A/n I LOVE YOU GUYS! I have gotten some of the sweetest reviews though I am only two chapters into this story. One warning though: A really nasty prank by the Marauders in this chapter. Oh and I did the math (GASP) James sleeping with 102 girls is possible if he slept with 34 girls since third year. As nasty as that is it proves my point.
Three weeks later the Marauders still hadn't played their prank. Lily, Bella, and Cassie noticed this but they didn't really think of it to much because of all the homework they had acquired.
"Lily, can I have the charms. Here's potions," Arabella said. The three were all sitting in the common room, surrounded by about fifty books. They were each doing one of the assignments then trading off the papers and re wording it. Lily hadn't liked this idea at first but had given in when June gave a large assignment. "Hold on, why did I get potions and you guys got the easy stuff?"
"Because you love us," Lily replied handing her the finished essay.
"Because you're smarter," Cassie added.
"Cuter,"
"And the best friend we could ever ask for."
"Yeah,, Yeah." Bella said rubbing her eyes as the clock struck midnight.
"Can we sleep now?" Cassie asked finishing up transfiguration.
"I guess, what more are we gonna get done if we're half asleep,"
They quickly collected the books and went to bed unaware that tomorrow would be a day they didn't want to face.
The three entered the Great Hall smiles on their faces. Lily watched Arabella's face turn white.
"What." Inside the Great Hall hung something much like a newspaper article, enlarged by fifty. The headline read: Arabella Figg: Abused at Home
Recently, we have learned that Arabella Figg, 16, has been abused since she was 8 years old by her father Greg Figg, 45. Bruises are commonly found on the girl who has resorted to sleeping around to ease her pain. "She comes to school with black eyes, and is known to sleep with any guy willing." a fellow classmate, Sirius Black, 16, tells us…..
Next to the article was a picture of Bella being beat by her father. Lily's eyes widened. Why had they only targeted her?
Bella's face was paler than snow. The article was from the Daily Prophet. "No, this can't be happening," she whispered, the entire hall watching her. Sirius sat there looking smug. A pop was heard and a new article and picture appeared.
Lily Evans, Muggle Born Whore
It is a common occurrence at Hogwarts School of witch craft and wizardry that Lily Evans, a muggle born, sleeps around. "She is known to sleep with teachers to get good grades." Classmate James Potter, 16, states. "She has had many abortions and is labeled the Muggle born whore". He also tells us that she has a three year old daughter and has tried to commit suicide many times…..
Next to it was a picture of lily in a hospital bed holding a baby. Lily's face became the shade of Bella's. This had to be some kind of joke. Another pop was heard and it switched to yet another article.
Pure Blood thrown out
Cassandra Black, 16, has been tossed out by Richard and Emma Black two highly regarded members of our society. "She was abandoned because of the numerous men she has slept with and the fact that she is friends with Hogwarts Whore Lily Evans and The Abused Arabella Figg," Remus Lupin, 16, uncovers to us…..
Cassie turned the oh to familiar white and the three looked at the Marauders. All three gave them looks of victory. Lily took a deep breath and marched over there Bella and Cassie following.
"How dare you," Bella said, tears in her always cheerful eyes. Sirius' eyes widened as he saw them. "What happens to me when I'm at home is none of your business let alone the entire wizarding populations. For five years we have put up with you and your pranks, you've crossed the line. I don't sleep around and you as well as the entire school knows it. Black, this was the last straw," the tears had started to flow freely now.
"Arabella, I" he started but was silenced when she punched him.
"James I can't believe you, of all the things you have ever done this was the worst, First of all Potter IM A VIRGIN! You hear that V-I-R-G-I-N......virgin. But what you did to me wasn't half as bad as what you did to Bella and Cassie those were their secrets and you let the whole freaking world know. YOU DISGUST ME and to think I loved you." She too punched him.
"Lupin you were the best of them, but what you did I hope you jump in the lake and drown. You had no right to tell everyone I don't live with my parents anymore just because my perfect older brother still does it doesn't mean I have to, THANKS SO MUCH FOR LETTING EVERYONE KNOW. Oh and by the way I don't sleep around," Remus then experienced one of the threes punches too.
Needless to say, the Marauders felt like shyt.
A/n I'm mean, I can't believe I let them do that. Anyway for those who were wondering Rita Skeeter, just starting out, wrote the articles. They paid her to do so, Thanks again for the reviews
