Chapter Six

~*~

"Students..." Dumbledore raised his hand to calm the restless student, "As you know Halloween is one week away." This caused a round of "WOOOHOOO"s from Sirius end of the table. "Thank you Mr. Black." ("No prob Dumbledore.") "We will be holding the Head competition that night immediately following the Hogsmade visit. All those who are involved please report to the Great Hall half an hour before hand. The rest of you shall report at seven o'clock. Now if that... dig in!"

"Oh Lily I can't wait to see who gets it!" Brook was restless in her seat.

"Oh I can..." Lily seemed a little less enthused as the others.

"Oh Lillers why aren't you excited?" Tracy was a tad more concerned than the others.

"Its just a HUGE responsibility and I am not sure if i want it. I mean I don't want to sound rude or anything but on a normal basis only SEVENTH years get head boy or girl. I don't know where Dumbledore got the idea but, I'm not sure it was a good one."

"Oh Lily, remember if your not ready for the job then your not ready. Dumbledore will see what you are capable of and judge you accordingly." Danni shoved a piece of toast in her mouth.

"Yea, but still its a little nerve racking."

"Babe you can do whatever you want. You don't need to be head." Brook was putting jam on her buiscut.

~*~

"James we are so screwed." Sirius brandishing a fork in his face.

"Yea I have notice." He tipped the fork back down to his plate.

"Well what are we going to do?"

"Theres nothing he can do, Sirius." Remus intruded. "James has to be here so he will just have miss it. Heck he did for seven years whats one more?"

"Remus you know if anyone can find a way its me." James smirked.

"James that would be so stupid. That would kill your chances at head boy."

"Hey I still have two years left at Hogwarts."

~*~

"Class today we will be studying the art of potion remedies." a short tubby black hair woman stood in front of the class. "You will be put in pairs by myself." (grrroooan) "and will produce a remedy for the poisoned rat I will give you. If it dies by the end of class you fail!"

"Professor Dieane," a Gryffindor raised their hand, "what potion will we need to use."

"That is up to you and you books. Now lets see here... Snape and... Petigrew. Black and Clausen," a slight 'bloddy hell not her again.' came from Sirius' direction, "Yes....Lupin and Croix.... Black and Liean.... Minkly and Treavor.... Potter and Evan...." she went down the list until everyone had a pair. Everyone grabbed their book and started scanning pages.

"James I am warning you now I am terrible at potions."

"Fair I am terrible at charms. You help me with my banishing charm and I will do the potion."

"Really? Deal."

"Okay first...."

~*~

"SIRIUS!"

"WHAT?!"

"The eye of newt doesn't go in until after the pickled frog!"

"Oh... whoops."

~*~

"So what's your name again?"

"Cecil.... Cecil Trevor. My friends call me Trevor."

"Right, I'm Brook. Let start trying...this potion." she pointed to the book. Trevor just kept staring at her.

"You know you have very pretty eyes..."

"Oh God help me...this is going to be a long class."

~*~

"Alright Black get the cauldron heated."

"Get up and do it your self."

"Either you do what I say or your doing this project yourself! I am not going to let s GRIFFINDOR ruin my grade!"

~*~

"Remus, I have no clue what I am doing."

"All you have to do is look at what Snape is doing."

"Really?"

"No I am lying..."

"Oh. I knew that."

"Yes 'really' he's the best one in the class just do what he does and well be fine."

"Smart thinking there Remus."

"I know." He smirked.

~*~

"Pettigrew, you are not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer let me handle this."

"Um....okay."

~*~

"Oh my gosh that class was so stressful." Remus and Danni were waiting outside for the others.

"Oh I know." Tracy walked out with Sirius and Brook.

"Somebody needs to hex Snape." Peter followed with Lily and James.

"What did he do now?" James eyed Snape from across the hall.

"He wouldn't even let me LOOK at our potion. As far as I know he could have failed me. Lord knows he could stand a couple."

"Well we have Deviation next." Lily grabbed Brooks arm. "Bye." they started off for the tower.

"Ok well I have Ancient Ruins with Tracy."

"Yea the rest of us have Deviation to." Sirius said.

"Okay well do you guy wan to meet up for lunch?"

"Uh...James?" Sirius turned to James.

"Er...."

"I mean we could work on our potions project together."

"Well...We all do need it...Okay."

"Great see you guys at lunch!" ~*~

"Lily what are you doing?" Brook looked at the frantic Lily. "Look I don't want James hanging around me." "Why? It seem like everyone was getting along?" "I just.don't.like it okay?" "Fine whatever." "Gosh its just everything is happening to fast okay?" "Yea fine." James and the others filed in the doorway as the class began. Lily shot a glance their way that went unnoticed. "Hey Lily dearest." Sirius called from across the room. "Hi.Sirius." "See you at lunch?" "Sirius.when do we ever see each other at lunch?" "Oh didn't you hear? Danni suggested we all do our potion project together." "What?!" Lily turned to Brook who gave her nothing short of a quizzical look. "So I will see you at lunch!" After class had ended Lily made her way to meet Tracy and Danni. They were chipper chatting as they made their way down the corridor. "Danni! What is this I hear of spending lunch with the Marauders?" "Oh yea, were all going to work on our potions project. Would you care to join us?" "JOIN YOU?! Why the bloody hell would I join you? I can barley stand James in class let alone of my own free will." "Suit yourself. Were going by the lake if you change you mind." Danni and Tracy left with their usual goodbyes and headed out to the ground. Lily made her way back to the common room. Argh! I can't stand him! He's starting to get to my friends! My friends not his! Lily muttered the password under her breath. "Pardon me dear?" the Fat Lady hadn't heard her. "I SAID FLUBERGASTER!" "Well.I never!" she swung upon reveling the common room. Lily plopped down in one of the chairs. She pulled out a book from her bag. 'That a rose by any other name would smell so sweet? Deny thy father and refuse the name.' Dear god I can't read this right now. I can't even concentrate.

~*~

"Hey guys." Tracy smoothed over a piece of grass before sitting. "Hey. Where's Lily?" Sirius asked. "She." Danni began, "had prior engagements." "Ah.I see. So she couldn't stand being around the Marauders." Remus said sarcastically. "Basically." "Well it's her loss." Peter said. "Well I don't suppose all of us here would have gone over to well anyhow." Brook stated in a matter of fact way. "This is true." James pointed out. "No seriously if you put James and Lily in the same room in implodes!" "This is also true." "I so wish you two would grow up." Tracy said. "Seriously. You guys go head to head every time you see each other." "No we don't!" "Yes we do. I can tell you why too. You James Potter are a arrogant git." Lily strode in behind them. "Lily, I'm so glad you decided to join us." "Yes I'm very sure this will be interesting, Potter." "I am sure it will be, Evans." The others just glanced at each other and rolled their eyes. "Yes well lets get started, shall we?" Peter pulled out his potion book. As the minutes passed by (which seemed like hours) nobody could concentrate. "This is so boring!" Sirius slammed his book down. "How can Snape enjoy this?!" "Lord knows how his crazy mind works." Danni chimed in. "Well I say we study tomorrow and play today." -Tracy "Exactly what I say!"- James. "What you put off today will only haunt you tomorrow."- Lily. "But we have a week to do it."- Peter. "And tomorrow is Saturday."- Remus. "I say we do something fun!"- Brook. Followed by a round of 'aye's. "Alright." Lily gave, "What will we do?" "Hmm.Lily have you ever ridden a broom?" James smirked. "Er.no?" Lily looked unsure of the statement. ~*~ "JAMES POTTER GET ME DOWN!" Lily screamed from thirty feet in the air. Her hair whipping madly in her as she dangled from her broom. "Lily flying isn't that hard." Brook zoomed by on Sirius broom. "Ha you should talk. You're bloody amazing!" "What can I say I've been flying my whole life!" "How come you never tried out for Quidditch?" Remus called from below. "Eh.never really caught my fancy." She flicked her hand in the air. "I am so not going up there." Danni said. "Why not?" Remus asked. "I don't like heights." She backed up a little. "Oh common it will be alright." Sirius grabbed a broom and brought it over to her. "Oh no. Oh no no no!" Danni squirmed away from Sirius. Remus mounted the broom as Sirius picked her up and placed her behind him. "Hold on Danni. Show her how its done Moony. James do you think it's about time you helped Lily down?" "Sirius I am going to KILL you. Remus go back down!" Remus ignored her. "Yea she's been muttering profanities at you for like five minutes." "Nah. I think I'll wait a little longer." James grinned evilly. "JAMES POTTER! YOU ARE A-" Lily screeched at the top of her lungs. "Ok then again maybe not." James mounted his broom and went up to the wailing Lily. "James.get.me.down.NOW!" "Alright! Hold your horses." "I'm willing to hold anything right now!" "Well.I guess I will have to drag you back down." "Drag me?" "Yes steer the tip of your broom over here more." Lily jerked the broom a little hoping it would turn. At the slightest movement Lily reached down and embraced the it. "Okay that wont work. Get on my broom." "I AM NOT MOVING FROM THIS SPOT!" Lily growled as she clung to the broom. "Alright I have to get on your broom." James lifted himself behind Lily. She gave a small 'irk' as James pulled himself up. "Right then, shall we?" James put his arms around Lily and grabbed the tip of the broom still keeping his broom in his. Lily sat up a little and grabbed her hair around her neck. James started to go down when he spotted Remus. "Potter, what are you doing?" "I'm paying a visit to my dear friend Remus." "Oh no you don't! Take me down right now." "And what prey tell are you going to do about it?" James sniggered. "James Potter I will hex you into oblivion!" "And loose your ticket out of here? Oh well first I have a little errand to run." He turned back towards the ground. "Sirius why don't you take Tracy on a little joy ride." He tossed the extra broom to him. Again James headed in Remus' direction. Remus was flying above the Quidditch pitch, Danni clinging to his back. "Hey Remus! How are you two doing?" "Good." "That's what you think!" Danni screeched. "Hey guys!" Sirius and Tracy joined the mid air party. "Where's Brook?" Tracy looked around for her. "There she is!" Remus pointed over the lake. "Shall we pay her a visit?" "You know it Moony." Sirius sped away with muffled cries from Tracy. "After you Remus." "Oh no, ladies first!" he gestured ahead. "Quite the gentleman." Danni said. "Only for you my love." He laughed. James eyed Remus before heading off. Soon they were all over the lake flying in circles playing 'air tag' as Sirius so keenly dubbed it. "James I am so going to kill you!" Lily shrieked. "That goes for you to Remus!" "As for you Sirius.you are as good as dead." "How can you guys not like this!" Brook called. "I am having the time of my life!" Quietly they all admitted that this was the most fun they had since school began. "Remus lets go tag Lily!" Danni beckoned Remus to follow. "James don't look now." Brook sped past. James looked back to see Remus tailing them. "Sorry Lily, dear, we got to shake them!" James pulled into an overly dramatic dive. Lily screamed as she grabbed James' for arms to steady herself. Remus followed as Danni's grip tightened around his waist and squealed into his robes. "Tag!" Danni reached out far enough to touch Lily's robes. "JAMES!" James looked over to see Peter waving madly. "Oh shoot we forgot about Peter!" everyone ,slowly on the girls demands, landed on the ground. "Where in the BLOODY HELL have you been!" Peter scolded. "We just had a bit of fun." Sirius replied. "Don't be sore at us Peter." Danni dismounted. "We didn't mean to leave you out." Lily pleaded. "Tell you what Wormtail we'll make it up to you." James added. "We all will." Brook said as the others nodded. "We promise." Tracy punched Sirius who gave a little whine. "Oh well thanks guys." Peter gave a little shocked look. "But what I was going to say is class started five minutes ago!" "Oh merde!" Lily grabbed her books and ran up to the castle. "Well were already out of class anyway." Danni casually grabbed her books in no hurry to get to class. "Peter," James said. "You don't expect us to do all of that for you, do you?" "Oh yes James. Every one of you!" he gave a small grin and they all headed to class.
