Chapter 5: The Marauders
I blushed tremendously as the whole lot of them grinned at us.
"Sorry 'bout that, Sirius," I said, trying not to look at him from embarrassment. I glanced behind me. Kelsey was biting her lip to keep from gaping. Lily gave me a make-this-quick-so-I-don't-have-to-deal-with-him look. The other's looked unfazed.
"S'alright, Caroline," Sirius said grinning. I gulped and exhaled to keep from swooning. I had only read that small part in the fifth Harry Potter book, but it was true. He was EXTREMELY good-looking. Definity not like he looked after Azkaban. (A/N: no duh!) I glanced beside him.
"Hey James," I said shyly. He grinned and nodded his head in acknowledgement. I noticed him glancing at Lily every now and then, almost making me laugh. I turned to Lupin.
"Hi Remus," I said. He smiled back at me.
"Hey," he said simply. I couldn't help but glance at Kelsey. She had straightened up and raised her chin a bit. It was so funny! I then glanced at Peter. My spine stiffened. He looked so pathetic and harmless. I was shocked that he would actually end up becoming a follower of Voldemort. It made me sick, looking at him while Lily and James were right there. I tried to smile.
"Peter." I said icily. I looked back at the others. Remembering Lily's expression, I looked back at James, Sirius and Remus.
"Well, see you all later," I said quickly and pushed around them, the rest of the girls behind me.
There were a few scattered goodbyes, but very strangely, no sort of sound from James to Lily. Lily looked shocked as well.
"God, that was awkward," I let out once the guys were out of ear- shot. I looked at Lily. "Lily, did you see that? He didn't say one thing to you!"
She shook her head in disbelief.
"I know! It was the strangest thing!" she exclaimed. Kathleen giggled.
"Like I said, maybe he's changing." She said in a sing songy voice. Kelsey looked at me. I grinned. They have no idea.
James and the gang were just as I imagined them! James looked SO much like Harry. More than I thought! Kelsey and I both agreed that Remus was much more attractive than we thought. And Sirius was an all-around ladies man. You could tell by the way he looked at all of us. What scared me the most was that they were real! My friends back in'03 and I would just imagine them, but now they were close enough to touch. (A/N: Don't get the wrong idea, ppl!) I assumed Kelsey felt the same way because she had this bemused grin on her face. I elbowed her and cocked an eyebrow behind me in the direction of the Marauders. She grinned sheepishly and gave me a dreamy look. I laughed inside, just as we walked into the Great Hall.
James, Remus, Sirius and Peter walked down a corridor. They had already eaten breakfast and were going back to the common room to get extra books they needed for class. James was pretty much silent most of the way. The others noticed this, but didn't say anything. When it had become too quiet for too long, Sirius spoke up.
"Somethin' happened back there, mate. Even the girls were shocked that you didn't say ONE WORD to Evans. I could tell," Sirius said slyly. James shrugged.
"Didn't have the energy, I guess." He said. Sirius arched his eyebrow at him. He glanced at Remus and Peter. They both shrugged. Sirius studied James for a moment. He didn't necessarily believe James' excuse.

I had the most AMAZING breakfast in the Great Hall. It was amazing anyways being in this MASSIVE room that I had seen in all the movies, but what I enjoyed the most was the pumpkin juice! That's like, all they drink in the books and reading them all, I've always wondered, "How do you make PUMPKIN juice?" and "Is it any good?" Lemme say something. It is the most incredible drink I had ever tasted!!! Oh my gosh, I'll never want to drink a soda again! Seriously, I thought egg nog was good, pumpkin juice, you can't compete with. I had 3 goblets full!
After breakfast, most everyone were departing from the Great Hall, so all us girls flung our book bags over our shoulders and made way to our first class of Hogwarts.
DEFENSE AGAINST THE DARK ARTS
I squeezed into a seat next to Kelsey. I spotted James a few seats ahead of me, Sirius was behind him, and Remus was in front of me, which obviously made Kelsey flip. The other house that shares our class with the Gryffindors was Slytherin. Kelsey noticed too and we were both immediately started searching the heads for whom else? Bellatrix Black and Severus Snape. Kelsey found Snape instantly. She found the first guy with greasy hair and it was him. I finally found Bellatrix. She was laughing evilly with a group of Slytherin girls. He had long wavy, sleek black hair and fathomless black eyes. Much like Sirius's. She was very pretty, but she had that evil stepmother look. It disgusted me, but I turned away when Professor Whipple (A/N:-P) called the class to order.
"Alright class! Welcome back to Hogwarts! Today we will be discussing illegal curses. Now, raise you hand if you can name one,"
I remembered that Harry had this discussion in this fourth year with Moody, so I hesitantly raised my hand. Kelsey looked at me as if I was mad, but I blocked it out. Professor Whipple nodded her head to me.
"Yes, Miss Lefave?" Oh god. I thought to myself. She knew my last name, but then again, everyone seemed to know my name, so that didn't faze me. I swallowed nervously as heads turned to look at me. I answered quickly.
"Erm. the Cruciatus Curse. It causes immense pain," I said. Kelsey looked impressed. She probably didn't remember that. Professor Whipple smiled and nodded.
"Well done, Miss Lefave. Three points for Gryffindor!" There were a few quiet cheers and thank-you's here and there that made me feel very, very good.
"Okay, can anyone name another one?" Professor Whipple started again. To my excitement, James hand went into the air.
"Yes, Potter?"
"Avada Kavadra. The Killing Curse," he answered. My eyes widened. It was the first time I had ever heard his voice, and it was fun to listen too.
"Good job, Potter. Another three points! Yes, the Killing Curse. You can never survive it and no one ever has. Probably no one will," said Professor Whipple.
My eyebrows shot up. It pained me to hear James mention Avada Kavadra when he was killed by it himself even though he didn't know yet. And Harry would be the only one to survive the curse and they don't know that either. Only Kelsey and I. Kelsey elbowed me. She must have been thinking about the same thing.
Through out the class, I noticed James glance at Lily a few times and it felt so great to be able to be here during the time they got together. But I realized something from before. After we had encountered the Marauders in the hallway, Lily had this look that said "Why didn't he say anything?" like she half WANTED him to badger her. There was definitely and unspoken attraction and I wasn't going to sit around and wait.
After Professor Whipple dismissed us, I waited until Sirius was alone and I went up to him. Kelsey beside me.
"Sirius!" I called not-so-loudly. He turned to me and furrowed his eyebrows waiting for me to catch up. Once I was in front of him, I asked.
"Did notice at breakfast in the hallway that James said NOTHING to Lily?" Sirius widened his eyes as if he agreed.
"You noticed too?! I was completely shocked. He's never passed her without saying SOMETHING," he said in a VERY handsome kind of way. "I asked him after you all had left and he said he just didn't have the energy," I scoffed.
"No energy! He has enough energy to tame a dragon!" I exclaimed. Kelsey nodded in agreement. I then expressed my thoughts to Sirius on the matter.
"Ya know, after you guys had left, Lily had this look on her face as though she half wanted him to badger her and when he didn't, she looked DISSAPOINTED," I said. Sirius crossed his arms.
"What do you think's up?" he asked. I squinted my eyes a bit before answering.
"There is plainly an unspoken attraction that needs to come out of the closet. I see it, Kelsey sees it." I nodded my head over to Kelsey. "I personally see SO much potential between them, that they would be PERFECT together."
Sirius nodded and grinned.
"I see it. So what do we do?" he said. Kelsey spoke up this time.
"We have to get them together. It'll be tough, but uh." she looked at me. "I see them together and that's where they belong." Sirius nodded.
"I'm game. Where do we start?"

"I'm game. Where do we start?"
