Disclaimer – I do not own Harry Potter

Paddlebrains – thanks for the review! You've probably forgotten what the review said as it was so long ago (i know i've been naughty again, not updating) but I wanted to show that Pan was strong about what she wanted, and that Sirius really does love her. Hope you enjoy this last chapter!

ThePranksterQueens – Yeah, they are sweet together aren't they?! They make me happy (how sad's that, their lives are better than mine! Humph) sorry again for not updating regularly. I hope you enjoy this last chapter of 'Two White Sheep'

Well people, here we are at the end of a story. I know I have enjoyed it, and I hope you guys have too!

Chapter 10 – The Gryffindor New Year

In the morning, the seven friends got up early, much to Maddi's protests, and packed their bags to catch the train back to Hogwarts. To their surprise, Alistair McFarlane would be coming on the train with them. They were to go to Kings' Cross, and meet him on Platform 9¾.

They spotted him on the station and walked over, grinning. Maddi looked up at him, he winked and mouthed something to her. The others exchanged glances.

Pan suddenly had an uncontrollable laughing fit. Sirius had come up behind her and started to tickle her.

"Sirius, nooooooooo" she pleaded between laughing and gasps for air.

Lily rolled her eyes and said loudly,

"Shall we find a compartment?"

Sirius finally stopped tickling his girlfriend, who collapsed onto his shoulder for support, weak from laughing.

"OK" he agreed, and they all pulled their bags over to the train.

When they were settled in a compartment, all squeezed into seats. Pan seated herself on Sirius' knee, partly for her own reasons (no, don't be disgusting naughty readers) and partly to provide more space.

After about half an hour of chatting, a gaggle of second year girls appeared at the compartment door.

One of them stepped forward boldly, she had dyed blonde hair and a round face with hardly any chin.

"She fancies you y'know?" she said, pointing first at Maddi, then at Alistair. Alistair turned his head to look at Maddi, who was sat next to him.

"I would hope she does... it's fairly normal to fancy your boyfriend, isn't it?" Pan, Sirius and James cheered as Alistair kissed Maddi for effect. The second year girls retreated, red faced.

Lily said in mock anger to Maddi

"Excuse me young lady? Why were we not informed of this sooner?"

Maddi laughed,

"Because when Alistair asked me out I told him about that eavesdropper. We decided that we would wait until she tried to embarrass me!"

"And it worked!" Alistair chuckled.

"It certainly did!" Sirius cheered again.

"What'll we do now?" Lisa asked

"Well," James looked sideways at Lily, "Considering that Maddi's now got a boyfriend too... I don't think we need to worry about her being lonely if we all... go"

Pan giggled.

When they arrived back at the school, they went straight up to Gryffindor Tower.

"Please go up to your dorms!" Sirius shouted, "We have a party to prepare and, as it stands, you lot are in the way!"

Grumbling good naturedly, the Gryffindors returned to the dorms, eagerly anticipating the party that always started the New Year with a bang. Alistair and Maddi decided to go upstairs too

"We're not Marauders, we don't really count"

The others agreed.

"Right," said James, looking at the huge box of decorations that he had produced from under his bed "Sirius and I will do the tinsel and fairies, Lily and Pan, you can get the food, and Lisa and Remus can use the secret passage and go and get butterbeer and firewhiskey"

"I'm not sure" Remus protested "I mean, that's breaking loads of rules and-"

"GO, MOONY!" Sirius interrupted. James handed the invisibility cloak to Remus, who took it grudgingly.

Pan and Lily left the common room, talking about what they were going to wear.

"I don't know, I wore that top last time"

"Oh, come off it Lils, at least you were there last time, even if you did hate James Potter's guts! I was curled up in a chair in the library. Madam Pince never kicked me out. I s'pose she knew I had nowhere to go... oh well, tonight's gonna be brilliant!"

"Yeah. I might wear that other top, y'know, the one that Mum owled me a couple of weeks ago?"

"Good idea, that one's nice"

"What are you planning on wearing?"

"No idea, hey, Lily, there's that painting"

Lily stepped forward and tickled the pear, which squirmed and giggled, before turning into the doorknob.

As the girls entered the kitchen, they were surrounded by elves.

"Anything we can get for you little misses?" squeaked the nearest house elf.

"Erm, yes please... we just need enough party food for the Gryffindor New Year party" Pan said politely.

"Of course, little misses, we will have it right away! Please wait for a moment!" The elf scurried away, shouting orders to the others in his high voice.

Pan and Lily sat down on a wooden bench and waited, still chatting about what they were going to wear. After a few minutes, the elves came back with trays of food. The two girls helped the leves put it all on a trolley. They then made the trolley weightless and carried it easily up to Gryffindor Tower.

It looked amazing. James and Sirius had put red and gold tinsel and streamers EVERYWHERE, random magical decorations like baubles with tiny moving scenes in them, and fairy lights. Mistletoe and holly were strung up all around the room (rather more of the first than the second!)

At that minute, Lisa and Remus burst through the portrait hole, their large school bags filled to bursting with bottles of various wizarding beverages. They all set to work setting the food and drink out on a table, then they all went upstairs to get ready. Maddi joined the girls after about ten minutes.

Maddi already knew what she was planning on wearing for the party. From the cupboard she took a dark red, sparkly top, black skinny trousers, and black slip on shoes. Maddi left her curls loose and donned fresh makeup. She was the only person Pan knew, who could wear dark red eyeshadow and NOT look as if she had been punched in both eyes! (An: I know someone like this, v annoying!)

Lisa wore a navy blue strappy top with sequins all over it. She put on a short denim skirt with a white ruffle all around the bottom, and for shoes she wore knee high suede boots. She put her hair in a messy ponytail, put on pale blue eyeshadow, leaving her glasses on.

Pan wore long black trousers and a white strappy top that had beads and random bits of embroidery dotted on it. It was cut short, so you could see a small amount of hip. She pulled her hair into a messy bun, leaving the short bits around her face. She applied dark grey eyeshadow, and put on white pumps.

"C'mon Lil!" she called.

Lily was the last to be ready, but it was worth it! She wore a mint green, floaty top, and dark denim crop trousers. She had dark green eyeshadow on that made her eyes look even more spectacular, and green pumps. Her hair was in a loose low ponytail, and had little strands playing about her face.

"OK!" she said "Let's go!"

The boys were all (as boys tend to) wearing t-shirts and jeans. Sirius kept sneaking glances at the girls' staircase, waiting for the girls to appear. Most of Gryffindor was here now, but everyone knew that the party would truly begin, only when the Marauders' girls were there. Sirius noticed Peter, whom he had seen neither hide nor hair of for months. Sirius sent a scowl his way, wondering what he'd been up to.

After five minutes the girls came running down the stairs

"Have we missed anything?!" Pan asked breathlessly.

And the party began.

After several hours the party was still going, even more raucous than before.

Most of the students. Including the Marauders, were completely wasted. Most people were now spending their time kissing, drinking more, or doing stupid and embarrassing dances/stunts that they would most likely not remember or regret in the morning.

Sirius and Pan were whirling round to the thumping music, sometimes pausing to bump into something, or to steal drunken kisses.

They eventually collapsed in front of the fire, giggling, and lay there with their arms around each other.

Sirius appeared to be thinking as hard as his brain could, in its current state. He carefully formed the words, trying not to slur, but not really managing.

"I.. love you... sho much"

Pan smiled blissfully, and returned the sentiment.

And for the last time really, in quite a few years, just about everyone was totally happy.

Had they been able to remember it, this would have been a night to never forget.
