CHAPTER 3 – FOURTH YEAR GOES BY
Not much of action or romance took place during the fourth year of their school. Things were pretty much the normal school life. The marauders were as usual the entertainers and got their back at the Slytherins once to many times. James and Sirius found themselves more popular than ever and enjoyed the attention they were getting from the girls. This made James more arrogant than ever and their pranks started increasing, each one more intense and complicated than the other, bringing humiliation to the Slytherins and laughs to the other houses. Their pranks were more successful due to the marauder's map which they had formed that year after a long amount of research.
Lily did not approve of their pranks as they harassed the Slytherins at all the opportunities they got. She thought that they were played out of bigotry. She did not understand the rivalry between Gryffindor and Slytherin. She was taking school more seriously than before, though she had her own amount of fun. She read more and more in the papers about the growing power of Voldemort.
People were beginning to get scared to even say his name and the newspapers and magazines started referring to him as You-Know-Who or He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. His ideas of depleting the world of muggleborns and making fun of the muggles taking advantage of magic seemed to be appealing to many, especially the Slytherins. His followers started to call themselves the Death Eaters and most of their identity was unknown. They left their mark above all killings. It came to be referred as the Dark Mark and it was a skull with a snake coming out of its mouth. Lily had her mind set on becoming an auror more and more as she read about these killings.
The Slytherins seemed to idolize him and they started to target all the muggleborns to make fun of them. The marauders, especially James and Sirius were infuriated by this and their pranks became more humiliating. The Slytherins swore to take revenge. The fellow Gryffindors and the various 'fans' of the marauders started teaming up with the marauders against the Slytherins. Sirius had a personal grudge against the Slytherins as he hated his family for being so narrow-minded. The moment his family found out that he was in Gryffindor, they lost all hopes for him and shunned him to one side. He wanted to get back at his family for all the times they had mocked at him and Gryffindors. The rivalry, Sirius guessed, had been going on between the two houses for generations.
One such prank pulled by the Marauders during the end of the year feast brought out laughs from all the students and the staff, except even Lily who refused to comment on it when asked further. Sirius sneaked into the school kitchens and told the school elves to pour a potion into the food kept for the Slytherins and handed them a bottle. It was a Confudous Potion. During dinner –
"Just wait…"whispered Sirius to Monica who was sitting next to him and grinning. He had told her what the marauders had done and she was looking forward to it. She knew that Lily did not like them playing tricks. Though she also agreed with lily that their tricks were mainly acts of bullying the Slytherins, this one seemed to be promising. Lily saw the marauders grinning from ear to ear and knew that they were up to something. The whole of Gryffindor house knew that and they were waiting with bated breath. She frowned at Monica who was also grinning next to Sirius.
"Why is it taking so long?" whispered Erica impatiently to James.
"Let them finish eating…the potion is not so strong." Replied Remus. Curiosity overtook her and she said,
"What is this trick about?"
"Only the true supporters will know about it. Others will just have to wait and watch." said James. Lily stuck her tongue out childishly at him and sulked throughout dinner. Being across the table from her he noticed it and suppressed an urge to grin back at her.
She looks so cute, thought James, What did I just think??? No way!!! She is so insufferable. She thinks that I am arrogant. She just cant stand all the attention that I am getting from the girls. Just because I get dates every other week and she does not she says that I am a major flirt who can't get into a serious relationship. And I have not seen her with a date at all this entire year… in spite of the fact that she looks cute when she is angry…
His thoughts were cut short by a whistle from the Slytherin table. All heads from the other tables turned towards them. Rudolphus Lestrange was standing on his chair.
"Go Britain Go! Go Britain Go!!! England for the Cup!!!! Ireland is going down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" HE started clapping his hands and cheering for England thinking he was witnessing the world cup.
Bellatrix got up and walked over to Narcissa and whispered something in her ear. They both got up on the table and started tap dancing in sync. Snape stood up from his place and started singing the Hogwarts coir. He was joined by Matt Crabbe and David Goyle. Their voices were not even in tune. Bellatrix and Narcissa started tap dancing to the choir. By this time the Gryffindors could not contain their laughter. Lily was also laughing. She could not help herself as they were hilarious. Lucius Malfoy started cheering for Ireland against Britain and he and Lestrange were cheering even louder to drown each other out. More Slytherins had joined in the coir and in the cheers. Two girls whose names James did not know had started opera singing.
James could not stop laughing this time and most of the people were rolling over in the ground. He surfaced to catch his breath and to his surprise saw that Lily was laughing. The last time she had laughed to one of their jokes was in their 3rd year when he had made Snape sing a ballad about Professor Dumbledore in the middle of their history of magic class. After that she had said that they targeted on humiliating the Slytherins and when he had started hexing them in the corridors she said that it was becoming more of a battle. He stared at her without even realizing what he was doing. He thought she looked very pretty when she was laughing. She looked up at him and said, "James, this is the best prank you marauders have come up with… and I am so glad u came up with this before the year ended. We all do need this laugh after the tension of exams. I wish you would come up with more generalized tricks like this rather than bullying the Slytherins in the middle of the corridor just because you can."
James was smiling back at her admiring the way her emerald green eyes sparkled. Funny, I never noticed this before, thought James. She had actually smiled at him and called him James. He was still reeling from the shock when he heard the school coir being finished with a loud, off-note mourning tone. He again burst out laughing. He joined the others, his thoughts of the previous moments forgotten.
The teachers on the table were wiping their tears of laughter and no teacher made a move to stop them. Dumbledore was smiling at the whole hall with pleasure.
Sirius and Monica were clutching each other trying to support themselves on each other. Each time they caught their breath the sounds from the Slytherin tables set them off again. They laughed so much that Monica got a stitch in her stomach. She held on to her stomach willing herself to stop laughing. She took in huge gulps of air and supported herself against Sirius' chest which was vibrating as he himself was laughing. He put an arm around her unknowingly and she started laughing as Sirius' laughter was infectious. Monica suddenly became aware of the fact that Sirius was holding her. She looked up at him to find out whether he had noticed it or not. He was looking the other way but his arm seemed to circle around her more tightly. Sirius suddenly became aware of what he was doing and looked down at her face. He lost himself in her deep black eyes. His sapphire eyes held the gaze and a magical feeling seemed to arise within both of them. He lifted his other hand and pushed back her wavy black hair behind her ears. She felt a tingling feeling pass through her. What would have happened after that nobody knew for James slapped him on his back still laughing. Sirius let go of Monica guiltily. She blushed and looked around hoping that no one had noticed it. She noticed a few girls throwing her deadly glares and felt really uncomfortable.
"Sirius mate wasn't that the best we ever did?"
"Bloody hell it was!"
Once the teachers had stopped laughing and restored the Slytherins back to their old form, Dumbledore stood up to make the end of the year speech.
"We have reached another end to this year. I see that some of our students have given us all a reason to laugh amidst all the tension going around due to the rise of a certain wizard namely Lord Voldemort. Before I go on to talk about that, I must congratulate the people who have provided us with an entertainment to remember this year by –"
All heads turned to the Marauders who were grinning in triumph. The Slytherins glared at James who cheekily gave them thumbs-up. Sirius got up and said – "the credit also goes to the Slytherins who co-operated…" The hall burst out laughing as Dumbledore cleared his throat for silence. All heads turned towards him once more.
"I would also like you to note that the rise of this wizard is a danger to all of us sitting here. At times of danger like this all I advise is co-operation and unity. I wish u all happy and safe holidays and I hope to see you next year."
*~*
They all got into the train. Sirius and James were the first few to get in behind Lily and her friends. They got into a cabin and closed the door behind them while James and Remus ushered Sirius into the opposite compartment. Sirius gave the girl's cabin a reproachful look before sitting down. He seemed off mood for some time.
"Sirius, mate, what happened? Why are you so quiet?" asked James.
"Forget it man!" he replied looking at the door once more.
"Sirius Black!" said James sternly.
"Alright! It is… umm … well …"
"It is Monica isn't it?" asked Remus from his side grinning at him. Sirius blushed but did not deny it.
"Is it true? You and … MONICA?" asked James, almost screaming with surprise.
"Shhh… keep it down…" James folded his hands and looked at Sirius asking for an explanation.
"Well… I kind of…"
"Kind of?" asked Remus smiling at Sirius with raised eyebrows.
"All right! I like Monica okay… just forget about it…"
"Whoa! Usually it is girls who go bonkers about our Sirius here, now Sirius actually likes someone and we should just forget it?" asked James now grinning. Sirius blushed once more.
"How did you know?" asked Sirius to Remus.
"I saw what happened at the end of the year feat." Sirius blushed once again.
"What happened?" asked James, his curiosity aroused.
"Our mate Sirius here was found sharing a hug with Monica when we were all busy laughing at the Slytherins." smirked Remus.
"We were not exactly 'sharing a hug' as you put it. We both were laughing really hard and as I was sitting next to her she held on to me for support."
"That still doesn't explain the way you were looking at her after you guiltily broke off."
"Okay… I like her. But how do I know if she likes me too?"
"Simple… You ask her." Sirius gave James a look.
The door of the compartment slid open as Monica poked her head in.
"Hi everybody, hi Sirius." James noticed her cheeks flush as she said Sirius' name.
"Hi Monica. What is the matter?"
"Oh! Umm… I was wondering…Lily… I mean … I was…wondering…if…umm…you people wanted to join us…in our cabin…"
"Sure!" replied Sirius instantly. The others stared at him and Monica blushed. They all got up and followed her into their cabin. Sirius looked happy and so did Monica. They sat down next to each other ignoring the looks they got from their friends.
They all started talking and did not notice the time go by. Even Lily seemed a little friendly towards James. James noticed it and felt a weird feeling of joy inside him which he could not reason with. It was probably because she approved of his prank the day before as it was not personal and mean. They reached the station before they knew it.
"Time sure flies fast when you are having fun!"
"That is the power of the marauders." grinned James.
"Don't take that comment of mine too much to heart Potter!" retorted Lily a little bit irritated.
"Where are you going to stay Lily?" asked Remus when they were getting down.
"I have a house which my parents have given me so I will go there and stay for a few days and then I will go over to stay with Monica."
They all said their goodbyes and went their own ways. Little did they know that they were going to be meeting much sooner than they expected to.
