The five marauders

Chapter 18

We did get into trouble after all. McGonagall gave us each detention the next day in breakfast. She seemed to be very embarrassed about what she did, as were all the other staff… Except Dumbledore. He seemed to take it all very well. In fact, he made a comment about what an amazing and funny prank this was and how it will surely be remembered in years to come, at breakfast.

For our detention, McGonagall locked us in the transfiguration classroom, and made us scrub all desks from chewing gum.

We did do it, but she was a bit angry to say the least, when she came into her classroom and each desk had the word MARAUDERS on it in permanent ink. She never let us clean anything again.

We were popular now. Everyone knew our names. Everywhere I went, someone said "Hey Jamie," or "What's up marauders," To which I would cheekily reply, "The ceiling."

I did like the popularity, I always wanted to be popular in school. The guys seemed to like the attention as well.

I was even asked out by a few second-year boys I've never met! They were all good looking, but I told them, "Sorry, but I'll just stick with my friends for now."

I didn't want a boyfriend. At least not at the moment. I've never had any romantic feelings for anyone, and I'm not sure if I want that to change too soon…

I would also add that I've never kissed anyone, but that's not really true, is it? I've been kissed, but I didn't necessarily kiss back. But if I have to tell the truth, I'm glad that my first kiss was with Sirius, he's amazing after all:

He's good looking, more then that actually. He's bloody HOT! And he's only a first-year! I can't wait to see what he'll look like when he's fifteen!

He's also super funny! He can take a joke very well, and can play great pranks on others.

He's an amazing Quidditch player, which I noticed during our flying lessons.

He's brave, which is something to be proud of. After all, he stood up for me during that incident with Malfoy.

He's loyal to his friends.

I could go on for hours! He's the best friend anyone could wish for. I'm so glad I have him.

A few weeks later, we came across Peeves again. He was throwing water balloons at random students, and as soon as he saw us, started attacking us. We stole some of his balloons, and started throwing them at him, but he simply dodged them. We spent the next hour in a massive water fight, until Filch came and started yelling at us, so Peeves grabbed Mrs Norris by the tail and flew off with her with Filch chasing after them.

November flew by quickly, and before we knew it, it was December.

We were in the first-year boys' dorms like always. Remus was reading some book, James was playing exploding snap with Peter, Sirius was laying on his bed, and I sat next to him on the floor. I let him play with my hair, as we watched the two boys play the card game.

During the third round, I started a random conversation.

"So, who's the oldest and youngest of the marauders?" I asked out of plain curiosity.

The four boys looked up at each other, and then at me, and shrugged their shoulders.

"Sirius is obviously the oldest, since he was born on September 12th 1959," I reasoned, "But who's next? Anyone else born in 1959?"

Peter raised his hand up.

"Really? I didn't know," I smiled, "So when's your birthday?"

"December 21st 1959," He replied.

"That's in two weeks!" Remus exclaimed.

"Why didn't you tell us?" James asked.

He looked around at all of us, and shrugged his shoulders.

"Well, you'll most definitely have a party!" I said.

He smiled at me, and we continued.

"So I guess I'm next, since my birthday is 18th January 1960," I stated.

The guys nodded, confirming that it's true.

"So who is next?" I asked, looking at Remus and James.

"Umm.. My birthday's in March," Remus informed.

"Same," James said.

"March 10th 1960," Remus added.

James groaned, and let out a sigh, "I'm the youngest then, March 27th 1960."

I smirked and jumped onto James' back.

"Who's a little baby James?" I teased.

"Shut up," He growled, and shook me off.

I ran up to Sirius, and pulled him off the bed. I linked hands with him, and started spinning in circles singing, "We love little baby James," over and over again, with Sirius joining in.

We then pulled Remus and Peter into the circle, and we started dancing around James, still singing, "We love little baby James."

Suddenly something jerked me up onto the ceiling by my ankle.

I let out a little scream of shock, and looked around. The other guys were still on the floor, and they were all looking from me to James, who had his wand pointed at me.

"OY! GET ME DOWN!" I yelled.

"Nah, you look much better over there."

"James, you should be careful whose toes you step on today because they might be connected to the foot that kicks your ass tomorrow," I warned.

He laughed, "You haven't been sarcastic for a while, hon."

"Sarcasm is a foreign language to you, isn't it?" I glared, "Will you get me down already?"

He thought for a while, and then replied, "No."

I grunted in frustration, and folded my arms.

"What spell did you use?" Remus asked.

"I heard Snivellus tell his ugly friends about it in History of Magic. It's a non-verbal one. Levicorporus," James replied.

"Never heard of it," Remus said.

"Jaaaaaaaames," I said, in an annoyingly sweet voice, "I heard you like a certain red head."

James looked up at me, "I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Oh, but you do! Even Sevie Snapie said so!" I teased.

He glared at me, "So you are on friendly terms with Snivellus?"

"Nope, I'm on friendly terms with your Lillykins! She told me Snapie thinks you fancy her."

"Shut up! I don't like her!" He exclaimed.

"Of course you do!"

"Do not."

"Do too."

"Do not."

"Do too."

"For Merlin's pink polka dot pants, would the two of you shut your traps and stop your blabbering?" Frank yelled, walking into the room.

"Only if he puts me down!" I exclaimed.

"I won't put her down until she says sorry for calling me a baby!" James argued.

"But you clearly are one if that's how easily you get insulted over little things like that!"

"James, put her down," Remus pleaded, "She's going to get a head rush or something!"

"Stay out of this Remus," James said, but did wave his wand, making me fall on the floor.

I got up, and rugby tackled him to the ground.

He let out and "Umph!" and started struggling against me.

After a few minutes, James had me pinned to the ground, with my arms above my head, unable to move.

"What now?" He asked me.

I smirked at him evilly, "I bet you'd love to have Evans in this position under you."

The boys snorted in laughter, while James fully glared at me.

He suddenly got up, but before I could do the same, he picked me up, and threw me over his shoulder, like a rag doll.

"What the hell are you doing!" I exclaimed, as he carried me down through the common room, causing many people to look at us.

"James, what are you planning on doing with her?" Sirius asked, clearly amused.

"You'll see," He replied, walking through the portrait hole, and into the corridors.

He continued carrying me through the castle and onto the grounds. When he started making his way towards the lake, I realised what he was about to do.

"DON'T YOU DARE!" I yelled.

I started struggling against him, but I was no match.

"Help me!" I yelled at my three other friends, who were following us.

They all shook their heads and smirked.

"NOO!" I screamed as James dropped me into the freezing water.

It was deeper then I expected, and I went at least a few meters below the surface, before pushing up from the bottom of the lake, and swimming back up to the surface.

"Y-YOU I-I-IDIOT! IT-TS THE MID-DDLE OF DEC-CEM-MBER!" I stuttered from the cold, swimming to the shore.

"You'll know not to mess with me again," James warned.

"I'm freezing," I whispered, taking off my soaked jumper.

"Here," The amused Sirius said, and gave me his own jumper, and put a warm arm around me.

"Thanks," I said, cuddling into him, and stealing some of his warmth.

I didn't see the three thumbs up the other boys gave him and the middle finger he showed them, as he let me cuddle into him.

So after that incident, I got a terrible case of fever, thanks to James, so I had to unfortunately miss Peter's birthday party. But I heard it was great! The boys got the house elves to bring them loads of food and drinks, and the whole Gryffindor tower celebrated with them.

Madam Pomfrey kept me in the hospital wing for two weeks! My fever only lasted for about five days, but the bloody medi-witch insisted on keeping me there for much longer. I was bored out of my mind! She didn't let the boys visit me, since she heard someone say that it was James who threw me into the lake (I told her I went for a walk and slipped).

And so I entertained myself by learning the alphabet song backwards. Fun.

After two days, I have gained the completely useless skill of knowing the alphabet backwards, and I was bored again.

One day, when I was completely cured and bored, I was sitting and singing 'Blue suede shoes' when someone came into the hospital wing.

I recognised him straight away, even though he was covered in boils and some green goo.

"The hell happened to you, Snivellus?" I asked the black haired boy.

"Your friends, that's what, Jemmia," He glared.

I glared back, "Don't dare call me that!"

"I will call you whatever I please, if you call me Snivellus!"

"Stop snivelling Snivellus."

"Shut up bitch," He growled.

"Mr Snape, I will not have that kind of language in the hospital wing!" Madam Pomfrey shrieked, "Now, whatever happened to you?"

"James Potter happened, miss," He replied, glaring at me.

I smirked. A boil and green goo curse? I will need to learn it.

"Hmm…" She muttered, examining Snape.

She took out her wand, and with a flicker, the green goo was gone.

"Now, you will need to put this on the boils, and they should disappear after two hours," She said, giving him a tin full of some disgusting brown substance.

He thanked her, and left.

"OH COME ON! You wont let me leave when I'm perfectly fine, but when a student covered head to toe in boils comes, you just send him away with some disgusting substance!" I exclaimed.

"You may go, if you wish miss White," Madam Pomfrey finally gave up.

"YES!" I exclaimed, and ran out of the hospital wing before she could change her mind.

I was so happy I was out, I literally cart wheeled into the Great Hall for lunch.

I kept cart wheeling all the way to my friends, and once I got to them, I jumped onto the bench, and yelled, "I'M BACK!" To which everyone cheered.

"Hey J, we missed you," Peter said, high-fiving me.

"We sure did," Sirius confirmed, throwing an arm around me.

"Yup," Remus agreed.

"Like hell we did," James concluded.

I turned to glare at him, and then turned to Sirius, "Siri, tell James that I'm not speaking to him because if he didn't throw me into that bloody lake, I wouldn't have had to spend two weeks in the hospital wing learning the alphabet backwards!"

Sirius nodded, and turned to James, "Jamie told me to tell you tha-"

"Come on Jamie, I'm sorry!" James interrupted.

I ignored him.

After a minute, I turned to Sirius, "Well? What did he say?"

"Umm… He said, 'Come on Jamie, I'm sorry'," Sirius replied.

"Well then tell James that I'm not a very forgiving person."

"She says she's not a-"

"Oh come on! I'm your best friend!" James exclaimed, before Sirius got a chance to finish.

Sirius turned to me again, "He says, 'Oh come on! I'm your best friend!'."

"He could have killed me!" I exclaimed.

"You coul-"

"I knew It wouldn't kill you, because if I saw anything go wrong, I would jump after you!" James assured.

Sirius repeated his words.

"Tell James that I'll forgive him, if he promises to teach me the two hexes he hexed Snapie with."

"DEAL!" James exclaimed.

I turned to him, spat on my hand and held it out.

He spat on his, and shook mine.
