CHAPTER 12
The tiny group exchanged glances. The end of the holidays was approaching, and it was time for their annual Holiday prank.
James glanced at his map once more: all was clear. They had long gotten over the shock that their defense teachers weren’t who they claimed to be. A few were debating on confronting the two, but after many heated arguments, they decided not to. When the Professor “Williams” showed his memories, they realized it was a tender topic.
When Sirius saw that there were two Snapes; Liam and Severus, and a different Malfoy; Draco, in the castle for Christmas, he went a bit crazy, and had to be held down while Joe, James, Meg, Remmy, Will, and Lily had to convince him why hexing them all would be a very bad idea. They decided to take away his copy of the Map, for the duration of the year: just to resist the temptation. Today they were lucky that Sirius stopped looking at the Map, along with a group of others, a Severus Black-Lupin-Snape, appeared. "Siri woul’da shat a brick," James thought to himself. "nonethe less… I almost did.” He shuddered to himself at the memory.
But, they had a plan to do, and James forcefully dragged his thoughts back to the present. Everyone from the visiting group was in the RoR again, and it was decided that it was the perfect time to strike.
Glancing around at the group of people surrounding him, James was forced to remember the past few years. There had been two groups, the Maurders, and the “Shadow Trio” as the Slytherin group was called. With the introduction of Lily, into the group of Gryffs, she brought the Snake trio. Much to the exasperation of the students and faculty.
Nodding the all clear, the group stealthy moved out. Quickly making their way to the Professor’s rooms, he frequently glanced at the map to make sure everything was clear. Reaching the wall, the group stopped again, and James peered at the map, hoping the password would pop-up. A few seconds later, it did. James nodded to the group, and they spread out, covering the hallways, and providing backup.
Approaching the wall, cautiously, James whispered the password. No one made a sound, all holding their breath, praying the door would open with out a sound. A muted rumble finally echoed down the passageway, as the wall peeled away, and a door appeared.
James sighed silently in relief, but the compulsion spell was so subtly, it was unnoticed. As he approached the door, he didn’t wait to see what was happing on the map, he needed to touch the door. The spell lifted as soon as he touched the knob, and along with it, the knowledge that he was stuck, paralyzed and missing a mouth. Mentally screaming and cursing, he tried to frantically get the attention of one of his friends. Finally, Lily turned, and being the closest, she turned to help James.
The spell drew her in too. She never noticed James’ frantic eyes, trying to warn her away as she drew closer and closer to the door. Wonderingly, she raised her hand and touched the wood next to the immobile boy.
“Let him go, please.” She muttered to the life she could feel in the wood. To the amazement of the others, who had finally realized that something was wrong, the door released James, causing him to fall onto his back. Siri and Remmy rushed forward to grab their friends’ prone body. As they pulled him away, the wall moved back into place with a grumbling rumble… if walls could grumble of course.
Once safe in the hidden passage, questions flew from every direction.
“What? Lils… how?”
The frantic questioning continued, until they realized that the two weren’t responding.
“Bloody Fuck!” The muffled curse broke the tense silence that enveloped the group. Meg and Joe were kneeling next to James’ prone form. “We can’t heal this.”
“You sure? You two are some of the best healers in school.”
“Sorry.” They looked apologetic. Joe went to check on Lily as Meg faced off the rest of the group. “Look. We can either go to the nurse, or get the Professors to come back and heal him.”
The worried looks exchanged masked the subtly flinch Meg made, as a reaction to Joe’s mental swearing echoed throughout her head. Years of experience however, had taught her how to hold two conversations at once.
'Meg, get the professors now!'
'What happened?' She asked her twin, as she tried to get the rest of the group’s attention. “SHUT UP!”
'She’s preggers!'
“Remmy, you an' Siri go get the professors. Pete, run to the dorms, an' grab my bag... MOVE!” The three boys raced out the door, one did not ignore Megan Palleschi, and when she yelled, you tended to obey even faster. She looked up at Will, and started to open her mouth, before he beat her to it.
“I’ll go get Sev.” Proving once again, that he was a Slytherin.
Meg just nodded gratefully as she went to join her twin kneeling beside Lily.
