A/n: Okay, this is my last chapter until I get back from my trip. This chapter it isn't much. And, I'm very glad that my last chapter had got so much reviews that I thought it would! It truly surprised me, as I thought I was only going to get only a couple like previous ones. Also, some of you begged me for Sirius and Lauren to hook up. Well, just to let you know, I don't think I'm going to have them hook up. Sorry…but don't worry! I've been thinking of a sequel to this story, and I might think about it. Well, enjoy! : )

Chapter 11 – The Attack of the Chickens

On their way to dinner, Lily noticed that Lauren kept scratching her arm repeatedly.

"Lauren, is something wrong?" Lily asked, looking down curiously.

"Yeah, I'm fine, it's just this rash on my arm, it's killing me," Lauren replied, showing Lily her arm.

"Ouch, that looks like it hurts," Sirius said, poking at her arm, as if he was inspecting it. Lily, being the only other muggle born, knew exactly what it was.

"Sirius! Don't touch it!" Lily said, swapping his hand away.

"Why? You're acting like it some contagious disease or something," Remus replied, laughing. Lily didn't say anything, and all eyes dawned on her.

"Lily? Do you know what this rash is? Am I going to die?" Lauren questioned her, slightly worried.

"No! You're not going to die! But you're contagious," Lily said, and James, Remus, and Sirius immediately backed away from her and their infectious friend.

"Well, Lily, than what do I have?" Lauren asked, all worries gone about dieing.

"To tell you the truth, I'm not really sure, but did you ever have the chickenpox when you were younger?" Lily asked.

Lauren looked thoughtful for a moment than shook her head. "No, why?"

"Well, you've got it," Lily told her, and the four boys looking very confused.

"Lauren is going to turn into a chicken?" James asked, surprised. Lily looked like she was going to burst into giggles.

"No! It's just a muggle rash type thing that only lasts a few days, that's all," Lily explained. "And Lauren you're going to the Hospital Wing. And stop scratching!" Lily ordered.

"But I can't help it! Now they are on my other arm!" Lauren responded, now rubbing her arms.

"Are you sure Lauren isn't going to turn into a chicken?" Sirius asked, following the two girls, along with James and Remus, a couple strides behind them.

"Yes, Sirius, I'm sure," Lily, answered in an annoyed tone.

"Wait, if Lauren is contagious, than why are you near her Lily?" Remus asked.

"Because, it wouldn't affect me because I already had them when I was younger," Lily answered.

"So how did Lauren get it? Was she attacked by chickens?" Sirius asked, curious. Lily didn't answer, and just rolled her eyes.

"Oh dear, what happened to Miss Jelloson, now?" Madam Pomfrey asked as they walked into they Hospital Wing. She knew Lauren quite well from when Lauren had accidents with the buldger during Quidditch season, which happened a lot.

"She was attacked by chickens," Sirius said, and the nurse knit her eyebrows in confusion.

"No, she wasn't attacked by chickens. She just has the chickenpox," Lily said, slapping Lauren's hand to stop scratching her arm.

"Oh dear, I'm afraid that she would be staying here until she's fully healed, because we don't have a potion for that," Madam Pomfrey told the four, leading them to a bed where Lauren would be at. "Lay here, dear," she said.

Lauren obeyed, and crawled into the bed. Then she started scratching her arms, as well as her neck and abdomen. Lily was about to protest, but Madam Pomfrey beat her to it.

"Miss Jelloson! I advise that you stop that scratching immediately, unless you want to have scars all over your body," Madam Pomfrey scolded Lauren, and she stopped her itching straight away.

"Yes, Ma'am," Lauren said, like if she was a little five year girl getting in trouble for pushing another child to the ground, as Madam Pomfrey went to her office. The boys sniggered quietly at Lauren's reaction, while Lily gave them a death glare.

"Well, there's no use staying here you guys, might as well head for dinner without me," Lauren told them, lifting up her shirt sleeve to see little red dots all over her arms.

"Okay, but we'll be back her after dinner to visit you," Lily promised, giving her friend a pat on her red-spotted hand.

The boys exchanged their get-well-soons to Lauren, still staying far away from her. Once they left, Madam Pomfrey came out of her office with a pair of mittens and a bottle of pink liquid.

Sirius and Remus were following closely behind James and Lily. They saw that Lily "accidentally" brushed her hand against James. They noticed that both their cheeks grew red.

"Wow, looks like our dear Lilikins has a few tricks up her sleeve as well," Sirius said, in a proud tone for their friend.

"What do you mean, 'a few tricks up her sleeve'?" Remus asked.

"Did you see when Lily "accidentally" brushed her hand with James's?" Sirius asked quietly, so that the two mentioned people wouldn't hear him.

"Yeah, so?" Remus answered, look back and forth from Sirius to James and Lily.

"I never knew that she could play like that! You know, flirt a little, but not enough to make it noticeable?" explained Sirius. Remus just raised and eyebrow.

"Ok, right. Well, now what are we going to do since Lauren has the chickenpox?" Remus asked, now that they were short one 'agent'.

"Well, actually, I haven't thought that far yet…" Sirius trailed off, lost in thought.

"Well, I guess we have to wait until we visit her after dinner than," Remus said, as they entered the Great hall, and once again, they made sure that James and Lily were sitting by each other.

"Lily, I'm telling you! The Cannons are going to make the World Cup this year!" James concluded, as they sat down at their house table.

"James, I've told you at least a dozen times that the Cannons are not going to the World Cup! Puddlemere United is," Lily argued back, with a wide smile playing on her face.

"Ah, Quidditch. The number one conversation starter," Sirius stated, eating some of his mash potatoes.

"Wow, Sirius, I would of never guessed. I always thought it was frolicking in the halls in the middle night, in your underwear was," Remus said, sarcastically, eating some of his own mash potatoes.

"Ha ha, that's funny, Remus! Well, anyway, what do you think we should do next, to finally complete this mission once and for all?" Sirius asked, his mouthful of peas and carrots, looking over at the 'subjects'.

Remus looked over at the too, and shrugged. "I actually don't know, but like I said before, we should wait until we talk to Lauren."

Sirius nodded and quietly continued eating his meal, while him and Remus eavesdropped on their 'subject's' conversation.

"Okay, so what if Greenland and Scotland go? Which team would you want to win?" James asked Lily.

"Scotland," she answered, simply.

"Why? Is it because of their good looks?" James teased.

"Well, not only that, their sexy accents too, but that doesn't matter, they have Sean MacDonald on their team now," Lily replied.

"Ah, yes MacDonald. He's an excellent keeper isn't he?" James said, smiling at Lily's knowledge on Quidditch. He knew that she liked to keep up with the professional teams, for quite a while, but he could help to think that she was perfect for him.

After dinner ended, the four Gryffindors made their way to the Hospital Wing to visit their red polka-dotted friend, like they promised. They walked through the doors to see their friend looking angry, and well…red-spotted.

"Hey, chicken face," Sirius teased, walking up to Lauren, but not too close.

"Ha ha, very funny. I'm in tears," Lauren said sarcastically. She didn't look too happy.

"What's with the mittens?" Remus asked, noting that she was wearing mittens.

"Madam Pomfrey made me wear them so I would stop scratching myself, and I can't take them off because she charmed them to stay on," Lauren answered, bitterly.

"So, I guess you're not doing to well are you?" Lily asked.

"Nope. This is like torture or something, and these annoying little itchy red things are everywhere!" Lauren told them, attempting to itch her arm, but failed.

After Lauren told them all the suffering she was going through, James and Lily went back to their own little world and started chatting. Than Remus and Sirius explained to her that they were totally brain dead about their next plan.

"I've got one…" Lauren answered proud of her first plan, and maybe the last, of the mission. Remus and Sirius came towards her, paying close attention.

A/n: Well, I think I should leave you guys there before I put the next chapter up. I know that this chapter isn't much, but it's only what I could think of, and for some reason, I've been thinking about the sequel I was planning to do. Well, anyways, when I come back from my trip (which I'm going to make sure I'm going to write the rest of it during the drive), I would post the next chapter, and maybe the last. I'm not sure; it depends on how everything goes. Well, 'til next time then! : )
