Title: Field of Dreamers- Part Two Title: Field of Dreamers- Part Two

Subtitled: Rules are meant to be broken.

Authors Note: Well, here's the second part. I wrote most of this while I was at Disney World, so if some of the things don't match up (I didn't have the first part to read over from, and personally I don't care that much.) complain and I'll fix it. Ummm...yeah. This takes place two months (November) after the first one and might continue during their winter break, depends on how much farther I want to take this chapter. Things you may want to know....

1-Nellie backed down from the wizard's duel (one I didn't know how to write a good one, two they are in first year and there's nothing much they could do and three I felt like making her back down.) So, we'll just say she's chicken.

2- MWPP=2nd year, LJA=1st year, Arthur-Molly-Amenia-=6th years. Garrison is in seventh year

.I 'm going to do something with Molly and Arthur later on (I hope that you guys like it enough for me to continue) and you'll see what it is then.

3-Garrison and Amenia used to date. (A lot of this chapters going to have to do with them, you'll see why later.)

5- You meet some new Ravenclaws this year who are friends with Caitlin. She's in third year by the way.

4-Umm...that's all. Oh, yeah you might need to know I love, adore, implore, can't do without, simply, madly, truly, deeply need reviews. Just kidding, review if you want...although if you don't your mean, and evil and need mental help....maybe that's just me.

Disclaimer: Yada, Yada, Yada, I don't want to write one of these, but alight. Jo Quinn, Ashley Morgan, Caitlin Reed (though she is Cait the Great in real life is in my story by her own design.) And all her friend who happen to be mine too, Amenia, Nellie Malfoy, Missy Malfoy (Don't worry, they'll get what's coming to em'.) Garrison, and anyone else I've made up or make up is mine. Remus (I wish he was mine!), Sirius (really wish he was mine!), James (He's Lily's!), Peter (ha! He's going to get a girlfriend sooner or later. I know, I know...don't throw tomatoes!), Lily (well, I'm straight and can't think of anything to say...ummm.....yeah!) Albus, Minerva, Flitwick, any of the teachers (Minus Davidson), Snape and anyone else mentioned in the HP stories are J.K's...And I don't know what else to write. La, di, da, di, da.

"I think I need more sleep." Jo mumbled.

"Don't we all?" Lily agreed. Ashley, who could sleep very little, was already sitting on her bed.

"I swear you two are the laziest people I know." Ashley sighed.

"Aren't they pathetic?" Nellie grinned. Jo, who wasn't in a good mood due to a Potions test, was about to say something rash. She, wisely, decided against it. The three girls were not to keen on Nellie or Catherine for that matter. Once Nellie backed out (saying she didn't want to hurt Jo.) from the wizards duel the three girls concluded that they should stay away from her. Unfortunately for them, they were in the same house.

"No, that's you. Nellie, spare us all the trouble and go away." Ashley grinned from her bed.

"I'm leaving. Not because, of you. Well, partly but I don't want to be around you." Nellie scoffed and walked out, Catherine trailing behind.

"That was a pleasant morning way to wake up," Lily yawned.

"Ha. Come on, we've got that test today. Maybe the guys can give us some pointers." Jo jumped up. After the two of them dressed (Ashley already had.) they made their way down to the common room. Their friends from sixth year, Molly and Amenia, were waiting for them.

"Did you three hear?" Molly jumped when she saw them.

"No. Spill it, Molly."Ashley smiled.

"Lucius Malfoy just asked Narcissa to marry him." Molly squealed. Jo, Ashley and Lily exchanged looks.

"So?" Lily finally shrugged.

"Narcissa and Lucius have been dating since third year, it's so romantic." Molly said, dreamily. "Even if they are Slytherins, and even if I hate Malfoy's it is."

"Molly, your heads in the clouds. Did you by any chance drink a love potion?" Jo giggled.

"Well, there was this time when she was madly in love with Cameron and she did make one, she just never used it." Amenia intervened.

"Do you have any of it left?" Lily asked, green eyes shining.

"No. I can make it for you if you want." Molly said and they started down to the Great Hall.

"Actually, that's a good idea. Tonight, come to our room and I'll find an empty classroom we can use to make it. I have an idea." Lily grinned. All four of the other girls begged her to tell them, but she wouldn't. "You'll see." She kept saying.

"See what?" Sirius interrupted her.

"None of your business, Black." Lily shot back at him without looking over her shoulder. Sirius grinned.

"Hey Sirius?" Jo asked as the boys joined them walking down to the Great Hall.

"Yeah, Quinn?" Sirius asked.

"I had a good idea for a prank on the Slytherins. Lily gave me the idea yesterday." Jo smiled.

"I'll make a mischief maker out of you, yet." Sirius slung his arm happily around her shoulder. "What is it?"

"You think I'm going to tell you?" Jo raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, as a matter of fact I do." Sirius told her.

"Well, I won't." Jo offered.

"Fine, Jo. I won't talk to you, then." Sirius crossed his arms, and walked as far away from Jo as he could without straying from the group.

"Fine!" Jo yelled after him.

"James, did you hear about Lucius and Narcissa?" Amenia changed the subject. After a week they learned that Jo and Sirius had really, really bad tempers and when they were at odds with one another it was a good idea to change the subject.

"No, what happened?" James asked. "Did the famous couple break up?"

"No, sadly. They're marrying." Molly sighed. Arthur wrapped an arm around her (rather difficult because, she's about two heads shorter then him.) and kissed her sweetly. "I love you, Arthur." She whispered quietly, but everyone heard.

"I love you, too Molly." Arthur blushed and kissed her again.

"Oh, get a classroom!" Sirius ruined the whole sweet moment. Jo slapped him in the arm, Lily cursed him (a word I'd rather not repeat), Ashley told him a calm and collective voice 'You idiot.", Amenia threatened him, and Molly blushed furiously.

"Not a bad idea," Arthur whispered so quietly only Molly could hear him. She in turn, blushed as red as Arthur's hair.

"No more lovey, dovey stuff. It makes me sick," Sirius grimaced. "If I ever become Minister of Magic, I'm going to put a ban on love."

"Lucky for us, you'll never become Minister of Magic, so we won't have to worry, will we?" Jo sniggered.

"I swear..." Sirius started.

"What?" Jo challenged. Sirius and Jo's eyes locked, neither wanting to look away first. Everyone around them having seen this before backed away slightly. "What?"

"Nothing..."Sirius kicked the ground.

"That's what I thought." Jo smiled. Sirius looked back at her, his face smiling. All is well in paradise, again Ashley thought.

"Let's go I'm hungry." Remus added and they walked down the steps.

"Oh, look there's the mail." Amenia said as they sat down, and the owls swooped in. A tawny owl dropped directly in front of Garrison. He grabbed the letter and the owl flew off in a hurry.

"That's my Aunt Morgana's owl. I wonder why she'd be writing me." He opened the letter. The others were to wrapped up in their breakfasts to bother to read over his shoulder. After a few seconds someone finally registered the astonishment in his face.

"Garrison are you all right?" Amenia asked.

"It's..." his face clouded over. "I have to go." And with that he clutched the letter and ran out of the Great Hall.

"I'm going to go check on him." Amenia sighed and she ran after him.

"GARRISON!" Amenia called. She saw him duck around a corridor, and in a flash she ran after him. "Garrison?" She cooed softly entering the classroom in which she saw his back retreat into.

"Go away, Amenia." His voice was mellow. She saw him in the corner, a single tear dripping down his cheek.

"What happened?" She asked. She sat down next to him, and he put his head in her lap.

"Amenia, you know who Voldermort is right?" His voice was muffled by the billows of her robe.

"Yes, why?" She brushed his hair. I remember when I used to do this all the time, she thought, of course we were dating then. It took him a moment to collect himself.

"He killed my parents, and my baby sister last night." He sat up, looking directly into her shimmering violet eyes.

"Oh...I had no idea, Garrison. I'm so...sorry." She wrapped him in a hug. She, almost instantly, felt her shoulder wet. She just let him cry, not saying anything. What would I say? Nothing could be worse then this. Nothing.

"Amenia?" He asked timidly after about five minutes.

"Yes?"

"Why do people do these things?" He wanted to know.

"Voldermort...he's evil. Garrison, he has no reason to kill. He just does. Nothing anyone could do to stop it. One day, someday, someone will cause his downfall. And on that day, we'll rejoice with the rest." She gave him the only answer she could think of.

"Amenia he just got started. Already he's killed hundreds, and no one knows anything about him. Everyone thinks that he's going to go away...Amenia, I don't think he will." Garrison buried his head back on her shoulder.

"Garrison, I know. I think hard times are ahead, but we'll get through them. I'll get you through them." She ran her hands through his hair, like she used to.

"I love you, Amenia." Garrison brushed away tears.

"I love you, too Garrison." She kissed his forehead. "Garrison, I'm sorry."

"Amenia it's not your fault. But, I'm against him. When I graduate next year, I'll join the resistance to fight them."

"I will, too." She lightly brushed away a tear.

"This feels like old times." He sighed.

"It does, though."

"I missed you," Garrison cupped her cheek.

"I missed you, too." She rubbed her cheek against his hand. He kissed her, briefly. A kiss that held all of their old passion, and she kissed him back. After several seconds they pulled apart.

"Amenia?" He asked as soon as they released their lips.

"Garrison?"

"I really do love you." He kissed her on the cheek.

"I love you to, Garrison. We're friends, and we'll always be friends." She smiled.

"But, Amenia I don't love you like that. I love you, like for the rest of my life, love you." He smiled back.

"Garrison..."

"I mean it. We better get back out there before they start searching. And knowing Sirius we'd never live it down. Come on," He pulled her up.

"Are you sure your ok?" She asked astonished.

"Yea," He lied. Amenia, I'm not okay. I'll never, ever be ok. Someone just murdered my parents, and I hope you, my love, never have to feel that pain. I love you, and I'm glad I have you back, he added to himself silently.

"Okay, good." She knew he was lying. Why won't you admit your not okay? You've got a right not to be okay, I mean your parents just died. I'd still be sad, she added silently. I've dearly missed your kiss, she thought, No don't think about that.

"Hey, we've got to get to class." Molly grabbed her hand. They both waved 'good-bye' to Garrison, and ran up the stairs to meet Arthur. As soon as they were out of Garrison's ear range, and before they reached Arthur's, Molly added. "And I want all the details."

"Molly, now's not the time." Amenia told her as they ran up the steps.

"Why?" Molly giggled.

"Garrison's parents died, his sister too." Amenia silenced her giggle.

"He seemed awfully happy about it. He was grinning like a maniac." Molly sounded oddly surprised.

"I think he's trying to cover something up. I'll tell you more later."

"Tell more what?" Arthur asked as they reached him.

"Don't worry about it, Weasley." Amenia grinned.

"All right. Come on, we'll be late." Arthur grabbed Molly's hand, who grabbed Amenia's hand and they ran to their classroom. Amenia felt bad about leaving Garrison, but what was she supposed to do?

"Oi!" A voice called. Jo whirled around. She was doing an errand for Professor Flitwick. She saw Sirius standing outside a dungeon.

"Hey, what's up?" She ran over.

"Planting a dungbomb in the door to the Slytherin common room, it'll go off as soon as someone opens the door. And you?" He finished doing whatever he was doing and backed away from the door a proud look on his face.

"I'm running an errand for Professor Flitwick, and I need to go give this to Professor Davidson . Why are you allowed out of your class? I'd figure they'd keep you locked in a straight jacket." Jo joked.

"I had to use the loo, or that was my cover." Sirius stuck his tongue out at her.

"Well, I'd better get this done or I'll get in trouble. Now, come on. I can walk you back to your class, and get this done and then get back up to mine." Jo returned the gesture.

"Oh, all right. I've been gone twenty minutes, they must think I drowned." Sirius smiled.

"I wouldn't be surprised with you." Jo smiled back. Sirius punched her, lightly, in the side. "Ouch! Hey, that hurt."

"Are you calling me stupid?" Sirius asked, his eyebrows arched.

"You said it, not me." Jo smiled. Sirius was about to retaliate, but they had reached the Potions classroom, so he had to wait to later.

"Mr. Black, twenty points from Gryffindor for your long journey. Miss Quinn, what are you doing here?"

"Professor Flitwick asked me to bring you this." She produced the note Professor Flitwick has intrusted her with. Sirius, who looked furious, sat down and grinned at her.

"You can leave, Miss Quinn." He waved her away. James, Sirius, Remus and Peter waved good-bye, costing Gryffindor another twenty points. Jo smiled as she made her way back up to the Charms classroom.

While Professor Davidson started talking about a new potion that they were going to try four Gryffindors became busy writing notes to one another.

Sirius-

What's up with you and Jo? This morning I thought you were going to make a World War over something trivial and now your friends, again? I swear, they were right, you do belong in St. Mungo's.

James

James-

Your funny, James. No seriously, hilarious. Jo and I fight all the time, she's like my baby sister. I do not belong in St. Mungo's and I completely resent that remark.

Sirius

James and Sirius-

Stop passing notes between me. Davidson will kill us for sure, and this time I mean literally. I like my like too. Please stop. Pass them through Peter if you simply can't stop talking.

Remus

Remus-

Sorry.

James and Sirius

"Potter? Black? Lupin?" Professor Davidson strode in front of them. "Passing notes?"

"No, sir." They all answered.

"Liars. Sixty points more from Gryffindor and detention for each of you tomorrow night." Professor Davidson smiled, pleased with himself, and then they went back to his desk. "Now, you are all to read pages 356, to 359 and tonight write three scrolls about the reading."

"How can he find so many ways to take points from us?" Sirius whispered.

"We were passing notes." Remus sighed. "Thank goodness we have next period free."

"Yeah. I need my beauty rest." Sirius said.

"You'd need a 100 years of beauty sleep, Sirius." James poked him with his quill.

"Shut it, Potter." Sirius grinned.

"How long until class is over?" Jo grumbled.

"Why? Do you have to go to the bathroom?" Ashley continued writing her notes on the Marking Charm.

"No, Ashley. I want to get started on our newest prank." Jo said.

"If it's ours we should probably know what it is." Lily smiled.

"I'll tell you when we get back to the common room." Jo told them.

"Well, that's all for today. You have no homework, so have fun. Bye." Professor Flitwick nodded. They rushed out of the class.

After everyone had rejoined in the common room they sat down to plan out the next prank. Jo, who had something in mind, went to explaining.

"See, all we need is the password to the Slytherin tower." She tucked the "Super-Duper" Super Glue tube back into her pocket. "Sirius, think you can get it?"

"You shame me. Of course. Where's Amenia? I need her help." Sirius asked.

"I think she and Garrison went to talk out by the lake." Molly answered. "I think they might get back together."

"They compliment each other well enough," Ashley said. "I mean, I never saw them when they were going out, heck I didn't know they were ever going out, but they'd make a cute couple."

"Yeah, they would." Jo and Lily agreed.

"Emm...Jo? About this prank, we need the passwords, right?" Remus interrupted.

"Yes, I told you that." Jo answered.

"Sirius, I know you have your ways and all, but how are we going to get them?" Remus asked.

"Remus, don't you worry your little head about it. I need Amenia...or Molly, if you weren't dating Arthur, you'd work. Where is that girl?" Sirius stretched in his chair.

"Amenia, we'd better go back inside. They're probably wondering about us. Besides, I've got to get ready to announce try-out's for Qudditch tomorrow. Come on." Garrison gave a hand down to her and lifted her easily up.

"I think I need to take a nap." Amenia clung to his shoulder as they walked back into the castle.

"Does being around me tire you out that much?" Garrison asked, playing hurt.

"Well,...no. I just need to sleep." Amenia told him. They walked up the stairs to the tower in silence, enjoying their time together.

"THERE YOU ARE!" Sirius yelled as soon as they entered the common room. "Amenia, we need you for a prank. I need the Slytherin password."

"I'm going to sleep, Sirius. The passwords same as last time you asked me, two days ago." Amenia shook her head.

"Yeah, but I forgot. What if they changed it?" Sirius asked.

"They didn't. Sirius, they may be smart in school, occasionally, but they're dumb when it comes to dealing with Gryffindors. The password should be 'Pureblooded pride'. Now, excuse me I'm going to sleep." Amenia sighed heavily, and then started to the steps.

"Amenia don't forget! Tonight, sleep over in our dorm!" Jo cried. Amenia waved, and then walked up to her dormitory.

"Can we come?" James grinned. This caused him to be whacked back four pillows (One from Lily, one from Jo, one from Ashley and one from Molly.) "Hey!"

"Why are you guys having a 'sleep over'?" Sirius raised his eyes.

"None of your business, Black. And seriously, this time I'm not telling you." Jo hit him.

"What gives?" Sirius hit her back.

"Oh, that's it. Your dead, Sirius!" She got up and they chased each other around the room with pillows, every few seconds one would get behind the other and then they'd switch. Soon, everyone else joined. Remus and James teaming up against Lily and Ashley, and Molly telling Arthur 'If you hit me, I'll hurt you.' and Arthur telling her 'Yes, Molly.' After a few minutes of the groups walloping each other with pillows viciously they sat down. Several students who were watching with interest returned to doing whatever their activity was, and several laughing.

"One day, Frank, they'll all get married." Corina Robbins told her friend Frank Longbottom.

"You'll marry me too, right?" Frank joked with her. "And we'll have a kid named Neville."

"Oh shut up." She slapped him playfully on the arm. They resumed their studies.

"Ugh. Come on, Sirius, let's go do the prank." Lily got up.

"Not until after I eat." Sirius smiled.

"Always thinking of your stomach. Look at the logic, okay? Propersition: Slytherins, like normal Gryffindors, brush their teeth after eating, right?"

"Not Snape. He never brushes his teeth." James grinned. Everyone chortled.

"Well, maybe we'll get lucky and he will. Now, we can do this before dinner, and then when they get back... our prank shall have been played." Jo finished.

"But, what if they don't? Besides I'd much rather see them come into the Great Hall in the morning with their teeth stuck together." Sirius asked.

"We can't do it, tonight. Lily, Molly, Ashley and I have preordained plans." Jo answered.

"Your forgetting your better halves. We can," Sirius slapped her shoulder.

"Your most certainly not our better halves. And I want to do it." Jo slapped his shoulder back.

"Fine." Sirius crossed his arms. Jo hugged him.

"Don't be mad." She released.

"I'm not." Sirius hugged her back, and quickly released.

"Guys one problem. How are we going to get in unseen?" Ashley pointed out. "We've been in there when it's dark before, but it's day." She pointed to the window. Indeed, the sun was shining brightly.

"James's Invisibility Cloak!" Everyone exclaimed.

"Genius! I should have thought of that." Ashley said sarcastically. Sirius gave her a very dignified glance. "Except I did. How are we all going to fit under there?"

"Good point." Lily rubbed her chin. James saw this and thought, wow that's cute. Then as an afterthought, what am I saying?

"Well, normally five us can fit under there. I mean, Lily you are tiny, and Ashley your really tiny." Sirius said.

"Are you calling me fat, Sirius?" Jo nearly yelled.

"You wish," He grinned. Lily handed her a pillow and she whacked him with it. "Okay, okay. Jo, Lily and Ashley are tiny so they count as like one and a half people."

"That's better." Jo crossed her arms. Sirius gave her the puppy dog face and she smiled, all forgiven.

"We won't go." Molly offered. "I do enjoy the possibility of getting detention, but I've got to go get my books and everything for tonight." She kissed Arthur's cheek. "And I don't want you get detention, Arthur. So, you can study."

"Yes, Molly." Arthur said. He knew she was kidding, but he did need to study for a test.

"I've got to organize tomorrow's try-outs announcement and make a pamphlet and all that jazz." Garrison said. "So, I'm out."

"I'll help you, and then study." Arthur added. "Come on." They raced up to Garrison's seventh year dormitory.

"Well, one of us is out." Everyone looked around.

"I have to study anyway." Peter, who in the back of his mind knew they would eventually tell him it was him, said. He waved goodbye, and walked to the second year boy's dorms.

"Where's that cloak, Potter?" Lily smiled.

"I'll be right back," James ran up the stairs.

"Be quiet!" Sirius commanded. They were on the corner, approaching the Slytherin common room. As they turned the corner they saw Filch cleaning the door to the dungeon common room from Sirius's dungbomb earlier.

"Stupid kids. Always making trouble for me. Well, one day I'll teach them. Oh, how I miss the chains." Filch was saying. Soon the six Gryffindors realized that they couldn't get into the common room with Filch standing there. Thankfully, a Slytherin they didn't know came around the corner and the door swung open, nearly hitting Filch who cursed under his breath. The friends quickly got into the common room.

"It looks a lot different in the light," Lily whispered. Everyone hushed her, but agreed. Very unlike their scarlet and gold filled common room, this one was filled with green and silver. Sirius pointed them towards the steps, and with carefully planed foot movements they soon found themselves in the Slytherin boys bathrooms.

"Hand me the glue, Jo." Sirius took the tiny bottle. Together, they moved over to where everyone's toothpaste was stored. Slowly, Sirius poured half of the tube in. "We're going to need more." He whispered quietly. The girls smiled, produced several more of the bottles from the pockets of their robes.

"Smart, eh?" Ashley smiled. Sirius took the bottles, as he James and Remus began to empty the bottles into the large vat of toothpaste. "Now we know to only brush our teeth from our own tubes."

"You learn something new everyday," Lily agreed.

"Shut up," Sirius mouthed. Then he turned back around to finish the task. If he didn't he would have seen the faces they were making behind his back. Soon, they finished. "Now, to the girls bathrooms."

"I shouldn't have had that chunky mushroom soup at lunch." A voice echoed. Everyone gasped. Lewis Goyle popped into the bathroom. He had a copy of the Daily Prophet clutched in his right hand. He went over one of the stalls. "Oh, well door doesn't work." He sighed and Jo caught herself before she yelled something about 'tack'. The girls hid their faces against the boys (who were taller) chests, and the boys who were possibly more disgusted hid their eyes. After a few minutes Goyle flushed the toilet. "Much, much better." He walked out of the bathroom, smiling.

"He didn't shut the stall! He didn't even wash his hands!" Jo whispered.

"I'm emotionally scared for the rest of my life," Remus's face showed disgust.

"He smells worse then a dungbomb. Let's get out of here before I pass out!" Sirius cried, holding his nose. As fast as they could go, without having the cloak slip off of them, they walked out of the bathroom. They walked down the steps, carefully avoiding some of the Slytherin talking on them stairs, and walked across the common room to the girl's bathrooms.

"Come on," James motioned them inside.

"Our turn." Jo grinned. She, Ashley and Lily took out some more bottles of Super glue and poured it into the Slytherin girls' supply of toothpaste. When they finished, Jo smiled. "And now for the pink hair dye."

"What?" Sirius, James and Remus asked.

"You taught us well," She and the girls produced three bottles of pink liquid. "Molly made it for us a week ago."

"Good thinking," James sounded impressed.

"It was Lily's idea," Ashley grinned. Lily blushed. They walked over to the bottles of Shampoo (not that the Slytherins use it, necessarily) and poured some into each bottle. After finishing, Jo grabbed a small bottle out of her robe.

"And a bit of itching powder in the towels for luck," and she sprinkled it over the pile of fluffy towels laying on the shelf.

"Brilliant!" Sirius beamed.

"Is that it?" Remus asked, surprised. Everyone knew he was joking.

"Actually, no." Lily smiled. She reached inside of her robe and brought out a small assortment of candy. "From your personal stash, Sirius. Acid Pops, Cockroach Clusters, and all the Every Flavor Beans we thought looked bad."

"How do you know they'll eat them?" Sirius proposed.

"This," Ashley took out a white note.

Girls-

Enjoy the candy, new shampoo and wonderful new toothpaste. They were a generous gift of Mr. Malfoy's father, his company made them. Enjoy!

Professor Davidson

"Sounds to cheery. Unlike Davidson." Remus pointed out. "Let me see it." He took the paper and brought out his wand. "Better." Now it read...

If you do not want to disgrace your family, and your Slytherin heritage use the new toothpaste and shampoo. Eat the candy, it's from Mr. Malfoy's father. If I hear of it not being used, or thrown out you will be expelled.

Professor Davidson

Ashley, Lily and Jo hugged him. "Brilliant!" They chorused.

"Come on, we'd better go. It'll be dinner soon." Sirius whispered.

"You and your stomach," Jo punched him lightly in the stomach. It made a noise. "Ep!"

"Don't worry, it's just telling you 'I'm hungry.'" Sirius grinned. They set off quietly. Not knowing if Filch was still outside or not, they had to wait for Lucius Malfoy to stroll into the common room with a beautiful blonde (presumably Narcissa) on his arm. They snuck out, and Filch wasn't there. They quietly made their way back up to the Gryffindor common room and when they reached the portrait hole they took off the cloak.

"That was good." Sirius said with an amused expression on his face. "I can't wait to see the look on their faces in the morning."

"Me either." Everyone agreed. They walked back into the common room.

"Yes!" Sirius exclaimed.

"What?" Everyone asked.

"It's almost time for dinner!" He smiled. Jo, Lily and Ashley groaned.

"All you do is think about your stomach." Ashley threw her arms up.

"And he eats twice the human amount and remains skinny. How do you do it Sirius?" Molly asked as she and Arthur walked over.

"Well, racing James' during the holidays helps. And I make sure to exercise..." He went on. Molly handed Jo a pillow from behind her back and Jo whacked Sirius over the head. "Why does everyone keep hitting me?"

"It's called 'Stupid hits' you get one every time you say or do something stupid." Jo explained. Sirius took the pillow and whacked her with it. "Hey! I didn't do anything stupid!"

"Yes you did. You made up 'Stupid hits'. I'm going to have brain damage from you people." Sirius threw the pillow so it landed on the couch.

"You don't need anymore brain damage. And just think...we're your friends, think what your enemies would do to you." Ashley smiled.

"What enemies? I have no enemies! Everyone loves Sirius Black!" Sirius gave them a regal stare.

"I don't."

"Me either."

"I agree with them."

"Me too."

"Me three."

"I do too."

"I go with Molly on this." Arthur hugged Molly to him.

"Fine. I'll leave, I can tell when I'm not wanted." Sirius wrinkled his nose and walked away.

"We were kidding, Sirius!" Jo called after him. He didn't look back. Jo glanced at everyone, they glanced at her and smiled. Then they ran after Sirius and tackled him. "Are we forgiven?" Jo grinned.

"Are you gonna get off me?" Sirius's voice was muffled under their bodies.

"Maybe."

"Yes, now get off your crushing my ribs." He grimaced. They got up, and James and Remus helped Sirius to his feet. "Remind me never to run away from you guys, I think you broke two of my ribs."

"Men are such babies!" Jo, Molly, Ashley and Lily yelled. Half the common room turned to look at them, but quickly saw it was the 'gang' and went back to whatever they were doing.

"Oh, shut up." All the guys said. Just then Peter rushed down the stairs. Well, in Jo's thought he sort of waddled.

"Is it time for dinner yet?" He asked.

"Yeah. Come on Peter." And the group left.

"You'll miss dinner, Garrison." Amenia chided him from her bed.

"So will you." Garrison retorted.

"And they'll wonder why we're both not there." Amenia added.

"I suppose they will." Garrison nodded.

"And they'll come up here, and see us in here, and get the wrong idea about us. Molly already thinks we're secretly engaged or something." Amenia sat up and wrapped her arms around her legs.

"Well, I'll admit it's not a bad idea." Garrison sat down on the bed beside her.

"It isn't?" Amenia asked timidly.

"No." Garrison smiled. Amenia started to rub his back.

"You look tense." She massaged his neck.

"I am." He relaxed.

"We'd better get down there," She said again.

"We could." He said.

"Don't you want to see the result of their pranks?" Amenia moved to his lower back.

"Don't you?" He asked.

"I suppose. Aren't you hungry?" She kept massaging.

"Aren't you, Amenia?" He asked.

"Will you give me a bloody straight answer?" She moved to his shoulders again and relived her tension.

"Maybe." He smiled. He pushed her hands away and kissed her. "Come on."

"You've got to stop doing that. Someone will see it, and think we're dating again." She got up and smoothed the wrinkles out of her robe.

"Aren't we?" Garrison opened the door for her.

"You tell me," She sighed. Garrison, startled by her answer, said nothing. He paused awkwardly at the door, and then followed her down the stairs. They didn't talk, even when they reached the Great Hall, they didn't.

"Hey, Amenia it's your favorite. Lemon Chicken," Sirius moved the plate filled with yellowish colored chicken to her.

"Thanks, Sirius." She muttered, her voice soft. Molly gave her a quizzical look, Amenia swore sometimes Molly had ESP or was going to be a Seer because, Molly stopped looking and when Amenia looked up the next time Molly mouthed 'Talk to me about it later.'

"Garrison, who do you think will try out for the Qudditch team this year?" James started conversation.

"Me, You, Sirius and Remus should try, Amenia could, Molly if she liked to fly, Arthur, anyone?" Garrison moved around his mashed potatoes not eating.

"Whoa...time warp, what happened to Mr. I'm Qudditch Captain?" James asked, flabbergasted. Garrison shrugged his shoulders.

"Did you drink anything a Slytherin gave you?" Sirius questioned, his face serious. Jo giggled. "No, I'm serious."

"I'm sure you are, Sirius." Jo nodded.

"I am, Jo." Sirius smirked. "Did you?"

"No, Sirius. Now I came down here to get a laugh out of the Slytherins how come nothings happening?" Garrison asked, pushing around his mashed potatoes and finally eating a little.

"It won't happen until tomorrow. That is if all goes according to plan, and they take showers." James explained.

"And knowing the Slytherins it may not happen for another month." Remus joked.

"What were you saying about Slytherins?" Nellie glared.

"Go away." Ashley commanded.

"I'm in this house too, Morgan. Much to my disgust, but I am. Deal with my presence." Nellie spat as she sat down. Catherine, who was standing behind her, followed suite.

"So, Molly and Amenia...where are we going tonight?" Jo asked, ignoring Nellie's presence completely.

"Well, your dorms?" Molly suggested.

"They're going to be there," Jo indicated Nellie and Catherine.

"No we won't, Quinn. We're doing something important, unlike you. We'll be busy, and you won't. Anyway, have your little 'sleep over', and don't mess up our room. And when you talk about us, use our names, we are not to be referred to as your inferiors...because, we are your superiors." Nellie didn't look down at them as she said this.

"Fine," Ashley rolled her eyes. "Now, meet us there as soon as you have it."

"What's it?" Arthur asked, suspicious.

"You'll find out soon enough, Arthur." Molly grinned.

"Amenia, your still coming, right?" Jo directed her gaze at Amenia who was picking at her food and occasionally glancing up at Garrison. Garrison was doing much of the same, only he was being more obvious about it.

"Yeah, sure." Amenia said offhandedly. Everyone, minus Garrison who was already looking at her, eyed her and then went back to other talk. James favorite subject being Qudditch, Sirius and Jo thinking of new pranks, Lily and Ashley talking about 'that ghastly potion they had to make in Potions', Molly and Arthur cuddling and talking about how much they loved each other, Remus lecturing Peter on his Transfiguration notes, and Amenia and Garrison sitting in silence staring up into each others eyes for brief instances, and then looking away.

"Oh, Amenia...are you sure you love him?" Molly asked. Amenia had told her everything that she and Garrison had discussed that day, and her feelings about it, as soon as they got back from dinner.

"Yeah...I really think I do, Molly." She smiled. "How many beazors do we need?" She asked throwing some of the other ingredients into her bag.

"Seven." Molly handed her a jar filled with pickled pink slugs.

"Right," Amenia picked seven beazors out of a container and put them in a bag and stuck that in her bag.

"Amenia, do you think he really loves you? Or is he doing this because, he's upset?" Molly asked adding a pint of manticore blood to the bag.

"I thought he could be using me just for someone to kiss, or to let his emotions out on, but I've known Garrison since my first year here and I don't think he'd do that to me. I really, really don't. And Molly, I love him." Amenia sighed.

"And I thought I was madly in love with Arthur, man you've got it bad." Molly smiled. Amenia stared at her.

"You are madly in love with Arthur. You two are going to get married. Garrison and I are just going to love each other for the rest of our lives, and dream about getting married, but never do it because, we're to shy..." Amenia fumed.

"You've admitted to each other you love each other, you told me that much, why don't you start dating him again?" Molly cut her short.

"Ask him. Look, Molly I don't want to talk about this right now. We're going to have fun with the young ones, and then we're going to get a good nights sleep and we'll see what happens tomorrow morning when they prank comes into play." Amenia said defiantly. Molly shrugged and they finished packing and walked to the first years dormitories.

"You got the ingredients?" Lily asked as Amenia and Molly arrived at the door.

"No, twit we came over here for no reason. Yes!" Amenia said. Lily laughed and let them in. Jo and Ashley had set up a cauldron and opened the book with the spell written on it.

"Let's do this..." Jo smiled, mischievously. The four other girls broke into identical grins and they began work on one of the toughest potions to make.

"When's the next full moon? I want to look at it through my telescope that dad bought me." Byron Wills asked. He was the other second year boy in the Gryffindor second year dormitory.

"Tomorrow." Remus answered from his bed. He shifted uncomfortably and then muttered something under his breath. James, Sirius and Peter had become accustom to this, Remus had been doing it since they first met him. They all wondered why, of course, but they never said anything.

"I'm going to sleep," Remus drawled. After a few seconds he rolled over and shut his curtains.

"Remus has the right idea, I want to wake up bright and early to see what the Slytherins faces. Night all," Sirius jumped into his bed and laid down.

"I've got to study," Peter whined. He put his books on his bed and started to study.

"Oh, great. I have nothing to do." James sighed.

"You can play chess with me." Byron said happily.

"Ermm...no thanks." James nodded. Byron seemed highly upset, but went down to the common room. "I guess, I'll go to sleep too." James sighed. He walked over to his bed, undressed and dressed into his pajamas, and then went to his bed. Even if he complained he wasn't tired, as soon as his head hit the pillow he fell asleep.

"Molly is the potion supposed to be pink?" Lily asked. They'd been working on the Love Potion for the last two hours, and were all tired. Actually, Ashley, Lily, Molly and Amenia were tired Jo fell asleep about thirty minutes ago.

"No, it's supposed to be a dark red. Like blood," Molly turned and looked at the foaming pink potion. "Did you guys add the cup of dragon scales?"

"No, Jo had them." Ashley groaned. She walked over to the bed where Jo, innocently, was sleeping. She grabbed Jo's shoulders and shook her awake.

"What? Is the castle on fire?" Jo grumbled as she rose.

"No, idiot. Where's the dragon scales?" Ashley smiled.

"Here," Jo reached under her bed and grabbed the cup.

"Why did you have it under your bed?" Ashley asked as she put the dragons scales into the potion.

"I was scared that someone would take it. In my dream someone stole the dragon scales from us, and we couldn't do the potion." Jo admitted.

"If anyone stole the dragon scales they'd have to be a kleptomaniac. Now, Jo don't worry. We'll get this potion done." Amenia pretended as if she was talking to a child.

"And have some fun," Lily twirled as she reached for the banshee spit they'd have to add in a few seconds. Everyone laughed and they went back to making the potion.

"Caitlin!" Michelle Downs called her friend as she walked into the Ravenclaw common room.

"Yeah?" Caitlin glanced up from her Divination book.

"You'll never guess who wants to ask you out!" Michelle eagerly jumped down beside her. Caitlin looked uninterested and went back to reading. "Oh, come on just guess." Michelle pleaded flashing her pretty pale blue eyes.

"Umm...I don't know." Caitlin said, knowing Michelle would crack and tell her.

"Your no fun. It's someone you really like." Michelle batted her eyelashes again. Just then Caitlin's other friend Mary Johnson burst into the common room.

"Caitlin! Mark Bosic is going to ask you to come to Hogsmede with him!" Mary jumped over the couch and landed gracefully beside them. Caitlin often wondered how her friend could do all that, and last time she asked Mary claimed it was the gymnastics classes she took during the summer.

"I was gonna tell her!" Michelle scoffed.

"I know, but I couldn't wait to get it out. Are you gonna say yes?" Mary smiled, her wide smile.

"No," Caitlin shrugged. Michelle and Mary, who by the way are both boy crazed maniacs, looked at their friend as if she were crazy.

"Why?" They both nearly yelled at the same time.

"I don't like him," Caitlin sighed.

"What?" Mary asked, her face dropping.

"He's like a major hunk, how could you not be dying to go out with him?" Michelle asked, her mouth almost on the floor.

"There's more things to guys then looks, you know?" Caitlin said and then she got up and walked to her dormitory, with her friends staring after her.

"She's crazy!" Mary threw up her hands and lay her head back on the couch.

"He's gorgeous," Michelle laid her head on the back of the couch, too.

"If she doesn't want to go our with Mark, there must be another guy. We've got to find out who," Mary started.

"Mary, let's let her tell us. We get into her business to much already." Michelle cut her off.

"Maybe your right. Hey, if we tell Mark she's going to turn him down, do you think he'd go out with me?" Mary smiled. Michelle sighed and whacked her with a pillow.

"Are we almost...done?" Jo stifled a yawn.

"Yeah, we have to let it sit for thirty minutes and turn the fire off." Molly too yawned. It was now past midnight and they were all tired.

"Hmm...right. Come on, another half an hour won't kill us," Amenia sat down and laid her head on the edge of the bed.

"She's right, we'll just stay up and then go to sleep." Lily fell onto her bed. "Just a little more."

"So...what are you guys doing over Christmas break?" Ashley tried to start a conversation. Her way of thinking was, if they were talking they couldn't go to sleep. Then she thought, Jo could because, Jo talks in her sleep, but at least the rest of them would be up.

"I'm going home. We're having a big family reunion, and I'm being forced." Amenia told them.

"Sort of the same with me." Lily started. "Only there's no other family that'll be there. Petunia, Petunia's friends April and May, they're twins, and then all of their boyfriends. It's gonna be torture. Except, maybe Shira will be there."

"Who's Shira?" Molly asked.

"My best friend from Primary school. She thinks I'm in a private school, way up in the Swiss Alps." Lily answered. "I haven't seen her since before September."

"Awesome. I'm going home, a quiet family Christmas or something like that," Ashley grinned. "But, I don't want a quiet Christmas."

"Arthur invited me to his house, we're going to go skiing, skating and all the other stuff that muggles do. I've never done it before, but he promised to teach me." Molly blushed. "I can't wait."

"Lucky. I have to go home with all my annoying brothers," Jo sounded as if she was dreading the moment.

"You'll have fun. Picture your brothers as Sirius, Remus, James and Peter. And then think of all the pranks we can pull when we get back." Lily attempted to cheer her up.

"Good idea. Has it been a half an hour, yet?" Jo asked.

"Only like five minutes." Amenia looked at the clock on the wall.

"Drat!" Jo slapped her hand.

"Can we please go to sleep? Molly begged. It had been twenty minutes since Jo last asked.

"Five more minutes, and tomorrow we can sleep until noon. We're off tomorrow!" Amenia smiled.

"Good thing too," Jo sighed.

"Finally!" Lily shouted. She jumped up and turned the fire off. "Now, we sleep."

"Good night, you guys." Jo turned out the light.

"Night," Everyone echoed. As tired as they were it took them nearly two minutes to fall into a deep sleep. Everyone dreaming different dreams. Lily of what she and Shira were going to do when they got home, Ashley thinking of working with dragons when she got older, Jo dreaming of new pranks, Amenia dreaming about her and Garrison getting married, and Molly skating in a ice covered pond.

"I thought you said we weren't going to be here, tonight." Catherine whispered.

"Shut up, you twit!" Nellie hushed her. "I just want to see what they were doing." She quietly opened the door. In a dark shadow she could see five sleeping forms. Then a medium sized cauldron and a book stand holding a giant book. Nellie barely caught the title of the page 'Love Potion'. "Hmm...Catherine do you have any vials?"

"A little one," Catherine whimpered and handed Nellie a small vial.

"Good," Nellie snatched it. She stuck the small vial into the potion and filled it to the brim with the deep red liquid. "Let's see how our friends deal with this."

"Shouldn't we destroy the rest of it, Nell?" Catherine suggest timidly.

"I knew I brought you for something." Nellie smiled. Catherine, not that you could tell in the dark, blushed scarlet. "Let's see..." Nellie dug into her pockets and grabbed some snuff wood and dropped it into the cauldron. "And..." She grabbed the small bag of glimmer shade from Lily's night stand and dumped the whole bag into the potion. "That ought to do it."

"Good work, Nellie." Catherine whispered. Nellie smiled at her success and they walked out. "What are you going to do with it, Nellie?" Catherine began to speak regularly as soon as they were out of the dormitory, which still wasn't much higher then a whisper.

"Do you think Garrison is cute?" Nellie asked.

"Why?" Catherine sound shocked.

"Answer the question, twit." Nellie commanded impatiently.

"Yes, why?" Catherine asked.

"Because, tomorrow I am going out with him. She twirled the vial happily in her hand and smiled.

"Wake up, James!" Sirius whacked James in the head with a pillow.

"Prat! I'm up!" James jumped up as Sirius aimed the pillow again. He looked over at Remus and Peter who were dressing. "Did you get woken up rudely as well?"

"Yes, he dumped water on my head." Remus grinned. James now noticed Remus's hair did look wet.

"Get dressed!" Sirius commanded in a very general manner. James did as he was told. "If they get out there before us, I'll go crazy!"

"Your already crazy, Sirius." Remus smiled as he held open the door. They four marched out, and reached the common room, which was empty.

"I don't think they're awake," Peter yawned.

"Whatever gave you that idea, Peter?" Sirius retorted.

"I don't want to wait here an hour till they get up," Peter put his hands around his waist.

"Then we'll go up and get them." Sirius grinned.

"That's against the rules, Sirius." Peter told him.

"And when have rules stopped us before?" Sirius asked.

"Yeah, Peter. Remember our motto 'Rules are made to be broken.'" James added. Sirius rushed up the stairs, followed quickly by James and Remus, and then Peter who had given up trying to argue. Sirius eased the door open as quietly as possible.

"Aww... I swear, if I didn't know them, I'd say they were innocent." Remus smirked. Lily had her thumb stuck in her mouth, holding onto the covers for dear life, Ashley had a stuffed dragon she was strangling, Jo had a blue teddy bear wrapped up in her arms, and her hair was stuck out at all ends from her ponytail, Amenia had somehow managed to get her head at the foot of the bed and her feet on her pillow at the head of the bed, and Molly was holding onto the fluffy purple heart pillow Arthur had bought for her last Valentine's Day.

"Pictures?" James suggested.

"Most, definitely." Sirius agreed. Peter ran out, down the stairs and into their dormitory, he grabbed Sirius's camera from the drawer and ran back to the girl's dorm.

"Thank you," Remus said as Peter handed him the camera. Remus took two pictures, each from a different angle. Then James took one, Sirius took five (one of each girl), and Peter took one from the window ledge so you could see all of them from an sky view.

"Now, to wake up our friends." James rolled up his sleeves. He transfigured five of the socks laying on the floor into five buckets of ice cold water.

"That's mean," Remus smiled.

"It's horrible," Sirius agreed.

"I love it," Peter grinned. Remus picked up a bucket and stood in front of Ashley's bed, James took another and stood in front of Lily's bed, Sirius's took two and stood in the middle of Jo and Amenia's bed, Peter took the last and stood by Molly's bed.

"On the count of three. One..." Sirius started.

"Two..." James began swinging the bucket.

"THREE!" They all shouted. Then they dumped the buckets of water of their friends. The girls, all waking up instantly, from the cold screamed.

"I HATE YOU ALL!" Jo yelled.

"As soon as I get dried off I'm gonna kill you!" Amenia screeched.

"Evil!" Molly threw a pillow smack at Peter's head. He ducked and it hit the wall.

"That was so low!" Lily complained, hitting the wet sheets.

"Wait until I find a curse to get back at you!" Ashley bellowed. Jo jumped off her bed, and since Sirius was nearest to her, tackled him to the floor. She pinned him to the ground and held his head to the floor. "Go, Jo!" Ashley screamed support. Everyone else stood to watch.

"Sirius...if...you...ever...and I mean EVER....think about doing that again...you...and...your friends...no matter how much I love you four...are going...to have...you reputedly...slammed...repeatedly...into...the...wall. Do you understand?" Jo said calmly. She pressed her hand to Sirius's throat.

"Yes..." He squeaked. She let go, and started to get up when he flipped her over and now he was the one pinning her. "Compromising position, eh?" He held her arms down so she couldn't beat him senseless.

"I hate you, Sirius." She smiled, sweetly.

"Aww...,but I love you Jo." He grinned.

"Then get off me you, oaf." She stuck her tongue out at him. He returned the gesture, a normal thing for those two, and got off her. "Be a gentleman and help me up, Black."

"Alright," He grabbed her hand. He pulled her half way up before dropping her back, flat on her butt.

"As soon as the pain I'm feeling right now goes away, your dead." Jo glared. Everyone laughed. Lily and Ashley pulled Jo up and she smacked Sirius in the arm.

"Ouch!" He yelped.

"Don't ever do that again, you hear?" She snapped.

"I hear, but alas rules are meant to be broken." He smiled sweetly.

"Yeah, well break this one and I'll break your head." She glared.

"Careful, Sirius, she might do it too." James laughed.

"Watch it, James. You dumped water on me, and if you were anyone else you'd be dead right now." Lily responded. She had a temper, but it rarely got out of hand.

"Okay, boys out. We're going to go take showers and change and meet you in the common room." Amenia shooed them out.

"You need a shower after us dumping all that water on you?" Remus joked. Ashley pushed him out the door and locked it.

"With friends like that, who needs enemies!" She smiled. The girls gathered up some clean clothes, and their robes and walked to the bathroom to take a shower.

"I wonder what that cauldron had in it." Sirius said aloud as they walked out to wait in the common room.

"Probably hair dye." James guessed.

"Well, maybe. They'd tell us if it was something important, right?" Remus asked.

"Yeah. We're friends. We'd all tell each other if it was something important." James said, he focused on Remus. He decided something in his mind last night about Remus, but he didn't want to make any accusations if they weren't true.

"Of course," Remus shifted uncomfortably.

"I can't wait until breakfast!" Sirius exclaimed.

"And at least this time, he's not happy about food." James joked.

"Your going out for Qudditch today, right James?" Peter interrupted.

"It's only my life long dream." James sighed.

"And we know he'll make it," Sirius and Remus clapped him on the back together.

"Hopefully," James tried to be modest.

"Garrison's not only your friend, he knows your going to make it because, your good. No one else in Gryffindor's as good a flyer as you, or Garrison." Sirius smiled.

"Do you think we could do commentary?" Remus asked.

"Yeah. And we could sing James's praises," Sirius punched him lightly in the shoulder.

"Sirius Black...up, early?" Arthur Weasley's voice bounded into the common room. He and Garrison were standing on the stairs.

"Can't wait to see the outcome of their prank," Garrison stretched.

"Correct," Remus smiled as they came down the stairs.

"Where are the girls?" Arthur asked.

"Showering and dressing. We got some really good pictures of them asleep." James took the camera out of his robe and showed it to them.

"They're gonna kill you." Garrison sat down in a chair.

"You don't know the half of it," Sirius smiled.

"Oh, James about Qudditch tryouts today...not that you need any help, but..." And Garrison began giving him hints.

"I hate him," Jo said for about the five hundredth time.

"We know," Everyone else groaned.

"Just making sure," Jo shook out her wet hair. Water sploshed all over the mirror, and the other girls. Then she took a brush and started to brush it out as everyone else washed their faces.

"Are you guys going to watch Qudditch tryouts today?" Amenia asked. Everyone nodded. Jo grabbed Amenia's hair tie.

"Can I borrow this?" She asked. Amenia nodded, she couldn't talk because of the toothpaste she had in her mouth. She put her hair up into a messy bun.

"You and Molly are lucky. You guys get to go Hogsmede tomorrow." Lily said as she spit out her toothpaste.

"You guys will get to go in third year," Molly brushed through her auburn hair.

"But that's in two years," Jo huffed.

"Yeah, Jo. A real, long time." Ashley put a black headband on her hair.

"It is. Besides, Amenia won't be here when we can go." Jo fastened her robe.

"You guys will have fun without me. Remember there's never a dull moment with our magical mischief makers, around." Amenia smiled. Magical mischief makers was a name they had developed for Sirius, James, Remus, Peter, and when they wanted to be Arthur and Garrison.

"You have a point," Ashley smiled back.

"Everyone done? I want to get to the Great Hall early so we can see what happened." Jo jumped. Everyone walked out of the bathroom leaving their old clothes in the laundry bins.

"Good morning," Ashley called as they reached the common room.

"Morning. Hey, you guys don't look like drowned rats now." Sirius couldn't help it. Amenia and Lily had to hold Jo back from running down there are beating Sirius.

"As soon as they let me go, your dead." Jo called. They didn't let her go, not even when they sat on the couch.

"Let her go," Sirius said simply. That's when they did. Molly tossed her a pillow from Arthur's chair (she was sitting in his lap), and she beamed it at Sirius. It hit him head on. "You've really got to control your anger."

"Then stop making me mad," She wrinkled her nose.

"Come on, let's get down to the Great Hall." Lily suggested.

"Good idea," James jumped up.

"Hey, by the way what was in that cauldron?" Remus asked.

"Oh, a hair dye potion," Ashley lied.

"What color?" Remus could seem to sense she wasn't telling the truth.

"Blue."

"Green."

"Purple."

"Red."

"Silver."

"All five of those colors?" Garrison asked since they all answered differently.

"Yes, all five." Lily lied, through gritted teeth.

"What were you girls really making?" Arthur raised his eye at Molly, who eventually would crack.

"Put it this way, you guys will find out soon enough." Ashley grinned.

"Please tell us?" All the guys begged.

"You guys never tell us what your planning...usually." Lily said agitated.

"If we promise to tell you from now on?" James got on his knees and begged.

"What do you say girls?" Lily asked.

"You know you want to tell us," James shook his head.

"No, and we aren't going to." Jo said.

"Please?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Pretty, pretty, please with sprinkles on top?"

"No."

"I'll buy you a butterbeer each!"

"Okay..."

"JO!"

"All right, all right. I can't tell you because, they won't let me." Jo sighed.

"Fine, we'll find out sooner or later." Sirius said in retaliation. "And when your in third year, and we're in fourth I promise I'll take you to the Three Broomsticks, Jo."

"Thanks, Sirius. You're a real friend." Jo smiled.

"Your buying, of course."

"Hey!" Jo chased him down the short corridor.

"They amaze me," James mumbled.

"How so?" Amenia asked.

"They hate each other, and then he says 'I'll buy you a butter beer,' I can see it now. Those two are going to get married." He said loudly.

"We heard that James!" Jo and Sirius yelled. They were waiting for everyone at the other end of the corridor.

"You were supposed to," James joked as they met up with Jo and Sirius.

"Well, we aren't." Jo crossed her arms.

"I don't know Jo. Think of how mischievous our kids could be," Sirius looked thoughtful for a moment, then Jo punched him.

"Idiot," She mumbled.

"Come on, we're almost there." Lily started to walk faster.

"It's eight o'clock, Lily. No one's gonna be there yet." Molly noted.

"Point taken," Lily slowed. They quietly talked about how cool this prank was the rest of the way to the Great Hall. They reached it, and sure enough no one else was there. As soon as they sat down food appeared onto the table.

"I'm too excited to eat," Lily poured everyone some pumpkin juice.

"I'm not," Everyone else began to dig in. After a few seconds Lily decided that she wasn't that excited and dug in with everyone else.

"I can't wait," Amenia finished a piece of toast.

"Someone go wake them up," Ashley grabbed a few strips of bacon.

"Ok," Sirius got up.

"Si, I was kidding." Ashley told him.

"I'm serious. They'd better wake up soon or I'm going back to bed." Sirius sat back down.

"That's a good idea, Sirius. Your snores are sure to wake them up," James joked. Everyone, minus Sirius, laughed.

"Oh, really funny James. Really, funny." Sirius scoffed.

"Sorry, Sirius, you set yourself up for that one." James shrugged.

"Oh, shut up." Sirius smiled and began to eat some more.

"Look, it's people." Amenia pointed. Nellie and Catherine walked into the Great Hall, grinning mad about something.

"You guys...we're sorry about everything we've done. Lily, I'm sorry I called you a mud-blood, and I really mean it." Nellie rushed out as soon as they walked over.

"What?" Everyone said flat as ice.

"No, she like really means it." Catherine smiled.

"Ha, your kidding?" Lily looked at them with a blank expression.

"No." Nellie shook her head.

"No, seriously, your kidding?" Lily asked, again.

"No, I'm not. Lily, I am really, really sorry." Nellie sat down across from Lily and next to Garrison.

"Why?" Lily's eyes were untrusting.

"I just feel bad. I mean, the only reason I was doing it was for my family, and I really am sorry." Nellie smiled, as widely as she could manage.

"Okay. I guess, apology accepted." Lily shook her hand.

"I propose a toast..." Nellie began.

"To what?" Jo, still rigid, asked flatly.

"To Lily and I becoming friends," Nellie grinned. She grabbed the flask of pumpkin juice, as everyone handed her their goblets. Jo, even thought the must reluctant, gave it to her. No one noticed when Nellie's hand slipped some bright red potion into the goblet she held out for Garrison. And no one noticed the devilish smile on her face when she handed the rest of them plain pumpkin juice.

"To Lily and Nellie becoming friends," James raised his goblet.

"To mischief making," Sirius raised his.

"To love and high spirits," Molly did the same.

"To a marvelous day off," Jo raised hers.

"To good health," Ashley smiled and raised hers.

"To friends," Remus did too.

"To everything this world has to offer," Lily beamed and raised her goblet.

"To new friends," Nellie grinned.

"To life," Catherine said as she and Nellie exchanged grins.

"To finding love," Arthur's eyes focused on Molly as he held his goblet in the air.

"To Amenia, the love of my life." Garrison raised his high in the air.

"And to Garrison, the love of mine." Amenia nodded. Neither of the two saw the faces the others were giving them.

"Bottoms up," Nellie laughed. As soon as Garrison took a sip of his, his face turned a sickly pink and Nellie grabbed his face and made sure he was looking straight at her. Catherine was entertaining everyone else with a joke about Irish women, so Amenia was distracted, as planned. It took a few seconds for the potion to set in, but as soon as it did Garrison's eyes were only for Nellie.

"Nellie...I love you," He murmured. Everyone turned to look at him.

"What?" Amenia nearly dropped her glass.

"I don't know why it took me so long to see it. Nellie, you're the one for me. Amenia means nothing, your it for me." He stroked her cheek. Nellie, who was clearly enjoying the pain on Amenia's face, smiled.

"Garrison, I really don't know what to say." She blushed.

"Say, you'll go out with me?" Garrison wiped some of the pumpkin juice from her mouth away with his finger.

"Okay," Nellie smiled.

"I love you, Nellie Malfoy." Garrison kissed her. It was like someone had taken Amenia's worst nightmare and made it a reality. She felt the tears welling in her eyes as she ran from the Great Hall.

"GARRISON!" Molly's face was red with anger. Garrison, who was to love struck by Nellie, looked up to see her standing next to him. She placed a well aimed fist into his jaw. "This isn't funny. Stop joking and go after her!"

"I'm not joking, Molly. Nellie is the love of my life." Garrison swooned.

"GARRISON!" Molly yelled and prepared to hit him again when Arthur held her back.

"I know, Amenia, is your best friend, but you can't change his mind by beating him. Let him make his own choice." He whispered.

"Asshole," Molly screeched as she ran after Amenia.

"If this causes me to miss my prank, your dead." Jo threw her napkin at Garrison and then she ran after Molly.

"Bye," Ashley and Lily rushed directly after them.

"Why do girls always travel in packs?" Peter muttered.

"Shut up." James nearly hit him.

"Garrison...what's up?" Sirius looked disbelieving at what had just taken place.

"I love Nellie. Will you join me by the lake, my sweet?" Garrison kissed her hand.

"What about Qudditch tryouts?" James asked.

"What about Amenia?" Remus asked a second question.

"I will give all of those up...if only the lady fair will join me." Garrison kissed her hand again.

"Surely," Nellie smiled. He took her hand and lead her out into the hall. Catherine glanced once at the boys, and ran.

"What just happened here?" Sirius looked around.

"Amenia! Amenia, damn it, STOP!" Molly yelled as Amenia ran down hall, after hall. Jo was almost on her tail, but Molly who couldn't run to fast was no where near catching them. Just then Lily and Ashley ran ahead of her.

"That wench was up to something, it's not right." Ashley yelled as they ran faster. They ran a turn and saw Jo sitting with Amenia crying in her arms.

"Amenia..." Lily started.

"SHUT UP, LILY!" Amenia looked up and screamed. Her face was contorted into rage and fury mixed with tears.

"But..." Lily began again.

"Shut up, Lily." Amenia said, this time calmly.

"Okay," Lily sat down too.

"Why is he doing this to me?" Amenia asked. No one answered. "I mean, why?" Still no one answered. "This is not a rhetorical question!" She snapped.

"I have no idea," Jo answered truthfully.

"You said his parents died right?" Ashley asked.

"Yeah, why?" Amenia looked at her, as if this question was pointless.

"Maybe he wants to inflict pain on someone else for what happened to him." Ashley suggested.

"Why me? Why not someone he really doesn't like?" Amenia shot that answer now.

"Maybe, Nellie made a love potion." Lily suggested.

"She's to young. It took the three of you, and us to make it last night." Molly said.

"Her sister could have helped her." Lily added.

"Missy's only in third year, and it's pretty advanced magic. I mean, we shouldn't be able to do it." Molly contradicted.

"Maybe she stole some of ours," Jo thought.

"When? She said she was busy last night," Lily asked.

"Your to trusting, Lil. She could have gotten in there any time she wanted to and we'd never know it," Jo shook her head. "Dirty little..." Ashley stuck her hand over Jo's mouth.

"No. He just doesn't love me." Amenia stood up. "Thank you, you haven't helped much but knowing I have you guys as friends...it's comforting." She smiled. They all stood too, and she hugged them all. "I'm going to go study."

"You gonna be okay, Meana?" Molly called after her.

"Yeah." Amenia called back. No, Molly I'm not. You with your perfect boyfriend, and perfect life, we can't be friends. Right now, I can't stand anyone. And no, I'm not suicidal, Molly. Don't you dare come after me, I just want to be alone.

"I think she took the potion," Jo said as soon as Amenia was out of ear shot.

"Let's go to library. Hey, Molly how long would that potion have lasted?" Ashley asked.

"A month at the most," Molly guessed. She really had no clue, but if Jo was right she prayed it wasn't for long.

"Come on, we've got some research to do," Ashley said and they headed up to the library.

"What about the prank?" Jo whined.

"Do you want to see you cursed prank or do you want to help your friend. Besides, you'll be able to see it throughout the day unless they stay cooped up in their rooms for all eternity!" Lily stared at her.

"Do you think they will?" Jo asked.

"I don't think their coming," Sirius leaned back in his seat. The Ravenclaws, The Hufflepuffs, and the rest of Gryffindor were already at breakfast. However, the Slytherins, not a single one, had shown.

"Probably to embarrassed to show they're faces." Arthur thought logically.

"Oh...the doors are opening." James nearly fell from his seat. A formidable looking Professor Davidson walked in followed by the Slytherins. The boys faces seemed forced into a smile, and their mouths weren't moving. The girls hair was a striking hot pink, they were covered in huge red spots (from the itching powder), and they're mouths seemed stuck on scowls.

"We really need the camera," Remus couldn't help but laugh. James grinned wildly and took the camera from this morning out of his pocket. He climbed under the table so no one would see, and snapped a few photos. The entire Great Hall was shaking with laughter, except the Slytherins and a few of the staff. Even, Dumbledore seemed mildly amused at the sight.

"Who did this?" Professor Davidson addressed the whole Great Hall. No one answered, though everyone's eyes flickered towards the Gryffindor table at Sirius, James, Remus and Peter. All of whom were trying to control their laughter.

"Professor Davidson, I will give the culprits two days to step forward, if they have not done so by then, I will let you deal with them." Professor Dumbledore spoke to the whole hall, but his eyes to were flickering to the Gryffindors. "Students, two days and then I will allow Professor Davidson to do as will. Return to eating." Professor Davidson seemed like he was about to object, but lead his students to the table.

"How are they going to eat? They're mouths are stuck together!" Sirius nearly fell over.

"I have no idea," James laughed.

"You guys saw the prank, come on let's go find the girls. Plus, James you've got to get ready for tryouts," Arthur stood. The other four followed suite and they walked out of the Great Hall.

"Why are you girls in here so early?" Madam Prince, the Hogwarts librarian, asked as the girls walked in.

"We just want to get started on our homework," Lily smiled so sweetly. Madam Prince beamed at her.

"All right, dears. Let me know if you need any help," She smiled. Normally, she wasn't this nice to students, but Lily Evans and Ashley Morgan were the only people in the school she liked who weren't teachers.

"I think it's against the law for Garrison and Nellie to date. He's seventeen and she's eleven." Jo said as they sat down with several Potion books.

"Shut up, Jo. Let's look for information and then we'll talk about what's legal and illegal." Ashley handed everyone a book.

After a half an hour of flipping aimlessly through page after page, they still found hardly anything. Then, the boys walked in. Much to Madam Prince's protest they joined the girls at a particularly large table.

"What are you girls doing?" Arthur asked as they all sat down.

"Looking for something," Ashley said offhanded.

"Like?" Arthur continued. Sirius picked up the book Jo was reading a began to read aloud.

"'The darker the love potion the more potent it's effect. The darker red the longer the potion shall last. If your potion is light red, or pink it's effects shall wear off in days. The longest Love Potion ever recorded with one drop is seven years and six months.'" Sirius quoted the section.

"You girls made a love potion?" Remus asked, very surprised.

"Sort of. We were going to use if for a prank on the Slytherins, but you see... we think Nellie took some and gave it to Garrison." Ashley explained.

"And what does Amenia say?" Remus said.

"She said 'I don't think he loved me.' and walked away. Something's up, and I'm going to find out what." Molly glared. Even Arthur, who she'd never hurt on purpose, backed away.

"We'll help." Sirius grinned.

"You'd botch it up. Besides that answered my question actually. There's a colored chart in here to tell you how long it will last. Let's get to the dormitory and see." Jo grabbed the book. She handed it to Lily, who showed Madam Prince they were taking it on the way out. They walked up the common room, almost in complete silence until Jo found the urge to hit Sirius for some reason.

"Lemon Drop Lily," James said the password and they walked into the sunlit Gryffindor common room. The guys waited downstairs, while the girls rushed up. Molly was the first to reach the cauldron, and her face showed confusion.

"It's acid green," She stirred it.

"Why is it acid green?" Jo screamed.

"I don't know," Molly dropped the ladle she was stirring with.

"Why is it acid green?" Ashley just saw it.

"I don't know," Molly screeched. Lily turned around from where she had been, saw the potion, and screamed. That's when the guys rushed in.

"What happened?" Remus asked. Sirius eyed the potion intently.

"Isn't it supposed to be red?" He finally blurted out. "Or is it just a really different red, that isn't red at all and green?"

"SHUT UP SIRIUS!" All the girls yelled.

"So, what happened?" James sat down on Lily's bed. He was surprised to find it dry, after this morning, but decided that it must be the house elves.

"Nellie," Jo slammed her fist into the palm of her hand. Sirius breathed a sigh of relief that she wasn't hitting him.

"What?" Ashley asked.

"She could easily have gotten in here and switched the ingredients," Jo began to pace the room.

"After she took a little of the potion," Ashley snapped her hands. "We have to be right because, Garrison and Nellie? It's not working."

"Yes, but is there a counter curse?" Lily grabbed the book on the stand and started flipping to the index.

"Probably, but we don't know the color so we don't know the exact counter curse. What if this potion lasts for a while?" Molly said.

"You said it would only last for like a month," Lily gaped.

"I don't remember looking at the color, and I said should last for a month or so. Guys, what are we going to do?" Molly sat down.

"I don't know," Jo sighed. "We have to get Nellie back."

"We don't even know she did anything." Lily put the book down.

"Lil, your too trusting. That's not a good thing. She did it, she had to have." James patted her shoulder.

"Well, I could punch her." Jo offered.

"No, you won't." Ashley glared.

"Then what are we going to do?" Molly asked, again.

"Kill her," Jo suggested.

"Maim her," Sirius agreed.

"Curse her," Jo added.

"Those sound good to me," Sirius smiled.

I thought you were just a friend,

Someone I could talk to when I needed a shoulder,

Seemed like just another night,

Somehow you just happened by,

But you knew better,

I found out when we kissed,

And oh, just one little kiss,

And now I know what I missed,

Baby all my life I was not expecting this,

Now, you got me where I live,

With just one little kiss,

They say things we leave unsaid,

They just turn into regrets,

When nights get long and lonely,

Somehow baby you got through,

I've been waiting for you too,

I didn't know I found out when we kissed,

You think that loves forsakes you,

Then by surprise it takes a hold.

Amenia put down her quill. That makes me think of when we first met, Amenia thought. She laid back down on her bed, the diary she had been keeping tucked under her arm.

"Amenia!" Garrison called down the hall. He was one of her best friends, her brother had just been killed, and somehow he was the only one she told. "Wait up!" He called after her, juggling the multitude of books he had in his arms.

"What, Garrison?" She asked. She wasn't in the mood for his jokes, or anything. He smiled, and then kissed her.

"I've wanted to do that since last year," He grinned. She almost slapped him, but she liked the kiss and was happy he did it.

"Well,..." She started, but he silenced her.

"Don't say anything, Amenia." He smiled. "Come with me to Hogsmede, and we can talk about it then." And he bounded away. She wanted to yell after him and tell him that she couldn't wait until tomorrow, but she didn't want to sound stupid.

"Well you waited, and it happened. You fell for him, and thought he fell for you. I hate this," Amenia sat up. "I know you love me, Garrison. At least, I want you to." She wrapped her fingers around the silver butterfly necklace he had given her last year, and ripped it off, leaving a red line on her throat. She couldn't stop herself then, she cried. Cried as she hadn't when her brother died, cried as she wanted to this morning in front of Garrison, when Garrison confessed his love for Nellie.

"You guys, I hate to say it, but we've got to get out to the Qudditch pitch." Remus pointed to his watch.

"Yeah, we can't think like this. Maybe watching James fall on his face will cheer us up," Lily joked. They all knew full well that James would never fall.

"I'm going to go talk to Amenia, see if she wants company." Molly stood.

"No, Molly. She needs some time to herself, you can talk to her when we get back." Arthur told her. Molly, though she didn't want to agree with him, complied.

"Go get your broom, James. We'll meet you in the common room." Remus said. James ran to the boy's dormitory while the others went to the common room.

"All right, let's go." James said and they walked out to the Qudditch pitch. When they walked down they saw Garrison talking to the twenty or so other Gryffindors that were there, with Nellie on his arm.

"Good thing we didn't bring Amenia," Jo shot an evil glance in Nellie's direction. James walked over to the group and sat down on the grass, while the others walked to a seat in the stands.

"Okay, now. I'm sure your all very good flyers, but this is survival of the fittest. Now, Seekers in a line here, Chasers in a line here, and Beaters in a line, oh and Keeper right here." Garrison pointed to spots on the grass. "Seekers, the Chasers, Beaters and Keepers are going to test your ability to fly and catch." He dumped out a sack of golf balls.

"Well, the potion certainly hasn't effect his desire to win Qudditch this season," Sirius whispered to Jo, who snorted.

"Seekers, in the air." The ones in the Seeker line flew up about twenty feet. He handed everyone else something that looked like a hockey stick, and they took several golf balls each. "Fly." He commanded, and they went up in the air too. "Now, Seekers try to catch as many of these as you can." And Garrison moved out of the way to observe with Nellie.

"What's the point of this?" Lily asked.

"To test the Seekers reflexes," Remus answered. Only a third year caught nearly all of the balls. Garrison called them down again, and congratulated the boy on becoming Gryffindor's new Seeker.

"Now, Chasers I want you to race, six times, and the top three out of all those times will become the three new Chasers." Garrison said. The Chasers, which was the biggest line by far, lined up across a white line. Garrison took his wand, and raised it. "When I count to three, and my wand goes off, go to the other white line and come back." He counted to three and shot the wand off. The only person who out stretched James for speed was a fifth year the friends didn't know. He was first, followed by James, and then Frank Longbottom. They raced again, this time James was first, the fifth year boy second, and a third year the friends also weren't familiar with, in the next four races James was either first or second, followed by or behind the fifth year boy.

"Looks like James is going to make the team," Ashley stated.

"Potter, Fletcher, Longbottom. Congratulations you're our new Chasers." Garrison smiled at James, who couldn't return it. "Beaters..." The Beaters went up in the air. Garrison got out of the gold balls and sticks, and handed them to the others. He handed the Beaters they're special sticks and went back to the group. "I'm pretty sure all of you know what to do." He said, simply. Apparently, everyone did, the Beaters whacked the golf balls when they came towards them, and most of them did a very good job.

"Si, you should have tried out for this," Jo nudged him.

"So should you," He smiled. About five minutes later, Garrison blew a whistle.

"Okay. McKinnon, Rockwell, your our new Beaters. McKinley your our reserve. Thank you all for coming out today, it's good you show such Gryffindor pride. Now, I hope to see all of you at our first game next week against Hufflepuff. See you later." Garrison waved and then walked towards the lake with Nellie.

"Go, James!" Lily hugged him as he came over to where they were sitting. Sirius and Remus clapped him on the back.

"Way to go," Ashley hugged him.

"You did good, Potter." Jo also hugged him.

"Thanks, guys. Let's go get Amenia and we'll celebrate." James smiled widely. They all walked up to the castle, talking about what might happen in the upcoming match.

"Hey, Remus! We forgot to ask McGonagall if we could be commentators!" Sirius jumped.

"We can when we get upstairs." Remus sighed. "Actually, Sirius you can I'm not feeling to well. I think I'll go see Poppy."

"Want us to walk you?" Ashley simpered.

"I don't care, but I really feel...off color." He said. Everyone thought he did look a bit pale, but they didn't say anything.

"Ok, we'll walk you." Ashley smiled.

"All right," He said softly. They walked inside the large oak doors, and down the long corridor. They stopped outside a small room, and walked inside.

"Remus," Poppy smiled as he walked in. She started to say something else, but when she saw his friends were with him, didn't.

"Hi," He said.

"How are we feeling today?" She asked.

"Off color, a little sick. I don't feel well," He said as she ushered him to a bed in the back.

"Well, children I think you best leave." She turned to everyone else.

"Okay, bye Remus." Sirius smiled and walked out.

"Bye," James nodded.

"Bye, guys."

"See you when you feel better Remus," Peter grinned and followed the other two out.

"Feel better, Lupin." Jo hugged him. "I can barely stand those three with you, I don't think any of us could stand them without you." She walked out grinning.

"Bye, Jo."

"I'll make sure they get your notes for you Remus. And I'll make sure they're right. See you," Lily hugged him.

"Bye, Lil."

"Bye Remus," Arthur and Molly walked out. Poppy walked out to check on another student, leaving Remus and Ashley alone. Ashley reached in her bag and took out a book.

"Have a little bed time reading," She handed it to him.

"Than..." He looked at the cover. Werewolves, by Marian Sheen.

"Don't worry, Remus. I don't care, and your secrets safe with me," She hugged him. "I won't tell."

"How did you find out?" He asked.

"One, your always sick at the full moon. I mean, I've only known you for three months, but it's a little obvious. When you come back from the infirmary, your eyes are all dark, and you look pale. I asked James and Sirius, because they were worried about you the second time, they said you were sick a lot. I guess that's how anyway," She shrugged her shoulders.

"Ash, your amazing." He sat in disbelief.

"I know. But, Remus your going to have to tell them eventually. They're smart, they'll figure it out eventually." She told him.

"Yeah, I suppose your right."

"I usually am." She smiled. Madam Pomfrey walked in.

"Your going to have to leave, Miss Morgan." She waltzed over to the bed.

"Hey, Remus?" Ashley called as she was leaving.

"What?" He called back.

"Read it," She winked and turned the corner.

"I already know all about it, Ash." He put the book on his bedside table.

Bonus Note:

HmMmMmMmM...the song belongs to Lila Mc Cann, it's called "Just One Little Kiss." I don't know why I used it, just did. It worked, I think. Well, I think you should be reviewing instead of reading this....(sike! Well, you can.)
