The Trouble with Time Chapter 1 Fred and George visit the Marauders

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

That evening after a rousing dinner in the Great Hall, where Fred and George help James, Sirius and Remus make different food appear suddenly to other students to smack them in the face, leaving them sitting in horror, while the six boys snickered happily. They also introduced their other creations Canary crème’s while in the common room. They handed out several canary creams to unsuspecting Gryffindor students. The marauders loved it.  It was not long before the hall was filled with yellow feathers all over the floor, table and other students. They also handed out a few fake wands which the other boys happily dueled each other with their rubber chickens, pink pigs and long hairy spiders. That was for their brother Ron.

They then set the eggs into the feathers to leap out and hit who ever uncovered them. They watched as Filch came storming into the Great Hall kicking a hidden egg. It leaped up splattering him all over his face. The boys roared with laughter. They were very glad the teachers were done eating and had left the hall earlier. They laughed even harder as Filch kicked several more eggs all attacking him. They hurried from the hall before Filch could get up and blame them even though they had done it they didn’t want the blame for it.

The six young men George, Fred, James, Sirius, Remus and Peter all left the common room heading for Slughorn’s office and the evening Slug Club party he was having. Fred and George were still wearing their bunny slippers since they had not returned to get their tennis shoes.

“Where is Evans?” James asked since it was just the six guys walking down the halls.

“She told us at dinner she’d meet us there,” Fred told him; he didn’t mention to Lily that he was bringing the Marauders with him for the little party there.

They had made it about halfway to the office where the party was to be held when they saw her walking along ahead of them.

“Hey Evans,” James called to her as he spotted her thick dark red hair down the hall.

Lily turned to see James waving to her with his friends and the two oddball twins that had turned up this morning.

“Hello Potter, Remus, Sirius, Peter.” Lily said politely to them.

“Hello Fred and George, are you ready for the party?” Lily asked with more animation in her voice.

“Sure am beautiful,” Fred told her happily slipping his arm around her shoulder she smiled cutely at them.

“Always ready for a party with beautiful girls,” George told her smiling goofy like as he watched her eyes sparkle with happiness.

“Great let’s get going,” Lily turned to look at the others, “See ya later guys,”

“Uh we’re going too,” James told her giving a dirty look to Fred, who quickly removed his arm from her shoulder she looked at James in surprise,

 “Really?”

“Yeah Sluggy said if you come to my party Lily you can invite all the people you want, and you know you want me,” James grinned at her wiggling his eyebrows up and down at her.

Lily laughed hard at this, she couldn’t help it he was quite comical.

“Fine but you four, especially you two,” Lily pointed to James and Sirius, “Behave yourself, I don’t want you fighting with Sev,”

James looked put out at the thought of not hexing Snape, the four boys grudgingly agreed to behave themselves.

“Does that mean my brother and I can have a spot of fun with Prof… Snape?”

Lily arched an eyebrow at him,

“I think not, I’d like to think two boys here are not going to be horribly influenced by these lugs,” Lily pointed at the four of them with her thumb.
