I know so far that Lizzie has had nothing but bad luck, but it's only just started. It will get better so just give it sometime.

I own nothing but Lizzie!

Chapter seven- Visitor.

-Lizzie's POV-

I scowled as I rolled over thinking about the embarrassment I was going to receive from the prank Sirius pulled on me yesterday. You know, I'm just not going to go I thought to myself. It's not like I'll miss anything, I'm a good student I can catch up. I put my pillow over top of my head to try and drain the noise of my dorm mates as they started to get ready. Hopefully no one will wake me and just leave me alone to sleep. Suddenly all the noise stopped and I lifted my head and looked around and found that no one was in here. YES! I thought to myself. I curled up into a ball and sighed as I tried to fall back asleep.

The next thing I knew Lily was shaking me awake. I rolled over and raised my eye brow at her.

"Yes?"

"Don't hex me I'm only the messenger. I was sent up here by James, and he told me to tell you, no to order you to get your arse down stairs to breakfast. And that you better not make him come up here because he will force you out of bed and drag you to the Great Hall." She said in a rush.

I sat up blinking wildly. "Yep, that sure sounds like him." I got up and started getting ready.

"I thought you were going to put up more of a fight." She said sounding genuinely surprised.

"Nah, It's pointless getting James up here because he really will do what he says." She smiled at me.

"Are you okay? I came after you yesterday but James told me I wasn't allowed to see you." I laughed at the sour expression on her face.

"Ah don't worry I'm fine, James was just looking out for me." I walked into the washroom and washed my face before pulling my hair back into a little French twist with hair framing my face that wouldn't stay back. I got into my robes leaving the cloak off and walked out to me Lily.

"Ready." I said reluctantly. She smiled reassuringly at me, before we began to descend down the stairs. We reached the common room and I wasn't surprised to find the boys waiting for us. James kissed Lily when she reached him, and kissed my forehead.

"Hey Lizzie, Hey Lily!" Remus greeted us both with a hug, and a kiss for me on my cheek. I greeted Peter and looked towards Sirius slowly. He offered me a small tentative smile. My own lips twitched in return.

"Hello Sirius." I said softly. I saw James grin out of the corner of my eye. I made a note to question him about that later.

"Hello Princess." I shook my head at the nickname laughing a little. I was surprised to find that the nickname didn't bother me anymore now that I decided it was time for forgive him. "I mean, Elizabeth." He said.

"It's okay I can deal with Princess." I told him. This time he grinned at me and nodded.

"Well shall we go?" Peter asked. We all made our way to the great hall and stopped short before entering it.

"Lizzie." I heard Remus say. I looked at him nervously.

"You know, I don't think this is such a good idea maybe I'll just go back to the common room."

"I don't think so." James said tugging on my arm to pull me forward.

"No really, I-uh-urm Forgot my potions book. Yeah that's it. So if you'll excuse me." I said breaking the James' hold on my arm. They were all laughing at my escape attempt. I felt arms go around my waist and pull me back.

"Let me go Remus!"

"Oh don't be such a baby. Come on." He put his hands on my shoulders and led me into the Great hall. Lily and James in front of us, with Peter. Sirius was standing next to me. As we walked to our spot at the table I could feel everyone's eyes burning into my back. I walked with my head down and sighed in relief as we reached our spots.

"Thank merlin that's over." Lily rolled her eyes at me.

"Oh honestly. It's not that bad I always got up and walked in here after the horrible pranks James has pulled on me." I snorted at her. "What?" she asked.

"Oh come on Lily! Do you know how many times I had to hex you before you'd walk into the great hall? My favorite time was when I gave you green freckles to match your green hair." James spit out the pumpkin juice he was drinking.

"That was you?" he asked laughing hysterically.

"Well yeah, I told her I'd change her whole skin color green if she didn't go to breakfast."

"Nice one." Remus told me. We were still laughing when Alice and Frank showed up, hand in hand.

"What's so funny?" She asked sitting down.

"Oh just telling them about the time where I hexed green freckles on Lily." She suddenly burst out laughing.

"Oh damn, that was such a good time. Do you remember when I had to literally drag her by her arm into Potions after James put that thing in cereal that gave her boils?" I laughed again along with everyone else.

"Okay, enough laughing at my expense." Lily told us. "Anyway so I notice you and Frank eh?" Alice suddenly turned a bright shade of pink. Frank rolled his eyes at her, and grabbed her face and turned in his direction, and kissed her in front of everyone. I grinned as I watched this. When they pulled apart he had a smug look on his face and she was blushing worse than ever.

"Damn it's about time, I was getting worried you two would never realize it." I told them laughing.

"Well were not the only one that didn't realize it." Frank said pointedly staring at Lily and James.

"Hey! Don't give me that look. I realized it." He looked at Lily and said "She didn't."

"Oh give me a break, what is this? Tease Lily Day?"

"Of course not Flower, but don't worry about them because I love you!" Sirius told her giving her a kiss on the cheek. She rolled her eyes at him.

"Yes, Sirius I love you too." she smiled.

I walked in to Potions class and took my seat next to Remus and Peter (Now thankfully that we didn't have partners).

"I heard from the Chang, the ravenclaw prefect that we were starting a new project in Potions that was going to last us until past Christmas, and that it may even take up the whole rest of the year!" Remus muttered to me.

"What?!" I questioned, surprised. "I swear if he puts me with someone like Clancey I'll have his head!"

"I know, it was terrible working with Snape! Especially since, he knows. You know."

"Terrible git." I said. I wasn't sure if I meant Sirius, or Snape. Seeing as Sirius just had to go a play that prank on him. Thank merlin for James because Snape would have been dead, not that I care much about him but I would care what it would have done to Remus. That was the biggest fight me and Sirius got in. Words couldn't have explained how mad I was.

"Talking about Sirius or Snape?" I laughed.

"I was actually just thinking about how I wasn't sure which one I was talking about. I guess I'll just go with both." Peter laughed.

"Sounds reasonable."

Slughorn walked into the room smiling. What else is new? "Good Morning!" he said loudly. I sighed and leaned my head on my hand. "Today I will be assigning you partners." He stopped when the class groaned loudly. "Oh it won't be so bad. These partners you will have for the rest of the year. Were you will be brewing an assortment of different types of potions." He finished happily. Remus and I exchanged a look. "You know, I think I'm just going to keep the same partners as I gave you before. You all did rather well on your potions."

I raised both of my eye brows. Work with Jessica Clancey til the end of the year?! He must be joking. Sure, we got a good grade on our potion mostly because of me, but we also got in 3 more fights after our big fist fight. Was he seriously going to put us together?

"Well get a move on." I mouthed "help" to Remus but he just shook his head smiling. "Traitor!" I said louder to him. I walked slowly to her table and dropped down into the seat next to her.

"You know, I should tell Black thanks for yesterday. It was quite intertaining." Without waiting for my reply she yelled out "Black!" My eyes sought Sirius as he turned his head and looked towards us.

"What Clancey?" He asked rather rudely. Not that I was complaining.

"Thanks for yesterday." When he looked confused she added on, "You know the prank you pulled on Rouge it was brilliant and it might have made my day. Especially the part where Wittle Wizzie, ran out off the hall wike a baby." She said mocked in a baby voice. Sirius looked towards me waiting for my reaction. I stood up quickly and pulled out my wand. "Gonna Hex me mudblood?" she asked laughing.

Instead of hexing her I screamed "Go to hell Death Eater!" The room got extremely quiet and I could feel all eyes on me.

"That's it. I had ENOUGH!" Slughorn yelled. "I can't deal with this the whole rest of the year." He turned towards Sirius. "Switch partners."

Sirius stood, his eye brows raised. "You want me to work with Clancey?" he asked in disbelief.

"Of course not I wouldn't be so stupid as to put you two together. You're working with Elizabeth." I watched as he sighed in what looked to be relief.

"Good." He said. Then turned to me, "Well come on then Princess." I started walking to him, I had my wand still out and when Clancey went to sit down, I flicked my wand and the seat moved making her fall on her butt. The class burst out in laughter. I finally reached Sirius.

"Nice one." He told me giving me a tentative smile.

"Thanks." I replied. "Well at least it's only you I have to work with." He nodded in agreement. We worked mostly in silence on our potion which turned out to be Poly Juice Potion. Seeing as we've brewed this potion before (illegally) it was quite easy and required little talking.

When class was dismissed I gathered my books together and waited in the hall for my friends before heading back to the common room. James smiled when he reached me and whispered something in Sirius' ear. Sirius obviously didn't find it too amusing for he just brushed off the comment. Which made Remus grin as well. Hmm, we have some talking to do it looks like I thought.

Time, moved quickly in our seventh year and I already found Christmas break approaching. Actually it was more than that, it was three days away. Remus and James were pointedly ignoring me when I questioned them about the looks they've been giving me and Sirius. Especially in Potions now that we're partners. It frustrates me but what can I do, either way they don't answer me. Even when I give my famous pout. They just look away so they won't give in.

Sirius has also been acting weird. He hasn't once made a rude remark to me or played a prank. He's been polite, and I'd even go as far as saying he's been nice to me. I also even go further in saying that we're actually sort of friends. Which actually doesn't bother me I've grown used to his company and found that I rather like having him around whereas before he was a huge bother.

I was sitting in the Gryffindor common room with Lily and Alice when the marauder's as they call themselves and Frank walked down the stairs. James and Frank immediately went their girlfriends. Remus sat in the arm chair with me, Peter took the other, and Sirius sat on the floor. Remus leaned over and whispered "Ready?" In my ear. I tried to hide my grin as I thought of what we were doing tonight. Sirius who heard what Remus asked, grinned up at me, and I found myself grinning back.

"So Lily," James began loudly. "I know that you uh- wanted to hang out later but well, Remus, Sirius, Lizzie, Peter and I kind of have something planned."

"James has no tact." I snorted. Remus and Sirius burst out laughing. James glared.

"Oh really? And would this have to something to do with your monthly disappearances?" Me and the boys minus frank visibly stiffened. Lily's been questioning that lately.

"No. It wouldn't" James told her seriously.

"Oh, okay then." She said nonchalant. "Go I don't mind." I shot James a look when he opened his mouth. He closed it and shrugged his shoulders.

Everyone else went to bed except James, Sirius, Peter Remus and I as we sat awake waiting for the perfect time to leave. I was curled up next to James on the couch and he had his arm wrapped around me.

"Is it time yet?" I asked for only the hundredth time. James made a big show of rolling his eyes, just like Lily I thought and then stared at the clock.

"Well I guess so." I jumped up and pulled me with him. Sirius grabbed the cloak off the couch and handed me the map. Peter transformed and jumped into James waiting hands. We all squeezed under the cloak and made our way to the Ravenclaw common room. The quidditch game was for tomorrow and we planned to dye the whole house of Ravenclaw's hair scarlet and gold. Sirius, James and I were all members on the team, oh yeah and Frank. Me, being the newest member. James forced me. When we reached the eagle knocker we took the cloak off.

"What is love?" it asked.

"Love is evanescent." I replied. The knocker thought about it over for a second before replying.

"Well reasoned, though I must say that it a very morose way to live."

I heard Sirius asked Remus a question but I couldn't make out what it was, but I did hear Remus say that he would tell him later. The door swung open and I went inside the boys on my heels. The dome common room was empty, the fire was still burning making that the only sound being heard. The whole room was midnight blue, and had a great view of the mountains. The ceiling had stars covering it and there was a huge marble statue of Rowena Ravenclaw.

"It's beautiful." I said quietly.

"Yeah." James agreed with me. James handed out the dye to all of us and we all slipped in and out of different rooms putting the dye in their shampoos. This dye was charmed not to wash out for a whole week. We met back up in the common room a half hour later all of us bursting with silent laughter.

"This is gonna be brilliant." James whispered.

"It sure is Prongsie. I can't wait until tomorrow."

"Agreed Black." I said laughing.

"Oh come on you three, you're going to wake up the whole tower!" Remus whispered to us.

"Oh alright."

We again got under the cloak and made our way to Gryffindor tower. The walk back was silent except for the occasional laughter when we thought of tomorrow. We gave the password and entered the portrait and stopped dead when we saw 4 people waiting up for us with their head turned towards the portrait. Lily, Alice, and Frank were sitting on the couches looking terrible. I tried to read out their expressions, but my head turned to look at the fourth person who was standing tall, he piercing blue eyes weren't twinkling for once.

"Take off the cloak." Professor Dumbledore told us. I was surprised to hear not a hint of anger in his voice. Slowly we all stepped out for underneath it. "Come here and take a seat please." We walked over to the couch. Sirius and Remus on either side of me. James sat next to Lily, and Peter took the open arm chair.

"Sir, about the cl-" James started but Dumbledore cut him off.

"I will not question you where you five have been, even if something extremely mysterious happens tomorrow. " He told us. He looked towards me, his blue eyes looking extremely sad and tired.

"You have a visitor Miss Rouge."

"I- who?" My family were muggles, and I knew they would never visit me.

"I hope you are not mad, but I figured you would like to have your friends here."

"But sir I-" I started but stopped when he created a beautiful phoenix patronus. It flew out of the common room.

"Sir-" I started again but I was again interrupted as the portrait door swung open. I recognized McGonagall easily but I was more shocked at the person behind her.

"Mikey?"
