The five marauders
Chapter 17
Random Second year Gryffindor POV
It was now official. The five marauders were the coolest people at Hogwarts.
Although they were still first-years, everyone (with the exception of most Slytherins) loved them!
They are great pranksters, they are absolutely funny, the boys, although young, are already quite handsome, and that girl… Jamie I think, is quickly growing into a beautiful young teen. Most of my dorm is very jealous of her… Anyway, they are all intelligent which earns us back the points they lose because of their pranks, and gets us some extra ones, and they somehow managed to make the Slytherins lose two hundred and forty points! And today we all found out that they throw wonderful parties! What's not to love about them?
In charms class the next day, all second-year Gryffindors were telling their Ravenclaw friends about the party the marauders threw in the common room. I heard it went on until McGonagall came at 1am, but I'm not sure, since I went to sleep around 11pm.
When Flitwick heard his class talking about the marauders, he started commenting about what amazing students they are. Apparently, Jamie, the girl, is a natural at Charms, and the boys aren't bad themselves thanks to her. Also, I once overheard McGonagall telling Professor Brooke that they're absolutely amazing at transfiguration and that they're so brave!
There were rumours going around after that day that Jamie came into the common room covered in blood, that the Slytherins attacked her seeking revenge after humiliating them badly. Apparently, they were going to let her off because she's a girl, but they said they'd go looking for the boys. But she stood up for her friends, saying that they had nothing to do with that prank, and knowing full well that the Slytherins won't let her off after that.
Then, apparently, the Slytherins said they'll throw her down the grand staircase, but she fought them. She didn't know any spells back then, so she kicked their leader and punched one of the guys restraining her, and then she ran of! She's such an amazing and brave girl! I wish I was like her!
She then ran off, and the Slytherins followed her. One of them hit her with a 'Petrificus Totalus', and she fell forwards, breaking her nose, which is why she was covered in blood. Just then, the four boys came to her rescue and they fought the older Slytherins. I wish my friends were like that…
They are five, true Gryffindors.
Jamie POV
Nothing interesting happened again until Halloween, for which we planed a master prank *Insert Jamie's super evil grin and laugh*.
Nah. I'm gonna be cruel, you wont find out what it is until it happens.
I spent the night in the boys' dorm again. I don't know why, I just felt like sleeping there today. We decided that for second year we will somehow bring an extra bed to put in there.
I woke, as usual, quite late: around 11am. I was the only one asleep, and so I had all of Remus' bed to myself (I slept with Sirius and James. I didn't want him to be left out). Hopefully today I wasn't hugging him like I usually do with the other boys.
I looked around the room lazily, and saw that James and Sirius were sitting and chatting on their beds, Peter was listening in to their conversation, Remus was getting dressed, and I assumed Frank was in the showers, since I could hear water running.
"Morning gents," I greeted sleepily.
"Hey J!" Remus and Peter said, while James and Sirius exclaimed, "Happy Halloween!"
That awakened me.
I shot out of bed, and jumped onto Sirius' bed, almost knocking the occupant off.
"Is everything ready?" I questioned eagerly.
"Just like we planned," Remus replied.
"What are you five up to this time?" Frank asked, walking out of the bathroom.
"You'll see," The five of us chorused.
He looked at us, "Don't loose us too many points," He begged and left.
We smirked at each other. The guys carried on talking, and I took a rapid shower, got dressed, and ran back into the room.
"Ready?" Sirius asked.
"I always am," I answered.
We spent most of Halloween, which thankfully was also a Saturday, chilling in the common room, and quietly going over the master prank plan.
An hour before the Halloween feast, we made our ways to our dorms to get ready.
Sirius POV
We began our amazing prank in the kitchens.
It was great that the house-elves all loved us, or rather, loved Jamie and coped with us. Without their permission to add something to the food, we'd be screwed!
A few days ago, when Jamie and James came up with the master prank, James and I sneaked into professor Slughorn's potions cupboard, and stole some ingredients Remus needed, so he could make the important potion…
It only took him a few hours, so we had the potion ready days before Halloween.
We put that potion in the food and drinks of all students.
I was so glad that James and I bought that green potion at Gambol & Japes, it will also come highly handy in our prank.
This potion was put into the food and drinks of the staff...
About an hour before the feast, the four of us went to our dorm (Jamie had to go to her own), and put on our amazing costumes. The four of us were dressed as devils, but our costumes weren't boring like the muggle ones. Our ones changed our skin, hair and eyes to dark, crimson red. Our horns were long and extra sharp, we were able to move our tails as if they were parts of our bodies and our tridents were in fact, our charmed wands so we could hex someone with them. We also had black and red capes with hoods, black, heavy boots, and some weird trousers Jamie found for us (on my profile, there is a link to this costume if you wish to see it! It's not exactly the same as the boys' but it's similar). I have to say, we looked pretty awesome.
Once we got dressed, we made our way to the Great Hall. We didn't wait for Jamie, since she still had something else to do…
Quite a lot of people were staring at us as we passed. We didn't look at all like ourselves, since the costumes somehow made us as tall as fifth years (I love magic), but I was pretty sure that everyone knew it was us. There were rumours going around the whole school about the master prank, yet still, no one knew what the prank really was.
About ten minutes later, the whole school was already in the Great Hall. The whole school, except one person. In case you haven't yet guessed, the missing person was Jamie, but you'll soon find out why.
The great hall was decorated amazingly! There were live bats flying around and pumpkins almost as tall as me (before I put on the costume)!
Suddenly, food appeared on golden plates in front of us, but the four of us knew better then to eat it. Yet still, so it didn't look suspicious, we piled food onto our plates, and pretended to eat. Exactly two minutes later, the potion Remus created started working, and everyone except us has turned into some kind of scary monster! There were Zombies, Vampires, Skeletons, Inferius', Dementors, Ghouls, Grim Reapers, Scary clowns and Banshees. They all looked so realistic, that a few people actually screamed.
The four of us looked at the staff table. We smirked when we saw that they have all already eaten something. The three-hour-craze potion has already working. Slughorn was doing the Macarena with professor Sinistra, professor Brooke was making silly faces, making Dumbledore, who was sucking his thumb, giggle, professor McGonagall let her hair down, and was whipping it around like a maniac and Hagrid was using his hands like puppets, and was giving professors Babbling, Burbage, Flitwick and Kettleburn a puppet show. The others were just sitting there, laughing at the students.
After a few minutes of panic, the students realised that this was a prank and most found it quite funny. Just then, the final stage of the prank began.
The Great hall door swung open.
In flew a witch, with a guitar in one hand, and wand in the other, barely holding on to the broom we borrowed.
Jamie's costume was simply amazing! Her hair was magically dyed red, with black highlights, curled, and worn in a high pony tail, which she threw over her right arm. She had a knee length, red and black dress, which was ripped up at the bottom. She wore black and red fishnet tights with a few holes, She wore red high heels, the kind I thought I'd never see her wear. She also put on some makeup: Red eye-shadow, crimson lipstick and super long, fake eyelashes. She no longer looked like a first-year. She looked to be at least in fourth-year! I only just noticed that she's more filled out, and has more curves then other girls her age…
Anyway, she waved her wand, and suddenly, all the benches and tables flew up into the air, and started floating around. A few students panicked, but relaxed after they saw that Jamie put on a spell to keep them in place, and prevent them from falling. She then landed on the staff table, and started playing the guitar. After the first few chords, I realised that she was playing that famous muggle song, 'Highway to hell' (I know this song came out in 1979, and currently in the story it's 1971, but lets pretend that the song was already out xxx).
She then magically amplified her voice and guitar, and started singing:
"Living easy, Loving free
Season ticket for a one way ride
Asking nothing, Leave me be
Takin' everything in my stride
Don't need reason
Don't need rhyme
Ain't nothin' I would rather do
Going down, Party time
My friends are gonna be there too
I'm on a highway to hell
I'm on a highway to hell
Highway to hell
I'm on the highway to hell
No stop signs, Speed limit
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, Gonna spinnin'
Nobody's gonna mess me 'round
Hey Satan, Paid my dues
Playin' in a rockin' band
Hey momma, Look at me
I'm on my way to the Promised Land, wooh
I'm on a highway to hell
Highway to hell
I'm on a highway to hell
Highway to hell
Mmm, don't stop me
Eh,Eh,Eh
I'm on the highway to hell
On the highway to hell
I'm on the highway to hell
On the highway to
Hell
Highway to hell
I'm on the highway to hell
Highway to hell
Highway to hell
Highway to hell
I'm on the highway to hell
Highway to hell
And I'm goin' down,all the waa-ay-aay, wohh
M-on the highway to hell"
Through the entire song, everyone was cheering. She did the song amazingly! The teachers jumped on the table and started dancing around her (All except Hagrid, who, even though was under the three-hour-craze potion, still had some common sense, and knew the table would most likely brake under his weight.
When she was finished, Hogwarts went wild! Everyone was cheering her on, and asking her for more. And more she did give. The feast turned into a full concert, and everyone loved it! We told everyone that the food is safe to eat, so they ate and drank and cheered and sang along with Jamie.
The feast went on like that for a few hours, and finally, the effects of the potions ended and everyone was back to normal. Including the staff.
As soon as Dumbledore was his normal self again, he landed the benches and tables back on the floor and sent everyone back to their common rooms.
The five of us rushed out as quickly as we could, so the teachers didn't get a chance to put us in detentions.
As soon as we were back in the common room, we high-fived each other, and went to sleep.
It was a tiring Halloween, but it was worth it.
A/N – So, this chapter was mainly written by Dominika, but I chose the song, and made Jamie give a concert. I basically wrote everything from 'In flew a witch' to 'but it was worth it' But Dominika was the one who chose her costume (If you want to see it, there's a link to it on Dominika's profile).

If you have any ideas for what else should happen in their first year, let me know. You can either PM me, or review xxx Dominika xxx
