The next morning I woke up with an ear-splitting headache. I turned around to find Sirius asleep on

the floor next to me. "Sirius wake up," I said. "Nmfa," he mumbled. I slapped him in the back of the

head sharply. He jumped up and said, "Damn Lily what the hell was that for?" "Get yo lazy ass up" I

said, "We're gonna be late for breakfast." Sirius immediately got up when he heard this. "Well what

are we waiting for c'mon what's takin' you so long," he said. "Sirius shut the hell up," I snapped, "I

have a huge headache and you're making it worse." I looked around and noticed Jelly was gone. She

must've went to breakfast already. "Sirius hold on while I go change," I said. He followed me in the

bathroom. "Okay I'll sit and watch," he said. I slapped him in the head. "Or not," he winced. I didn't

bother with a shower I just threw on a long sleeved black body suit that said, " Flower's are ok,

Jewelry's best, Look at me idiot not at my chest." I slapped on some lip-gloss, tied my hair up in a

ratty ponytail with black streaks, slipped on some black combats and left with Sirius. "Bye Gwen," I

called over my shoulder. Sirius and me chatted playfully until we reached The Great Hall. Everybody

stared at us in surprise as we walked in. "Eat your damn food," I growled. Everyone quickly stopped

staring and started talking again. Sirius and me sat down at the end next to the rest of the

Marauders. They stared at us as we joked around with each other. "Sirius what do you think you're

doing?" asked Potter. "I'm talking to Lily," said Sirius clearly confused. "But why are you talking to

her?" asked Lupin. "Because she's my friend," he said dumbly. "The hell she is," said Potter, "I will

not tolerate her." Before I could say anything Sirius said, "Well I guess it's a good thing you don't

have to tolerate her since she's my friend and not yours." "Fine whatever," said a grumpy Potter.

Lupin however stared at me as I heaped a mound of food on my plate. "Lupin stop staring it's quite

unnerving," I said finally without looking up from my plate. Sirius caught my eye and winked at me.

At that moment Celestrial flew down and landed in Potter's orange juice splashing him. I laughed

hysterically as Potter wiped orange juice off of his glasses. He glared at me. "What can I say," I said

innocently, "She likes to make an entrance." I grabbed the letter she handed me and opened it. It was

from the guys and when I finished reading it I was feeling that familiar pang of separation anxiety

again. But then I got an idea that made me grin happily. "Lils do you wanna go play a game of

Quidditch with us?" said Sirius. "Nah you go on Siri I have something to take care of," I said. Then I

got up and walked to Dumbledore's office. The gargoyle didn't budge until I said the password

( bubblicious) and skipped in. "Ms. Evans what brings you here now? asked Dumbledee.

"Actually Dumbledee, I need a favor."

"Yes?"

I filled him in on Spud's tradition. So you see I said, "I'd like to go." "Ms. Evans I am sorry but I just

cannot allow it," he said finally. "The school is very busy at the moment with certain things and

Halloween's approaching fast and we are having a bit of trouble with finding entertainment. I have

not the time to focus on anything else at the moment." "Entertainment for what?" I asked.

"Entertainment for the Halloween carnival we have set up this year." "Whoa back up when did you

decide on a carnival?" I said. Dumbledee's eyes twinkled happily as he said, "Ms. Evans had you not

been tuning me out everytime I spoke then you most certainly would know of this." "Yeah well get

use to it," I said teasingly.

"So what kind of carnival is it?"

"Professor Brentwood's Muggle Studies class has been studying about muggle carnival's and now

have decided to put one on to test their knowledge of the subject. I agreed to it instead of the usual

feast."

"So what's the problem then?"

"Our entertainment has backed out."

"Oh pish posh, I'll be the entertainment."

"May I ask what you'll be doing Ms. Evans?"

"Singing and guitar playing."

"That's most generous of you Ms. Evans."

"Who said anything about being generous? I do you this favor and you do me my favor."

"Ah, I figured there would be a reason behind this."

"So do we have a deal."?

"Yes I believe we do."

We shook hands and as I was leaving I turned and said, " If I do the show then I do it my way.

Meaning no Professors jumping up to interrupt my show." "Agreed" said Dumbledee. "So what else

is keeping the school busy?" I asked mildly curious. Dumbledee only said, "Curiosity killed the cat

Ms. Evans." I smiled and said, "Maybe but satisfaction brought it back." Dumbledee's eyes twinkled

merrily as I walked out.
