Disclaimer: Okay, I keep forgetting to put them in so here you go. J. K. Rowling owns the characters and loads of other stuff but the plot is mine and I also own: Larry Lovegood and Geoffrey Lockhart.

Thursday Night
"Room of Requirement..... room of...... URGGGHH! Where the bloody hell is it?" Said a very annoyed Sirius Black.
It was the night of the first Debate club meeting and the Marauders were having quite a hard time finding the room of requirement. Of course, with Sirius Black and Peter Petigrew you were bound to have a hard time doing anything.
"O.K. I guess it's my turn to be the voice of logic. Well we know it's on this floor and it's called the room of requirement."
"I think we've established that Remus."
"Well." Remus continued. "The name says it all "requirement." If we need it (a faint "duh" could be heard) then it should appear."
Suddenly James realized that there was an entrance they hadn't seen before. "Um... I think Remus was right. I'm quite sure this is it." With that said, they entered.

"Well, well, well... look who showed up. They no doubt need that extra credit."
"Stuff it Evans."
"Class, please be seated. Now that you've found us, we shall begin. Let me introduce your errrrrr..... teacher, I guess... well this is Professor Lockhart." With that a young man around thirty stepped out from behind a curtain.
"Yes, yes. Please no photos. I'm Geoffrey Lockhart winner of "Witch Weekly's" most dazzling smile three times in a row. You may also buy my book "Me and My Magic." With that he smiled, struck a pose and pulled out a piece of paper. "Now those who wish to continue, please come up here and sign your names." All the students came up and signed the parchment.

"Thank you now please be seated. Here at the debate club we shall........ well debate. Now for our first class we shall debate whether Books are better then Broomsticks or Quidditch. Raise your hand if you say Books." Lily, Snape and Remus raised their hands. "Right. Three people. So that means the rest of you are in favour of Broomsticks and Quidditch." Nods and "yes" or "yeah" could be heard going around the room. "Now. Why would you say that Broomsticks and Quidditch are better...... um..... Mr. Lovegood?"
"Well in my opinion they are much better because with books you're most likely to get the disease known as Herfanguls." All the class stared at him.
"Ah, yes. The famous Herfanguls. Very common. I myself once had to make a very difficult potion to help a poor victim, she was close to death but with my potion she survived. You can read about it in my book called "Cures and Potions." A bestseller might I add. Now um....... Mr Lupin why do you say Books are better?"
"Well with books you gain knowledge and imagination. Your views of anything can alter with a few powerful words. Besides in a book you can feel all sorts of emotions and also feel the rush of excitement as if you were riding a broomstick." Lily nodded her approval.
"Yes, very well said indeed. Now since it's almost time to leave, I have an assignment for you. I will partner you up and you shall work together for a month. Now the assignment is for you to do some surveys around the schools and see the outcomes. I will hand you a piece of parchment with the topics you are to take the surveys on. You will receive 3 topics each and I will ask you to bring in your first completed survey next week. Now then: Arabella Figg with Larry Lovegood, Sirius Black with Rita Skeeter, Remus Lupin with Boderick Bode, James Potter with Lily Evans........" Both Lily and James tuned out there. Them? Working together for a whole month? Signing up was the worst thing that they had done.

"Okay Lily at least you got someone who's actually sane. I'm stuck with that Loony Lovegood. What the Hell are Herfanguls?"
"No trust me on this. Potter is the worst. I'd trade him for Lovegood any day."
"Lily I have a feeling you are really going to regret saying that one day. What do you have against Potter anyway? It's like you two have been holding a grudge over nothing."
"How could you say that! Potter is an egotistical, narcissistic, good for nothing pain in my ass!" And with that Lily stormed up the stairs, shouted out the password, ran up to her dormitory and went to bed.
