I'M ONE AWAY FROM 50 REVIEWS!!! YES! Who will that LuCkY nUmBeR go to? I GUESS YOU'LL HAVE TO REVIEW TO FIND OUT! IT COULD BE YOU!!
Thank you for all my beautiful reviews! They all bring a tear to mine eye… I'm flattered that you all find me so funny! I've always thought I was… and I tell my friends that at least once a week… but to hear it from people that don't have to agree in order to not get hit… It's a marvelous thing! And yes – a plot will be coming… I don't know if there's already one… but if there is… I've got another one! I'm still building up, and getting many other little plots here and there. Oh yes, it's all coming together in my head… muahahaha… On with CHAPTER 10!! WOOO!

'Flick and swish. Flick and swish, I say. Flick and bloody swish!' he thought. "ARRGG! Why won't you fricken flick and swish?! Ruddy wand!"
Thus, people's first day of school began.
Peter was now banging his wand on the Charms desk, red sparks shooting out upon impact, after impact. Everyone was watching the display, laughing to him or herself.
"Mr. Pettigrew, please stop – you'll ruin your wand! Permanently!" Prof. Flitwick was frantically avoiding the now bluish coloured, gel-like substance that was now protruding from Peter's wand.
"Finite Incantatem."
"Thank you Lily." Flitwick said, getting back on his piled books. "20 points to Gryffindor. 15 away from Gryffindor for no self-control, inability to listen to a teacher, and making a mess!"
Peter banged his head on the table, splashing the Marauders around him in the blue stuff.
"Dag-namit Peter! Clean this up!" Sirius yelled, pulling his robes forward, and examining them in disgust.
"I would, but Merlin knows I'd just set it on fire."
Lily came over, and cleaned everything up. "There you go Peter. If you wish, you can sit by me from now on and I'll help you whenever you need it. I'm sure James won't mind moving over one." James' jaw dropped. Peter didn't notice this; he was too busy scrounging up his things, moving to James' spot. "C'mon James, scoot over one." James grudgingly moved over, mumbling about Peter and his incompetence.
Peter plopped down next to Lily, and sighed, "I owe you one Lily. Really."
"Don't mention it, just help me in Herbology." Lily said smiling at the boy. "I can't stand to touch half of those things. 'Squeeze the buber-tuber pus and put it into a vial', my ass -"
"Ok, ok. Deal. You help me Charm, and I'll squeeze your pus." Peter said, and quickly regretted. Lily went red. James went red. Peter went Fire engine red. All the Gryffindor's and Ravenclaw's were laughing so hard, they went red.
Even little Prof. Flitwick, who was trying to subdue the class, was laughing as he spoke, "Class – hehe – pl-please…" he laughed for about 2 more minutes, "Simme – heheher down. Now." He covered everyone with cold water. The only one who didn't get soaked was Peter, who was hiding under his desk, banging his head upon its legs. Lily and James had started laughing at everyone else – especially Flitwick. No one seemed to care that they were soaked head to toe. They were in Charms learning instant drying spells; they'd charm themselves dry.
Ding.
"All right class, we'll continue with wetting spells tomorrow, and use the drying spells we learned today to help us not catch cold." Flitwick explained, allowing the class to leave. The Ravenclaw's went off to Care of Magical Creatures, while the Gryffindor's joined the Hufflepuff's for none other than Herbology.
Once settled in class, the Gryffindor's were quite surprised that Sirius hadn't commented on Peter's tongue the whole way there.
"Welcome everybody, to your first class of Herbology: Level 6." Prof. Sprout started, "Today, we will be digging up Gutter Vines, picking off the red needles, only the red needles, and squeezing the pus out." Gryffindor's tried to hold in their laughter at the word 'pus', "If you pull off any of the blue or purple needles, which are not ripe yet, the vine will sting you. If you're stung, you fail today's lesson. If you fail today's lesson, you're most likely dead. Get my meaning? Good. Go into groups of two. Two people to four plants. The pus collected from the red needles will be placed in these bottles. Once bottled, cork it. All right, get a partner, supplies, and then get to it." She finished, and the sound of shuffling feet, and looks of disgust on the students' faces were heard, and seen.
Lily and Peter immediately went together. James and Mel, Sirius and Ara, Remus and Jen. After most the class collected their red needles, they started to squeeze their pus into the bottles.
"Hey Peter," Sirius called down his row.
"What Sirius? I'm busy." Peter replied. He was concentrating hard, while Lily was "Eww!"ing, and "Oh my God it touched me!"ing.
"Busy squeezing Lily's pus?"
Hoards of laughter ensued. Prof. Sprout looked quite taken aback at Sirius' language. But Gryffindor's laughing, and some bottles breaking drowned out all she tried to say.
When people started to calm down, the Hufflepuff's started reminding them where they left off. Any mention of pus, and the Gryffindor's would chuckle.
"Hey Peter – "
"Shut up Jen." Lily answered, not looking up. If she had, she would have seen every Gryffindor looking in anticipation.
"Can you help me squeeze me pus?" She asked, twirling a lock of red/black hair around her pinky, biting her lip. A whole new fit of laughter came. Sirius and Jen gave high fives. "You're so good. Sorry Remus, bud – but Peter excels here." She laughed. Remus went a little redder than others, but laughed harder anyways.
"That's enough Black's! 15 points from Gryffindor! From the both of you." Prof. Sprout was red faced in anger. If Prof. Flitwick were there, he'd have told her to let it be. But he was busy being banished by his 7th years.
"But my pus is leaking out!" Sirius whined, hoping she'll say what he thinks she'll say.
"Then cork it Black!" She yelled back. She soon realized her mistake, and clamped a hand over her mouth. Now the whole class was on the Greenhouse #5's ground, rolling in dirt, and few in pus. "Detentions for the both of you!"

After lunch, they all went off to class. Most went their separate ways. James, Remus and Jen had a spare. Sirius and Peter (much to his dismay) stayed for Advanced Herbology. Mel went to Advanced Potions. Lily to Advanced Charms, and Ara to Advanced Arithmancy.
(A/N: I'll count this little paragraph as part of my story… why not?) Now, because I have no life, and this helps me, I made their timetables. Wow – you say? I know. I had 20 minutes at the end of class, and didn't want to mess up when they had certain classes, with which other Houses, and with which friends they had them. And because I feel like it: You get a copy of it.

Wow… I can't believe I made their timetables… I'm typing this a few days after I made their times tables… and I forgot that I did that… ok, question time!
Can you see anyone, other than Lily and James, who like each other? I've made teeny, tiny, incy-bincy little hints. So teeny I don't expect many people to see them. But guess anyhow!
And I made up the Medical Magic thing! I think that if I can take CPR and Self Defense classes at school, so can they! They take Medical Magic, and later (in Harry's years) they take Dueling… or what they could of it… *ahem* I also put in Medical Care of Magical Creatures. Like a Biology/Vet course. Good stuff to know if ever your Hippogriff gets sick! ;) I gave them spares. I love spares. And the further you get in school, the more spares you're allowed!
And I'll take reviewer's advice, and try to make my chapters longer! I'll add more imagery, or something, etc.!
Zoe Lefebvre, you wanna marry my story, eh? I'll see how it feels, and get back to you, ok? No hurry though! It's nowhere near done!
And many thanks to Kitty Kat Alex who corrected me in my spelling of pus… I used to put two s's… that was very wrong of me!! Thank you so much! Thus this chapter was revised!
I hope you enjoyed this chapter! And as always – tell me what you think in your review. If you don't tell me, then I can't change!
