Hey! Sorry that I didn't update for a while. If I get more reviews.maybe I'll update quicker!!

Disclaimer: own nothing, nadda, zip. You know the whole ordeal.

(two years later.would that be 3rd or 2nd year? I'm going with third and if it's not, pretend)

Lily and Stephanie walked into the Great Hall with their friends Monica, Claire, and Katie. They couldn't believe that they were already at their 3rd year. Everything went by so fast! They were a whirl of talk and gossip. The train ride to Hogwarts wasn't enough time for them to catch up and make plans for the year.

"Lily, Stephanie, Monny, Claire, Katie! Over here!" came a voice above the dull roar of the Hall. They all looked down the Gryffindor table to see Adam standing on the bench waving them over to sit with what looked like more of their friends that decided to take the first train.

Hogwarts was getting so big that they needed two trains to take everyone there. Still Lily and her friends were amazed at how many people were there and had to squeeze through people just to get to their seat.

"Finally, the royal highnesses decided to come and grace us with their presence," joked Nate. Claire went and quickly kissed him. Claire was petite, with blue-black hair cut just below her shoulders. Her black eyes sparkled even in the Hall. Nate was a 6'3'' american and played football, so was pretty husky. He also had black hair but somewhat black-blue eyes that laughed.

"Hey Lil don't I get a kiss hello?" Lily turned to her boyfriend Greg. Greg was the smartest one in their class next to Lily. He had sandy blond hair and bright blue eyes. She smiled and quickly pecked him on the cheek.

"Awwwwwww, that's all?" he pouted.

"There's more where that came from later," she stated closing the subject.

"Make-out session in one of their rooms, better watch out you guys!" came a comment from another friend and they all burst out laughing.

Stephanie sat down next to Lily and started talking to Joseph about Quidditch. Lily watched and listened to parts of everyone's conversations from Greg's lap. She smiled, she liked being the popular crowd. They were the one's always getting good grades, but yet beautiful in every way. The commotion didn't die down until Dumbledore stood up and raised his hand.

"Welcome back to Hogwarts. It's so good to see old faces and now some new ones all anxiously awaiting another year here. First, I would like to say that the Forbidden Forest is of course forbidden to ALL students. I would like to tell you again to not go near the Whomping Willow. There will be a Yule ball in December which will be discussed closer to that time. I hope you all have a happy and safe year. Dig in!" he said and sat down as food instantly appeared.

Lily forgot that they missed the ceremony by coming later, but she didn't mind. It was quite lengthy and boring anyway.

James wasn't listening to Dumbledore. He never did, and he could tell that Dumbledore knew that too. Sirius was explaining a prank that he just thought of, but because of the silence of the hall, and his short term memory, he was writing it all down on a piece of paper.

Dinner suddenly appeared right when Sirius was finished writing his plan. James thought about it while eating. He took great pride in his pranks, which was why most of the people in his classes knew him, but that wasn't a lot. This had to be the perfect prank, because they couldn't loose their reputation of mischief makers.

Sirius was sitting next to him having a jolly good time talking to Remus and Peter. Remus had always been a mystery to him. He always left once a month for a few days to see a sick relative. James and Sirius knew something was up and were almost there. They just needed until Remus left one more time to confirm what their hypothesis was.

"James so what do you think? Think we can pull it off?" asked Sirius like an eager puppy.

"Course, when was there a prank that we couldn't pull off?"

"Um.uh.I dunno James, ask me later. Food and thinking just don't go together."

Remus spit out his drink across the table at them. It was on accident, but it hit James and Sirius pretty good.

"Jeez Remus, what was that for?" an annoyed Sirius asked then started to clean himself up. "Oh god Remus! What do you eat? This stuff looks disgusting and it's supposed to be just Pumpkin Juice! Seriously, I think you were planning that."

They all looked up at each other and burst out laughing. This was going to be a great year they all thought in between laughs.

'This is going to be a great year' thought Lily before eating.
