CHAPTER FIVE- Charms, Red Hair, and Sirius, OH MY DISCLAIMER- I own nothing, nothing at all.

"You changed for her?" Sirius asked when him and the other marauders came back from Christmas.

"Yes, but she had no idea it was me so don't worry." James added.

"good." Peter said from across the room, "I don't ......w... want it all over school I am a rat, literally."

"That's already over school Wormtail." replied Remus lazily.

"but not one literally." Sirius said.

"okay, and what else happened over break, did you do anything I would have done." Sirius asked eagerly.

"oh yes. I hired a hooker for every day you men were gone and had a party." James said sarcasticly.

"really?" Peter asked.

"yes, really wormtail."Sirius said with disgust and threw a pillow at the short man. "What really happened?"

"well, I played chess, had a snowball fight, went to the kitchens, a lot, ahh and just hung out with Lily and Isabella." James replied.

"You hung out with Isabella, I thought she hated you." remus said, some jealousy in his voice.

"chill Remus, well she changed her mind. And she had a few good words to say about our Moony." James said, wiggling his eyebrows, making Sirius get excited and punch Remus in the back and whoop.

"Ouch, stop Padfoot. What did she say?" Remus said quietly.

"well that she finds you mysterious that's all." James grinned at his friend expectively.

"oh stop." Remus said, blushing.

"it's true, I heard it with my own two ears." Said James.

"okay." Remus said, still bright red and looking at a pillow blankly and smiling.

"oh, Moony's growing up." Sirius gushed.

"grow up yourself mate." Remus said, throwing his staring pillow at Sirius, who just laughed.

"both of you act like men and sit down!" James said, impersonating Sirius's dad.

"nice Prongs, nice." SIrius replied grinning. "oh! I found a home this last week!"

"really, how many rooms and when can i move in?" James said jokingly.

"well three rooms and actually I do want you to move in with me." Sirius replied.

"really! wow. thanks padfoot." James said,

"I am sorry Wormtail and moony, but I can only have one roommate, I need a guest room and we can't make a transforming room for you Moony because I rent and I can't tear the place apart." Sirius said sadly.

"It's alright Padfoot, I understand." Remus said

"Sure, whatever." Peter said depressed. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Hey Lily." James said as he spotted her red hair from across the library.

"Oh, hello James." Lily replied looking up from her book.

"Remus wanted me to tell you he will be here in ten minutes, Sirius just lighted his hair on fire and Remus needs to get him back."

"Okay, want to sit down?" Lily asked.

"Sure, why not." James replied.

"Well, how do you think your going to do on the Charms Report?"

"Ah, actually pretty good thanks to Jade." James answered.

"Yes, she is rather ticked that you aren't as smart as you appear to be." Lily said with a smile.

"Hey, I am. She just had too high of standards for me." James replied with a smile back to her.

"Everyone has too high of standards for you Potter." Lily answered grinning, as she ducked the paper ball flung at her head. "hey!"

"well, I didn't mean it like THAT." James said smiling.

"oh you know you did."

"whatever Evans, I must be going now, Jade wants to see me in the Common Room tonight. See you." and with a wave and a grin over his shoulder to Lily, James exited the library as a tall blonde boy walked in.

"Hey Lily, ready to start?" Remus asked.

"yep." Lily replied, her eyes still on the stop James had just left.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"So Potter, any idea on who is going to perform the spell in front of everyone?" Jade asked.

"no."

"well good, cause I am using you as a tester." Jade replied with a smirk.

"okay. WHAT?" James asked startled, he wasn't even paying attention, his mind kept creeping back to Lily and his friend in the library.

"I am going to perform our charm on you for the report." Jade answered back, very slowly as if he were retarded.

"Oh no, no." James replied, waving his arms infront of him in protest.

"Yes, I did basically this ENTIRE report on my own no thanks to you and you have no right to say who performs the charm got it? *James nodding his head at this*, good." Jade smiled now and added, "Let's practice on someone. OH, OOO, SIRIUS, COME HERE FOR A MOMENT."

"Yes Darling." Sirius said smoothly thinking this was clearly the usual from most of the girls.

"Can I perform my charm on you for practice for mine and James's charm's report?" Jade asked as sweetly as she could, with a small smile on her face to make her look innocent, Sirius ate it all up.

"why not darling." Before Sirius could do anything, Jade had her wand down and Sirius's hair was bright red with flecks of gold shimmering in it, and James laughing manically at his best friend who didn't notice anything until he saw a mirror close by and yelled running up the stairs to his dorm.

"that Jade, was excellent."

"I do have my moments."

and with that, James high tailed it up the stairs to the boys dorms to see his friend in total panic.

" JAMES! HOW DO I CHANGE IT BACK? I LIKED MY BLACK HAIR, IT WAS ELEGANT, NICE, FAB!" Sirius shouted at the still laughing James.

"THIS IS NOT FUNNY!" Sirius retorted back.

"oh, dear Padfoot, but it is." James said back, finally calming down enough to perform the counter spell.

"whew, thank the lord above I am hot again." Sirius said with a hand going elegantly to his black hair, making it fall gently over his dark eyes and a smirk flew over his face.

"You might knock down a plane with that big head of yours soon." James said.

"what's a plane?" Sirius replied.

"nothing, just something Lily always says."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Okay Lily, ready for me to perform this?" Remus asked uncertainly in a darkened corner of the library so they wouldn't be disturbed.

"yes, go do it already Remus." Lily replied.

"Okay, invisioati finir." Remus mutterd as he tapped the top of his head with his wand and in a shimmering, falling ashes like movement, he disappeared.

"Okay Remus, now, make a noise so I know where you are at." Lily said quickly.

"snap." Remus muttered near Lily's left ear and he laughed.

Lily felt a hand reach into her hair and out again then he felt a breath go past her nose as she giggled and muttered the counter curse "invisoiati fanior." and remus appeared in the middle of a headstand smiling like a lunatic, and Lily broke into giggles.

"well now, I can tell we have mastered this." Remus said with a grin, and added, "I don't think we shoudl tell anyone about our charm untill we have to, it can come into handy sometime." he grinned some more.

"I think i might just agree with you Lupin." Lily grinned back, grabbed her back and they both left for the Gryffindor common room, thinking of all the possibilities of their charm.
