Chapter 3- The Detention
James woke up to his personal alarm clock jumping on his bed. "Sirius!" he groaned as he tried to cover his head with the blankets that had magically disappeared. He groaned again, and muttered, "It should be bloody illegal to be so hyper in the morning." Sirius must have heard this, because he said, "Come on, Prongies! You know that I'd do it anyway. You're just soooooo very funnnnnn to buuuuuuugggggg. Wakey wakey wakey. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood! And I don't know the rest of that sonnnnnnggggggg!!" Sirius finished in a singsong voice. James looked at his best friend with an concerned expression. Surely someone this happy on a Monday morning at.. 6:59 a.m. had to be insane. James kicked Sirius half- heartedly behind the knee's, and his insane friend fell with a muffled "Oomph" on the floor. James looked over the side of the floor to see Sirius laying on the floor, and could it be? Yes, the little hellion was ASLEEP! He woke me up, then he falls back a sleep! Not on this day and time, and DEFINITELY not on MY watch! James slipped silently out of bed, bent over Sirius and, knowing that no amount of screaming would wake him up, James whispered in his ear, "Oh, my God! Would you look at that? Kayla Cameron in a veeerrrrrryyy short and naughty looking nightgown, in our own room."
Sirius woke up in an instant, his head whipping every which way to witness this phenomena, and maybe get a little peak at her body.shhh, don't tell though.
James's laughter could be heard all the way into the common room, he was surprised that no one came up to see what had happened he was so loud. Sirius looked at him and said, "You bloody little bastard. To get a man's hope up," he huffed. " Only for t hat man to see them fall down a veryyyyy steep cliff and go BOOM! That's not a very nice thing to do Jamsie Wamsey Bamesey." James gave him a look that stated and-you-think-that-waking- me- up-before-dawn-is?
"Well," James said as he glanced around the room, and found to his amazement that Remus and Peter were still asleep after all that racket. "I'm going to take a shower now that I'm up. And I hope that you wake Peter up in the same kind. Just leave Remus alone for a while longer. The other night was the full moon." With that said, James grabbed his uniform which had been laid out the night before by the house-elves, then went into the bathroom to shower and get ready for the day.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kayla was sitting on her bed thinking about the many different ways to kill Sirius when she suddenly heard a strangled scream that came from Lily's bed. Kayla hurriedly got out of her own bed, raced towards Lily's, and wrenched open the hangings to find Lily tangled up in her black and blue sheets, sweat dampening her body, and a expression that could only be explained as terror on her face. A groggy, "Lily?" came from behind Kayla, and she turned her head to see Aria rush over to Lily's side also. "What's wrong with her?" Aria asked. All she got in answer though, was a shrug, for Kayla didn't have a clue either. Not unless.no, it couldn't be. She got rid of those nightmares years ago.
Kayla gently laid her hand on Lily's shoulder, and shook her awake. Lily came up swinging, but as Kayla had been prepared just incase she was indeed having these dreams again, stepped back hurriedly. "When have you started these dreams again?" Kayla asked, and received an astonished glance from Aria, and a sorrowful one from Lily. "About two nights ago." Lily then looked at Aria, and said, "I'm not going to tell this story again unless I fell like it's required, but I want to tell you this. It's gory, it's disgusting, and it's violent. Do you want to hear it?" when Aria nodded her head without an hesitation, Lily sighed and made room on her bed so that the two of them could get on it with her.
"When I was about10," Lily began with a sharp intake of breath as all of those memories of that night came flooding back with the force of a tidal wave. "My sister died. My twin sister. Her name was Camellia. I loved her with everything that I was. You see, we were like one person. I felt everything that she felt, and vice-versa. We were inseparable. She had a wild side, and next to her, I'd look like a nun, even now. One day, we had made plans to go up to the cliff that was on our property, and hung over the hills in Ireland. We were to go at night, because our parents would be extremely pissed off at us if we were to be out there. You see, this cliff hung close to 300 feet from the pointy hills, that were littered with sharp dangerous rocks. And the cliff itself was very fragile, because it was just hanging off of the ledge, and pieces of it would plummet to the ground below during storms. With Ireland, you never know when it's going to storm, or when it's going to shine, so that night we went on with our plan, not paying any heed to the thick, dark clouds over our heads. We had just wanted to see what it looked like down there, because we were never allowed close to the edge, and you couldn't see down there from any window in the house. Cammey had ran a head of me to see what it looked like, because I thought that I had heard someone following us. Within a couple of seconds, t he sky's opened up, and rain plummeted the ground relentlessly. And before I could run up to my sister to drag her away from the ledge." Lily, who had been sobbing silently throughout this whole story, started to shake and gasp. "The ledge, it-it-it-it fell. And s-sh-sh-s-she w-w-w-went with it." Lily choked out then began to sob on the nearest shoulder, which happened to be Aria. Kayla then came over to the other side of her from the foot of the bed, and began to make soothing movements on her back.
"Oh, my God, Lily. I'm so sorry that that happened." Aria whispered. Lily looked up, her face tearstained, and cracked a smile at her friend. "Over the years I've learned to deal with it, little by little. I now hardly ever have those dreams anymore, and I only cry when I tell someone else, or I start t thinking about what my life would be like if she was still here, and things like that. There's nothing to be sorry for, but thanks anyways." Lily looked into both of her friends eyes, then said, "I have first dibs on the shower. Which I'm going to take right now, so you guys can either go back to bed, or find an interesting way to wake her," she said pointing to Tiffany. "Up." With that said. Lily picked up the revolting uniform that was required, then walked towards the shower to get ready for the first day back at school. And if this morning is any constellation, it's going to be one hell of a day. She thought to her self as she began to strip.

Breakfast.
"Why is it," James asked in an irritated voice as they walked over to the Ravenclaw table for breakfast. (They, meaning the Marauders, always ate Breakfast over at the Ravenclaw table with the girls, then the girls ate Dinner over at the Gryffindor table with the boys. And lunch was a toss up. Which ever group got to the Hall first, the others sat at their table.) "That they always seem to stick us with the Slytherins for Potions. You'd think that they'd get the idea that our two classes do NOT mix, and would keep us apart. But oh no, they put us with those smelly, greasy, conniving, bastards every freaking YEAR!" James screamed the last, then smiling sheepishly when he noticed everyone staring at him.
Lily and Kayla looked up and grinned at James, and said in a sugar sweet voice, "Potions with Slytherins again this year boys?" The three boys, minus Peter-he always ate at the Gryffindor table, saying "It's improper to eat at any table but your own. Plus, I'm likely to get killed or poisoned if I eat over there", glared at them. Lily then looked down at the Ravenclaw Sixth year schedule, and swore. " I guess we can't gloat all that much, seeing as we STILL have Herbology with the smelly bastards." Kayla's head shot up from the book that she was reading, and snatched the offending piece of paper out of Lily's hand and swore venomously.
"Well," Remus and Aria said at the same time. Aria blushed and continued. "We have three classes together this year." Remus nodded, and continued. "Yep. Transfig., Charms, and History of Magic." Kayla and Sirius looked gleeful at this for some reason, while James and Lily looked shocked. The teacher's always complained when they had the Gryffindors and Ravenclaws together, especially if that class held James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Lily Evans, Kayla Cameron, and Aradriana Williams inside its walls. They always created too much trouble, and always ended up with twice the amount of detentions that they normally came out of classes with. Yet, they have three classes together. Not to mention that James, Sirius, Lily, and Kayla all have Divination together, and Remus and Aria had Muggle Studies together.
Just then, mail came. Lily got a letter from home, a good amount of love letters, and a few friends that she had met during summer in the Virgin Islands. James got a letter from his mom and sister, and a few love letters again. Sirius got some Chocolate from his Dad, a letter from his mom, and many admirers letters. Remus got something from his family, and a few letters professing love for him. Aria got a letter from her mom and brothers, two from some of her friends that went to different wizarding schools, and a couple letters from admirers. Now Kayla, she was a different thing. She got a letter from her mother and father, and a countless number of love letters, offers to be her sex slave and so on. Being the single most hardest female that looked half way decent, she was one of the most sought after female in the school, coming in the same ranks as Lily and Aria.
Kayla groaned and set all of the letters aflame.
The bell singling class was about to begin sounded throughout the Castle, and students languidly got out of their seats, and headed towards their first classes. The group of six that sat at the Ravenclaw table groaned with great depth, not wanting to go to potions with the Slytherins, and not wanting to go to Care of Magical Creatures with the Hufflepuff, who always seemed too scared to go with in a fifty mile radius of the creatures that are out there.
They said their goodbyes and went on their way.
(A/N: I'm going to skip the classes and lunch, 'cuz well, I don't really know what to write, and I want to finish this chapter tonight, and that requires the detention, so sorry.)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Dinner
"I so do not want to do detention tonight." Whined Lily as she sat down at her normal seat next to James at the Gryffindor table. "I know. This day has got to be the longest in Hogwarts history." Complained Kayla. "Pouncer, you have no idea how right you are. The three of us here alone got seventy- five points taken away from Gryffindor." Sirius said. "All in Potions too!" James huffed. "How were we supposed to know that," he paused to take a bite of food. " we weren't supposed to answer her questions! I mean come on! She was mumbling to herself for hells sake." (A/N: Sorry if you think that that was meant as a religious thing. I didn't mean it that way, but I couldn't think of anything better.)
Before any of them knew it, dinner was over, and they had to go out onto the Quidditch grounds to see what their detentions were. All of them dragging their feet along the way. When they got to the field, they saw that Really Cranky- the Caretaker- was already there, and living up to his name, as always.
"You two," he said in a hissing voice, pointing to Remus and Aria. "Will be polishing the hoops on the Quidditch rings. You two," he said pointing towards Sirius and Kayla. "Will be polishing trophies, and you know the drill. No wands. And you two." He sneered towards James and Lily. " You two will be in the Library restocking books. Now you all go to your destinations, someone will be there to tell you what to do. No go! Scat!" and for once, they did what he told them to do. Which was only because they wanted to get away from the crabby, priss of a caretaker.
Lily and James made their way to the Library, while Sirius and Kayla went the opposite way, towards the Trophy room. "Books." Lily sighed as they stepped inside. "Hello, Mrs. Empia." The librarian looked up from the book that she was currently reading, and smiled at her favorite student. "Why hello, Lily. How was your summer? I hope you read some interesting things." Lily beamed at the mention of books. You would be able to tell that they were her one true love if you had just meet her for the first time, and didn't know anything about her what so ever. James cleared his throat to make his presence know just as Lily had opened her mouth to comment. Lily frowned at him, then said, "Oh, yes, how silly of me. Madame Empia, this is James Potter. He and I have a detention to serve here." The librarian nodded in James's direction, and replied, "Oh yes, you are to be putting these," indicating a rather small pile of books if you asked for Lily's opinion, but rather humongous if you asked James. "In alphabetical order, and laying them out in that such order on that table there." She said pointing towards a table near an empty bookcase. "I'll be back in two hours to retrieve you two. Behave now." With that, she had disappeared.
Sirius and Kayla were at present, arguing. Like always. "Sirius, so help me God if you do not remove your hands from my ass, I will hex you into the next Era." Kayla growled at him. But, Sirius being Sirius, didn't move his hands immediately. He had to give them a little squeeze before releasing the nicely rounded hemispheres. "Yes, your Highness." He mocked. Kayla growled at him from deep within her throat, and attacked the trophy that she was polishing with a fervor that she had never shown before, trying- unsuccessfully- to ignore the telltale blush that graced her cheeks.
"You know," Remus started as he and Aria started to clean the Quidditch hoops. "I do believe that our friends have a problem." Aria looked at him, and smiled. He's so handsome. She thought. "Yes, they seem to like each other. Kayla, even though she swears that she fantasies about Sirius's death, has a little bit of a crush on him, and Lily, well you saw how she looked at him on the train. Almost as if she could eat him right up. And he was just standing there gazing at her as if she was the most beautiful thing in the world. We all know that Sirius, even though he won't admit it, has a sweet spot for Kayla." Remus grinned at her. Nothing passed her, did it? "So," he drawled. "What are we going to do about it?" Aria looked at him with a mischievous glint in her eyes that could be mistaken for one of Sirius's looks, if her eyes had been brown, and an evil grin to go along with that. "We set them up."
