Chapter One - Steph Loves to Snog and a Fool who feels Nothing
'Sirius is in the house!'
'Back to Hoggywarts we go!'
'I can't believe it's almost over...'
'PRANK TIME!'
The Marauders were all goofs. That is putting it lightly. Sirius, the ditzy one. Peter, the confused one. Remus, the smart one. James, the athletic one. James the athletic one. James the athletic one. James, the athletic one. Oh, and James, the heartthrob.
Lily, Steph, Michelle, and Dallas were not goofs. Well, most of them. Steph was a goof. But Michelle was the smart one. Dallas, the athletic one. Lily, the heartthrob. Do we see a bit of a pattern here?
All were in seventh year. All were excited for it to be over. All had a bright future. Lily and James were head boy and head girl. Oh, but another thing... they despised each other. Lily and James, that is. In fact, the others got along more than okay. Steph had eyes for James, James for Dallas, Dallas for Sirius, Sirius for Steph, Lily for Peter, Peter for Michelle, Michelle for Remus, and Remus for Lily. Confused? You should be. (A/N I suggest writing this down - it is what I did!)

"Can I sit here?" James asked into a compartment full of girls.
"Yes!" "NO!" "Whatever" "Who cares?", was the response. (Bet you can't remember who said yes, Steph)
"Well if you sit here, I'm sitting here." Said a stubborn Peter following James in. He chose a seat beside Michelle, who inched away, trying to catch another Marauder's attention, as she had another free seat on her other side. Remus, this other Marauder, was the last in the compartment and had no choice but to sit very close beside Michelle. She positively glowed.
Dallas was disgusted as James blew in her ear to get her attention, but she still caught a glance at Sirius's ass as he sat down beside Steph. Or rather, practically on top of Steph - space was tight.
Even though Steph had a real big thing for James, the brunette had been going out with Sirius since the Halloween dance. That night was like magic, but like all things, even the magic wears away and Stephanie started noticing new opportunities. 'Still, I gotta love my man... and I do' Steph thought to herself, as Sirius swept his shaggy black hair back. 'Just not as much as *him*. I'll let him go soon.... but I am not ready yet.'
"Shouldn't I be sitting on you, not you on me?" She asked Sirius jokingly.
"Alright, lets switch then, your royal heiny." He replied.
And so they did. Steph had barely sat down again when Sirius started to smother her. Stephanie couldn't say she didn't like it, she only wished it were James.
The only other two of the eight that actually hooked up were Michelle and Remus. Michelle had been in love with Remus since the beginning of first year, but they started going out in fourth. Remus liked Mich because she was so much like him - smart, intellectual, conserved with a wild side. Besides, she was beautiful with her golden blonde hair and dark green eyes. But lately he had started to notice Lily. I mean, really notice her. The way she threw her long red hair over her shoulder, the way her bright green eyes shone with mischief, and the way she looked at Peter. But Remus knew it wasn't happening. He knew that Michelle was in love and would be heart- broken. They had been going out for three years, and why would fun, intelligent, popular Lily go for him? She wouldn't.
As Sirius and Steph were busy snogging, Lily, Peter, and Dallas looked disgusted. James, Remus, and Michelle looked amused and, shrugging, Remus and Michelle followed suit.
"Maybe we should act like them." James told Dallas. Boy, was he obvious.
"Are you trying to make me throw up?" Dallas asked heatedly.
"I dunno... does it turn you on?"
"EUGGH! You are revolting, James!" She shrieked
"Damn. I think she likes me!"
Dallas ran to the girls' washroom where she could puke alone. But Lily followed her and Steph reluctantly pulled away from Sirius. "He is such a good kisser," she thought to herself. "I wonder if James is any good? I cannot believe Dallas can refuse him..." Michelle did not follow - she was in heaven.
"What's up?" Lily asked Dallas.
"I dunno... he is soooo gross! How could he think I would want to kiss him?"
"Well who do you want to kiss?" Steph asked semi-casually.
"Ummmmm... I don't think that is much of your business, Steph." Dallas replied nervously.
"Why not? Don't you trust me? Come on! Tell us! You know what is said here, stays here."
"Well, you looked like you were having fun with him and I don't want to spoil that."
"SIRIUS?" They both shrieked.
"Well, uh, yeah."
"Serious Dallas with ditzy Sirius?" Lily asked giggling.
'Why did I ever tell them?' Dallas asked herself.
"Well I think it is great!" Steph said. "He is SUCH a good kisser, you would have fun with him!"
"What do you mean?" Dallas asked. "You are telling me to kiss your boyfriend?"
"That sounds right. Then I will have a legitimate reason to break up with him."
"WHAT?" Lily screamed. "You are breaking up with Sirius? He loves you!"
"I know, that is why I feel bad about liking J..... never mind." Steph said as a flush started to creep up her cheeks.
"Tell us!" Dallas practically screamed. "I just told you my secret, and he belongs to you!"
"Well. fine! I like James now. I mean, don't get me wrong. I love Sirius, but he is more like a brother and I don't kiss my brothers. But James.." she added with a dreamy look, ".is not my brother."
Just then Michelle walked in looking quite flustered indeed. They filled her in and.
"Okay, I have a plan!" Steph said, and they all bent their heads together to scheme.
* * * * * * * * * *
MEANWHILE back in the now boy-filled compartment the Marauders were holding their own version of girl talk.
"So you finally unglued yourself from that gorgeous girl of yours?" Peter asked Remus.
"Yeah well, I don't see you with anyone." He replied nastily.
"Ouch! It was just a joke."
"Well don't joke about it. I see the way Lily looks at you."
"Really? Have you been keeping a close eye on her? 'Cause it is not right to play Michelle like that. she doesn't deserve it!"
"Do I sense some jealously here?" Remus asked.
"Do I sense some with you?"
"That wasn't the question! I love Michelle. but Lily..well, Lily likes you - you oughta get her while she's hot."
"What if I don't want Lily?" Peter asked.
"Who doesn't?" Remus shot back.
"Me." Peter said.
"Neither do I. despise her really." James agreed.
"Sirius?" Remus asked with some urgency in his voice.
"Hot. Cannot deny she is gorgeous, but I am stuck to Steph. She is more than gorgeous. And damn, she sure likes to snog!"
"So. I am the only one who likes Lily?" Remus asked, and then suddenly regretted it. He hadn't technically said he liked her. "SHIT! I mean, I am the only one who likes Michelle?" 'That was soooooo close!' he thought to himself.
"No."
"Hunh? Come again?" Remus asked, coming out of his thoughts.
"I said, NO!" yelled Peter.
"No what?"
"Remus is not the only one who likes Michelle."
"Oooooohhh PETER!" they all shrieked with glee.
"Well, you can take my Michelle, if you get Lily to like me. Until you tell me your plan I will continue to see her. It isn't like I don't love her."
Just then the girls walked in.
"Anything going on?" Steph asked as she seated her size three body down on Sirius' lap.
"Oh, this and that, you know." But he barely got it out because he was right. Steph loved to snog.
* * * * * * * * * *
Peter and Dallas (Remus and Michelle continued their activities, Lily and James had Head's duties) decided to take up a game of Wizard's chess while waiting to arrive at Hogwarts. Because of the, ahem , strange company they had, they were open to talk freely and enjoyed a rather humorous conversation.
Just as I am typing this, Lily walked in to the compartment and told the others to change - they would be there in approximately seven minutes. She had to actually go over and prod Stephanie to get her attention, (Do you like yourself yet, Stepha-Lah?) who proceeded in asking Sirius to help her with her robes.
They finished getting into their robes as the train pulled to a stop. Sirius bounded towards a carriage; all the while yelling "I'M HOME!"
Steph and Dallas ran after him, shrieking with laughter. As they could not all fit in one carriage they split up, Steph and Remus with Dallas, and, to her horror, James. Entering the next carriage were Sirius and Michelle, Peter and Lily. Lily and Peter were pleased to be together - for different reasons. Peter wanted to question Lily, and Lily just simply wanted to be with the mousy-haired boy.
'I don't even know why I like him' she thought to herself. 'He is short - Muscular but short - but he is so stupid. Maybe I feel the need to help him? Or maybe it is his crystal blue eyes. so innocent. so naïve. but there is something about him I like.'
"Hey Lils!" Peter said, sitting down beside her, knocking her out of her daydream.
"Oh! Hey Pete!" She squeaked. 'Come on Lil, keep cool! He is a dork!' '*But a lovable dork*.' Another voice said.
"Grrr!" Lily screamed in frustration at the insane argument in her head. "Make it stop!"
"Make what stop, Lils?" Peter asked confused, staring into her green eyes. She stared back, and for some in sane reason she said, "The voices in my head are arguing over whether I should like you or not."
"Oh." He said blankly, but she leaned down and kissed him - on the lips. Peter didn't respond and a second she pulled away, looking hurt. "I guess voice number one won" she said, tears now streaming down her face.
She hopped from the carriage and managed to get inside the others' just before they pulled away.
"What's wrong, Lily?" Dallas asked as tears silently flowed down her face.
"Nothing much" she mumbled. "Except I am a fool. But at least I am a fool who felt nothing."
