To muah reviewers:

Blue Luver5000 – I know! :) I think that they would do truly everything to help their friend. I also don't like Peter either xxx

Madmoonaas – Thanks! It's nice to hear someone enjoys my work. I only realised today, that I've been kind of basing Jamie on how I was when I was 11 (which wasn't that long ago), or more like, what I've always wanted to be.

DISCLAIMER!

No matter how much I wish I did, I do not own harry potter or any characters/ Songs/ Poems etc. you might recognise.

The five marauders

Chapter 13

"What you five showed today, was an act of true bravery," McGonagall started, as soon as we walked into her office, "You four," She turned to the boys, "Defended your friend from students who know more advanced magic then you, and didn't even end up with a gash, while you," She turned to me, "Took all the blame for something all five of you were to blame for, even though you knew the four boys might hurt you if you do. You five are true Gryffindors, and I'm proud of you."

I think we were the only people alive to ever see McGonagall smile so widely.

"I decided," She continued, "To cancel your detentions, and award each of you ten points for such acts. Well done, you may go now."

"Thank you professor," We thanked, and left.


"That went well," I said, as we made, what we hoped was, our way towards the Gryffindor common room.

"What, Did you expect her to start yelling at you for being attacked?" Remus asked.

"No, but I didn't really expect her to be so proud of us."

"Neither. And she cancelled our detentions!" Sirius rejoiced.

"I was looking forwards to those!" I pouted.

They all looked at me strangely.

"Why on earth would you be looking forward to detentions?" Sirius asked.

"Well, I always got detentions in my primary school, and I always had a different task to accomplish, from scrubbing the desks from chewing gum, to writing 'I will not set vicious mice on my teachers' one hundred times on the chalk board. I was never put off by those tasks. I treated them like dares, and I'm a complete dare-devil," I explained.

"You set a vicious mouse on your teacher?" Peter asked.

"It was not vicious. It was really cute. My stupid maths teacher was just over reacting when she saw it chewing on a school bag."

We finally arrived by the pink lady. James said the password, and we walked in through the hole, into the full common room.

As I came through, the whole common room fell silent, and everyone was staring at me.

I watched as Lily's eyes grew large.

"What the hell happened to you?" Alice yelled from across the room, staring at me with what looked like a frightened expression.

I was confused for a minute, until I realised that I'm covered in blood.

"She was attacked by a bunch of Slytherins," Sirius replied, before I even got to open my mouth.

"WHAT?" My dorm mates exclaimed.

"You heard him," I muttered. I didn't exactly want the whole of Gryffindors knowing that I'm so defenceless.

"When?" Lily asked.

"After I left the owlery."

Lily POV

"After I left the owlery."

Oh.

"When you went for your detention?" I asked, quietly, yet still the whole of the common room could hear, in the silence.

"Yeah."

My.

"Right after I talked to you?"

She nodded.

God.

Oh my God! It's my fault! I should have gone with her!

"I'm sorry," I whispered, and ran to our dorm.

I fell on my bed and pulled the curtains together.

I'm such a terrible friend! I knew that the Slytherins would seek revenge, yet I let her wonder the corridors on her own. I should have gone with her, after all, if there were two of us, the Slytherins wouldn't harm us, right?

I heard the doors open, and someone rummage in Jamie's suitcase. Soon after that, whoever it was, left.

I started crying. I bet that was Jamie. She blames me as well, and didn't even want to talk to me. The marauders will hate me now! I guess I'll have to hang out with my other friends, like Sev, now. Once Alice and the other girls find out what happened, that it was all my fault, they'll turn away from me as well! That means I'll only have Sev left.

That night, I cried myself to sleep.

Jamie POV

"I'm sorry," She whispered, and ran to the girls' dormitories.

Everyone stared after her.

After a while, Remus finally said, "Well that was odd."

"That's the understatement of the year," James commented.

"I'll go talk to her," I told them, and made my way to our dorms.

Two pairs of hands stopped me. I looked around to see James and Sirius.

"What?" I asked them.

"We already said, we are never letting you out of our sight again," Sirius explained.

"Well then how am I supposed to sleep?"

"You'll sleep in our dormitories," James explained, as if it was the most obvious thing on earth.

"Fine. Can I at least go and get my things for tomorrow," I asked, sensing that there is no point in fighting.

"No way!" Sirius exclaimed.

"I'll get them for you, if you want?" Leila proposed.

I looked at her with a smile. This is the first time I've heard her speak voluntarily.

"Ok then."

"What should I get?"

"Umm…" I muttered, before listing the things off, "My tooth brush, the parchment on my bedside table, the t-shirt on my bed, my school books, and some clothes and underwear."

"Ok. Be right back."

Less then two minutes later, she came back and dropped the things into Sirius' arms.

"I'd give them to you, but you don't want to get blood on them, do you?" She smirked at me, before sitting back down.

Most people were back to whatever they were up to when we came, but some curious eyes did keep on flickering my way.

"Let's go then," I said, and walked into the first-year boys' dorm.


"Umm guys…" I said, after a minute.

"Yeah," The four asked.

"I'm planning on taking a shower, but I'd rather if no one followed me…"

"Aww why?" Sirius asked, with a pout.

"umm… Because I'm a girl!" I exclaimed.

"Exactly! Come on, it's not like it'll be the only time I'll see a female body," Sirius smirked.

I wrinkled my nose, "That's disgusting."

He smirked wider, "But totally true."

"I'm not having a shower with you if that's what you're asking for! We're only bloody eleven!"

"It's not like we always do as people say we should."

"You dirty minded dog!" I yelled, slapping him (gently, he's still my friend).

"Jameeeeeeees! She hit me!" Sirius fake cried.

"If you said such a thing to me, I'd hit you too," He said.

Sirius put my stuff on his bed. I looked at him, and started looking through the things, while saying, "I'm not sleeping in your bed after what you just said."

"Come on, I was joking!" Sirius yelled.

"Whatever," I said, still looking through the stuff.

I groaned. Leila had to chose a pink top and a skirt for me. Oh well… I'll live. But then I noticed something missing…

"Urgh! Laila forgot to get me my sleeping top."

"I can lend you a t-shirt if you want?" Sirius proposed.

"Ok then."

"But," He said, "only if you'll sleep with me."

"You dirty little bastard," I said, shooting him a glare. I then turned to the other boy (Remus and Peter stayed in the common room for some reason), "James, got a shirt I can borrow?"

" 'Course!" He said, fishing out a random Quidditch shirt, that would cover me perfectly, "And you can sleep in my bed, as long as it terribly angers Sirius," He added, with a smirk, throwing me the t-shirt.

"OY!" Sirius yelled.

"Thanks James," I grinned, and went into the boys' bathroom.


I looked in a mirror as I passed it, and had to do a double take. I thought it was just a bit of blood, but it turned out I must have had a VERY terrible nose bleed. I could now see why my friends looked so frightened when they saw me. My whole face was completely covered in, now dried, blood. To add to that, my school robes, and the clothes I changed into after our final lessons (some random ripped jeans, and a white vest), were also now, crimson red. My black hair was a bit darker then usual, and was all sticking together. I looked terrible to say the least. And it was all because of a broken nose!

I quickly stripped out of my bloody clothes, and stepped into the massive shower. I stood under the running water for a few minutes, and let it clean me of all blood, before looking at the five shower shelves, one for every boy in the dorm, each of which had a different amount of shower gels and shampoos.

The first shelf had only a small bottle of shampoo, which wasn't yet opened, and a still closed shower gel.

The second shelf, same as the first, had a closed shampoo and shower gel.

The third shelf, had an opened shower gel, with 'for wizards' written on it, same as a shampoo, both made by 'Crazy fresh shower magic'.

The fourth shelf was empty.

The final shelf was obviously magically extended. There were a few shower gels, some 'for men' and some 'for witches and wizards'. Other then those few, the shelf was full of hair products. There were about six different conditioners, wizard and muggle, for men, and for both (men and women), for night or day time only, chocolate smelling, and 'hardcore' smelling. Then there were even more shampoos. All of which were already opened. I smirked, knowing full well which shelf belonged to Sirius.

I decided on using his products, wondering about his reaction when he finds out. After all, his hair is the one thing he loves more then his friends.

I used his shower gel, which smelled like coconuts (I looooooove the smell of coconuts!), and settled on the muggle chocolate smelling, two in one shampoo and conditioner.

After I was positive I got rid of all the blood, I turned off the tap, and stepped out of the shower.

Another problem.

Of course, I didn't ask for a towel, and being a first year, I didn't yet know the drying charm. I groaned, and picked out a random towel, which seemed unused so far. I quickly dried myself and slipped on James' t-shirt, letting my damp hair down.

I hung up the towel, quickly rinsed the shower cabin from the blood that didn't make it to the drain, washed my teeth, and left the bathroom. When I stepped into the dorm, I noticed Peter and Frank were already there. Peter was already snoring in his bed, while Frank looked very close to falling asleep.

The other boys were sitting in their beds, chatting about something. I walked up to James' bed, and sat on it, beside him.

Sirius frowned, "Why won't you sleep in my bed?"

I raised my eyebrow, "Why are you so eager on having me sleep in your bed?"

He smirked and winked, "Not many boys my age can say they've 'Slept with a girl', even if all we did was sleep."

I glared at him, "You have the dirtiest mind an eleven-year-old could possibly have!"

"I'm twelve in a week!"

"Whatever! I was going to show you another movie, but you've highly annoyed me, so for now, goodnight," with that I got under the covers next to James.

"Hello," He smirked.

"Good night," I smirked back, tuned to have my back to him, and my face facing Remus' bed, and quickly fell asleep.


I REALLY don't know how this happened. I fell asleep with my back facing James, giving him as much personal space as I could, so he didn't feel too uncomfortable.

But guess how I woke up? I was cuddling into his chest, and his arm was around me!

When I comprehended this, I blushed crimson red, and tried to get out from under his arm. But I couldn't do so without waking him.

I heard a small chuckle from somewhere near by and stopped. I looked up to see Sirius standing over James' bed with a deeply amused expression.

"HELP!" I mouthed.

He nodded, walked up to James, but instead of lifting his arm to let me out, he bent over him, and yelled into his ear.

"GET UP! YOUR GIRLFRIEND IS STUCK!"

James shot up, banging his forehead against Sirius' who was almost dying of laughter, and back down, never removing his arm from around me (I have no idea how that's possible, but that's what happened). James then started to comprehend what Sirius yelled, and looked at me. He blushed just as bad as me, and removed his arm.

I looked around the dorm. It looked like Sirius has woken the rest of the boys up with his yell, for everyone was currently gazing at me and James with dazed expressions.

"Good morning lovebirds," Sirius joked, earning himself two pillows in the face.

I hopped off the bed, and walked over to where I left my school uniform along with all my other stuff.

"Well I'm gonna get washed before breakfast, be right back," I told them, before shutting myself in the bathroom.

I brushed my teeth, brushed my hair (Which still smelt like chocolate), put it in a pony tail, and got dressed.

Once again, when I exited the bathroom, I found myself surrounded by boys getting dressed. Thankfully, only Sirius, the slow dresser, was still in his underwear. The others were almost all dressed.

I jumped onto Sirius' bed (James' had his school things on his), and laid down. I tried to remember the dream I had, but failed miserably. All I remember is that it was a horrible nightmare.

"So, James, Jamie, might I ask why when I woke up, I found the two of you cuddling like an old couple?" Sirius asked twenty minutes later.

It was currently 7:45 am, and we were on our way to breakfast.

"All I remember is that after you fell asleep, Jamie started trashing all over the bed muttering 'no', and then she started cuddling up to me," James replied.

I blushed a bit, and continued walking, my odd dream suddenly coming back.

I was walking through some kind of village, carrying a child who couldn't be more then a year old. The little girl had black hair and was currently sleeping. All around me were children in costumes. Suddenly, a large bang echoed through the village, but the muggles didn't seem to realise. I looked to the house towards which I was heading. It was in ruins.

"No…" I muttered.

The boys carried on talking, but I didn't listen. I was thinking about the dream.

Now that I think about it, it wasn't really that scary after all. But I was pretty sure it meant something. For a moment I considered telling the boys about it. But I decided against it. After all, it's not like I'm a seer, right?

I was pulled out of my thoughts when we walked into the almost full Great Hall and Sirius started singing, at the top of his lungs,

"Down in the valley where the green grass grows
there sat Jamie, sweet as a rose
she sang, she sang, she sang so sweet
along came James, and kissed her on the cheek.

James and Jamie,

Sitting on a broom,

Will he resist,

Her wonderful perfume?

When they go to the forest each week,

What do they do? What do you think?

She sings, she sings, she sings so sweet,

And then James does kiss her, not only on a cheek.

James and Jamie,

Sitting on a broom,

Will he resist,

Her wonderful perfume?"

He was about to sing another verse, but I jumped on his back, and covered his mouth with my hand.

"I'll let you give me a piggy back ride if you shut up," I whispered in his ear.

I felt him smirk under my hand, and he nodded.

Everyone was still staring at us, thanks to Sirius and his bloody song, when he started sprinting down the Great Hall, alongside the Gryffindor table, me still on his back. But when he was about to stop, he lost his balance, and fell forwards onto the floor, with me landing on top. Everyone present, including us, laughed at the scene.
