"Bloody hell," a voice said.
The couple broke away and looked to see that Lily, Arianne, and Charlotte entered the room. All tree of the girls' mouths were hanging and their eyes were wide.
"Would someone like to tell us what's going on?" Charlotte asked.
"Uh," the couple started.
"He was choking," Jenine started, "So I, uh, had to give him mouth to mouth."
"Yeah, right. We may be a little immature to you guys, but we surely aren't stupid," Arianne replied.
The couple's faces turned into worried expressions before Lily said, "Don't worry, we know how to keep secrets. Yours is safe with us."
They sighed in relief as Charlotte asked, "But isn't against the rules? You know, teachers dating students?"
"Well, we all aren't meant to follow rules," she said, winking, "Besides, we're both of age."
The girls shrugged before she said, "So, what can I help you girls with?"
"We just wanted to turn in our essays early," Lily explained.
"Kiss ups," Draco muttered, which made the girls all turn to him.
"Can we?" Arianne asked.
"Be my guest," Jenine replied.
Then, one by one, the girls went up to Draco and smacked him in the back of the head.
"Bloody hell! Either you guys are on your period or you take things too seriously," he said, rubbing the back of his head.
"Oh, don't be such a baby," Jenine said as she took the papers from the girls, "So what are you girls' plans for the rest of the day?"
"Nothing, just hang around the grounds I guess," Charlotte answered.
"Well, you girls can hang around with us for the rest of the day," she suggested.
The girls smiled before nodding.
"You don't, mind, do you?" she said to Draco.
"No, I was actually about to leave anyway to take a nap," he said before standing up and giving her a kiss on the cheek, "See you all at dinner."
With that, he left, leaving the rest of the girls sitting there.
"So, what are we going to do?" Arianne asked.
"Wait just a second," the professor replied before standing up and retrieving a small box from the desk.
She carefully opened it while the others watched in interest. She then brought out 4 green packages.
"What is that?" Charlotte asked.
"Sour skittles!" Lily said happily, "Those are the best."
Jenine smiled as she gave them each a bag. But to her surprise, Arianne didn't take it.
"Sorry, but I'm not very fond of sour things," she said.
"That's alright. You can have the regular flavor," she replied, handing her a red bag.
"I like the blue raspberry ones," Lily said as she put the blue sugar coated piece in her mouth.
"Those are okay, but I like the apple ones best," Jenine replied, putting two of them in her mouth.
"They're all good," Charlotte said, already half way done with her bag.
"Watch yourself, Char," Arianne warned.
"Don't worry, Anne. It's just little pieces of candy," she replied, finishing the rest of the bag.
"What does she have to watch for?" Jenine asked, also finishing her bag and moving on to another.
"Char gets really crazy sugar highs," Lily explained.
"Oh really?" she asked.
"Yeah, like this one time last year when we went to Hogsmeade. She ate about 30 packs of chocolate frogs and then went crazy," Arianne said, laughing.
"Crazy, as in how?"
"Let's just say that when she goes back, half of the people there will run away from her," she replied before Charlotte smacked her on the arm.
"They won't run away," she muttered.
"Right, they'll run away while screaming," Lily teased before they all started to laugh.
As the laughter died down, Charlotte and Jenine were already on their 5th bag.
"You should watch yourself, too, Jenine," Arianne said, watching them devour the bag with wide eyes.
"Oh please, darling. I'm a grown adult. I am perfectly capable of controlling myself," she rambled.
After finishing their bags, the two girls looked into the box, sadly not finding anymore candy. They then looked at each other.
"We should get more candy," Charlotte said.
"Yes, we should," the other girl replied.
Then, they both got up and ran out of the room. Arianne and Lily looked at each other with panic before running after them.
They ran for about a good 5 minutes before Lily asked, "Where do you think they might've gone?"
"Well, if I knew then we wouldn't be standing here, would we?" she snapped while catching her breath.
"Why are you girls are sweaty?" a voice said behind them.
They looked to see the three Marauders standing there.
"For your information, Potter, your sister just ate about 10 bags of sour skittles and now she and Jenine are somewhere in this castle looking for more," Lily explained.
"They ate sour what?" he asked.
"Skittles, Prongs," Remus explained, "Muggle candy."
"Oh," he said plainly before his eyes widened, "Oh Merlin, we have to go find her."
"Yeah, thanks for pointing out the obvious," Arianne said.
"Well why aren't you guys looking for them?" Sirius asked.
"What do you think we were doing for the past 10 minutes?" she snapped back.
"Alright that's enough," Remus interrupted, "We'll take the outside grounds and you girls take the rest of the castle."
The group then ran off in opposite directions. The Marauders started at Hagrid's hut, but they were unsuccessful. It took them about another 10 minutes before they ran into Harry and Hermione.
"What's the rush?" Hermione asked.
"Charlotte… Jenine… sugar rush…" the boys said between breaths.
The couple looked at each other with wide eyes before they started running again.
Meanwhile in the castle, the girls were about to go down the second floor when they bumped into George and Melany.
"Have you guys seen Charlotte or Jenine?" they asked.
"No, why?" they replied.
They then explained what had happened that afternoon, and at the end the couple was standing there with open mouths.
"Well, they usually head for the Great Hall, so we should wait there," Melany said.
The group agreed before heading down to the Hall.
Outside the grounds, the other group made their way to the Quidditch Pitch.
"Well, no one's here," Sirius said, looking around.
Suddenly, there was a fast whizzing in the air. It started out soft, but then got louder as it seemed to get closer. Then, they saw it; Jenine and Charlotte flying away on broomsticks.
"It looks like they're heading for the Great Hall. Come on!" James said before they started running again.
The group then arrived at the Hall, where everyone was waiting anxiously.
"Did you find them?" Ginny asked.
They were about to speak before the whizzing sound came back again.
"Oh my Merlin," the girls said, looking up.
The whole hall's attention shifted when the two girls entered, screaming on the broomsticks.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Professor McGonagall said to the group, waking them up from their daze, "I demand you to stop those two immediately!"
The group then got out their wands and desperately aimed stunning charms wherever they saw them. But unfortunately they were too fast for them to catch.
"This isn't working!" Lily said.
"Obviously!" Blaise snapped.
"We need to think of something to slow them down," Hermione explained.
The group thought for a moment before Draco reached into his pocket.
"Hey, girls! Look what I got!" he said, waving packs of chocolate frogs.
The girls stopped and got down before running after him.
"Now!" he said, signaling the group to stun them. In an instant, they were knocked out cold on the floor.
The group then sighed a breath of relief before Fred said, "We should take them back now."
They agreed before James put a levitation charm on Charlotte and Draco doing the same with Jenine.
The group then left the hall, tired and still shocked on what had just happened over the past hour. They now know that they should never let two sugar high people go joy riding on brooms again.
