A/N: Finally I can understand what I'm writing and you can understand
reading it. Lol.In other news, I had started on the next story and.. Er..
Accidentally deleted it. So I'm not very happy with myself.
It ended up that Remus was the only one that had no idea about the copycat move that had happened four days ago. Everyone was too busy in costume fitting and final practices so that everything would go perfect that next week. And the few who weren't staying over the short holiday were packing their books so they could do all their homework. Classes had been called off since no one was paying attention anyway. The Marauders, Lily and Eva had all gathered at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall. James had filled everyone in on the small adventure last night. He forgot to mention the reason that Gwen was able to do spells without a wand.
"Well I doubt that you can be throwing around death curses when ever he kisses you this next week. Though you know I'll be wanting to punch him," said Sirius.
"Don't worry Si. Out of the four of you, you're the one who comes second closest to killing anyone. Prince Peter banishes Romeo, Friar James tries to kill me, Cousin Remus does get to kill Malfoy, but get killed by Snape, and you, Count Sirius, you push him to suicide along with Friar James, so maybe that will make you both happy to think about," said Gwen.
"Yeah, well I'll be sure to keep that in mind, and I do not try to kill you! You wanted a solution, It's not my fault the only solution is for you to look dead," said James.
"Oh, that reminds me. I found out that Professor Helms asked Professor Sauron if there really was such a potion, and he said yes, so I really would look dead. He's making the potion today, and personally I think he's only doing it because he has a crush on Helms. So don't worry if I do look dead because I'm not," commented Gwen.
The other four Marauders looked at each other and smiled. "Does that mean?" asked Peter.
"No. No one is giving Snape real poison, so we're still out of luck," replied Gwen.
"Well then we still have next weekend after the play to figure something out. I know why you didn't want to kill Snape while you had the chance, but there's always later," sighed Remus.
"Yes, from what I've seen, this Snape seems to be most detestable. But then all these Slytherins are. Though I must say that Malfoy does look quite cute," commented Eva.
Gwen and Lily both made faces. "You keep that up and we're going to either ask for you to have a room change or resorted so you can go over to Slytherin." said Lily. "Trust me, he may look cute and sweet, but Lucius Malfoy in nothing but a sneaky snake that can't be trusted. He'll lure you into his trap and poison your mind with his venom. Then he'll turn you into one of his zombies who do nothing but fawn over him all day. Or like a snake in the grass, he'll sneak up on you and strangle all life and goodness out of you and then you'll be one of his zombies. Either way, it's no good."
"I think she gets the point Lily. You're going to scare the poor girl out of Hogwarts. Lets just leave it at Malfoy is just your normal sneaky Slytherin," replied Gwen.
"Alright. Well then maybe I'll look around the other houses if that will make you two happy. And so I can keep my bed curse free," said Eva and sat back with an open book.
"Well then, what should we do with the rest of our free time? Study for class? Practice for the play? Maybe a Wizard's chess tournament? Or should we just go our separate ways?" asked Sirius.
"Personally I'd like to study for either class or the play," commented Peter.
"Well I'm sorry to say that we have Quidditch Practice Sirius," said James. Sirius stood up and grabbed his bag. "We'll see you all later." James grabbed his bag and they walked out of the Great Hall and off toward the Quidditch field.
"I'll go ahead and stay with you Peter," said Lily.
"Wizard's Chess?" suggested Remus, looking over at Gwen.
"Fine, but you know you usually beat me," replied Gwen.
"Yeah, but that's what should make it more fun," said Remus with a grin.
"See you later then," said Gwen to the other three.
"Well then what am I supposed to do?!" exclaimed Eva.
"Go watch the Quidditch Stars. There's not much more to do unless you want to stay and study 'cause I doubt you want to follow those two," said Lily, point over her shoulder at Gwen and Remus. "And personally, I don't think I've seen Sirius look at a girl like he does with you. Except maybe back when he was going out with Gwen. But then I could be mistaken."

The costumes had every alternation done and perfected. Everyone had their lines drilled into their heads and had their marks down so everything would be perfect. Of course this was Hogwarts so there was bound to be some mess- ups, but nothing deadly. At least we can hope nothing fatal will happen.
