I WAS LOOKING AROUND ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND SOME HINTS FOR THE SEVENTH HP BOOK. IF YOU WANT TO SEE WHATS MIGHT HAPPEN GO TO MY PROFILE PAGE. AND PLEASE DON'T STOP REVIEWING.
The next morning we all woke up and Harry said, "Well the snows probably melting now. We probably should put a water repellent spell on everything."
"Good idea," said Hermione
Everyone pulled out their wands and cast the spell on themselves and all of their books and other things that they carried around with them.
Once we were done casting the spells Ron went over and opened the door. It was pretty funny. Because MH had the prank repelling spell in it the water was like a wall. Ron opened the door and it was a wall of water outside. People were swimming around in the corridors because the water was up to the roof.
Ron turned back to everyone and said, "How are we supposed to breath out there?"
"Oh don't worry about it," I said, "Do you think Sirius would not think about that before we did the spell?"
"Well…"
"Well what," I grabbed my stuff and walked out into the corridor or should I say lake. Sure enough it was like a grew gills because I could breath under water. I stepped back into MH and said, "It's alright, are you guys coming or not. This is supposed to be fun remember."
Everyone stepped into the water which was really warm considering it was the melted snow. Everyone started swimming towards the Great Hall. The 4 long tables were visible this morning because there was no more snow.
"Finally," said a voice from behind me, "We will be able to eat again."
I turned and said, "Wow I never knew we could talk under water this is so cool."
"Sure is," said a boy who swam by me, "Thanks for doing this. Was it your idea?"
I stopped and turned and said, "Well it wasn't my idea exactly. It was my Godfather Sirius Black's idea and we helped him pull it off even though he was capable of doing it himself he wanted to get us involved in being a Marauder."
"Wow cool your godfather is Sirius Black. Awesome. So how do your parents know him?" the boy asked
"Well Sirius and my dad were friends before they came to Hogwarts, and they could quite possibly have been second cousins but I haven't taken the time to figure it out. Sirius just said in passing that he could somehow be related to my dad. So then they came to Hogwarts and met up with two more boys and wola the Marauders were founded," I said
"So your telling me that your Godfather is Sirius Black of the Marauders and your dad was also a Marauder. Which one?' he asked
"Haven't you heard," I said, "My name is Gina Potter, pleased to meet you. What's your name?"
The boy started to cough and said, "Gina Potter, how? I thought Harry Potter was an only child? So your parents are James and Lily Potter or are you their niece or something?"
"I'll explain if you want to get together later," I said
"Well sure," I stuttered, "When and where?"
"Well first off what's your name?"
"Oh, sorry, Jason, Jason Mandor,"
"What year and what house?" I asked
"Oh I'm a second year and in Ravenclaw, and you're a first year and in Gryffindor right?"
"Right, so how about the astronomy tower tonight at let's say 10:30. How's that?" I asked
"But that's after curfew," said Jason
"Who cares about curfew. I'm the daughter of a Marauder and goddaughter of a Marauder to you think I really care? Besides nobody will be up there and we won't get disturbed if you get what I mean. "
"Well… But what if we get caught?"
"We won't get caught."
"How do you know?"
"I just know. Do you want to go or not?"
"Fine, I'll see you in the astronomy tour at 10:30."
"Wait just a minute, I'll pick you up in front of your common room at 10:30."
"What good will that do?"
"Well first off I know this castle like the back of my hand and I have some other tricks."
"How do you know the castle like the back of your hand if you've only been here for less than a week?"
"I just do. I am the daughter of a Marauder. Do you think Sirius never taught me anything and my dad never left anything for me?"
"Well no."
"Okay then I'll see you at 10:30." I said
"It's a date."
"It's a date."
"Bye."
"Bye."
And he headed off to the Ravenclaw table.
I went and sat down at the Gryffindor table between Harry and Ginny, "Harry can I borrow the Invisibility Cloak tonight?"
"Why do you want it?" he asked
"Well I just have a few things to do. Wait why am I asking all of that stuff is as much mine as it is yours. So where do you keep it so I don't have to tear apart your dormitory looking for it?"
"Well I guess you can have it but don't do anything dangerous," he said and he pulled the Invisibility Cloak out of his pocket and handed it to me.
"Yes Mom," I said
We finished eating which was not the easiest thing to do because we were almost floating on our seats because of the water and then we headed out for a swim around the castle. While we swam around the school everyone started cheering and coming up to us and congratulating us on making the school into a lake. The teachers had turned back to normal. It's amazing what a nights sleep can do.
Basically we spent the whole day swimming around and playing games under water in the corridors.
That night we slept again in MH well everyone slept, but I didn't because I was meeting Jason at 10:30. At 10:20 I jumped out of my sleeping bag and grabbed the Invisibility Cloak and headed for the door. Just as I was about to turn the door handle I heard, "Where are you going Pawsie?"
It was Ginny, "Just out for a walk Forester. I'll be back in a little bit," I said
"Well night Pawsie."
"Night Forester," I said and then walked to the door, threw the Invisibility Cloak over me, checked to make sure I had my wand and headed to the Ravenclaw Tower.
I swam through the corridors and thank goodness I knew the secret passage into the dormitories. I went through the Ravenclaw door which just by chance opened without a password. I guess Sirius saying we needed the password was wrong. I then went through the chamber to the next door and through the door marked first years and ended up in the First Year Dormitory in the Ravenclaw Tower. I walked out of the dorm and into the common room.
I sat down on a couch in front of a fireplace. Everything was blue and bronze and on the wall was the Ravenclaw Crest and there was on the mantle a replica of the Ravenclaw Eagle. It was not as cozy as the Gryffindor Common Room but it was pretty nice. I heard someone and turned and saw Jason coming down from his dormitory. I looked at my watch and saw that it was 10:28. I stood up-still hidden by the cloak and followed him out into the corridor.
I didn't tell him I was there and watched him for a few minutes. He started passing around and looking at his watch. At 10:32 I threw the cloak off and he spun around, "You scared me," he said
"Sorry,"
"What took you so long?"
"Well I believe it is 10:32 and I was here at 10:28 and I said 10:30 so I believe I was on time."
"You weren't here. I've been out here waiting for you for 4 minutes..."
"Come here," I said
He sorta swam towards me because the castle was still full of water and I threw the cloak over him and myself. "Now don't say anything and let's go."
"What's going on?" he asked
"Well nothing is going on except we are going to the astronomy tour, so come on or it will take us all night."
We headed towards the Astronomy Tower and we almost made it there but we were turning the last corner and we saw Mrs. Norris.
"Oh no, we are so dead," said Jason
"Don't worry, just don't say anything and Filtch won't see us."
We headed into the Astronomy Tower and sat down.
A few minutes later Filtch came swimming into the Astronomy Tower and started looking for the people that were out of bed. After a while he finally gave up and swam away muttering to Mrs. Norris, "Don't worry we'll find them, they can't be far."
Once he was gone I pulled off the cloak and stuffed it into my pocket.
"What just happened?" asked Jason
"Oh nothing just a Marauder trick. Just forget about it," I said
"Fine, so why are we hear?" he asked
"Well you asked about me and I'm here to tell you unless you don't want to hear that is."
"No I'll listen. I'm curious."
"Okay…." and I told him my story and everything that had happen leaving out some things that Dumbledore didn't want people knowing.
After I finished telling him we just sat around for a bit and talked until I looked at my watch and sort of yelped, "Wow, it's already 12:05, we better get back."
We stood up and I put the cloak over us and we swam out of the Astronomy Tower. We headed towards the Ravenclaw Common Room and Jason and I said good bye and good night and then I went back to MH and went to bed. Just as I was slipping into my sleeping bag Ginny said, "So what were you doing. You were gone for almost 2 hours?"
"I'll tell you tomorrow when we are alone," I said
"Okay Gina. Night"
"Night Ginny."
As soon as my head hit the pillow I was asleep.
