Hey guys! Thank you so much for the reviews, you have no idea how much they boost my confidence. I think I'm going to delete my second story though, I don't see it going anywhere even though it's all written; it just needs to be uploaded. Oh, well, on with the story! Enjoy! ∞ Me ∞
Chapter 4- Meet the Marauders
Dumbledore announced them to the Great Hall at dinner upon their arrival and instructed them to sit at the table of their house.
The Gryffindors cheered loudly and Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff clapped politely. The Slytherins sneered- all but two that is- and they made mental notes to talk to the mysterious girls about their suspicious arrival.
"Oh, damn…" Samantha breathed as four boys simultaneously rose and strutted over to them. Lily placed a hand on Samantha's arm. "Calm down… time to bring out the alternate personalities, eh?"
Sam laughed and suddenly her alternate personality came out; her hair and robes rustled lightly in an unseen breeze and her skin and eyes sparkled charmingly.
Lily raised an eyebrow and slowly allowed the change to take effect, only her changes were much more subtle than her friends'.
"Hello there my fine young ladies!" purred a raven-haired boy. He ran a hand through his messy hair- effectively messing it up more- and kissed each girls hand in turn.
"I do hope to show you around our humble abode. I–" He was cut off as a handsome boy with an aristocratic face and edgily layered, long black hair pushed him to the side and continued.
"We, will show you around lovely lady flowers. I daresay Messr. Potter isn't much company." He added with a wink in Sam's direction.
Lily looked to Sam and saw that she hadn't even blushed. She inwardly cheered. If Sam could fight off the infamous Sirius Black Charm, then she could fight off the unfairly attractive charm of James Potter.
Another boy with shaggy, sandy brown hair and yellow/green eyes came forward and smiled warmly, extending his hand.
"Hi, I'm Remus Lupin. This is Peter Pettigrew," He gestured to a chubby little boy who looked absolutely endearing- though both girls bristled inwardly- as he waggled his fingers in greeting. "…and these two dunderheads-"
He was then 'silencio-ed' as James and Sirius pulled him roughly to the back of the group. "-are James Potter and Sirius Black at your service." Sirius said smoothly, bowing low.
"I give you, Messrs. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs." And with a sweeping bow to rival Sirius', James finished, "We are the esteemed Marauders."
A/N: Ok, um I really am nervous about doing the Marauders' characters because they are some serious enigmas. Am I right? If you have any advice on how to do their characters please let me know. Well, I don't know when I'll be able to update again, cuz I start Driver's Ed. on Tues. and Mon. I have a party. So, if I don't force some time in, then I guess you'll hear from me on Wed. Later! ∞ Me ∞
