Chapter 7
Chop off the dead person's head and tell them that congratulations, they get to join the Headless Hunt.
"Gah! I can't believe there's bloody funeral. Again,"
"Calm down mate,"
"Yeah Sirius, don't you think you're over re-acting just a wee bit?" Peter asked, moving closer to James. He was already beginning to regret ever saying. Siding with someone other than Sirius in an argument Sirius is in is never a good idea.
"I have to go to a funeral, at a house full of my relatives, and listen to some random dude get up, and list all the great things that my great aunt has done. She hasn't done ANYTHING. And besides that, my mum's still pissed at me for that little disco ball thing we pulled,"
"It was brilliant though!"
"James, you do realize we ruined the ceiling?"
"So?"
"Would you're parents be happy if you ruined their ceiling?" Remus stopped James and Sirius' banter, even if it was only for a moment. He knew that they would continue it until something else came along and distracted them.
"…No"
"I didn't think so,"
"Moony, I appreciate that, I really do, BUT I STILL HAVE THAT BLOODY FUNERAL!"
"Padfoot really doesn't want to go does he?" Peter leaned towards Remus and asked.
"No! Really?" Almost anyone else would've picked up on the sarcasm dripping from Remus' voice, and normally Peter would have too, but right then, he was having one of his blonde moments. Sirius just kept on ranting and ranting, and by about 3rd period he had got it out of his system.
Later that day, the four friends were up in the common room, doing homework. Well, Remus was doing homework, Peter was TRYING to do homework, and James and Sirius were playing a very intense game of exploding snap.
"LIGHTBULB!" Remus suddenly shouted, almost jumping out of his chair right as one of the exploding snap cards exploded.
"Merlin Moony! You almost made my loose an eyebrow!"
"…You're a wizard. That goes to a school for wizards and witches,"
"And that matters why?"
"You could just re-grow your eyebrow? You know with magic?"
"…Right. I knew that..."
"Suuuuuuure you did," Remus said with a smirk on his face.
"Anyways, what I was going to say was that at the funeral, Padfoot here could chop off his great-aunt's head, and be like, 'Congratulations! You get to join the headless hunt,'" James and Sirius looked up at him in awe.
"See? This is why you're a Marauder!"
"Moony, that is brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!" James exclaimed, almost in awe. And with that, the four boys known as The Marauders started planning everything out.
"Does anyone want to say a few words?" Sirius jerked his head up. Well, I guess this is it. He thought to himself. He grabbed the sword he nicked off a suit of armor at Hogwarts and walked up to the podium. He stood for a few seconds, making sure that he had everyone's attention before starting. In one swift motion he swung the sword from behind and chopped his great aunt's head off. He could heard everyone in the room gasp before a strange, almost frightening silence filled the room. He could see his mother turning red with rage.
"Aunt Cassy," He said, turning towards the now headless corpse.
"Congratulations. You get to join the headless hunt. Oh and mum, you really should've been in Gryffindor. You look just stunning in red," With that he started running towards the fire place, reaching into his pocket for the floo powder he had hidden there earlier. He looked back one last time before stepping into the fireplace. He knew next summer would be hell.
Alright so, the first time I uploaded this I forgot to add my authors note and disclaimer and all that fun stuff. So I decided to re-upload the chapter and do it right this time. So this is my first beta-ed chapter up. I hope you like it! Please please review people. It'll make my day and take my mind off my history essay.
Another thing: Thanks to Penguin-LoverX for pointing out that Dorea was actually James' mom. So I decided to change it. The person who is dead in this chapter is Cassiopeia Black. I just figured Sirius would call her Cassy (:
