"Are you kidding me? Who do you think I am? Da Vinci?"
~~
December 16th, 1973
The Quidditch game had just finished. Hufflepuff had lost to Gryffindor. James had scored two goals to the the main circle and three to the other two while Electra three on the main. Their team had caught the snitch and the game had been won. Paul Pevensie was prouder than ever. It was the first time his team had worked so well together and he had to admit that even though Electra and James were making fun during practice when it came to the game they were really absorbed on what they were doing. These two kids according to him could read eachother's mind there was no other explanation. They were passing the quaffle to eachother without even exchanging a glance. Sometimes when he was questioning why did he get Electra in the team he reminded himself of these things and his attitude from pissed off was turning to proud.
The Gryffindor's common room was shaking. Loud music was palying on the background covering the kids' voices. The Gryffindors were dancing all over the room or jumping up and down to the music's beat. They were screaming the lyrics of the songs on top of their lungs and some others were just screaming trying to understand eachother. Confetti was thrown all over the place. Electra was jumping up and down on the sofa with her red and golden hair sparkling with her movements. Sirius was talking with Jessica but sometimes was stopping his words just to sing the chorus of the song. James was singing and dancing along with Electra but having his mind on spotting Lily on the room. Lily was singing with Remus, Peter and Alice Smith sitting near the stairs for the dormitories and eating the sweets the Marauders had sneaked into. They hadn't won the cup or anything but it felt like a big win. Because Hufflepuff had a good team.
"THAT WAS AN AMAZING GAME! WELL DONE!" Lily screamed as she was walking up to the girl with golden highlights and James who earned the first smile from her in two years period.
Sirius as soon as he heard Evans' words turned to look at James who was smiling widely and El who was looking back at him lifting her hands to her heart mouthing it's so romantic. He just smiled and lifted his hand in the air casting the same old spell he had casted two years ago at their very first prank. The firework who escaped his wand's top caught everyone's attention causing them to smile widely at the beauticul colours. This time the firework was a big heart which only the Marauders understood what was it about. Luckily Lily hadn't noticed who was casting the spell.
Unfortunately for the Garyffindors' the door to the common room opened and Flitch made his appearance. Some of the students hid behind the sofa probably because of the fact that they had escaped Flitch's detention. The Marauders stood on their places not moving. They may had gotten into detention from McGonagall but they knew that Flitch's detentions were torturous with the whole meaning of the word. No one had seen Sirius casting the spell apart from Jessica and the Marauders. No one was going to snitch on him.
"This thing ends now. Who was responsible for that sound? Who was behind the firework?"
Silence. No one was talking. The older students weren't even moving. The Marauders really wanted to look at eachother but the were afraid that they were going with this behaviour to show Flitch who was the one behind this.
"Why no one is talking? Do you want me to start putting in detention whoever I want?"
Inside Sirius' head there was a battle going. If Flitch was meaning what he was saying, should he let the others suffer because of him or should he take the blame? It wouldn't be the first time. And if it was for everyone else he wouldn't care much but if he took his friends? He could never forgive himself. On the other hand if he wasn't meaning what he was saying then he would expose himself for no reason. He took a deep breath and started walking towards Flitch."I did it." the boy said when he reached the sofa where James and Electra were.
