'For goodness sake Sirius stop drooling over dinner,' growled lily banging her fist on the table.

'But she's so perfect.' Sighed Sirius.

'Let me be sick,' muttered James.

Harry raised an eyebrow at them.

'Don't worry,' muttered Remus, 'they're like it all the time,'

'Except we usually have Becky as referee,' laughed Katie.

'They argue like a married couple,' muttered Tyger.

'What!' they all said at once scowling.

'See,' whispered Remus yawning.

Dumbledore's blue eyes twinkled as he stood up, 'I would like to announce the start of the phoenix challenge.'

'The what?' shouted Sirius dropping his glass.

'Thank you Mr Black, I was just getting to that.' Dumbledore smirked, 'Looks like I can still rhyme as well as joke. You know I heard a good one about the troll and the hag who,' he stopped seeing the angry glare Mcgonagal was giving him. He coughed quickly. 'Now I no you all must be wondering what the phoenix challenge is.'

'No I wanna hear that joke.' Muttered Sirius pouting.

'Well the phoenix challenge is a test of courage, bravery and intelligence' started Dumbledore.

'Rules you out Black,' hissed Snape across the room.

'Get stuffed Snape or you'll live to regret it!' growled Sirius in reply.

'Mr Black and Snape would you kindly shut up, while the headmaster is talking.'

'Now you all will be taken to different places in the forbidden forest, and given a map back to the castle.'

'What!' whimpered Peter, 'There's all sorts in their! Vampires, Trolls, Were-' he quickly shut up seeing the look Remus was giving him.

'I'm fully aware of the dangers, their will be a teacher present. If you lose your teacher I suggest you practice your screaming.'

Everyone stared at Dumbledore in shock, as Mcgonagal elbowed him.

'I mean you will be given port keys. The first one's to bring back a phoenix flame will be rewarded.'

A wave of talking broke out through the hall.

'The activity will be done in groups of five. You will be allowed to choose your own group.'

'Hermoine' whispered Harry, 'How come I've never heard about this in our time?' asked Harry.

'The phoenix challenge was band the year we're in, after a student was eaten by a troll.'

'Who?' whispered Harry.

'Pettigrew, He was stupid enough to steal its dinner, so the troll ate him whole. Took wizards ages to get him out. After that the event was considered band.'

Harry coughed and looked over to James. 'Hey James,' he shouted, 'Do you and Katie wanna come in our group?'

'Cool.' Replied James and Katie.

'Harry why do you expect I'll be in your group just like that?' growled Hermoine.

'Cause you're my best-friend,' he replied innocently.

'Tyger do you wanna be in our group,' smiled Harry at the curly haired girl.

'Of course,' smiled Tyger blushing.

'Oh no that means I'm stuck with Black,' groaned Lily.

'I'll be in your group to.' Smiled Remus, blushing behind his blond hair.

That's four then.' Lily muttered.

'Four?' asked Sirius.

'Didn't you know?' laughed Lily, 'I'm dating my Locky,' A far away expression came into Lily's eye.

'Him!' growled Sirius sounding disgusted. 'That self-centred jerk! Who can't go ten minutes with out looking in a mirror?'

Lily growled and went as red as her hair. 'You pig!' she slapped him and stormed out of the hall.

'Wait ago Sirius,' laughed James, 'You know what a temper Evan's has got.'

'Shut up James.' Muttered Sirius.

'So who's gonna be our fifth person.' Whispered Remus with a heartbroken look.

'Amber,' sighed Sirius.

'Sirius she wouldn't come with us Gryffindors. Besides she's practically in love with Snape.'

'You don't know girls like I do Remus, she's just playing hard to get.'

Remus snorted.

'Well you can talk, you like Evans!'

Remus growled standing up, 'Really Sirius you're so blind, you can't even realise what a nice person Lily is or that Ambers taken. Or that someone you knows been practically in love with you the first moment she saw you!' shouted Remus in shock.

Sirius stared, 'Who?'

'She's gonna kill me.' Muttered Remus.

'Who?' growled Sirius.

'I can't tell you.' Muttered Remus.

'Tell me!' growled Sirius.

'Nice day isn't it,' replied Remus, 'Must dash,' he laughed leaving.

Sirius turned to James, 'Who is it?'

James smirked, 'Sorry Sirius, my lips are sealed.'

'Peter?'

'S-s-sorry,' stuttered Peter, 'I'm not allowed to say.'

'Why? Because they told you not to?'

'No because I'm afraid for my life.' Squeaked Peter leaving.

'Never stopped Peter before growled Harry.

'Why won't they tell me,'

'Because there are so many girls they wouldn't know where to start.' Suggested Harry sarcastically.

'Shut up,' growled Sirius, 'You get more like James every day. Remind me to stay away from James if he has any kids. They'll be just like him; A nightmare.' Growled Sirius leaving.

'He has a temper on him,'

'He's just a bit annoyed laughed Hermoine.'

'So Hermoine who do you think likes him.'

'Boys, so clueless.'

'Is it Lilly?'

'No'

'Then please tell me!'

'You wouldn't get it, if anyone liked you Harry growled Hermoine, 'You're so clueless.'

'I take after my godfather then.'

'Yeah in more ways then one,' sighed Hermoine.

'What do you mean by that?'

'Nothing.'
