"Is this really necessary?" Remus begged.
"How else are those people supposed to learn?" James hissed.
"Come on Remus, don't be that guy." Sirius added. A long moment was drawn out of Remus followed by a disapproving look.
"Fine", he concluded. "Why does it have to be a poor girl" Remus muttered.
"It's going to be pink; girls love pink. We will be doing her a favor." James threw in.
"Colovaria" Remus whispered from their hiding spot. A thorn from the bush they were hiding in poked his wrist and made him wince.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Uuuuh Abby?" a redhead asked her.
"Hmm?" She responded.
"Your… your hair…. It's pink." the Redhead replied.
"My hair's not pink" She said confused.
"Look" the redhead demanded. She grabbed her bag and pulled out a mirror. The other girl took it from the redhead. Her face slowly filled with realization and horror.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"I can't breathe" Sirius whispered in a silent laugh. James wasn't far off. That slytherin girl had to pay. They were nothing but trouble. After she had ruined the curve on the charm's exam, he knew they had to do something.
The girl caught sight of them laughing. She marched over there with her horror quickly being replaced with fury.
The guys stopped laughing one by one as she reached their spot.
"What. Is. This?" She demanded.
"Next time you'll think before ruining the charms exam huh?" James replied smugly.
"That is what this is?" She inquired. "Next time you'll think before you do this." She threatened and grabbed a strand of her hair. She stormed off fiercely.
"Please" Sirius smirked. "What's the worse she can do?"
24 hours later
"Yep. That was a stupid idea." Sirius coughed. They had gone for a swim in the lake. By the time they had returned, however, all their clothes were gone. What was in their place were dresses, none other than bright pink.
" I don't know" James thought out loud, "She's good. She should be in."
"Like a marauder?" Remus asked
"Exactly" James answered.
One hour later
"And why on earth would I be friends with you?" she requested. "You turned my hair pink" She stated. Remus looked down in guilt.
"Because", James went on. He put wrapped his arm around her shoulder and started walking. "You, me, Sirius, Remus: we'd make a great pack. Oh the trouble we could cause." She took his arm off her shoulder.
"I'm still not convinced" she responded.
James brow furrowed in frustration. "We'd make a great group. The stereotypes we could and would end. Revenge on enemies and just all around having fun. Now, what do you say, are you in?" She took a long time to answer. The consideration on her face growing with each passing second.
"I'm in."
And that's how Abby became the fourth marauder, and made the best friends of her life.
