Okay, so lets really get this party going. This is going to be a very short chapter told from Peter's point of view. I strongly feel that Peter was a Marauder for a reason. And hopefully I don't get too many disgruntled readers because of this, but Peter is shy yet quick witted. However, he doesn't fully grasp the school work he does, and so people perceive him as slow.

Part Seven – Tussle in the Common Room

"Whatcha up to Peter?" I was interrupted from the review reading I had received from Professor Prewett this afternoon by a bubbly voice to my left. I looked up in shock – people left me alone for the most part, and it was just odd for anyone to be talking to me.

"Oh, hi." It was that new girl we had had so many problems with – Melody. Well, in fairness, the troublesome one had really been her crazy friend, but they had defiantly started trouble yesterday on the train. And not the fun Marauder, 'try-not-to-get-caught-while-causing-yet-another-irremovable-prank-in-the-great-hall' kind of way. But in the 'shit-disturber' kind of way.

"Can I ask you a favour?" She smiled at me. Golly she was pretty. It was quite clear why Remus had taken to her so quickly. I, myself, had never been too smooth with the ladies. This had been proven time and time again whenever Prongs was making another attempt at Lily Evans, and I made myself out to be a complete dudder every time. I had actually been shocked as anyone can imagine when Lily's friend Alyssa started pursuing me last year. I had almost muddled the entire thing up before I outright admitted that I had feelings for her. Thankfully, everything worked out and we were quite happy now.

"Umm...I guess." I said apprehensively. I probably couldn't help anyway.

"Could you give me a review of the Defense stuff that we looked at today. I'm better when I work verbally, and since you're reading it anyway, I thought we could work on it together."

Wow. That shocked me. "I don't know if I'm the best person to work with for that. I barely managed to get a good enough grade to keep up with the class." I blushed as I admitted this. It was true.

"Well," she smiled at me, "All the more reason for us to work together! It'll be good for both of us." I guess she had a point. And how could I turn down the opportunity to get to know more people. I barely knew anyone besides Remus, James and Sirius anyway. They seemed to be the only people in the whole school who did not think I was completely slow. Well, them and Alyssa. God, I smiled every time I thought about her.

"Sure." I smiled as she grinned at me. Maybe this wouldn't be too bad after all. We spent the next hour going over the review package and quizzing each other. Slowly, more and more people joined in, until a almost all of the 6th year Gryffindors had joined in and were reciting the theory of each spell or counter attack.

This was all good until James and Riley joined in – after Riley had finished feeding her cat and writing a letter home – and they started using the spells on each other.

Sirius jumped in after James hit Riley with a particularly powerful giggling charm. He pretend to be the gallant knight for the girl, and started to swash buckle style duel with James yelling valiantly "Fear not milady! For I shall save thee!"

This of course got Lily to jump up and try and stop James and Sirius from trampling on the still laughing Riley, and Melody to send random jinxes flying in from the sidelines.

Unfortunately, just at that moment, one of Melody's jelly-leg jinxes caught Lily full on and she fell into Sirius and sent him cascading down onto Riley, who howled in pain as she continued to laugh. Lily started screaming angry spells at Melody and she had to dive for cover.

I crawled over to Riley, who was now blue in the face, as Remus jumped in to defend Melody from the wobbly Lily, and murmured the counter spell for her. She took a deep breath and thats when all hell broke loose.

She dived at Sirius's ankles, and tackled him to the ground. As he had been dueling with James again, he fell right onto James, who in turn stumbled into Melody, who was hiding behind Remus from Lily. All six of them went down in a huge heap and Riley started an all out muggle style wrestling match.

I rolled out of the way laughing as Remus kicked James into the back of the couch, and crawled over to my cheering girlfriend. Standing up, she pulled me into a quick kiss and we all watched the tussle ensue. As it turned out, several people partnered up on others, and the match quickly became uneven.

Melody, who had apparently done this before, was on the outskirts of the battle, yanking out peoples ankles, and kicking them violently towards the center of the match, and clawing her way out whenever someone dragged her into the thick of the fight.

Riley was right in the thick of things. She currently had her legs wrapped around Remus' legs and was trying to get Sirius into a headlock. I was actually quite amazed that she could concentrate on both boys at the same time. Especially with the way Sirius was squirming.

Lily had, surprisingly, teamed up with James and was clinging to Remus' back holding him in a firm headlock as James was trying to both subdue Remus, keep Sirius firmly pinned underneath his knees as well as catch Melody to try and even out the fight.

All in all, it was quite a spectacle, and had the entire Gryffindor house cheering and screaming. But of course the fun had to end.

"IMOBIUS" Someone yelled, and the entire pile of fighting teenagers froze in mid motion. It was Alex Jordan. A dark skinned, lanky boy, with big brown eyes and dreadlocks. He also happened to be the current Headboy.

"Everyone get to your dormitory's" I grinned apologetically at my tangled group of friends and I, along with rest of my house, made my way to my room.

The last thing I heard was Alex lecturing my friends. "You should all know better by now!"

Okay, review away!! What do you think?
