Everyone made their way to the Great Hall and they met by the door. Most of them were freaked out by Clare and Carolyn's constant giggling.
"What have we missed?" Lily asked
This made them giggle even harder
"Oh, just Carolyn finally coming back into reality to see what a total prat a certain marauder is!" Clare said through stifled giggles.
This made Lily and Hannah laugh.
"We'll leave you girls here for a minute." Sirius said slowly backing into the Great Hall.
"Yeah." The other three agreed
They left the girls to calm down.
"It was about time Caz!" Lily laughed, "What did you see in him?"
Carolyn shrugged. They turned to Hannah.
"Did you get much homework done?" They asked
This sent the four of them into a fresh set of giggles.
"And there is no need to ask who practically chewed off Lily's lipstick." Hannah added.
The girls laughed harder.
"Come on." Lily laughed, "We best have some lunch!"
"Yeah." The girls agreed, "Lets."
They walked in and walked between the Slytherin table and the Gryffindor table.
"Hi Paul." Clare said
He ignored her.
"You stood him up didn't ya?" Lily asked
She nodded
The four girls sat down at the Gryffindor table and started talking and eating.
"Why is it?" Sirius asked "That we have to start our lessons today but the rest of the school don't start until next week?"
"N.E.W.T's!"
They groaned
"This is going to be a repeat of our O.W.L.S." Lily muttered "Except this time I ain't going to save Snilvellus's butt!"
"Why did you do that?" They asked
Lily shrugged
"How am I meant to know?" She asked, "I must have been off my head!"
"I at least want to pass things by more than borderline." Hannah said
"I just want to get through this year!" Sirius and Clare said
"Me too." Lily, James and Carolyn added
They looked at Peter and Remus
"What about you guys?" They asked
Peter said nothing and Remus answered
"To at least get through the year."
They all looked at Peter.
"Are you alright Peter?" James asked
He nodded vigorously.
"Why are you so quiet?" Sirius asked
Peter shrugged
No one there knew that by the end of the year that they would hardly know him anymore or that he would distance himself from them. None of them knew that he would assist the most unlikely of people in carrying out a vicious crime. As far as they knew he was a marauder – one of the boys, someone who most of them there (the marauders and Carolyn) considered a friend. They didn't know that he would betray them.
I'm sorry for the wait – I've been so caught up in everything I haven't had time!!
Anyway I hope you like.
