Calicat: HEE HEE! I love being hyper! Do you know what I do when I'm hyper?
Alicorn: Whack people over the head with the Mona Lisa? (Rubs newest bump)
Calicat: Close… I write FAN-FIC!
Alicorn: You're insane.
Calicat: Thank you.
Alicorn: Anyway … going back to the story.
Calicat: The incredibly hyper story.
Alicorn: Yes… off to the story.
Calicat: Ahhh, but we need our disclaimer first.
***
Disclaimer: You know what's ours.
Alicorn: Who are we kidding, we don't have much.
Calicat: But it's something!
Alicorn: You're WAY too peppy. Oh! thanks to our new beta TIGRA!
Calicat: Yay! Check out HER stories under 'Tigra and Loup'!

Maeghan went out to the billboard, outside the Great hall, near the Quidditch field doors. She looked at the list.
"YAAAAY!" She jumped up, and then saw James and Sirius. She looked, and there was also Remus, smiling at her.
She went and hugged him.
"Are you on the team?" questioned Remus looking down at excited girlfriend.
Maeghan nodded for she was too excited to speak.
"What are you?" Remus looked at his girlfriend.
"Keeper!"
"I'm a Chaser." Sirius puffed out his chest.
"I'm a Seeker?" James looked puzzled.
"Well James, we have practice in five minutes. I'll see you there!"
Maeghan skipped off happily.
***
Ari went up to the stands. Tonight, after one practice the Gryffindors had this afternoon, there was a game. She was excited for her cousin, but could sense something … where was Sirius?
She went to go and look for him.
***
Maeghan stepped onto the field. She was wearing a charm bracelet that seemed to move. It was a hand stopping the Quaffle from going into the hoop.
She looked around.
There on the other side was Remus, waving.
She smiled.
She had tied her hair with a red and gold ribbon. Her robes were long, and flowing. She hadn't put on any makeup, and her complexion was clear and glowing.
Frederick Wood regarded her with respect, her being the only girl on the team.
Maeghan smiled again, glowing with pleasure.
Then they started to practice.
Sirius was coming towards her with a Quaffle. She had barely enough time to hit the ball away from the hoops, and then catch it herself. Meanwhile, James had found the snitch in an average of fifteen minutes.
At the end of the practice, Maeghan went for a shower, then, re-tied her hair and went back to her dorm for some rest.
She needed all of her strength to play Slytherin. Meanwhile, Ari slipped out to talk to Sirius.
***
"So Sirius, can't get past a girl when you try to score?" Ari taunted.
"At least I have the guts to try out." Sirius shot back.
Ari punched Sirius lightly, mock frowning at her boyfriend.
She whispered something in his ear.
"Watch out for Maeghan will you? She's my only HUMAN family" Then Ari left to get ready for the Quidditch game, leaving Sirius to blink and wonder.
***
The girls decided to get dressed up for the big event.
Lily wore a long jean skirt and a black off-the-sleeve peasant top. She had put her hair up in a bun, but left two tendrils down on both sides. Her hair seemed to glow in the light.
Ari wore flared jeans and a light blue t-shirt that said, 'I'm perfect, it's not my fault the world is wrong'. Her hair was let down in waves, but she had a gold headband on, accenting her floating hair.
Maeghan wasn't wearing her Gryffindor robes. She had permission to dress up … she told Wood it was to distract the boys.
Maeghan was wearing a red dress, short, with a gold tint. It was slit down the back so that she could fly, but also to show off some leg. Her red streaks seemed to stick out, and they complimented the dress. She had done up her hair in a Chinese bun, with two gold chopsticks. Each was ornamented with a heart-shaped ruby. She looked stunning.
Lucius' jaw dropped when the team sped out to do a lap of the field, but Maeghan smiled only at a bedazzled Remus.
The game started. Maeghan wouldn't let the Quaffle get by, and James was head-to-head with the other Seeker. Sirius had gotten 10 goals in 20 minutes. Ari and Lily both had sore throats after the game, but it was worth it.
Lucius was a Chaser for Slytherin. He was flying over Maeghan, when suddenly a Bludger came and whacked her on the head. Lucius saw her fall, and caught her.
"Show off." Remus grumbled to Ari.
"Well, then do something about it," muttered Ari, not seeing the evil grin on Remus' face.
"You're right…" Remus grinned.
***
Remus sneaked down the steps, and went out to the sidelines. He got a perfect view. Lucius was just standing there, with Maeghan in his arms. Remus grimaced, and then pulled out his wand.
He grabbed the Bludger.
'This should do the trick,' he thought.
He did some complex movements, and the spell was reversed from hitting Maeghan, to hitting the curses' original caster.
Remus was soon seen back in his box, grinning as the bludger was released.
***
Lucius Malfoy always knew he was a good actor. This proved it. His little 'accident' was 'perfectly innocent', and now the bludger was going to hit Maeghan again … he was a mastermind.
Then Lucius saw Remus come down to help Maeghan.
He went up to her, and hugged her, then whispered something into her ear.
Lucius looked enviously at the two of them.
Maeghan should've been his. He almost had her, but that 'WEREWOLF' had gotten her first.
A harsh whistle cut off Lucius' thoughts, and he didn't see the Bludger.
***
Lucius came over by Maeghan, so that he could be the first one to rescue her again.
Maeghan saw the Bludger, and ducked. Lucius wasn't so lucky. He got hit in the stomach. He was winded, and the Bludger kept attacking him as he fell off his broom.
***
Remus watched, trying not to grin. His spell must have been a bit too powerful.
At that minute, James caught the snitch. Everyone was in shock, especially Sirius. A bludger rammed down out of nowhere.
"Argh!"
Sirius had to stop in mid-flight, and he crashed into Maeghan. The two crashed into a hoop, and Maeghan hit her head, going limp. They were so high, that when they hit the ground, Remus and Ari were already there.
"Sirius?!" Ari looked at her boyfriend.
Sirius rolled aside, but Maeghan wasn't so lucky. She was knocked out, and a gash was staining all of her hair red, as a bump began to swell.
"Someone get her to the Hospital Wing!" Remus shouted, his voice cracking with worry.
Madame Pomphrey was soon summoned, and began to take care of Maeghan.
Maeghan slept in the Hospital Wing that night, with a concussion, multiple bruises, and a sprained wrist and finger.
***
A day later Maeghan was still unconscious. Ari was angry with her cousin, but most of her was angry with Sirius.
She fell onto her bed and started bashing her pillow viciously.
"Ari?" Lily poked her head in.
"Yes?"
"Maeghan … I was going to visit her. Wanna come?" Lily hopefully gazed at Ariella.
"Why don't you ask Alanna? I think she's reading near the fire. I'm too busy-"
"Killing feather pillows?"
"Yes actually. If you don't leave soon, I'll kill you too. So GO!"
Lily took her friend's advice and asked Alanna.
Soon after Lily left with Alanna, Ari started sobbing, and cried herself to sleep with the curtains pulled.
The two then went off to the hospital wing. On their way, Lily charmed some flowers for her friend.
They had a surprise when they got there.

Calicat: I had to add angst. NO WAY I'm creating a Mary Sue.
Alicorn: Yeah. Do you think that Ari's too Mary Sue-ish?
Calicat: Umm, I don't know.
Alicorn: Well, we'll need to work on some other plot lines too.
Calicat: Aargh! I hate hanging lines! They're so unpredictable!
Alicorn: Yup. They can be tame one minute and then, like a snake, they'll bite you in the arse.
Calicat: Hmph.
Alicorn: Ya know, we need Pettigrew . . .
Calicat: KILLEE!
Alicorn: (Sighs) @.@
