Chapter 21

Three weeks later

"Piss off, Black!" I huff grabbing Remus by the shoulders and walking us to the common room exit and forward away from Sirius. Looking back over my shoulder I give him a glare telling him to leave us alone,

"Nat, Remus, please," Sirius pretty much begs, I look at the crescent-fallen look on his face, and I can feel a twinge of guilt twist in my stomach. Taking a deep breath and forcing the feeling down I turn back around to face him, he looks so defeated. Sirius's eyes are normally full of life, or twinkling with laughter, the normal smirk or smile that graces his face isn't there.

"Please what Sirius?!" I scoff and briefly notice James and Peter walk over towards us,

"Nat please, I know it was a mistake and I hurt Remus. I wasn't thinking, I know that!" Sirius exasperates, and I feel Remus turn back around to face Sirius. He has been giving Sirius the cold shoulder the whole time and I have been the one to tell him to piss off for the past three weeks. James and Peter join us and stand off to the side looking between the three of us, Remus told the boys the other day he didn't care if they wanted to forgive him because we had all seen how sad and moppy James had been. It couldn't have been clearer that James missed his best friend.

"If you know that then why did you do it?" Remus retorts speaking to him for the first time in three weeks. Over the past weeks, I haven't gotten to hang out with the girls much other than 'study' with them for O.W.L's after I managed to convince Remus. I feel the familiar weight of Remus's arm lazily resting over my shoulders as he talks to Sirius. Glancing over at James and Peter worriedly, they give me a look telling me not to do anything and just letting them figure it out.

"Because I was stupid and an idiot! I didn't like Sniviellus picking his nose in our business!" Sirius yells running his hand through his hair in frustration at the same time,

"What went through your mind when you thought of this!? What did you think would happen when he saw me as a monster!?" Remus screams at Sirius and his arm stiffens around my shoulder as he glares at Sirius waiting for an answer. I look around the coom room making sure nobody is around when I notice a group of 7th years start to walk in. Fuck, I can't let them find out! I think and look around the common room wide-eyed. I know I won't be able to drag all four boys to their dorm, I scan the room and my eyes fall on the fireplace. I look back at the portrait and see it opening. Without thinking I slip out from Remus's grip and grab his tie before reaching for Sirius's and then James and Peter's ties as well. Dragging them with me I rush to the side of the fireplace, running my hand along the candle holder, and press down on the lion engraving,

"Nat what are you-" James huffs out confused, I just shrug and pull all four of the marauders by their ties through the side of the mantle into Godric's study. Everything looks the same as the first time I was here and I let a small smile creep onto my lips as I look around the familiar room.

"Merlin's ball sack where are we?" James asks completely shocked while the other three marauders have been shocked into silence, I let out a sigh and rub my temples as I know there will be more questions,

"Why are we in here?" Remus asks starting the flood of more questions,

"What is this place?" Sirius questions looking around at all the stuff in the room,

"What's the stuff on the desks and shelves?" Peter adds,

"Is that a map of Hogwarts?" Sirius continues I automatically look at the giant blueprint map of Hogwarts,

"Ok! Shut up and listen! We are in Godric's study James, Remus we are in here because some 7th years were about to walk into the common room and since I don't even know what this is about, I figured you wouldn't want to slip in front of them. Sirius, you asked the same question as James. Peter, it's journals, documents, and other random stuff. Sirius again, yes what does it look like?" I say in one go and take a deep breath after explaining it all. All four Marauders are looking at me with wide eyes and gaping mouths after I explain and answer all their questions.

"But-"

"How did you?"

"What?" The boys' confused reactions to my quick answers make me chuckle softly before an idea comes to mind. If I'm not here they will say exactly what they need to, I think with a slight smirk on my face.

"Ok do whatever you need to sort yourselves out. Fight. Shout. Scream. Whatever I don't care. Don't touch anything in here, don't break anything." I state firmly pointing to each one of them before walking to the exit and out of the room leaving the boys alone. I take a deep breath when  leave the room,

"Well, well, well what do we have here?" A voice says with an undertone of mischief,

"I don't know dear brother but it looks like Gryffindor knows a few things we don't," The other continues so when I look up I see red-haired twins looking down at me with smirks on their faces. It's not Fred and George, it's not Fred and George. I repeat in my head continuously,

"Prewett, Prewett" I respond my mischievous smile crossing my face, as I lean against the wall with my arms folded over my chest.

"Gryffindor," Fabian starts looking at me with an all too familiar look,

"So, what's behind..." Gideon continues with the same look,

"The mantle..." Fabian ends, looking at me expectantly. I roll my eyes at the two and kick off the wall walking right up to them,

"Now why do you think I would tell you?" I answer with a hint of playfulness in my voice that I normally use when talking to Fred and George or after Jack and I got caught after a prank. They look a little shocked at my different tone of voice, they have barely heard me talk but Fabian had during quidditch.

"Ok fine, we will"

"Just see for ourselves" They alternate before reaching for the candle stick and pressing the lion.

"It's not going to work"  I sing-song voice copying Hermione's exact words to Fred and George before they tried to put their names in the Goblet of Fire. Fabian and Gideon link arms and confidently walk at the wall. Crack! I burst out laughing at the twins who are rubbing their foreheads, looking stunned after walking through the wall I just came out of, but they ran straight into the wall. "Told you," I say with a smug voice.

"How did you"

"Do that? You just"

"Come through from there," They ask me and I note their, now red foreheads.

"I'm just better than you are," I sass with a smirk fully evident on my face. The boys look at me with raised eyebrows,

"Where did this"

"Mischievous attitude come from?" They ask looking at me amused and like they are seeing me for the first time,

"Aw, it's always been there" I tease with a fake pout, "You two just didn't see it," I chuckle softly before turning on my heel and waving at them over my shoulder. "I take it I will be seeing you around?" I ask them assuming they are going to bug me until they know what's in there as I walk up the stairs to the girls' dorms. 

"You know!"

"It Gryffindor!" They alternate calling after me, I walk into my dorm with an amused smile on my face and collapse onto my bed.
