looking in the bathroom.
"Lace! The bathroom is darling. There are little pearly coloured stalls and gorgeous golden showers. I do like this place so far Lace! Don't you?"
Lacie sat on a four-poster bed that she had claimed as her own.
It had a cherry-red quilt sitting on it with huge jade-coloured pillows everywhere on it. She had hung many posters on her wall, of muggle actors and favourite supermodels.
Her favourite actor, though, was an emerging wizard play-actor. His name was Donald Fitzgerald. Her favourite model was named Elle Delacour. She was a veela and was much adored, especially by her male fans.
So there, Lacie sat, as if in her own world. Belle looked at her oddly. She waved her hand in Lacie's face.
"Huh? What! Belle! Would you kindly remove your hand from my face?"
"I asked you a question Lacie! Would you kindly answer me?"
"What was that question Belle? I'm afraid I wasn't paying attention."
"I asked you, do you not like this Hogwarts so far?"
Lacie tossed her head.
"How dare that James Potter say that I am stuffy and snobbish? He does not even know who I am! The insolence!"
Belle looked at Lacie in surprise.
"That was hours ago! How can you still be thinking about it! And I didn't ask you about James! I asked you about Hogwarts!"
"Oh of course. I love Hogwarts! Though, I might be lacking loyalty, I definitely think that Hogwarts is much better than Beauxbatons!"
"Poor Marie! She really made a mistake when she said she didn't want to come here."
"Yes she did!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suddenly, the door opened. Both girls, startled, looked to see who it was.
"Oh, I'm sorry! Did I just interrupt some secret discussion? I just wanted to get my notebook."
It was just Naina.
"Oh no, you didn't interrupt anything. We were just saying how much we liked Hogwarts so far."
Lacie asked, "Why do you need your notebook?"
Naina giggled,
" Oh, Remus and I were looking at our schedules tomorrow, and we have double history of magic. Personally, I think that's worse than Potions. So Sirius had this marvellous idea and..."
"Wait, wait! Did you just say Sirius had a good idea!"
Naina looked at Belle's surprise and laughed.
" I know, I wouldn't have believed it myself, but I was there! Anyways, he said that we should stage an argument. A huge one, where everyone can get involved. I decided that it should be boys against girls, a sexist argument. Those always open up the most discussion and bad words. Ha, ha!"
Belle smiled.
"Is history of magic really that boring?"
Naina looked at her in shock.
" You mean, your history of magic class is fun?"
"Oh no. We don't have history of magic. We just learn the history of each subject in that subject."
"Oh you lucky thing! Professor Binns is the most monotonous creature ever born! I mean, he is a-"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Naina! Where the hell are you! Sirius is awaiting your little notebook! Actually he's awaiting your arse. He can't wait to see his true-beloved!"
"Shut your damn cake-hole Moony! I don't have a crush on Naina!"
"I never brought up the subject Padfoot old chap."
Such sounds were what came from the common room below.
Lacie looked up from her reverie. She laughed when she heard the conversation of Remus and Sirius. She got up and said,
"C'mon you two! Someone's awaiting you downstairs Naina."
Naina laughed.
"Yeah right."
She yelled to the marauders as she came to the common room,
"As much as I love to disagree with Sirius and to make him feel as uncomfortable as possible, I can't agree with you Remie. The day Sirius likes me is when we end one of our arguments with a full-fledged kiss, and turn our biggest and bestest dispute into an out-to-out snog-fest. And that will never happen!" declared Naina.
Remus just laughed, his white teeth showing.
"We'll see Nai, we'll see."
Lacie came over to Sirius.
"D'ya mind if we joined you in your prank? I haven't played a prank since the time I turned the Blaircos' hair Chassid colours. It was fabulous! Every Blairco boy had royal blue hair with white highlights and every Blairco girl had snow-white hair with royal-blue streaks! Madame Shevaire could not reverse the spell for two days! Belle, Marie, and I laughed over that one for quite a while!"
Belle giggled in the memory.
"Oh, the poor Blaircos! Not! Now Beauxbatons must be absolutely boring! Marie would never have the courage to pull of a trick on her own. Ha! Oh the memories!"
Sirius had been staring at them, his eyes getting wider and wider at each sentence. Lacie noticed him and said crossly,
"Now really! You people must definitely stop this staring thing! It's just not polite!"
Sirius shook his head violently and then laughed.
"Sorry Lace! It's just that that's a very interesting prank. And to think that the two of you could think of that! Wow!"
Lacie grinned, so pleased with the praise, that she didn't reprimand him for calling her Lace without permission.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just then, Peter came in through the door of the room. He looked very pleased with himself. Remus noticed this and commented.
Peter grinned and said,
"Finally! I got it! After working so hard for six damn years!"
"What did you get old boy!"
" A full-fledged membership in TMEBIH!"
"That's great! Who got you in?"
" Cara Hotly! Damn seductive, that girl is!"
"Wormtail! You didn't!"
"Didn't what?"
Remus rolled his eyes.
" Peter! Cara Hotly is going out with James! Didn't you know! You really are an ass-hole!"
Peter was about to say, how he didn't give a shit. He got Cara and a membership. He didn't even have to go through a list. Playing around with Cara was very useful and James should get over it.
When James himself came in.
He was obviously in a horrendous mood. He slammed the door, didn't even stop to flirt with the group of seventh-year girls, brushed off the fourth-years without a word and flicked off girls' boyfriends who he usually would ignore.
He stopped right in front of Sirius and grabbed him as if to punch him. Sirius pushed him off and looked a little alarmed.
"What the hell James! Are you nuts!"
"You took her didn't you?! Damn! It was either you or Remus! Who else but the marauders would even dare take another marauder's chic! If it was you, which it probably was, I swear I'll throw you out of the marauders!"
"Damn it James! Cool it! Neither one of us took Cara!"
"Who else but a marauder would!"
Peter was terrified of James's mood, but he was miffed
(A/N: do you know I luv that word! It's so quaint!)
at the fact that James didn't even consider him to be brave enough to steal his chic. Wasn't he part of the marauders too? His anger got the better of him.
" James!"
James turned to look at him.
"Remus and Sirius aren't the only marauders! I'm here too!"
James was still outraged, but the words made him smile.
"Yeah, but Pete! C'mon! You wouldn't do such a thing."
"I can! And I did! Cara came to me and I didn't say no."
"Are you for real!" James was fuming.
"You took Cara when you knew I was going out with her! How dare you! You fuckin' bastard!"
Peter was now scared. What was he going to do to him? The marauders never cussed at each other. For fun, yeah. But not for real! Shit! This wasn't good.
" You little piece of shit! I will give you a good payback for this. Count on it Pettigrew!"
Peter was scared, but was trying not to show it, so the words,
"Oh yeah! What are you gonna' do about it Mr. Perfect!" came out harsher than it was supposed to.
James was speechless. How dare Peter talk to him like this? How dare he do such a thing! Only one thing could punish him for that.
"That's it. Peter Pettigrew, you are no longer apart of the marauders. You have just been officially thrown out! You no longer have the title of Fourth Marauder to wear any more. You are now just plain little Peter Pettigrew."
"What! You fuck-head! You can't do that! It has to be put to a motion, that motion be granted, and then a vote to be seconded!"
"Fine! I put the motion to vote Peter out of the marauders. And as I am the head of the marauders, I grant my motion. I vote Peter out! Who seconds it?" He glanced around.
Everyone else just stood speechless. Sirius and Remus didn't know what to say. They were just bewildered. And shocked. A marauder stole another one's girl! And that marauder wanted to throw the first one out! Crazy!
Naina was just looking at Peter. One thought just kept flashing through her head. When Naina had first been accepted into the marauders, Peter had looked down on her. He couldn't stand that this girl was accepted even to the sacred marauders!
And Peter had been horrible to her. That was the thought that kept going through her brain.
"I second that vote! I vote for it James!"
James, who had been standing there, outraged, that no one had seconded his vote yet, was even more surprised that someone agreed with him. But he lost no time.
"Alright! Good! Thank you Naina! There Pettigrew! Everything was done according to the rules. You are now officially not apart of the marauders! And so you have no reason to be hanging around with any of us. Now get lost traitor!"
Peter, who was shocked that Naina had voted to throw him out, was fuming mad. He could not even open his mouth. He gave a killing glare to everyone and stomped out.
Belle was shocked at what she had witnessed, Disgusted at what Peter had done and scared of how James had acted. She could not speak.
That was not Lacie's case.
"That little shit-head! He didn't even care! He acted as if this Cara Hotly was a freakin' thing instead of a damn person!"
James looked at her, as if surprised to even see her. Then he frowned.
"That's not the point! He stole her from me! And what really bites me is that all he really had to do was wait a day or two more and I would have been done with her and given her to Peter!"
Lacie, turned to face him, her eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"Ex-excuse me! Did-did I here correctly? Are you serious! You're acting as if she's a damn tissue! What the hell is wrong with you! How can you treat an actual human being like that! You little shit-head! You should be thrown out of your little club too! Ugh!"
And with that, she stocked off. Naina flicked off James and ran up behind Lacie. Belle stayed down.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What! Are you gonna start yelling at me too?"
Belle started. "Me? No. Lacie certainly has a point, but I guess you do too, even though you certainly do not know how to state it. You sure are a dick-head, but I really am not in the mood for any more insults. How about we discuss your little joke instead?"
Remus grinned, very happy that this girl had such good sense. Sirius also grinned. Anything was better than discussing the catastrophe that had just happened. And pranks were much better.
"You bet! Now, here's what I propose we do!"
And Sirius, Belle, and Remus sat in a far corner, where nobody could disturb them, so they could start their masterpiece.
James just stood there. How was it that in just one day, his whole world was falling down? Something completely different must have happened today. What was so different today, that it could have jinxed him? Think. Think.
Lacie! Lacie Errata! Hadn't she arrived at Hogwarts today? God! That girl was going to be the death of him!
[Did I think that Lacie was ANYTHING like Lily! What a mistake! The absolute opposite! Not at all just like her!]
~~~~~***~~~~~
A/N: Um, that was a bit dark. Do you agree?
I didn't like this chapter too much. First of all, it revolved a bit too much around Peter. Then, everyone got mad at each other. I hope it wasn't too bad though.
(Don't Lacie and James just HATE each other! I'm so sad, but my fingers just type without even ASKING me what I want to do! Insane!)
Could you please do me a favour and review? I really, really LUV reviews! Try. Please. Kay, that's all. Thanx! :)
(And pleaze... can you pleaze try my other story... It's Just The Way It Was... [don't try the other one if you don't want... since i have no idea how to write the next chapter to it]... I just really wish you would because I really want to know if you guys like it or not? I hope you do! And I hope you like this story! And i write waaay too many author's notes... and remember to review! And... bye!!!!)

Chapter 7
(In which Peter Acts In A Stupide Manner)
Lacie Errata was looking at her new dormitory. Belle came out from looking in the bathroom.
"Lace! The bathroom is darling. There are little pearly coloured stalls and gorgeous golden showers. I do like this place so far Lace! Don't you?"
