"Prongs, are you alright?" Remus asked James, they've been watching him all night, from the game up to his last dance.
"Judging by your looks, you're not." Peter broke in. Still, no response from James, Sirius spoke up.
"Maybe we should go to the Marauder's Lair, we're going to share you the best night of our lives." Sirius said grinning at Remus.
"Guys, I'll just stay here. I'll wait for Girlie." Peter said, talking about his date. Sirius nodded and looked at James.
"Let's go." James said simply.
They leave the noisy great hall, full of dancing students, drunken professors and wild band. They went to their secret hideout, away from faculty rooms and dorms. When they entered the room, Sirius was shocked.
"Where's my bed?" Sirius exclaimed. "Remus' and Peter's bed was gone too!"
"I tutored Peter at his Transfiguration assignment. He accidentally pointed his wand at your beds, instead of the chairs, into stone. I told him to transfigure it to something useful." James said shaking his head.
"Poor Peter." Remus sighed.
"He transfigured the chairs into something useful. See, the stone should be use to crack his head! It'll shake his memory and he'll do things perfectly from then on." Sirius said and laughs.
"So how's your night?" James asked while transfiguring the stones at the floor into 3 beds.
"Well the Salem's were not boring at all. They're talkative, fun and amazing." Remus said flopping at one of the chairs.
"Looks like cupid strikes again huh?" Sirius grinned. "Charlotte's great too, but I've never met her other friends. She's quite different from Hogwarts' girls."
"Yeah, you're right." James said.
"What happened with Lily, you won right? Why did she walk out of the hall?" Sirius asked.
"I don't know, I really don't. When you asked her friends to dance, that left me and her. Then I asked her too but she refused, a lot of excuses. But when the Quidditch captain asked her too, she didn't mind at all. She told me she can't dance but honestly, she could and that was way too great." James explained.
"Really? Maybe she's not comfortable with you. Don't worry, maybe you'll tame the snappy lady during your date together." Sirius said.
"She's better than Lianne, I'd like to be close with her." James said.
"Why? You're gonna ask Lily to be your girlfriend?" Sirius asked in disbelief.
"Er, not really." James said doubtfully, he's been thinking the same thing.
Just then they heard somebody else on the room. It's coming from James bed, they decided to approach it and they were shocked to know who's there.

"I don't believe you! Prince Charming won't live Cinderella because they loved each other." Catherine pointed out.
"You know why her Prince left her? Because he's sick and tired of her wearing the glass slippers! When she takes a bath, go hunt with him and even when it's time to sleep." Lorenz smirked.
"Did Snow White's prince left her too?" Catherine asked.
"Of course! The Prince was afraid that if they have now a child, it would have a face like the dwarfs." Anthony said.
"Sleeping beauty kept on sleeping, ignoring her prince that's why his prince charming decided to divorce her!" Lorenz added. Catherine now was in tears.
"Your prince charming won't come, Catherine. You can't be a princess!" Anthony teased.
"Eyeglasses, carrot hair top, skinny weak girl… yuck! Your prince charming will die as soon as she sees you." Lorenz and Anthony broke into laughs.
Catherine cried, teasing her made her cried hard. "No, that's not true!" Still, the two boys keep on laughing which made her feel so scared. "NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

James, Sirius and Remus went to James bed immediately, and they saw a lady breathing deeply, having some nightmares. And when the lady screamed, James draw closer only to know that she's awake and they banged their heads hard.
"Ouch!" they both said, when they realized that they hurt each other they came closer and said, "Are you al- ouch!" Again, they hurt each others.
Sirius and Remus couldn't help it, they just laughed. When they noticed James looks, they stopped and ask the lady if something's wrong.
"No, nothing's wrong." The lady said quietly.
"Who are you? How did you find this room?" Remus asked, no one in Hogwarts ever knew this room existed.
"I'm Lily, I don't know how I found this room. I was just lost and couldn't find the dorm."
"It's us, Lily. James, Remus and Sirius." James said.
"Is this your room?" She asked, her hand touching the aching part of her head.
"Sort of." Remus said.
"Oh I'm sorry, I'll go ahead." She get up from the bed only that she was held back by the three. "Why?"
"Don't worry, we won't do anything to hurt you." Remus said.
"It's only that this room was too far from Gryffindor and the ball is finished already. If you lost your way, Filch will see you." James said with concern in his tone.
Lily looked around, she saw another 3 beds, which she didn't see earlier. The fireplace was on. "Thank you." She just said and she leaned back at the bed's headboard. The three decided to go back to their seats, to give Lily time to think. Soon, Lily joined them.
"I'm sorry James about earlier. I just don't want balls." Lily said.
"It's okay." He answered simply.
"So Lily, are you alright now? Would you like a cup of chocolate drink?" Remus asked.
"No thanks." Lily said.
"Does every student here at Hogwarts have their own room? Well I mean like this?" Lily asked, trying to open up a conversation.
"No, we found it ourselves. We love loitering around the castle every night." Sirius said proudly.
'Just like me' Lily thought.
"How about Salem Lily? Would you mind sharing something from your school?" Remus asked.
"Honestly, Salem's small, we can fit it inside this castle. But you'll be lost there if you didn't know the way to your rooms. It's more confusing than Hogwarts honestly. But I know every way, for I am a 'marauder' of Salem." She grinned.
"Do you know what Hogwarts call us?" Sirius asked. Lily shook her head.
"We're Marauders." James said simply.
"Oh. I described myself as one, but they don't refer me as the 'marauder'." Lily said.
Lily shared more, what's Salem's like, her experience. How and why she lasted for hours raiding the school. They became close and sometimes, she wished they were her friends.
"You know what? I wished we're friends." Lily stated.
"You're now our friend." Remus said smiling.
"You should get to know my pals, they're kind and funny." Lily told them. "So what happened with Charlotte, Sirius?"
"I liked her, honestly. She's like you, fun to talk with. Ask Remus 'bout George." Sirius said and Lily looked at Remus.
"You three are like triplets, have the same attitude. Can't wait to get to know your friends." He said.
"Well I just wished they would like to. Remember, they don't want to meet and have chats with Hogwarts students. I don't know why." Lily said, then she noticed James staring at her, he seems to be too quiet. "Maybe, you should go now to your beds, I know you're tired."
"You should sleep too, you know." James said.
"Well, I have insomnia. And I had hard time sleeping at nights. I usually sleep at 1 or 2 am."
"I'll keep you company, I'm used to sleep late." Remus said.
"No, don't worry. I'm okay here." She told them, she still can see their doubtful faces, she said. "Look, if you don't go and sleep, I'll curse you. Believe me, you'll regret you chose me as a friend." Lily said nodding.
The trio grinned, making Lily confused with her thoughts. "What?" She asked.
"Don't you know we love pranks?" Sirius asked.
"And we'd like to know what Salem's got." James said.
"Jeez, maybe I'll save it for January, your school's anniversary." Lily said winking. "Now go, c'mon." she shooed them, she sat comfortably in the sofa and leaned her back at the chair. She closed her eyes and breathed deeply.
The trio went to their own beds, they were so tired that they just closed their eyes and were drifted to sleep, except James. He watched Lily closely, he decided to sit down with her and chat for a while.
Lily opened up her eyes, only to see James watching her closely. "Can't sleep?" She asked.
"Not really." He replied.
"Too bad Hogwarts and Salem were very far apart. I kinda like your school now." Lily admitted.
"Really?" James murmured in disbelief.
"Yeah." Lily answered smiling at him. James can't help it but to notice her smile. He smiled back too.
"So what are your plans for the holidays?" James asked.
"I don't know, it changed because of the contest." Lily said, sighing.
"We can postpone it if you want." James said.
"No, it's a shame. And anyways, I'm glad I get to know you. You're so mysterious." Lily said honestly.
"Me? Mysterious?" James repeated.
"For us, since we don't know Hogwarts' traits. We thought your so easy going."
"Some, well do you like Quidditch?" James said changing topics. "Because you won't enjoy the Cup if you don't like it."
"Listen to me." She said. "I became Ms. Searcher because Gino set up a trap for me. He gave up his top box-seat ticket for the Cup if I just joined the game, got it? I instantly fall for his bait and looks like they're having fun of me now." She said chuckling.
"You do love Quidditch then." James said laughing at bit too. "Would you like to stay here at Hogwarts for the holidays?" he asked.
"Well, I'd like to. But no one would be here to go with me. They've got great scheds ahead. And I think mostly Hogwarts students would go for vacation." She said.
"Sirius and I will be staying here. Our parents were aurors, they have been tracking some death eaters around the globe."
"Oh. I'll think about it, thanks for the offer." Lily said smiling, she then yawned, feeling sleepy.
"I guess you take my bed, I'll take Peter's. Go now and sleep, you're friends will be worried if they saw you have those black shopping bags underneath your eyes." James said laughing.
"Yes daddy." Lily said in her childish voice that made them both laugh. When James' preparing to sleep, Lily called. "James," when he looked at her he continued, "Thanks." she said and she sleeps now, glad to have she didn't recall the nightmares that had happened earlier.
