"Hi James, my son!"

James Potter turned, and groaned. Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, his supposedly best friends, were making their way over to him, by the fireplace in the Gryffindor common room.

"who did you (A/N: wrote it again!! lol....) kill?" sarcasm etching in James' voice.

"no, one" Sirius said, and looked at Remus giving him a look that clearly said, "James has finally lost it!" Remus laughed at Sirius' stupidity.

"Sirius, it was a joke!" told Remus.

"I knew that!"

"Whatever..."

"Anyways boys, did you actually have something to tell me? Because if not will you please leave, as the ladies seem to find your presence rather disturbing!"

"James, did anyone tell you that you have the biggest head imaginable?" Remus asked his friend

"Why thank you, kind Remus" James replied

"Anyway" Sirius interrupted "we have the list for you!"

"Really?" James asked " lets have a look..." he made a grab for it, but Sirius, with his Quidditch made reactions, lifted the list out of James' reach, meaning that James fell on the Gryffindor table, interrupting a game of wizard chess (A/N: is that what it is called? Only I couldn't remember...)

"James, you idiot!"

James muttered something illegible, while apologizing to the owner of the (now) crumpled chess set.

"Anyway, as I was saying before I was RUDELY interrupted" Sirius gave a glance at James " here we have James' list, now, there are 14 girls on this list, u have to pick 7 of them....and you only have 4 days to go out and pull them..."

The look on James' face was one of disbelieve, "excuse me?" he muttered.

"and if you complete your mission, you will receive 4 galleons, courtesies of Remus and me..."

"Remus and I, actually Sirius..."

"Whatever, but if James doesn't complete his task, he owes US 2 galleons, EACH!"

"oh my god, where is justice?" James asked, his face a look of horror. "That cant be fair!"

"Are you trying to say that you CANT DO IT, because you have LOST YOUR TOUCH?" Remus asked, his face a gleam.

"No, its just that...just that...well...yeah..."

"So, are you gonna do it, then?"

"Well I dunno....." (A/N: remind you of anyone, ....Charlie burness....ahem.....)

Remus and Sirius suddenly gave James a look of pure venom that actually made a few people in the room quiver.

"ok, ok I'll do it!"

"Great!" they both replied at the same time, Sirius then thrust the piece of paper into James' hand, and he and Remus ran out of the wooden framed door of the Gryffindor common room, cackling...

"Why do I not like the sound of this..." James muttered, and made his way up the flowing marble staircase to the elegant 5th year Boys Dormitory.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Oh my god, LILY!" Charlie Matthews screamed and ran up to her friend, and gave her a big hug.

" Lily, what happened?" asked Minny McGonagall (A/N: I have just realized that McGonagall wouldn't have been Minerva's last name at that age, so, she either didn't get married, or married some second cousin with the same last name, ok?)

"what do you mean, what happened...?"

"well, you look...stunning..."

"Don't be ridiculous Minny, I just had my braces off!"

"But your hair..."

"yeh, what do you think about that, it was my mum's idea, I am not sure I like it, do you?"

"It looks...fantastic" Charlie said, realizing Lily from her death deifying grip. "You almost look as good as me!"

"Oh Charlie you idiot! Come on, I wanna get to the dorm before first period..." (A/N: soz, but I call the first lesson first period, don't ask...skool thing, anyways that's what they are gonna call it...) and the three girls made their way through the sunny, spectacular Great Hall entrance way and up to the Gryffindor corridor.

"You know, Lily looks quite stunning now, doesn't she?" Minny asked her friend, as they made they're way.

"She sure does..." it was true, Lily DID look quite stunning...with her braces off it showed her (now) perfectly straight, white teeth, and her haircut had done wonders. Her shoulder-length hair, shaped her face and made her high cheekbones stand out, there were a few golden highlights, just streaking through her hair so that when the sun caught it, the gold made the red stand out even more...And now her usually straight hair, was now curled, it gave her whole face and hair an extra bounce.

"it is just a shame about her boobs, fashion and posture..." Charlie replied, gazing at her friend (A/N: NO, not in that way.....)

"Charlie, how can you say such a thing!" Minny asked in amazement.

"Its true, and Lily would have told you the same thing! But anyway, we are going to sort it so that she is PERFECT!"

"How are we gonna do that?" Minny asked

"We will just have to work a bit of Charlie 'n' Minny magic!"

Minny looked at her friend, sighed and shook her head. "They are both something else!" she told herself.

James Potter groaned, "why did his friends have to be such bastards?" he thought to himself (A/N: it is a 13....)

"You ok James?" Frank Longbottom said as he entered the room, Frank and another boy, shared a room with James, Remus and Sirius. Frank wasn't "one of the group" but he was nice to talk to.

"Yeah, I am fine...kinda... what about you?" James asked

"Well, the thing is that um...there's this girl you see...."

"oh" James said, "why does the WORLD revolve around girls!" he thought in exasperation.

"and I don't know how to umm...ask her out, 'cos the Hogsmeade trip is comin' up and I wanted to ask her to that..."

"Why don't you write her a letter?" James replied "it was always a hit with me!"

"yeah, but it is alright for you, you are good looking, everyone fancies you, well...obviously not the guys...but you know...."

"yeah, I know! You aren't that bad, Longbottom!"

"Whatever..." Frank wasn't that bad, he had short brown hair that was jelled into spikes, and he had jet black eyes and olive skin, he really wasn't that bad!

"Just do it, you have nothing to lose!"

"Your right! Thanks James, hope whatever is troubling you go's away!" and with that Frank left the messy room of the boys dorm leaving James to think, "I wish" he peered down at his list and groaned again, and fell on his unmade bed.

(A/N: ok, this is the list, the writing next to the name is what the girls are like, if you get what I mean!)

"This is the list of girl's James Potter has to pull" it said, in Sirius messy writing

Lucy Harringway a Ravenclaw, quite pretty/ Olivia Nightingale fellow Gryffindor, James has already been out with her, v. pretty.

Samantha Crustic a Slytherin, v.pretty but snobby/Jasmin Prumaiy Hufflepuff, quite plain and very noisy, funny laugh

"Why me? Why me?" James muttered
