You guys, I am so sorry that I haven't updated in a while! My mom is obsessed with True Blood (TV show) and I couldn't use the computer! And I changed the password to the common room. Don't know if that matters to any of you but I just wanted to include it.

Friends

Poke. Poke…poke…poke. Ugh! No one wants to be woken up like this! Poke. I snapped up in bed with my eyes wide open only to hit my head on a…Alice?

"Lily! She's alive!" Alice shrieked jumping off my bed and dancing over to Lily who was packing things in a beach bag. Oh Merlin we were going swimming. I groaned and fell back into the bed. "Come on Ally! Don't be a party pooper!" She exclaimed hopping onto my bed and jumping up and down.

"Go away." I mumbled, throwing a pillow at her.

"No," She pushed me out of bed and I landed on the floor with a thump. "Go get your suit on right this moment!" She shrieked throwing my red bikini at me. It hit my face. The thing about Alice is that if you don't do exactly as she tells you there would be consequences. Bad consequences. I went to the bathroom and changed, and once everyone was ready we all ran out to the lake. Lily was in a black low-cut one-piece and Alice was in a purple bikini. I changed the blue streaks in my hair to red. We got to the edge of the lake and about ten minutes later four crazy boys, one of them being my brother, came running out. James immediately grabbed Lily and Frank went for Alice. Peter and Remus jumped in leaving Sirius and I.

"Sirius Black don't you dare." I said narrowing my eyes playfully.

"Too late." He stated throwing me over his shoulder and tossing me into the lake. The water was nice when you didn't go in too far. I broke the surface and threw my hair back. Sirius was standing in front of me looking smug. I'd wipe that grin off his face. I went back under and came up with a mouth full of water. When he got close enough I spat it in his face.

"Ally!" He yelled pushing my head under the surface. I grabbed his ankle and pulled him under along with me. He broke the surface before I did. I chose to swim away into a patch of reeds where I would be hidden if I kept my bathing suit hidden. This would teach him to push me underwater. He waited for a while before he started freaking out. At first his face was just tinted with worry, then next thing I knew he was trying to find me in the water only coming up every few seconds to breathe. "James! I can't find Ally!" He said after searching for about 2 minutes. He was standing right in front of me and I don't know how he missed me but I hopped out of the reeds onto his back.

"Ooooooo! This be Ally! I have come back from the dead to get yououououou!" I said into his ear. He sighed with relief and flung me around so I was facing him and hugged me.

"Don't ever do that again." He said still hugging me with his hands on my lower back. My eyes were wide with shock and my heart was beating erratically as he moved his hands up to my shoulders. He pushed me back and looked at my face which was still a mix of shock and confusion. After realizing he wanted me to say something I smiled.

"Well if I never get to do that again than you have to promise to never push me under the water again. I will go willingly." I stated.

"Deal." He said, shaking my hand.

"You dunderhead my sister's right in front of you." Said James after finally tearing his eyes off Lily. James looked strange with his messy windblown hair and glasses covered in tiny specks of water.

"No really? I thought this was Hailey!" Yelled Sirius naming one of his girlfriends. I winced hoping he knew that I was nothing like that… what's the right word? Well she's a blonde bimbo who's in Ravenclaw even though she is anything but smart.

"My sister is nothing like that bimbo." Said my brother. I smiled at him. He took the words right out of my mouth.

Thanks. I told him in my mind because that was always something we could do. I knew he would understand. We could do this along with feel each other's pain, an example is when James was hit in the head with a bludger (compliments of the Slytherins) I got a massive head ache and he almost passed out.

Welcome. Said James. I waded over to Lily and we both walked to shore. After us girls laying out for about thirty minutes our suits were dry and we were all hungry. The boys got out not bothering to put on shirts. I put on some black Soccer shorts and we all walked in together after deciding that we were all starving. Lily ran to the Library saying she had already eaten and Alice and Frank were probably off snogging some where. Ew. So it was just us Marauders. We must have been a sight to see because we were all soaking wet and there were four boys with one girl.

"Hey babe!" Yelled one of the boys. Crap. All of the boys immediately tensed when he started walking toward me. He was blonde and very well muscled. His robes were the Ravenclaw colors and He was tall. I also recognized him as one of the boys looking at me yesterday on the train. He stopped in front of me and started speaking even if I wasn't listening I knew it was something bad by the way that Sirius put his arm around me.

"I'm sorry I wasn't listening. I would ask you to repeat that but I'm quite sure that I don't want to hear it." I said glaring at him. I pushed past him and attempted to walk away with my boys. This guy could not get a hint! He was already on the Marauders list for pranks this month! Maybe even next month!

"Come on Honey don't be like that." He said grabbing my arm and spinning me around to face him. All the boys looked like they were ready to kill him.

Let me. I told James making sure to let acid leak into my thoughts. He held the guys back best he could. The boy turned us around so that His back was to the Marauders. Well that just made them angry. "I suggest you let me go right now." I said, narrowing my eyes and balling up my fists.

"Or what?" He asked. Apparently I was just a little girl that could do no harm at all. Just because this was the first time that I was taking care of this didn't mean I was helpless. He pulled me closer as if to kiss me and in turn I slugged him in the mouth. I didn't think before I acted but it felt good to get his hands off my arms. He backed up looking shocked and touching the lip that was swelling and had blood coming from it.

"I told you to stay away from me." I stated before he ran off to his friends. I walked back to the Marauders and grabbed James' hand. He still had his arms out as if to hold them back but now all of them were looking at me in awe.

"What?" I asked looking confused. Why in Merlin's name were they staring at me like that?

"Y-you just punched him." Stated Remus.

"Hard." Added Peter.

"Really hard." Said Sirius.

"He bled!" James stared. I was waiting for them to get angry at me or something but at the same time I felt happiness coming from James. He was proud of me. I broke out into a smile and nodded.

"Oh Merlin am I proud of you!"

"That was the best right hook I have ever seen!"

"Didn't know you had it in you!"

"Can't believe you made him bleed!" All of these comments were mixed in with each other and the last came from Peter.

"I think you should have kicked him too. Your kicks bleed and leave bruises." Said Remus. That coming from him, who had to heal bruises, I gave James and Sirius all summer. They stole my bra the perverts.

"No one will hit him any more got it?" I asked mostly directing my question to James. I knew he would just prank him for two months instead and that's what I wanted. He was a nasty idiot who thought I wasn't well protected. We started our walk to the great hall again and weren't interrupted.

"Finally! I'm starving!" Said Peter shaking his brown hair. I laughed along with the others and sat down. About half way into the meal we were interrupted.

"Hi Sirius!" Squealed Hailey. Oh Merlin no! When she spoke I had the strange urge to cover my ears from the noise. She walked over and flipped her blonde hair. Her skirt was as short as the teachers would allow and her shirt was buttoned very low. Once again, she is a blonde bimbo and I have no idea how she got into Ravenclaw. She plopped herself right next to Sirius and kissed him. Of course that just leads to them snogging right at the table.

"Oh Merlin my eyes! I'm blind!" I yelled and swooned into Remus's lap.

"Sirius Black this is your entire fault! Now she won't be able to punch anyone!" Yelled Remus pointing at Sirius while I did my best to look sick.

"Tell her not to look." Sirius said turning back to bimbo girl. Or Hailey. I sat up with my mouth hanging open. He had never chosen one of his play toys over us. James must have gotten this vibe too because he was the next one to speak.

"Sirius isn't the expiration date coming soon?" Asked James nervously. He knew I liked him and knew that I would not react well. Hailey apparently not understanding that this was about her turned to me.

"You're very pretty but I think that your shorts may be too tight. Maybe you've grown out of it?" She suggested. My jaw dropped. She was regrettably with Lily and me when we bought them! I glared. There is no way that she just called me fat.

"Did you just call me fat?" I asked.

"Well you have to have put on a few pounds." She said as if it were obvious. "And your eyes are a little too small. Oh and your nose! It-"I cut her off after I saw that Sirius wasn't stopping his little friend.

"That's it! I'm done I can't do this anymore! Goodbye!" I yelled pushing the bench back noisily. Sirius just stared at me while all of the marauders glared at Hailey.

"No Ally, She's leaving not you." Said James.

"What makes you so sure of that?" She asked grabbing Sirius's hand.

"Sirius." Said James giving him a pointed look.

"No. I don't want to intrude on his love life so I think I'll go." I said, and with that I walked out of the great hall with no intentions of turning back.
