Disclaimer: Same as before, and most likely won't change. Unless I make a big vat of Polyjuice Potion and make myself into J.K. Rowling, which most likely won't be happening any time soon.

A/N: Thanks for replying..... THE ONE PERSON THAT DID! Please, I beg of you, reply so I know what you people think of this! I'm also not wearing any glasses as I type this, so I'm sorry for any spelling mistakes. They broke and notepad doesn't have any spell check.

Chapter 2

Lily had her hands over her ears and was rolling in her bed yelling, "I DON'T WANT TO GET UP! I DON'T WANT TO GET UP! I DON'T WANT TO GET UP," over and over again.
Jamie slipped on her robes and started to brush her hair. Tessa did the same, but was putting on eyeshadow.
"Lily, don't we go through this every year?" asked Jamie, now pulling on her tennis shoes.
"Yeah, and don't you think you could get over it?" asked Tessa.
"Sure, why not," said Lily, stepping out of her four-poster. She looked terrible, due to the tantrum she just had in her bed.
"Lily, hurry up," said Jamie impatiently, looking at her as Lily brushed her hair.
"What's the hurry? We'll start the day sooner or later," said Lily.
"Is this about a guy, Jamie?" asked Tessa, her eyes wide.
"Ever notice how everything is about a guy with you, Tess?" asked Jamie, her arms crossed.
"Ever notice how it usually is about a guy with you, Jame?" asked Tessa, her eyes smiling with her mouth.
"I think you should shut up," said Jamie.
"I think you both should," said Lily, putting on her robes. "Ok, I'm ready, let's go."
"My God, Miss Lily Evans didn't take three hours in front of the mirror this morning," said Tessa.
"You didn't even do make-up," said Jamie. "That's very unlike you."
"Look at what I found in a magazine," said Lily. "You think of what you want your make-up to look like, then say, Beautious!" Then, magically, Lily's magic was on her face. "I've been wanting to try that all summer, but no. 'No magic outside of school!'" she finsished with a Professor McGonnagal mimic.
"Very nice," said Jamie, looking at Lily with pure awe.
"Teach us that, later," said Tessa, and pulled her two friends down the spiral staircase.
"Somehow I think it's you with the guy thing," said Jamie.
Tessa shot her the look of death, then walked into the common room. As usual, there was a mass of black cloaks talking and laughing. Lily, Tessa, and Jamie spotted the guys and made their way over to them.
"Look, the girls have arrived," said Sirius, looking up from a game of chess.
"Sure, whatever," said Lily, sitting down, her nose instantly into a magazine, Teen Witch.
"So, who's winning," Jamie asked Sirius and James, who were both looking at the pieces with extreme concentration.
"Me," they said in unision.
"Doesn't it always happen like that?" asked Tessa.
Just then, Professor McGonnagal rushed by, handing them their class schedules.
"Seventh years! Hey, you six, I recommend you go eat," she said.
"Nah, we usually don't eat breakfast," said Remus.
"Well, ok then. I'll be seeing you after lunch. You do eat lunch, right?" she said, and walked away.
"Is it just me, or is she being oddly friendly all of the sudden?" James said.
"Yeah, kind of weird," said Jamie.
"Oh, well, go James, it's your turn," Sirius said.



"I hate Potions," said Lily, under her breath to Sirius, who was sitting next to her.
"Who likes it, besides the Slyhterins?" Sirius muttered back to her while measuring a cup of bird spleen juices to but into their cauldron.
"And they are just idiots," Lily replied, stiring they're Hair Potion.
"I swear, this is so lame," Jamie said to James, who were sharing a cauldron in front of Lily and Sirius.
"Really, when's the next time we're going to need Hair Potion? Last time I checked, most seventeen year olds have full heads of hair," James said, loudly.
"Who knows. Maybe it's for Professor Harkins," said Remus, looking at their balding Potions teacher.
"Would not be suprised," said Tessa, turning the heat on her cauldron up.
"Now, I want you to try your Potions on the animals I am handing out," Professor Harkins' voice boomed and silenced them all. He had cages full of scrawny rats, toads, frogs, and other various animals. "If the animal sprouts hair, you have done yours correct, and you will not get an F. A D will be more sufficient." His eyes looked at the Gryffindor side of the room. "Not, get moving."
James and Jamie took the rat that looked half dead in the first place, Lily and Sirius ended up with a rabbit, and Remus and Tessa got a frog with bumbs all over it.
"It's a toad," said Remus.
"Ok, whatever, just shove some of that stuff down its throat," said Tessa, looking at it with disgust.
"Me? Why me? You do it!" Remus said, practically screaming.
"Really, you can hardly tell which of you is the girl," said Jamie, holding hers and James rat's mouth open as he dropped some of the potion into it's mouth.
"Hey, look!" James said as the rat swallowed the potion. It sprouted jet black hair, much like James'.
"Yeah, we did it!" Jamie said, doing a dance with the rat in her hands.
"Very good," said Professor Harkins with a sneer. "5 points to Gryffindor."
When he was out of earshot, Lily said, "Did he just gove Gryffondor points? Impossible!"
"Well, there's a first time for everything," said Sirius, who was dropping some of James and Jamie's potion into their rabbit. It instantly grew red hair, like Lily's.
"Um, we need some too," said Remus, taking the last bit out of the cauldron. Their frog grew pale blond hair like Jamie's.
"Well, now, let's see. 3 Gryffindor groups were able to turn their potion out right. Pitiful. But, we have 4 Slytherins. Very well. 100 points to Slytherin," Harkins barked.
"That asshole," said James under his breath.
"Shut up, he'll hear you," said Lily.
"Don't worry, James. When you beat them to the Quidditch Cup, they'll be far out of the running," Sirius reassured.
The bell rang and there was a mad rush to leave, mainly by the Gryffindors.
"What's next?" Sirius asked.
"Divination," said Lily, looking at her schedule.
"Have you guys seen Wormtail? I haven't seen him around in awhile," asked James as they climbed up the tall spiral case to the tower.
"Haven't seen him since yesterday on the train," Sirius huffed, passing Sir Caddogan who threatened him.
"When are they going to get rid of that idiot?" Sirius asked.
"He's the least of worries right now," said James. "We passed her classroom, c'mon."
"Let's see, placing bets for how James is going to die this week," Remus said under his breath when they got into Professor Trelawney's room.
"Drowning," said Jamie.
"Nah, she's used that one before," Sirius replied.
Just then Professor Trelawny made her appearance. She had her black hair in a bun, but it wasn't anything like Professor McGonnagal's bun, it was messy and falling out in various places. She had her regualar robes on with many many bangles. Her glasses were on her face, and her eyes looked enormous, as they normally did with the thick glasses. The room was full of a strange smelling perfume, that made them all feel sleepy. It was also very warm in the room, due to the roaring fire that was helping with the perfumey smell.
"Hello, it is good to see you all alive and well." Her eyes flickered to James. "I see that my Eye was wrong in predicting your death once again. I am proud, dear boy. There are few times that Sybil Trelawney's Inner Eye has been proven wrong."
Sirius snorted, and Professor Trelawney looked at him. "Is something wrong Mr Black?"
"No, nothing at all," he said, trying valiantly to keep a straight face.
"In that case, we shall move on. This year we are going to mainly be working on tarot readings and cards. Now, please, split into partners, and I will pass out the cards. Also, take out your texts and turn to Chapter 17," she said, floating over to a desk to pick up sone stacks of very old, very worn out cards.
Lily and Tessa sat at one table, James and Sirius at the next, and Jamie and Remus behind them. Professor Trelawney gave each of the tables one stack of cards.
"Today we are going to just deal with the Major Arcana cards. Now, have the partner with the cards lay them out, yes, like what Miss Ferris is doing. Ok, now, look in the books and see what each cards mean," she explained.
Jamie laid out the cards, looked at them, and said, "Do you have any aces?"
"Go fish," said Remus, grinning.
Over by James and Sirius, James was telling Sirius what he thought each card meant.
"Well, this one could be the lovers, ok let me see what that means. Commitment. Ok, then. And this one is the Devil, which means addiction. So you'll be commited to addictiom, I take it," James said, looking at his friend.
"This is so stupid," Lily said. "These cards are so old, I can't make out the pictures."
"Well, that one's the Fool. That better not mean I'm a fool," said Tessa.
"No, dear," Professor Trelawney said, bending over Tessa, making her choke on her perfume. "The Fool means Innocence."
"Ok, then," said Tessa, rolling her eyes.
"Now, everyone, swich cards and do your partner," Professor Trelawney instructed them after about ten minutes.
"Let's see, Jamesie-poo. You have the Emperor, that means, um, fatherhood. Ok, next card, the moon, that's deception, and um, and here's death, oh, fun, that means acceptance though, so maybe it's ok," said Sirius. "As in the words of Professor Trelawney, 'This is not a happy dealing.'"
"My God," said James, rolling his eyes.
"Hm, Lily, you have the Emperess, that's motherhood," said Tessa. "Hey, Si, didn't you just say that James has the Emperor?"
"Don't say it, Tessa," said Lily warningly.
"Just kidding, just kidding. Ok, what else do you have the Highpriestess, which is wisdom, which makes sense, because you are Head Girl," Tessa continued.
"Alright, class. Now, gather up your cards. It seems we have more time, so we will now go onto the Minor Arcana. In the book, they explain the meanings on the next page. Very good, not just do the same as before," said Professor Trelawney, passing out more cards.
"Just what we need. Let's see, James, I'm going to do you first. Here's the Cups 2, whatever that's supposed to mean. It's, um, love. Oh, how sweet. And this card is Swords 3, I guess, which means heartbreak. Wow, that makes sense. And this one here is Swords 10, which is defeat," said Sirius. "Very sorry," he added sarcastically.
"Oh my," Professor Trelawney said when she walked to James and Sirius's table.
"Oh no, is James going to die again?" Jamie said sarcastically, turning around.
"Oh my, Mr Potter. I would be on your guard," the Professor said, ignoring Jamie's remark.
James sighed. "Why should I be on my guard, Professor?"
"Right, here, you have the 5 of Cups, grief, the 7 of Wands, challange, and here, the 10 of Swords, which means defeat. Mr Potter, you should be very careful, becasue, if I am not mistaken, you will be defeated, and," she paused, a look of grief on her face, "die!"
Half the class gasped, mainly in sarcasm, the rest turned around adn rolled their eyes.
"Professor, if James would have died as many times as you have predicted it, he would be a medical wonder," Lily said skeptically.
"Miss Evans, look here, you have the same cards as Mr Potter does. You may die as well, if you aren't careful."
Lily looked at the Professor and rolled her eyes. "Ok, I will."
"That's good, now class, please gather your cards and pass them up, class will be over soon, I know it. My Inner Eye is telling me," said Professor Trelawney, addressing the class.
"So is that clock," Remus said under his breath.
"Now, class, for homework, give a brief description of each card you had dealed to you. Due next time we meet," she said, adnd disappeared into her office as the bell rang for lunch.
