p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"strongAN: Hey guys! My exams are just round the corner so posts will not be very frequent for a while. Thank you to everyone who is still reading this, I didn't think I'd get even a single reader for this story when I uploaded it. I just HAD to get a chapter up so here it is! Hope you guys like it and please review!/strong/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"It was almost Halloween and The Marauders had come up with another one of their wonderful plans to bring in the festive mood. This time they were hiding around a corner with a very realistic and life sized stuffed monster, and whenever an unsuspecting first year came around the large toy would wander into sight and chase the poor soul till they cried./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"The monster they were setting after the kids was a Demiguise, a very peaceful herbivore, but none of the first years knew that yet. The last boy they had scared had wet his pants. James was laughing so hard that he had tears in his eyes. This was one of the better Halloween's he'd had. Moony, for a change, wasn't telling them off for the trick but was in fact helping them with it. He was probably happy with how smoothly the last Full Moon had gone./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"They were waiting for their next target and when they heard footsteps they set off the monster once again, probably for the ninth time that day. They heard a very girlish scream and when James peeped around the corner he saw a sight that was just the cherry on top of what had been a lovely day. Abbot was hiding behind Lily, holding her hand like a little child and Lily was smiling slightly looking at the monster./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"Lily caught sight of him and he jerked his head back, praying that she hadn't really seen him. Sirius and Peter were still snickering uncontrolably, obviously unaware of the couple in the other part of the corridor./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;""POTTER!" he heard Lily shriek and he cursed under his breath. He walked towards her casually with his lop-sided smirk on his face but he could feel his insides squirming with fear./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;""What do you think you are doing?" she demanded. "And what is that?" she asked looking at the Demiguise behind him./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;""That? That's a Demiguise," he told her with a serious expression on his face./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;""I know what it is," she said, glaring at him. emObviously, /emJames thought to himself. "I want to know what it's doing here."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;""We were just having some fun," he said ruffling his hair, the other Marauders had joined him now. "No big deal," he said,trying to make it look like having a large silver ape in the corridor was very normal./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;""You were scaring the children weren't you?" she said, being familiar with their activities. "I'm reporting you. All of you. You're coming with me," she said and started leading the way to McGonagalls office./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;""Lily?" Abbot asked pointedly with his eyebrows raised./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;""I'll catch up with you later," she said with an apologetic look and James' heart gave a leap of delight at the crest-fallen expression on the blonds face./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;""I'm surprised that you didn't stop them Remus," Lily said without looking back as she marched the four boys away from the scene while making the Demiguise float behind them. Moony was looking at the ground, a guilty expression on his face./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;""It was his idea," Sirius said with a grin and Lily narrowed her eyes at Padfoot making him shut up. They reached the Professor's office and Lily knocked on the door thrice. Moments later the stern looking witch emerged but her stony expression changed to one of shock when she looked at the monster behind her students./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;""Professor," Lily addressed her to get her attention. "I found them scaring students with that... thing on the fourth floor corridor so I brought them to you."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;""Thank you Miss Evans, you may leave," she told Lily with a smile. "Why must you always force me to give you boys detention. I'd expect better from you Potter, now that you're captain," she shook her head yet James could swear he saw some pride in her eyes. "And you Mr. Lupin. You're a prefect! You are supposed to stop people from breaking rules, not help them with it. Detention to all of you. You will meet Mr. Filch in the Entrance Hall at eight o' clock sharp. Anyone not there and it will be double detention for them," she finished and closed her office door with a bang./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"James found it impossible to be upset even with detention on Halloween night. So what if he was missing the feast? He had just ruined another one of Lily's dates with Abbot, and this time without even meaning to./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"strongAN: This chapter was more of a filler. Hope you guys liked it! If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Lastly, please review!/strong/p
