.:Severus, Will you go out with me?:.

When Lily had awoken she hits James repeatedly while he tried to cover himself from the shower of punches, but he couldn't seem to block any of them. He just kept saying, "Why?" over and over again because in truth, he didn't know what was happening.

"You pervert!" She screamed, and in dawned on James.

He grinned, "Oh don't deny it Lily you love me, that's why you cuddled with me!" This earned him another smack.

This commotion had woken Jade up, and well, she didn't really freak out, considering she had thrown Sirius off the couch in the middle of the night. So she merely stretched her arms, and mumbled "Good morning."

Sirius was incredibly confused when he woke up. He didn't exactly know why he was on the floor, especially, when he fell asleep on the couch. Or at least he thinks he did. Didn't he?

"So Sirius," Jade leaned over the couch, "Do you always sleep in the fetal position?" She sniggered.

"What?" Sirius looked down to see that he was, in fact, sleeping in the fetal position, "No! I don't!"

"It's okay if you do. El does to. And you know what they fetal position says about a person. That they are very sensitive. And you Siri, I'm sure some women like sensitive men." Jade smiled maniacally.

"Your evil, you know that?" Sirius whispered.

"I know, and you are still in the fetal position." Jade commented.

"Damn it!"

Strangely Remus was second to last to wake up, considering he was almost always the first to. When he woke up he noticed that he felt considerably heavier.

How much chocolate did I eat last night? God, I knew this one going to happen one day. All that chocolate was going to make me fat…

When he opened his eyes, he noticed that he was not morbidly obese. He merely had half of Amelia's body lying across him. Wait, what? When did that happen?

"What the hell happened last night?" Remus commented.

Amelia, however at slept through the entire ruckus.

"How does she do that?" Sirius commented to Jade, throwing his hand in the direction of Amelia.

"It's a talent. That girl could sleep through an earthquake, but she has her reasons. I mean her dreams are carefree, which her life is not. There's a reason she's so overprotective of me, even though I tell her not to be."

"Well, Jade, if I were you're best friend, I'd be worried about you a lot too. Ha, with your craziness, it's amazing you don't just invite rapists into your house for a tea party. But you do know that they say people who protect others need someone to protect them." James chipped in.

"That's a bunch of bullshit." Amelia commented rubbing her eyes, and then glared at them, "You guys talk really friggin loud, you know that? Wait, why am I lying on Remus? What happened last night?"

"I think it's funny how Amelia wakes up when the word 'rapist' is mentioned." James commented laughing.

"That is not something I would do! Alright, I probably would…"

"That's because rapists don't scare you." Amelia commented, and stretched her arms.

"Rapists don't scare you?" Sirius yelled bewildered.

"Well, no…because I know how to avoid them…and…and Amelia smiles at random people!" Jade whipped around and pointed at Amelia so fast that Amelia looked rather shocked.

Amelia blushed, "I can't help it! It just happens. It's not my fault. But old ladies are mean; they never smile back at me. They just glare at me."

"Then what do you do? Stick your tongue out at them?" James smirked.

"No! I only did that one time, and then I tripped…bad day." Amelia shook her head, "And no one answered my question! What happened last night!" Amelia yelled in frustration.

"Well, we watched the Texas Chainsaw Massacre…and then we all fell asleep." Remus commented, "Now, uh, do you mind getting off of me?" Remus blushed.

"Opps. Sorry." Amelia jumped up.

"Where are Prudence and Peter?" Lily asked.

They all looked at each other, and walked toward the exit, and when they all exited the room of requirement, they found Peter and Prudence lying together, snoring.

"How is it that they haven't gotten caught yet?" Amelia asked.

All of a sudden Prudence gave a big snore and woke up, and blinked at the rest of them, and as soon as Prudence woke up Peter followed.

"That's all it takes to wake her up! I've been trying to wake her up for six years and all it takes to wake her up is the sound of Amelia's voice?" Lily screamed.

Jade giggled, and Amelia closed her eyes, and said, "Please rephrase that. Please."

James, Sirius and Remus all started sniggering, and Lily cracked a smile, "Sorry."

"Aw, El, don't deny it, you know you and Prudence are in lllluuurrrvvveee!" Jade sang.

"You suck." Amelia glared.

"Like a whore." Jade smiled proudly.

"You suck like a whore?" Amelia bites her lip and tried her hardest not to laugh.

Sirius's eyes were the size of quarters, and as he looked at Jade.

Jade was still smiling, and Amelia was slowly turning redder and redder.

"Mia, breathe, you don't want your brain to explain." Remus commented looking back and forth at Amelia and Jade with his eyebrows furrowed.

Sirius was still in shock, and then an angry look crossed his face, and he roughly whispered, "Who have you been sucking like a whore? I'll kill him!"

Amelia started laughing, and in between laughs she commented, "Who said it was a boy?"

She had then realized what her words could mean as everyone looked at her. She laughed a great though coming to her mind, she glanced at Jade and saw the recognition in her eyes, and she nodded. Everyone else in the room was still staring at them.

"Love ya." Jade smiled, and walked over to Amelia.

"I love you too!" Amelia yelled.

"Mhm." Jade nodded.

Amelia huffed, "That's all you say when I confess my undying love for you? Jeez. Way to make a girl feel special." She crossed her arms.

Jade went up to Amelia and they looked in each other in the eyes, and slowing bent towards each other, and their friends looked on closely confused, and curious.

Amelia and Jade hugged, and Amelia said, "Jeez you pervs, what did you think? That we we're going to kiss? I don't think so."

Jade and Amelia laughed and pounded fists.

"Oh. That was cruel; here I was thinking I was going to get to see some girl on girl action." Sirius pouted.

"Oh don't worry, Black, I mean you are a girl, and I've seen you date girls, so you probably see girl on girl action all the time. And your friends get the pleasure of hearing it."

James and Remus gagged, "Um, We actually try to avoid being in the room when Sirius is, uh, "mating""

Amelia snorted, and everyone looked at her.

"I'm sorry. I just find the fact of Sirius mating funny. I don't know why. I blame it on my perverted mind."

Jade laughed, "Sirius mating. I bet he's a virgin!"

Sirius was outraged, and James and Remus started hysterically laughing.

"Sorry, babe, but unless they changed the definition of virgin, I most certainly not one." Sirius smirked.

"I'm not your babe, Black." Jade gritted her teeth.

"Oh, wow, you've managed to piss Jade off, Sirius. Congratulations." Lily clapped, mocking him.

"Um, are they going to be alright?" Amelia asked Peter.

"I think so." Peter whispered.

"Alrighty." Amelia smiled still staring at Remus and James rolling on the floor laughing.

"Guys, don't you think we should get going before Filch…" Lily trailed off when she heard Filch muttering, "Ha, I'm gonna catch this time."

"Run!" Jade screamed, and started sprinting off in the opposite direction. Sirius took off after her followed by Lily, Peter and Prudence. James and Remus were still laughing, and Amelia was looking back towards the corridor Filch was coming from, and the boys.

"Damn it. Why can't I just abandon my friends? Honestly." Amelia sighed.

"James, Remus! It's Filch!" She lugged James up first, and exclaimed about how heavy he was.

"Run!" Amelia ordered and James reluctantly took off.

"Reeemmmuuuss." Amelia whispered, and offered his a hand. He took it, and as soon as he was up and standing, she was dragging him off down the corridor. She let go of his hand, and started to run full speed, as she caught up to the others, she said she knew a shortcut through a classroom.

They slowed down a tiny bit, and she took off, and as she was trying to get the door open with the key, she heard them running at her, "Stop! I don't have it-" They all crashed into each other, "Open. Ow." She turned the knob and they all ran off. They ran down spiral staircases and through empty corridors until they reached the Fat Lady, and they all yelled the password at her, exasperated. She seemed quite shocked, and told them to stop being so rude. They all piled into the common room, and it was then Amelia whispered, "Tempus" and 6:45 appeared in the air.

"THAT'S THE TIME!" Amelia yelled, and the rest of them flinched.

"How. Does. She. Find. Enough. Air. To. Yell. After. All. That. Running?" Remus forced out in pain.

"Don't ask me." Jade panted, "I think it's the anger."

They all nodded, and Amelia wandered over to the window, and yelled "It's raining!" She jumped and smiled.

"So?" James asked.

"Amelia loves the rain. Personally I think it's because she's so damn depressing sometimes, but she denies it. It's true though." Jade nodded, happily.

"No." Amelia looked back at Jade, glaring, "It's because a rainy day is the best time to buy a bag of lollipops, and curl up in bed reading. The smell after a new rainfall is the best in the world. The cool breeze against your face. And most importantly rain means a new beginning. Everything that used to be wiped away. A brand new slate." Amelia whispered the last few sentences, and sighed. Just staring out the window.

"Even I don't begin to fathom what's going on in that strange little head of hers. Most of the time I get her, but sometimes…with Amelia, you have to read between the lines, she's not very obvious about what she's reallyfeeling. She just pretends to be an open book, up what she feels and what she shows are two entirely different things." Jade explains.

"Eh. I guess you're right, but if you think my mind is hard to fathom, well Jade, your head is a crazy mess of stuff." Amelia stated, "And with Jade you'd think you have to read between the lines to find out what she's really feeling, but in reality it's obvious. You may think she feels one way, but if you look you'll see it's for a totally different reason. She masks her feeling, but only in the way that they are so obvious that everyone overlooks them. Maybe that's why we understand each other so well, Jade is really good at looking for detail, and reading between in the fact, whereas I am rather good at noticing the obvious."

"Yup. That's why we're best friends." Jade smiled and hugged Amelia.

Amelia hugged her back tightly, "Loovvee you!"

"Love you too!" Jade laughed.

"You guys really like expressing your feelings for each other don't you?" Lilly asked.

"We both know what it's like to feel unloved and shunned, so we made a pact to never make each other feel that way ever again. Even if people do think we're lesbians." Jade smiled.

"Actually, I think we'd make pretty good lesbians, and if we we're lesbians we'd make good partners." Amelia chuckled.

"Mhm." Jade nodded.

"Lesbians…" Sirius whispered in a trance, and Jade hit him in the back of the head.

"Pervert."

"Hey!" Sirius cried.

"You guys are really depressing and complex." Remus commented, a frown on his face.

"It makes my brain hurt." James said.

"That's the best thing about being secretive. It makes other people wonder and it drives them crazy," Amelia leaned closer, "but you will never find out my secrets, or Jade's. And if by some chance you do, and you do something wrong, I will hurt you. And most importantly if you make Jade cry, I'll bury you. Eighty feet under in some place in Siberia, where no one will find you. Capisce?

James swallowed hard, "Yes ma'am."

"Good boy." Amelia patted James on the head.

Remus rose an eyebrow smirking, "She's got a hold on you. If she was you're girlfriend you'd be whipped."

"Thank the lord she's not. I'd take Jade and her violent tendencies over the most random of things before Amelia."

"And how does that make you feel, El Sunshine, that Jamesy here would rather take me and my "violent tendencies" over sweet ol' you." Jade had a look of a therapist on her face.

"Good. Because as much as I like Semaj, he's not my type. Ha. Besides we all know he and Lily are meant for each other and I don't want to be the whore that came between them." Amelia smiled victorious.

"HEY! I DO NOT LOVE POTTER!" Lily screamed.

"Semaj?" Remus asked.

"James's name backwards. I like being clever, "Amelia smiled proudly, "And Lily denial is the first step on the way to acceptance."

"Yes, it would be if what I had to accept was something I actually felt. I do not like Pothead." Lily growled.

"Does anyone else think James as a pothead is funny? Because I think he'd be funny when high. You know, I think he'd be a funny drunk too." Jade commented.

"Oh! I do! I totally agree with you!" Amelia nodded her head about ten thousand times.

"Ah, Amelia my dear friend would be an honest drunk. I can just imagine you leaning over to whisper to Remus, "That man over there is ugly. You're much better looking than him! But shhhh, don't tell him that!" and you'd be screaming it at top volume. Oh course the man next to you would be Sirius. Ha. Or you'd be like, "Oh my god I so love-" Jade paused, and everyone waiting in anticipation to hear who Amelia liked.

Amelia wasn't worried because she knows Jade would never betray her. She'd never betray Jade and Jade would never betray her. They knew that.

"Peanut Butter." Jade finished smiling. That threw everyone for a loop.

Amelia laughed, "I do love peanut butter. If there was a god I'd worship it, but then I'd go to hell for worshipping a false god…"

Jade clapped her hands, "Then why don't you become the goddess of peanut butter!"

Amelia sighed, and laughed, "Because then I'd go to hell for pretending to be a false god."

"Wait…" Sirius seemed to remember something, "Last night, you asked Amelia if she liked or loved someone in the room with us…and she said yes…so Amelia which of us did you like more than a friend."

"Jade." Amelia said smoothly, "I love her as a sister."

"Oh. Ok." Sirius seemed to except that, but one of the friends seemed to be a tiny bit disappointed.

"Well, Jade. I think you'd be the strange drunk. You and me would be doing karaoke, and you'd be hitting on all the guys, " Sirius growled at this commented, but no one seemed to hear him, "And you'd be saying I love-" Amelia paused the same way that Jade did, and of course it worked the exact same way. The others were caught up in the suspense.

Jade smiled, and waited to see what strange things Amelia would come up with now.

"Prairie Dogs." Amelia nodded.

"Prairie Dogs?" Remus asked, incredulously.

"Yup. I mean dude have you seen those things? They look all nice, but their friggin vicious, but that's okay. I love otters, groundhogs, chipmunks, squirrels, prairie dogs, and bunnies and all furry things." Amelia smiled.

"They are vicious." Jade agreed.

Despite their best efforts James and Sirius started 'ooing' nudging Remus.

"Amelia loves furry things. So maybe she'll love Remus's furry little problem." Remus sent them a death glare that clearly read, 'shut the hell up'.

"Remus has a furry little problem? You have pet, Remus?" Jade asked.

"Remus has a rabid bunny?" Amelia asked.

"Uh. Yeah. Yeah..." Remus answered. He reminded himself to find and buy a rabid bunny.

"That's sweet." Amelia said.

"Rabid bunnies are sweet!?" James exclaimed.

"Holy Sirius! Is that the time?" Jade exclaimed.

"Holy Sirius? Really, Jade? Sirius and holy do not, will not, and will neverbelong in the same sentence. That's like saying the Pope is a Jew." Remus said, shaking his head at how strange Jade could be.

"What? It's like 8 o'clock. So?" James asked.

"We should get down to breakfast." Lily answered.

"No. No we shouldn't. We should just skip breakfast." Sirius and Remus chorused at the same time in a nervous tone of voice.

"No, Siri and Remy, you are not getting out of your dares. And I can wait to see you perform them." Jade evilly laughed a feral grin on her face, her hands rubbing together maniacally, and a wild look in her eyes.

"You are really insane and creepy, you know that?" Amelia commented.

"Yup."

"Hey, she's your best friend, shouldn't you be used to it?" James said with an eyebrow raised.

"Just because she's my best friend doesn't mean she doesn't scare the living shit out of me." Amelia gave him a look as if to say 'how dumb are you'.

"Alright, Remus, here you go." Jade has magically produced a neon pink tutu. She handed it out to Remus who looked at it like it might attack him and any second. Actually it just might, because after this he might just die of embarrassment. Lord help him. He took the…the…thing with his shaking hands. This would be so much easier if he was outgoing and not afraid of what people thought of his. Damn it! Why did he have to be so damn shy!

"Don't worry, Remus," Amelia commented, "I'm sure everyone will forget about it after Sirius's announcement. I, however, would like to document this occasion. So, I'm going to film it." She whispered a spell, and said, "Viola, Remus, you are now being recorded."

"You know, I'm not sure whose worse, you or Jade." Remus shook his head.

"Jade's scary in her own special way. Especially with her violence problem, but Amelia is considerably more of a psychopath." Sirius explained.

"I agree." Jade, Lily and James agreed. Remus nodded.

"Since when did you get so logical Sirius?" Amelia scowled.

"True. Siri, you've been taking a page out of Remus's and Lily's books haven't you!" Jade smiled. She decided her favorite thing to do was torture Sirius. It was fun.

"Wait, Remus and Lily wrote a book." Sirius asked, confused.

"Never mind." Jade sighed, "You're such an idiot, Sirius."

Sirius chose to just pout.

"Remus, go put that tutu on before I magically charm it on you!" Jade threatened.

"Alright." Remus sighed, and walked up to his dormitory, his feet dragging.
When Remus came back down in his neon pink tutu he looked so utterly ridiculous, that his friend couldn't contain their laughter. While Remus turned various shades of red his friends were rolling around on the floor.

"Alright," Jade said in between breaths, "Let's go down to the Great Hall, so Remus can have his debut."

Remus turned purple at this comment, and then turned slightly green when he thought about going up there and singing.

They all started walking down to the great hall, still in fits of laughter. When they arrived there, they had to shove Remus into the room. They followed him, and Remus walked towards the teachers table as if he were a prisoner on death row. Well, in truth, he was in a way.

When everyone saw him the whole great hall erupted with laughter. Hell, even McGonagall was laughing behind her hand of course. The noise was so booming people for miles would wonder what was happening. Remus was still red.

He approached the teacher's table very slowly and when he got there, he climbed on time and started to belt out, "I feel pretty! Oh so pretty and witty and bright" He wanted to throw up by now, "And I pity any girl who isn't me tonight!" He stepped down off the teachers table took a deep breath and magically charmed his clothes to change. He figured that was enough singing to fulfill his dare. When he looked towards his friends they all nodded out of pity, well all except Sirius who wanted that to go on as long as he could make it so he wouldn't have to make his 'announcement'.

Remus came back and sat by his friend, trying to get rid of the permanent blush that was all over his face.

"Aw. Remus. It's okay," Amelia hugged him, "Just imagine how people are going to feel when they see Jade and I in the outfits thatSiriusthe pervert picks out for us." Amelia sighed and blushed just thinking about it.

Remus, however, calmed down a little bit at these words, he even smiled, and laughed.

"Oi, Sirius! Get up off your ass and make you're announcement." Jade shoved him up.

Sirius gulped and yelled, "Hey everyone I have an…an…announcement to make!" He saw everyone's eyes lock onto him, and he saw his brother raise an eyebrow. Damn, he had forgotten about his brother. He would go and relay this to their parents of course. Shit.

Sirius took a deep breath, and closed his eyes "I'm gay! Yeah, that's right! I like men!! I like mustaches, and sideburns, and, and hairy chests! And greasy hair!" Sirius sighed, this wasn't as bad as he thought, and maybe he should open his eyes so he could see everyone's reaction.

His brother looked as if he was going to die or faint. Perhaps both. Practically every girl in the room was either crying or had fainted.

He walked up to Snape, and looked into his eyes, and Snape instantly knew what was coming. He knew this was just another one of the stupid Marauders jokes.

"Severus, will you go out me?"

"No." Snape said and walked out of the Great Hall, scowling.

Sirius walked back over to his friends.

"Can we get out of here, please?" Sirius begged, and they agreed.

They decided to go outside to get away from everyone else, but just as they were about to walk outside, they notice a peculiar site. It was hailing.

"Oh my god! That's so awesome! Look at those things! They're the size of golf balls!" Amelia squealed with glee.

"That is awesome." Jade agreed and pushed Amelia outside. Amelia latched on to Jade arm and pulled her down with her. They tried to get up, but it was rather difficult considering the fact that it was raining ice, that really hurt when it hit you.

"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Amelia and Jade yelled, and they tried to scramble back in.

None of their friends wanted to brave the hailstorm, as they were afraid to get hurt.

"Oh come on you guys! Be plucky for once in your life!" Amelia yelled.

"Plucky?"

"It means brave you idiots! Plucky, such a great word. I love it…plucky." And as Amelia was saying that everything when black for her and Jade.

Remus and James braved the storm and dragged them inside.

"We should get them to Madame Pomfrey." Lily suggested, worried.

So when Amelia and Jade finally woke up they found themselves in hospital wing.

"What the hell happened?" Amelia asked, hold her head.

"Why the hell does my head feel like someone took a metal pipe to it?" Jade asked, also holding her head.

"Well, girl, you guys to decide to go out and have some fun in one of the worst hail storms in the century!" Madame Pomfrey scolded, "You had some concussions, but I fixed that for you, and the pain should go away after a few hours.

"Hours?" Amelia groaned.

"You only have yourself to blame." Madame Pomfrey snipped.

"Come on Poppy. Lay off them." Sirius suggested, with a suave smile.

"You, Mr. Black, I suggest you shut your mouth."

"I can't believe you shoved me out there!" Amelia whispered angrily at Jade.

"I can't believe you pulled me with you!" Jade whispered back just as roughly.

Then they both burst out laughing.

"Those girls are strange." Sirius whispered to Remus.

"And we're stuck with them."

"Crap."

If there it was one thing that they all learned that day it was never play truth or dare and never, ever, under absolutely no circumstances, venture out in a hail storm.
