The next couple days went by slowly for all of them. The Marauders decided to pull pranks on the Slytherins like CRAZY due to they wouldn't be around to pull them for a long time. The last prank left Snape going bald...
"We need a new prank...something...BOLD!" Sirius said jumping in the air. As he did this however an ink bottle flew up and landed on Remus's head.
The others laughed at Sirius trying to mop Remus's head with a rag. Remus finally got irritated and pushed Sirius away and tapped his head, muttering a spell. The common room was fairly empty with just them and Peter in the corner doing a Potions essay.
"You know, you guys really should be packing." Lily said to the boys rather bossily.
"Calm down Lily. They have a little bit of time." Marisa said while idly making little rings of smoke coming out her wand.
Suddenly a great, big, FAT, grey cat jumped on Marisa's stomach, making her drop her wand and making water blast James full in the face.
"Smokey!" Ashley shouted. She picked the cat up with a difficulty. "I swear! This cat only eats and sleeps!" She hoisted her cat up on her shoulder and carried it up the stairs.
"I don't now why she brought her cat. She should have bought an owl." Marisa said shaking her head.
"I heard that!"Ashley said from the stairs. When she came down she said,"Well I love my cat! You love your dogs too much! You tried to smuggle them into your school trunk!"
"Yeah...Probably would have gotten them in too if they didn't start barking like mad when I tried to shove them in." Marisa said shrugging. The rest of them roared with laughter.
"You know, you sound exactly like Sirius. You guys say the same kinds of things" James commented.
"No we don't!" they both said at the same time.
"Don't do that!" again they say together.
"AGH!" they both said while turning there backs on each other. The others were in stitches from laughing so hard. After a while Marisa and Sirius turned back towards each other and smiled and laughed with the rest of them.
"Ok you guys really do need to pack now." Lily said sternly.
"Yes, mum."James said sarcastically. They went up the stairs and left the girls alone in the common room.
"RISA!" Ashley half whispered, half screeched.
"WHAT!?" Marisa said looking alarmed.
"You and Sirius! You can totally tell that you guys like each other!" Lily exclaimed. Marisa looked at them like they were crazy.
"You guys are taking the mickey!? He does NOT like me!" She whispered with a small blush on her face.
"Uh-huh and I'm Luke Skywalker."Ashley said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Who?" Marisa asked questioningly.
"Never mind." Ashley said quickly. Marisa was pureblood so she didn't know muggle movies, but Ashley was half blood and her dad watched Star Wars a lot. Lily however WAS muggle born so she laughed at the joke.
"Well I'm going to double check if I need anything else!" Marisa said in a huff up the stairs to double check her packing┘ but Ashley and Lily stayed behind.
"So are you ok with being at least friends with James?" Ashley asked nervously.
Surprisingly Lily smiled and said, "Actually yeah...I even kind miss him asking me out."
Ashley raised her eye brows in surprise. Lily looked shocked herself that she said that.
"I--Uhh--ummm. I'm going to go see what Marisa's up too."Lily said quickly.
She left Ashley by herself in the Common room. "Well this is going to be interesting."she muttered to herself .
