"Lita, you got me in trouble. I told you not to do anything like that, and what do you do," ranted Eclipse, "You do what I told you not to do. And I'm in trouble and Lynn is going to be on my case!"

            "Sorry, Clipsy," Lita looked at her apologetically, "I can't help it. My temper tends to get the best of me,"

            "Well, I suppose it is Malfoy, and he sure can get on a persons nerves," Eclipse sighed, "But I don't see why I'm in trouble…"

            "'Cause the teacher is stupid," Lita said, "He's quitting, though. We're suppose to be getting a new teacher,"

            "A new Defense teacher, eh?" Eclipse asked, "You reckon they'll be a lot better then Marls?"

            "Clipsy, anyone's better then Marls. I mean, you just got in trouble for nothing!" Lita laughed.

            "Yes," Eclipse agreed before turning to the gargoyle, "Snickers."

            They entered as the gargoyle moved and talked all the way to Albus Dumbledore's office.         They knocked on the door and a voice inside said to come in.

            "To what pleasure do I owe this visit?" Dumbledore asked, smiling.

            "I punched Malfoy and Professor Marls sent me…" Lita said sheepishly.

            "I see," Dumbledore had a slight hint of amusement flash across his face, "And you, Eclipse?"

            "I don't know," said Eclipse, "All I did was try to speak and he got mad at me and sent me here…"

            "I see," Dumbledore smiled, "Lita, you'll get a detention, I'm sorry. Eclipse, I'll have to talk with him. Anyway, while you're here I have a question for both of you,"

            "What's that?" Lita and Eclipse asked at the same time.

            "I have a couple students that will be joining us next year but they'll going to be taught, some retaught, and I was wondering if you would like to help?"

            "What do you mean?" Lita asked.

            "You two would come in the summer and stay and help them learn it. It would cut down time with your family, I'm sorry, but it's up to you. Well, you and your parents," Dumbledore smiled.

            "Well, I'm for it!" Eclipse said automatically.

            "I suppose. My parents would need to know." said Lita with a curious look on her face.

            "Very good," Dumbledore said, still smiling, "I'll talk with your parents. You may go."

            "Okay, thanks, bye!" The two girls chimed as they left.

            "You seemed all-to-happy to agree to that so quickly…" Lita said.

            "You'd be to. My dad's going somewhere for work and I'd be stuck with just Lynn most of the summer,"

            "You're right, I would," Lita smiled slightly at her friend.

            "You know what? Remus is hot," Eclipse said, not really paying attention to what she said, as she caught a glimpse of Remus.

            "Did- you," Lita laughed, "Did you just say Remus is hot,"

            "Yes," Eclipse blushed, "Well, he is,"

            "Yeah, but Amos is much better looking," Lita said.

            "No way,"

            "Yeah,"

            "Not a chance in hell,"

            "Psh, Amos is so hotter,"

            "No, Remus,"

            "Amos,"

            "Remus,"

            "Amos!"

            "Remus!"

            "Amos!"

            "Remus!"

            "Amos!"

            "You do realize that we sound like slightly boy-crazed preps?" Eclipse raised an eyebrow.

            "Okay, no more arguing then. That's just creepy." Lita grinned.

            "Isn't it though?" Eclipse laughed.

            "Whatever, lets go to the common room," Lita said still grinning, "Race ya,"

            "You're on," Eclipse smiled and they took off. She could have sworn that before Lita rounded the corner she said something like:

            "Amos is a lot better,"

            "Whatcha doing?" Lita had decided to take up the responsibility of annoying the two marauders in the common room, James and Sirius.

            "… Sitting," James raised his eyebrows.

            "Why you doin' that?" she asked.

            "'Cause we want to," Sirius gave her an odd look.

            "Why do you want to?" she asked.

            "… 'Cause we're lazy," James said.

            "Why you lazy?" She asked.

            "Because," Sirius said.

            "Because why?"

            "Because!" James said, annoyed.

            "Because why?" she repeated.

            "Would you shut the bloody hell up already? We're trying to figure out exactly what we'll be teaching some students this summer!" Sirius snapped.

            "Temper, temper boys." Eclipse smiled.

            "Wait a minute – as in you two helping teach a couple of students transferring here this summer?" Lita asked.

            "Why yes, as a matter of fact." James blinked.

            "Me and Clipsy might be doing the same thing!" Lita then started laughing, "You two- teaching?"

            "Yes," Sirius said, "What's so funny?"

            "You two teaching," Eclipse smiled, "You two can't even stay out of trouble,"
