"So when am I going to get to meet Mr. Perfect?" I asked Gwen teasingly. The two of us were on our way down to breakfast.

"You guys can meet him this afternoon in the library," Gwen said blushing. We entered the great hall. I noticed that all the Marauders including Eden were already there.

"So, what are you guys doing here so early?" I had never in her life seen Eden or any of the Marauders, for that matter, up before… they had to be.

"Oh you'll see," Sirius said with a wink. It was obvious that they were going to be playing one of their infamous Marauders' pranks. I was scared to see what they had come up with now.

"Do I even want to know?" I asked with a laugh.

"I highly doubt it," said Sirius. Just then, a loud noise rang out. I looked up to see that every time one of the Slytherins tried to sit down and eat, the food would explode. Some of the food exploded in people's faces. Malfoy got an eyeful of scrambled eggs. The best of them all was Snape. His food did not explode when he picked it up. Instead, it exploded in his mouth causing him boils all over his face, lips, and mouth. Everyone in the hall was laughing, except the teachers who were trying to calm things down.

"Potter, Black, Lupin, and Pettigrew, I'd like to see the four of you in my office immediately!" Professor McGonagall said sternly.

I noticed the Marauders were not in our first class. Apparently, they were getting a stern talking to by McGonagall. I did not see the Marauders until our second class. They slipped in a half hour late, hoping that the teachers would not notice they were late. They, fortunately, were lucky and Professor Branstone just kept talking. I doubted whether an earth quake would shut him up.

After class James walked up to me as everyone was leaving the room.

"Hey, surprised you're not in detention," I asked with a smirk.

"Yeah, I will be tomorrow night and the next and… the next," James said looking disappointed that he was caught.

"I wonder how you ever got to be head boy with so many detentions."

"It's my irresistible charm," James said with a smirk.

"Irresistible to some, not all," I said cockily.

"Ohhh major diss!" Sirius said coming up behind them with Eden. Eden kind of hung back as though she really did not want to talk to me yet.

The rest of the day was pretty boring. I could not wait to meet Gwen's new boyfriend that evening. I had been wondering about him all day. Just before dinner Gwen walked up to me.

"Hey, we're all gonna meet outside instead of in the library. We don't really wanna get kicked out of the library for talking to loudly," Gwen said knowingly.

That night around seven, James, Sirius, Remus, and I made our way out to the great lake. We quickly spotted Gwen on the bank of the lake with a boy I did not recognize. He was tall with dirty blonde hair, hazel eyes, and a nice body.

"Hey guys what's up?" Gwen said as they all settled down on the ground under a large tree. "This is Daniel." Daniel smiled and waved. "Daniel this is Lily, James, Sirius, and Remus." Daniel started to say something, but he was quickly cut off by Sirius.

"So Ferdinand, is it? Have you ever been in any sort of legal trouble? Ever have a run in with—what is it muggles call them? The palice?" Daniel looked bewildered.

"Ever get detention? Huh? How are your grades? We expect the top for our Gwenny!" James said accusingly.

"Ya wanna know what pain feels like? Hurt our little Gwenny-poo and you'll wish you were dead!" Sirius said dead serious.

"Or even soul-less? We'll get you in Azkaban before you have a chance to owl your parents if you so much as look at us the wrong way." James said, "Hey! Look at me when I'm talking to you!" Daniel was now laughing so hard he could hardly breathe. Gwen was so red her head could have passed off as an apple.

"Not a word of this to anyone. No one. If word gets around that we're threatening students again we'll get atleast a week of detention! Not a word!" Sirius finished and as one he and James stood up and walked off.

"Ok then, that was awkward," Remus said with a laugh.

"Very," I said with a smile, "Don't pay any attention to them, they weren't hugged enough as children."

"Hey don't you go around spreading rumors about my mummy!" Sirius screamed as he tackled me. He and James had apparently come back. This caused us all to laugh. The six of us sat around a bit longer talking and laughing. Before long all the guys realized that they shared a common love of quidditch. Gwen and I started talking.

"So what do you think?" Gwen asked nervously.

"Well, I haven't talked to him much, but he seems great. Besides, anyone who doesn't run away when James and Sirius are harassing him is great in my book," I said with a smile. Gwen looked relieved.

Later that night, the common room was empty except for James and I. We were sitting near each other, on the floor, in front of the fire and talking. The topics eventually went from light hearted to personal.

"So how are things going with your parents?" James asked casually.

"Alright, I guess. My dad and his girlfriend are getting married, I'm not very happy about it," I said with a sigh.

"When?"

"Over the Christmas holidays," I said looking depressed.

"So your gonna go?"

"I don't really have a choice—I wish I had someone to go with," I had no idea where that came from.

"Doyouwanttogowithme?" questioned James, all in one breath, without any pauses. I had no clue what he had said.

"Um, what?" I asked, confused.

"Would you like to go with me?" James asked, nervously.

"That sounds fun," I said with a smile. Suddenly I was very aware of the fact that he was only inches from my face. We both, almost instinctively, leaned in closer. Soon, we were kissing. I felt like I would burst from happiness. I felt so safe and comfortable with him.
