A/N: So what did everyone think of the last chapter? I really hope you

to be long, just so you know..much longer than the last one, guaranteed. If
its too long, im soooo sorry. ^_^ Sometimes I just get caught up in
typing...
Chapter 9: Time for a Prank
LEPOV
Lily sat in absolute shock. She couldn't believe that Jessica really did put the Imperius Curse on him. She thought he was lying. 'He is such a sweet guy for trying to get her back.' she thought. She hugged James. "I'm sorry I didn't believe you at first, when you told me that Jessica did that to Sirius." He smiled. "It's okay." he said. "Who's turn is it? Sirius?" he said. Sirius nodded. "Uhh...James, truth or dare?" he asked. James rolled his eyes. "Dare." Sirius grinned evilly. "Okay, I dare you to make out with Lily in front of...hmm...Snivellus!!" he said. James snorted. "Fine. Who wants to come? Not too many, we'd be found out." Eventually they agreed on the Marauders and the Unknowns going. They used the Marauders Map to find out where Severus was. Lily was completely terrified. "What if he reports us?" she whispered. They spotted him on the map walking towards them. "We'll say we have no clue what he's talking about." James said, shrugging. They took a shortcut to a broom closet where Christy, Lindsey, Kaitlin, Sirius, Lupin, and Peter could all hide but see what was going on. They left the door open a crack as Snape rounded the corner. He froze and stared at them. "What do you and you Mudblood girlf-" He stopped dead and his jaw dropped as James pushed Lily against the wall and started making out with her. Lily was thoroughly shocked at how good James was at this. 'He wasn't even this good in the closet! And we had 7 minutes in there!' she thought excitedly. Snape's eyes went wide and he goggled at them. During their little snogging session, Snape seemed to come to his senses. He snorted and said, "You couldn't pay me to kiss filth like that." Lily froze, shocked. James whipped around in mid-kiss and pulled out his wand. "Verdimillious!" Snape was hit with a green light that sent him flying into the nearest door; Lily realized seconds before he hit that the door was a teacher's office. "RUN!" she yelled as Snape hit the door. As they tore out of the hallway, leaving the broom closet wide open, they heard the door open and heard McGonagall's voice asking Snape what happened. They were in the Common Room soon, breathing heavily, unable to talk. Peter almost fainted, being the chubby little prat *A/N: Had to do that, sorry.Wait, no Im not.* he was. As they caught their breath, people asked them what happened. They told them what happened. Some laughed. Some gasped. One person said,"What if McGonagall comes in here to question you guys? We're under the Veriteserum, you couldn't lie your way out of it." That realization hit them hard as the portrait swung open. McGonagall came storming into the room. "Severus Snape has just informed me he saw you eight-" she pointed at the Marauders and the Unknowns,"-running down the hallway, after Miss Evans and Mr. Potter had a kissing session, after which Mr.Potter used a spell on him. Is this true?" Lily was absolutely horrified. 'I'll try to lie, maybe the potion wore off.' she thought frantically. "N-n-no, Professor. We were having a small get-together in light of the recent win in Quidditch." McGonagall eyed them warily. 'Thank God it worked.' Lily thought. "I have my eye on you eight." she said, before stalking out of the Common Room. James breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness! I was scared the potion hadn't worn off." There was a silence, and then the whole room burst into laughter. "Y-you should have seen Snivellus's face!" Kaitlin shrieked through tears of laughter. "I was h-hoping he'd die of shock!" Sirius said, sides splitting with laughter. Lily, who was sitting next to James, finally managed to stop laughing. 'That was fun! He's such a good kisser' she thought excitedly. "I am?" James said, staring at her. She realized everyone was either laughing harder or staring at her. "D-did I just say that out loud??" she said, looking horrified. James nodded slowly, still staring at her. Then his face broke into a grin. "It's nice to know someone thinks so. Never been told that before." "I didn't mean to say that, I meant to THINK it." she said, her face turning red. "Alright, James, it's your turn." Lupin said. He was still sniggering at Lily and James. 'I can't believe I said that. Since when did I start voicing my thoughts?' she wondered. James looked around the circle. "Hmmm....Peter, truth or dare?" he said. Peter looked shocked that anyone would ask him. "Uhh...truth." "Wait! We need to give everyone more Veriteserum." Lily said. "If I could lie, he could too." They gave Peter the potion. "Ok." James said. "Which girl here do you fantasize about?" he said, smirking. Peter's eyes went wide. "C-can I have a different question?" he asked, sounding horrified. James shook his head. "Nope. Either answer the question or dance nude in front of McGonagall." He muttered a name, but no one could hear it. "What?" James said. "Britni!" he said. His face turned red and he buried his face in his hands. Britni was easily the prettiest and most popular girl in Hogwarts.The room erupted in laughter. She tried not to look too appalled, which must have been extremely hard. Lily sniggered behind her hand. She knew Britni would never go for someone like Peter.
CPOV
Christy was sitting next to Sirius when Peter answered his Truth. She buried her head in his shoulder and laughed hysterically. Sirius laughed, too, along with the whole room. She felt bad for Peter, once herself being on the recieving end of this type of ridicule, but it was pretty funny. Peter said,"Okay shut up already, I have to ask someone. Uhhh....Lindsey, truth or dare?" Lindsey stopped snorting in laughter immediately. "Truth." The room groaned. "You wimps, Gryffindors are supposed to be brave!" a third year said. Lindsey shrugged. "Truth." she repeated. "Did you enjoy giving Remus that lap dance?" he said. A few people laughed. Lindsey turned scarlet. "Uhhhh....y-yes.." she muttered, looking at the ground. Remus, who was sitting next to her, laughed nervously, as if hoping someone wouldn't ask him that question. Christy laughed. Suddenly she realized her head was still resting on Sirius's shoulder. She looked up at him and realized he was staring at her. She quickly sat up straight, cheeks tinted a light pink. Unfortunately, Lindsey saw this. "Sirius, truth or dare." she said. Sirius groaned. "Dare." he said. Christy grinned. 'So brave.' she thought sarcastically. She knew he was only choosing dare so as not to look wimpy. Lindsey grinned at Christy and glared in a friendly way. Christy immediately dropped the smile and looked scared. 'Oh she wouldn't.' she thought, though she wasn't convinced. Her best friend would do anything. "I dare you to go all the way with Christy. On her bed, not yours." Christy stood up and glared at Lindsey. "Lindsey you KNOW what I think on that subject." she said, giving her the icest death glare she could manage without bursting into tears. Zack had tried to force her to do that with him, but thankfully her magic made him not able to touch her because she was extremely mad.She also didn't believe in premarital sex. Lindsey looked horrified at what she just said. "S-sorry, I forgot." she said weakly. "Lucky you."Christy said icily.Christy felt a painful lump in her throat and tried to push it down. People were staring at Christy and Lindsey now, who were shooting angry and apologetic looks at each other. "And if anyone dares to ask me what we are talking about I'll personally rip your vocals cords out." she said. Lindsey sighed. "I dare you to kiss, on the cheek of course, any guy in the circle." Christy snorted involuntarily. Sirius rolled his eyes and pecked the guy next to him on the cheek in about half a second. He glared at Lindsey and wiped his mouth on his sleeve. "I was saving that for you." he whispered jokingly in Christy's ear. Suddenly, Christy realized something. "You still haven't asked me back out yet, idiot." she whispered with a wink. He grinned. "Christy, truth or dare." he said. He winked. "Truth." she said. "Will you go out with me? Again?" he said. He grinned wider. Christy smiled widely, too. "Duh." she said. Several girls said "Awww!" Christy grinned and hugged him, earning more "Awwwww!"s. Christy looked around the circle. "Kaitlin, truth or dare?" she said. "Dare." she said promptly. "Hmmm....I dare you to....go to one of the guy teachers in a towel with your hair wet and ask to borrow some shampoo and conditioner." Kaitlin snickered. "Okay then." She grinned and went upstairs to get a towel. She came back down with her hair really wet and a towel wrapped around her. A few guys whistled at her. She rolled her eyes. "I want the other Unknowns to come with me." she said. "Who're you asking?"a sixth year boy asked. "Uhh...Professor Vann!" she said, snickering. Their Divination teacher, a huge fraud, would probably say something stupid like 'I expected your comings, Miss Hyatt.' or something. Christy, Lindsey, and Lily giggled. They walked out of the common room, Kaitlin with some difficulty, because raising her legs up might expose something to the boys back in the common room.
KPOV
Kaitlin couldn't believe she was going to do this. "This is so funny!" she whispered to her friends. They nodded in agreement, huge smiles on their anxious faces. They finally reached Professor Vann's office, and Christy, Lily, and Lindsey hid well out of sight. Kaitlin, feeling a little scared of a possible punishment, knocked on the door and gave her friends a huge wink. She noticed Christy seemed to be using a Video Charm to video tape this with her wand. Professor Vann opened the door, looking surprised that someone would be knocking on his door at 2:00 in the morning, and even more surprised that a nearly-naked student was standing in front of him. Kaitlin thought she might've broken a rib trying not to laugh. "Can I borrow some shampoo and conditioner? I'm all out, you see." she said innocently. Professor Vann seemed to come out of his shocked state. "S-students aren't supposed to be out r-roaming the hallways at night, M-miss Hyatt." he said. 'Oh for once you didn't expect something to happen, huh?' she thought sarcastically. She smiled. "I know, but I must keep my hair in tip-top condition, you see. And I figured I should ask my FAVORITE teacher in the whole school if I could use some hair care products." She put on a huge fake grin. Professor Vann went back into his room and handed her two bottles. Kaitlin got an idea to make this dare even funnier. She 'accidentally' let her towel slip a little, showing some cleavage. "oops." she said. Professor Vann blinked a few times, went in his room, and shut the door. Christy, Lily, and lindsey burst from their hiding place, laughing silently, unable to breathe. Kaitlin leaned over, laughing. "That was hilarious!" she mouthed as they approached the common room. They stepped through and burst into loud laughter. "That..was..hilarious!" Lindsey managed to choke out before falling on the floor next to Lupin, laughing hysterically. Christy staggered over to Sirius, tears falling from her eyes in silent, unbreathable laughter. "I managed to catch it on 'video'" she said, placing her wand in the center of the circle while Kaitlin went upstairs to change. 'That was so fun.' she thought, grinning. She heard laughter. 'Christy must be showing them what happened with her wand-video.' she thought.
CPOV
Christy laughed with everyone else as her wand played back everything that had just happened. Kaitlin came back as the video was finishing up. "Okay, Kaitlin, your turn." Sirius said from Christy's right. Kaitlin grinned. "How about this be the last one, then we can play another game. Like, I Never or something." Everyone nodded in agreement. "Okay...uh..." She looked around the circle, looking for someone. "Uhh...Alice, truth or dare?" Some people looked shocked that she was asking Alice. Alice, who refused to go out with some guy named Longbottom just because she felt school was about responsibility and learning, would never choose dare. So why would Kaitlin ask her? That was no fun at all."Truth, of course." Alice said. Kaitlin grinned. "Is it true that if you didn't think so highly of school and learning that you would go out with Longbottom?" Alice flushed. "Uh..uh..y-yes.." she muttered. Christy and a few other people's eyes went wide. They never thought someone like Alice would consider dating. "Okay, let's play I Never, except we are saying stuff individually, not on teams." James said. Christy looked at her watch. 2:30 in the morning. "If someone says they never did something, and someone else did that thing, they are out of the game. We will decide something for everyone who is out to do at the end of the game." he said mischeviously. He grinned at his closest friends, who grinned back. 'That can't be a good thing.' Christy thought. "Let's start with..Christy?" James said. She shrugged. "I've never..." she thought for a minute. 'What could get alot of people out?' she thought. She grinned evilly. "I've never enjoyed a kiss." she said. "Hey!!" some people said. More than half of the circle got up, including James, Lily, Lindsey, and Lupin, who shot her dirty looks. Now there was only about 13 people left in the game. Next was Alice. "I've never had late homework." she said smugly. Christy and Sirius groaned. They got up, along with a good handful of people from the circle. Now there were about 7 people left. "I've never played Quidditch." said a first year girl. Brent and Robert, two players on the Quidditch Team, grumbled as they got up and joined the others by the wall. "I've never not been in a Muggle School." said a seventh year student. "What?" the first year said. "It means that I've been in a Muggle school before and if you haven't you have to get up and get out." he said. Three people got up, leaving the seventh year,whose name was Jason, and a third year named Maria. "I've never stayed at Hogwarts over Christmas holidays." said Maria. Jason didn't get up. "I've never gotten a package from home larger than a box of sweets." he said. Maria didn't get up, looking smug. "I've never kissed a girl." she said. Jason, amazingly, didn't get up. A few people looked shocked that he'd never been kissed, or either that or he was gay. "I'm not gay, I've just never been kissed." he said, shrugging. "I've never kissed a boy." he said. Maria threw him a dirty look before standing up. "Well, guess that makes me the winner." he said. "We have to think of something for us losers to do." Sirius said. Christy thought for a minute. "I dunno." came the reply from many people.
RPOV
Remus thought for a minute. 'What would be a really funny thing for us to do?' he thought seriously. "I have an idea!" he said suddenly. "What?" James said. "We can let him play a prank on us later on, whenever he wants." A few people grinned and nodded. "Okay, sounds good to me." James said. Nobody could think of anymore games after that, so they just milled around, talking amongst themselves. Remus walked over to Sirius, James, and Peter. "I have a really good idea, guys!" he whispered exctedly when the Unknowns had walked away, chattering excitedly. The Marauders looked at him expectantly. "When the girls" -he nodded in the Unknowns direction-"go to sleep, which they will have to eventually, we can do an old Muggle trick on them. I've heard of Muggles doing tricks on each other at summer camps, stuff like putting whipped cream around their hair, or honey around their bodies..." Sirius, James, and Peter looked excited at the thought. "We haven't played a joke on them all year." James said. "We could plant Dungbombs all around them." Sirius said. Remus smiled at the thought of Lindsey waking up with honey in her hair and the smell of dung engulfing her. "Sounds great." Sirius said. "Of course, they will probably murder us, but heck, it'll be worth it." James grinned. "Sounds great. But how are we going to get them to sleep?" he said. They sat and thought for a minute, then Remus sat up again. "We can sneak into the Potions class room, and get one of the Sleeping Potion samples, I heard he had some from a class that did them!" James and Sirius looked ecstatic at the chance to attack the girls in their sleep. Peter didn't look too happy. "Well none of them are my girlfriend, so what buisness do I have doing it?" he said sourly. Sirius rolled his eyes. "Hang on just a second."
SPOV
Sirius left the guys and walked over to Christy and her friends. "Hey Sirius!" Christy said happily. "Hi Christy!" he said with a huge grin. "I was just wondering who Kaitlin's going out with? Is she going out with that Brent guy?" Christy and Lindsey looked at him curiously while Kaitlin turned red and Lily snorted. "Yeah, she is. Why?" He smirked. "Just wondering." He made sure to "accidentally" touch Christy's hand when he got up. He went back over to his friends. "Well, if Peter isn't going to do it, let's see if we can get that Brent guy to do it. He's going out with Kaitlin." James gaped at him. "Brent on the Quidditch Team? I heard he's a jerk." he said. Sirius shrugged. "Go get him, James, I've already aroused enough suspicion." he said. He looked back over at Christy. 'I hope she doesn't murder me...or worse break up with me, we just got back together..' he thought. She looked over at him and smiled. He realized he'd been staring at her and turned away, smiling slightly. James came back with Brent in tow. Brent had short brownish hair and almond shaped eyes, and wall tall and skinny, basically the opposite of Peter. "He agreed to help us!" James said excitedly. Sirius noticed a few first and second years warily grabbing sleeping bags and looking over at the Marauders and Brent. "Okay, first me need to distract everyone from noticing we're gone." Sirius said. "We'll do that." said Remus, motioning to him and Brent. "Do you want to?" Remus said, looking over at him. He nodded his head enthusiastically. "So me and James will sneak to the dungeons, grab a sample...and how do we give it to them?" he said thoughtfully. James shrugged. "We'll figure it out when we get back." He grabbed his Invisibility Cloak from underneath a nearby table. "I figured we might be needing it." he said. Remus rummaged around in his pocket for something, and pulled out a bag. "Dungbombs." he whispered. James and Sirius pulled on the Cloak and snuck over to the portrait hole. Remus and Brent stood on the stairs to the boys dormitory. They lit the Dungbombs, threw them into the party and dashed upstairs,away from the smell and the noise. Seconds later the room erupted in foul smelling odor and gas, making people scream and cough. Sirius and James took the opportunity to sneak out without people noticing the portrait opening and closing with no one going through it. He heard Lindsey yell, "REMUS LUPIN I WILL MURDER YOU!!" Apparently she had seen him dash up the stairs. He and James walked down to the dungeons as quitely as they could.
JPOV
James tried to control his laughter. "That was pretty funny, I heard Kaitlin and Lindsey shrieking at them...they had to have seen them run up the stairs." Sirius made a funny noise, laughing and trying to keep it down at the same time. James couldn't help thinking about Lily calling him a good kisser. 'Too bad she didn't mean to say it out loud. Though it was nice to hear someone tell me that for once.' He was so absorbed in his thoughts of Lily he turned left instead of right."James! Pay attention mate!" Sirius whispered fiercly. When they reached the Potions class, they went to the storage room, looking for the samples. They searched every shelf, finally coming across a box labeled "Second Year Sample Sleep Potions-Mild." James let Sirius grab it;he didn't want to drop it, because his thoughts kept turning to Lily so often he thought he might run into a wall and smash the bottle. They quickly went back to the common room, and made it in unnoticed. Most people were curled up in sleeping bags, probably mostly first and second years. Most of the sixth and seventh years were awake, though looking sleepy. The Unknowns were over by a wall, talking amongst themselves, not looking the least bit tired. Remus and Brent were the only ones who noticed the portrait hole open;they beckoned to them from across the room. They quickly whipped the cloak off and strode quickly across the room towards Remus and Brent. "Did you get it?" Brent whispered. James and Sirius nodded. "We just need to wait for most of these people to go to sleep so that they don't go waking them up when start our prank." James said. The others nodded. James sighed and leaned against the wall, his mind on Lily Evans. 'She is so beautiful...she really cares about her friends too.' he thought, remembering what happened the year before....
***ONE YEAR EARLIER***
Lily walked down the hallway towards the Gryffindor Common Room, smiling happily at everyone....The O.W.L.s were just finished, and everyone was in a happy mood...."I'll be in the library, guys." Kaitlin said. "Why?" said Lily... Kaitlin shrugged. "Just feel like it." Christy rolled her eyes and continued walking with the others.....Lily had a bad feeling about her going there by herself...She pretended like she was going to the bathroom, and doubled around...she didn't know James was following her secretly....Lily and James heard screams, quickly silenced....Lily whipped around and almost saw James, if it hadn't been for his Invisibility Cloak she would've seen him...she strode quickly to the library....she clapped her hand to her mouth...the librarian was unconsious...Lily strode around the library, looking for Kaitlin...she quickly found her...a black haired boy was leaning over her, trying to rape her....he had put a silencing charm on her....she opened her mouth in silent screams, banging her fists on him, kicking him the best she could....Lily stepped forward....she was scared...."Stop!" she yelled, pointing her wand at the abuser... Kaitlin pulled her clothes on as quickly as she could, James watching Lily from behind a bookshelf... "Petrificus Totalus!" Lily yelled...the attacker fell to the floor, stiff....James jumped out from behind the bookshelf..."That was brave of you, Evans.." he said.... "James? James?? HELLO PRONGS!!"
James snapped back to reality. Lupin was waving a hand in front of his face. "Almost everyone is asleep...now would be a good time, yes?" he said. James shook his head as if to clear the memory from his mind. The only people awake were the Unknowns and a group of second year girls, who were yawning. James walked over to the girls. "Thirsty?" he said, grabbing a drink off a nearby table they had stocked earlier with drinks. The girls nodded. "Yeah, I guess so.." Kaitlin said with a yawn. Brent, James, Lupin, and Sirius strode over to the table, quickly added a few drops of sleeping potion, and came back. "Here you go." James said, handing the one he was holding to Lily. The girls drank from their glasses. After a few seconds,they started yawning more. Finally, the fell on each other's shoulders, sound asleep. They boys grinned at each other, and started working on their prank.
CPOV
"Sure!" Christy drank the butterbeer that Sirius gave her. She felt really drowsy all of a sudden. She yawned loudly as her head fell on Lindsey's shoulder in a deep sleep.....Hours later, she woke up. She immediately felt a really weird sensation on her face...She looked at her hand and almost screamed. There was wipped cream all over her hand. She felt her face and saw that there was whipped cream on that too. 'Those Marauders must've put whipped cream on our hands and tickled our faces!' she thought angrily. The other girls were waking up, too. They noticed their hands and faces and glared angrily around, looking for the Marauders. They were in a far corner, laughing. Christy stood up as did her friends. They screamed as cold water dumped all over them. Considiring that Lily was wearing a white t-shirt and it was ice water, this was no laughing matter. Christy screamed again as she stepped forward and hot fudge was dumped all over her. "YOU JERKS THIS WAS MY FAVORITE SHIRT!!!!" she screamed. They started to walk towards the boys, and again screamed as feathers floated all over them. With a very angry wave of her wand, Christy cleaned her and her friends off. She and the others stormed over tot he boys, wearing extremely angry faces. "IF YOU EVER....EVER DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT AGAIN!!!!!!" Christy screamed in the boy's faces. She couldn't think of anything she'd do, but thought it didn't matter because she knew quite a few curses that could do much more damage than simple minded Muggle-like pranks. The boys sniggered happily. 'Well at least they find this funny' she thought. She noticed that Brent was among their group instead of Peter. She glared angrily at them. "I can't believe you!! You're so...so....ARGH!!!!" She couldn't think of anything they were, so she just screamed. She and the girls stormed upstairs to get a change of clothing. "I can't believe they'd do that to us! We're their girlfriends for crying out loud!!" Katilin fumed, grabbing a blue shirt and jeans out of her trunk. They were still in their clothes from the previous night. "We should go to the prefects bathroom to take baths, its nice and big." Lily said. "We have to get them back." Christy said. The others nodded. They grabbed their clothes and walked back downstairs. They threw a very angry looks at the boys, who were sitting in a corner, laughing. They walked down the hallway, plotting revenges on the boys. "We should give them swirlies!!" Lily said excitedly. When the other girls looked confused, she said,"It's when you stick someone's head in a toilet and flush it." They busted out laughing at the thought of their boyfriends heads being shoved down a flushing toilet. "You wouldn't really do that, now would you?" The girls spun around, looking for the source of the voice. The Marauders, with the exception of Peter and addition of Brent, stood behind them. Sirius, the one who had spoken, smiled in fake innocence. 'Oh my gosh, he's so adorable when he does that!' Christy thought. Lily snorted. "Don't give us that innocent look crap." She rolled her eyes. Christy glared at them."You are so mean! Why'd you do that to us anyways?" she said. James stepped forward. "Ahh, we just wanted to play a joke on you. Everyone thinks the Marauders have gone soft since we have girlfriends. So we had to come back with a nice big prank on the girlfriends in question and regain our former glory. Not saying we lost any, of course.." he said, smiling playfully. "Are you stalking us?" Kaitlin asked. The Marauders exchanged knowing looks. "Well if Sirius here hadn't thought it okay to open his mouth we probably would've followed you to the bathroom and used our new invention to peer through the door." Lupin said. He pulled a tube like instrument our of his pocket. It looked like a very small telescope. "These All Seeing Eyes can see straight through solid walls, doors, or anything." Sirius said, pulling one out of his pocket. Lindsey glared at them. "You do realize how disturbing it is knowing that you could be spying on us as we dress?" she said. "Considiring you have an Invisibility Cloak, it would be all too easy..." she added. 'Oh gosh if Sirius...well actually he already has...' She was about to think 'If Sirius saw me without clothes on or anything.' but realized halfway into the thought that during her dare the previous night he had probably gotten an eyeful. "Well if you DON'T mind, we are going to get baths before breakfast. Most people shouldn't be awake now. It's only...5:00 in the morning." she said thoughtfully, looking at her watch. The boys shrugged. "Well if you REALLY want to disappoint our twisted minds like that, fine." Lupin said. They smiled before turning away and walking back down the hallway. Once they were sure the boys were gone, they continued to the prefects bathroom. Christy once again felt the feelings she had felt at the very beginning of the year, when she had had the dream about Zack....She knew she could trust Sirius so much more than Zack, but what if he ended up breaking her heart, too? If she had reacted the way she did to him being forced to break up with her, she didn't know what would happen if he idid it of his own free will. She was beginning to doubt if she should ever date again. 'But I love Sirius so much!' she thought desperately as the reached the bathroom and Kaitlin said the password. Christy felt absolutely lost and confused in her own thoughts and feelings.
LEPOV
Lily smiled at everyone as they walked in. They closed the door and locked it behind them. "I guess we could conjure up shower curtains between all of us. Give us all a little segment." Everyone nodded and they set off little sections, each of them getting a certain amount of taps. Lily liked hers;they set of a very nice smelling jet a big, bubbly blue bubbles that refused to pop.She stripped down and jumped into the big, swimming pool like bathtub. 'Lucky Lindsey.' she thought, noticing that Lindsey had sectioned off the diving board part of the tub for herself. She quickly bathed, washed her hair, and got out. The blue bubbles were slowly popping, though they didn't seem to want to. She changed into her clothes and waited for the others. Kaitlin emerged from behind the shower curtain she had put up soon after, followed closely by Christy and finally Lindsey. "Took you long enough." Lily said, rolling her eyes. She wondered if the boys were using their All Seeing Eyes right outside the door...but they didn't see anything or walk into any invisible solid objects, so unless they were hiding Lily assumed they weren't there. It was now about 5:45. Lily sighed as they entered the Gryffindor Common Room. The boys were now standing up, James rolling up a piece of parchment and sticking it in his robes. Lily suspected it was their secret map of Hogwarts that they didn't know she knew about. Sirius whispered something to the guys, and walked over by himself. "Uh, hey, could I have a word with Christy, alone?" he said to the girls. Lily smirked at Christy. "Uh oh Christy!" she said teasingly. Christy rolled her eyes, but nodded at Sirius. Lily, Kaitlin, and Lindsey walked over to a far corner and sat there by themselves, talking aimlessly about any random thing that popped into their minds as Christy and Sirius had a nice little chat on the other side of the room.
CPOV
Christy smiled. "Uh, ok, so, what did you wanna talk to me about?" she asked as he led her over to an abandoned corner, away from the Unknowns, Marauders, and the few stragglers roaming around. "Well, we haven't really gone on any dates or anything this year, and I was just wondering if you would like to go somewhere tomorrow, since it'll be Saturday and it'll be a Hogsmeade weekend?" Christy nodded. 'But what if he turns out to be like Zack? I mean I don't think he will be but...I love him so much...' She grinned happily, despite her confused interior. "Sure, I'd love to go out on a date with you!" They stood there, grinning at each other. "Great. Maybe we could go to the Room of Requirement afterwards?" he said, tipping her a huge wink. She rolled her eyes and smiled playfully. "Sure." He smiled and walked away. 'What if he tries to do that with me?' she thought, half worried and half thrilled. She walked back to her friends, feeling slightly worried, but still anticipating that weekend.

Chapter 9: Time for a Prank
LEPOV
Lily sat in absolute shock. She couldn't believe that Jessica really did put the Imperius Curse on him. She thought he was lying. 'He is such a sweet guy for trying to get her back.' she thought. She hugged James. "I'm sorry I didn't believe you at first, when you told me that Jessica did that to Sirius." He smiled. "It's okay." he said. "Who's turn is it? Sirius?" he said. Sirius nodded. "Uhh...James, truth or dare?" he asked. James rolled his eyes. "Dare." Sirius grinned evilly. "Okay, I dare you to make out with Lily in front of...hmm...Snivellus!!" he said. James snorted. "Fine. Who wants to come? Not too many, we'd be found out." Eventually they agreed on the Marauders and the Unknowns going. They used the Marauders Map to find out where Severus was. Lily was completely terrified. "What if he reports us?" she whispered. They spotted him on the map walking towards them. "We'll say we have no clue what he's talking about." James said, shrugging. They took a shortcut to a broom closet where Christy, Lindsey, Kaitlin, Sirius, Lupin, and Peter could all hide but see what was going on. They left the door open a crack as Snape rounded the corner. He froze and stared at them. "What do you and you Mudblood girlf-" He stopped dead and his jaw dropped as James pushed Lily against the wall and started making out with her. Lily was thoroughly shocked at how good James was at this. 'He wasn't even this good in the closet! And we had 7 minutes in there!' she thought excitedly. Snape's eyes went wide and he goggled at them. During their little snogging session, Snape seemed to come to his senses. He snorted and said, "You couldn't pay me to kiss filth like that." Lily froze, shocked. James whipped around in mid-kiss and pulled out his wand. "Verdimillious!" Snape was hit with a green light that sent him flying into the nearest door; Lily realized seconds before he hit that the door was a teacher's office. "RUN!" she yelled as Snape hit the door. As they tore out of the hallway, leaving the broom closet wide open, they heard the door open and heard McGonagall's voice asking Snape what happened. They were in the Common Room soon, breathing heavily, unable to talk. Peter almost fainted, being the chubby little prat *A/N: Had to do that, sorry.Wait, no Im not.* he was. As they caught their breath, people asked them what happened. They told them what happened. Some laughed. Some gasped. One person said,"What if McGonagall comes in here to question you guys? We're under the Veriteserum, you couldn't lie your way out of it." That realization hit them hard as the portrait swung open. McGonagall came storming into the room. "Severus Snape has just informed me he saw you eight-" she pointed at the Marauders and the Unknowns,"-running down the hallway, after Miss Evans and Mr. Potter had a kissing session, after which Mr.Potter used a spell on him. Is this true?" Lily was absolutely horrified. 'I'll try to lie, maybe the potion wore off.' she thought frantically. "N-n-no, Professor. We were having a small get-together in light of the recent win in Quidditch." McGonagall eyed them warily. 'Thank God it worked.' Lily thought. "I have my eye on you eight." she said, before stalking out of the Common Room. James breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness! I was scared the potion hadn't worn off." There was a silence, and then the whole room burst into laughter. "Y-you should have seen Snivellus's face!" Kaitlin shrieked through tears of laughter. "I was h-hoping he'd die of shock!" Sirius said, sides splitting with laughter. Lily, who was sitting next to James, finally managed to stop laughing. 'That was fun! He's such a good kisser' she thought excitedly. "I am?" James said, staring at her. She realized everyone was either laughing harder or staring at her. "D-did I just say that out loud??" she said, looking horrified. James nodded slowly, still staring at her. Then his face broke into a grin. "It's nice to know someone thinks so. Never been told that before." "I didn't mean to say that, I meant to THINK it." she said, her face turning red. "Alright, James, it's your turn." Lupin said. He was still sniggering at Lily and James. 'I can't believe I said that. Since when did I start voicing my thoughts?' she wondered. James looked around the circle. "Hmmm....Peter, truth or dare?" he said. Peter looked shocked that anyone would ask him. "Uhh...truth." "Wait! We need to give everyone more Veriteserum." Lily said. "If I could lie, he could too." They gave Peter the potion. "Ok." James said. "Which girl here do you fantasize about?" he said, smirking. Peter's eyes went wide. "C-can I have a different question?" he asked, sounding horrified. James shook his head. "Nope. Either answer the question or dance nude in front of McGonagall." He muttered a name, but no one could hear it. "What?" James said. "Britni!" he said. His face turned red and he buried his face in his hands. Britni was easily the prettiest and most popular girl in Hogwarts.The room erupted in laughter. She tried not to look too appalled, which must have been extremely hard. Lily sniggered behind her hand. She knew Britni would never go for someone like Peter.

Christy was sitting next to Sirius when Peter answered his Truth. She buried her head in his shoulder and laughed hysterically. Sirius laughed, too, along with the whole room. She felt bad for Peter, once herself being on the recieving end of this type of ridicule, but it was pretty funny. Peter said,"Okay shut up already, I have to ask someone. Uhhh....Lindsey, truth or dare?" Lindsey stopped snorting in laughter immediately. "Truth." The room groaned. "You wimps, Gryffindors are supposed to be brave!" a third year said. Lindsey shrugged. "Truth." she repeated. "Did you enjoy giving Remus that lap dance?" he said. A few people laughed. Lindsey turned scarlet. "Uhhhh....y-yes.." she muttered, looking at the ground. Remus, who was sitting next to her, laughed nervously, as if hoping someone wouldn't ask him that question. Christy laughed. Suddenly she realized her head was still resting on Sirius's shoulder. She looked up at him and realized he was staring at her. She quickly sat up straight, cheeks tinted a light pink. Unfortunately, Lindsey saw this. "Sirius, truth or dare." she said. Sirius groaned. "Dare." he said. Christy grinned. 'So brave.' she thought sarcastically. She knew he was only choosing dare so as not to look wimpy. Lindsey grinned at Christy and glared in a friendly way. Christy immediately dropped the smile and looked scared. 'Oh she wouldn't.' she thought, though she wasn't convinced. Her best friend would do anything. "I dare you to go all the way with Christy. On her bed, not yours." Christy stood up and glared at Lindsey. "Lindsey you KNOW what I think on that subject." she said, giving her the icest death glare she could manage without bursting into tears. Zack had tried to force her to do that with him, but thankfully her magic made him not able to touch her because she was extremely mad.She also didn't believe in premarital sex. Lindsey looked horrified at what she just said. "S-sorry, I forgot." she said weakly. "Lucky you."Christy said icily.Christy felt a painful lump in her throat and tried to push it down. People were staring at Christy and Lindsey now, who were shooting angry and apologetic looks at each other. "And if anyone dares to ask me what we are talking about I'll personally rip your vocals cords out." she said. Lindsey sighed. "I dare you to kiss, on the cheek of course, any guy in the circle." Christy snorted involuntarily. Sirius rolled his eyes and pecked the guy next to him on the cheek in about half a second. He glared at Lindsey and wiped his mouth on his sleeve. "I was saving that for you." he whispered jokingly in Christy's ear. Suddenly, Christy realized something. "You still haven't asked me back out yet, idiot." she whispered with a wink. He grinned. "Christy, truth or dare." he said. He winked. "Truth." she said. "Will you go out with me? Again?" he said. He grinned wider. Christy smiled widely, too. "Duh." she said. Several girls said "Awww!" Christy grinned and hugged him, earning more "Awwwww!"s. Christy looked around the circle. "Kaitlin, truth or dare?" she said. "Dare." she said promptly. "Hmmm....I dare you to....go to one of the guy teachers in a towel with your hair wet and ask to borrow some shampoo and conditioner." Kaitlin snickered. "Okay then." She grinned and went upstairs to get a towel. She came back down with her hair really wet and a towel wrapped around her. A few guys whistled at her. She rolled her eyes. "I want the other Unknowns to come with me." she said. "Who're you asking?"a sixth year boy asked. "Uhh...Professor Vann!" she said, snickering. Their Divination teacher, a huge fraud, would probably say something stupid like 'I expected your comings, Miss Hyatt.' or something. Christy, Lindsey, and Lily giggled. They walked out of the common room, Kaitlin with some difficulty, because raising her legs up might expose something to the boys back in the common room.
KPOV
Kaitlin couldn't believe she was going to do this. "This is so funny!" she whispered to her friends. They nodded in agreement, huge smiles on their anxious faces. They finally reached Professor Vann's office, and Christy, Lily, and Lindsey hid well out of sight. Kaitlin, feeling a little scared of a possible punishment, knocked on the door and gave her friends a huge wink. She noticed Christy seemed to be using a Video Charm to video tape this with her wand. Professor Vann opened the door, looking surprised that someone would be knocking on his door at 2:00 in the morning, and even more surprised that a nearly-naked student was standing in front of him. Kaitlin thought she might've broken a rib trying not to laugh. "Can I borrow some shampoo and conditioner? I'm all out, you see." she said innocently. Professor Vann seemed to come out of his shocked state. "S-students aren't supposed to be out r-roaming the hallways at night, M-miss Hyatt." he said. 'Oh for once you didn't expect something to happen, huh?' she thought sarcastically. She smiled. "I know, but I must keep my hair in tip-top condition, you see. And I figured I should ask my FAVORITE teacher in the whole school if I could use some hair care products." She put on a huge fake grin. Professor Vann went back into his room and handed her two bottles. Kaitlin got an idea to make this dare even funnier. She 'accidentally' let her towel slip a little, showing some cleavage. "oops." she said. Professor Vann blinked a few times, went in his room, and shut the door. Christy, Lily, and lindsey burst from their hiding place, laughing silently, unable to breathe. Kaitlin leaned over, laughing. "That was hilarious!" she mouthed as they approached the common room. They stepped through and burst into loud laughter. "That..was..hilarious!" Lindsey managed to choke out before falling on the floor next to Lupin, laughing hysterically. Christy staggered over to Sirius, tears falling from her eyes in silent, unbreathable laughter. "I managed to catch it on 'video'" she said, placing her wand in the center of the circle while Kaitlin went upstairs to change. 'That was so fun.' she thought, grinning. She heard laughter. 'Christy must be showing them what happened with her wand-video.' she thought.
CPOV
Christy laughed with everyone else as her wand played back everything that had just happened. Kaitlin came back as the video was finishing up. "Okay, Kaitlin, your turn." Sirius said from Christy's right. Kaitlin grinned. "How about this be the last one, then we can play another game. Like, I Never or something." Everyone nodded in agreement. "Okay...uh..." She looked around the circle, looking for someone. "Uhh...Alice, truth or dare?" Some people looked shocked that she was asking Alice. Alice, who refused to go out with some guy named Longbottom just because she felt school was about responsibility and learning, would never choose dare. So why would Kaitlin ask her? That was no fun at all."Truth, of course." Alice said. Kaitlin grinned. "Is it true that if you didn't think so highly of school and learning that you would go out with Longbottom?" Alice flushed. "Uh..uh..y-yes.." she muttered. Christy and a few other people's eyes went wide. They never thought someone like Alice would consider dating. "Okay, let's play I Never, except we are saying stuff individually, not on teams." James said. Christy looked at her watch. 2:30 in the morning. "If someone says they never did something, and someone else did that thing, they are out of the game. We will decide something for everyone who is out to do at the end of the game." he said mischeviously. He grinned at his closest friends, who grinned back. 'That can't be a good thing.' Christy thought. "Let's start with..Christy?" James said. She shrugged. "I've never..." she thought for a minute. 'What could get alot of people out?' she thought. She grinned evilly. "I've never enjoyed a kiss." she said. "Hey!!" some people said. More than half of the circle got up, including James, Lily, Lindsey, and Lupin, who shot her dirty looks. Now there was only about 13 people left in the game. Next was Alice. "I've never had late homework." she said smugly. Christy and Sirius groaned. They got up, along with a good handful of people from the circle. Now there were about 7 people left. "I've never played Quidditch." said a first year girl. Brent and Robert, two players on the Quidditch Team, grumbled as they got up and joined the others by the wall. "I've never not been in a Muggle School." said a seventh year student. "What?" the first year said. "It means that I've been in a Muggle school before and if you haven't you have to get up and get out." he said. Three people got up, leaving the seventh year,whose name was Jason, and a third year named Maria. "I've never stayed at Hogwarts over Christmas holidays." said Maria. Jason didn't get up. "I've never gotten a package from home larger than a box of sweets." he said. Maria didn't get up, looking smug. "I've never kissed a girl." she said. Jason, amazingly, didn't get up. A few people looked shocked that he'd never been kissed, or either that or he was gay. "I'm not gay, I've just never been kissed." he said, shrugging. "I've never kissed a boy." he said. Maria threw him a dirty look before standing up. "Well, guess that makes me the winner." he said. "We have to think of something for us losers to do." Sirius said. Christy thought for a minute. "I dunno." came the reply from many people.
RPOV
Remus thought for a minute. 'What would be a really funny thing for us to do?' he thought seriously. "I have an idea!" he said suddenly. "What?" James said. "We can let him play a prank on us later on, whenever he wants." A few people grinned and nodded. "Okay, sounds good to me." James said. Nobody could think of anymore games after that, so they just milled around, talking amongst themselves. Remus walked over to Sirius, James, and Peter. "I have a really good idea, guys!" he whispered exctedly when the Unknowns had walked away, chattering excitedly. The Marauders looked at him expectantly. "When the girls" -he nodded in the Unknowns direction-"go to sleep, which they will have to eventually, we can do an old Muggle trick on them. I've heard of Muggles doing tricks on each other at summer camps, stuff like putting whipped cream around their hair, or honey around their bodies..." Sirius, James, and Peter looked excited at the thought. "We haven't played a joke on them all year." James said. "We could plant Dungbombs all around them." Sirius said. Remus smiled at the thought of Lindsey waking up with honey in her hair and the smell of dung engulfing her. "Sounds great." Sirius said. "Of course, they will probably murder us, but heck, it'll be worth it." James grinned. "Sounds great. But how are we going to get them to sleep?" he said. They sat and thought for a minute, then Remus sat up again. "We can sneak into the Potions class room, and get one of the Sleeping Potion samples, I heard he had some from a class that did them!" James and Sirius looked ecstatic at the chance to attack the girls in their sleep. Peter didn't look too happy. "Well none of them are my girlfriend, so what buisness do I have doing it?" he said sourly. Sirius rolled his eyes. "Hang on just a second."
SPOV
Sirius left the guys and walked over to Christy and her friends. "Hey Sirius!" Christy said happily. "Hi Christy!" he said with a huge grin. "I was just wondering who Kaitlin's going out with? Is she going out with that Brent guy?" Christy and Lindsey looked at him curiously while Kaitlin turned red and Lily snorted. "Yeah, she is. Why?" He smirked. "Just wondering." He made sure to "accidentally" touch Christy's hand when he got up. He went back over to his friends. "Well, if Peter isn't going to do it, let's see if we can get that Brent guy to do it. He's going out with Kaitlin." James gaped at him. "Brent on the Quidditch Team? I heard he's a jerk." he said. Sirius shrugged. "Go get him, James, I've already aroused enough suspicion." he said. He looked back over at Christy. 'I hope she doesn't murder me...or worse break up with me, we just got back together..' he thought. She looked over at him and smiled. He realized he'd been staring at her and turned away, smiling slightly. James came back with Brent in tow. Brent had short brownish hair and almond shaped eyes, and wall tall and skinny, basically the opposite of Peter. "He agreed to help us!" James said excitedly. Sirius noticed a few first and second years warily grabbing sleeping bags and looking over at the Marauders and Brent. "Okay, first me need to distract everyone from noticing we're gone." Sirius said. "We'll do that." said Remus, motioning to him and Brent. "Do you want to?" Remus said, looking over at him. He nodded his head enthusiastically. "So me and James will sneak to the dungeons, grab a sample...and how do we give it to them?" he said thoughtfully. James shrugged. "We'll figure it out when we get back." He grabbed his Invisibility Cloak from underneath a nearby table. "I figured we might be needing it." he said. Remus rummaged around in his pocket for something, and pulled out a bag. "Dungbombs." he whispered. James and Sirius pulled on the Cloak and snuck over to the portrait hole. Remus and Brent stood on the stairs to the boys dormitory. They lit the Dungbombs, threw them into the party and dashed upstairs,away from the smell and the noise. Seconds later the room erupted in foul smelling odor and gas, making people scream and cough. Sirius and James took the opportunity to sneak out without people noticing the portrait opening and closing with no one going through it. He heard Lindsey yell, "REMUS LUPIN I WILL MURDER YOU!!" Apparently she had seen him dash up the stairs. He and James walked down to the dungeons as quitely as they could.
JPOV
James tried to control his laughter. "That was pretty funny, I heard Kaitlin and Lindsey shrieking at them...they had to have seen them run up the stairs." Sirius made a funny noise, laughing and trying to keep it down at the same time. James couldn't help thinking about Lily calling him a good kisser. 'Too bad she didn't mean to say it out loud. Though it was nice to hear someone tell me that for once.' He was so absorbed in his thoughts of Lily he turned left instead of right."James! Pay attention mate!" Sirius whispered fiercly. When they reached the Potions class, they went to the storage room, looking for the samples. They searched every shelf, finally coming across a box labeled "Second Year Sample Sleep Potions-Mild." James let Sirius grab it;he didn't want to drop it, because his thoughts kept turning to Lily so often he thought he might run into a wall and smash the bottle. They quickly went back to the common room, and made it in unnoticed. Most people were curled up in sleeping bags, probably mostly first and second years. Most of the sixth and seventh years were awake, though looking sleepy. The Unknowns were over by a wall, talking amongst themselves, not looking the least bit tired. Remus and Brent were the only ones who noticed the portrait hole open;they beckoned to them from across the room. They quickly whipped the cloak off and strode quickly across the room towards Remus and Brent. "Did you get it?" Brent whispered. James and Sirius nodded. "We just need to wait for most of these people to go to sleep so that they don't go waking them up when start our prank." James said. The others nodded. James sighed and leaned against the wall, his mind on Lily Evans. 'She is so beautiful...she really cares about her friends too.' he thought, remembering what happened the year before....
***ONE YEAR EARLIER***
Lily walked down the hallway towards the Gryffindor Common Room, smiling happily at everyone....The O.W.L.s were just finished, and everyone was in a happy mood...."I'll be in the library, guys." Kaitlin said. "Why?" said Lily... Kaitlin shrugged. "Just feel like it." Christy rolled her eyes and continued walking with the others.....Lily had a bad feeling about her going there by herself...She pretended like she was going to the bathroom, and doubled around...she didn't know James was following her secretly....Lily and James heard screams, quickly silenced....Lily whipped around and almost saw James, if it hadn't been for his Invisibility Cloak she would've seen him...she strode quickly to the library....she clapped her hand to her mouth...the librarian was unconsious...Lily strode around the library, looking for Kaitlin...she quickly found her...a black haired boy was leaning over her, trying to rape her....he had put a silencing charm on her....she opened her mouth in silent screams, banging her fists on him, kicking him the best she could....Lily stepped forward....she was scared...."Stop!" she yelled, pointing her wand at the abuser... Kaitlin pulled her clothes on as quickly as she could, James watching Lily from behind a bookshelf... "Petrificus Totalus!" Lily yelled...the attacker fell to the floor, stiff....James jumped out from behind the bookshelf..."That was brave of you, Evans.." he said.... "James? James?? HELLO PRONGS!!"
James snapped back to reality. Lupin was waving a hand in front of his face. "Almost everyone is asleep...now would be a good time, yes?" he said. James shook his head as if to clear the memory from his mind. The only people awake were the Unknowns and a group of second year girls, who were yawning. James walked over to the girls. "Thirsty?" he said, grabbing a drink off a nearby table they had stocked earlier with drinks. The girls nodded. "Yeah, I guess so.." Kaitlin said with a yawn. Brent, James, Lupin, and Sirius strode over to the table, quickly added a few drops of sleeping potion, and came back. "Here you go." James said, handing the one he was holding to Lily. The girls drank from their glasses. After a few seconds,they started yawning more. Finally, the fell on each other's shoulders, sound asleep. They boys grinned at each other, and started working on their prank.
CPOV
"Sure!" Christy drank the butterbeer that Sirius gave her. She felt really drowsy all of a sudden. She yawned loudly as her head fell on Lindsey's shoulder in a deep sleep.....Hours later, she woke up. She immediately felt a really weird sensation on her face...She looked at her hand and almost screamed. There was wipped cream all over her hand. She felt her face and saw that there was whipped cream on that too. 'Those Marauders must've put whipped cream on our hands and tickled our faces!' she thought angrily. The other girls were waking up, too. They noticed their hands and faces and glared angrily around, looking for the Marauders. They were in a far corner, laughing. Christy stood up as did her friends. They screamed as cold water dumped all over them. Considiring that Lily was wearing a white t-shirt and it was ice water, this was no laughing matter. Christy screamed again as she stepped forward and hot fudge was dumped all over her. "YOU JERKS THIS WAS MY FAVORITE SHIRT!!!!" she screamed. They started to walk towards the boys, and again screamed as feathers floated all over them. With a very angry wave of her wand, Christy cleaned her and her friends off. She and the others stormed over tot he boys, wearing extremely angry faces. "IF YOU EVER....EVER DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT AGAIN!!!!!!" Christy screamed in the boy's faces. She couldn't think of anything she'd do, but thought it didn't matter because she knew quite a few curses that could do much more damage than simple minded Muggle-like pranks. The boys sniggered happily. 'Well at least they find this funny' she thought. She noticed that Brent was among their group instead of Peter. She glared angrily at them. "I can't believe you!! You're so...so....ARGH!!!!" She couldn't think of anything they were, so she just screamed. She and the girls stormed upstairs to get a change of clothing. "I can't believe they'd do that to us! We're their girlfriends for crying out loud!!" Katilin fumed, grabbing a blue shirt and jeans out of her trunk. They were still in their clothes from the previous night. "We should go to the prefects bathroom to take baths, its nice and big." Lily said. "We have to get them back." Christy said. The others nodded. They grabbed their clothes and walked back downstairs. They threw a very angry looks at the boys, who were sitting in a corner, laughing. They walked down the hallway, plotting revenges on the boys. "We should give them swirlies!!" Lily said excitedly. When the other girls looked confused, she said,"It's when you stick someone's head in a toilet and flush it." They busted out laughing at the thought of their boyfriends heads being shoved down a flushing toilet. "You wouldn't really do that, now would you?" The girls spun around, looking for the source of the voice. The Marauders, with the exception of Peter and addition of Brent, stood behind them. Sirius, the one who had spoken, smiled in fake innocence. 'Oh my gosh, he's so adorable when he does that!' Christy thought. Lily snorted. "Don't give us that innocent look crap." She rolled her eyes. Christy glared at them."You are so mean! Why'd you do that to us anyways?" she said. James stepped forward. "Ahh, we just wanted to play a joke on you. Everyone thinks the Marauders have gone soft since we have girlfriends. So we had to come back with a nice big prank on the girlfriends in question and regain our former glory. Not saying we lost any, of course.." he said, smiling playfully. "Are you stalking us?" Kaitlin asked. The Marauders exchanged knowing looks. "Well if Sirius here hadn't thought it okay to open his mouth we probably would've followed you to the bathroom and used our new invention to peer through the door." Lupin said. He pulled a tube like instrument our of his pocket. It looked like a very small telescope. "These All Seeing Eyes can see straight through solid walls, doors, or anything." Sirius said, pulling one out of his pocket. Lindsey glared at them. "You do realize how disturbing it is knowing that you could be spying on us as we dress?" she said. "Considiring you have an Invisibility Cloak, it would be all too easy..." she added. 'Oh gosh if Sirius...well actually he already has...' She was about to think 'If Sirius saw me without clothes on or anything.' but realized halfway into the thought that during her dare the previous night he had probably gotten an eyeful. "Well if you DON'T mind, we are going to get baths before breakfast. Most people shouldn't be awake now. It's only...5:00 in the morning." she said thoughtfully, looking at her watch. The boys shrugged. "Well if you REALLY want to disappoint our twisted minds like that, fine." Lupin said. They smiled before turning away and walking back down the hallway. Once they were sure the boys were gone, they continued to the prefects bathroom. Christy once again felt the feelings she had felt at the very beginning of the year, when she had had the dream about Zack....She knew she could trust Sirius so much more than Zack, but what if he ended up breaking her heart, too? If she had reacted the way she did to him being forced to break up with her, she didn't know what would happen if he idid it of his own free will. She was beginning to doubt if she should ever date again. 'But I love Sirius so much!' she thought desperately as the reached the bathroom and Kaitlin said the password. Christy felt absolutely lost and confused in her own thoughts and feelings.
LEPOV
Lily smiled at everyone as they walked in. They closed the door and locked it behind them. "I guess we could conjure up shower curtains between all of us. Give us all a little segment." Everyone nodded and they set off little sections, each of them getting a certain amount of taps. Lily liked hers;they set of a very nice smelling jet a big, bubbly blue bubbles that refused to pop.She stripped down and jumped into the big, swimming pool like bathtub. 'Lucky Lindsey.' she thought, noticing that Lindsey had sectioned off the diving board part of the tub for herself. She quickly bathed, washed her hair, and got out. The blue bubbles were slowly popping, though they didn't seem to want to. She changed into her clothes and waited for the others. Kaitlin emerged from behind the shower curtain she had put up soon after, followed closely by Christy and finally Lindsey. "Took you long enough." Lily said, rolling her eyes. She wondered if the boys were using their All Seeing Eyes right outside the door...but they didn't see anything or walk into any invisible solid objects, so unless they were hiding Lily assumed they weren't there. It was now about 5:45. Lily sighed as they entered the Gryffindor Common Room. The boys were now standing up, James rolling up a piece of parchment and sticking it in his robes. Lily suspected it was their secret map of Hogwarts that they didn't know she knew about. Sirius whispered something to the guys, and walked over by himself. "Uh, hey, could I have a word with Christy, alone?" he said to the girls. Lily smirked at Christy. "Uh oh Christy!" she said teasingly. Christy rolled her eyes, but nodded at Sirius. Lily, Kaitlin, and Lindsey walked over to a far corner and sat there by themselves, talking aimlessly about any random thing that popped into their minds as Christy and Sirius had a nice little chat on the other side of the room.
CPOV
Christy smiled. "Uh, ok, so, what did you wanna talk to me about?" she asked as he led her over to an abandoned corner, away from the Unknowns, Marauders, and the few stragglers roaming around. "Well, we haven't really gone on any dates or anything this year, and I was just wondering if you would like to go somewhere tomorrow, since it'll be Saturday and it'll be a Hogsmeade weekend?" Christy nodded. 'But what if he turns out to be like Zack? I mean I don't think he will be but...I love him so much...' She grinned happily, despite her confused interior. "Sure, I'd love to go out on a date with you!" They stood there, grinning at each other. "Great. Maybe we could go to the Room of Requirement afterwards?" he said, tipping her a huge wink. She rolled her eyes and smiled playfully. "Sure." He smiled and walked away. 'What if he tries to do that with me?' she thought, half worried and half thrilled. She walked back to her friends, feeling slightly worried, but still anticipating that weekend.
