AN: This chapter will focus around Seamus. Thanks to those of you who read and review!
It was almost midnight, and Seamus Finnegan was in the Common Room with his best friend, Dean Thomas. Seamus was afraid to tell anyone what Mr. Potter had said to him, he was afraid of what Mr. Potter would do to him. He wondered if an apology to Eve would make it all better. He only told Dean that Mr. Potter was mad at him.
"So, if I just apologize, do you think this will all blow over?" "I don't know", Dean replied. "Did he actually talk to you?" Seamus paused. "Yeah. He really didn't seem happy with me." "Why are you so worried
about this, anyway? It's not like he'll hurt you." Seamus shrugged to hide the fear he felt after Dean said that. What if Mr. Potter did hurt him? Seamus had heard of the Marauders, heck, everyone had. They were pranking legends. Who knew what Mr. Potter, along with one or two of the other Marauders, was capable of?
Two days after Christmas, Seamus was walking around outside when he felt something hit his arm. He stopped and looked at the ground to see a decent number of dungbombs at his feet. Before he had time to react, however, they all went off at once, causing everyone around him to scream and run. Or, in some cases, laugh at him.
These little things seemed to happen a lot to Seamus over the next week. More dungbombs, even a hex or two that made him cough up refused to believe that Mr. Potter was behind this. He was a grown man, why would he waste his time on a fourteen-year-old?
One day, a note appeared on his bedside table. It said:
Mr. Finnegan,
I hope it has become clear that you will not, under any circumstances, go near Evanna ever again. You will, however, apologize to her.
We appreciate your cooperation.
Messers. Moony, Padfoot, and Prongs.
Seamus wondered for a split second what would happen if he didn't apologize to Eve. As if on cue, another note appeared.
P.S. If you do not cooperate with us...Well, let's hope you do.
Seamus got the message. The little pranks were nothing compared to what the Marauders would really do...
He quickly got a piece of parchment and wrote a letter to Evanna.
AN: So? Sorry if it wasn't as action-packed as it could have been. I already have the idea for the next chapter! Thanks again to those of you who read and review!
