It's just you're Subconscious
-Author's Note- It's a small chapter, I suppose a filler to move the plot along, it will move along a lot more next chapter! Enjoy! Thanks for all the reviews.
Chapter Fourteen: The Crystal Ball and The Map
Have you ever wondered what the boy's dorm room looks like? Is it clean? Is it messy? Does it look like an obsessive compulsive person lives there? Or perhaps it's unexplainable? Well, dear reader, I can tell you what it looks like. It doesn't look clean, it doesn't look messy; it isn't anywhere near looking obsessive compulsive and unexplainable, it is one simple word that I think any man can relate to: It was a Pig Sty. Yet it was divided down in a sort of way, as you could tell who slept in what bed by the way the one division looked.
On one side of the room there was Remus, who had it neat, clean, and in order, but he also had his own style, that made it looked comfortable, with things from home, and decorations about, but it was clean enough to satisfy a mother. He had a collection of Chocolate Frog Cards stacked on the nightstand. His bed was fairly looking good save for a bunch of bubbles in it where it wasn't smoothed out. He had clothes hanging off his bed.
Near that side was Peter's side, candy wrappers were everywhere, clothes were on the floor and hanging off the nightstand and it smelt like rotten eggs for some weird reason. He had pictures of random art pasted across the stone wall and his nightstand had old pumpkin juice with mold floating in it. The Pumpkin Juice had clearly come alive, and formed a life of its own.
On the other side, there was James; he had Quidditch posters, pictures of Lily (in which he stalked her to get), pictures of his mother, pictures of Sirius, Remus and Peter, and pictures of himself posted on the stone walls. He had Quidditch supplies everywhere, he had Quidditch Socks, and shirts; his nightstand harbored his polished broom, along with a broom cleaning kit. His bed was neat as he slept as if he didn't move one inch during the night.
Sirius' was funky looking; he had pieces of paper of stick people, mostly Snape being given a wedgie, or being pranked in some way (one in which he drew for Sienna), he had a book on his nightstand; it was a log of every prank he had ever pulled. He had no family pictures save for a pink haired little girl, with the name, "Nymphadora Tonks" written on the frame, he had a stack of pictures with him and Ana; and a bunch of money lying out. His bed was a complete mess, and the sheets were torn off so he was lying on a sheet-less mattress, all he was wearing was boxers and the blanket had fallen onto the floor.
All their books were in one pile in front of each of their trunks, as if carelessly thrown down the only one that had their books nicely stacked in front was Remus. They were currently snoring, and probably sounded like a 747 trying to come in for a landing.
James snorted a little waking himself up, he looked around but only saw a blur he felt around on his nightstand for his glasses, he touched them but as he did, he accidentally threw them off onto the floor. He groaned and then groped around on the floor, finally grabbing them, once he put them on it all became clear. He rolled out of bed onto the floor and stood up yawning, he walked forward and stepped on Sirius' blanket, which was on top of a text-book, the blanket went flying, and James fell onto his back with a thud. He groaned and heard, "Heh, watch where you're going Prongs." Sirius sniggered.
James looked up and glared, "Oh sod off." He mumbled, James was not a morning person, he yawned and stood up rubbing his butt, "Watch where you toss you're blanket Padfoot." He growled, and then proceeded to the bathroom.
After a quick shower he came out and Sirius darted in, then it was Remus and then Peter, by the time they were all done, Sirius was looking starry eyed. He had been digging in his trunk and pulled out a little black book. He kissed it, "Ah, good times…" He mumbled to himself, he turned to Peter.
"Since you're the only one in the group that isn't dating," Sirius said, and almost sniggered but kept it to himself. "I present thee my Chickionary." He said, wiping away a tear, he sniffed, "May it bring you as many girls as it did me." He sighed dramatically.
Peter's face brightened up and then they heard, "HEY YOU PROMISED ME THE CHICKIONARY!" It was James, dressed and looking quite upset.
Sirius shook his head, "You got Evans, Prongs," He began, making James smile dreamily, "Besides, I gotta plan." He grinned rubbing his hands together.
James raised an eyebrow as he plucked the little black book out of Sirius' hands and threw it at Peter who barely caught it, "Ooh is it prank?" James asked excitedly as if it was Christmas morning, he pushed Peter aside and sat down on the floor next to Sirius. Peter fell to the floor with an, "Oomph!"
Sirius shook his head, "No, see, you know how we can't get into the girls dorm rooms?" He said as Remus came over slightly interested, slightly afraid at what his best friend was cooking up.
"Yeah," Remus said, "The stairs are spelled." He informed them, sitting down on his bed amused.
"Yeah, well, I say we transform ourselves into our Animagus forms, and sneak in to see our ladies." Sirius said proudly.
Remus sighed, "First off, how would I? I have no Animagus form…" Remus began but was cut off by Sirius.
"You can ride Prongs…" Sirius replied and then said at the look James gave him, "Get you're head out of the gutter mate!" Sirius said disgustedly.
Remus shook his head, "Secondly, I believe Ana and Lily would flog you two." He said smirking.
James smiled, "Ooh, sounds kinky." He said ruffling his hair and then laughing, as Sirius joined him.
"Yeah, I bet Ana would do it best." Sirius replied starry eyed, sighing deeply.
Remus shook his head, "Do you even know what flogging means?" He asked looking at his two friends who blinked at him.
"Does it have anything to do with snogging?" James asked innocently or as innocent as James Potter can get.
Remus sighed, "It means to be whipped with rawhide that's been dipped in tar." He said suddenly feeling quite intelligent.
"I knew it was kinky." Sirius said excitedly.
Remus looked up at the ceiling, "I'm surrounded by idiots." He replied, as he walked over to his nightstand and pulled out some stash of chocolate.
"You don't mean that, do ya Moony?" James asked pouting at Remus, as Sirius sniggered again, almost like a mad scientist laugh.
Remus swallowed the chocolate and then said, "I repeat, I'm surrounded by idiots." He sighed.
Sirius shrugged, "Anyway, I say we try it!" He stood up and rubbed his hands together, with a crazed look in his eyes.
James was just as enthusiastic, "Oh yeah, it'd be perfect, and I say we take my invisibility cloak and the map just to make sure, no one is around in the Common Room." He replied.
Sirius grinned, "Perfect, you in Moony?" He asked both James and Sirius looked over at Remus who blinked at them.
"You've got to be kidding me?" He asked, looking between the two who both had the same crazed look.
"Aw come on, are you telling me, you're not curious on what type of sexy pajama's Sienna wears? Maybe there a sexy silky kind, or see through lace." James said wiggling his eyebrows.
Remus' face turned bright red, "Is all you think about is sex?" Remus asked somewhat annoyed at the two.
Sirius smirked, "Remus! We're men, what do you expect, can you sit there and tell me you've never thought about at least snogging Sienna?" He asked.
Remus had no answer, he only glared at his two friends, who smirked knowingly in returned, "So you in or not?" Sirius asked as James dug out the map and the cloak.
Remus grumbled, "I suppose, I'll probably have to end up saving you from their wrath." He sighed dramatically.
Sienna was snuggled into her bed, she was warm, comfortable, content, and she felt like someone was watching her subconsciously. She stirred a little, but for some reason she had trouble opening her eyes, she was content to just stay asleep as it was Sunday, and it would be a whole week before she could sleep in again.
However, she forced herself to open her eyes and what she saw made her yelp and fall off the bed, it was James, standing over her smiling, Sirius smiling as well and Remus looking a little afraid. "Ow." She muttered, getting into a kneeling position.
She rubbed her eyes not sure she had seen what she thought, but when her sight became clearer, it was real; James, Sirius and Remus were really in the girls dorm room. "Sienna what are you screaming about?" Lily's voice came, followed by a deep yawn, her curtains still covering her bed.
James' smiled grew wider and Sienna said, "When Ana and Lily wake up you all are dead." She said smirking, "How'd you get in here anyway? I thought the stairs were spelled?" She asked perplexed.
"We turned into our Animagus forms." James replied.
"Remus doesn't have one." Sienna pointed out.
"He rode James." Sirius replied.
Sienna blinked at him, looking thoroughly disgusted, "Oh, come off it, get you're mind out of the gutter!" Sirius said smacking Sienna along side the head.
She whined and rubbed her head, "That wasn't nice," She then burst into tears, Sirius looked panicked and tried to consol her but being a man, he had no clue what he was doing.
Her cries were getting louder, finally Ana had had enough, she whipped open the curtain and to her surprise she saw Sienna crying, Remus trying to consol her, Sirius looking guilty and trying to get her to quiet down, and James laughing his ass off.
"What. The. Hell." Ana said, she flung off her covers, and threw herself out of bed glaring at the Marauders.
Ana latched onto Sienna's arms and Sienna said, "SIRIUS HIT ME!" She whined.
Ana glared at Sirius and pulled Sienna into her arms, "DID YOU HIT HER!" Ana screeched at the top of her lungs, making Lily fall out of her bed with surprise.
Sienna smirked behind Ana's head, it was payback for scaring her out of her wits when she was completely comfortable in bed, "Well, well, she was being perverted!" Sirius said in his defense.
"What do you mean?" Ana asked narrowing her eyes.
"I told her Remus rode James." Sirius said seriously, earning a disgusted look from Ana, who was still holding Sienna.
"REMUS YOU CHEATED ON SIENNA!" Lily yelled, "AND YOU CHEATED ON ME JAMES!" She screamed standing up.
"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!" Sirius said, stopping all noise, "To get into the dorm room we had to change into our Animagus forms, Remus has none, so when James transformed he sat on James' back; as James is a stag or whatever." Sirius explained in an annoyed manner.
"May I mention Moony that you need to lighten up on the Chocolate Frogs." James said out of nowhere.
Ana sighed, "Sienna stop being a baby, I hit you all the time," Ana said looking down at Sienna who pouted.
"Well, it was payback, I wake up and all three of their faces are in my face!" Sienna said glaring at the three.
Lily nodded, "That would be a scary sight." She replied, all three girls burst into fits of laughter.
"Hey!" Remus said, "We aren't THAT bad looking." He said in their defense.
"May I interject, that we are the best looking guys in all of Hogwarts." James said looking at Lily, she only rolled her eyes.
"Yeah!" Sirius agreed, "Girls can't resist our sexy charms…" He paused and then ran a finger through his hair trying to act sexy.
"Well," Sienna began, "I can resist all of you." She said crossing her arms.
"Ditto." Ana replied crossing hers as well.
"So can I, I resisted James longer then you and Sienna resisted Sirius and Remus." Lily pointed out.
Ana and Sienna turned to Lily and glared, "Heh, of course I never said that's a bad thing." She said trying to pass it over.
"Wait, why are you in our dorm room anyway?" Lily asked, looking at all three of the guys with mild interest.
"It was Sirius' idea," James began, "He wanted to see Ana, I wanted to see Lily, and Remus wanted to see if Sienna wore see through lace PJ's." James said smirking.
Remus blushed, "I did not." He replied looking down.
Sirius looked over at Sienna's PJ's which consisted of short blue shorts, and a white T-shirt, "Of course this isn't bad either, I'm sure Remus thinks you look sexy in that." Sirius joked.
Sienna turned bright red and Ana laughed, "Nice." She muttered and patted Sienna on the back as she laughed.
Lily sighed, "All three of you out, we need to get dressed."
James blinked, "So, why does this mean we have to leave?" He asked stupidly.
She glared at all three, and they ran out of the dorm room, faster then the speed of light. "Idiots." Ana smirked as she claimed the bathroom first.
An hour and a half later, all three girls were showered, and dressed. Sienna came out of the bathroom, Lily and Ana were still in there putting Makeup on. She looked down on the floor near her bed and found an old tattered Parchment.
She picked it up, and saw it had images on it, and then realized it was a map, but it showed where everyone was on it, it showed that in the Gryffindor Common Room Sirius, Remus and James were there pacing back and fourth.
A smirk went across her face she looked at the front and it said, "Messer's Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs Purveyors of Aids to Magical Mischief-Makers are proud to present THE MARAUDER'S MAP." "Hmmm…" She said to herself looking at all the different rooms.
Dumbledore was in his study pacing, Filch was in some room with Madam Pince, Sienna crinkled her nose at this, it showed every inch of the Hogwarts Castle in great detail, by this time Ana and Lily had come out.
"Why are you staring at Parchment?" Lily asked looking at her with raised eyebrows.
Sienna smirked and thrust the map at Ana and Lily, they both looked at her oddly and then down at the map, it took a few moments, Lily read it out loud and then laughed, "Purveyors of aids to Magical Mischief-makers?" She snorted.
"This is really advanced magic though," Ana said in awe, "This is in great detail, and it shows everywhere, and what their doing!" She said looking it over.
Sienna shrugged, "I always wondered why they never got caught, and Remus probably did the map." Sienna replied.
Lily looked up, "Hey, James is intelligent." She defended making Sienna and Ana snort with amusement.
"Well, Sirius isn't that bright either." Lily retaliated at Ana.
Sienna sniggered, "She's got you there Ana." She laughed.
"Hey, Remus can be daft!" Ana glared.
"He isn't daft!" Sienna said crossing her arms glaring back at Ana just as hard, Lily was equally pissed.
"He had no clue you fancied him, he's blind when it comes to stuff like that." Lily replied smirking.
"HE'S JUST SHY! What about James? He was sure stupid to keep chasing you." Sienna retorted with a cocky grin.
"He's wasn't stupid, just passionate." Lily defended, which sounded really odd coming from her.
Ana laughed, "Really, that sounded odd, Lily Evans defending James Potter." Ana laughed, Sienna and Lily looked at each other and broke out into grins as well.
"It does sound odd…" Lily trailed off blushing a little.
"Yep, I mean it was coming from someone who called him a bullying toe-rag one year." Sienna said laughing.
"Yeah, that was funny…" Ana said dreamily, "I think he tried confessing his undying love for you." Ana replied.
It was quiet for a while and then Sienna screamed out, "WE SHOULD BE LIKE THE FEMALE VERSION OF THE MARAUDERS!" She said as if this was the greatest idea ever.
Ana raised an eyebrow, "What are we gonna call ourselves? Marada-Girls?" She said sarcastically.
Sienna rolled her eyes, "Nah, more like the Prowlers or something." She said with this crazed look in her eyes.
Lily sniggered, "Sounds interesting, but I'm Head Girl, and it wouldn't be responsible." She pointed out.
Ana shrugged, "No, I think we should just hold the map hostage, and use it for our own purposes." Ana said.
Sienna nodded, "Yeah, but I still think Prowlers would have been cool, we would have outdone the Marauders." Sienna said sighing.
Lily shrugged, "Let's keep it for a while." She said as Ana stuffed the map into her robes, to keep it hidden.
"Let's go eat Breakfast." Ana said happily and about that time, her stomach growled, Sienna smirked a little.
"Be right there, gonna get mynecklace out of my trunk." She said, Lily and Ana nodded and then left, Sienna opened up the trunk and started to dig through it. As she did she found her Crystal Ball she had gotten at some random store at Diagon Alley.
She held the misty ball in her hands, she bounced it up a little and caught it, the mist entrancing her, as she did, she felt herself being pulled towards it, the odd feeling was scaring her, the feeling was unpleasant and she felt like she was going to throw up. As she stared the mist started to swirl faster and an image was appearing. She saw herself and Ana at a grave, they were weeping.
She saw two headstones that read.
James Potter
1960-1981
Lily Evans Potter
1960-1981
Sienna gasped, but no matter how she tried to pull herself away, or avert her eyes, she couldn't, the graveyard grew dark, the wind started to blow around. She and Ana turned around and they both had a look of fear on their tear stained faces. Sienna again heard the hissing sound that sent chills up her spine.
"Die." A cold, hissing voice said, a wand was pointed at Ana, Ana lifted her wand to mutter a curse, but the evil person was too fast, and he yelled out the killing curse. Ana flew up and then fell to the ground in a heap, dead.
Sienna let out a scream and ran over to Ana in tears, it wasn't long before that she too was killed. Sienna dropped the Crystal Ball in fear and stood up looking away as if she was afraid to see more. She was horrified.
A few moments later she threw the Crystal Ball in, and forgot about the necklace, she walked out of the dorm room quickly and put on a smiling face as she went down to the Common Room.
There was no way she was going to tell her friends that she had predicted their death, that would just make them live in fear, and was it really possible to stop the future, or even predict it for that matter? When she came down the Common Room was empty, she walked out of the Portrait Hole and made her way to the Great Hall, where Ana and Lily were sitting with the Marauder's eating and looking amused.
"We haven't seen any map." Sienna heard Ana say, "Why would we need a map?" she asked snitching some of Sirius' bacon.
It was nice to see her friends there, and all of a sudden keeping a map, and outdoing the Marauder's and fighting over who was more intelligent seemed so petty, that Sienna felt sick inside.
Sienna sat down and sighed, "Did you boys lose something?" She asked amused, grabbing some breakfast.
James glared, at Sienna, "You know what we're talking about." He bit out, Sienna looked up at him and felt a pang in her heart.
Nothing would really ever be okay, obviously she was cursed with the sight. Sienna didn't want to be seeing these images, she would have rather been ignorant to it. She was just staring at him without realizing it, "Okay, I know I'm hot, but you're making me nervous." James joked.
Sienna snapped out of it and laughed lightly, "Sorry, I was just thinking." Sienna said, looking over and seeing the person she did not want to see right now.
"About what?" Ana asked.
"That I really don't want to talk to Crystal Jean right now!" She said frantically looking at the 6th year Hufflepuff.
All their heads whipped in the direction Sienna was looking at, "Oh shit." James said freaking out, "She's coming this way!"
"No, really?" Sirius asked in a sarcastic manner.
Remus, grabbed Sienna's hand and they started dashing down the hall, Lily, Ana, James and Sirius not far behind as they ran as far away from Crystal as possible, they were now in the Main Hall and breathing heavily.
"That was close." Lily said panting.
Ana looked over, "Oh God," Ana said watching the girl approach them, "This isn't good…" She finished as Lily nodded in agreement.
Sienna however was suddenly amused by this, "It's…it's…THE QUIZ MISTRESS!" She screamed dramatically and falling into a fit of giggles.
"Nice name." James commented.
Ana however, had had enough of her friends incessant giggling, "Shut up Sienna. Do you think we could run for it?" She asked desperately.
"LET'S TRY!" Lilyreplied and started to run, however James tripped, and fell, they all left him behind they peeked around the corner where Crystal caught up with James.
The Quizzing Began.
"How are you?" She asked.
James whimpered, "Fine."
"Fine as in just okay, or great?" She asked.
"As in great." He said casting a glare at his so called friends, Crystal looked that way, but they all hid behind the corner.
She turned back, "What are you looking at?" She asked.
"Nothing…" He said pressing himself up against the wall.
"How can you look at nothing? What is nothing? Is nothing a something?" She asked happily, oblivious to James' pain.
"I don't know, you tell me." He said trying to edge away from her.
"Are you okay, you look pale, do you need to go to the Hospital Wing? Have you ever been to the Hospital wing?" She asked.
He laughed a little, "Well, nice talking with you gotta go." He said trying to escape.
"Are you dating?" She asked following him down the hall.
"Really, I have to go." He said walking further.
"Why, where are you going?" She asked.
At this point Snape passed by, James had never been so thankful to see the greasy haired git, "Look Snape wants to talk to you." He said and shoved Crystal towards Snape.
Snape looked over and glared at James, as Crystal started to stalk Snape down and quiz him, James sighed in relief and ran to where his friends where.
They were currently laughing their asses off, "Traitor's." He mumbled walking past glaring at them all.
"Hey, we like you and all, but we are not going to be stuck with Quiz Mistress." Sirius said shaking his head.
---
Later that night Sienna screamed, and freaked out finding out that the Halloween Ball was not that far away, and she needed to get a costume, Ana left her laughing, telling her that they would go to Gladrags and get a costume next weekend.
"Ana, the Ball is next weekend!" Sienna said flailing her arms about.
"Duh, it's on Sunday, we'll shop Saturday." With that, Ana walked away smirking, along the way she found Sirius, who was grinning.
He pushed her against a wall and kissed her passionately, she was surprised for a moment and in this moment he stuck his hands in the pocket of her robes and grabbed the map, he pulled away breathing heavily.
"Knew you had it." He laughed.
"Hey, that could have come in handy!" Ana pouted, "Who made it anyway?" She asked curiously, ignoring the numb feeling on her lips and the electricty that had run through her body when he had kissed her.
"We all did, Remus helped to create the opening presentation, we all did little parts. It's helped us so many times." He replied happily.
She sighed, "It could of helped us girls too." She said pouting.
Sirius laughed and kissed her again only to hear, "You pig Black."
