"Transfiguration is too hard, I can't believe McGonagall gave us sooooo much homework," Crystal complained.
"You'd think she would try to favor her own house," Vanessa let out a sight.
"I wish we could smuggle house elves in to do our homework," Maya said.
Her friends had been complaining about their amount of homework for the past three minutes, but Lily stayed quiet. It was true that the teachers had assigned them loads of work, but Lily was happy to be even in Hogwarts to care.
"Hey guys," Lily turned around to see Rose behind her.
"Hey Rose, where were you?" Lily asked.
"I was just resting, our last class was very tiring," Rose took the seat on Lily's right.
"Tell me about it," Maya frowned.
"You did look a bit out of it today, something wrong?" Lily asked her voice a little worried.
Lily had a feeling that something was going on with Rose today, but wasn't sure if she should say something.
"Not really, but I'm going to the hospital wing to get some headache medicine after I eat something."
As Rose filled her plate, Lily wondered where the boys were. She somehow knew that they were up to no good and also wondered what their lunchtime surprise was. In a few seconds though she got her answer as Marlene entered the Great Hall.
"Ewwwwww," some one from the Hufflepuff table screamed, and was followed by many others.
Lily quickly turned around to see Marlene on her knees in the entrance of the Great Hall, vomiting big hairy SPIDERS.
"Oh god," Maya said in a disgusted voice.
"I just lost my appetite," Crystal winced.
"Me too," Lily said feeling nauseous, as she listened to people gagging and screaming all around the room.

Remus was on his way to the Great Hall, when he heard roars of laughter from an empty classroom nearby. Just then his three best friends Sirius, Peter, and James came out, still laughing their heads off.
"Um, Guys whats up?" Remus asked walking up to them.
"Oh not much, we just made chaos in the Great Hall," Sirius said in would be a casual tone.
"How?" Remus raised his eyebrows.
But Sirius just grinned and glanced at the door to the Great Hall. Remus started walking down the hall to see what was up and the others followed. As they got closer they heard the screams and the shrieks of the people, and opened the door to have big hairy spiders crawling out.
"What the...?" Remus said as his eyes fell on the platinum haired girl that was on the floor not too far from the door.
The whole scene was just too much; it looked like something out of a book. Some of the students were on the tables trying to avoid having thousands of spiders crawling on their feet, the others had their hands over their mouths looking as green as the slime coming out of Marlene's mouth. The teachers and the ghosts were trying to calm every one down while Peeves was flying around laughing in delight. The 4 boys decided to run for it before some one spotted them, and they didn't stop until they got to the portrait hole and in the Gryffindor common room.
"I think I cracked a few ribs trying not to laugh," Sirius said after he got enough breath to speak.
"Don't laugh, Try to look confused when every one comes back from the Great Hall and talks about what happened," James ordered them.
"Yes sir," Sirius Saluted.
"I'm serious," James said.
"No you're not, I'm Sirius."
"Sirius I really mean it, I'm really serious," James said, but then looked like he wanted to kick himself as his words played out in his head.
"Oh...right, I'm James" Sirius winked at James as if he was just given a hidden massage.
"Sirius you're just too much," Peter laughed.
"I'm not Sirius, my name's James," Sirius protested.
"Grrrr," James started growling but then caught himself and he too started laughing.
"Why are you laughing?" Sirius asked as he exchanged confused looks with Remus.
"I...don't...know..." James managed to say between his laughter.
"Really guys, you should be less obvious about being guilty for the scene in the Great Hall," a female voice said.
The boys turned around to see Lily grinning at them. With all the noise from James and Peter's laughter they must have not heard her enter the common room.
"And what makes you think that we did it?" Sirius asked.
"Hmmm, good question. It's actually pretty obvious, see you have been making each of the Slytherin's who were horrible to us pay, and Marlene wasn't exactly all buddy buddy with Peter. Other than that who else but you would do something like this?"
"OK OK we admit we are guilty," Sirius put his hands up.
"I thought so, anyways it was a good one I just wish I could have helped," Lily said.
The word helped triggered something in Remus's mind.
"Lily did Rose go to the hospital wing?" he asked.
"She said she will, but I'm not sure if she's there yet, cause I sneaked out the Great Hall while it was still a war zone-"
"Wait a sec, is something wrong with my sister?" James cut Lily off.
"Uh...well...it's not so much of an emergency, but..." Remus started uncomfortably.
"But what?" Sirius looked a bit worried too.
"She just took this...uh potion, and well...well she drank more than she should have," Remus shuffled his feet.
"Is she OK?" Sirius asked.
"What kind of potion?" James asked at the same time.
"It was just...well a dream potion, and she can't stop having the same dream over and over," Remus said still looking at his feet.
"Oh, well hope she gets better," James and Sirius were both a little embarrassed for getting worked up over nothing.
"Yeah," Remus said trying to not meet James' eyes.
Peter broke the awkward moment by suggesting a game of exploding Snap, which every one agreed to.

Rose walked into the noisy common room looking happier than she did that morning. There she quickly looked for Remus, and found him, going over his charms textbook with Peter. Rose walked over to them and asked Remus if she could talk to him in privet, giving Peter an apologetic look. They walked over to a quiet corner, and Rose gave Remus a big smile.
"Madam Pamfroy fixed the problem so I won't have anymore peeks into the future in my dreams and she gave me another potion to forget all that I saw," Rose sounded very relieved.
"Great, but are you going to tell anyone about the evil?"
"Not really, cause dad already knows, that's the reason he's been so worried lately," Rose said, "can we just forget the whole thing?"
"Alright."
"Thanks" Rose threw her arms around him, then walked away.
AN: This is where the 1^st year ends; so I'm just gonna skip a little in the next chapter.
