A/N-Okay guys, I don't think I've made it clear what year James & co. are in. They are in their FIFTH year. I think I wrote it a few times in this chapter. This chapter also has like, A LOT of events. So I'd really appreciate it if you guys would review.

Dedicated- this chapter is dedicated (again) to Georgia. If she didn't push and nag, it would probably be out next year. Lol.

Disclaimer- same as the previous chapter.

*~*~~*~*~~*~*Numerous Events*~*~~*~*~~*~*

Since Remus, shared a dormitory with James, Sirius and Peter, there was no way that the other three were able to avoid him. The next morning, the same thing happened, as the day before. Severus, without an exchange of words, nodded at Remus, and Remus followed. Sirius, James and Peter were in disbelief. *And he said that it wasn't easy going to sit by his table. Phooey!* (A/N- lol….. phooey! Hee hee.).

As Remus followed, he looked over his shoulder only to peer at his fellow pupils. They gazed back. Severus then turned Remus's attention back to him.

'So Lupin, I've got a question.'

'That's nice. I also happen to stumble upon a few myself. Don't we all wonder and ponder thoughts, that lead us into curi-'

'Lupin, I own you. Don't be imprudent with me.'

Lupin grunted.

'Anyway, I happen to know that you are part of a group called the Maurders. Now, I also happen to know that Lucius and I are your central victims.'

'That's cause you're always the easiest targets. ' Remus replied, not caring what color Severus's face was turning.

'Ahem! Now, since you are a member, I would like to know what you are planning next.'

Remus beamed. The night before, the other three didn't tell Remus what they were doing.

With all the dignity and pride that he had left he said, 'Severus ol' chap, I have no idea.'

Severus did not look pleased with this answer, nor did he feel.

'Listen Lupin, remember who you're talking to.'

Before Remus could shoot back a clever reply, Georgia-Yvette came from behind and gave Severus a kiss smack on the lips.

'Hello Gorgeous.' Severus sang.

'Hello yourself. Oh? Is Lupin back? Didn't he have enough yesterday?'

Remus just grumbled something.

'Nope darling, he's back for more!' Severus said leaning in to snog.

'Is that so?' JJ said, and motioned for the three to come sit near him.

'Yes JJ, I am back. Since I had a barrel of monkeys yesterday, I thought, you know what, what could make my life even more fun? Hanging with my friends JJ and Severus!' Remus said scornfully.

JJ just looked away.

Remus's mind was made up; he wasn't going to go down without a fight!

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

Lily watched as Remus talked, snickering at Severus and his friends. She was unable to distinguish what he was saying though.

She sighed.

'Listen girl,' Elizabeth started, 'Remus has changed. Get over it!'

'But, I don't think he *really* wants to be with them...' Jenny said feeling the same way Lily did.

'Hmm.. ' Elizabeth contemplated something. 'I may have an idea.'

'For what?' came Sirius's reply.

'Nothing..' Lily dismissed the topic with a wave of her hand.

'Well, Lily, I was thinking-'

Lily gasped. 'You were?' Jenny giggled.

'Ha ha *ha*! Lily, come hear for a second.' Lily shrugged, and followed Sirius.

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

Elizabeth and Jenny saw this and looked at each other in confusion.

'That takes out Lily. Listen, I have a plan. I may know how to find out what's up with Remus.'

'Really..' Jenny was interested.

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

'Can't you come down here for a second? You're always on that broom of yours.' Peter said, annoyed.

'I am one of Gryffendor's best chaser in Quidditch, I do have to practice.'

'But don't you guys have your own practices?'

'What do you want Pete?' James said flying higher.

'I was wondering-'

'WHAT?' James shouted.

'I said, I was wondering-' Peter said rolling his eyes.

'WHAT?' James bellowed again.

'James..' Peter whispered

He quickly got a broom, and started to ride on it. After a good 15 minutes, he caught up with James.

'….. James…. I was…. wondering-'

'Speed up boy,' James said whizzing through the air.

'Not again..' Peter said frustrated.

Once again he caught up, and held the tip of James's broom.

'Okay, okay, you win. What were you wondering?' James said chuckling.

'Thank you. Now, I was wondering-'

'You said that part already.' James said. His eyes were twinkling with laughter.

'What is our next prank going to be?'

'Me and Sirius-'

'Sirius and I' Peter corrected

'Fine, *Sirius and I*, were discussing it over, and we've decided on this. We're going to take some dragon breath and mix it with the ashes of a troll, and you know what that does when you mix it with water.. right?' James said, now alighting himself onto the ground.

'Oh yeah! But how will having a big explosion help anything?'

'That's the best part, we flush it down the toilet, and while it's going through the pipes, it'll explode in the corridors. And all the stuff that people.. er.. relieve themselves, will explode out too!'

Peter almost fell off his broom with laughter.

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

'Lily, I know this may be kind of weird, and I know that this whole thing started as a joke, but.. do you want to..um..' Sirius's face started to flush 'er.. like, go out?' Sirius finally got the words out.

This took Lily by surprise. 'You mean.. like you'll be my girlfriend, and I be your boy friend?'

'Um.. no.. Other way around..' Sirius said, with a smile tugging his lips.

She laughed lightly.

'I mean, we are friends, and it's not like I'll never see you. And, I did kind of have a good time at the ball..' Sirius said fiddling his thumbs.

Lily thought this over thoroughly. She also did have a good time at the ball.

'In my fifth year, and my first boyfriend..' She said talking more-or-less to herself.

Sirius smiled like a maniac (A/N- try picturing it!! Hee hee!).

He kissed her lightly on the cheek, and skipped off (A/N- now try imagine that! lol) to the others.

She stood there, touched her cheek lightly, and sighed.

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

'…. So we follow him? That's the whole brilliant plan?' Jenny whispered aggravated.

'Well, there's more to it. You know, you have to be sneaky, you have to make sure you look casual, gotta-'

'I've gotten the picture' Jenny said, winking. She quickly wrote down the notes the professor was saying.

Elizabeth smiled broadly. 'Let's do it. We're lucky. We have Transfiguration next with Slytherin. Remus we'll probably be with Severus, and his disgusting girlfriend Georgia-Yvette.'

'Yeah!' Jenny cheered on.

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

'Lupin, um.. I lost the quill you lent me. Can I have another one?'

'Figured you would. One problem, I've only got two left. The one I'm using and..' Remus took out another quill with pink poke-a-dots (A/N- how do you spell that?) and hearts.

'Got it for Valentines day' Remus explained to a bewildered JJ. Remus ducked his head to hide his sneer.

Without a reply, JJ got back to his work.

Severus glared at Remus, Remus winked at Severus and continued to listen to the professor.

Shortly after, Remus received a note. He opened it up. In pink pen, this was written:

Lupin,

Lissen, I kinda fergot to do the chransfigurashin work. Since we do have her next piriud, Prof. McGon. Is gonna give me detenchin again. Man, I hate her. Last week, I told her that her robe was like, out of stile and she was so angry, that I didn't even bother telling her about her shoos. Anyway, you can pass up your papur. Thanx!

-Georgia-Yvette 3

Remus read the not over twice. *Maybe she should start taking a spelling course. And, does that girl do any work at all? I'm surprised she's made it to her fifth year. Hmm.. I could have some fun with this!*

Remus quickly wrote a terrible transfiguration paper and passed it up to her. She'd never know the difference anyway.

He saw her replicate his paper.

He smirked.

When she finished she passed it back to him and winked. He returned her wink with a nod. He tried holding back his laughter.

When the period ended Remus gathered his things. While he was packing his things, he heard a soft—yet harsh—whisper.

'Be careful Lupin, you're in hot water.'

When Remus jerked his head he so no one.

He shuddered.

Severus was on to him.

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

'Students settle down.' Professor Liam said over the shuffling of the students. 'Professor McGonnagall isn't present today, so I will be taking her place.'

A loud groan was heard among the fifth year students.

'Come on class, it'll be okay. Now, it says here, you are……' Was all that Jenny and Elizabeth heard.

They kept a close eye on Remus.

'Psst. Lizzy, I think I can make out something that Snape is saying. Is it 'be careful Lupin. I don't want a hard time'? Maybe it's something like that.'

'Yeah. But a hard time with what? What is Remus doing?' Always the same. Elizabeth always had to know everything.

Their attention was drawn away when Professor Liam said:

'Students. You. In the blonde hair. In front….' Elizabeth understood she was talking about her.

'And your friend too.' She was talking about Jenny.

'Sorry Professor Liam.' they echoed.

Remus caught their eyes. His eyes twinkled a smile. They just gave him the cold shoulder.

Man how he missed them.

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

When lunch came, Sirius sat next to Lily. Lily grinned at him.

'Umm.. James, Can I speak to you?' Sirius said.

'Hey, the last time you said that to me, you asked me to be your girlfriend. You better not be doing the same now.' Lily said smiling.

James froze at this.

'What?'

'Jamsie-boy, lets go.' Sirius shoved him.

'I know I told you that there was nothing between Lily and I, but….. I really like her…. and I asked if she wanted to be my girlfriend.'

'WHAT? We had a pact. Remember? Six years ago? 'On my mother's bad back, and my fathers dead grave. There should be no one, that would make us behave. Too good to be true, too romantic and hurl. From this day on, may we never like a girl.'' James repeated the pact he and Sirius made when they were ten years old, indignantly.

'Listen I know, but like, we *will* get married one day…..'

'You're planning on marrying her too?' James asked taken aback.

'NO! But like…. Just think of it this way, it won't be that different. You know her just as well as I do.' Sirius said, trying to be reasonable.

'Yeah, whatever.' Replied James. 'I'm going to go take a walk.'

Sirius went back to the table and sat down.

'What did you do to him, man?' Peter asked furiously.

'I tried talking to him.'

'Are you that back of a talker?'

'Why don't you try talking to him, Pete? He won't listen to me.'

'Fine.' Peter said simply. He got up and left the table.

Sirius sat down next to Lily.

'So babe, what's up?' There really was no one to talk to now. James left, Peter went after him, Jenny and Elizabeth haven't shown up to lunch and Remus was…. well…. Having a better time by a Slytherin.

'Ehh. I studied so hard for Mr. Kaplan's test today. But when he asked me what the charm was for making ink disappear, I just went blank. Loffingham. Loffingham. How could I forget?'

'Man Lily, you worry way too much about school! You have got to calm down.'

'And what, turn out like you? Don't you have detention today?'

Sirius smiled widely. 'Yes! You wanna join me?'

'What?' Lily asked while taking out a Charms book.

'James is kind of mad at me for not telling him about us, Peter has a date tonight. Jenny and Lizzy have been gone all day, Remus is well….. Remus, and that leaves you!'

'Hmm….' Lily considered it, 'I guess…. What do I have to do?'

'Well, We're pulling a prank in Herbology today, so you can take the blame!' Sirius said delightfully.

'Okay….' Lily said hardly paying attention to him. She was too engrossed with her book.

'Loffingham!' Sirius cried.

All of the words in her book vanished.

'Hey!' Lily pouted.

'Mwa ha ha!' Sirius mocked.

Lily hit him on the head playfully.

He just grinned at her. She smiled back.

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

'Yo! James…. wait….. up!' Peter said panting, trying to catch up.

James swung his head around.

'Oh. You.' James looked disappointed.

'Sorry!' Peter looked offended.

James just laughed lightly. 'So, what's up?'

'You tell me!' Peter grunted.

They both stopped before they reached the forest.

'What's that supposed to mean?' James retorted.

'Listen, you're still going to be friends with Sirius one way or another. There really is no point in arguing .'

James shrugged. 'Whatever.' (A/N- I HATE it when people say that!!)

'Ja…. Ja… James…. Is….'Peter stuttered, stunned.

'Speak boy.' James said without lifting his head.

'James, uh.. is that….' Peter indicated at something using his finger with the same expression.

James looked up.

'Dear G-d!' James said barely above a whisper.

'Is that….. Dumbledore?' Peter asked looking at James this time.

Without a reply, James ran up to the man lying on the ground. Eyes closed, no pulse.

'Peter…. Get help. NOW!' James almost yelled.

Peter started to walk back, without his eyes leaving James, and the man.

'Professor Dumbledore… Professor Dumbledore… wake up…' James merely whispered.

He started to swear. He started to shake Professor Dumbledore.

He was getting violent.

'Peter…. Come back here already! PETER!' James knew it was useless.

He got up and left Professor Dumbledore on the ground.

'Hold on. I'll be right back.' Placing him next to a tree,

James ran as fast as his legs could carry him. Once every so often he would look back at Dumbledore resting by the trunk of a tree, and would continue running.
