Welcome to Mischief Managed: A Marauders Era Quest. This quest takes place in the Harry Potter universe in the year 1971 and follows our PC’s years through Hogwarts, Tom Riddle’s rise to power, and the First Wizarding War. Book canon will be followed for most things. Every other year will be skipped, for times sake, but only while you’re in Hogwarts. Rolls are best of 3 using a d100.

You walk with Rowan and Severus up to their seat, then leave them as you scan the Ravenclaw table. It’s better to not wait any longer to ask Pandora to the party, seeing how you’ll all be consumed in study soon. You quickly spot her dirty blonde hair at the end of the Ravenclaw table. You notice Rowan and Severus are at least having the decency to act like they aren't watching you. You make your way towards Pandora and suddenly a fear you’ve never felt before grips you. What if she says no? It’s too late, you’re almost to her. Your remaining steps turn into a death march. As you come up to her, your palms feel sweaty and your knees weak. But you steel yourself, calming yourself and taking the nervousness from your face. You go to tap Pandora on the shoulder when she suddenly turns around become you can. She gives you a smile, her grey eyes reminding you of the moon. “Yes, Cyril.” she says to, her smile widening. You find it hard to get words out, your nervousness bubbling up for a second. “I-I was wondering if you’d like to go to Slughorn’s party with me?” you say, your voice thankfully not breaking. There's a silence between you and bit of you dies. She laughs a little as she says, “I already said yes, Cyril.” She shakes her head at you as if you should know that. You can’t help but look a little bit confused. “U-uh okay, great. I guess I’ll talk to you later?” you say, not really knowing what else to say. “Of course!” she says cheerily. You awkwardly shuffle away as Pandora waves you goodbye. You walk back to Severus and Rowan. Taking the spot in the middle of them that they’ve left for you, you talk before they can say anything. “Don’t say anything or I’ll hex your ears off.” you say with your most serious voice. Severus just gives you a smirk, while Rowan makes kissing noises. You punch him in the arm and all he does is life. “I’m the youngest of 5 brothers. Gonna have to do better than that.” he taunts. You roll your eyes. The food arrives perfectly on time and you all become quite, mainly because you’re stuffing your face with food.

Once you’ve all had your fill, you leave for the common room. Severus and Rowan both leave to get ready for bed. You don't have any classes till your exam but studying as much as possible is probably a good idea. Though you do have the entire weekend to do so. You haven't explored the castle in while and you’ve yet to find one of the secret passages.

You follow Rowan and Severus to the dorms. You grab your bath supplies and head to the showers. Shortly after you arrive back, all squeaky clean. You lay down in bed, allowing yourself to drift off for second. Your eyes suddenly snap open as you remember exams. You decide you should study and pick up a book at random. A Beginners Guide to Transfiguration the leather tome reads. You groan; while you get the theory of transfiguration, you have trouble with its practical aspects. It's probably best to study this, since other than herbology it's your worst class. Rowan and Sev join you and you all study as a group. It helps make the studying less dull and they’re able to better explain your mistakes. You all stay up a little later than you mean to, though luckily for you Slytherin First Years have Fridays off, thank Merlin. You pass out sometime around midnight and wake up early morning, your head in a book. Magicing the drool on you book away, you wipe your face and jump out of the day. The last Friday to enjoy before exams and Holidays. You quickly shower and get ready for the day. It looks that Severus has already gone off somewhere, but Rowan still snores lightly, a quill tucked behind his ear and a book on his lap. You can’t help but chuckle a bit.

You think that it's time for Rowan to wake up, so you take out your wand and quietly say “Wingardium Leviosa”. Slowly but surely, Rowan begins to float up, still snoozing away. It isn't until his book slides of his lap does he snap, yelling as he flails around weightlessly. You let out a roar of laughter and he whips his head at you, an annoyed look on his face. “You’re hilarious Selwyn. Now let me down before I hex your ears off, tosser.” he says in a venomous tone, though you know it's all show. You cut off the spell and Rowan suddenly drops to his bed, bouncing on it a couple times before he's still. He gets up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes “So why’d you wake me up so early?” he asks with a yawn. “It's too lovely a day to waste.” you reply sarcastically “Severus isn't here, and I'm gonna go find him. Thought you’d be a bit scared if you woke up all alone.” you say with a grin. Rowan narrows his eyes at you and tells you he’ll be ready shortly, leaving you. You’ll probably be paying for waking him up but you don't really care at the moment. You wait for Rowan in the common room and ten or some minutes after being there, Rowan finally appears. He’s still yawning when you both walk out of the common room. Your really have no idea where Severus could have gone so early, so you both wander the dungeons a little, until it gets too cold. Rowan suggests checking the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall. Usually when Sev isn't with you, he's with Lily.


But to both of your surprise, Lily sits with her friends Alice Rowle and Marley McKinnon. You remember Marley from the train ride to Hogwarts and Alice you’ve been attending the same pure-blood gatherings with since you were a kid. Maybe Severus was sitting with them before he left? You check the Slytherin table, but he isn't there either.

It can't hurt to ask Lily if Sev was already here or if she knows where he might be. It’d certainly help with time, which in turn would allow you to start enjoying your Friday properly. So you walk over to her and her group of friends, Rowan following your lead. When you arrive, you quite annoyed to see the looks of distrust and weariness being given to you by Alice and Marley. Looks like they don't like Slytherins. You ignore them completely; what they think of you doesn't matter much. Lily seems to notice her friends change of attitude and turns, her eyebrows jumping a little in surprise. “Oh, uh, hi Cyril.” she says a bit awkwardly. She straightens up, sticking her chin out a little. “Need something?” she asks in a much more confident tone. You nod your head saying “Yes actually. I’m looking for Sev, seen him?” Her face quickly turns to one of annoyance as she turns to the Slytherin table. Looks like Severus is in the doghouse. “I haven’t seen him, but he left us about 20 minutes ago. Said he had to go meet Lucius for tutoring.” she tells you, saying Lucius’ name as if it's not even worth saying. “Oh.” you say, it being your turn to be awkward. “Well thank for the help Evans.” you say, but Lily just brushes it aside. “No problem.” she replies, turning back to her friends, who look almost stunned that a Gryffindor could have a calm conversation. Only after several steps, Lily turns around, her face slightly red. “When you see him, tell him he's better than this.” she says enigmatically. You keep walking, not sure how to really reply. At least you know that Severus isn't too far. “Where do you think they might be?” Rowan says from your side. You open your mouth to answer, but your brow furrows as you realize Severus could be anyway.

Looks like it's a guessing game. If Lucius is tutoring Sev, they’re probably using a empty classroom or the Library.

“They probably went to the dungeons, lets go check again.” you tell Rowan. He nods in agreement and you both begin walking back. As you past the last painting before the main entrance to the dungeons, you get an idea. You walk back to the painting, a girl with bloody hands standing a field of wheat, and ask if they’ve see either of the boys. She shakes her head slowly, then walks back further into her painting. Well that was no help at all. You return to Rowan and descend into the dungeons. You check the first classroom you come upon, but you have no luck. Your streak carries on for a while, both you and Rowan checking any classroom you come upon. You don't find Severus and Lucius, but you do find several interesting rooms. There's a room that has a chalkboard etched with ancient runes. Another merely has an owl, snoozing away on a post in the middle of the room. One room has desk set up neatly, a single candle burning. Rowan’s favorite is one with a wonderfully comfortable leather sofa. The last one you come upon has a cabinet that occasionally seems to rumble and shake. “Well, what a complete waste of time.” Rowan says with false enthusiasm. You roll your eyes at him. “I'm going to go further investigate that couch. Maybe they’re in between the cushions.” he jokes, walking to the room with the couch. He leaves the door open and you hear him throw himself upon the couch. You turn around, looking down the hall and the parts you’ve yet to search. Where could they be? Your question is answered when you hear faint talking, a little further down the hall. Though that could just be other students. You could go check it out or maybe go look at one or two of the rooms. Some of them were kind of interesting.

Intrigued by the whispers, you walk further down the hall. With each the step, the talking becomes louder. Eventually you can hear two voices cut through the otherwise silent dungeons. “Again” you hear Lucius say, his voice unmistakable. “REDUCTO!” Severus yells, his voice tinged in what sounds like anger. Instantly after Sev yells the spell, you hear the explosion of something wooden. A splinter rolls out from the door several steps in front of you. Welp, looks like you’ve them. Odd of them to practice down here; there's plenty of training rooms near the great hall that students are encouraged to use. You silent take several steps forward so that you stand right by the door. “Excellent Severus. I hadn’t thought a simple curse like this would have been a challenge for you, but you it executed perfectly.” you hear Lucius give praise to Sev. You roll you eyes to yourself. You know this’ll just inflate his already large ego. “Thank you.” Sev says back coolly, easily disguising the happiness you know he feels. You begin to feel odd about just standing there and listening in on their lesson, but maybe you could learn something useful if you just bear that odd feeling a little longer.

You extended your hand out towards the door just a little, but then quickly bring it back. It wouldn’t hurt to listen just a bit longer, would it? You listen intently as Severus continues to train. It goes on for what feels like forever; Sev does the same curse and Lucius repairs the object Severus cursed. You begin to become bored, leaning up against the wall. You perk up when you hear them start conversing again. “You’re very good at this, Severus.” Lucius says. “I will teach you, Severus.” he finishes, trailing off. You hear a sharp intake of breath, probably from Severus. “Thank you Lucius. I only wish that my fa-”, Severus begins, but Lucius cuts him off. “Your mother's sins are not yours. Forget them.” he interrupts cryptically. You realize that you don't know Severus as well as you thought, seeing how you have no clue what Lucius means or exactly Severus was going to say. It sounded almost as if he was going to say father. Severus never talks much about his family for a reason it seems. Whatever it may be, he didn’t want you to know. You’re interested in Lucius’ offer to “teach” Sev and exactly what it entails. You know the curse Severus was practising had to be at least a third year spell. If Lucius is able to teach him that, who knows what else he can help Sev learn. “We will meet every Friday, starting next semester in this room. I will begin teaching you everything you will need to know.” Lucius tells Severus. From his tone, you don’t think Lucius is going to be teaching Sev simple charms and transfigurations. Severus says nothing and after a moment you hear Lucius say “Now, continue.” and the spell fire begins once more. It doesn’t seem like the session is going to be ending anytime soon. You've probably heard as mucha s you’re going to hear, but you never know. It might be worth it to stay a little longer.

Having gained several secrets, you decide to quit before your luck runs out. Reaching out, you firmly rap on the door several times. Soon after, you hear the training cease and footsteps coming towards the door. The door opens, thankfully revealing Severus. Hes usually much easier to deal with than Lucius. Severus seems surprised to see you. It makes sense, you’re not that much of a morning person, especially on days with no class. “Cyril? How’d you find me?” he asks bluntly. For a short moment you panic, but quickly you quell that feeling. “Evans, of course. Said you went off with Lucius for some tutoring.” You say coolly, making sure your smugness comes across. Severus looks at you annoyed. “And exactly what was so important that you had to interrupt me?” he asks.


Shit.
That is a good question. You almost can't come up with a lie when it comes to you, bright as day. Potions. You can't but grin as you tell Severus, “Sorry, but I was wondering if I could have your notes on the the last couple chapters of Potions. To study, obviously.” you ask, making sure to sound genuine. Severus can't help his ego and gives you a sneer. “Of course you need my notes. Sure, they’re inside of my book.” he gloats. He inflates himself a bit and you see Lucius in the back of the room, who seems to be becoming increasingly annoyed. Sev seems to know this as he says, “If that's all, I’ve got to get back to my lesson. Meet me in the Great Hall for lunch.” You nod you head and say your goodbyes. Severus closes the door and you begin to return back to Rowan. You’re glad you were able to come with a reason quickly. Otherwise it’d have bit awkward.
You walk into the room with the couch to find Rowan laying on the couch. He lazily make rings of smoke with his wand. Noticing you, he waves away the smoke from the air and straightens up. “Find him or are you admitting defeat?” he asks, an eyebrow raised. “Found him, actually. Got the okay to use the notes.” you reply and Rowan just nods in reply. He understands how Sev can be with people touching his things, especially his notes, with his permission. “Well,” Rowan says as he pushes himself off the couch and standing up “while you were away, I remembered I told Professor Sprout I would do some greenhouse work for her.” You give Rowan a distasteful look. Who would willing want to herbology work that wasn’t extra credit. “Just because you’re terrible at it and hate it doesn’t mean everyone else does.” He says, rolling his eyes at you. “Anyway, you can come if you’d like” he offers you. True, you could go. Or you could go explore the castle, maybe even study a little.
