| �� ����������� It was a late night in the middle of autumn. October 31st to be precise. All were asleep after their long day of Halloween trick-or-treating and stuff, except the occupants of one house. A yellow light poured from two windows onto the frosted lawn below. The Marauders were deviating... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� Amanda leaned forward in her desk chair, eyes wide with enjoyment. "Look guys, a picture of Sirius!" She giggled. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "Geezus Goddess Amanda," Bridget rolled her eyes. "I know I'm hottest Marauder, but enough is enough!" | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� Maggie whacked Bridget. "Get real Padfoot!" | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "OW! Watch the hair!" Bridget squealed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� Amanda, aka Prongs, whacked the 'Print' button with gleeful force. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "Take it easy there," Bridget raised an eyebrow as she brushed her dark hair back to a state of perfection. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| �����������"Moony, gimme my pen," Amanda muttered as she watched the picture print. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "Get it yourself!" Maggie cried. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� Amanda, joyously humming "Joy to the World, Shingami's Come" leaned over and plucked her pen from the cup on the desk. She clicked it and began to scribble on a piece of paper. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "Weirdo." Moony sighed and clicked off the website they were on to go to www.FanFiction.net where they wrote and posted fanfics. Logging on to the penname the girls shared, Angels of Fate, she clicked on to 'When the Marauders' to read the reviews. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "Odd." She muttered into her palm. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� ';What?" Amanda piped from her game of Poke Padfoot. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "This review says 'Nice job, but it's not all right'" She opened another Harry Potter Story to find the same review. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "All of our Harry Potter Stories that deal with the Marauders being young have this review..." Bridget said, closing 'Bitter Betrayal'. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� ":And they're all signed 'M, P, &and P." Amanda murmured. "D'you think it's some kinda cult?" She asked stupidly. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� Suddenly, two pillows came flying out of nowhere. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "NOT THE FACE! NOT THE FACE!" Amanda shrieked as her chair was knocked over and she hit the floor. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� Maggie and Bridget turned back to the computer, laughing. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "Amanda, you coming up anytime soon?" Maggie muttered after a few minutes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "M-m-m-m... Uhh..." Was the only response they got from her. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "Amanda, what the Hell--ACK!" Bridget shrieked as she turned around. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "I don't want to turn around... do I?" Maggie asked as she looked at Bridget's ice-white face. Very slowly, she swiveled in her seat and gasped aloud. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� Three boys, about the same age as the girls, sat on the cluttered day bed in Amanda's office each wearing cloaks and slight grins. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "So the stories are true, there ARE three Marauders just like us!" The tallest with jet-black hair and laughing blue eyes behind glasses smiled widely. His voice had a teasing British lilt to it. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� The second also had jet-black hair, but it was much longer and pulled back with a red hair tie and his eyes were a green so dark they were nearly black. He grinned down at Amanda, legs in the air still, and nudged the first one. "As clumsy as you, I reckon." He smirked, his accent sounded slightly cockney. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� The third with light brown hair and warm gray eyes just laughed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "Who the Hell are you and what are you doing in my house?" Amanda demanded. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "Oh my God, Amanda, are you really that stupid!?" Maggie snapped. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "No, but I do believe my eyes are deceiving me." She glared up at Maggie. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� The two raven-haired boys stooped down and hoisted Amanda from the wreck of her chair. "And who do you think we are?" The taller asked. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "I think that you are James Prongs Potter, you are Sirius Padfoot Black, you are Remus Moony Lupin, and I am Amanda Hallucinating Kamm." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "Well, you're half right." Remus smirked. "You aren't hallucinating." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "Damn, that means I will have a gigantic bruise on my butt tomorrow." Amanda allowed herself to be handed to Bridget, who now stood next to Maggie. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "What-why?" Maggie trailed off. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "We came here to give you this," Remus produced an envelope from the folds of his cloak and handed it to Maggie with a smile. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "We have to go, but we'll be seeing you!" James nodded. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� Sirius and Remus went back to stand by James. With a wink from Sirius at Amanda, they were gone. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "That was freaken awesome!" Amanda crowed. "Open the letter Mags!" | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� Maggie slit the envelope and extracted a piece of paper. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "Wait! What if it's got anthrax?" Amanda cried. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "Oh will you shut up?" Bridget laughed as Maggie unfolded the note. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "'Dear Misses Kannon, Kamm, and Malone;' " Maggie read. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� ���� " 'Good Evening Ladies. You have been accepted into the 5th year of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. We apologize greatly for the delay, it seems we didn't pick up on you all the way from England because you weren't creating great magical mayhem until August 3rd of 2001.' " Maggie paused. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "That's the night I became a Marauder." Amanda blinked. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "No shit Sherlock!" Maggie growled. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� ���� " iIf you would kindly wait in Miss Kamm's bedroom from 11:55PM to 12:00AM, we will transport you to Hogwarts. Pack lightly! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Sincerely, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������������������������������������������������������������������������� Albus Dumbledore | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������������������������������������������������������������������������� ������ Headmaster' ' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "Omigod!" Amanda yelped. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "We're going! We're actually going!" Bridget cheered. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "Will you girls KEEP IT DOWN!" Garrett, Amanda's brother, burst into the office yelling like an angry rhinoceros. Amanda's parents were on a vacation in Maine, so Amanda's brother had come home for a college break to keep an eye on his accident-prone sister. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "Garrett! We're going to England to learn how to be witches!" Amanda cried. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� '"You need to go to school for that? Pipe down, I'm trying to sleep!" He snapped. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "Ah, put a lid on it!" Maggie growled. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� With an odd sucking noise, a small, neatly labeled lid covered his mouth. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool!" Amanda gasped and Bridget laughed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� "C'mon, let's get packing!" Maggie cried. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
