The Marauder Princess

(Raven’s P.O.V.)
Two weeks had passed by and I had finally gotten the guys to except the fact I came from a family of Death Eaters. I jumped the last step of the stairs happy about the fact it was a weekend and that tomorrow was the day we got to go into Hogsmeade. I saw the gang and Lily, who had now confessed she liked James, sitting in their favorite spot by the fire. I walked over smiling and dropped down on the couch next to Remus who gave me a mock glair, he had been reading as usual.

He hated it when I disturbed him, I would take the books from him at times or something else to bother him. I also knew he was still upset at the fact he’d hurt me back on the full moon. I had been able to heal my wound but not make the scars disappear. I had told him several times to get over it that I was fine but I don’t think he ever will.

“So what are we going to do at Hogsmeade tomorrow?” I asked breaking the silence.

“Lily and I are going to shop.” James said smiling.

I looked over at Sirius.

“Uh… Emily and I are going together.” His face went red.

I grinned over at Emily who was sitting in the chair opposite me, and she smiled back. I knew the two of them would eventually get together, how could they not when they flirted all the time with each other.

“Don’t ask me, I’m going with Andrew.” Kelly said from her spot on the floor before I could ask her.

All of us looked at her with wide eyes, “Andrew?”

“Yeah my boyfriend from Ravenclaw.”

“Well I guess that means it’s you and me Moony.” I said putting my arm around his shoulders.

I watched his face go red and he tried to hide it behind his book.

“Guess so.” He mumbled.

I grabbed the book from him, seeing his still red face as he tried to grab it back.

“What you don’t want to go with me?” I asked pouting.

“NO! It’s not that!” he said quickly, “It’s just that uh…”

“It’s just what?” I asked trying to read his face.

“Hey lets go get something to eat.” said James quickly.

“Yeah good idea I’m hungry.” and Remus quickly got up.

I got up and followed the others out. As we headed down the stairs Emily dropped back to walk beside me, a grin on her face that showed off her fangs.

“What?” I asked knowing she was thinking something.

“You like him don’t you?”

I blinked at her for a moment the question not registering; when it did I rolled my eyes.

“Why do you insist on playing match maker?”

“I’m not. It’s not hard to see you like him.” Her smile becoming wider. “He’s just too ditzy to see it. Or he doesn’t want to see it.”

I frowned and looked up to see Remus whispering to James, and I suddenly realized that it was true. It just took a little prodding from this demonic girl for me to see it. Another thing she was right about was that Remus most likely didn’t or didn’t want to like me. This thought didn’t make me very happy; I suddenly didn’t feel so much like eating.

“Well.” Emily prodded.

“You’re right.”

“I knew it!” She screamed making the others look back at us.

“Shut up.” I hissed.

She laughed, “I knew you did! I just knew it!”

I made to slap my hand over her mouth but she was a bit quicker than me and jumped away from me. She continued to shout ‘I knew you did’. I started chasing her down the stairs jumping them two at a time.

(Remus’ P.O.V.)
“Thanks for the save back there.” I whispered to James.

“No problem, but you really should tell her how you feel.”

“What do you mean?” I said giving him a quizzical look.

“That you like her numskull.” Sirius said.

“That obvious huh?” I asked.

“Yeah, mate I wouldn’t doubt that she knows and is waiting for you to say something.”

Suddenly we heard Emily scream from behind us.

“I knew it!”

We turned to look at her and Raven who was standing next to her looking very angry.
“Shut up” I heard Raven say.

Emily just laughed, “I knew you did! I just knew you did!”

Raven tried to silence Emily by putting her hand over her mouth but Emily was too quick and Emily went racing down the stairs yelling all the way. Raven was right on her heals leaving us to wonder what on earth was going on. When we got to the great hall we found the two of them locked in a food fight.

“Uh should we break this up?” Sirius asked.

“Of course.” Kelly said obviously not amused like the rest of us.

Kelly ended the fight by stunning the two, and then she sat down and began eating. We undid the spell as we came over to the table. The two girls thanking us while glaring at Kelly who ignored them, and then they sat down and actually started eating.

“So, what were you two talking about?” Sirius asked Emily.

Emily grinned over at Raven who gave her an If-You-Tell-You’re-Dead look.

“We were talking about who Raven has a crush on.” Emily said her devilish smile widening.

“I’ll kill you if you keep going.” Raven growled.

I acted like I wasn’t interested in the conversation but I was hanging on every word that was said.

“Well tell us who it is.” came James’ excited voice.

I heard Emily chuckle, “It’s not really your business is it.”

Raven who was sitting next to me let out a sigh.

“Come on, It’s not like we’re going to go off and tell the whole school.”

“That’s exactly why we’re not telling you.” Raven muttered.

“Aww come on Princess, we don’t keep secrets from each other.”

“Not anymore anyways.” I added in a whisper.

“Look this is kind of a girl thing. You guys wouldn’t understand.” Kelly said sticking up for Raven.

Both Raven and Emily nodded. The rest of the meal Emily and Raven kept kicking each other under the table, and unfortunately being the one sitting with in range I got kicked a couple times.
