Amazons VS Marauders

Chapter 31: The Party

The doors opened slowly, under the gaze of the impatient teenagers. No one was speaking; the only thing that could be heard was the creaking of the wooden doors. The students immediately got closer, and James Potter was pushed on Lily Evans.

Awkward.

"Sorry, Evans", James said, trying to move away a little bit.

Lily simply smiled, with that Evans bright smile. It was probably one of the reasons James Potter loved her so deeply in the first place.

James still had something for Lily. If he had the occasion to go on a date with her, he wouldn't miss the opportunity, that was for sure. The only thing that had changed was to who his heart belonged. Maybe Lily was still somewhere in his heart, but if, like he believed, his heart belonged to a Slytherin named Holland Cordero, it didn't matter. Holland had the whole control over him.

The students entered the room, and when the door closed, every student from fifth to seventh year was there. Even Severus Snape, the boy who basically never went to parties before. The award of the night, if everything went well for him, was probably enough to make him come.

The Room of Requirements was different than usual. It was heavily decorated, pink and white colors at the honor. On the right side of the room, there was a buffet with hundreds of dessert, including a chocolate fountain and a whole table of cotton candy, and a table with alcohol beside. There would be way enough for the night.

In the middle, there was a scene shaped in a circle. It was quite big, and there was a band on it; The Weird Sisters. They weren't really known yet since they had graduated from Hogwarts a year or two ago, but they had talent. How did The Amazons get the hang of them, that was another mystery.

Every student got in a circle around the stage, not too sure about what they should do. Should they start partying? Or wait for something to happen?

The incertitude didn't last for long. A voice, definitely feminine, had started speaking.

"Welcome, dear students", the voice began.

It seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere. It was at the same time cheerful and mysterious. Everyone had the feeling they had heard it somewhere, yet couldn't tell from where.

As much as this voice was enigmatic, we could still hear the echo of a smirk in her words.

"Here is one of the biggest mysteries of Hogwarts speaking. It is currently 21:06, it is cloudy and the temperature outside is 8 degrees. But you don't care about that, do you?" the voice echoed.

No students spoke.

"Well", the voice chuckled. "You definitely will later. Enough small talk, you're all waiting for the rules of the night. So, let's begin;

You are all here for two reasons. The first one is that you have hope. You have the hope that you, a young student that no one takes seriously because of your young age, found out who are The Amazons. It certainly takes a certain wit, as much as ambition, hard-working and bravery. Every person from each House has a shot. It might be you who figure everything out. It might be your enemy. Who knows?

The second reason is our love to party. This is an equally good reason; if you hadn't notice, we love to party. And we definitely know how to do it. That's right, here is your first clue, lovelies; The Amazons came to each party since the first year, and we even had some parties in our honor without you knowing. You never thought so, right?

Anyway, here is how the night will go. You have two choices: You can stay here and party, with everything at your disposition, or you can go on the trail of the Amazons. It's your choice.
