THE MARAUDERS

Chaos

Dedicated to imaginationwildfire

'What on earth are you doing Potter ?' Emily's voice split the silence of the corridor as James Potter whirled around panicking.

'N-Nothing that brothers you Robinson.' James said uncomfortably.

'Don't lie Potter. This is fishy.'

James quickly surveyed if anyone else was around and whispered, 'what did you see Robinson ?'

'Everything. I've been here for a while.' She lied, her curiousity driving her.

'I can believe this.' James said more to himself and anyone else and stated to kiss  stone statute before him. Emily found it gross. 'Did the school's most famous boy really went nuts after getting kicked from the Quidditch team?' She thought.

Realization dawned as th statue lept aside revealing a dark secret passage way.  Emily knew it following James wasn't the best idea. So impulsively, that was exactly what she did.

'How did you find this out again?' She asked wrinkling her nose at the smell of rust and mold

'Sirius and I we're fleeing Filch.' James said carefully stepping inside. 'Just opened up at the right time really, don't ask how. ' he said quickly.

Emily snorted as she went inside not liking her close proximity to the dirty stone. 'Of course it did .' She teased.

James paused his wand illuminating the path. 'What do mean ?'

'The professors, especially Mumbledore, go easy on Gryffindor.

James grinned. 'Yeah so easy. That I'm kicked off the team.'

'That's not a punishment now James is it ? You would prefer not playing to winning dishonestly.'

'Bloody hell, I'm impressed. '

'Cause I'm awesome. DUH'

'Do you think I was right?'

'I used to think you're prejudiced against the Snakes but you letting them win the cup proves me wrong for good James.' Emily said.

'Right.' He said stopping suddenly under a trapdoor. This should  be Honey Dukes.

'The marauders aren't total dumbasses maybe' Emily mused.

There was a pause as the Hazel clashed into the dark brown and James climbed the ladder and lifted the trapdoor with a grunt. Emily followed ascending into the light gracefully like a goddess and then she got distracted by the candy stuffed basement, stumbled.

'Merlin.'  James caught her as she tripped over a blood lollipops. 'I've never met anyone clumsier.' He straightened his glasses which she has knocked askew. 'Do me favor and never try Quidditch.'

'I won't be allowed but yeah I can fly. You can find me at the top of Ravenclaw list.' She blurted out and immediately regretted it.

'Then why aren't you on the team?'  James asked and continued when she didn't reply 'Is it because you don't have a broom ? I can give you mine a Hippogriff 1603. I get a new one each bday.'

'That'll kind. But no thanks and anyway it's getting uncomfortable here let's get out and grab candys.' She strode past him without waiting for a reply.

'That was an abrupt change in subject.' James thought.

Later, the duo left Honeydukes with bright smiles on their faces. Emily clutched a bag of chocolate frogs close to her chest inhaling the scent and James found him staring at snow falling softly on her silky brown hair.

Emily stuffed a chocolate frog in her mouth to avoid further conversations. They walked down the village finally stoping near an isolated dilapidated cottage.

'Fancy a peek into The Shrieking Shack ?'

'The what?' Emily asked with frown.

'You don't know.' He added with a mischievous smirk. 'Scotland's most famous haunt.' He said turing at the house, Emily did not the brief look on concern on his face but he continued 'villagers claim to hear howls.'

'Howls?' Emily stiffened. Looking uncomfortably at the villa.

'Right.' James looked he would say anything more but was interrupted by a noise.

'ATTACK.' Sirus came down the slope enchanting snowballs to hit them like bullets.

Emily shrieked as chills went down her spine. James ducked behind a tree as Remus and Peter appeared with more ammunition. A chaotic war broke out where every person stood for themselves. Emily's fingers went numb as she made countless snowballs.

Smash.

Sirius used his wand to summon a particularly large snowball and hit  her face making her fall.

'Are you alright ?' Emily squinted her eyes opened as a Redhead pulled her to her feet. Lily was worried.

'Hold up Lily flower.' She said recollecting what just happned. 'You're so fucking dead now Sirius Black.! ' she yelled.

Crack!

Sirius took at moment to realise his friends were hysterically laughing at him. Not Emily. His clothes were gone and winds were icy.

'If you wanna see me naked we can go somewhere private honey. ' Sirius called Emily while desperately trying to conjure new clothes.

'Is this guy even serious?' Emily replied.

'Yes I'm Sirius. Now please give me my clothes back. James Remus you fuckers were supposedly my mates !! Help me dimwits.' He wailed.

The marauders roared. Emily said to Lily, 'Let's leave marauders to themselves. ' Lily nodded and smiled as they walked back towards the castle.
