I'm sorry if the last chapter was hard to read, but I guess it was too
long. I had lots of space in my word document, but it just disappeared
after I put it up here. I tried to fix it.well, after deleting and
reloading it about 5 times, I gave up.anyways this chapter is much shorter
so I don't think I'll get the same problem this time ;-)
Again thank you so much for reading this.

Meanwhile the girls were taking advantage of the empty dormitory. After all this was a great opportunity for revenge. Lily was looking around while keeping an eye on the wooden-door. Nat and Catty on the other hand was sitting on the floor by James' four-poster, trying to open his trunk.
"Alohomora" Catty whispered pointing her wand at the big trunk. A small beam shot out of her wand and a tiny 'click' was heard.
"It worked!" Catty whispered relieved, she was afraid James had locked it with some kind of a spell.
"Come on." Nat opened the trunk, revealing a stack of clothes and some stuff they probably were going to use in pranks.
The two mischief-makers started searching through his belongings. This year they were going to be prepared (at least until the first trip to Hogsmeade) . James, Sirius and Remus loved to test their pranks on them.
"How much superglue does he need?!" Nat exclaimed holding up six tubes of strong muggle-glue.
"Maybe they are going to try to glue everyone to their seat at lunch." Lily joked.
"Lets hope not." Catty said.
"Are you done?" Nat asked. Seeing Catty nod 'yes', she took out her wand and muttered a simple curse. She smiled and closed the trunk again.
"How do we lock it?" Catty looked at Lily, she was one of the best students in Charms.
"Don't bother, he'll find out anyway." Nat said with a grin on her face.
"We better go now, before they return," Lily said and walked towards the door. She didn't want to be there when James found out what they had done.
She opened the door and peeked outside. The boys were standing by the fireplace talking. She looked at James, he was kinda cute with his hair like that. As she stood there watching them, Sirius turned around and looked in her direction. Lily froze. If he had seen her there he would probably tell the others and they would all come. She spun around and walked back through the door.
"Come on! They'll be here soon..!" She said with a bit panic in her voice. She motioned for them to come at once. And again she walked through the door, but this time she didn't stop. Nat and Catty caught up with her. They walked down the staircase talking casually about anything they could come up with, acting like nothing had happened.
Sirius turned around. He had the feeling someone were watching them. Searching briefly through the orange and red common room, he spotted Lily. She was standing by the stairs watching them. Not wanting to let her know that he had seen her, he turned his back to her again. 'Haven't they left yet? 'He thought.
"Oiy! Sirius! " Remus said waving his hand in front of Sirius' eyes, "Are you there?"
"No, I'm on the moon," he joked.
"I asked you a question." Remus said lowering his hand.
"You did?"
In response James rolled his eyes, "And you're supposed to be a bright student?" Sirius swatted him playfully.
"What time is it?" he asked, changing the subject.
"uhm." James pulled back his sleeve revealing a brown leather watch, "It's 10:25 PM.why? Getting sleepy? "
"A bit.." he said stifling a yawn.
"I wouldn't mind curling up in a nice and warm bed," Remus said with a sheepish-grin on his face.
"I know you wouldn't, lazy.." James teased.
"If I'm lazy, what's Sirius?" Remus retorted and looked at Sirius.
"I'm still trying to figure out that one," James said thoughtfully and stuck out his tongue.
"Maybe I like sleeping in the mornings.." Sirius said 'hurt', trying to act offended.
"Aww.look James, you hurt his feelings.." Sirius glared at Remus, that was it. He so deserved it.
Remus noticed the glare he was getting. 'Now you've done it Remus,' he thought. Giving Sirius a small smile, he took off.
He knew Sirius was a better runner than him, but if only he got a small head-start, he could manage it. Looking back he saw Sirius catching-up.
He speed up, and ran through a group of excited first years. As he passed a boy with brownish hair standing by the couch, he got an idea. He slowed down for a moment only to grab the boy and push him towards Sirius.
Sirius managed to slow down right before crashing into the boy.
"Sorry" he said and continued chasing his friend, "Remus! Get back here, you moron,"
Sirius ran up the stairs two-at-a-time. He reached for the door, but it was locked!
He tried turning the door-knob again, hoping it wasn't really locked.
But he just had to realise it, the door was in fact locked.and there was nothing he could do to open it.
He recognised the spell immediately.
"Darn," he whispered to himself, and sat down with his back against the wall.
Remus' locking-spell was hard to defeat.
In fact, Sirius had been trying to find an easy and quick way to break it for several years now, without succeeding.
However Sirius had made himself a promise. He had to find the spells weak spot before his fourth year was over. 'You really have to hurry up, Sirius' he said to himself, 'You're in your third year now...only one year left'
The same day he made that promise, he made an other one too. He still couldn't believe why he had done that.
He couldn't risk failing. It would ruin his reputation.
'..Never.' he swore to himself.
Remus and James would tease him for the rest of their life. Not to mention the Slytherins.
