The next morning, Remus could be found picking at his eggs while glancing down the Gryffindor table at Gwen, Lily and the rest of their little group at regular five-minute intervals. Sirius and Peter could guess something was wrong and James knew but was not going to tell anyone.
"Jeez, Moony seems to be in a complete trance… Sure he never went wandering around last night and got brainwashed?" Asked Peter, looking at Remus. "He's beginning to scare me."
"Shut up you stupid rat," muttered Remus.
(A/N: One of the two phrases I've always wanted to put in one of my FanFics.)
James slightly laughed and noticed that the girls took no regard of the four male Marauders. All in all that was fine with him. Lily would probably nag him for not doing his potions homework. He didn't do his Astronomy either, and Professor Weasley would be down his back once again if she didn't show up in DADA again.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" hissed Gwen, at James, when she passed by on her way to class.
"I know I didn't do my homework, but that's no reason to scare me about it," whispered back James.
"You are such a dunderhead… If you can't figure it out, then I'm certainly not going to tell you what today is," replied Gwen and glared at James as she passed.
"Thursday last I checked Guinivere," yawned Sirius. She didn't reply.

Professor Greenleaf walked back and forth, slightly wondering what the Gryffindor's might be up to today. Her friend swore up and down that the DADA job wasn't jinxed… it just had to do with the four troublemakers of Gryffindor. Well, five if you counted Potter's twin sister who rarely did anything in her class, but listened carefully to every word she was saying. Aure Greenleaf sighed and turned to address the class.
"Today we will be learning about Dementors. These creatures are easily run off with the Patronus Charm. However, for young witches and wizards like you, a dementor is something to be greatly feared. Whenever one of them gets near you, you will greatly know it, for they make everyone around them feel cold the depressed. After a long time near one, the person will go insane. They also have a powerful weapon known, appropriately, as the Dementor's kiss," said the Professor as almost everyone took notes. She smiled slightly. "They use this by clamping onto the victim's mouth and sucking out their very soul…" The class shuddered. "Any questions?"
Sure enough, the dynamic duo both had a question… "Yes Miss Perigree?"
"What does the Patronus Charm look like?" she asked. James rolled his eyes.
"Now Mr. Potter. There are no stupid questions… only asinine people like yourself." Part of the class laughed. James looked confused, but knew he had just been insulted. "The Patronus has several forms and it all depends on the witch or wizard who conjures it. It is always made of a white fog- like substance."
Lily's hand was still up. "Yes Miss Evans?"
"Can't the Patronus Charm also be used to repel a lethifold?" She asked. Aure smiled.
"Yes. In fact it is the only charm that will do so. Very good. 5 points to Gryffindor," said Professor Greenleaf. Lily smiled. James was looking for a dictionary…
The rest of the day when by uneventfully and after dinner, Lily had run off and Remus was the first to find her afterwards.
Lily was crying in the Gryffindor Common Room over something when Remus entered. "What's wrong Lily?" asked Remus immediately.
"H- h- h- he ~sob~ forgoooooooot!" She sobbed.
I'm gonna regret asking this, thought Remus. "Who forgot what?"
"James forgot my birthday!" replied Lily. "How could you forget Remus?"
"He didn't!" exclaimed Remus, trying to act shocked. He actually looked nervous. Remus wrapped a comforting arm around Lily's shoulder. "Maybe he just was preoccupied with the thoughts of the game on Saturday," he said quickly.
Gwen and James came walking in and both saw the scene. "What in the bloody hell is going on?" asked James. Gwen rolled her eyes.
"You are asinine James…" replied Gwen.
"What does that mean!?" exclaimed the exasperated Quidditch star.
"Asinine: of, relating to, or resembling an ass," replied Gwen. "You better get off to your room before I punch you Potter…" James slinked off to his room.
