Weeks tore by, and no prank or joke had been played on Amos or Michael. At first, the Marauders had all types of plans, but Embry, who was monitoring their ideas, dismissed many of the more dangerous ones. As days passed by and she heard no plans, she grew worried.
This is very unlike them. She thought for the hundredth time in the past week'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Amos and Lily's relationship was going well. He was every bit of the gentlemen she thought he would be. She felt he was perfect for her, except he had one flaw. Lily had a good sense of humor, almost enough to rival Sirius, but she was a lot quicker at making snap remarks. Although Amos made funnies (jokes) every once in awhile, it still made that part of him dull to her. She often found herself gazing at James during class and almost mentally smacked herself. Even though, Amos was oblivious to Lily staring at James, he always seemed to notice James looking at Lily. Whenever Amos would notice James nearby, he would make a show of putting his arm around Lily's shoulders and walk her to an empty classroom close by. And even if Lily found Amos's jealousy cute sometimes, sometimes she thought he made her to be more of a possession rather than a person. Whenever he led her to a classroom she obliged, but would get upset with him after the show. Then he would "make it up to her" and she would forget everything.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Michael and Brynna were not going as smoothly as their friend's relationship. At first things went off without a hitch, but in later times things changed. Unlike Amos, Michael would flirt and make offers to girls right in front of her. After they sorted that problem out, things got better again. After awhile, he got possessive and annoying, really annoying. Whenever she tried to talk with the Marauders, he would come over and threaten to break it off if she didn't stop seeing them.
This left Embry feeling very lonely for her best friends. Amos allowed Lily to talk to them if James wasn't around, and that was rare. The only time Embry was able to see Brynna and Lily was right before bed and the morning after, when they woke up (they ate at the Ravenclaw table).
After asking Remus many times if they had any plans on pranking the boys and getting many shrugs, she decided to take matter into her own hands. She missed her girls and was tired of being the only girl whenever she was with the Marauders, which was most of the time. She decided to get Brynna away from Michael first, figuring they'd be the easier couple to break up. Embry knew her friends would be upset with her later, but a girl has to do what a girl has to do.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Em, we won't be able to hang tonight, I've got to go home, my mum got sick, so I'm leaving to visit her," Remus said his lame excuse for his whereabouts on the day of the full moon. Though Embry and Remus grew very close as a couple, he still wasn't sure about telling her his secret. He knew he could trust her, and that she wouldn't run away, but he didn't want to burden his love's shoulders of the secret. For days he had been pondering to tell her the truth when the full moon came. Normally he would have gone to Lily, but as they weren't allowed to speak to one another, it was out of the question.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Remus was getting fed up with not being able to talk to Lily or Brynna. At first plans to prank Amos and Michael had been on full force, but after many had been ditched by Embry, James decided not to prank them, it would only lead to Lily hating James more than she already did. After their setback, the rest of the Marauders decided to go on with a prank, but James caught them and refused to let them do anything. The Marauders were getting tired of James not being himself, and it also seemed that the rest of Gryffindor Tower despised Amos and Michael for taking Lily and Brynna away. The Gryffindors deeply missed their favorite entertainment of Lily and James bickering. While the girls were gone, it made everyone realize how much they needed them. Without them was like a day without sun! There was no tutoring, no shoulder to cry on, and no one to just cheer you up.

Back to Embry and Remus talking!
"Okay." Embry said not looking up from her homework. She had noticed him getting paler and more frail looking over the past few days, but decided against saying anything to him.
After Remus left through the portrait, she collected her things and went to her room. For days she had been thinking of ways to get Brynna and Michael apart and now the time had arrived. Luckily for Embry, she didn't really have to do anything.
Earlier that day, she had witnessed a Hufflepuff girl go up to Michael and tell him to meet her in the Astronomy Tower at ten for "their usual fun."
It was now 9 o' clock and Embry figured Brynna would be here shortly, since Michael had to go to the Tower. Lily would be coming back later. Forty-five minutes later Brynna walked in with a frown on her face.
"What's wrong?" Embry asked.
"Oh, just Michael," Brynna said rolling her eyes, "That boy needs to get a life."
"Um, Bry, can we go for a walk? You know, since we haven't been able to talk much lately?" Embry asked hopefully.
"Em, I'd like to, but if we get caught, we'll get detentions," Brynna said disappointed, "Lily's lucky! If she weren't a prefect, she'd have so many she'd be giving Sirius a run for his money!" She whined.
"I don't think getting caught should be a problem" Embry replied with a mischievous smile. She pulled out James's invisibility cloak.
"Embry Stokes! Where did you get that?" Brynna asked, amazed.
"I borrowed it from a friend. Now, come on! Lets go!"
"Why are we going up here?" Brynna asked as they reached the Astronomy Tower.
"Be quiet! Come here!" Embry hissed, dragging Brynna over towards a corner.
"Em, what are you do-" Brynna was cut off by Embry putting her hand over her mouth. Then, suddenly, Michael appeared.
"Hello, is anyone here?" Michael asked to open air. Then the girls saw a figure appear behind him.
"Mike? Is that you?" asked a dainty voice.
"Aurelle!" Michael said in a with excitement in his voice. Then he went up to her and kissed her deeply.
Brynna gasped loudly, causing Michael to look up and ask, "Did you hear that?"
"It was probably nothing." she answered, jumping onto him hungrily. It was then, that Brynna walked out from under the cloak.
"Bry! It wasn't me, it was all her, I swear!" Michael said upon seeing Brynna. He had his hands up on his chest as if trying to say he was guilty of nothing but looking cute.
To everyone's surprise, Brynna laughed and said, "Yeah, and I'm the Queen of England! Good bye, Michael." She walked out with invisible Embry following her.
"I'm sorry you had to see that, but you had to know what was going on…" Embry said, pulling Brynna into a hug.
"Thanks Em" Brynna made a small sob
"Hey, what are friends for?" She replied, wiping Brynna's tears.
"Let's go to the kitchens, get some ice cream, and go back to our dorm. It'll be a girls' night, we'll gossip, paint toenails, do mud masks, everything!" Embry said pulling the invisibility cloak over Brynna.
"Sounds great… wait, kitchens?" Brynna asked with wide eyes.
"Yeah being a Marauder's girlfriend is wonderful thing." Embry said smiling.

Back in their Room
"When is Lily coming back?" Brynna asked, tapping her foot impatiently.
"Uh, about the same time she usually does." Embry said while she checked her clock.
"But it's already 11:30!" Brynna exclaimed, still not realizing that Embry didn't look surprised.
"Bry, like I said, that's the usual time she comes back." Embry said not looking concerned.
Brynna opened her mouth to say more, but closed it realizing how little time Embry had had with her and Lily.
It's all those boys' faults. Brynna thought bitterly.
"We've got to get her away from him." Brynna said determined.
"Yes, I know, all of Gryffindor Tower is suffering, you should see James nowadays, he's like a statue."
"Well, James is a smart guy, can't he do something to break up Amos and Lily?" Brynna asked.
"Well, all the guys were going to, but James felt that Lily would hate him more than she already does."
"Oh, well yeah, that makes sense- so it's all up to us, huh?" Brynna asked mischievously.
The girls planned until Lily came back, and went to bed.
Hopefully things go back to normal. And with that in mind, Embry fell asleep with a smile on her face.
