kittens0020: Ahhh my gosh! I was really spelling the word Professor wrong? That was on the title of this story and everything! And I was blaming my English teacher for giving me a bad grade. (Groans with embarrassment.) I didn't think I was that bad of a speller, but misspelling something as first-grade as Professor really is the final straw. I am going to comb each chapter I posts 3 times for spelling errors. Thank you so much for pointing this out. If you didn't, we would still have this story's title spelt wrong.
PoE-dA-hOe: Thanks! Glad you like it as much as I love writing it!
Caramellxkissx: You're right. It's not just your pet peeve either, ironically enough, it's mine, too. I don't like others to misspell things, so as fate would have it, I myself can't spell anything to save my life.
ChoklatCheriCheesekuchen: I was laughing when I wrote it, so I'm glad you think so too or else I would just be that one sad person who laughs at their own jokes, but no one else does, and I get that enough at school. Love your name, too. And cool! We share the same catch phrase! 'Mahwah!' I also have another, but if I go into to much more detail about it, an angry mob will attack me for annoying them to death. But it's on my lookup!
Shang Warrior Phoenix: Thank you very much, and I shall honor that request right now!
So, due to request and my continued desire to find an excuse not to study, here is chapter 2!

CHAPTER 2: Operation: Get-Lily-Evens-and-James-Potter-together-before-we-all-loose-our-sanity-or-what-is-left-of-it
The next day at breakfast, we find the subjects of last night's discussion seated at the Gryffindor Table:

/Halfway down the Gryffindor Table

Sirius Black was disturbed
Well, not really. He was actually in a relatively sane state of mind...
"Padfoot? Why are you putting mustard in your pumpkin juice?"
...Though that was debatable. But that wasn't the point. The point was, something was off about the Professors today...
"Padfoot? Are you with us?" Sirius turned slowly to face Remus, who had addressed him.
"Yeah... I was just thinking-" Remus and James both spat out what they were eating in unison, causing many people to stare.
"YOU WERE THINKING?" They both exclaimed.
"Owl the Daily Prophet!" James cried.
"Everyone run!" agreed Remus. "It's a sign of the Apocalypse as we know-"
"Hey! I do think!" Sirius stated indignantly. James and Remus exchanged doubtful looks.
"Now as I was saying!" Sirius continued, with the air of wounded pride. "I was just thinking that there is something strange about the Professors this morning. I just can't figure out what it is... did Professor Slughorn get a haircut? Or perhaps Minnie got a new hat? Or-"
He was again interrupted, only this time by a loud Whoop!-ing noise that came from the Head Table.
Remus tuned out his friend's rambling in favor of glancing at the Staff Table to see what the ruckus was, and what Sirius was going on about.
He did a double take.
"Moony," he heard James say solemnly.
"Yes?" Remus asked, in similar tones.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but are our teachers cackling?" James asked, incredulously.
Remus considered for a moment, before responding, "Yes. I believe they are, Prongs."
"Oh." James slumped in his seat after a moment. "Why do I feel like I'm doomed?"
"Probably because you are, Prongsie!" stated Sirius cheerfully, reaching over, and grabbing a kipper off James' plate.
"Should I run?" James asked seriously (A/N: If you'll pardon the pun).
Sirius scoffed. "They're Professors, Prongsie. You should know by now that running is futile."
James Potter groaned, and banged his head hard on the table. Thump. Repeatedly.

/At the same time at the end of the Gryffindor Table, closest to the Head Table

Natasha Merrina frowned as she leaned over to speak to her best friends Lily Evans, Aurora Gildings, and Sasha Ternfeild. "Guys, why do our teachers look so... err, what's the word for it-?"
"-Evil?" supplied Aurora. The others nodded in agreement.
As if to prove the point, a loud Whoop!-ing call was heard from the Head Table. Lily and her friends looked up in alarm to see all the Professors present staring gleefully at the Gryffindor Table.
"Did Professor Hyphianne just whoop?" asked Aurora blankly.
"And why are they looking this way? I bet they're looking at the Marauders," Lily muttered, pronouncing the name Marauders with distain. Her friends all rolled their eyes.
"Don't try to play that, Lily. You so like James Potter!" giggled Sasha, the bubbly member of the group.
"I do not! He is the world's biggest prat! His head is so swollen-" Lily ranted, but Natasha, forgetting about her Professor's strangeness for the moment, smiled slyly.
"Correction, his head used to be big. He has really gotten over himself during the summer. Besides, he's ultra cute, and so into you, my dear Lilykins!" The girls all giggled over this, and Lily sulked. A loud thump-ing noise got their attention.
Looking around, they saw that the source of the noise was originating from the boy they had just been discussing. They watched as he knocked his forehead on the table, while the two other Marauders looked on sympathetically.
"See, Lily," said Natasha cheerfully. "He even looks cute when he's thumping his head against a table!"
Lily's only response to this was an exasperated noise in the back of her throat.

/Not so far away at the Head Table
XXXX
Albus cackled.
He really couldn't help it. He was going to solve 2 out of his 3 annoyances very, very soon.
He was so excited he had the audacity to cackle again, and popped a Lemon Drop in his mouth for good measure.
Albus nearly cackled a third time, but refrained from doing so as he noticed the odd looks the Professors were receiving from the student population.
"Whooooooowwww!"
...Unfortunately, not everyone had such restraint.
Albus looked around exasperatedly at the other Professors, who were all giving the excitable Orlanda looks of amusement. Albus sighed as he figured that she had been the one to make the Whoop!-ing noise.
How immature.
Albus suddenly heard a dull, repeated Thump echoing threw the Great Hall. It turned out to be James Potter, banging his head on the tabletop. Albus couldn't help but notice that Lily Evans was glaring at him as he did so.
The sight was far to amusing to ignore.
He cackled again.
Yes. This was going to be fun.
There is Chapter 2! Doesn't have too much action. Just builds up the insanity of it all. Read and Review please! Hope you all like! I will post again when people have reviewed, and have let me know that someone is reading it, and that I am not typing to myself... which would be rather pathetic.
