Six Characters in Search of a Story

"Ah welcome back, Dumbledore couldn't make it so he sent me, Professor Slughorn to introduce this incredible chapter of Six Characters in Search of a Story. Oh and by the way would you be interested in joining the slug club…"

"Horace get a move on!"

"Sorry Minerva. Anyway, enjoy this chapter!"

Part One

They were outside the transfiguration classroom.

"Is Filch coming?" asked James.

"I don't think so," replied Sirius. They entered the room. James crossed to the far wall.

"There should be a secret room around here, help me find the lever," he stated. The group searched the wall for a minute before James found the lever. He pulled it and with a loud creaking sound a hidden door speared in the wall.

"We haven't been here before have we?" asked Remus.

"I remember one in the charms classroom but this one is new to me," added Sirius.

"Good point, we'll have to add it to the map," replied James. He threw open the door and they entered.

Part Two

"A broom cupboard!" exclaimed Sirius, "This isn't what I was expecting."

"Me neither," added Peter, "I mean, why hide a broom closet!"

"Does it matter what we've found?" asked James, "we should still add it to the map." Sirius pulled out the map. He pulled out his wand and tapped the map.

"Mr Padfoot would like to request an alteration."

"As would Mr Prongs."

"Mr Wormtail."
"And Mr Moony." They all placed their wand on the map. It zoomed into the section showing where their current location should be located. The room drew itself onto the map.

"Mischief managed," muttered Sirius, causing the map to go blank again.

"This secret room could be very useful," mused Remus.

Part Three

"Honestly Remus you think that everything could be useful," chuckled Peter.

"Not true," replied Remus, "What about that time when…"
"Can't think of one can you?" laughed James.

"I don't think that everything is useful," retorted Remus, "divination is useless." They all laughed. Remus checked his clockwork watch. "It's very late, we should really get back to bed."

"I agree, there is the chance that Filch is coming." Replied Peter. The group headed for the door but it had already been pushed open.

Part Four

Severous Snape was standing there. He pulled back his head and shouted.

"They're over here Filch! Potter and his cronies are in here!" He then pulled out his wand and sent a full body bind into the room. Before he could do anything else Peter had shouted.

"Expeliamous!" Snape dropped his wand, which was grabbed by Remus.

"What are you doing here Snivelus?" asked Sirius. Snape scowled.

"Filch said he would let me off my detention for being out of bed if I helped to catch you," he explained.

"You smarmy Git!" exclaimed Peter, "I hope he gives you a detention anyway!"
"He'll get a detention if we escape," added Remus.

Part Five

James released Lily from Snape's full body bind. She pushed Snape out of the way and held the door open for the marauders. The five of them sprinted down the corridor but came face to face with Mrs Norris. The cat turned and headed down the corridor but before she could alert Filch, Lily had pulled out her wand.

"Imobilus!" Mrs Norris went completely still as the group hurried past her. Sirius kicked the cat on the way past. Behind them they could hear Snape trying to keep up. Lily pointed her wand behind her and shouted, "Flipendo!" Snape was flipped backwards and was knocked out against a wall.

"Hurry!" shouted James; "he won't be unconscious for long." They ran on, unsure of where they were going and eventually stopped outside the Library.

Part Six

"Do you think Filch knows where we are?" asked Lily.

"How can he?" replied Remus, "we weren't even sure where we were running."

"What if Snape comes back?" asked Peter.

"We can take him," answered Sirius.

"Just in case I think we should split up and get back to out dormitories," added James, "that way if one of us is caught we won't all get into trouble. Lily noticed that James had glanced at her as he said it and realised that he had suggested that to protect her. At that moment Snape turned up again, accompanied by Mrs Norris.

"Ha!" he stated, "Filch will be here any moment!"

"Split up!" yelled James. Him, Sirius, Remus, Peter and Lily ran off in different directions.

Part Seven?

"I bet your waiting for some Filch action!" chuckled Argus Filch.
