The initials at the start of each note make it easier to tell who everyone is, but just in case here is a key to the different fonts:

J- James Potter
S- Sirius Black
R- Remus Lupin
P- Peter Pettigrew

L- Lily Evans
A- Alice Prewett

read and review, please!
PS: We own none of these characters, however much I wish James was mine :)


Monday

History of Magic

J- Evans?

A -She's not going to reply to you James. Don't bother.

J- Thanks, Alice.

J- Evans??

A- I told you not to bother.

J- And I chose not to listen.

R- Alice is right Prongs. Lily is busy taking notes. As you should be.

S- Why am I not being included in this conversation?

J- Padfoot! Because you were asleep. That's why.

S- I was? Good. I need to catch up on the beauty sleep I lost last week.

A- You are so vain, Sirius Black.

R- I won't comment.

S- You're not allowed to comment, Moony.

R- Glad my opinion is so appreciated.

J- Evans??

A- Lily, please reply to him, even if it's just to tell him to bugger off. He's getting on my nerves.

L- What is it, Potter?

J- Will you go out with me, Evans?

L- No.

J- Why not?

L- Bugger off, Potter.

A- Well done, Lily!

J- Not funny. Why not?

L- Because you're an idiot, Potter.

S- Can't argue with that.

J- You're supposed to be on my side!

S- This time, Evans is right. About you being an idiot. Doesn't mean she shouldn't say yes. It might finally shut you up, Prongs.

R- It wouldn't. He'd go on about her even more if they were dating.

P- If that's even possible

S- But we wouldn't have to listen to him mope about her turning him down.

P- Sirius has a point, Moony.

R- Fine. Side with him, Peter.

S- Everyone sides with me.

R- I give up. Don't say anything - if I don't give up arguing with you we'll all fail. You don't think Lily is going to lend you her notes now, do you?

J- Actually, I've been making notes.

R- You have, James? How long for?

J- Two minutes.

R- Very helpful.

J- I know. And I've not copied Alice's or anything…

Charms

J- Peter?

P- Yeah?

J- I dare you to levitate Alice's hair

P- Why?

S- Just do it, Wormy. Are you are man or a mouse?

J- Don't be stupid, he's neither.

S- He is?

J- Yeah, he's a rat.

S- Very funny.

S- Well, get on with it.

P- Okay…

A- PETTIGREW!!

P- How did you know it was me?

A- Because you are the only person who could mix up a levitating charm and a summoning charm

P- Oh. Sorry.

J- Evans?

A- Give it up, James.

J- No.

A- Yes.

J- Not until Evans tells me too.

A- You know she won't talk to you, James.

J- She will. She likes me too much to ignore me.

L- I do not!

J- Told you so.

L- Oh, shut up, Potter.

J- You talked to me. You liiiike me

L- Shut up. I don't.

J- Do

L- Don't

J- Do

S- Aw, is Evans in denial?

L- No

S- Are

L- Aren't

J- Do

S- Are

L- Don't. Aren't.

A- Stop arguing! Flitwick's looking at you!

S- Seems like you've got competition, Prongs, mate

A- I didn't mean it like that…

S- But you find my natural wit and charm irresistible, eh, Alice?

A- No, Sirius. Frank is more of a man than you'll ever be.

S- That hurt, Alice

A- Good.

R- The great Sirius Black finally defeated by our dear Alice Prewett

J- Mister Prongs (aka Mister Potter aka James) would like to congratulate Miss Prewett on her defeat of the evil wizard Sirius Black (aka Mister Padfoot), and would also like to request Miss Evans (aka the future Mrs. Prongs/Potter) to accompany him on the next Hogsmeade trip, which, for her information, is taking place Saturday after next.

A- Miss Prewett humbly and modestly accepts Mister Prongs' congratulations, but has been instructed to inform him that Miss Evans has no intentions of accompanying him on the next, or any other, Hogsmeade trip and writing all posh and in the third person is not going to impress her or make her change her mind.

J- Fine.

L- Fine?

J- Fine.

A- What's fine?

J- Just… fine.

L- How much might this fine be, James? I never even knew you took books out of the Library. Unless you've been fined for something else…?

J- Oh, very funny, Evans. You called me James.

L- Why thank-you, Potter. And well observed. I never expected you to notice.

J- Was that sarcasm?

L- Might have been. Might not.

S- James'll always notice stuff like that. And read a lot into it, too.

L- Then maybe I'll have to tell him it means nothing apart from the fact that I know his name.

S- He'd probably read something into that too.

L- Shut up, Black

R- Just go out with him, Lily. Save us all of the whining.

J- I don't whine!

L- Shut up Potter

J- Not until you go out with me

L- I refuse. I don't want to go out with a snivelling, newt-sucking, rat-spitting, idiotic fool like you.

J- Angry looks good on you, Evans

S- Have you ever seen her happy?

J- Padfoot, you should be backing me up!

S- I'd rather back Alice up. I'd back Alice up against a wall anytime

A- I've told you, Sirius: I'm not interested. I've got Frank, remember? And stop passing us notes, Flitwick's eying me again.

S- He certainly is, the old pervert.

L- Shut your trap, Black.

S- Oooh, Evans is getting feisty

J- Evans...

L- No!

J- Please

L- No! I'd rather go out with Peter!

J- You and Peter?! Don't make me laugh!

L- He's nicer than you. And his hands are bigger too...

J- Making innuendos now, are we, Evans? Or do you just like guys because they have big hands?

R- You've as good as said the same thing there, James

J- I meant does she just like guys because they literally have big hands. Not relating to anything else.

R- Right…

J- Mister Prongs would like to inform Miss Evans (aka Mrs. Prongs/Potter to be) that his hands are bigger than Peter's however she may like to interpret the phrase

L- Do you really think I care about how big your hands are, Potter?

J- You might do.

L- Well I don't. And don't call me Mrs. Potter to be, either.

J- Whatever you want, Mrs. Potter

L- Don't call me that, either. I. Do. Not. Like. You.

J- I know you don't

L- Good. At least we've got that straight. Can I listen to the lesson, now?

J- You don't like me because you love me

R- Now that is the best logic I have ever seen from you, James

J- Thank you, Moony

L- Once again - I do not like OR LOVE you, Potter.

S- Once again - Evans is in denial

L- Am not

S- Are too

L- Am not

R- Am I the only one who is finding this rather repetitive?

P- I am. I can't do it!

R- Do what?

P- You're not talking about Flame freezing charms?

R- No

P- Oh. Well I keep burning my fingers on my candle

L- See, even Peter's doing more work than you, James

J- You called me James again.

L- That's not the point

J- I think it is

L- I told you - it doesn't mean anything apart from I know your name

J- You don't know how much that means to me

L- Sarcasm?

J- Not really

L- Sure?

J- Yes

L- Great. Do you know how strange you sound, Potter?

J- Don't care

L- Well.

J- Well what?

L- Just concentrate on copying up the notes

J- I can borrow Remus'

L- He won't let you

J- Oh yeah?

R- Yeah

J- Thanks, mate

R- Welcome

J- Now that was sarcasm

Divination

J- Evans?

L- No

J- You didn't know what I was going to ask

L- If you're trying to ask me out again, Potter…

J- No. I was going to ask if I am supposed to be able to see anything

L- Oh. Yes, you are. Why else would you be looking into a crystal ball?

J- Oh. I can't.

J- Hang on, I do see something!

S- What do you see, Prongs?

J- A cloud? Or maybe a sheep…?

A- Very impressive, James

S- Do you know what I see?

P- What do you see?

S- I see Evans saying yes to Prongs

J- You do?

S- Yup. She's said yes… now she's leaning closer and-

L- BLACK!

S- Now Evans, it's bad manners to pull the parchment away from someone when they're writing.

L- It's bad manners to lie, Black.

S- Who said I was lying?

A- You've complained enough time how you can never see anything

S- Maybe today I have been given the gift of sight

A- Hah. You wish

S- I wish many things

L- I don't want to know…

S- None of which involve you, Evans, if you're wondering. Unless you count me wishing that you'd say yes to Prongs so he might shut up for once

L- So you were lying then, Black?

S- Not lying… hinting

L- You already know my opinion on the subject of Potter

J- He's an amazingly good-looking guy and you wouldn't care if he kissed you right here, right now?

L- NO. He's an arrogant, big-headed, obnoxious, although good-looking prat and I wouldn't go near him with a ten foot broomstick

J- Well that obviously isn't true.

L- Why not?

J- Because you're sitting across the table from me

L- And…?

J- That's only about two feet.

Potions

J- Remus? Peter? Got any spare toad legs?

R- No. Sorry

J- Evans? Alice? Have you got any toad legs?

A- Yes. Here…

L- You shouldn't have given him them, Alice

A- Why not?

L- Because… he needs to learn the consequences of forgetting things.

A- He didn't forget them. Sirius has been flicking them at Snape for the past ten minutes

L- For Merlin's sake, Black! Haven't I told you to leave him alone?

S- What? I haven't made any different to his looks, have I?

J- In fact I think the ones in his hair improve his appearance slightly

L- Leave him alone, Potter!

J- I'm not doing anything to him. I am merely commenting on the situation

L- I told you that talking posh wasn't going to impress me

S- Admit it; you are impressed by Prongs' vocabulary

L- I am not. I do not care about the size of Potter's hands, or vocabulary, although I am slightly worried about the size of his head

J- What's wrong with my head?

L- Your head, along with your ego, is the size of Africa, Potter

J- That's better than last week

P- Last week?

J- Last week it was the size of Asia

P- Oh, right.

J- Be happy for me, Wormy! It means she likes me more

L- No it doesn't, Potter

J- What does it mean then?

L- That I forgot what I said last week?

J- Nah. I like my version better

L- Doesn't make it true

J- You know it is

L- What makes you think that?

J- Oh, Evans, do you need me to explain?

L- Explain what, Potter?

J- What makes me think you like me

L- I've heard it many times before and it is all a lot of shit, Potter

J- Watch your language, Evans

L- Like you don't swear all the time

J- Me? Swear? Never

L- Just because you don't swear in front of me doesn't mean you don't swear at all, Potter

J- Well. You still like me

L- I do not.

J- Yes you do.

L- I do not

J- Do

L- Don't

S- Do

L- Don't.

P- Do

L- Peter? I don't.

R- I think you do…

L- Not you as well Remus? I DO NOT LIKE POTTER

A- No, you love him

L- ALICE! You know I don't! And you're supposed to be backing me up

J- No, that's my job

S- Can't believe someone walked into that again…

L- That most certainly isn't your job, Potter

J- Whose job is it, then?

L- Just shut up

J- I'll shut up if you kiss me

L- I will not kiss you

S- Go on Evans

L- No, Black

R- I would encourage it if we weren't in the middle of potions…

S- We should encourage Prongs/Evans interaction at all times

P- Unless she's shouting at him

J- Even then you should… she might be shouting how much she likes me

L- Would you mind stopping discussing me, please?

J- Well Evans, see, we talk about you every lesson

R- Along with Sirius' latest targets...

S- But you haven't had the honour of sitting with us before today

R- Not in potions, anyway

S- Why have you moved, by the way?

L- Sluggy wanted someone closer to the front so he could keep an eye on them…

J- Or you wanted to be nearer me

L- Shut up, Potter

J- Not unless you kiss me

L- No

J- Then I will keep on going and going and going and go-

L- Come here, Potter

J- What?

L- Come here

J- Okay…

R- Well, while they're busy…

S- In the name of Merlin's most baggy y-fronts, why can't I be kissed like that?

R- Because nobody could ever like you enough. You're too annoying.

S- Even so… Full frontal with tongues, never the less

P- How can you tell that there's tongues?

A- Why are you all so interested? Anyone would think that you've never been kissed before.

S- Are you offering?

A- Shut it Black. I've got Frank, remember? And can't you see that this is an important moment for both of them?

S- No, it isn't.

A- Is

S- Isn't

A- Is

S- Isn't

A- Is

S- Isn't

A- Is

S- Isn't

A- Is. Quick, look uninterested, they're coming back.

R- Prongs, you look like you've been hit over the head with a bludger.

S- James, I salute you. You can kiss nearly as well as me.

J- She kissed me! She actually kissed me!

R- We could tell.

S- So could Professor Slughorn, the old pervert

L- Potter?

J- You've just kissed me like that and you're still calling me Potter?

L- That's the point.

J- It is?

L- I only did that to make you shut up. You promised, remember?

S- Oh, like we're supposed to believe that. You were obviously enjoying yourself

A- As was Professor Slughorn

L- What??

A- He was watching

S- He's jealous. It's obvious he likes you, Evans

L- Shut up, Black

S- No. I'm quite enjoying myself, thank you

L- There is no way I'm kissing you.

S- So you'll admit you didn't mind kissing James?

L- Why should I?

S- Admit it or enjoy it?

L- Why should I tell you anything?

A- You don't need to tell anything Lily

L- Thanks, Alice

A- But only because they already know

L- What?

A- Oh come on, Lily. You'll kiss James to shut him up but not Sirius? That shows a preference

L- Preferring him over Black does not mean I fancy Potter

J- But it's a good start

L- Shut up, Potter

J- Not unless-

L- No.

J- You shouldn't interrupt, Evans

L- I was saving you from having to write it out

J- Why thank you. Sarcasm, before you ask


TO BE CONTINUED...

Please review it - we would love to know what you think!
Tuesday is work in progress, and will hopefully be up around the end of next week )
