The Fifth Marauder (Harry Pptter Fanfiction)

Chapter Eight

"What is this?" I asked with a big grin on my face.

"Well our plan was to make you think that we forgot to get you from the train station and your birthday, so you would come home and be even more surprised, we even got your friends James and Sirius into it," Mom explained.

"What? How?" I asked.

"Your mom owled us early this morning," James explained while moving the black Knight the was apart of Sage's chess set.

"Thank you everyone who is here, I have had a tough year so far, I am happy to see you all," I thanked while scanning the familiar faces.

"Mommy can we give Maggie her presents now," little five year old cousin Anthony asked my aunt Rose. My aunt rose is the werewolf. She is usually kind of like Remus, meaning very shy towards other people beside family.

"Ask Aunt Alice and Uncle Grayson," she told him.

"Aunty Alice can Maggie open her gifts now?" He asked.

"Hey Anthony, why don't we have dinner first I'm parched," I said rubbing his belly.

"Okay Maggie," he shrugged," But only if I get to sit by you for dinner.

"Well of course you can my little one," I said messing his golden blonde hair.

"Hey not the hair, not the hair," He shouted and gave my a punch in the leg.

"So it does run in the family," Sirius said from the chair next to grandma Bennett. Our little house elf came running into the living room.

"Hello Sammy, how are you?" I asked.

"Very good Miss Bennett," He bowed.

"Sammy how many times have I told you to call me Maggie, and you really don't have to bow you are apart of this family too," I smiled at him.

"You have asked many times miss Bennett, I mean, Maggie," He spoke quietly. I saw a small blush creepy up on his face.

"Sammy was there anything you wanted to tell us," Mom asked.

"Oh yes the food that you have prepared is done and on the dinning room table," He spoke.

"Thank you for letting us know Sammy," Mom said with a sweet smile. He bowed and left the room.

"Alright we are having Maggie's favorite meal, would anyone like to guess what it is?" Dad asked. Ronni, Peter, Remus, Sirius, and James's arms shot up in the arm fast than you could say butterscotch.

"Yes boys?" Dad asked.

"Broccoli cheddar soup, with homemade white bread, mashed potatoes, and corn on the cob," They all say in unison.

"I have it quite often, but the meal isn't as good as your's mom," I smiled," Alright lets eat." Everyone filed into the huge dinning room. Mom made the room bigger for everyone to sit comfortably. In total there was 29 people. Grandpa and grandma Bennett, uncle Jeremy and his wife Madison, there kids Katherine and Erin, uncle Cameron and his wife Candice, there kids Jacob, Andrew, and Jean, Grandpa Lexington, uncle Charlie and his wife Rose, their kids Anthony and Lexi, Aunt Caroline and her husband Nicklaus, their kids Beth and Matt, Peter, Ronni, Remus, James, Sirius, Mom, Dad, Alex, Sage, and obviously me. Everyone had a seat, but there was four empty. Mom must have accidentally counted Leo, but who were the other three for.

"Mom there are four extra seats," I said.

"Oh, yes, I figured that you would forget to invite Lily, so I took the liberty and owled her parents about it. They should be arriving very shortly," Mom explained.
