The Marauders

"Wait! You have detention right? Sorry for you James," she said. "I heard about it from Cindy. She heard it from Sirius. That's a real bummer! I'm sorry for you!"

"Detention? With who? I forgot..." He said, scratching his head.

"Wait that must have been someone else. Whoops! People have way too much gossip these days. You think so?" asked Lily.

"Uh, suuure..." He said, smirking.

Lily let him rumple his hair for a moment and then speeded down the hall. "Please don't let him follow!" said Lily. It was chases he loved to do that James Potter.

"EVANS!" he whined, following. "I'm tired...."

But he ran nontheless.

Down the corridor she spotted a humped back witch. She slid into the niche behind it. "Whew!" she sighed.

"Lily? Where are you?" He called out, messing his hair up AGAIN. "Evaaaans?"

Lily slowed her breathing as he approached.

Lydia groaned and slid out of the dorms and head towards the library. She stuck to the shadows and slipped behind statues.

James blinked, hoping up on the witch statue to peer down, finding Lily. "There you are!" He siad. He almost feel as he sensed someone walking by. He turned. "Hello? Who's there?"

A sound of footsteps filled the halls.
Suddenly, the small flames from the torches above the group of children went out.

"What is that?" asked Lily.

James jumped slightly. "Come on, Evans. Let's go..." He siad, pulling out his wand.

A coldness came upon them, as it was when a Dementor was near.
The window down the hall swung open, and something went out.
The coldness recided, and the flames brightened.

James saw the dementor, but couldn't believe his eyes. "Come on," He pulled Lily down the hall.

Whispers sounded in the halls....
"Izindu-bêth........"

James looked around. "Who ever is trying to pull a prank, come out now! I'm the Head Boy, either come out or I'll give you a detention....and a few hexxes..." He whispered the last part.

"Lumos!" Her wand tip egnited with light. It pushed the darkness away for the time being.

James did the same, the whole hall now lite up. He glanced around. "I don't see anyone..." He told lily. "Do you?"
