CHAPTER 6
Lily, Jimena and Sierra arrived at Diagon Alley at 10am which is when they decided to meet with the guys. They had been waiting for a while at the ice cream shop when they heard something, a whizzing sound. They looked for where it was coming from and noticed that it was Sirius and James, setting off 5 dung bombs below their table. The girls got up as quickly as they could, and made a run for it.
Then they heard the explosion. Boom! Sirius and James came up to them grinning, but looking disappointed that they'd missed the girls.
"Next time you want to get us with bombs, try the quiet kind." Sierra said, giving Sirius a hug. (A/N they are still going out!)
"Hey is Remus around?" Lily asked looking around.
"No, why?" James asked back, raising an eyebrow.
"No reason." She said quickly.
"Hey why did you guys, um, how do I put this. Pull a prank on us?!" Jimena asked loudly.
"Err, we felt like it?" James answered unsure.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Sierra questioned.
"Well, everything has been so boring so we decided to lighten up the mood a bit." Sirius said while they were escorted out of the shop, since they had, erm, disrupted the peace. They decided to stop by the robe shop. As they walked Sirius and James explained their new theory.
"Okay, we were thinking, this year we were going to try and cause more trouble then anyone ever has before!" James stated simply.
"Yeah, we have to make a name for ourselves at Hogwarts, first year we were just planning it…" Sirius said only half serious about it. Lily got a feeling they were leaving something out of it, but kept listening to the conversation.
"You boys sure do think up some weird things." Jimena said shaking her head.
"Why thank you!" They said at the same time and bowed.
"This year sure is going to be a fun one!" Sierra whispered to Lily.
"Oh that reminds me!" Lily said, honestly it hadn't really reminded her, just thinking of fun made her think of quidditch. "Are either of you trying out for the quidditch team?"
James and Sirius' faces lit up. "Yeah, of course! I live for quidditch!" James proclaimed.
"Me too, I'm trying out for the last beater position." Sirius told them.
"I'm trying out for Chaser." James informed them.
"Me too." Lily said she kind of felt bad competing against James; he would probably beat her in the positions. Lucky for her there were two Chaser positions free.
"Wow, we could all end up on the Gryffindor team! How well do you play Lils?" Sirius said getting excited.
"She plays great! She's a natural!" Sierra piped up. "Even Jimena thinks so!"
"Yeah, she's great, for a muggle born!" Jimena teased. Lily mocked hurt.
"I just hope you guys are telling the truth, I don't know what GOOD is!"
"Lil, I've seen you fly, your very good at it, you'll do fine!" James said supportively.
"You think so?"
"I sure do!"
"I can hardly wait for try outs!" Lily said feeling encouraged.
They all got new robes, and then finally they stopped by the pet shop where Lily finally bought herself an owl, which she named, Petunia, because it had a very long neck.
"I feel sorry for the poor owl." Sirius said shaking his head.
"Why?!" Lily demanded.
"Because, HE has been insulted, by being called a girls name!" Lily realized her mistake.
"So, what do YOU think I should call him?"
"Err, let me think…"
"Oh, I know you can name him, Socrates! It sounds really…cool!" Sierra offered.
"Yeah, I like that, Hello Socrates, sorry about that whole, Petunia thing." Lily apologized to the fluffy snow owl.
"Apologizing to owl?" Sirius said giving her a look.
"Yes, owls have feelings too you know." Lily said casually.
"Hey, I just thought of something, did you ladies hear about, um, William Pike." Sirius said quietly. The mood among the friends changed. They all went deep into thought for a moment.
"Uh, yeah we heard." Lily said breaking the silence.
*~*~*~*~*
The rest of the day went quickly, soon they were back at Jimena's house and they had packed all their supplies for the year, in their trunks, they were going back to Hogwarts in only four days.
They spent the rest pf the week getting Lily, in top shape for quidditch, she had become obsessed with it. She played all the time, constant practice, she had some actually strategies to use. Sierra and Jimena were positive she would make it. She sure hoped so.
Before they knew it, it was September first, and the girls found themselves hurrying through the barrier, at 9 and ¾. Lily went through first and smacked right into James on the other side.
"James!" Lily exclaimed, giving him an awkward hug.
"Lils! It good to see you, after four long days." He said with a grin. The 7 friends, (A/N don't forget Peter!) met up and got themselves a compartment. They found themselves talking about Quidditch Tryouts, and how excited they were to go back to school.
"I personally missed school." Lily said, "Only because I didn't get to see you guys though!" They talked for a while longer, then Sirius, James, Remus, and Peter, got up and left, with out saying a word.
"Um, what do you think they're doing?" Sierra wondered.
"I don't know, but whatever it is, I don't think we'll like it." Jimena muttered.
"I hope th-." Lily was interrupted by screaming coming from the compartment next to theirs. "Well, I wonder who could have caused that!" Lily had a pretty good idea who it was, but she didn't say anything.
The next minute the four boys returned, laughing their heads off. Sirius and James collapsed to the floor, when they had finally recovered; they stood up and took their seats again.
"A good job well done, Marauders!" Sirius said, shaking and they all shook each others' hands.
"Err, Marauders?" Lily asked.
"That's we decided to call our mischief making selves." Sirius offered.
"Oh, yeah, I forgot about that…"Jimena mumbled, she was really starting to worry about them.
"So, anyway, what did you guys do over there?" Lily asked getting curious. They started explaining what they did.
"Okay, we got like 20 dung bombs right?" Sirius said excitedly.
"And then we through them at Snape and all those other gits." James finished.
"That's all?!" The three girls shouted at once.
"Yeah, why?" Remus questioned.
"I just thought you boys could have done better" Jimena said, and instantly regretted it, when the Marauders gave her a death glare. "I was just telling the truth."
"I too think you could have done better." Sierra put in.
"Me too." Lily agreed. The Marauders were not happy; they had a look of revenge on their faces. "Um, but don't take it personally okay?"
"Whatever." Peter grumbled.
The rest of the train ride went by very slowly, since they weren't talking much. The train ride was mostly like this.
"So, see the new first years?"
"Yeah."
"Oh, err, just wondering." Silence.
*~*~*~*~*
The sorting was just as enjoyable as when they had been first years, and once the feast started, the seven of them started warming up to each other again, as they talked to some first years, Sierra's brother included. (A/N remember from the letter…) Steven (A/N I can't remember if it was Steve or Steven, but its all the same…)
"So, Steve, do you like it here in Gryffindor?" Lily asked trying to be friendly.
"Yes, I think I will enjoy my stay here very much." (A/N think Percy Weasley character here. Hee hee)
"So, which classes are you looking the most forward to?"
"Transfiguration for sure, and Defense Against the Darks Arts, and definitely Charms." He answered.
"Charms is my favorite! You'll love professor Flitwick, he's so adorable!" Lily informed him eagerly.
"Is potions as bad as Sierra said it would be?"
"Oh yes, it awful! The Professor absolutely hates us! (A/N I know last year didn't have too many classes, but I don't enjoy writing about first year much.)
"Professor Camedia? I heard he was a death eater!" Sierra said jumping into the conversation.
"Really? I don't- well never mind I do believe it." Lily said. "He is so awful!"
"Why don't they send him to Azkaban then?" Steven asked.
"Because they can't prove it. Even if they did, he could always be under the Imperius curse." (A/N hope I spelled that right.) Sierra answered angrily.
"That's awful, how many people can get away with THAT excuse?" Lily wondered aloud. "Imagine how many people could be death eaters, here in this very room!"
They all turned their heads toward the Slytherin table. "A lot." Sierra muttered.
*~*~*~*~*
Lily, Jimena, and Sierra went up to their dorms, with the Marauders coming up behind them, whispering about something.
"Do you guys think that they're still mad at us for what we said?" Sierra wondered.
"Probably, you don't think they're going to do something to us, do you?" Lily also wondered.
"We should probably keep away from them tomorrow, or we might regret it." Jimena told them.
"Right, I'm with you on that one!" Lily agreed.
The girls went to bed, and were asleep very quickly.
*~*~*~*~*
"Do you have everything ready?" James whispered to the other Marauders.
"Yeah, right here. Do you have the invisibility cloak?" Sirius whispered back.
"Uh huh, everybody get under it. Hold on-Engorgio!" The cloak was big enough for them all to fit under.
The four of them headed to the girls dorms as quietly as they could, no one insulted their pranks, especially when they had a reputation to get.
"This is Sierra's right?" Sirius said looking at the door.
"I think so, now Sirius you take care of the flobberworms on the floor." Sirius nodded at James. "Remus, you take care of the timed dung bombs." Remus nodded too. "Peter, you get the feathers, and I'll goo the girls!"
"You always get the fun stuff!!" Sirius pouted.
"It WAS my idea." James said smugly.
"Yeah, yeah, don't rub it in." Remus said shoving the rest of them in through the door.
"Remus, leave me alo-." Peter started.
"Shh!" the rest of them said to Peter.
"Sorry." He whispered.
James walked over and started pouring honey all over Sierra, then Jimena from the jars. (A/N hee hee, total scene from parent trap!) Then Catty, and Vanessa, but he went easy on them since they didn't do anything, meaning he didn't put it in their hair.
Then he walked over to Lily, he got right above her and looked down at her, she was so peaceful looking. Then she whimpered in her sleep and James jumped back. Then she went quiet again. He finally finished pouring everything on her, and added something a little extra.
When they left the girls' dorms they were very proud. Everything was set so when they woke up covered in honey, James had even set up more jars to pour on them when they moved, then the feathers would fall on them, and then they would get up and find the floor covered with flobberworms, compliments of Hagrid's garden.
They were so excited when they went to bed they could hardly get to sleep, but finally they did.
*~*~*~*~*
Lily woke up and had a feeling she had just been having a good dream she couldn't remember. She kept her eyes closed for a moment, and then she felt something.
Something sticky…
"EWWW!!!" Lily screamed at the top of her lungs, so loud that she a woke the boys' in their dorm. They smiled to themselves, and tried to go back to sleep, they were too tired to wake up.
Lily started to move, she sat up and looked at her blanket, on it, it had a name signed in honey: James.
"JAMES POTTER!! YOU ARE DEAD!!" Lily screamed even louder, if that was possible. She started to get up and then more jars of honey fell on her. Then the feathers. Her room mates who were already awake were screaming and moaning when the same thing happened to them. Lily's temper fired up and she swung her legs onto the floor, and then she felt the flobberworms. "Guys, whatever you do don't-."
"Eww…" It was Sierra who looking like a chicken, had also stepped out of bed.
"What the-?" Jimena too had stepped out of bed, and felt the gooeyness.
"I'm squishing flobberworms, where did they come from?" Lily said recognizing the worms. "I feel bad killing them, but I have to go kill someone else too!" Lily said hotly, and with out even cleaning up, ran to the boy's dorms, leaving her chickens, I mean friends alone in the coop-I mean dorm.
Lily found James' dorm and barged in, still covered with feathers. She pounced I James's bed and woke him up once more that morning. She didn't stop jumping, not until she'd gotten all the anger off, and the bed was completely covered with feathers and foot prints of honey.
"Okay, bye James." And then as an after thought. "Beware." Lily then skipped off to get cleaned up, already thinking up a revenge.
*~*~*~*~*
James laughed and got out of bed, rubbing his legs where Lily had landed on him.
"HOW did she know it was us?" Peter wondered.
"Oops, forgot to tell you guys, err, I signed my name in honey on Lily's bed." James said as casually as he could.
"Why? Now, you know she's going to get us back!" Remus said worriedly,
"What's she gonna do Remus? Prank us with homework? Lily is too worried about getting in trouble, and keeping her grades up to worry about revenge on us." Sirius said reassuringly, but Remus didn't buy it.
"Well, maybe just in case we should try to make amends…" Remus started to say.
"Absolutely not, they got what they deserved." James said indignantly.
"You never know, what they are capable of, you forgot Jimena, Sierra, Catty, and Vanessa were also, um, pranked." Remus reminded him.
"Yeah, well then as a precaution we'll keep an eye out, but otherwise, no apologizing." Sirius said looking at Remus and Peter.
"So let's send your stuff to get cleaned up then Jamsie boy, the house elves are going to have a lot of cleaning to do today." Remus told him.
*~*~*~*~*
"I CAN'T believe they did that!" Lily was still ranting as they walked around their room on towels, not knowing any cleaning spells yet. "Eww, I just killed another flobberworm!"
"Lily, can I ask you, where did you go after you woke up?" Sierra asked as nicely as possible, all five girls were in a bad mood, since they woke up covered in honey, who wouldn't?
"I went and jumped on Potter's bed." Lily said grinning evilly.
"Oh, since when were you on a last name bases?" Jimena asked. (A/N remember Jimena is the one who likes James right now, not Lily)
"Since I woke up and turned into a chicken!" Lily screeched. "And I have every intention of calling him Potter, until the day that I die!"
"Not mad at Remus are you Lils?" Catty said finally, with a knowing smile.
"Erm, no he was probably just helping because he felt like he would look bad if he didn't." Lily said, lying to them as well as herself. Truly she thought he probably came up with the idea of the flobberworms, Remus was an expert at that kind of thing.
"Whatever you say Lils." Catty said shaking her head. Vanessa and Catty then left to clean up.
"So, do you have any ideas on getting them back?" Jimena asked after a while of scooping flobberworms into buckets.
"Yeah, I'll tell you guys later, I have to work out the kinks and stuff first." Lily said with a big grin on her face.
"Good, I know you'll come up with something perfect!" Sierra said jumping up and down, and falling onto the flobberworms. "Yuck!"
*~*~*~*~*
They went to breakfast a bit late, and instead of sitting by the Marauders, they took a seat as far away from them as they could get. There Lily started to tell them the beginnings of her plan for revenge, and they helped her figure out details.
All through breakfast they glared at the Marauders and occasionally smiled when they came up something good for the prank.
"Oh, damn, we have Potions with Slytherins, right after breakfast!" Jimena moaned, finally looking at her schedule.
"Really?" Lily glanced at her schedule. "Oh no, its true!"
"We are not having a good day!" Sierra stated in a 'the sky IS blue 'sort of way. (A/N I got that saying from another fan fic by the way!)
*~*~*~*~*
Potions with Professor Camedia were awful. He kept giving Lily glares, and partnered her with Snape of all people to work with on the first potion.
"Severus!" Lily hissed his name with bitterness. "You're doing the potion wrong! First you put in the frog spawn, THEN the snail scum! I thought YOU of all people would know that scum is always last."
Snape glared at her, they hadn't become any better friends this year then last year, if anything, they only hated each other more. Snape didn't heed her warning and put the snail scum in first, and then there was a definite explosion.
Lily covered her head, but she still got potion on her arms, and it stung terribly. Boils erupted on her arms, and Snape had them on his face.
Camedia was so mad he could barely talk. "Hospital- Wing…Now! Potter…go with- them…and make….sure they…don't kill…each other…off!!"
James jumped up and followed them. Lily moaned the whole way up. Her two least favorite people were on her either side. Well actually, Lily thought, she still liked James, but he was getting on her nerves with that whole Chicken Incident, as she called it now.
"So…" James started. "What happened in there Lils?"
"Snape didn't listen to me, and he put the snail scum in before the frog spawn. Then it exploded, even though it was a fairly weak potion, salt was in it, and they don't mix well…." Lily explained, still glaring at Snape.
They got to the Hospital Wing, and were quickly fixed, so the three of them went back down to the dungeons, not talking the whole way.
Lily was still trying to shake the feeling off, the feeling that boils were still all over her arms. She shivered and took her seat, this time next to Remus.
*~*~*~*~*
The first week went by quickly, and then the notice was put up: "Quidditch Tryout this Saturday on the Quidditch Pitch at 2:00." Lily read aloud to her friends. Sierra and Jimena were as excited as Lily, if not more.
"I can't wait until tomorrow!" Sierra screeched jumping up and down."
"Lily I hope, hope, HOPE, you make the team!!" Jimena said and soon all three of them were jumping around the common room. Just then James came in grinning; apparently he was as excited about the tryouts as they were.
"James here I going to be on the team, by this time next week!" Sirius announced.
"How can you be so sure?" Sierra said, glaring. They had been arguing about the Chicken Incident. The boys decided it was best not to say anything to the girls, and went up to their dorms.
"Do you think they are planning on getting revenge, TOMORROW?" James said getting really nervous. "I don't think they would, but I can't help but wonder…They should have pulled something by now! Anything, but yet they haven't retaliated yet, not even a 'kick me' sign on our backs!"
"Calm down James, everything is going to be okay, you'll get on the team just fine, they wouldn't try anything tomorrow, Lily's trying out to, and will probably be to preoccupied."
"I hope your right Sirius"
With that the boys talked about quidditch until dinner…
(A/N I think that was the longest chapter yet! I'm tired because its real late…so good night! Thank you reviewers! And PLEASE REVIEW!!!"
*~*~*~*~*
CHAPTER 6
Lily, Jimena and Sierra arrived at Diagon Alley at 10am which is when they decided to meet with the guys. They had been waiting for a while at the ice cream shop when they heard something, a whizzing sound. They looked for where it was coming from and noticed that it was Sirius and James, setting off 5 dung bombs below their table. The girls got up as quickly as they could, and made a run for it.
Then they heard the explosion. Boom! Sirius and James came up to them grinning, but looking disappointed that they'd missed the girls.
"Next time you want to get us with bombs, try the quiet kind." Sierra said, giving Sirius a hug. (A/N they are still going out!)
"Hey is Remus around?" Lily asked looking around.
"No, why?" James asked back, raising an eyebrow.
"No reason." She said quickly.
"Hey why did you guys, um, how do I put this. Pull a prank on us?!" Jimena asked loudly.
"Err, we felt like it?" James answered unsure.

"Lil, I've seen you fly, your very good at it, you'll do fine!" James said supportively.
"You think so?"
"I sure do!"
"I can hardly wait for try outs!" Lily said feeling encouraged.
They all got new robes, and then finally they stopped by the pet shop where Lily finally bought herself an owl, which she named, Petunia, because it had a very long neck.
"I feel sorry for the poor owl." Sirius said shaking his head.
"Why?!" Lily demanded.
"Because, HE has been insulted, by being called a girls name!" Lily realized her mistake.
"So, what do YOU think I should call him?"
"Err, let me think…"
"Oh, I know you can name him, Socrates! It sounds really…cool!" Sierra offered.
"Yeah, I like that, Hello Socrates, sorry about that whole, Petunia thing." Lily apologized to the fluffy snow owl.
"Apologizing to owl?" Sirius said giving her a look.
"Yes, owls have feelings too you know." Lily said casually.
"Hey, I just thought of something, did you ladies hear about, um, William Pike." Sirius said quietly. The mood among the friends changed. They all went deep into thought for a moment.
"Uh, yeah we heard." Lily said breaking the silence.
*~*~*~*~*
The rest of the day went quickly, soon they were back at Jimena's house and they had packed all their supplies for the year, in their trunks, they were going back to Hogwarts in only four days.
They spent the rest pf the week getting Lily, in top shape for quidditch, she had become obsessed with it. She played all the time, constant practice, she had some actually strategies to use. Sierra and Jimena were positive she would make it. She sure hoped so.

"I'm squishing flobberworms, where did they come from?" Lily said recognizing the worms. "I feel bad killing them, but I have to go kill someone else too!" Lily said hotly, and with out even cleaning up, ran to the boy's dorms, leaving her chickens, I mean friends alone in the coop-I mean dorm.
Lily found James' dorm and barged in, still covered with feathers. She pounced I James's bed and woke him up once more that morning. She didn't stop jumping, not until she'd gotten all the anger off, and the bed was completely covered with feathers and foot prints of honey.
"Okay, bye James." And then as an after thought. "Beware." Lily then skipped off to get cleaned up, already thinking up a revenge.
*~*~*~*~*
James laughed and got out of bed, rubbing his legs where Lily had landed on him.
"HOW did she know it was us?" Peter wondered.
"Oops, forgot to tell you guys, err, I signed my name in honey on Lily's bed." James said as casually as he could.
"Why? Now, you know she's going to get us back!" Remus said worriedly,
"What's she gonna do Remus? Prank us with homework? Lily is too worried about getting in trouble, and keeping her grades up to worry about revenge on us." Sirius said reassuringly, but Remus didn't buy it.
"Well, maybe just in case we should try to make amends…" Remus started to say.
"Absolutely not, they got what they deserved." James said indignantly.
"You never know, what they are capable of, you forgot Jimena, Sierra, Catty, and Vanessa were also, um, pranked." Remus reminded him.
"Yeah, well then as a precaution we'll keep an eye out, but otherwise, no apologizing." Sirius said looking at Remus and Peter.
"So let's send your stuff to get cleaned up then Jamsie boy, the house elves are going to have a lot of cleaning to do today." Remus told him.
*~*~*~*~*
"I CAN'T believe they did that!" Lily was still ranting as they walked around their room on towels, not knowing any cleaning spells yet. "Eww, I just killed another flobberworm!"
"Lily, can I ask you, where did you go after you woke up?" Sierra asked as nicely as possible, all five girls were in a bad mood, since they woke up covered in honey, who wouldn't?
"I went and jumped on Potter's bed." Lily said grinning evilly.
"Oh, since when were you on a last name bases?" Jimena asked. (A/N remember Jimena is the one who likes James right now, not Lily)
"Since I woke up and turned into a chicken!" Lily screeched. "And I have every intention of calling him Potter, until the day that I die!"
"Not mad at Remus are you Lils?" Catty said finally, with a knowing smile.
"Erm, no he was probably just helping because he felt like he would look bad if he didn't." Lily said, lying to them as well as herself. Truly she thought he probably came up with the idea of the flobberworms, Remus was an expert at that kind of thing.
"Whatever you say Lils." Catty said shaking her head. Vanessa and Catty then left to clean up.
"So, do you have any ideas on getting them back?" Jimena asked after a while of scooping flobberworms into buckets.
"Yeah, I'll tell you guys later, I have to work out the kinks and stuff first." Lily said with a big grin on her face.
"Good, I know you'll come up with something perfect!" Sierra said jumping up and down, and falling onto the flobberworms. "Yuck!"
*~*~*~*~*
They went to breakfast a bit late, and instead of sitting by the Marauders, they took a seat as far away from them as they could get. There Lily started to tell them the beginnings of her plan for revenge, and they helped her figure out details.
All through breakfast they glared at the Marauders and occasionally smiled when they came up something good for the prank.
"Oh, damn, we have Potions with Slytherins, right after breakfast!" Jimena moaned, finally looking at her schedule.
"Really?" Lily glanced at her schedule. "Oh no, its true!"
"We are not having a good day!" Sierra stated in a 'the sky IS blue 'sort of way. (A/N I got that saying from another fan fic by the way!)
*~*~*~*~*
Potions with Professor Camedia were awful. He kept giving Lily glares, and partnered her with Snape of all people to work with on the first potion.
"Severus!" Lily hissed his name with bitterness. "You're doing the potion wrong! First you put in the frog spawn, THEN the snail scum! I thought YOU of all people would know that scum is always last."
Snape glared at her, they hadn't become any better friends this year then last year, if anything, they only hated each other more. Snape didn't heed her warning and put the snail scum in first, and then there was a definite explosion.
Lily covered her head, but she still got potion on her arms, and it stung terribly. Boils erupted on her arms, and Snape had them on his face.
Camedia was so mad he could barely talk. "Hospital- Wing…Now! Potter…go with- them…and make….sure they…don't kill…each other…off!!"
James jumped up and followed them. Lily moaned the whole way up. Her two least favorite people were on her either side. Well actually, Lily thought, she still liked James, but he was getting on her nerves with that whole Chicken Incident, as she called it now.
"So…" James started. "What happened in there Lils?"
"Snape didn't listen to me, and he put the snail scum in before the frog spawn. Then it exploded, even though it was a fairly weak potion, salt was in it, and they don't mix well…." Lily explained, still glaring at Snape.
They got to the Hospital Wing, and were quickly fixed, so the three of them went back down to the dungeons, not talking the whole way.
Lily was still trying to shake the feeling off, the feeling that boils were still all over her arms. She shivered and took her seat, this time next to Remus.
*~*~*~*~*
The first week went by quickly, and then the notice was put up: "Quidditch Tryout this Saturday on the Quidditch Pitch at 2:00." Lily read aloud to her friends. Sierra and Jimena were as excited as Lily, if not more.
"I can't wait until tomorrow!" Sierra screeched jumping up and down."
"Lily I hope, hope, HOPE, you make the team!!" Jimena said and soon all three of them were jumping around the common room. Just then James came in grinning; apparently he was as excited about the tryouts as they were.
"James here I going to be on the team, by this time next week!" Sirius announced.
"How can you be so sure?" Sierra said, glaring. They had been arguing about the Chicken Incident. The boys decided it was best not to say anything to the girls, and went up to their dorms.
"Do you think they are planning on getting revenge, TOMORROW?" James said getting really nervous. "I don't think they would, but I can't help but wonder…They should have pulled something by now! Anything, but yet they haven't retaliated yet, not even a 'kick me' sign on our backs!"
"Calm down James, everything is going to be okay, you'll get on the team just fine, they wouldn't try anything tomorrow, Lily's trying out to, and will probably be to preoccupied."
"I hope your right Sirius"
With that the boys talked about quidditch until dinner…
(A/N I think that was the longest chapter yet! I'm tired because its real late…so good night! Thank you reviewers! And PLEASE REVIEW!!!"
