"IS THAT THE SNITCH?"

~~

October 20th, 1975

The weather was terrible. Every day it was raining and the temperature was low. The grey clouds were constantly covering up the bright sun. The cold wind was sneaking under the many layers of clothes the students were wearing making them shiver. The typical English weather. But as far as the kids could remember there wasn't any October like this one. Most of them in October they could go around just by wearing their robe or a jacket. But this October they didn't have that luxury. This October everyone was going around wearing a woollen sweater and even though that was providing them some warmth the fireplaces were must needed. And it was really difficult for all of the students to get away from them. They would just stand in front of them and not move unless it was time they should go.

Inside the castle the things were controllable. There were fireplaces, the windows were closed, the robes and the sweaters were warning them. But the things were getting complicated when it came to Quidditch. No one could fly with so many layers of clothes and the Quidditch uniform should be worn not only in matches but in practices as well. The Captains of the teams were organising practices weeks before they would be held just to make sure that they would have the field but they could not prevent the weather. They were just hoping that it wouldn't be so cold. So when the Gryffindors woke up to a sunny day they were ecstatic by their luck. They hadn't practice with good weather in a while now and the day of their match with Ravenclow was really close. They had lost to Slytherin last month and they're only chance to go to the finals was by winning the upcoming game.

"EL! DO YOU BELIEVE IT?" James shouted as Electra was running towards the field with a wide smile on her face. "We are so so so so so lucky!" He said and hugged his friend from his excitement.

"Are you not going to say that I was right?" Electra said smiling proudly but she saw that her friend was a little bit confused so she had to remind him "About the Centaurs?"

"Right... Well after all it was worth the risk."

The forbidden forest was called forbidden for a reason but who cared about it. After all the Marauders had done various things that were forbidden. Sneaking out of the castle and go to the forest wasn't much of a thing.

"Why is it called the forbidden forest? Doesn't just the name make you go for it?" James said to his friends as they were walking deeper and deeper into the woods.

"Well I'm sure that never ending forest would be a much more suitable name..." Sirius said and let out a sigh making everyone realise that he was tired and bored of walking.

"We can always go back if you wish!" Peter said and Remus nodded in agreement. "We've been walking for hours and we haven't come across any Centaur!"

Electra pointed her wand at them "If you want to go you can go! I'm staying! Because I'm sick and tired of practicing while raining!" She said raising her voice. She was tired as well and the more tired she was the easier she could get angry. The boys exchanged a knowing look that they should not speak and just followed her with Sirius and Remus sometimes making fun of her.

"Well yes we almost got killed but it was totally fine... Are you fucking serious Prongs?" Remus exclaimed irritated.

"Oh you didn't know... Yes, the truth is that we've been fucking for a while now..." Sirius said with a steady voice and dead serious expression making everyone laugh. He smiled at his friends and rolled his eyes jokingly as he was resting his arm around Electra's shoulders.

"Okay to be completely honest! We weren't going to be killed Moony..." Electra said turning towards her friend. "We would just be taken as hostages..."
