Chapter 3 ~ Meet the Hogwarts Sirens and the Marauders
"Is it just me or does the banquet get longer every year?" Said Katie as the girls entered their dormitory.
"It's you. It always ends at the same time." Said Lily as she walked to her bed.
"I don't know how you can eat so much and not gain any weight Katie. I can't even eat half of what you eat with out feeling full." Said Emma.
"I don't know, I think I might me charmed or something because I'm always hungry."
"I can't eat much in the evenings, I never could." Replied Lily.
"I wonder how our schedules will be. I swear, if I get another double Potions and Care of Magical Creatures with the Slytherins I will scream." Said Katie as she finished getting ready for bed.
"You know we will, we've always had Potions with the Slytherins as well as Care of Magical Creatures for the last years; I don't see what is going to change that." Said Emma as she got into bed.
"Well thank you for busting my bubble, now I have nothing else to dream about." Said Katie from her bed.
"Oh don't worry, Sirius might help you get new dreams." Said Lily turning off the lights.
"Lily!" And a pillow hit Lily as she settled into bed. Only giggles could be heard in the room after Lily threw back the pillow to Katie.
"Do you reckon we should use this spell on the Slytherins tomorrow?" Asked Sirius as he sat on his bed.
"We used it in our fourth year remember? We can't use it again, we have a reputation to protect." Said James as he finished getting ready for bed.
"You're right, let's see..."
"Do you have the feeling that we've run out of tricks?" Asked Remus from his bed.
"Don't even say that Moony!" Exclaimed a flabbergasted Sirius.
"Careful, you'll give Padfoot here nightmares." Laughed James.
"Hahaha...the day Sirius here stops thinking of pranks will be the day one of us turns to the Dark Side." Said an amused Peter from his bed.
"Farfetched indeed." Said a chuckling Remus.
"This is no laughing matter! We can't be out of ideas, Oh Lord, what are we going to do?" Said a worried Sirius.
"Calm down Padfoot, just go to bed and sleep on it. You'll se that by tomorrow morning you'll have thought of something." Said James.
"Prongs is right Paddy, just go to bed." Said Remus as he rested his head on his pillow.
"Don't call me Paddy! You know I hate it when you call me like that!" Said Sirius as he settled in bed.
"Yes Paddy." Three voices said in unison as dark swallowed the room.
"Get up, we'll be late!" Said Lily trying to wake Katie up.
"Honestly! You would think that after six years she would be used to waking up early." Said an exasperated Emma.
"Don't just stand there, help me!"
"What do you think I was doing while you were in the bathroom?"
"What should we do? She's not waking up."
"I have an idea." Said Emma as she approached the sleeping Katie.
"Katie, Sirius is here, he wants to talk to you, should I let him in?"
"What? No way, you should've woken me earlier. Oh my God, I'm still not dressed." Screamed Katie as she abruptly woke up and left the bed with an alacrity Emma and Lily didn't know she possessed.
"Well, she is awake now." Said Emma, turning to look at a laughing Lily.
"Katie, calm down, Emma just said that to see if you would wake up."
"That was a nasty trick!" Said an indignant Katie.
"Well, now you are up. Get ready or we'll be late." Said Lily trying to take control of the situation.
"Oh all right, but don't do that again!" Said a pouting Katie as she grabbed her clothes and walked into the restroom.
"Really Emma! That was bad of you." Chided Lily after Katie had left the room.
"I know!" Said a grinning Emma, and both girls burst into laughter.
"Sirius stop pouting. So what if we didn't think of a prank to pull this morning? We'll think of one sooner or later." Said James as he tried to get his friends to move faster out of the room.
"Yeah, don't worry just do as Professor Misticity says 'open your Inner Eye to find what is within you.'" Said Remus as he imitated their Divination teacher, making the rest of the boys laugh at his accuracy.
" Don't worry Sirius, maybe we just need a break to recoup from all that we have done for the last six years. You'll see that we eventually will think of something, and be back the way we were, maybe even better." Soothed Peter as they descended the stairs to the common room.
"Oh, I suppose..." Said a morose Sirius.
"You better perk up Sirius, Katie is coming down." Warned James as he saw the girls coming down the stairs right behind them.
The warning certainly cheered up Sirius and the four boys turned to wait for the girls.
"Good morning ladies, I hope you had an uneventful evening." Said Sirius as he courtly bowed to them. The girls giggled, except Lily who, James noticed, just smiled amusedly.
"Silly Sirius," giggled Katie, "and yes, we had an uneventful evening. Rodent free at least." The boys chuckled and furtively glanced at each other. Lily saw the looks the boys turned to each other and thought I knew they had something to do with the rat incident yesterday, and I bet that they're up to something. Katie's giggles broke through her thoughts and saw Sirius offer his arm, which she took, and waked through the portrait hole and turn to the Great Hall. The rest followed them, eager to start a new school year, even if it was their last. James glanced at each of the girls as they made their way to the Hall. Each girl was different in looks as well as in personality. Lily with her 5'5" height, mossy green eyes and slim body, was smart, witty and took things a bit too seriously, but James thought that her red hair hinted to her passionate nature, somebody eager to embrace life to its fullest. Emma had raven black hair, she was the shortest of the group with 5'4" but her body was proportionate to her height that many called her a pocket Venus. She was also clever, full of common sense, but she also had a great sense of humor and ready to laugh at life's absurdities. Katie was the odd ball of the group, as her friends were dark she was light, blond curly hair, well endowed 5'6" body that drove many to madness. While her friends were serious, she in turn liked to tease and joke, she was vibrant and energetic, someone who liked to live for the moment without thought of what might come. But James knew that despite the differences in their personalities, they shared a bond of friendship that nothing could break. Each was beautiful in their own way and the striking contrast of their appearance had gotten the attention of the male population at Hogwarts. The Hogwarts Sirens was the name given to them by the boys at school, and appropriate name, James thought. It was given to them during their fifth year, when boys suddenly realized that the trio of girls nobody had paid any attention to had blossomed into beautiful young women.
The group had finally arrived at the Great Hall and walked toward the Gryffindor table. The boys were happy to notice the envious looks thrown their way by their male peers, while the girls could feel the envy radiating from the female population.
"Who are they?" Asked an awed first year to his third year neighbor as he saw the group pass by.
"The girls are called the Hogwarts Sirens and the boys are the Marauders, they're all seventh years, Lily Evans, the red head, and James Potter, he's the one with the glasses and messy hair, are this year's Head Boy and Girl." Whispered the third year.
"Well I can see why the girls are called Sirens, but, why are the boys called the Marauders?"
"According to rumor, during their first year they were caught by the caretaker out of their room in the middle of the night, he called them 'a wild lot of marauders that needed to learn a lesson,' and since then everyone has called them the Marauders, and it's easier to remember instead of their names."
"Right!" Said the first year as he turned his attention back to his food.
"Oh isn't he dreamy!" A Hufflepuff fifth year said as she saw the group sit at the Gryffindor table.
"Which one?" Asked her friend sitting beside her.
"James of course, I like his hair, makes me want to be the one to tame it." She was longingly looking at James, who with his messy black hair, deep blue eyes covered with round glasses, athletic body and 6'1" tall didn't pay much attention to the flirtatious looks were throwing his way.
"You're fanciful today. He's fine I guess."
"Fine? He's gorgeous, and did you see him play Quidditch last year? I think he's the best above all of them. There simply isn't a chaser in any of the teams that can compete with him."
"I don't know I think Sirius is very good, in fact I think he's better than James, in looks and in athletic abilities." Sirius was similar to James in looks, wild black hair, dark gray eyes, a couple of inches taller than his friend made him the tallest of the group.
"He is not, you take that back!"
"I will not, it is the true and I don't lie."
"You better take it back or I'll make you!"
"You and what army?"
Unaware of the commotion they had caused, the Sirens and the Marauders just noticed an altercation taking place at the Hufflepuff table, Lily was getting set to get involved when they saw a prefect taking care of the matter and silence being restored.
"Can anyone pass me the toast please?" Asked Lily as the rest of the group started to pile food on their plates.
"Here." Remus handed her the plate of toast before he reached the plate of bacon. Remus was very different in looks compared to his dark haired friends. He had dark blond hair, same height as James, but it was his eyes that grabbed the attention of the girls, they were a clear gray which tended to change color in the light and according to his mood. Peter, sitting beside him at the table, was the shortest of the group with 5'6" tall, thin blond hair, watery blue eyes, and unlike his friends, whose bodies were on the athletic side, his was rather on the portly side. But despite all their differences, they were very good friends and liked to have fun with each other.
"Miss Evans, Mr. Potter, I will need you to meet with me tonight after dinner to discuss your duties. Please don't be late." Said Professor McGonagall as she passed by distributing the schedules.
"Don't worry Professor, I'll be there." Said Lily and then turned to look at James waiting for his response.
"Right, me too." He said after he quickly swallowed. Professor McGonagall seemed please by their answer and resumed down the table handing out the rest of the schedules.
