HOWDY! READ THIS AUTHOR'S NOTE PLEASE!

This chapter will be the start of year 5. IKNOWISKIPPEDFOURIMSOSORRY.
What you've missed between years 3-5: Lily has turned to Severus more because she thinks James is arrogant. He is announcing his love for her and constantly asking her out which annoys her. Also, they're getting closer to becoming animagus. That's really about it. Nothing too good.

"OI! EVANS!" James walked down the hallway in between Sirius and Remus with Peter Pettigrew in tow, drawn by sheer admiration.

A small golden snitch was in his right hand, wandering a few inches before he snatched it once more, being tossed and caught repeatedly.

She ignored him and hurried down the hall with Severus Snape.

"Is she always this shy?" James asked, oblivious to her hatred.

"She's not shy, James." Remus answered, sighing.

"But why is she always with Snivellus? Why not me? I mean, just look at me-" he flashed a smile- "there's no contest in attractiveness."

Remus sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"You're right. Maybe you'll catch up to Snivelly one day." Sirius snorted.

James hit him on the back of the head as they turned the corner to Muggle Studies.

James and Sirius sat next to each other, coincidentally behind Lily and Marlene, and Remus and Peter sat behind Mary and Alice.

Professor Nettles, an elderly old man stood in front of the class. "Excellent. We're all here." The kids in the back strained to hear his quiet voice.

"I can't believe Evans. We were practically friends in our third year!"

"And then you started to hex Snivelly even more."

"And then I started to hex Snivelly even more."

James and Sirius whispered. Lily's head cocked to the left side but other than that, it did not appear that she had even heard them."

"I've decided we're going to do a bit of a project." Everyone turned and found a partner, whispers filled the classroom.

"The partners will be chosen by me." he chuckled lightly. The whispers that had previously filled the classroom became groans.

"During the next few weeks you will be doing research on the muggle device that you and your partner will receive." He paused. "Any questions?" Silence. "Good. Here are your partners."

He picked up a wrinkled piece of parchment.

Lily straightened.

"Mr. Black and Miss. McKinnon." Sirius pumped his fist in the air and Marlene groaned. As much as she liked Sirius, completing a class assignment is not going to be easy with him as your partner.

"Miss. McDonald and Mr. Pettigrew." Mary gave Peter a small smile and he smiled back at her weakly. Mary knew that he wasn't very good in his classes, but he'd be willing to try. That would be good enough for her.

" and..." Professor Nettles coughed into the back of his hand and cleared his throat.

"The suspense is killing me." James joked.

"Sorry. Mr. Potter and Miss. Prewett." Alice smiled warmly at James. She knew he was good in his classes, and they had been childhood friends.

"Well, that leaves and ." Being prefects together, Remus and Lily had become good friends. Lily rose and walked over to Remus's table as the others began to move to their partners.

began handing out strange looking muggle devices.

A large box was dropped in front of Sirius and Marlene with the word "Monopoly" written across it. They looked at each other and shrugged. Sirius soon discovering that the box did not contain food.

I small ring with a large gemstone was dropped in front of Lily and Remus. Both smiled, already knowing what their object was.

A thin red contraption was dropped in front of Alice and James. It had two white knobs that were placed under what appeared to be a light grey screen. Both Alice and James looked utterly confused.

Lastly, a red egg shaped object was dropped in front of Mary and Peter. Mary, being a muggleborn, picked it up and cracked it open. Peter watched as she took out the light pink blob. She smiled and handed it to him, telling him about the toy and he stretched and bounced the putty.

Professor Nettles handed out the rest of the contraptions to the class and the students began to examine their muggle devices.

Lily and Remus had already began creating their presentation and key card to their "Mood Ring". Mary and Peter were working well too, as she had explained to him how the "Silly Putty" worked. Alice and James were getting absolutely nowhere on their "Etch-A-Sketch". Both being purebloods, they had to ask Lily to help them. Marlene and Sirius had found the directions on their Monopoly game and had begun to play, although they had not yet discovered why the pieces did not move on their own.
