A/N: Well, here is my second attempt at a chappy fic. This was done as I had work and was bored to pieces…it's dangerous when I get to thinking…

Lily Evans tossed back her long auburn hair as she walked to the Gryffindor table and sat next to her group of friends. Her current boyfriend, Eamon Ryley sat down next to her. A good number of seats down Sirius choked on his food as Eamon ate a grape out of Lily's mouth.

"They make me sick," James commented into his porridge.

Sirius nodded rubbing his throat. Remus stood. "Come on. We're going to be late for transfiguration.

The boys walked into McGonagall's class with the rest of Gryffindor. Once everyone was seated McGonagall cleared her throat.

"I'm sure you've all heard of a marriage project and as seventh years, you will be given a similar project. This is your last year at Hogwarts. You will be going out into the real world and some of you may decide to marry. You will be assigned a partner for the rest of the year. This homemaking course is designed to prepare you for married life; owning a home, holding a job, and raising children. You may have noticed that this is your only class for today. That is so because as your head of house, I must pass out your pamphlets, assign partners, and explain some things."

A hand went up. "Professor, is our partner like-a…spouse?"

"Well, if you want to put it that way, yes. Now in a few moments I will announce partners, but first I need to alert you of two things. You will each be given a randomly selected job with its appropriate salary. You may be laid off at any given time and required to find another job. Some of you may be homemakers thus you earn no salary and it is up to your "spouse" to provide for the household. Any questions?"

After answering a few things that concerned some students she passed out the pamphlets.

"We have to worry about finances?"

"We need to learn to make baby food?"

"Settle down! I will now announce partners! Fudge, Bartholomew! Fletcher, Adams! Smith, Firely! Black, Banks! Lupin, Figg! Hobbs, Baker! Pettigrew, Rosmeretta! Ryley, Carlson! Potter, Evans! Now, move to your partner."

Most students shuffled forlornly to their partners unhappy about the results.

"So, Lily, I was thinking…" James Potter trailed off as it was obvious that his partner wasn't paying attention as she was too busy sending Lauren Carlson death glares as she giggled to something Eamon had said. Her venomous looks stopped as McGonagall handed out the career/salary papers.

Some students were quite happy with the results but what was written on Lily's paper made her stand up in a furry and yell, "I demand another job!"

Well, well. I know it's really short but should I continue with this? Let you know which "job" Lily has gotten? If I can get around 10 reviews I'll continue!!!!!!
