"Circe baklava"

Lily Evans walked into the Gryffindor common roof with her two best friends, Alexa Marr and Marlene McKinnon. Alexa, who was called Lexi by her close friends, was originally from Russia but moved to England when she was five. She had a flirty look to her with almost white blonde hair reaching all the way down her back and large blue eyes. Marlene was what some would call the quiet, mysterious one, with long dark hair, not as long as Lexi's, and light chocolate eyes. Lily was often envious of her friends' gorgeous looks and the way they could get every guy they wanted. All the boys in Hogwarts would disagree with this statement, especially James Potter who had been in love with Lily since 3rd year, as the trio were the three most sought after girls at Hogwarts.

Lily and her friends walked into the Gryffindor common room to see the infamous Marauders circled around a small piece of parchment, but all snapped up and quickly put it away as the girls walked in, all placing their best knee-weakening grins on. Lexi and Marlene started to giggle as the ringleader, and arguable the most handsome boy in Hogwarts walked up, "Ah my little Lily Flower, how are we today?"

"Oh stuff it", lily replied. "Oh yea, and I have never and will never be your Lily Flower!"

"Pleasant as ever I see", said James taking the hint and turning back to the boys.

"Oi, what trouble have you boys been getting into while we girls were away?" Lexi inquired.

At that, Sirius Black, the only other person you could argue more handsome than James, swept Lexi off her feet and into a low dip toward the ground saying:

"Nothing you need to worry about gorgeous"

He then attempted to kiss her, but Lexi dodged out of the way and Sirius came crashing down onto the common room sofa. This caused everyone to laugh as Sirius blushed furiously and James whispered to Lily furtively:

"We need to get those two together"

For once, she agreed with him, and gave him a nod in reply. Just then, she remembered why she had made her friends come back from the library in such a rush:

"James, we need to plan the Christmas Yule Ball."

"Oh yea, do you want to go back to the Head Rooms and plan it?" he replied.

"I really don't feel like going all the way back there, can we just go up to one of the dorms here?" Lily sighed from exhaustion.

"Of course my Lily Flower"…. "Hey Sirius! Sirius! Lily and I are going up to your dorm to plan some stuff, we'll be back down later k?"

"Alright, go on then" Sirius said between his constant flirting with Lexi.

Lily then ran up the stairs with James trailing just behind, and as she ran, she thought:

"Gosh, James looks so gorgeous tonight! Wait, no, I'm supposed to hate him remember! He's a stuck up, arrogant prat, always trying to get girls in his bed."

She mentally slapped herself as they began to discuss ideas for a ball theme:

"We need a way we can get all the houses to mix" Lily said.

"Oh come on Lily-Flower. You no as well as I that will never happen"

"That's why we're here James, to find a way!"

"Fine, you're right I admit it" James finally gave in.

"Of course I'm….wait did you just admit I was right?" Lily felt as though she had been hit with a stunning spell.

"Yes as a matter of fact, I did" Only James (and the marauders of course) knew that he had vowed to change himself completely (well almost) to win over Lily, and that meant no more bickering.

They both calmed down and Lily got over the shock of the changed James, and they talked into the night about different ideas, finally deciding upon something around midnight. They left the dorm smiling unaware of what time it was. Lily ran down the stairs and jumped on top of Lexi and Sirius.

"Thanks a lot Evans!" Sirius smirked.

"Oh it was no problem Sirius, no problem at all" Lily replied.

"I'm so tired" Lily managed to get out through a yawn.

Everyone silently agreed with Lily and headed up to bed. Once the girls got up to their room, they immediately forgot all thoughts of going to bed and started gossiping rapidly.

"What's up with you and Sirius Lexi, ya'll looked pretty close when I knocked ya'll over…I hope I didn't disturb you" Lily said cheekily. "Maybe someone has a little crush on the infamous Sirius."

Lexi mumbled something incoherently.

"What was that Lexi?" Marlene inquired.

"Oh bugger off, both of you, I admit, I like him!" Lexi laughed at her two friends.

"Finally!" Lily and Marlene shouted in unison.

"Ugh, I'm tired I need to sleep, I know we're going to have a potions test tomorrow, Professor Menzel loves giving us pop tests on Friday." At Lexi's terrible attempt to change the subject, Lily chimed in,

"Oh it's almost the weekend I can't wait!" Lily exclaimed.

"Yes, you can spend the entire weekend with darling James," said Marlene.

Lily gasped a bit too quickly, "I most certainly do not like Potter!"

All the girls began giggling and bantering back and forth about who liked who, and with the knowledge that Lexi liked Sirius, Marlene liked Remus, and Lily liked James (though she still firmly denied this, they all knew it) a pillow fight ensued and the girls ran around their dorm hitting each other. Somewhere in all of this, someone turned on the magical stereo and put in the Wicked Witches, the hottest new band.

To those who'd ground me
Take a message back from me
Tell them how I am
Defying gravity
I'm flying high
Defying gravity

Across the hall in the boys' dorm, Remus, Sirius, and James heard the commotion from the girls' room and wondered what they were doing.

"So Remi, I noticed you were having a lovely little chat with our Marlene this evening", James said.

"Oh, well, um, it was nothing, we were just talking you know…" Remus managed to stutter out.

"Haha, someone has a crush on our lovely Marlene I'd say", Sirius said.

"Wait a minute I just heard the girls say about Remus." James interrupted.

The boys wandered over to the vent that connected to the girls' room, through which you could conveniently hear everything the girls said.

"Oh dear, I really like Remus, what am I going to do?" they heard Marlene say.

"What are you talking about?" Lily said.

"Lily, you know Remus, he would never like someone like me!"

"Marlene are you off your rocker!" Lexi said. "Remus would have to be crazy not to love you!"

"Did you hear that Remus, Marlene just confessed her undying love for you!" Sirius said.

"Well I wouldn't quite call it that, but she definitely said she likes you!" James said.

"Wow I honestly can't believe that Marlene likes me like that, I would never have called that one!" Remus said stunned.

"I wish Lils would like me like that." James said.

"I wish Marlene would even acknowledge my presence, so you're better of than I Prongs, at least Lily talks to you, even though it may be when she's throwing a hex at you"

The boys walked back over to there room and quickly fell asleep, dreaming of the girl they were so obviously enamored with.

Little did they know the girls' conversation was far from over.
