Sanderson House
James, Sirius and Remus tried to get their wands back from Lucius but they never did. James and Sirius had many ideas but without wands, they didn’t work. Before now, they never realized how much they use their wands or need it throughout the day. They could have told a professor and asĸ for help but then they’ll have to say they tried to prank Lucius Malfoy. On the list, telling a professor will be plan Z.
‘’Did you guys really have your wands taken away?’’ Peter asked. It was dinner time and everyone was in the great hall. ‘’Not taken away, they were stolen. Prefects ain’t allowed to take away students wands.’’ Remus said. ‘’Can’t you just tell a professor?’’ Lily asked. ‘’They’ll be in trouble.’’ Severus said, quite happy. He enjoyed it when the Marauders got in trouble. ‘’If anyone will be in trouble, it will be that Slytherin prefect of yours. Taking other students' wands is against the rules.’’ Sirius said. ‘’Since when did you care about rules?’’ Severus. ‘’Why are you even here? This is Gryffindors table.’’ Said James. "Doesn't mean only Gryffindors are allowed to sit here.’’ Severus said. ‘’It does!’’ James said. ‘’James, drop it. He’s not worth it.’’ Remus said. ‘’Snivellus ain’t worth anything.’’ Sirius said. Ignoring the judgemental glares he got from Lily and Severus.
Against James and Sirius' will, Remus had managed to get them to the library to work on their assignment. ‘’Why are we doing this instead of trying to get our wands back from Malfoy?’’ Sirius asked. ‘’Because the faster we finish this assignment, the better’’ Remus said as he took four books about the Sanderson sisters. And a good wizard trusts his mind, not his magic. We’ve been a little to depended on our magic the last days.’’ Remus said and gave one of the books to Sirius.’’We’re at Hogwarts, we’re supposed to use magic.’’ Sirius said and began to read the book.
James stared out the window before speaking. ‘’I want to see the house.’’ James said, almost making Sirius laugh. ‘’Teased Snivellus for wanting to go there, and now he’s going himself. How hypocritical.’’ Sirius said. ‘’What place has more information about the Sanderson sisters than the very house they lived in?’’ James asked. ‘’James, the Sanderson house is in Godric’s Hollow, we’re not allowed to go that far during school days.’’ Remus said. ‘’Then we’ll just leave without telling anyone.’’ Said James. ‘’Sneaking away. James, can’t do that.’’ Remus said. ‘’Remus, imagined everything we can learn. Imagine all the history from 300 years ago.’’ Sirius said. Remus had to admit, that was tempting. ‘’One quick visit, and then we leave.’’ Remus said. ‘’Deal.’’ James and Sirius said.
The trio used floo powder to teleport to Godrick’s hollow. They ended up in a bookshop. They quickly walked out and made their way to the house. It was easy to find since people have been taking down the woods to make more houses. The Sanderson house that once was deep into the woods was now at the edge of it. ‘’People believe the victims of the Sanderson sisters were buried in the walls.’’ Remus said as they walked to the front door. ‘’Well, that’s not cruel at all.’’ Sirius said sarcastically. James tried to open the door, but it was locked wirth a modern lock. He was about to use Alohomora when he remembered, he didn’t have his wand. ‘’Anyone have anything we can use?’’ James asked. Sirius looked down at the ground and picked up a hairpin. ‘’Thanks.’’ James said, and began to pick the lock. The door opened and the trio walked inside of the dark house. ‘’It’s very dark. Wish we had our wands.’’ James said. ‘’The lock was modern, they must have added a lightswitch as well.’’ Remus said and looked around for a lightswitch. Sirius stumbled over something. He knelt down to see it was a lighter. They don’t use them in the wizarding world, but he has seen muggle-borns at Hogwarts use them. ‘’Found a lighter.’’ Sirius said. The lights turned on. ‘’Found the lightswitch.’’ Remus said. "Whoa." James said and looked around the house. It was an exciting sight. ingredients all around. The brooms hanging on the wall. And in the middle of the room, the cauldron. The trio looked around the house. Sirius looked at a book under a glass chamber. ‘’That’s the spellbook of Winnifred Sanderson. People believe it was given to her by the devil himself.’’ Remus said. ‘’Sources to all evil spells. I know.’’ Sirius said. ‘’Some of the spells in there isn’t allowed to be used anymore.’’ Remus said. ‘’It's fascinating how much magic have changed through the years.’’ James said. Sirius noticed a candle. ‘’Is that the candle?’’ Sirius asked. ‘’The Black Flame Candle.’’ Remus said. Sirius walked to it. ‘’Black Flame Candle. Made of fat of a hanged man. Lit by a virgin on Hallow’s eve and it will raise spirits from the dead.’’ Sirius read. Sirius found the lighter. ‘’Let’s light this thing and meet the old broads.’’ Sirius said. ‘’Don’t light it, Sirius.’’ Remus said. ‘’Nothing will actually happen. Sandersons is just one of those stories teaching kids to keep away from bad things.’’ Sirius. ‘’I’m not so sure. Sandersons sisters is originally a muggle legend.’’ James said. ‘’And legend for muggles are often reality for witches and wizards.’’ Remus said. ‘’Well, well, if you won’t do i–’’ Before Sirius had a chance to light it, a black cat jumped on him. Sirius threw the cat on the ground. ‘’Stupid cat!’’ Sirius said. ‘’Ok, we’ve seen enough, let’s go back.’’ Remus said. ‘’Come on, nothing bad will happen. See?’’ Sirius said and lit the candle. ‘’Don’t!’’ Remus shouted but it was already too late.
The flame quickly turned black and all the light went out. A wind appeared inside the house and green light was under the floor as it began to shake. Suddenly, it all came to a stop. ‘’Sirius, don’t lit more candles, you virgin.’’ James said jokingly. Sirius laughed. James will not let that joke go for a long time. Sirius laughs fast and dies down as all the other candles begin lighting by themselves. Even the fire under the cauldron. The trio looked anxiously at the flames. And then they heard it.
A maniac laugh belonging to a woman. James hid behind the door, while Remus hid under the stairs. When the door opened, Sirius hid under the nearest table. Though he didn’t watch for long, he managed to see who it was who opened the door.
Sanderson sisters.
