A/N: Ta, to those who reviewed, it's been much appreciated. Well, I'm still indecisive on what to do, so I have a poll on my account thingy, so please vote. Yes, I know I haven't updated in ages so I decided I shall finally get off my lazy ass and do so. Something that prompted me to get up and type it is because I read through the chapters yesterday and re-grammar-tised it and edited it. So, hopefully there are not to many mistakes anymore. Those you reviewed shall get cookies and cream ice-cream.


Chapter 10: The Prewett Twins, Random Questions and Little Outbursts

"Sirius, this all your fault," hissed the voice of Hestia Jones as she polished yet another trophy alongside Tonks and Charlie.

"Me? You started it!" exclaimed Sirius.

"Yeah, well, you-" started Hestia fuming.

"I what?"

"You baited me," Hestia said simply.

"I did no such thing! You were the one who flipped me off in the first place!"

"Me? You basically made me do that! Anyways, I wouldn't have done it if you didn't start fighting with me."

"I did not-"

Tonks sighed, that had been at it for a good 10 minutes. "For God sakes! Shut up! The sooner we get this done, the sooner we can leave."

"Says you, we've got another detention after this, and the rest of the week we've got detention with McGonagall!" exclaimed Hestia.

"Well, it's your own fault!" snapped Tonks.

"SHUT UP! ALL OF YOU! YOUR ACTING AS THOUGH YOU'RE STILL CHILDREN!" yelled Charlie.

A knock came from the door frame. Sirius, Hestia, Tonks and Charlie turned towards to face the occupants. There were to identical twins standing in the door frame.

"Sorry to bother you, mates," came the voice of one of them.

"Yes, dreadfully sorry. But Missy McGonagall gave us detention here."

"Wait a second. Who are you?" asked Charlie.

The twins looked taken aback. "Who are we?" They asked in unison.

"Bloody Prewett twins," muttered Sirius audibly. Charlie's eyes widened dramatically as the name registered in his head. They were his mother's younger brothers. Twin brothers to be exact.

"Who?" Tonks asked Sirius.

"Surely you know who we are. I'm Gideon Prewett," introduced one of the red-haired twins, offering his left hand.

"Fabian Prewett," introduced the twin standing next to him.

"So, what did you guys get in for?" Charlie asked the twins.

Gideon sighed. "It wasn't even that big! I mean, we only set fire to the baking paper in Muggle Studies!"

"How on earth did you manage that?" asked Hestia, raising her eyebrow.

Fabian grinned. "How were we supposed to remember it was a gas oven?"

"So, what did you get in for?" asked Gideon.

"Well, Jones and I got caught fighting with each other in the hall at breakfast, and then we were late to class with Tonksie and Charlie," replied Sirius smirking.

"Why were you late?"

"Tonks fell and hit her head, so Charlie had to carry her," replied Hestia, her green eyes twinkling mischievously.

Both the Fabian and Gideon cocked an eyebrow.


Emmeline was the first to break the awkward silence they had been put between the two groups; Emmeline and Lily vs. James, Remus and Peter. Bullocks, they were out-numbered.

"Huh," said Lily as she lay on the heath rug in the Gryffindor Common Room. "Well, isn't this cosy," she said sarcastically.

Lily sighed. "Yep."

"How much longer?" asked Remus.

"Till what?" asked Peter.

"Till our detention," Remus responded.

James cocked a mocking eyebrow. "Our detention? No, Moony old pal, yours and Vance's detention."

"Whatever. How long?"

"I'd say judging by the clock over there it's about half an hour, what can't you tell the time?" asked James, partronizingly.

Lily smirked. "Why, Potter. I'm surprised you can."

"Oh, burn."

"Shut up, Moony! Evans, you'll be surprised what I can do."

Emmeline screwed her face up in disgust. "Is that just me, or does anyone else think that sounded extremely sus?"

"Do you guys like cheese?" asked Peter randomly.

Emmeline blinked while James snorted.

"I guess," Emmeline answered.

Remus sighed. "Pete, I won't even dignify that question with an answer."

"How much longer?" Emmeline groaned.

Lily glanced up from her book and up at the clock in the corner of the Common Room and sighed. "About another twenty-five minutes."

"What do you reckon it would feel like to be claustrophobic?" asked Peter.

"Well, say if you were trapped in an enclosed room, you feel as if the walls are closing in on you. You feel suffocated, and then your anxiety increases making it really hard to breathe. All you can really focus on is getting out. If it gets too bad, you could have a panic attack."

"How would you know, Evans?" questioned James.

"Not that it's any of your business but one of the girl's in the Gryffindor Girl's dormitories is claustrophobic."

"Who?"

Lily raised an eyebrow. "Why would I tell you, Potter? For all I know you could be planning too unlease your immaturity with the rest of your little friends."

"What is your problem? God Evans, you think you know everything about everyone, when you don't! You say I'm immature, when your being just as immature back to me! You're rude to me upfront with your stupid comments about everything! You think I'm bloody stupid, but the truth is I'm not! Why do you think Dumbledore chose me out of a hell of a lot more people to be Head Boy? I don't even know why I even bother to waste my time on you! Hell, I don't even sodding know why I'm in love with you!" with that James stormed up the stairs of the boys dormitories, pushing his way through the crowd which had gathered there when they had heard him yelling, with Remus and Peter trailing behind him.

Lily stared at James' retreating figure as it disappeared up the stairs in shock, as did the rest of the occupants in the Gryffindor Common Room, other members from the house who had heard his outburst had gathered on the seperate staircases of the dormitories; both girls and boys.

"Enough gawking everyone! Sod off and get back to your miserable lives!" came the loud voice of the sixth year, Dorcas Meadowes. Lily was lead up the stairs of the girls dormitories by Emmeline who was grasping her by the wrist firmly.

Lily felt tears building in her eyes.

Sorry, according to a reviewer, she couldn't review for some reason, so you might have to review anonymously if the same happens to you...
