Chapter 3: Half Breeds? Passwords? Girls? Guys?
"Skeeter, Madeline"
"…RAVENCLAW!" cried the sorting hat. The oldest Skeeter sister ran over to the Ravenclaw table where she was met with many cheers.
"Templeton, Tamara" Professor McGonnagal announced. This sorting took longer the hat was placed on the young girls head.
It spoke softly in her ear, "Hmm one Syltherin parent another Gryffindor…where ever shall we put you? I think you better go to GRYFFINDOR!!"
James started cheering for the girl "Yes another little first year to kick out of the common room chairs!" cried Sirius. Lily scowled at him while James said,
"EXCELENT!!" The time passed fairly slowly, and by the end of the sorting the boys were getting ready to eat.
"Food time!" one of them exclaimed after Zender, Florence.
"Not food time…" another Marauder said in apparent distress.
"Ugg I want to food!!"
"Shhh all of you be QUIET! Dumbledore's about to speak" Lily told them.
"Oh come on Lils we know what he's going to say already!" James told her. Lily grimaced at him. Dumbledore then stood up to speak and the hall went quiet,
"Hello and I am happy to welcome to all of our new students and our old ones back! I know you are all anxicious to eat-"
"HERE HERE!!" Sirius had stood up on the bench and waved his fist in the air when Dumbledore had said this just to be pulled back down by Lily who promptly told him off.
"Thank you Mr. Black I would just like to remind you all before you are too tired to listen, not that you are paying any attention currently (many heads snapped up and looked at Dumbledore when the last comment came out of his mouth) anyway the Forbidden Forest is named that for a reason, I must tell you with Voldemort back you would be even less wise to enter it than before. Mr. Filch has added about thirty items to the list of 'Things that Will be Confiscated if Found List' you will find out what those items are when they are confiscated from you! Now TUCK IN!" With that two things happened the first was an amazing amount of steaming food filled the tables and Sirius stood back up to say,
"CHEERS TO THAT PROFFESOR!" and shot Gryffindor colored streamers into the air that slowly glittered down to the floor.
"Do you know what a bad example you set Sirius?" Lily cried. "Its awful we're going to have first years standing on tables in no time!"
"O calm down Lils! Its no big deal I just wanted to show my appreciation!"
Sirius then began to stuff his plate with all the food he could (mashed potatoes, chicken pot pie, stew, bread, chicken, gravy and pumpkin juice) when he noticed lily staring at him in an amazed expression on her face. He stopped his eating for about a millisecond as he piled food on to her plate and she watched open mouthed and eyed.
"Eat Lily and stop watching me it's putting me off!"
"Your disgusting you know that."
"I love you too"
"Humph!"
After the meal had disappeared (Sirius had also done thorough justice to the desserts) Lily and Remus had to lead the first years up to the common rooms. Rorrie, Becks, James and Sirius were left to talk to themselves.
"So James you still Quiditch captain this year?" Rorrie asked he had been last year for the first time and it was already pretty safe to assume he had kept his roll.
"Yup and this year I'm doing complete new tryouts!" he told her.
"Waddya mean?" the noise came from Sirius' mouth as he tackled the large hunk of cake that was inside of his mouth.
"Well everyone has to try out again, the old team mates to, you never know if there's someone better."
"Oh well I don't need to worry about that then." Sirius told him.
"I'm sure you don't, but your still re trying out."
"Whatever…"
Last years team had been a good one, but James Potter never put anything in front of his success, he was a beater along with Sirius they made a great team and they knew each others actions immensely well. Lily had been one of his chasers last year along with Peter and a fourth year names Perry Cox. The keeper had been Verity Hooch, she had graduated last year though and now James was on the hunt for a new keeper. Last of all the seeker last year was a girl named Stephanie Waldren, she was now a sixth year but she had told James she was dropping out of the team.
"We also have to fill up two positions Stephi dropped out Padfoot, and Verity left." James told Sirius.
"Well Mr. Prongs I'm sure you'll find a great team." Rorrie looked at Becks confused,
"What's with the names? You guys always call each other weird names!" Becks said.
"Marauders secret." Sirius told her.
"Oh come on tell me!"
"No can do." James said.
"Why not?"
"MARAUDER'S SECRET!" the two replied accusingly. Rorrie and Becca stuck their tongues out at them and walked away.
"Girls! Always need to know everything!" James exclaimed.
"I no Prongs O' Pal its in their nature!" Sirius told him.
"How do you know what's in their nature?"
"James! I know all come on the girls love me I mean look at me I'm Smart, Funny and DASHINGLY HANDSOME!" he said with a flourish.
"That doesn't explain anything." James pointed out.
"Yes it does, when they flock around you, you pick up stuff its basic psychology I mean really the fact that they need to know EVERYTHING is right in the same book as the fact they go to the bathroom in packs! Trust me I know all!"
"Why do they do that?" James pondered.
"The bathroom in packs thing, don't ask me how would I know?" Sirius asked with wide eyes.
"You're an idiot, yah know that?"
"Yes I do prongsy yes I do!"
"At least we have that clear!"
They came to the portrait of the fat lady.
"So Sirius do you know the password?"
"How would I know?! You keep on asking me this stuff! It's not like I have ever told you o yah james when ever you have a problem come to me cause I know all!"
"I hate you…"
"I know."
"Right we've got that settled now whats the password?"
"JAMES! DO I NEED TO KEEP ON TELLING YOU?"
"No, no that was just way to fun to resist."
Sirius grimaced at him then said "helftumpin Hippogriffs." To the fat lady, she swung open saying,
"Right you are Mr. Black!" and he stepped inside. While James stood their open mouthed. As he entered he saw that Sirius had joined his other friends, Remus and Peter and went off to join them as Lily walked jauntily down the girls dorm stairs.
The girls sat in a circle around the fire talking. "So Lily any guys caught your eye yet?" Rorrie said in a sing song voice. "James got way cuter over the summer!"
"Nope and James? WAY NOPE!"
"Why do you hate him so much anyway?"
"He' so cocky and arrogant and hes always a jerk to me!'
"Yeah I guess, but he did get cuter over the summer!" Becks pointed out. Lily rolled her eyes,
"So Rorrie what about you? Seen any guys? You and Sirius maybe?" Lily inquired.
"Oh Merlin yes please!" she whispered in an excited tone, the other girls laughed.
"What about you Becks?" Lily asked.
"I don't know I don't think any of the Marauders, I just want to be friends with them and I haven't seen many other guys yet, but I'll inform you when I see one."
"Come on lets go talk to them!" Rorrie said.
"Rorrie! When you say that don't you mean you guys can go talk to them but im gunna go flirt with a certain Black?"
"Yes I do mean that lets go!"
"Alright!" cried the girls.
James and Remus were playing a chess game while Sirius and Peter watched as the girls walked over.
"Hey guys!' Becks said to them. "Who's winning the chess?"
Sirius started sniggering "Moony of course, poor old Prongs can't play chess for his life!"
"I'll go help him." Becks told them and moved to the other side of the table and where James was sitting.
"NO STOP!" she cried. "What are you doing! Put that piece back." She ordered James actually looked mildly frightened.
"O-ok…" he said as he put the piece back.
"that would have been like committing suicide you idiot!" The game went on for a while and the other two girls watching and talked with Sirius and Peter. When the game ended they went over and sat down in the chairs by the fire to talk. They did this for a while, the girls mostly gossiping while the boys listened in until Lily said,
"This just hit me! On the train when Snape was talking to us he called one of us a half breed! What was that all about?" she asked. Remus paled, but James quickly answered.
"He must of meant half blood like one muggle parent one magical parent."
"No…" Lily said. "I don't think he meant that because he did say one of us was a half blood using what you just said. I think he meant like a Centataur or a Giant or something."
"No Lily," Sirius cut in "Does it look like any of us are a Giant?"
"Well no but-"
"there's nothing to worry about its just Snape being a slimy grease ball."
"Okay whatever you say Sirius."
