Chapter 2-The Marauders
Setting off towards the dungeons, I thought about what to do. They still hadn't gotten rid of what I did to them last night.
Quickly deciding that since tomorrow was Saturday, to turn everything in their closets or common room scarrlett with gold polka dots.
I heard footsteps on the staircase next to me so I ran from the room.
Running down a corridor, I changed my appearance back to how I was born with. My beautiful and defined face looked frightened and my white with black and green striped hair in tiny braids was in a pony tail trailing behind my head.
In my haste, I didn't notice the Marauders turningthe corner until barraling into them.
Panicking even more, I grabbed James and Sirius by the collar and dragged them down a passage behind a picture.
My long legs helped me run faster, but with those two struggling it was rather hard.
"If you two would stop struggling, this would go a lot faster!' I exclaimed.
Stopping in the middle of the passage, I caught my breath.
"Who are you?" Peter asked after catching up to us.
I straightened up to my full height, which was about as tall as James and Sirius, I said," Well I'm surprised you don't recognise me, We only had detention together a few hours ago."
Seeing their confusion, I changed my appearance back to the short person with slightly wavy and brown hair.
"Oh. We never did catch your name though," James said thoughtfully.
Going back to original, I said, "It's Kadashia. Kadashia Calecto. Also known as the Hogwarts Phantom."
Awe dawned on their faces.
"So it was you who did that! That was awesome. I loved the idea of the fireworks," Sirius said.
"Well thank you. Wait until tomorrow. They'll be decked out in Gryffindor colors, except their skin. If you wanted, you could do that, so I don't take all of your fame," I said laughing slightly.
Mischeif sprang into Sirius's eyes.
"And I know just how to do it, too!" He exclaimed.
Catching on, I again saw the confusion.
"How you gonna do that?" Peter questioned.
Sighing loudly, Sirius turned toward me. Shaking our heads simultaneously together, I pushed James so he was in front of me.
"It's quite simple really," Sirius started.
"All you need is red dye-"I continued.
"gold dye-"
"unicorn hair-"
"3 quarts of water-"
"centaur hair-"
"then all you got to do is put one drop on each of them!" We finished together.
"That's great! We should start now," James said.
"One small problem,"Remus said. Everyone turned to look at him better.
"What?"
"How do we going to get centaur and unicorn hair?"
"Boys, just follow me," I said.
Not seeing if they were following me, I walked down the passage, took a right down another passage connected to this one, took a left down another one and came out next to the front doors.
Stopping, I turned around. They were all standing there in awe.
"How the hell did we just get from the dungeons to the Enterance Hall?" Sirius asked.
"Passageways. Duh," I said.
Opening the door slightly, I slipped out.
Not hearing any footsteps behind me, I turned around.
"Are you coming or not?" I asked.
"You're crazy! Dressed like this? No way!" James shouted.
"Fine then. I'll get your clpaks for you! Babies," I whispered the last word under my breath. Silently flicking my wand, I turned to them. "They should be here in 3,2,1," right as Isaid '1', their cloaks were in their arms.
Looking at me impressed, they put them on and walked out the door.
Nearing the Forbbiden Forest, Siruis asked,"Where are you taking us?"
"We're getting our ingrediants."
"You think you can get unicorn and centaur hair?"
"I know I can."
"I'll bet you 10 galleons that she can't," James whispered to Sirius.
"You're on," he said back.
Entering the forest, I sighed, visibly relaxing. Breaking into a run, I ran towards the middle of the forest.
Seeing lights up ahead, I started to slow down.
Coming closer to the arch, the one on duty got down on his knees and bowed his head.
Bowing back, I asked,"Where's Firenze?"
Before he could answer, though, Baldor walked towards me.
"Follow me like always, Animal One."
Turning to the boys, I said,"Don't leave my side. Don't talk to any of them. Just let me do the talking. Alright?"
"Yeah," they all answered.
Turning back to Baldor, I nodded my head.
We started walking to the middle of the camp, when Sirius had to be stupid and walk a different direction from where we were all going. Of course, everyone had to follow, except me.
It was a few minutes later before I checked to make sure they were following.
"Uh... Baldor, I'll be right back." Not waiting to see if he heard, I transformed into a blood red and black unicorn.
Taking off, the other unicorns fell into step behing me. Following their footsteps, I caught up to the boys in no time.
Peter was the first to turn around. Squeaking slightly, he said,"Uh... guys?"
"Yeah?" Remus said distractingly, still not looking.
"You might want to see this!" He was squeaking quite noticalby by now.
"What Peter?" Sirius said exasperatly while turning around with the other two.
Upon looking at me, they froze.
Silently flicking my tail slightly, the other unicorns surrounded us leaving about a 70 foot range in our circle.
"What do you think we should do?" James asked quietly.
"Whatever you can. Try and ask for forgiveness for whatever you , unicorns seem to like girls better," Remus said.
"Oh how I wish that Kadi was here. She could probably help us," Sirius said sadly.
"Because, you're the one who left when she said not to leave her side, Pads!"
"Not my fault, Moony. I saw something pretty and I just had to follow it!"
While their bickering continued, I silently was making my way over to them.
James saw this and snapped,"Would you two stop it? The red one is making its way over here!"
Freezing, their eyes slowly made thier way towards me.
When I covered half the distance, again I stopped. Turing my head, I looked at the lead unicorn and flicked my ears.
Knowing what I meant, he said,"Why did you wander off?"
Shocked at seeing that they could talk, I laughed/whinnied.
"We we-were following S-Sirius," James replied shakely.
"I saw something interesting," the questioned man said.
Narrowing my eyes dangerously, I stalked my large body over to them. As I got closer, I started transforming back into a human.
Staring murderisly at them, I shrieked, "YOU SAW SOMETHING INTERESTING! WHAT DID I SAY? DON'T LEAVE MY SIDE! AND WHAT DO YOU DO? YOU DISOBEY THE ODER! FROM NOW ON TILL WE LEAVE, YOU WILL BE ESCORTED BY UNICORNS!"
After I finished my mini speach, I turned to Manco, the leader, and said," If you could spare 6 please. I won't need them for long."
"Not a problem, Animal One," he replied. Flicking his tail, 6 went and stood guard around the boys.
"We will be running. You might want to change," I said, directing it towards James, Sirius and Peter.
"How will I get there, Kadi?" Remus asked.
"Riding me, of course. No one has ever ridden a unicorn and that's not going to change anytime soon, now is it?" I said.
"But you're changing into a unicorn, aren't you?"
"Oh no, no, no, no,no. You see, you get to go for a flight. Might even help you get rid of your fear."
Before he culd reply, I changed into a jet black pegasus with the hugest wingspan in the world.
Walking up to Remus, I knealed so he could get on better.
Hesitantly, he got on. When he was on securley, I leaped into the air with a whinny. The unicorns took off after Peter was James's antlers with whinnies of their own.
A/N: Sorry for taking so long on uploading the next chapter. Got next chapter to put on laptop then upload. After that I have to come up with the fourth one yet. Sorry if it takes forever to get it up. Not much time to get it done in. Horses aren't going to work themselves!
