After dinner Amber and Lily headed up to the Gryffindor Tower to get Amber's stuff for the night. Dawnelle had asked Lily to grab some stuff for her as well and promised she would meet them as soon as she had 'gone to look something up in the library'.

Amber and Lily sat in the common room on a big comfy sofa laughing as they imagined where Sirius and Dawnelle could possibly be at the current moment. They laughed even harder at imagining which teacher would find them this time, since just about every one of them had already chased them out of one classroom or another at some point over the last three years.

"What are you two laughing about?" James said as he entered the common room.

"Nothing we feel like sharing with you," Lily said icily.

"Oh, Evans, I'm hurt," James said, clutching his chest in a dramatic fashion.

"Get over it Potter," she replied simply. She got up with Amber and walked towards the small kitchen. They loaded their arms with junk food and walked back into the common room. On the way to her room the door to the head's dorm opened again. This time Sirius and Dawnelle walked through together. They were tangled in each others arms and were completely unaware that anyone else was in the room. Of course when you're sucking someone's face off that generally seems to be the case.

"Sirius… I have… to go… meet…" Dawnelle said between kisses.

"Yeah… you should… go…" he replied. We knew this could take a while so Amber took her wand out and smiled as she pointed it at Sirius' belt. The belt instantly glowed as it heated up to the burning point. Suddenly they broke apart as both yelled out in pain. Amber had snuck up to James who was staring at the pair in a bemused fashion. He didn't notice that she put her wand in his hand and pointed it at Sirius.

"James!" She exclaimed, making everyone turn to her, including him.

"Yes?" he said, puzzled.

"Dude! What are you playin at! You just burned me!" Sirius yelled indignantly.

"What? I didn't… it wasn't…" he realized he was holding his hand up and that there was a wand there. "This isn't my wand!"

"No really?! It's mine! Give it back now!" Amber yelled. Lily choked back laughter as James realized he'd been framed.

"Hey! You framed me!"

"Now why would I do that?" Amber asked sweetly.

"Yes, why would she?" Dawnelle added going to stand next to Lily.

"James, for one of the top students in this school, you really aren't too bright," Lily said, still trying not to laugh.

"Evans, you break my heart!" he said as he handed the wand back to Amber.

"Thank you very much!" she said smugly.

"James, once your heart is broken enough do you think you'll stop asking me out?" Lily asked. Sirius snorted.

"Well, since you just broke it, let me see…" he seemed to think about it for a minute. "You wanna go out with me?"

"NO!" She yelled in frustration. The three girls turned and disappeared into Lily's room.

"You know mate, I think she's warming up to you. She didn't threaten your manhood this time," Sirius said. James grinned as the girls door flew open again.

"And if you ask me again I'll make sure you never have kids!" she yelled and the door slammed shut again.

"On second thought, maybe not," Sirius added. James tackled him.

"Hey, grr off." He said as he tried to get himself out of James' head lock.

"Say uncle!" James said.

"No way!" Sirius pulled himself out and launched himself at James. Both landed in a heap on the floor. No wait. Not on the floor. They had unintentionally tackled Lily who was crossing the room to grab spoons for ice cream from the kitchen. She yelled as she fell to the ground with both boys on top of her. Though, to put things into perspective it would actually be a 6' 1" boy and a 6' 3" boy landing on a 5' 5" girl.

"Ouch! What the hell!" Lily yelled.

"Hey! How did you get there Lily?" Sirius asked.

"Sirius!"

"Wow, Lily I don't think I'll be able to be moved safely from here. I think you'll have to get use to it," James said, smirking. He twirled his hand in her hair.

"Over my dead body Potter! Sirius get him off me!"

"What? You heard the man! He can't be moved!" Sirius said as he rolled out of the way.

"James, if you do not move now my knee is going to be shoving your balls into your head." That got James moving pretty fast. He was off her and up before she could say another word.

"You are no fun Evans!" he exclaimed.

"James I could not breathe with you on top of me!"

"Do I smell that bad?" he asked, pretending to miss her point. She had sat up and was making sure neither of them had done her any internal damage.

"Yes," she said absentmindedly. Sirius, still on the ground, started kicking with laughter at this. Lily raised her eye brows.

"Sirius you look like a four year old," James said.

"And I suppose you both looked so mature as you attempted to tackle each other," Lily said. She stood up and glided over to the kitchen to get what she needed. As she reached her doorway she said, "could one of you please inform me the next time you're going to try and kill me so I can make sure to be absent?" She shut the door again before either boy could answer.

"What happened?" Amber asked as she looked at Lily's rather disgruntled appearance. They didn't hear anything since they had put silencing charms up so the boys couldn't eves drop.

"Oh, they decided tackling me was the way to my heart I guess. All they did was crush me… literally." Dawnelle raised her eyebrows. "Oh they were being boys, wrestling and the fell on top of me."

"Oh," Amber said. The three girls laughed. "So, how are we going to get back at James?"

"I have no idea," Lily replied. The girls dug into the ice cream and started contemplating ideas. After going through a tub and drinking a few butter beers they were considerably more hyper and their minds had strayed a bit.

"Let's make a list of the perfect guy!" Dawnelle said.

"Why would we do that?!" Lily asked

"Cuz it sounds like fun!" The three girls were sitting in their pajamas and completely enjoying their guy free night.

"Ok," Amber said. She grabbed a parchment and a quill. "Number one?"

"He can't be one of those boring guys who just gives into you for everything," Dawnelle said.

"Ok he has to have his own opinions," Amber said as she wrote.

"Oh, he can't be afraid to be with you around his friends," Lily added.

"Yeah, for sure!" Dawnelle agreed.

"He needs to be a good kisser! Like he has to literally take your breath away from you!" Amber said.

"Mmmm… Sirius is good at that," Dawnelle whispered.

"No hun, that's because you two don't come up for air enough," Amber said.

"Same difference!"

"Whatever, what's next?" Amber said.

"He needs to flirt with you even after you're going out. Otherwise it just gets boring," Dawnelle added.

"Ah! The truth comes out! That's why you never date anyone!" Lily laughed.

"No way! I date! Just, not recently," she replied.

"Yeah, why is that?" Amber put down her quill and looked at Dawnelle.

"Who knows? No one interesting I guess."

"You mean you've slept with all the interesting ones all ready?" Lily teased. Dawnelle blushed.

"No way! I'm not that much of a slut!" she laughed. "Besides Amber! You've slept with more guys then I have!"

"No way!" she exclaimed. Then she looked at Dawnelle and tilted her head slightly, "have I really?" Dawnelle laughed at her disbelief.

"Yup, you sure have. Though, not by much. You have three, I have two."

"Ah, but you have Sirius as one of those two!"

"Good point. Guess that means something huh?"

"Sure does!" Lily said. "Means there is no way you can not beat Amber, no matter the numbers."

"Yeah, but you seriously loose! You only have one!" Lily's eyes darkened.

"Yeah, and he broke up with me today."

"Actually, it was yesterday," Amber said looking at the clock.

"True that," Dawnelle added.

"Yup."

"Oh well. Another casualty in the war of James Potter I guess. I'm used to it by now."

"Ah, so back to our list. What's number 5?" Amber said.

"Hmm… well he needs to be understanding and sweet," Lily said.

"Yeah, Prince Charming," Dawnelle added.

"Ok, um, anything else?" Amber said, thinking.

"No! Let's call this 'The Top Five Things a Guy Can Do To Win a Girl'" Dawnelle said. Amber titled the parchment and set it down.

"Perfect!" she said.

"Girls it's almost three in the morning," Lily pointed out.

"Yeah, let's go to bed," Amber replied. They all grabbed blankets and crawled onto Lily's massive bed. Soon the lights were out and the girls were asleep.
