"Psst."
Clara whipped her head around searching for the sound. She was in the library working on arithmancy homework growing rather frustrated. She was growing even more frustrated because the invisible noise that wouldn't seem to stop was driving her up a wall.
"Psst." She heard again.
"What?" She whisper yelled clearly frustrated.
The four Marauders appeared right before her eyes. With her mouth wide in surprise she noticed a cloak in James' hands.
"How in the hell did you just do that?" She asked her eyes bouncing between the cloak and James' smug face.
"Invisibility Cloak." He said so casually Clara needed to double check if he was serious. He sat down followed by Remus, Sirius and Peter opposite her.
"I thought those weren't real." Clara mumbled looking at the cloak intently.
"Very real." He gleamed. "Here try it." He tossed her the shimmery fabric.
"Wow." She said quietly. "It's beautiful." She whispered so only she could here. She placed a piece of the cloak around her forearm. Her face filled with amazement as she could see her hand, but her forearm was suddenly missing.
"Right." Sirius grinned watching Clara's astonishment over the cloak.
"So," James cleared his throat wanting the attention back. "We're casting the charm on the Great Hall tonight."
Clara's face lit up. "The Slytherin prank?" She smiled brightly. "I almost forgot about that."
"Yeah, well if Sirius here didn't drown you, we could've done it sooner." James smirked leaning back in his chair.
Sirius clapped him on the back of the head. "Really?"
"You did! That hurt by the way." He frowned patting the back of his head turning back to Clara.
"Shut up about it mate!" He too frowned turning back to Clara looking at her expectantly.
"Anyway." Clara laughed full heartedly enjoying the exchange between the best friends. "I'm in obviously."
Remus nodded. "We'll pick you up in the common room at midnight."
"I'll be there." She threw the cloak back to James.
Sirius watched her intently while James caught the cloak. "See you tonight then." James, Remus and Peter all stood walking away leaving Sirius sitting there watching her. The three of them stopped to curiously watch near the exit realizing Sirius hadn't followed.
Sirius only turned when he noticed Clara watching the exit intently. "Go on. I'll be right there." Sirius said waving them off. James forcefully grabbed both Remus and Peter yanking them through the exit making sure to give Sirius a wink before he left.
Clara turned her attention back to Sirius trying to suppress the grin that was forming on her face. She couldn't believe that this James was so radically different than quidditch James, yet she adored it. She bit her lip waiting for him to continue.
"You can't do that." He groaned.
"What?" She smiled knowing exactly what she was doing.
He laughed taking over of her hands in his holding it softly. "Please?" He asked softly.
"Fine." She pretended to be upset waiting for his response.
"I was thinking –"
She gasped interrupting him. "You were?"
