The Moon and The Star

chapter 4

Kat's POV:
I quickly dress in yoga pants and a loose fitting red T-shirt. I pull in my black combat boots and grab my Nimbus 1020. The guys and I race to the quidditch pitch and I win by about .002 seconds. "So what position do you 'play'?" James asks me smirking slightly. "Seeker. But I can play chaser pretty well also." I reply as Sirius and Remus return with the box of balls. "Hey want to scrimmage? Liam Evans just showed up for the year." Remus says as we watch a redheadded boy who looks a lot like a girl in our year walks over to us. "Remus, James, Sirius! It is great to see you three! And who are you?" He says as his eyes meet mine. "Kat. Kat Lupin." I reply.

"Well Kat has anyone told you you were beautiful?" He asks me as Sirius and Remus look beyond pissed. "Yes and just warning you, if you flirt with me again I will rip you limb from limb and force you to eat your internal organs. I already have an admirer and you don't want to get in the middle of that." I say as I glare at him. He backs up Remus and James smirk at him but Sirius is watching me. "Do you like your admirer back?" He asks me his voice shaking slightly. I look at him funny and nod. He looks heartbroken and I wonder why because I like him. "Well Liam we were about to test Kat on the quidditch pitch and we need another chaser or beater. You up for it?" James asks him. He smiles and nods quickly.

He and Sirius grab their beaters bats and release the bludgers and snitch. Remus fly's up to the goal posts and James starts racing at him with the quaffle. Liam acts as the opposing beater and hits a well aimed bludger at me which I both avoid and pull a cool trick. "Damn! She really can play!" James shouts to Sirius. Sirius is watching my fly with wide eyes and barely avoids a bludger sent at him. I dive down to chase the snitch which is speeding along the ground near the goal posts at the other end of the field. I pull up just before I hit the ground and I notice that all sounds have stopped from James, Sirius, and Remus. Liam is the only one still trying to play and he keeps sending bludgers at me. I hear a bludger right behind me and I watch the snitch fly up. I rocket up again and grab the snitch. I hold up the small gold ball and that is when I realize that we have an audience. They explode with cheers and I see the girl who is Liam's sister and her group of girls cheering me on.

Lilly's POV:
I watch the Lupin girl play and I smirk knowing that Potter and Black are completely confused. I remember her name being Katherine from the sorting last night and I glance at my group of girls. They include Becca, Chloe, Audry, Stacy, Amy, Cynthia, Emily, Alice, Cassie, and Molly. I think that this Katherine girl would make a very good inclusion. "Hey Katherine can we talk to you?" I shout as she lands on the field. She walks over to us and we lead her to the black lake. "So we know you sing because of your brother. Have you ever thought about joining a group who sings for the school and competes?" I say. She smiles at us and nods. "Oh and please call me Kat." She says quietly.

"So we would like you to join the Marudettes. Are you in? Oh and it is exclusive girls since the Marauders is really for guys." Cassie adds. She smiles and nods eagerly. We all grin at her and she becomes one of the four leaders. The leaders match the Marauders last names so they are Becca Potter, Cassie Black, Kat Lupin, and me Lilly Evans. We then quickly introduce ourselves and walk back to the quidditch pitch. We meet up with the Marauders in the middle of the field and Kat breaks the news to the Marauders. They look a little offended but not much and we realize that we need a dorm room to fit 12 girls.

We then saunter away from the for boys who we hear gasp or groan as they watch us leave. Cassie, Becca, Kat, and I laugh quietly and we all notice how Kat's laugh is the highest in pitch. "Hey Kat what is your vocal range?" Stacy asks walking closer to us. "Umm is get from metzo alto to soprano 1. Why?" She responds looking back at Stacy. "Well we don't have a soprano 1 only a few soprano 2s. So you are now what will get us to the top hopefully." She replies as she falls back into her formation. Kat nods looking surprised but doesn't push it. We keep walking and head to dumbledor's office to see about a dorm room big enough for all 12 of us and so Kat can move in with us. Once we reach his office I say the password 'Lemon Sherbert' and the four leaders walk up the stairs.

As we knock we are invited in and see the Marauders are already in here. "Why are you in here?" Cassie and Sirius ask together. "We are changing our sleeping arrangements." Kat and Remus chorus. "Okay stop repeating what we say!" Becca and Potter say in unison. "Can you leave so this is private?" Liam and I ask synchronized. The Marauders fold their arms over their chests and the Maraudettes slip into the sassy stance of hands on hips, head cocked to the left, left toe elivated, and his leaning to the right. We size each other up and as one chorus "fine stalemate!"

Dumbledor was watching all this go down with a look of pure amusement on his face. "Well now that that is over I believe we are here so the girls can get a dorm for twelve and have Miss. Lupin join them and the boys want Mr. Evans to join them." He says his eyes twinkling. We all look at each other "yeah pretty much." "Well this will be finished before dinner is finished so I would go enjoy your time on the grounds." He finishes. We all nod then walk out if the room. As we walk down the spiral staircase we all talk about what we are planing on doing. But as the girls and I reach the bottom we snap our fingers and our other girls appear behind us. The Marauders stop dead at the synchronism in which we move. We then end up scaring them with the unison hair flip and hips swaying as we walk away.
