A/N: Sorry I haven't been updating lately… I've been somewhat busy (ahem: homework and reading fanfiction) but anyway, hope you enjoy! And this is George's POV.

The Mini-Marauders: book 1

Chapter 4

The Black Lake and Halloween

"Oh my gosh!" Leah exclaimed, jumping up. "I forgot I promised Hermione I would study with her in the Library! Got to go, guys!" I of course knew that she was not going to do anything of the sort. She was going to meet me at the Black Lake. This was a very good plan, because that was where Hermione always was, and no one really liked her (except Leah, they were good friends).

"I have to go ask McGonagall something, see you1" I said, standing up and leaving some very confused friends. Sure enough, there she was, but it wasn't obvious. Only I knew to look up a tree. There was a rope in her hand and I was confused. She seemed to be tying the rope to the tree.

"Hey, Princess! Whatcha doin?" I called.

"Hanging a rope," she said as she finished her tying. "There! Done!" she grabbed the bottom, and I looked at her confused. "Just watch!" With a great leap, she jumped off the branch, swung down, and let go over the lake. There was a big splash when she landed in the water. I grinned and followed suit, but not climbing as high as her. No, climbing was not my forte. The water was freezing, as it was October thirtieth. We splashed for a while, but then I realized we'd been gone for almost an hour. While frantically trying to make up an excuse, I cast a drying spell over both of us as we ran, grinning, up to the school.

"What took you so long?" Fred asked eyeing me suspiciously.

"I ran into Lee on the way back," I explained, desperately hoping that Lee hadn't been in the Common Room since I'd left. And apparently, I was right because Fred just nodded. Leah ran in 10 minutes after me.

"Man, that girl can study! We were in the library nearly an hour!" she exclaimed, sitting down on a chair.

Halloween was the most magical holiday at Hogwarts. The most eventful, too. But previous Halloweens never had a troll break in, let me tell you, that's what happened. As we were being ushered to our Common Rooms, Leah suddenly ran in the other direction yelling, "Hermione! She doesn't know about the troll!" Hermione Granger had been crying in the bathroom ever since my idiot brother Ronald called her a know-it-all (bleeeeeep we had to extract this as it might not be suitable for children under 13). The five of us immediately followed her and didn't even care that we had just entered a girl's toilet. Sure enough, there was Hermione, huddled under a sink, while the troll swung his club around frantically. I cast a stunner at the troll, but that didn't work, as I'm only 13, and that troll is like a million feet tall. Not to mention how fat he was, I mean seriously, lay off the Pumpkin Pasties! Harry had the brilliant idea of hitting it with it's own club, which only knocked him back. Leah jumped onto his back and accidentally shoved her want up her nose. The beast winced in utter pain, and fell to the floor faster than you can say 'it fell to the floor'. Leah was screaming in terror, and she hit the floor with a great crack, which was probably like a thousand bones breaking. Professor McGonagall rushed in. Uh-oh, were we in for it!

A/N: Hope you liked this chapter! I might not be able to post for like a week because I have things going on and a project due for school. (It is a cool one, a fairy tale spin off, which is right up my alley, it's exactly like Fanfiction. Unfortunately, Harry Potter doesn't count as a fairy tale. I asked.) Anyway, I bid you farewell, patrons!
