Ok so I was re-reading my story and I found out that there was still a whole chapter that had the name Amanda instead of Katie. I know for a fact that I fixed that, so I've come to the conclusion that my sister is trying to cause me to have a nervous breakdown and is aggravating me on purpose. It's all her fault! And speaking of my sister, she's starting to write fan fictions too. As much as I hate to say it, she's a good writer so you should check out her first story, it's called Love, Lies, and Friendship…The Pains of Growing Up. It's the same subject as mine, the Marauders 7th year, but it's a totally different plot and different characters and stuff like that. Her pen name is xdevilishxbrittx and you should really read her story. (she doesn't deserve me telling you all to read this stuff because she's the reason you're all so confused with the Katie/Amanda thing, but she says she'll hurt me if I don't write it.)

Ok so anyway, on with the writing…

Rebecca stopped in front of the door to Hogsmeade Potions and Co., and glanced nervously inside.

"I can't do this Sirius, I just can't. It's so humiliating."

Sirius gave her hand a comforting squeeze. "We have to, we need to know."

Rebecca took a deep breath and pushed open the door, preparing for what she expected to be one of the most embarrassing moments of her life.

She and Sirius walked around until they finally found the store clerk, a squat brown-haired witch.

"Hello, my name is Brenda. What can I help you with?" she asked cheerfully.

"Yes, umm, we need, umm, a pregnancy test potion," Sirius mumbled, looking at the floor.

Rebecca flushed scarlet as she fought the urge to run straight out the door.

Brenda smiled kindly. "No need to be embarrassed," she said kindly, patting Rebecca's hand. "I had my son during my sixth year. It was rough, but my husband and I made it through."

Rebecca relaxed a little bit, and Sirius hugged her for comfort as the store-clerk went into the back room.

She returned a few minutes later with a cup of a bright blue potion. "Here, take it now," she said, handing the cup to Rebecca. "I can help you interpret the results."

Rebecca took the cup, her hands shaking. She brought the cup up to her lips, closed her eyes for a minute, gathering her courage, and drained it in one gulp.

"Now lift up your shirt dear, and show us you're stomach."

Confused, Rebecca lifted up her shirt and stared at her stomach. After about a minute or so, a silver horizontal line appeared across it.

"That means it's negative. You're not pregnant!" the witch said happily.

Rebecca jumped into Sirius' arms, a huge wave of relief engulfing them both. Sirius squeezed her tightly, unable to express just how happy he was. He loved Rebecca with all his heart, but he definitely wasn't ready to have a baby with her.

"Here," the store-clerk said, taking down a large corked flask of bright pink liquid and handing it to Rebecca. "It's birth control potion. It'll last you about six months, and when it's done you can come back for a free refill. I love my son very much, but no teen should have to go through what I went through."

"Thanks," Sirius said gratefully, as Rebecca nodded.

They went over to the register and paid for the potion. They thanked the lady once again, said goodbye, and walked back up to the castle, filled with a happiness they hadn't felt in a long time.

"James, stop it!" Lily laughed, squirming and trying to get away. "We need to get some work done. It's already December and we haven't even started on the Christmas ball yet."

James and Lily were alone in the Head's office, for their weekly meeting. As Head Boy and Girl, they were supposed to be planning a Christmas dance for the seventh years, but because of the fight and all the other things that had happened, they hadn't even started.

"I'm sorry," he said grinning, "it's just hard for me to be alone with you, you're so beautiful."

"Nice try," Lily said, giving him a quick kiss on the lips. "But give it up, today is strictly work."

"Ok, ok," James sighed, looking disappointed.

"We can't have sex or make-out every single time we're alone together," Lily said, annoyed.

"Why not?"

"Because."

"Because why?"

"Because…because I said so that's why."

"Well I don't think that's a very good reason."

"Well I don't care what you think!"

James laughed. "Calm down, I was joking,"

Lily rolled her eyes. "Enough playing around James! We really need to get this done, the dance is on the first night of the Christmas break; we only have 21 days to plan the entire thing!"

Three uneventful weeks later, James, Sirius, Remus and Peter were sitting in the back of the Common Room, bored. James checked his watch and sighed.

"The dance starts in 10 minutes, where the hell are they?"

"I don't get how it could take three hours to get ready for a dance!" Sirius said for the hundredth time that night.

"Girls are weird," Remus said, shaking his head.

"Hey Wormtail," James said, struck by a sudden thought. "Who are you going with?"

"Oh, um, this sixth year, Alana," Peter said blushing, and looking at the floor.

"Don't be embarrassed," James said, remembering how Alana had betrayed her friends and risked losing her popularity just to help him. "She's really cool. Congratulations mate,"

Just then, Lily, Rebecca, and Katie came down the stairs. All four Marauders mouths fell open, as they spotted them. The three girls looked absolutely stunning. They were all wearing the same dress, a tight, v-neck halter that stopped just above their knees, except in different colors. Lily's was the exact color of her eyes, and her scarlet hair hung in big loose banana curls all around her face. Rebecca's was pearly white, and showed off her tan extremely well. Her hair was straight, but curling slightly in at the bottom and angled around her face, with a few odd curls here and there. Katie's dress was a pale blue like her eyes, and her hair was twisted into an elegant knot above her head, with a few loose pieces gracefully framing her face.

"Ok now close your eyes!' Lily said gleefully, snapping the guys out of their daze. "We have a surprise for you."

"Presenting…" Rebecca announced, while Katie faked a drum roll, "the new, and improved, Alana!"

Alana slowly walked down the stairs, with a nervous look on her face, and again the guys gaped. The girls had apparently given her a makeover, and whatever they had done had worked. Her dress was similar to the other three girls, except a bit looser and longer, since Alana didn't have quite the figure that they did. It was jet black, which had the effect of making her look slightly thinner and her hair seemed to be a combination of all the other girls'. It was half up half down, and the top portion was tied in an elegant knot like Katie's. The bottom part was straight and silky like Rebecca's, and the two pieces that framed her face were set in curls similar to Lily's. The make-up they had put on her accentuated her features really well, and she was wearing stilettos to make her look taller.

"Wow, you look…amazing," Peter said, stunned.

"Thanks," she said blushing, and the four girls each walked over to their dates.

As they stepped into the Great Hall, all of their eyes widened.

"Wow, you guys did a great job," Rebecca said in awe, staring around the Hall. "It looks incredible."

"Now that the Head Boy and Girl have finally decided to grace us with their presence, we can get this ball started." Professor McGonagall said curtly, striding towards them as the Hall filled with applause.

Lily and James grinned guiltily. The Head Boy and Girl traditionally opened the dance every year, which meant that because they were twenty minutes late; everybody had been standing there for twenty minutes awaiting their arrival.

The crowd parted to let them through, and James took Lily's hand and led her to the center of the dance floor. The band began to play, a slow song of course, and James wrapped his arms around Lily's waist, pulling her closer to him. Lily reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck, and they began to dance.

"It's funny," James said, grinning, "you look amazing in that dress, but I want more than anything to get you out of it."

Lily rolled her eyes and shook her head laughing. "And people actually think you've changed?"

"Oh, I have," he assured her. "Before this summer all I thought about was sex in general. Now all I think about is sex with you, there's a big difference."

"That's true," Lily said fairly. The other couples began to join in on the dance floor, and Lily noticed that many of the other guys looked awkward and nervous. Not James though, he was one of the very few who looked relaxed and actually knew what he was doing. "You're a very good dancer."

"Is there anything I'm not good at?" he said cockily.

"Sex-crazed and egotistical, what more could a girl want in a fiancée?" Lily said sarcastically, resting her head on his chest.
