I'm so sorry! I've been at play rehearsals everyday including Saturday!
Okay, this chapter will have the results of their prank, and them passing
notes. Mostly that's it, but conversations after note passing also. If you
don't like it, read anyway. Also I have a poll for when Sirius runs away.
Do you want his parents to ignore or insult him, hit him once of twice,
abuse him somewhat, or abuse him badly. It depends how much angst you all
want in there. It won't be for a while but I've gotta know. I do not own
HP. Finally, chapter 5.
Chapter 5: Caught gazing at miss Lily
The next morning, the sun was just beginning to rise when the four friends awoke. They wanted to get to the great hall early to see the results of their prank. The sky turned pink as the four dressed and quickly made their way to the common room.
It was completely deserted. They quickly walked through the common room and continued on their way to the great hall.
As time wore on, the great hall began filling up. By the time it was full, all the Gryffindor's, Ravenclaw's, and Hufflepuff's were sniggering at the Slytherins in their new Gryffindor supporter badges. Snape it seemed had overslept, for he came running into the hall.
The whole hall burst out laughing, including the Slytherins who could see Snape. He was sporting pink robes with Gryffindor lions on it. On his head was a light purple princess hat with ribbons on the side. His hair was no longer greasy black, but a sickly colored yellow, and he didn't notice anything was wrong.
He looked around at the hall full of students laughing, and Remus muttered a spell quietly. Snape suddenly looked horrified and looked at the four friends laughing hardest of all at the Gryffindor table. He glared and quickly ran out of the hall.
Dumbledore stood up, his eyes twinkling. "I think we have four people to thank for these antics." He looked pointedly at James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter. "Those four will be lucky this time though, and should hope not to get caught again. I advise them not to go maraudering around so obviously next time."
He waved his wand and the Slytherins robes were back to normal. "Now, I must go find Mr. Snape. Excuse me." And with a last glance at James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter, he strode out of the hall.
"Marauder...I like it," James said.
"It was a sort of ring to it," Sirius admitted as he watched everyone go back to their breakfast.
Remus looked up from his porridge. "True."
Peter nodded and went back to buttering his toast.
"Okay. We are officially the Marauders!"
And that is the day the four biggest troublemakers of the school got their name, a name that would be remembered for generations and generations.
_____________
Soon everyone knew who the Marauders were. They became well known for their pranks on the Slytherins. It was amazing how fast time was passing. Remus left twice to visit his sick mom. Soon, it was almost Halloween.
The Marauders were sitting in History of Magic, the most boring class ever. Professor Binns was an elderly ghost, and rambled on in a boring ranting voice. That voice kept all students either asleep, daydreaming, or anything that included not listening. Remus was the one who took notes, as he was the only one that could focus on Professor Binns.
Today though, even Remus wasn't focused. He looked really pale, and there were dark circles under his eyes. He looked ready to collapse, from exhaustion or boredom was unknown. The four Marauders were sitting together, Sirius and James in front of Remus and Peter.
A note was passed to Remus from Sirius, saying, I see your not taking notes.
And thus began the class period of note passing.
Remus: No I am not taking notes. I gave up after the first ten minutes of class.
James: Wow. Remus gave up on taking NOTES!
Remus: Watch it James or I won't let you study them.
Sirius: *Snickers*
Remus: That goes for you too Padfoot.
James: *Snickers*
Sirius glared at the parchment then at James, before noticing James wasn't looking at him, but at a girl in the front row. Sirius recognized her as Lily Evans. He hastily scribbled a note.
Sirius: I have caught you, James Potter, gazing at miss Lily.
James face started to go red and quickly wrote his own note as Remus and Peter snickered.
James: I was not looking at Evans.
Remus: Then what were you looking at, the wall?
James: Yes
Peter: What color is it?
James quickly glanced at the wall, which made the other three chuckle. They stopped quickly though, as Binns had glanced up.
Sirius: I prove my point
James: I never knew that a point existed in your world.
Sirius: Ha ha ha
Remus: Did you know that Goblin whomever began the Goblin revolt in the year whenever?
Sirius: Thank you for pointing that out
James: Yes it was so helpful
Peter: That statement sure gave us a lot of information.
Remus: I try
The other three rolled their eyes and looked up at Professor Binns. After five minutes of listening, they went back to passing notes.
Peter: Why do we always pass notes?
Remus: Because a couple weeks ago *Remus stops to glare at Sirius and James* those two decided to play exploding snap, then wizard chess, then indoor Quidditch! Binns finally noticed when an enlarged apple went flying through him. They were making so much noise he noticed. That actually surprised the teachers and students both.
James and Sirius were grinning.
Sirius: That was a bloody brilliant day!
Remus: In which you got hit in the head with the enlarged apple about 15 times in five minutes.
The three began to laugh as Sirius's face went red. Other curious students glanced at them, but Binns didn't spare them a glance. James stopped laughing and caught sight of Lily Evans.
He smiled at her hopefully. She had a disapproving look on her face but let a small smile appear for five seconds before going back to he notes.
Sirius looked at James, who was once again staring at Lily. He rolled his eyes. His friend was so dense he doubted hitting him in the head with a huge piece of cheese would get his attention.
"James," Sirius muttered. "Lily dropped her quill."
James suddenly looked alert, having been looking at the back of her head. He glared at Sirius, but before anything could be said the bell rang.
"As I proclaimed earlier, you were gazing at miss Lily Evans!" Sirius said triumphantly.
Remus looked at him with teasing eyes. "You like her don't you?" Peter grinned.
James face turned the red shade of a tomato. He muttered something inaudible.
"What was that?" Sirius asked.
"SowhatifIlikeEvans."
"What?" Peter asked.
"So what if I like Evans! So I like Lily! I said it! Happy now?" James said this very loudly, almost a shout. Luckily no one had been paying attention. Only...one red haired girl around the corner.

A/N: Well there's another chapter. Glad to have finally updated. In case you didn't guess, the red haired girl was Lily.
I'll probably be unable to update anything until May...actually not until a little while later. I'll update again in a couple weeks, but first I must work on some of my other fics. So much going on with the play and that...actually musical.
Review responses:
Padfootlet: Lol. Okay, let me know when you want them! Here's the update!
Mojo-sbluver: Thank you very much!
CJ*-Cj: Did I get it right this time? Good, lol. Here's the update.
LuluIsALobster: *Begins to talk in mysterious voice* What kind of history? *Coughs and speaks normally* And thanks.
ShrugDuckie: Oh you wouldn't? *Looks up sheepishly* Um...okay! Good! That's the only reason though? Thanks a lot! ^_^ Thanks, I liked it too. Lol. Latin *Shudders* I refuse to take it. EVER! I'll take Spanish or something.
Aihjah: Thank you very much for all the wonderful comments. I hope you continue to read and review my story!
Bella Noche: Okay, first off, I've read that story...actually in the process of reading it. Second off, of course it's been done! The meeting of the Marauders and them developing their friendships has been done very often! You can't compare my story to Forever Alive and say it's been done before, because MWPP stories are done constantly. I'm focusing more on James and Sirius's friendship, but on the other marauders too. My story is different from others.

Chapter 6: Beautiful moonlight, yet evil
He couldn't believe his eyes. In front of him was the same creature, the same creature he had seen in his Defense Against The Dark Arts book when he was skimming it. The long shaggy fur, the deep white fangs. He was rooted to the spot with fear.
Why had they followed that passageway? He should have known something bad would be happening if his friend hadn't told him about it. This was bad. This was terrible.
The two boys stood in the monsters wake, it licking its lips (or fangs, whichever you prefer) as it smelt the blood.
'Blood, I can smell it! I need it! I must taste it!' the monster thought, staring at the pale boys faces. 'I will get blood tonight.'
(Think I should raise the rating to PG-13?)
