A/N: OMG! Thanks guys for the 10 reviews! I literally fan-girl squealed when I saw them. Compared to the hits, that made 10 of people who read it review it. Wow! Here's the next chappie-


James and Lily met up in the common room to head to the empty classroom. While they were walking, Lily said, "Thanks for helping me."

James felt a little awkward. He wasn't used to people thanking him for things. That was probably because he didn't do a lot of nice things for people.

"Your welcome. Here we're about there. Can you just stand there for a sec?" asked James. In truth, he was bringing her to the room of requirement, and he couldn't tell her that secret. Lily also realized this and played along.

"Alright." she answered.

When he returned, Lily decided to see what sort of a back-up plan he had if she figured out.

"So, what were you doing?" she asked playfully.

James was stumped for a second. He wasn't prepared for telling her why he told her to wait. He quickly thought up an excuse.

"Well, I was checking to see whether there were an couples were in there doing, um, yah..." he wavered off at the end awkwardly. Gosh James. Pull yourself together! Why didn't you just say snogging? He thought to himself.

Lily hit him playfully on the arm. She might as well put him out of his misery.

"I do know about the room of requirement, Potter. You didn't have to lie," Lily told him.

"Wha-?" James said. She called me Potter again. I'll have to tell her I made a mistake. But Potter's never make mistakes like that. Woah, wait a moment. She knows about the room of requirement?

"What? How?" James spluttered. Lily just smiled in return.

"Wait. Maybe I don't want to know," James responded.

"I suppose you want to work on that desk to pig spell we were doing in class today," James said after they entered the room.

"Sure. I never quite got the hang of the wand movement. How did it go again?"

After they finished, James was surprised at how easy it went. He wasn't used to having people be nice to him just for the sake of being nice. It was refreshing to not have to worry about how he looked or whether or not he should ask her on a date.

Lily was happy to finally have a friend. She now knew she could tell him her real identity when the time was right. She didn't think that he would recognize her beforehand because he still hadn't yet. Lily was sure that James would be with her when she did.


In the marauder's dorm room that night, they all gave their girl's marks and Remus came in with a surprise.

"I decided to make a board with all the girls names on it so that we can keep track of who has won what and how many," Remus announced.

"OK, Remus. But we don't need it," said Sirius.

"But what if we forget, or disagree about what happened," Remus responded.

"Fine, but I stick with what I said before. We don't need it."

"OK! Back to the marks," James said, trying to keep everyone on track, "Who wants to go first?"

"I'll go. Alice gets E's in Potions and Transfiguration. She also gets an O for Charms," Remus said, almost smugly.

"Alright. Do you have that, Peter?" James asked him. He nodded in return.

"Who next?"

"I'll go," said James. He sat up straight and announced, "She gets O's in Potions and Charms. She also gets an A in Transfiguration."

"Alright Sirius. What about Electra?" asked Remus, who did not know about her not even taking the classes.

"Erm... I'll have yo all know that although she might not be extremely talented in this area of her education, she is an awesome girl," Sirius said.

"Just say it Padfoot."

"She gets an E in charms."

"What about the others?"

"She doesn't take them," Sirius said. James started laughing again, as he did the first time.

"Prongs!" Sirius said, insulted by it, "Support me here?"

"Sorry," James tried to say, but he was laughing too hard.

"Who wins, anyways?" asked Sirius, gloomily.

"Patty," James said through a breath of air in his laughing.

"Alice doesn't even have an A!"

"Well, mine has two O's!" James said because he stopped laughing.

"So?" Remus challenged.

"It's a tie!" Sirius butted in.

"It can't be." James interjected.

"Well, it seems like it is!" Sirius argued.

"STOP!" Peter yelled.

"What, Wormtail?" said James, moodily.

"Isn't it me who decides?"

"I guess..."

"Well, with the calculations, it is a tie-"

"HA!" Yelled Sirius.

James said pointedly to Sirius, "I sense a but coming along."

"-but because we did say that potions is the most important of them all and Patty has the best potions mark, she technically wins."

"YES!" James cheered as he marked it on Remus' board. Afterwards, he gathered himself up and said, "OK, next challenge. What should it be?"

The marauder's pondered for a moment until Sirius spoke up.

"I think we should check out their popularity," offered Sirius. He knew that he could win there.

"But how do we do that?" asked Remus. The marauders were silent once again as they tried to think up an answer.

"What about the Christmas dance? A king and queen is chosen there for each separate year."

"What if none of our girls are chosen as queen though?" asked Remus.

"We can check the amount of votes our girls got. That would be accurate," said Sirius.

"Alright!" agreed James, "We can do that."

"Guys, you're forgetting something," piped Peter.

"What?"

"That dance in in a month," Peter said.

"Oh yah. I guess we have to think of something to do until then. Any ideas?" said James, sadly.

After a moment, Remus spoke up, "What about most date-able..." Remus said it almost as though he didn't want too.

"Yah!"

"I guess that's OK."

"How do we measure that though," said James.

"Peter can decide, can't you Peter?" said Sirius.

"I guess I can."

"First, I guess we have to go on a date with the girl," said Sirius.

"How about we write about what happened and then we give it to Peter who can decide."

"Alright. Everybody in?" asked James.

They all nodded.

"Alright. Let's do this!"
