Chapter 10 - More Notes and an Angry Lily:

James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Lily Evans, Catherine, Anna.

Okay, so your detention's tonight at 8?

Yep

Who with?

Filch, stupid git

Good, it'll be easy then.

What'll be easy?

Don't worry your pretty little head, Moony.

Padfoot, you know that telling me not to worry only makes me more nervous about whatever prank it is you're about to pull, don't you?

Course I do. But fear not, tis no foul that I have in store.

Padfoot, stop speaking in riddles, it's only Moony.

Thank you James

However, in light of the fact that you are still prefect, and feel a certain loyalty to our fine Head Girl, I am unable to enlighten you as to our plans for the evening.

Oh, come on James, you know I'd never rat you out!

That's true.

Yeah, ratting out is Peter's job

Ha ha, James! That was pun-tastic. Besides, you know he gets scared of McGonagall. And fair enough, too. If I had been in his shoes, I would've done the exact same thing.

Yeah, but you're a goody-goody.

Where is Peter anyway?

I think he's having a nap.

Yup, there he is - behind the girls. Ha! Get a load of Cat's face!
She's looking at him like he's just crawled out of the gutter.

He has, though. I have to say, it was a very lively full moon last night, all things considered.

Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Please note the sarcasm!

He didn't mean it Moony, you know how he can be.

Stop talking about me like I'm not here, Prongs.

I'm sorry Moony, did you hear something?

Can't say I did James.

That's strange.

Guys stop it, it's not funny!

On the contrary, it's rather hilarious.

You should see the look on your face - I've never seen someone pout so much!

With the possible exception of that time Cat took the last treacle tart at the welcome feast, when Sirius had had his eye on it.

Oh, now that was funny!

Shut up guys! I thought you were supposed to be my friends.

Ah, but what are friends for if not to tease and belittle?

If that's true, I have two of the best friends in the whole universe.

Ha ha, you know we love you Moony, so don't try and guilt-trip me into sympathy.

But Prongs, look at this scratch on my face - that was Padfoot's doing - what sort of a friend does that?

Hey, it was a full moon - I was just trying to stop you hurting yourself!

I know, I was just trying to make you feel bad. Stop writing about that time of the month, or people will work it out!

People will work what out?

Cat? When did you get here?

I just slid into the chair next to you, Sirius, how could you possibly not have noticed?

I was thinking about lunch, sorry.

It's okay. I should know by now that when not thinking about girls or quidditch, you are thinking about your stomach.

Hey Padfoot, a girl who understands you! Hallelujah!

Shut up Prongs!

So what will people work out?

No comment

Come on!

Promise you won't tell Lily?

Pinkie swear

Is that a girl thing?

It means I promise

Oh, okay.

James, don't.

Relax Moony, I was just going to tell Cat about my plan to sneak Sirius out of detention.

Oh, sorry!

Why, what did you think he was going to say?

Nothing, never mind..

Anyway, Sirius has detention tonight for hexing Snape.

He probably deserved it.

Anna? How many more of you are going to interrupt our note passing, which - you may have noticed - we have refined to a perfectly oiled machine of discretion. Don't be so bleeding obvious!

Since when do you of all people care about getting caught!

No comment.

Anyway, I'm sorry for interrupting what I'm sure would be a stimulating and intelligent conversation but I just came over here to tell Cat that Lily wants to speak to her.

What about?

Don't know - I think something to do with waking Peter up with a fun hex, if I recall correctly.

Won't keep her waiting then. Gentlemen.

I don't see any gentlemen, do you Prongs?

Nope, but that's not the point, what do you want me to do tonight? Cause a distraction, help you finish the task using magic do you get off early??

Are you going to bust Sirius out of detention tonight, James?

Well, yes, but don't tell Lily. I don't want her to get all grumpy at me again.

You can't ask her to keep a secret from her best friend, Prongs

Sure I can

Well, actually…

No, you can't tell her. Please!

Yeah, she'll stop James and I'll have to do some stupid detention all by myself! With Filch! Have compassion sweet Anna Banana!

I might be inclined to have more compassion if you didn't nickname me after my least favourite fruit.

Sorry, but it's the only one that rhymes.

I'm shaking my head in exasperation.

You do that so much, Moony, that we don't even notice anymore.

Remus?

Yes Anna banana.

Why are you friends with these goons?

You know what? That's a very good question!

Anna, please don't tell Lily!

I'll try, but if it comes up in conversation, I'm not going to lie for you.

Why not?

Because, unlike you Padfoot, she has a strong set of morals.

Thank you Remus.

Anytime.

I'm going to go help Cat and Lily torture your friend now. See you guys later.

Don't hurt him!

Since when do you care so much, Paddy?

Since he's the only one that might ever take my side in an argument - traitor!

Whatever, I so can't be bothered arguing with you right now. It also occurs to me that since we are in this study period we should actually do some studying.

I agree Moony, I don't get much done in my common room these days.

Coz Jamsie's got a crush!

I do not. I just meant that I'm always busy with Head's duties, that's all.

Sure, sure, I totally believe you.

Glares at two supposed best friends

Glares back

Carefully reminds said best friend about deal to get him out of detention

Oh, right! Sorry Prongs! Please, anything, distraction sounds good - lend me your cloak too - it'll help.

Okay, but I'll need the map to draw Filch out in the right direction.

Okay, I'll be in the trophy room I think, so whenever you're ready?

Cool, now let's get a wriggle on.

A wriggle on?

Shut it Moony.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lily Evans, Catherine, Anna

I'm so bored.

Me too, studying bites!

You two are so easily distracted, just knuckle down and study already.

And what is this? Anna Banana actually wanting to study - has the world gone topsy turvy?

How many times do I have to tell you not to call me Anna banana!

Apparently more times than you already have.

Ha - very funny Catherine, darling, but you forget the beautiful leaverage I have with your middle name.

You mean…

Don't you dare write it! I hate my stupid middle name - my parents must've had too much fire whiskey when they decided it would be appropriate to name me after my great aunt!

Are you kidding? I think Euphemia suits you down to the ground!

I can't believe you just wrote that down. I'm going to tear that bit of parchment off and eat it later.

You sound like Black - he will eat anything, I swear, it's disgusting.

Speaking of disgusting marauders, look behind us.

Oh, gross! He's drooling everywhere!!

He looks like he just climbed out of the gutter!

He probably did.

Eww, I have to get away. I'm gonna go ask the guys why Peter's all the way over here.

Maybe it's coz of his snoring.

Probably.

I'm going to take Cat's momentary absence as an opportunity to ask you what's going on?

What do you mean 'what's going on?'

I mean that for the past two weeks you haven't so much as glanced at another guy.

So?

So, it's completely unlike you. Usually, and don't take this the wrong way Anna, but by this time last year you were on your second boyfriend of the term and now your completely single.

Gee, thanks.

No, but can you see where I'm coming from?

You know, I might go and chat with the Marauders

No don't go, I didn't mean to upset you or anything. I was just wondering if maybe you went through a bad break-up on the break or, I don't know, already have a boyfriend that you don't want to tell us about or…

Or what?

Or maybe, I don't know, you've decided to bat for the other team?

Lils, I'm sorry to disappoint, but I'm not gay.

What a pity!

Lily, I never knew you felt that way!

Ha! Oh the wonders of sarcasm. So if you still like boys…

Which I most certainly do!

Then why haven't you hooked up with anyone yet. I mean what happened to my list.

What list?

The list of all the guys you've been with at Hogwarts.

Why, Lily, I always thought you disapproved of that book.

I do, but that doesn't mean I'm not interested.

Ah, sweet innocent Lily, a closet pervert

Oh shut up, banana head!

That's it, I'm going to go talk to the marauders.

Well, I suppose it's more interesting than studying.

I'm all alone,

No one's going to read this, most probably, I will hide this part of the note.

But while I'm here I may as well record what I see.

Peter is behind me, snoring and drooling - lord only knows why. Cat and Anna are over talking to the marauders to which I repeat - lord only knows why.

Actually, Cat's over there coz I was bugging her. Anna is over there for an entirely different reason. Now, I suspect that she has a crush on one of them. This would explain why she hasn't made a move on anyone else this year. I have yet to work out which one of them she likes, all I know is it's not Peter. Oh, look, Cat's coming back.

Hey, how goes it in the world of boring note passing?

You're right, it would be way easier just to talk to one another.

Yes, but that would indeed be to simple for us, wouldn't it Lils?

Fair point. So what are we going to do tonight?

I dunno.

Why do you look guilty all of a sudden? Are you not telling me something?

No

No you're not not telling me something, or no you aren't telling me something?

Err, both?

Hey guys.

Hey, Cat's not telling me something!

Oh?

What?

Nothing

You know too!

I know nothing!

I, too, deny categorically any knowledge of any stupid pranks that the marauders are going to pull tonight.

Me too, but if I did know anything, I would be guessing that James is going to spring Sirius out of detention tonight. Whoops!

Oh that, I knew about that

Really? How come?

Oh, I overheard them talking about it last night. Sirius was furious that the new teacher had given him a detention and stormed into our quarters complaining to James. I told him that it served him right, and then I stormed up to my room. But I had the foresight to eavesdrop, and overheard James agree to help Sirius.

That's awfully nice of him though.

No it's not. It's irresponsible and stupid.

No, I have to agree with Cat on this one. Springing Sirius from detention is not going to cause anyone any harm. It's kinda an act of loyalty, if you ask me.

Well, I still reserve the right to be mad at him, I am Head Girl.

He's Head Boy, remember?

Yup - Dumbledore must've had a stroke or something.

Lils, you're being awfully stubborn about this.

And I don't care. Let's just get back to studying or something, okay?

Fine, there's no point arguing with you when you get like this anyway.

Good-o. I'm going to go grab my potions book. See you later guys xo

She's got it so bad!

Too bad she hasn't worked it out yet.
