A/N: This is an interesting chapter. If I could sum it up in one word, it would be: Romangst. This chapter is filled with relationships and angst. I can promise you at least two different romance and angst scenes. I like the romance scenes; they made me feel warm and fuzzy. The angst scenes … well it can't be called Harry Potter without angst. Oh, I think I should warn you, while I was writing this I was in a very sweary mood. So there's some harsh swearing in this chapter, but it fits the mood, so I'm completely justified. Also, there is one part that really bother's me because of the "coincidental" entering time of a character. It's kinda soap operaish. It's all "When Joe comes into the room I want you all to leave." –Joe enters the room-. That sorta thing. Just bear with me, I needed to advance the plot.

Just because I feel like it, I'm going to point some things about James(jr) Potter that you don't know. It doesn't really have any plot significance … or does it …
Name: James Sirius Potter – I believe that Sirius deserves to have a kid named after him. I mean, SNAPE even gets a kid named after him. How's that fair?
Hair colour: Bright Orange – both his parents have red hair in their genes, so I think he deserves to have Ron hair. He's his uncle after all.
Eye colour: Hazel – He and James Sr. do have something in common.
Eyeglasses?: Yes – because I'm mean and have glasses, so I think he deserves them

Ok, I could keep ranting on, but at this rate my author's note will be longer than the chapter.

EDIT: In the original chapter, section one was an interration between Lily Evans and Remus Lupin. I had to change that because it occoured to me (while I was trying to get to sleep at 4:42am) that Remus thinks that lilyblossoms is Lily Evans, so the first section is obsolete. I think the edited version, although not as cool as the first, makes more sense.

Character list: Sirius Black - firewhisky4all, James(Sr.) Potter - stag-on-a-stick, Remus Lupin - howlingforchocolate, Peter Pettigrew - gryf1nd0rb01, Harry Potter - scarredforlife, Ron Weasley - keeping-score, Twins - Gred and Forge (because I haven't decided who's who yet), James(Jr.) Potter - bludgerwarning, Albus Severus Potter - next-great-headmaster, Lily(Jr.) Potter – lilyblossoms, Severus Snape – prince-of-potions, Avery – darkartist, Scorpious Malfoy – scorpionking, Teddy Lupin - teddybear, Hermione Granger – SPEW, Mulciber – greenblaze, Luna Lovegood – moonshine, Hugo Weasley – hunchback-of-hogwarts

not-a-flower: This is excellent. How did you find out about it?

arcturus: I overheard my former brother boasting about it with his friends

not-a-flower: Regulus, do you know how much this will help the prefects? We can find out pranks before they happen. And catch the students behind it.

arcturus: One problem, it will be hard to tell who the students are by their usernames.

not-a-flower: I'm sure Remus will help us. He'll use his connection with that Potter and find out everyone's usernames on here.

arcturus: It would be unlikely that Potter would know /everyone's/ usernames

not-a-flower: That's true, but he would know the most important ones. What is his username anyway?

arcturus: I'm not sure.

not-a-flower: I think we should be able to get that out of Remus as well

arcturus: Hopefully

mimbulus-mimbletonia has signed in

not-a-flower: Who are you?

mimbulus-mimbletonia: Me?

not-a-flower: As a Gryffindor prefect I demand to know who you are, and why you are on here.

mimbulus-mimbletonia: I'm Neville Longbottom, and I'm just occupying myself until class starts. I'm sorry, am I doing something wrong?

not-a-flower: Are you planning on meeting anyone in here?

mimbulus-mimbletonia: I was just hoping to run into one of my friends here.

not-a-flower: What's the name of the friend, and house?

mimbulus-mimbletonia: Luna Lovegood, Ravenclaw

not-a-flower: Just so you know, this messaging system is now being monitored by prefects.

mimbulus-mimbletonia: Ok, I won't use it anymore. I'm sorry. I didn't know it was against the rules.

mimbulus-mimbletonia has signed out

arcturus: Wasn't that a bit harsh, Lily?

not-a-flower: Do you know how disastrous this could become? Think of what the students could do!

arcturus: That's true.

not-a-flower: I want you to do some research on that Neville character. And I'll look into Luna

arcturus: I've never heard of either of them.

not-a-flower: I wouldn't be surprised. I don't know everyone in Ravenclaw.

arcturus: That is a good point. I'll try to find out who he is. He seemed as if you caught him in the middle of something.

not-a-flower: He did, didn't he?

arcturus: I've got to get read for DADA now.

not-a-flower: We can't be late for class. I will check in with you later. Bye

darkartist: What's the plan?

prince-of-potions: I'm going to "befriend" Potter

greenblaze: What?!

prince-of-potions: It's very simple. I'm going to get him to trust good old prince-of-potions, and get him to reveal substance about himself, and I'll use that information to bring about his downfall.

darkartist: So, how do we going about this?

prince-of-potions: Not /we/, I

greenblaze: That's not fair!

prince-of-potions: It's much easier for one to gain a person's trust compared to a shady looking group of three.

greenblaze: Oh

prince-of-potions: Now, once he reveals this information. I'll need both of your help to spread it around. Avery, you'll take the EM, and Mulciber, you'll take the halls.

greenblaze: Alright, sounds good.

darkartist: Prefect

prince-of-potions: If Potter comes online, sign out immediately. Remember his username is scarredforlife.

darkartist: Alright

scarredforlife has signed in

greenblaze has signed out

scarredforlife: Hello

prince-of-potions: Hello scarred

scarredforlife: Oh, it's you

prince-of-potions: I would just like to apologize for what I said to you the other day. I really don't know Potter. I should have never said those things, they were out of line.

scarredforlife: That's ok. I got carried away as well.

prince-of-potions: No hard feelings?

scarredforlife: I'm alright if you are.

prince-of-potions: That's good. So, what is up?

scarredforlife: I'm working on Slughorn's assignment.

prince-of-potions: The Befuddlement drought one?

scarredforlife: No, the Babbling Beverage one

prince-of-potions: Oh, so you're behind

scarredforlife: No, he assigned it yesterday

prince-of-potions: Nevermind. How is the assignment going?

scarredforlife: Awful. Slughorn was talking to me during the class we were supposed to make the potion, so I didn't have enough time to test it out. I have no idea what I'm going to write.

prince-of-potions: I don't want to make myself sound conceited, but I'm quite good with potions. I could tell you the effects, and what the user is supposed to feel.

scarredforlife: Could you do that really?

prince-of-potions: Sure, I've got nothing else to do.

scarredforlife: Thanks so much!

prince-of-potions: What is the problem?

scarredforlife: I need to know how the potion tastes and feels in the mouth.

prince-of-potions: The potion is supposed to taste slightly fishy. It is supposed to have the texture of spoiled milk and leave the throat feeling icy as it goes down.

scarredforlife: Thanks. Ok, what physical changes is the drinker supposed to feel?

prince-of-potions: The drinker is supposed to feel nauseous. His head begins to pound, and his vision begins to blur. Also, the baby toe on each foot begins to swell.

scarredforlife: Alright, what is the recovery like.

prince-of-potions: The potion lasts about 5 minutes. After that elapsed time, the drinker's eyes abruptly snap into focus, the nauseous feeling, and pounding stop. The swollen toes shrink back to normal size over a 5-10 minute time period.

scarredforlife: Thanks, you're a lifesaver. That's all I need. I'll add fluff to this later.

prince-of-potions: No problem

scarredforlife: It's a shame I have to hand this into Slughorn. I would have loved to shove this in Snape's face. Prove to him that I'm not useless in potions.

prince-of-potions: I take it you don't get along with him.

scarredforlife: The only ones that get along with him are the Slytherins because he favours them.

prince-of-potions: I'd like to remind you that I /am/ a Slytherin.

scarredforlife: Oh, right, sorry. He's just out to get me. I don't do anything to him, but he always wants to see me fail.

prince-of-potions: I'm sure he has a justified reason behind it.

scarredforlife: Yeah, a real good reason. He just hates me because of my family.

prince-of-potions: Is that so?

scarredforlife: Yeah. What really annoys me is that Dumbledore does nothing to stop his attacks. I swear, he's up to something evil this year, but no one believes me. I get the same answer every time: Dumbledore trusts Snape, so Snape must be good. Well, I don't care what the fuck Dumbledore says, I know Snape is up to something evil.

prince-of-potions: His attacks? Has it ever occurred to you that he might be the one being attacked?

scarredforlife: Hardly. Did you take DADA? If you did, you would see how smugly he sits in that class, as if he was God or something. I know he's planning something big.

prince-of-potions: I did take DADA. I have seen no such thing.

scarredforlife: Sorry, I got carried away. It seems every time we talk we get in an argument. I should be thanking you for helping me with my homework.

prince-of-potions: That is alright. I guess Slytherins and Gryffindors just aren't meant to get along.

scarredforlife: I guess so. Well, I'd better go finish this. Thanks again.

prince-of-potions: Good bye

greenblaze: What happened?

prince-of-potions: Well, I helped him with his potions homework

greenblaze: That's good?

prince-of-potions: Yes.

greenblaze: What else happened. I saw you give use the signal to get online.

prince-of-potions: Well, Potter believes that I am attacking /him/ and not the other way around. And apparently he has talked about this with Dumbledore.

greenblaze: That coward

darkartist: What a worm

prince-of-potions: according to Potter, Dumbledore doesn't take him seriously

darkartist: and he shouldn't

prince-of-potions: He also thinks that I "sit smugly in class as if I think I'm a God"

greenblaze: What are you going to do about that?

darkartist: I say we hex him in the halls

prince-of-potions: We won't do anything

greenblaze: What!?

darkartist: We can't let him get away with things like that.

next-great-headmaster: What is he saying?

lilyblossoms: He asked me to go to Hogsmead with him.

next-great-headmaster: That's not so bad

lilyblossoms: You don't understand, he asked me out on a date.

next-great-headmaster: On a /date/ date?

lilyblossoms: Yes. And he was professing his love to me. And his friend was there.

next-great-headmaster: That's low

lilyblossoms: Yeah, and he friend was making suggestive comments

next-great-headmaster: Do you want me to talk to him about it

lilyblossoms: Yes. I told him that I was going to tell you.

lilyblossoms: Oh, got tired of the other username, James?

lilyblossoms: Why the sudden change? Got bored of the other one?

bludgerwarning: Huh?

lilyblossoms: Don't play stupid with me, James.

bludgerwarning: What are you talking about?

lilyblossoms: Oh, I see, now that you don't have your friends around you don't need to put on a show.

bludgerwarning: huh, what show?

lilyblossoms: I can't believe you!

bludgerwarning: What did I do?

lilyblossoms: As if you don't know

next-great-headmaster: Lily told me everything. That's low James.

bludgerwarning: I honestly have no idea what you are talking about. Tell me what I did?

next-great-headmaster: James, just own up to it.

bludgerwarning: You know what she's talking about?

next-great-headmaster: Yes, and I think you should stop it. She's really upset.

bludgerwarning: Would someone just tell me what I did?

lilyblossoms: Does stag-on-a-stick spark your memory?

bludgerwarning: Is it supposed to? Did I forget your birthday or something?

lilyblossoms: How can you just sit there and deny everything?

bludgerwarning: It would be nice to know what I did! Maybe then I could apologize for what ever it is.

lilyblossoms: I don't even want to talk to you now.

next-great-headmaster: Can't you see Lily is upset, James. It's not funny. Just own up and apologize.

bludgerwarning: What did I fucking do?!

next-great-headmaster: Lily, tells me that you've been hitting on her around your friends.

bludgerwarning: What are you talking about? I don't even go near Lily during school. I bumped into her once in the common room. I asked her how her first day back was. Is asking someone how their day was now considered flirting?!

lilyblossoms: Not in person, over the EM! I can't believe I even have to spell this out for you.

bludgerwarning: What are you talking about? I haven't even been online at the same time as you since back at the house.

lilyblossoms: You liar!

lilyblossoms(to next-great-headmaster): Albus, can I meet you somewhere?

next-great-headmaster(to lilyblossoms): Sure, Lily, where do you want to meet?

lilyblossoms(to next-great-headmaster): Anywhere

next-great-headmaster(to lilyblossoms): How about the 7th floor. At the memorial where the room of requirement used to be? No one ever goes up there.

lilyblossoms(to next-great-headmaster): Fine. I'll meet you there in a little bit. Thanks. Bye.

hunchback-of-hogwarts: Why are they ganging up on you

bludgerwarning: I don't know. They say I've been hitting on Lily. Why would I do that? She's my /sister/. My /little/ sister!

hunchback-of-hogwarts: What did you do to make them thinks that.

bludgerwarning: I don't know! I asked her how her day was. Apparently that's a big offence now!

mimbulus-mimbletonia: I'm not sure we should be on here

moonshine: Don't be silly.

mimbulus-mimbletonia: you weren't online earlier, it was scary. There was a prefect on here and he was yelling at me to get off.

moonshine: That's not very nice. Who was this prefect?

mimbulus-mimbletonia: I don't know. They said they were from Gryffindor, but I don't think it was Hermione or Ron.

moonshine: I don't think Hermione likes me very much. She's always frowning, and saying that wrackspurt don't exist.

mimbulus-mimbletonia: I'm sure Hermione likes you. Who doesn't like you?

moonshine: Oh, loads of people. I could probably fill a whole issue of the Quibbler with people that don't like me. A lot of people think I'm weird.

mimbulus-mimbletonia: If it makes any difference, I like you and I don't think you are weird.

moonshine: Really? That makes a big difference. As long as my friends don't think I'm weird, I'm happy.

mimbulus-mimbletonia: I was –um- wondering if you wanted to, you know, go to the next Hogsmead outing with me?

moonshine: I've never been asked to go anywhere with anyone before.

mimbulus-mimbletonia: If you don't want to I understand.

moonshine: Neville, I would love to go :)

mimbulus-mimbletonia: Really?

moonshine: Oh yes. I would really like to go. I should tell Father, he would be quite happy that I finally got asked out. Would you become my boyfriend? That would make him really happy

mimbulus-mimbletonia: Luna, you want to be my girlfriend?

moonshine: Is that a bad thing? I always thought that when people were really good friends they became boyfriend and girlfriend.

mimbulus-mimbletonia: I just never thought that you would go out with me.

moonshine: Why wouldn't I? I think you're very much like me. Most people think we're weird, and we aren't included in a lot of plans. We should stick together.

mimbulus-mimbletonia: So, do you want to meet up somewhere now?

moonshine: Yes, I would. Do you want to meet me in the owlry? I need to send Father an owl telling him about the good news. Then, can we walk around the school holding hands?

mimbulus-mimbletonia: Ok, I will meet you in the owlry. And we can hold hands.

moonshine: Ok, I will see you then. Bye … boyfriend :)

lilyblossoms: Hello

peskypixies: I just made an account today. I heard some older students talking about it. How are you?

lilyblossoms: Awful

peskypixies: Aw, what's wrong?

lilyblossoms: My brother is being a jerk to me.

peskypixies: Is he older or younger?

lilyblossoms: He's older than me.

peskypixies: I'm an only child. Which is nice sometimes, but other times it boring. What did he do?

lilyblossoms: He keeps embarrassing me in front of his friends.

peskypixies: That's not very nice. You should tell him to stop.

lilyblossoms: I did! But that just fueled him even more.

peskypixies: Did you talk to him about it?

lilyblossoms: Yes, but he denied everything. I don't know what to do.

peskypixies: I think you should make his hair pink while he's sleeping. That should embarrass him in front of his friends.

lilyblossoms: Hehe, you're funny. It won't make much of a difference though. His hair is bright orange.

peskypixies: Do you have red hair too?

lilyblossoms: Yeah, but it's not as bright as his. It's more of a deep auburn colour. His is just icky orange.

peskypixies: That sounds pretty.

lilyblossoms: Do you mind if I ask if you are a boy or a girl?

peskypixies: I'm a boy. I can assume that you are a girl.

lilyblossoms: Yes. What colour hair do you have?

peskypixies: I've got sandy blonde hair

lilyblossoms: That sound nice.

peskypixies: Not as nice as your hair.

lilyblossoms: Thanks :)

peskypixies: You're welcome. Are you feeling better now?

lilyblossoms: Yeah, I am. I feel better talking to you.

peskypixies: I'm glad you do. What are you doing?

lilyblossoms: I'm not doing anything, really. I'm just sitting in on my bed talking to you.

peskypixies: That's cool.

lilyblossoms: What are you doing?

peskypixies: I'm talking to the nicest girl I've ever met.

lilyblossoms: Do you really think so?

peskypixies: I know so.

lilyblossoms: Can I ask your name?

peskypixies: My name is Gilderoy. I'm in Hufflepuff, and I'm a 4th year.

lilyblossoms: Like me! I'm in fourth year too, but I'm in Gryffindor. I think your name is pretty. I remember my dad telling me about a Professor he once had named Gilderoy, too.

peskypixies: Thank you. May I ask you your name?

lilyblossoms: Oh, sorry. I'm Lily.

peskypixies: What a pretty name.

lilyblossoms: Thank you.

peskypixies: The lily is also my favourite flower.

lilyblossoms: Mine too! I wonder if we have any classes together.

peskypixies: I don't know. I don't think I have any classes with the Gryffindor's this year.

lilyblossoms: Oh, darn.

peskypixies: Maybe we should meet. How about tomorrow for breakfast?

lilyblossoms: That sounds perfect. How about 8 o'clock?

peskypixies: Sounds lovely. I will meet you at your table.

lilyblossoms: I can't wait to meet you tomorrow.

peskypixies: Here, so you can be sure it's me, I'll send you a picture.

peskypixies has sent lilyblossoms a photo-message

lilyblossoms: You're really cute. Here I'll send you a picture of me.

peskypixies: You are as beautiful as I had imagined, and then some.

lilyblossoms: Thank you :)

peskypixies: You're welcome, pretty lady.

lilyblossoms: I would love to stay and talk to you more Gilderoy, but it's getting late.

peskypixies: It understand, you must get your rest. I will see you tomorrow at 8.

lilyblossoms: I'll see you tomorrow. Oh, thanks for making me feel better.

peskypixies: It gives me great pleasure to know that you are happy. Good night, Lily. –blows a kiss-
