Chapter seven: A very bubbly bath time

Sirius, James, Lily, Kat, Sienna, Peter, Natasha, and Remus were really getting along well, they had become really good friends and were rarely found without each other. Of coarse Lily and her friends got a lot of hateful stares, because they were hanging out with the marauders who were some of the most wanted boys in school.

Homework was building up and the poor six years had to use all of their free periods just so they could be caught up on homework. Lily and Remus both had patrols, being prefects. James, Sirius, Kat, and Sienna all had Quidditch practices, which seemed to take over most of their spare time. The school year was flying by so fast, that before they knew it, it was October.

Natasha was an early riser. She got up and went to take a shower humming to herself as the warm water splashed over her body. She did her makeup and magically curled her hair, and then went to wake the others up. Groggily they all practically fell out of bed and either just got dressed or went to take a shower.

Once everyone was ready they all headed down to breakfast. As they entered the great hall the aroma of bacon and pancakes woke them up a little bit and they hastened to eat. Moments later they were joined by the marauders who were strutting like they ruled the world. Lily suppressed a giggle, and tried to stuff food into her mouth so she couldn't utter a sound.

They sat down around the girls, James next to Lily, Remus next to Natasha, Sirius between Kat and Sienna, Sienna glared at him and he gave her a smile that could only say you know you love me, and Peter sat next to Remus. Remus was looking paler and sicker then normal, because that night was the full moon.

"Remus are you doing all right, you don't look so well?" asked Lily with deep concern "I'm fine I promise I just have a bad cold that's all." Remus replied, trying to sound normal. He glanced at Natasha and gave her a nervous smile, she beamed back. The marauders glanced around and gave each other knowing looks.

The girls throughout the day noticed weird signs of nervousness. Sirius fell asleep in history of magic, and woke up yelling "don't let them attack, with their cheesy goodness, don't let the pizza's in!" and he was shaking violently. James started daydreaming with an expression of being very uncomfortable all across his face. Peter's voice was squeakier then normal, and had reached the high pitched sounds of a little boy.

"James do you want to do something tonight, you seem kind of out of it today?" Lily asked. "There is something I have to do tonight Lily, I wish I didn't have to but it is to help a friend." James replied. Lily frowned because she knew James was hiding something, but soon shrugged it off and figured that he would tell her when the time was right.

During dinner the marauders tried to keep as cool as possible, and trying to make normal conversation. "Horrible weather tonight eh?" and what not. At about eight Remus got up.

"Remus where are you going?" Natasha asked. "My throat is hurting more then it was earlier, I should go see Madame Pomefry." "We could come with you if you want" "I'll be fine, I just need a good nights rest and some medicine." And with that he was off, and out of the portrait hole.

About twenty minutes later Sirius, James, and Peter all complained of being starving and also left. They went down onto the grounds quickly and raced towards the Whomping Willow, turned the knob to make it stop moving, and went into the secret passageway.

They got there just in the nick of time. Remus was panting hard, and his eyes started to turn bloodshot. His body started to change form and he gave a scream of pain. He fell over, his body writhing on the floor, in pain. Just as suddenly as it started it stopped, and there stood on two hind legs, with a long silvery furry body, and bloodshot yellow eyes was Remus in his werewolf form. The others quickly changed into animaegus's, James was a stag which Sirius made fun of him for because he thought that it was girly, Sirius was a big furry black dog, and Peter a dirty little rat.

Remus started to growl and leapt at James. They started to attack each other, Remus biting and scratching at James, while James pawed at Remus with his hooves.

Sirius leapt over James and hit Remus hard off him. They started doing the same thing. It was a bloody night, James and Sirius had huge bruises as well as scratches, from being thrown around, bitten, and scratched with the things so deadly that if they had been in human form there was no chance that they could have survived, while Peter seemed to remain untouched.

Remus suddenly escaped their protection, and darted through the secret passageway. Sirius whom had momentarily changed back to being human quickly transformed back into a black shaggy dog.

Remus got past the Whomping Willow and started to head out onto the grounds. James had picked Peter up on his antlers, so that they wouldn't be slowed down at all by the little rat.

Sirius and James chased him all over- by Hagrid's cabin, towards the Forbidden Forest, back towards the Whomping Willow and near the castle.

They finally pinned him down, and very slowly with much force got him back into the shrieking shack.

Meanwhile Lily was up in Gryffindor Tower doing her homework. She looked out the window into the chilly night. The grounds looked completely gloomy and her eyes lingered on the Whomping Willow. It had been but up in their first year at Hogwarts and she was never quite sure why they would want such a vicious plant around attacking children, all the same she had grown accustomed to it being there, and it would be strange to have a vacant space where it stood.

She glanced at her watch, it read 11:45. She finished up her homework and as she hadn't had a bath that morning decided to use the prefects bathroom to take one, so as not to wake people up.

She slipped up to her bedroom and put on her bathrobe and slippers. Then as quietly as she could, she tiptoed out of Gryffindor Tower.

Lily walked quite a ways until she found herself in front of the statue of the one eyed witch. She whispered the password "menthol" and the witch got up and stepped aside, the wall opened and there stood the prefects bathroom.

She sighed with glee then said aloud "How I've missed this place." And then she smiled, it was so comfy and cozy. There were plushy towels piled up in abundance, and there was a beautiful portrait of a mermaid, who was quietly snoring in her frame.

She slipped off her bathrobe and her pjs and went over to the spouts. There were different jewels incrusted in them to show what pleasantness they held. Lily turned her favorite ones, the emerald from which tons of tiny minty smelling bubbles erupted, and then the opal from which large bubbles that smelled of jasmine came out of. And her last final one was the ruby, from which a light pink colored fume floated that smelled of a lavender field. Lily loved good smelling things.

She slid into the large swimming pool sized tub, and found the temperature to be just right. She swam around a bit then decided just to relax a bit more, she sunk down into a little seat that was in the water then started singing to herself.

Lily had a beautiful voice, when she had been younger she had been in her church choir, and then in musicals when she was older, at that time of coarse she was only as good as any other young girl in primary school years. One of her favorite musicals had been Phantom of the Opera, which she had not been in, but had gone to see with her parents and Petunia to celebrate her going to Hogwarts. Of coarse Petunia wasn't too excited about her sister leaving, because she was loosing her best friend, and she was also scared of magic.

She sung "Angel of Music" but was suddenly interrupted. She heard a voice saying something like a password then the wall started to open. Lily screamed and sunk lower into the tub, luckily for her because of the bubbles you couldn't see anything.

A male voice called out "Who's there?" she knew that voice, it was extremely familiar. Then with a pang of horror she realized where she knew that voice. It was the voice of Lucius Malfoy.

He slowly walked into view. His sleek white blonde hair slightly rumpled, as though he had had problems sleeping. He had a forest green bathrobe on, and bunny slippers. She tried to stifle a giggle at the bunny slippers, but failed miserably so she sunk lower into the water.

"Oh it you is it. You filthy little mudblood. What are you laughing at girl?" He asked in a sneering voice. "You like my slippers do you? You will never talk of it again, you hear me? They were a present from my mother, and the thing is if I don't wear them they have a step counting device so she will know and I will be punished."

"Don't you dare talk to me like that. I am no filth, and if anyone is filthy it's you!" Malfoy looked around to as if to see whom she was talking about but then realized it was him. "At least I don't care what type of blood someone has. Look what good it does you anyway, what are you going to be when you grow up? A death eater?" She said with a smirk.

Even though she was totally naked she did not care because the bubbles and perfume were covering her up. Normally she would have been shy but something about hanging around with the marauders made her decide that he finally deserved to have a talking to.

He gave her a mighty glare and she glared back with her death glare. He stomped off, but failed to see the bathmat that he had messed up when coming in. He tripped then flew about four feet into the wall.

Everything went dark for him and the last thing that he heard was Lily's laughter, she hadn't thought he was seriously hurt until he collapsed in a heap next to the wall. She quickly pulled herself out of the tub and toweled herself dry. Then she as fast as she possibly could go pulled on her clothes and her bathrobe.

Next she tried with all her might to pull Lucius out of the bathroom. Lily noticed that he had a deep cut in his eyebrow from the fall. After much heaving and hoeing she finally got him out into the corridor.

Then she ran with all her might towards Gryffindor Tower. Leaving Malfoy just laying there, for he was out cold.

Little did she know that the Marauders were on their way back up to the castle just then. They walked up towards the castle as quietly as they could, when they came upon poor little Lucius.
