Marauder Girls

Chapter 1: The Girls

Thanks to Ciara, also known as Suicidal Bubbles, my beta and friend throughout the story.

Please read and review her fics particularly the Shylock series as these are the best fics for Angst/Romance and I know ;).

Emmalena stood and looked in the mirror at herself, excitement bubbling up inside her at the thought that it was the 3rd day before the girls would go to the Yule ball. She had a midnight blue dress that perfectly matched her eyes and her long blonde hair hung loosely with neat little curls. She twirled her hair around a finger and smiled. This was going to be so amazing!

Paige, Em's identical twin and best friend, nodded her approval at her sister, and modelled her green dress slightly with a flick of her wand.
"Do you think I look to fat in this?" she asked thoughtfully.
Before Emmalena could answer Nianth cut in with a burp, from what could be considered her sixth bottle of the dreaded Fanta, before actually saying something. "Yeah you look cool, but what should I wear for Sirius?" she practically swooned as she said his name and stared out the window longingly. Emmalena just rolled her eyes at her friend.
"Hmmm" said Lily who was adding the rose petals to Rose's pink dress.

"He likes black, so why not wear that black dress he bought you." Lily continued, then prodded Rose with her wand. "stop moving."
But Nianth was no longer listening and she dropped the bottle and continued to sigh contentedly. Lily raised an eyebrow at her. Sometimes Nianth was disgusting in Lily's view.
"Nia, Nia" said Lily, tapping Nianth's shoulder
"Oh give it up Lily" said Martina looking up from the dress magazine she was reading with Anna. "She'll be like that for a while. She always' with. The whomping Willow could beat her up and she wouldn't notice."
Anna picked up her wand and flicked it at the Fanta spill. Immediately, the carpet of the girl's dorm was dry and clean.

"Rose?"
"I can't, Lily's changing my dress" replied Rose, even though she didn't know what Anna was going to ask.
"Lily?"
"What Rose said" Lily added quickly
"Em, Pai?"
"Fine, what do you want?" Paige asked, exasperation clearly showing on her face. Anna smiled "Can you come with me to Hogsmeade and help me get a present for my mum?"

Paige nodded, inwardly sighing. She hated having to go down to Hogsmeade sometimes.

"Thanks, I owe you one!" Anna exclaimed, hugging Paige.

"I'll remember that" replied Paige
"Yeah. you can stop the boys coming in" said Emmalena pointing with her
wand to the door.
Anna grinned "Fine I will, but Nai you help me!"
"What?" said Nianth, now out of her daze.
The others giggled and left the room, leaving them to it .

And so began another day.
