'So did you guys steal their wands?' asked Ali.

'Yep. Every single one.' said Lily.

'Good. Ok, did you leave the note?'

'Of course, Ali, what kind of idiot do you think I am?' answered Bella.

'You really want to know?'

'Probably not.' agreed Bella.

'So they should be here soon. I think we're undressed enough.' said Ali.

Lily and Bella cracked up laughing.

'SHIT!' James voice came drifting down the hall.

'And here they come. Look busy.' said Lily. They all turned and sorted through clothes on their beds, looking like they were trying to figure out what they wanted to wear.

'Alicia Danielle Potter!' James marched into their rooms, and stopped suddenly when he saw that they were in their underwear.

'What is it James?'

He just stood there. Sirius and Remus came running up after him. 'Jesus Christ James what is taking so long?' said Sirius. Remus elbowed him and pointed to the girls. 'Oh.'

'What?' said Lily. 'It's not like it's anything you haven't seen before.'

'Yeah. We weren't expecting you to wake up for a while yet.' added Bella

'Umm….' said Sirius.

Ali laughed. 'Are these the same three guys who proclaimed that they were god's gift to women?'

'Why, yes Ali, I believe they are.' said Lily.

'I suppose they want their wands back?' said Bella.

'Er…yeah…' said James.

'Well you better ask nicely. That is, if any of you can form a whole sentence.' said Ali.

The three girls all started laughing. James, Sirius and Remus stood there, still staring. Remus got his senses back first. 'So… can we have our wands back now?'

Bella smiled. 'You can.' She gave Remus his wand.

'Th-thank you.' he took his wand and walked away.

'So.' said Lily cheerfully. 'Who is going to reobtain the powers of speech next?'

That happened to be Sirius. 'Yeah…my wand…can I have it?'

'Sure.' said Ali. She picked up his wand and gave it to him. On his way out he elbowed James.

'Two down, one to go.' said Bella.

Sirius's shove had gotten him back to normal…almost. Lily was holding his wand, twirling it between her fingers. 'Lily…could I please have my wand?'

'I suppose so.' she handed it over reluctantly.

He turned and ran after Sirius. Bella turned to Ali. 'So, did you get the photo?'

'Yep.' she showed them the photo of the three guys all standing there gaping. 'This is going to be prize blackmail material.'

They all turned around, smiling, and got dressed.

*                                                          *                                                                      *

'God, I can't believe they did that.' Sirius complained to his friends. 'We looked like morons.'

'Speak for yourself. I was the first one to be able to ask for my wand back.' said Remus.

'Whatever. Let's just forget this ever happened.' said James.

'I'm all for that.' agreed Sirius.

*                                                          *                                                          *

They were eating breakfast in the Great Hall when Lily, Bella and Ali came and sat down across from them.

'God, Amos Diggory is so cute.' said Lily.

'And his friend….Gilderoy Lockhart…gorgeous.' sighed Ali.

'Excuse me? Haven't you guys seen Ludo Bagman? He's amazing, AND he's a genius at quidditch.' said Bella.

'Hey look, that's the second time they've done that today.' said Lily, pointing at the Marauders, who were staring at them in shock.

'Yeah do you think they should go to Madame Pomfrey?' asked Bella.

'Maybe.'

'Hey look!' said Ali. 'There they are! Let's go flirt!' they got up and walked over to Ludo, Amos and Gilderoy.

Sirius turned to James and said 'This is a scary day.'

'Hell yeah.'

*                                                          *                                                          *

The three girls came into History of Magic looking amazingly happy, and giggling. Sirius nudged James. 'What are they so happy about?' he whispered.

'Dunno.' James whispered back. 'I'll ask.' He turned around and said, 'What happened?'

They all started giggling again. 'Tell you later.' said Ali.

Sirius turned around now. 'Tell us. Now.'

Remus and Peter had turned around now, interested. 'Well.' giggled Bella. 'We're going out with Ludo, Gilderoy and Amos.'

'WHAT?' shouted Sirius.

'Mr. Black, that's 20 points from Gryffindor. Please turn around and pay attention to the lesson.' Professor Binns said. This started more giggles from the girls.

When History of Magic was over, the Marauders went up to Bella, Ali and Lily. James said to Ali. 'Please don't tell me I'm related to someone who likes Gilderoy Lockhart.'

Ali grinned 'Ok, I won't tell you. Lily, tell James.'

'James, someone you're related to likes Gilderoy Lockhart.' said Lily.

'Noooooooooooooooooo!' he said.

Sirius decided it was his turn. 'Ali, honestly, Gilderoy Lockhart? He's horrible.'

Ali sighed.' No, he's amazing.'

Remus came in. 'Bella, seriously, Ludo Bagman?'

Bella did a sigh just like Ali's. 'He's gorgeous. And sooo good at quidditch.'

'Hello! We're all on the Gryffindor team!' said Remus.

'Now Remus, are you jealous?'

'NO!'

James thought he hadn't said anything for a while. 'Lily, really, Amos Diggory?'

'Yeah.' she said dreamily. 'Aren't I lucky?'

James rolled his eyes. 'They're the biggest group of idiots I ever saw.'

'See?' said Bella. 'They're all jealous. Let's go get lunch.'

They walked off, leaving the Marauders staring. 'We are not jealous.' shouted Sirius. They didn't seem to notice. 'I need food.'

They walked into the Great Hall, and Lily, Bella and Ali were all sitting at the Hufflepuff table. James groaned. 'I am so humiliated to be related to her.'

'Let's just not look at them' said Remus. 'It's sick and wrong.'

'Deal.' said Sirius. They ate and talked about a prank to pull on Amos, Gilderoy and Ludo. They decided to humiliate Ludo first, at dinner.

*                                                          *                                                                      *

They were all eating in the Great Hall, and Ali, Bella and Lily were at the Hufflepuff table again. 'Ready?' asked Remus.

'Yep.' came the reply from the other Marauders. They got out their wands, pointed them at Ludo, and muttered a few words. He turned bright pink, all over. Skin, hair, clothes, everything. Bella glared at the Marauders, who were laughing, their heads off, as was the rest of the school. Ludo's face went even pinker, if that was possible. Bella grabbed her wand, and turned him back to normal. They whispered some things, and started kissing madly.

Remus turned to the other Marauders. 'I think that made her like him more.'

'And like us less.' said Sirius. 'I guess the same thing would happen if we did pranks on Diggory and Lockhart.'

'Yeah.' said James. 'Damn.'

'Wait.' said Remus. 'We sound jealous. Just like they said.'

'Shit.' Sirius groaned. 'We are NOT jealous. In fact, we couldn't care less. We were just shocked by their horrible taste. Now, we never mention this again.'

'Ok.'
