Sorry it took me forever in getting this up. MY computer had a virus and I had to re-boot the whole thing losing all my documents and everything. So it took my awhile to set everything up again. Sorry. But to continue to say sorry I have a longish chapter for you!
Chapter 36: ASM and Danny
Enjoy:
"What time is it?"
"The same time it was last time you asked me." An annoyed voice answered.
"That can't be true." Another jumpy voice retorted.
"Will you two just shut up!"
"Jesus, Padfoot what's up your butt?" Remus said casually looking around the Great Hall. Carly and James where bouncing up and down in their seats waiting for Dumbledore to come over and take them to Carly's quidditch game. (AN: A week and a half after the bad stuff happened) Lily was flipping through her charms book not really paying attention to anyone and Remus was reading over her shoulder. James and Carly both glared at Sirius and began to talk about the chaser plays Carly team had. After awhile Dumbledore walked into the room closely followed by Gideon and his brother Fabian. Even though Lily and Carly, who had both fallen hard for the boys they were sitting next too, both blushed when they saw Gideon and Fabian standing next to each other. Sirius and James growled at the two and then turned their attention to Dumbledore who let out a slight couch,
"Is Mr. Pettigrew not coming this time?" Lily and Carly where pulled out of their stupor and shook their heads,
"He said something about writing a letter and ran away." James said as if it meant nothing. Dumbledore nodded and pulled out a long stick.
"Wait what's he doing here?" Sirius said jamming his thumb in Fabians direction. Dumbledore raised an eyebrow and Carly elbowed him,
"Protection." She hissed in his ear and grabbed onto the stick. Sirius grumbled and grabbed hold followed by everyone else. After what felt like forever they landed, Dumbledore being the only one to stay on his feet, Carly shot up and looked at her watch. Puzzled, sense when they left it was 6 o'clock P.M. and now it was 2 o'clock P.M. she opened her mouth,
"Time change." Lily whispered in her ear.
"Oh…" Dumbledore smiled,
"Well, Ms. Mullet I am off to go discuss some issues with your old Headmaster who said it would be alright if you showed everyone around." Carly nodded and headed off towards what looked like a huge manor. American School of Magic was a huge mansion not a castle. It looked exactly like a boarding school and the sign on the gate before the school said, 'Saint James School.' (In which James said, "I didn't know I was a saint." Causing Remus to smack him) Underneath in small print it said, 'For gifted young adults only.' As they passed James, Gideon, Fabian and Sirius laughed,
"Gifted…" Sirius snickered.
"Shut up, its what they say so Muggles don't go inside and bug them." Lily said following Carly up the winding dirt path. At the huge wood doors sat a average size man on a tall stool humming to himself. When Carly bounded up to him he pulled out a large piece of parchment out of the bag by his stool.
"Names?" He asked not even looking at them.
"Caroline Mullet former member of Charlotte house." The man looked up and the ends of his mustache twitched into a smile,
"Well I'll be." He spoke in a deep southern voice drawing out all his words, "Charlotte house has been doin' bad missy. They'll miss you and it shows." He added. Something glinted in Carly's eyes and she gave the man a lopsided grin, "Less has been moppin' around too." He added with a wink and hopped off his stool. Carly heard Sirius whisper, "Moppin?" as the man opened the big door for them. "Well see ya'll at the game in an hour." He said with a final tip of his hat and shutting the door behind them. Carly grinned and shrugged off her cloak and looking around. She tapped her chin then pulled out her wand tapping her cloak and whispering some words in it. The cloak disappeared and Carly turned towards the others clapping her hands together,
"Ready?" She said suddenly very excited. The others nodded and Carly began to lead the way down the hall. The inside was very similar to Hogwarts even though it didn't look like it on the out side. Carly was showing them around the school while Lily chatted on and on about what she read about the school,
"There are 650 acres of land here that holds a quadpot stadium, a quidditch stadium, 10 green houses, and 3 separate houses Charlotte Dominionand Woodrow. The school (which is what we are in now) is separate from the houses and everything else." Fabian was pretending to listen while Gideon and Remus looked into the class room windows,
"Wow there's only 6 people in that class." Carly walked over and looked into the class,
"Well when I was here there where only 220 students here and there is about one teacher for every six kids…" She trailed off wondering down the hall glancing into different class rooms with Sirius and James. After Carly gave them a brief tour of the school they began to wonder the halls looking into different classes again. Sirius and James were snickering about something when Carly joined them, "What?" She asked. Sirius and James pointed into one class room which held about 10 girls and one very frazzled looking teacher. At the head of the class was a large dummy with a pretty blue robe on it. "It's called Robe design." Carly said.
"Look at their skirts." James said hiding his laughs under his smile. All the girls had knee length blue skirts with grey socks that went up to their knees meeting the skirt hem. All of their cloaks were hung over the back of their chairs and their blue button up shirts were buttoned up all the way up to their necks and tied with a tie that rested just above their belly button area.
"Not everyone is a whore." Carly said smacking both of them upside the head.
"Ow!" Sirius yelled. He had hit his head against the glass window when Carly smacked his head. The frazzled looking teacher looked over and gasped falling back wards in her chair. The girls in the class gasped and rushed towards the teacher except one girl who looked at the teacher and then at the window. The girl glared at Sirius, James, and Carly. The teacher stood up and marched over to the door yanking it open,
"Shouldn't you all be in class? And where's you uniform Mullet?" The teacher asked a ruler in her hand glaring at them. The girls crowded around the teacher, trying to get a better look at Sirius and James. The girls all giggled when Sirius let out a hesitant laugh.
"Sorry Mrs. Janer didn't mean to disturb your class."
"No problem at all." A tall brown haired girl muttered from behind the teacher eyeing Sirius. Sirius grinned at her causing Carly to step on his foot.
"Get to class you three before I give you a detention." Janer said looking at Carly in the eye,
"You can't."
"And why cant I?"
"Because I don't go here anymore remember? You where the one that told me it was a good thing I was leaving because I was a disgrace-"
"-at making clothes. I remember so what are you doing back?" Janer said glaring at Carly. Carly shrugged,
"Game." The teacher glared, turned back to her class and shut the door in Carly's face.
"Well she's a nice old bat." Fabian remarked from behind them. Carly laughed and continued down the hall muttering to herself.
"Something on your mind?" Lily asked finally done with her text book tour of the school,
"Yeah I'm trying to remember the 6th year schedule…It was Charms, Trans, lunch, Runes, and HA!" She ran off down the hall and up the steps with everyone following her. Once she ran up a decent amount of steps she stopped and turned to them. Sirius and James where leaning on each other catching their breath while Lily dragged Remus up the final steps. Gideon and Fabian looked at her with mild surprise, "Right so…we are about to enter the best class ever." She turned and stopped when no one followed her, "Which would be History of Magic." She said. Gideon beamed and poked Fabian,
"See I told you!" Fabian grumbled and handed over a galleon to Gideon. Sirius groaned,
"That is not the best class ever."
"For you in Britain no it's not, but in America…well just wait and see." Carly rushed down the corridor and slid passed the door she wanted and ran back wrenching open the door. The others followed with curious expressions. When the door opened the whole class turned to see who would be so stupid as to walk into a lesson. What happened next surprised Carly herself. The class began to whisper things like, "She's back." And "The Dominions are in for it." Then a short black haired girl stood up and began clapping,
"We're saved!" She screamed running at Carly and tackling her to the ground. Carly laughed,
"Wow, Betsy never thought you liked me much." Carly said her voice muffled by the girl who was now helping her up,
"Welcome back Caroline." The teacher said from behind his desk. Carly grinned,
"Not for good Mr. Harosof. Just for the game tonight." The teacher nodded his head and turned towards the class,
"Where's Danny?" Carly asked looking around the room. Mr. Harosof smiled,
"Your cloak disturbed our class a half an hour ago. Meaning that Mr. Koler left about .5 seconds after it appeared in front of him." Carly grinned, "Anyway seeing as no one is going to learn at this point I might as well call the lesson over. See you on Monday." With that he tipped his head at Carly and left the room muttering, "See you at the game." Carly grinned even more. After that Betsy directed them all towards the Charlotte house out on the grounds edging closer and closer to Remus while asking Carly questions,
"So Carly who are your friends?"
"Oh, sorry. This is James, Lily, Sirius, Gideon, Fabian, and Remuswho has a girlfriend. Everyone this is Betsy who is the biggest whore in our year." (AN: You all happy now that Remus is being liked?) Carly said. Betsy glared at Carly and walked into the middle large house looking building whispering some words into the door bell. Once inside they saw that it looked just like Gryffindor common room only with the colors of black and gold. "Welcome to Charlotte house." Carly said looking around. She was soon tackled yet again to the ground this time she was pinned there. A boy had Carly pinned to the floor, "DANNY!" Carly screamed. Danny grinned and helped Carly off the floor. Danny was taller then James with sandy colored hair that flopped into his large blue eyes. His tie was loose and his hair was a mess. Danny took a deep breath and hugged Carly hard.
"Oh, man Ruff you have…grown?" He said in an off voice looking at Carly with approving eyes. Sirius growled and took a step forward only to be held back by James. Danny heard Sirius and turned towards the others, "And who is this beautiful Brit?" He said taking Lily's hand and kissing it. Lily giggled and pulled her hand away. James and Sirius where both now being held back by Remus and Gideon,
"This is Lily."
"Hello Lily."
"This is Gideon, my history professor, and his brother Fabian." Carly said motioning to them,
"Sense when have you been friends with, what did you call them, professors?" Carly smacked him upside the head and continued down the line,
"These are the Marauders." Carly said wondering if Danny remembered her letters. He obviously did because he walked up to Remus and stuck out his hand,
"Remus?" Remus nodded shaking Danny's hand.
"James?" Danny asked sticking out his hand, "Lily's boyfriend." Danny added smiling at James. James looked shocked then shrugged shaking Danny's hand. "And this must be Sirius Black." Danny said looking at Sirius with a slight glare. Sirius glared back,
"Danny Koler?" Sirius said. Carly rolled her eyes,
"Yes." He answered sticking out his hand. Sirius eyed his hand then shook it gripping it a little harder then normal. Danny gripped just as hard.
"Everyone this is Danny Koler aka Less." He bowed mockingly and turned towards Carly,
"Hungry?" He asked her. Carly rolled her eyes,
"What do you think?" She answered. Danny grinned and walked to the door holding it open for them. Once outside they were met with a scrawny brown haired boy,
"Headmaster and Professor Dumbledore wish to speak with a Gideon and Fabian Prewett." He breathed. Gideon and Fabian followed the boy back up to the school waving to the others. Carly and Danny led in the opposite direction towards another large building both chatting happily about their passed months apart. Lily listened intently while James, Sirius, and Remus hung back,
"I don't like him." Sirius muttered glaring at Danny's back.
"You don't like him because he's friends with Carly." Remus said rolling his eyes,
"That's not true I like you two." Sirius shot back kicking the ground with his foot. James grinned,
"Your afraid he was the first one to teach Carly." James whispered,
"What!" Sirius and Remus said at the same time,
"You said so your self when you first kissed Carly that she seemed 'experienced,' your just afraid he kissed her first."
"That's completely stupid Prongs." Sirius said glaring at James. Remus laughed.
Meanwhile
"You British people have the best accents." Danny said after Lily finished saying something about Hogwarts. Lily laughed,
"I rather like yours." Carly heard Remus laughing and turned to see Sirius sulking and sighed.
"Danny?"
"Hmm…" He said looking at her. She grinned,
"Don't watch." She said running back towards the Marauders. Sirius looked up and Carly rolled her eyes, "Your such a wanker."
"What's a wanker?" Carly heard Danny ask Lily. Lily laughed. And turned just in time to see Carly tackled Sirius to the ground and kiss him. Lily laughed and pulled Danny away before he saw anything.
Thanks to everyone that reviewed. I love you all!
