Malfoy Comes To Visit
He ran outside, ignoring the remarks by her mother, “Sirius where are you going? Breakfast is ready!”
He climbed over the wall in the back garden, like he had done earlier and when he dropped down he fell right onto James who was obviously about to climb over from the other side.
“James!” Sirius said, “sorry for not believing you!”
“You should be!” James mumbled getting to his feet.
“I guess this means we’re going to the same school.” Sirius remarked, “Oh-and I’m sorry about calling you a rich snob and all that, really, I was just-erm-a bit agitated.”
James smiled, “That’s alright.”
“Friends then?” Sirius asked.
“Friends.”
“Awwwww. Isn’t that nice.” Sneered a voice behind them, “Muggle and Potty reunion.” It was Malfoy accompanied by two other boys who looked just as slimy and nasty.
“Who are you?” Said Sirius, narrowing his eyes.
“Lucius Malfoy.” Said the blonde boy, “and these are my friends Azoth and Severus.”
James let out a short laugh, “Blimey you have friends? How much are you paying them to stay that way Malfoy?”
Malfoy sneered at him, “You better shut it, Potter, or I’ll show you what my wand is capable of.”
Sirius had had quite enough of these gits, “You weirdos better leave or you’ll see my fist connect with your slimy head!”
“That’s enough out of you, muggle.” Jeered Severus, putting his hand into his pocket, but his face seemed to look troubled as he pulled his hand out with nothing to show.
“And what’s a muggle, may I ask?” Sirius shot back.
“It’s what you are a filthy non-magic person.” Malfoy said.
“Well that’s where your wrong you great ugly git!” Said James pulling Sirius’ arm and edging towards the back door.
“How so?”
“He’s been upgraded. He got a letter from Hogwarts so that’s where you’re wrong.” James remarked.
“Oh, so now he’d a dirty mudblood.” Jeered Severus.
James didn’t like this Severus and resisting from punching him to a pulp he dragged Sirius through the back door before Malfoy jinxed them.
Sirius was quite bewildered as James locked the door behind him and led him through the many rooms. James was looking for some defence, but as he didn’t own a wand he felt slightly helpless.
“They won’t be able to get in will they?” Asked Sirius, not knowing what wands were capable of.
“If they know the right incantation they will.” James said, burrowing through a drawer for some Zonko’s merchandise.
“Isn’t your parents or someone in?” Sirius said looking around.
“No.”
“Oh,” Sirius said and looked towards the back door where he could hear some sort of argument, he crept closer as James was busy finding some things.
“How could you loose it!” he could hear the boy called Lucius say.
Then he heard another voice, which sounded like Severus’ “You should never trust Karkaroff with handling spell books.”
“You can talk.” Said another voice, which must have been Karkaoff’s, “you dropped Lupin’s wand.”
Sirius turned when he heard James call from the other room.
“Keep away from the door, they could try anything.” James shouted across to him.
“I think it’s alright.” Said Sirius, “They’re having some kind of argument.”
“Don’t be too sure.” Said James as he heard a window opening.
“Those creeps! I’m going to give them a fistful of this.” Sirius held up his clenched fist.
“No!” James held him back, “I have a better idea, come on.”
James led him up a narrow staircase and quickly discussed his plan.
Upstairs, on the first floor, James showed Sirius some firecrackers and a box full of ‘Filibusters Wet start, No heat Fireworks’.
Quietly they placed their weapons secretly between the bar railings along the ledge which looked down onto the Main Hall in the Potter Mansion.
Both of them then hid behind two statues of a stag and a man (which looked suspiciously like James’ father).
James planned this specially and just had he had personally thought, the three greasy-haired kids crept into the hall.
“Come out Potter!” Shouted Malfoy, “You worthless cowards!”
All three of them chuckled evilly.
“You can’t hide forever!” Said the boy James’ knew as Severus.
James took a deep breath and jumped out from behind the statue of the stag.
“You know,” James said catching the three boys unexpected, “this is private property! And you’re breaking and entering.”
Malfoy raised his wand.
James quickly whispered something to Sirius and he nodded.
“Relashio!” Lucius shouted and a flash of red light shot out from the end of his wand.
James grinned slightly as he quickly raised a mirror in front of him as a shield.
The red beam hit the mirror and bounced back towards Malfoy, who’s face changed from an evil smirk to a shocked whimper.
Malfoy, thinking fast pushed Karkaroff in front of the target line and the red beam hit Karkaroff right into the face.
Karkaroff started to howl in agony as a horrible itchy rash spread across his pale face.
James, who was still grinning cheekily, tilted the large mirror in Karkaroff’s line of sight.
Then Karkaroff wailed and ran around the room pulling at Malfoy and Snape’s robes and screaming for the counter curse.
“What a baby.” Sirius muttered as he slowly edged his way out from behind the other statue of Mr Potter.
“Ok, Sirius.” James said, while Malfoy was doing the counter curse on Karkaroff. “Ready with the matches? And I’ve got the water.”
“Yep.”
Lucius turned back towards James and Sirius, “You’re gonna pay for that!”
“Oh really?” Said James and ran along the railing sprinkling water over the Filibuster Fireworks. Sirius was also setting the firecrackers alight.
“Uh-oh.” Severus said and ducked wisely behind a suit of armour.
“Surprise!” Sirius shouted and legged it across the first floor corridors along with James as sparks and fireworks set off all around the Main Hall.
“Quick!” James yelled. “Into the lounge before they follow us.”
They both ran through another hallway grinning as the images of Snape, Malfoy and that other wizard, Karkaroff formed in their mind and the expressions of horror their faces showed when they saw the rockets and sparks shooting towards them.
They could hear some angry yelling from somewhere far of in the mansion, but they ignored it and kept on running.
They were running so fast that they couldn’t avoid bumping into two other boys who just materialised through the living room fireplace, covered from head to toe in soot.
Remus landed onto the floor along with Peter and two other boys he didn’t know and they stayed there for a few minutes in a tangled heap.
“Ow.” Remus muttered, scrambling to his feet and whipping his wand out.
The two boys he didn’t know had black hair, one of them with glasses and messy hair and the other had neat hair.
Peter was the last to get to his feet and he was complaining a lot more than there was needed.
“Who are you?” Remus and Peter said.
“I should be telling you the same thing.” Said the boy with glasses.
“I’m Remus Lupin and this is Peter Pettigrew. And if your friends of Snape or Lucius back away or I’ll hex you.”
The two boys laughed, “Us friends of those creeps? Get out of it!”
“I’m Sirius Black.” The neat black haired boy said.
“James Potter,” Said the other, “and this is my house and you’re trespassing.”
Remus felt confused, “You mean this isn’t Malfoy Manor?”
Peter didn’t say anything he just kept quiet.
“No,” James looked rather disgusted. “This is Potter Mansion and far better than that slime ball’s place.”
“Oh.” Remus pacified, comprehension surfacing as he realised that they mustn’t have spoken clearly enough when they used the Floo Network.
“There they are!”
Peter looked up. He saw those three nasty creeps and trembled.
James and Sirius turned around and Remus held up his wand again.
“I see Loopy and Rat-face has decided to join the party.” Lucius Malfoy sneered, holding out his wand.
The three sallow faced wizards blocked the doorway, which was the only way out.
They looked a wreck, robes smoking and scorched, faces smothered with black ash and their hair was stuck up in odd angles.
Sirius snorted with laughter and then James joined in, followed by Remus (who kept his arm steady with his hand tightly wrapped around his wand). Peter was shaking at the back with apparent fear.
The sight of the three smoking creeps made him even more nervous and made them (to him) for frightening.
“Remus.” Hissed James urgently. “Lend me your wand, I know some good hex’s.”
Snape and Karkaroff seemed to be holding some firecrackers and they looking pretty pleased about it.
“Snape,” Malfoy murmured, “you take muggle boy and Karkaroff, you take Loopy. I’ll deal with Potter.”
Peter hid behind the couch; obviously he didn’t want to get involved.
Sirius clenched his fists tightly as Snape advanced towards him holding out some firecrackers.
“Would you like a taste of your own medicine?” Snape said holding out the firecrackers.
Sirius backed into the wall looking over to James and Remus who were currently occupied.
“Didn’t your mother ever tell you ‘never play with what you can’t handle’?” Sirius replied staring at Snape’s singed cloak.
Remus tripped over a small oak table as Karkaroff threw a lit firecracker over his head.
“Missed,” said Remus reaching behind him and picking up the still lit firecracker. “Maybe you should be more accurate next time.” He threw the firecracker at his opponent’s head just as it was going to blow. “You know, like the essential things; timing, aiming and ducking.”
“What’s the matter, Potter?” Smirked Malfoy, “Afraid to do a little duelling?”
James clenched his teeth holding Remus’ wand out in front of him.
“Incendio!” Cried Lucius pointing his wand at James’ robes.
James, wide eyed, dodged the red beam quickly and was relieved that the sparks hit the fireplace not the furniture.
“You pillock! You could of done serious damage!” James shouted.
“I’m just getting revenge, Potter!” Malfoy said.
“Well you’re going too far!”
James quickly racked his brain for a hex or something to disarm the nasty blond freak.
Suddenly having an idea he held up his wand and at the same time Malfoy did also.
Simultaneously, they shouted “Locomoto mortis!” and “Rictusempra!” Though both their spells shot into one another and ricocheted into Snape and Karkaroff. Causing Snape to fall to the ground, as his legs were locked together. Karkaroff was also on the floor, but with his hands over his stomach, laughing non-stop.
“Potter! You! Tarantallegra!” Malfoy shouted.
“Densaugeo!” James shouted at the same time.
And the same thing happened again thought this time the sparks ricocheted into Remus and Sirius who at the time were throwing the remaining firecrackers at the helpless Snape and Karkaroff.
“Wow!” Sirius cried as the dancing spell, hit him. Causing him to loose control over his legs as they jerked all over the place.
James turned around for a brief second to catch Remus holding his jaw with both hands, trying to stop his front teeth from poking through.
James sighed, quickly switching round to Malfoy again.
“Enough of this!” James cried. “Go home!”
Malfoy smirked. “No! Not now I’m winning.”
“Nobody’s winning.” James pointed out.
“Not yet.” Malfoy said, holding out his wand yet again.
Sirius suddenly knocked Malfoy over as he came strutting through.
“James!” Sirius gasped, trying to control his legs with his hands. “Stop! Help me stop this! Please!”
James laughed looking down at the unconscious Lucius Malfoy on the floor.
“OK, but let me tie up Snape and Karkaroff first.” James said. Producing some binds from Remus’ wand.
“Hurry up!” Peter squeaked from the other side of the room. “Remus’ front teeth won’t stop growing.”
James quickly tied all three-defeated nemesis’, Karkaroff this laughing like he’s never laughed before.
“We’re gonna get you back big-time for this!” Snape growled.
“Haha! I’d like to see you try!” Sirius shouted still dancing round the room.
James held out Remus’ wand to the ceiling, feeling a bit shameful for Remus as he front teeth were now inching down to his chest.
“Finite Incantatem!” James shouted, the ghastly laughter stopped, the patter of feet stopped and the moaning of Remus stopped also.
“Ok!” James said, rubbing his hands together, “let’s send these creeps back to where they were.”
Throwing some powder in the fireplace, James looked over to Sirius and Remus who were shoving the tied up wizards towards the fireplace.
“Will you do the honours, Peter?” Remus said.
“To the Leaky Cauldron!” Peter shouted.
Smiling, Sirius and Remus pushed the wizards through; Snape with an angry scowl, Karkaroff with a sallow exhaustion from laughing so much and Malfoy who was knocked out, but on his face James had taken the liberty of writing “LOSER!” on his forehead.
When the fire went out James turned to the three boys.
“Well, I’d love to see all those astonished faces in the Leaky Cauldron when they see those three helplessly tied up “LOSER!”’s written all over their faces.”
They all laughed then stopped as they heard the creak of the front door and then the screaming that came after it.
“JAMES POTTER, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO THE HOUSE?!!!!”
James looked around him, the place was a wreck, and he was only in the living room, the Main Hall was obviously gonna look like a destruction zone with scorched walls and broken vases and statues after the firecrackers.
“Uh-oh.” All four of them murmured.
James slumped his shoulders as Remus and Peter quickly said goodbye and leapt into the fireplace.
Sirius crept out into the hallway, James following.
“You know your parents are gonna kill you when they find you.” Sirius whispered as they took a secret route to the back garden.
“When they find me that is.” James smirked heading outdoors. “I suppose this is what I get when Malfoy comes to visit.”
