Chapter Three: The Third Night, Halloween, And Trouble From The Future

The next morning I awoke to the sound of the stairs moving. Someone, boys, was coming up the stairs my guess was Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs! I jumped up and ran over to Lily and woke her up and we both ran to the bathroom.

"What's wrong Virginia? Why are you still in clothes? What happened last night?"

I started to brush my hair but decided to leave it in ponytails. I saw Lily shrug and go on with her morning routine. We were brushing our teeth when we heard someone fall over and then loud whispering.

"Peter you dope they're probably up now!"

"Sorry James I tripped on a shoe."

Lily and I were laughing and trying no to make to much noise. We heard three boys leave and one humming something that sounded like "My girl."

"See gad I woke ya up? I heard them coming up the stairs. They must follow Remus up. He's a prefect so he can come up. Oh and Sirius and me are dating."

I finished getting dressed while talking and then walked from the bathroom. I heard Lily scream but I didn't stop. Sirius was sitting on my bed with another rose and some candy. I rolled my eyes and took the gifts. Placing the rose with the other of last night, and started to eat the candy. We waited for Lily ten walked down to the common room. James was putting what looked like beans down Peter's shirt while Remus was reading some book on the couch. When James noticed us he stopped and grabbed his school stuff. We then all left for the great hall together. We all talked quietly for a while Sirius running and jumping onto James' back. Peter was walking alone side of them humming some song. Remus was walking in between Lily and me.

"Lillian how was the study group last night?"

"Virginia why didn't you show up?"

"I was still on my date with Sirius last night. Must have forgot. Was Severus upset?"

"No he didn't show up last night. It was just Rem and I."

Remus had walked up to the other boys while Lily and I talked about random things all the way to the great hall. When we reached our destination we took our seat. Snape glared over to the table but turned back quickly. We ate in silence then headed to Defense Against the Dark Arts. Lily and me took seats at the front, James and Peter behind us with Remus and Sirius next to us, Snape behind them. I didn't know if the Hufflepuff's or Ravenclaw's were in the class with us. At the front there was a short girl maybe no older then twenty-one if that. She had short black hair and bright brown eyes, if brown eyes can be bright. But her voice was monotone. She was if possible as boring as Binns.

"I am professor Emily. I will be your Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher for this year."

She drowns on and on like Binns. Getting bored quickly I found myself passing notes to Lily.

((This is the part where they are passing notes. I'm not writing anything but the note writing. If it gets to confusing tell me in a review and I'll edit it! Oh and just say she kept all the notes that's why she can write what they say perfectly.))

Lillian, Boring! And Sirius just threw a not at me. Think Snape's mad? ~Virginia~

Ginny, Hey babe! Rem says hi! He's taking notes and wonders if you and Lily wanna meet him in the common room to study. This class is boring wanna have lunch with me today? ~Sirius~

Sirius, Yeah I'll ask Lily. And Lunch sounds good. Don't want to be alone with Snape he's glaring at me. DON'T DO ANYTHING TO HIM! ~Ginny~

Virginia, Yeah it's boring. Snape seems upset but it'll pass. James wants me to eat lunch with him today should I? ~Lillian~

Lillian, YES! I'm having lunch with Sirius we can double date! Oh and Rem wants us to study in the common room tonight. You in? ~Virginia~

Ginny, Why would I do anything to him? Cool meet you in the great hall. Taking a nap! ~Sirius~

Virginia, James and I have a lunch date… and the study group is great. Taking a nap for the rest of class! OUT! ~Lillian~

I folded up the two notes and lay down and took a nap. The bell waking me up, Lily and I walked out together to head to the greenhouses for Herbology. But some thing caught my eye. It was a bright light and a shatter of glass. I wanted to know what it was but shrugged it off and kept walking.

Professor Sprout had us doing stuff on the Whopping Willow in class so it was pretty cool. It went by fast. After that we walked to the great hall for lunch. I sat by Sirius, Lily by James. It went by pretty uneventful. When it came time for Transfiguration we all walked to the class. McGonagall was waiting for us, a strange sign up sheet in her hands.

"Okay everyone take your seats. Everyone knows that Quidditch season starts soon. Well as the head of Gryffindor house it is my job to make sure we have a full team. It has come to my attention that we need another chaser. Try-outs will be held this weekend for anyone who is interested in the position."

James and Sirius both looked at me and smiled. I won't lie and say I don't want to be chaser but I don't think so. Nothing much more interesting happened in class cept making plans to study with Remus, Lily, and Snape after dinner. After class we walked to the great hall to get some dinner. That's when I seen something odd. Sitting by Snape was a blond haired Slytherin. I shook it off thinking it was only Lucius Malfoy.

Halloween: ((I'm skipping a head in the year so I don't have to write out EVERYDAY! Oh and the story is written a bit different now… Since I haven't written in a while I changed style! Sorry if it's confusing!))

Halloween seems normal enough. Unless you count the fact that most people walk around dressed in scary costumes, knock on doors for candy, or throw eggs, toilet paper, and shaving cream at each other. That's what makes Halloween so Great! And well Hogwarts is no different, cept maybe the ghosts are real and most of the costumes are real. Any who that's what today is great old Halloween. Today of all days I can't help but think of my friends and family. Keeping hope alive right?

The feast is tonight and since it's a Saturday we have no classes *insert happy dance here. * Like most Saturdays up till now I've been hanging with Sirius down at the lake, today however he's still in bed. On second thought all of the Marauders are still in bed. It's almost noon what in the world did they do last night to make them so damn tired? Sitting in the common room playing chess with Lily is fun and all but come on. It's the night of tricks and treats and all out mischief and the local mischief-makers are still in bed!

Scratch earlier statement about playing chess. Lily's even better then Ron! She beat me in only 10 moves. Now I'm not saying I'm a great chess player, heavens no I hate the game, but normally it takes at least an hour for Ron to beat me. Just as Lily was setting up the board for another round the portal opens. I look up out of habit and see Remus shuffling in. He looks like he was just hit with a truck. Lily must have noticed it too cause she was on her feet and at his side in the blink of an eye.

"Remus what in the world happened to you?"

Truth be told I wasn't really worried about Remus. In fact seeing him all beat up reminded me that last night was a full moon. That's why Sirius and the boys are sleeping and why Remus looks so pale and beat up. Lily like the motherly type she can be shoved him to a chair to sit down. In those few moments I'd realized once more that Lily acts a lot like Hermione, or the opposite of that, where Hermione actually is like Lily cause Lily's older… STOP! Just confused myself there. ANYWAYS back to here and now.

"Lily really I'll be fine just tired and a bit of a stomach ache. Nothing a good nap won't cure."

Lily seemed to by that but yeah anyone would. He's a very convincing liar. I bet he could convince someone that the sky was in fact black. Lily also seems to know how to cure a stomachache, with candy. Sounds odd to me too. No sooner had Remus said that he was going to nap Lily was up the stairs. And I couldn't help but make a comment.

"That girl needs to cut back on her sugar intake."

"Yes she does."

Remus seemed cheerful again after my comment, since I probably sounded like Binns. I looked over at Remus and smiled then leaned back against the couch.

"So Remus any idea why Sirius, James, and Peter are all still in bed?"

I watched his eyes widen as he shook his head. I do love torturing him.

"Looks to me like Padfoot, Prongs, and Wormtail had a full night of keep Moony occupied so he doesn't kill himself. Wish I were good enough to turn into an animal. You're going to have to tell me all about your nights. Or help me transform into an animal. What you think I'd turn into? Probably something like a cat or a fox."

He didn't get the chance to say anything mostly cause Lily had leap down the stairs and was stuffing his mouth with a yellowish candy.

"Butterscotch. My mother used to give my sister and I pieces when we were sick. And don't bit it, suck on it until it's gone."

At that I couldn't help but break out laughing. I don't know why either. Lily and Remus both stared at me for a while before shrugging and playing a game. At this I seemed to laugh harder. That was until I was jumped on.

"Ginny my girl you have got to have the most beautiful laugh in the world."

"Please Padfoot can you sound anymore cheesy? And besides my girl Lily here has the most beautiful laugh in the world."

"Your girl!?!?!?"

At hearing Lily's voice both James and Sirius ran from the common room. Her voice in truth was dripping with venom and I'm sure she had grown horns and fangs. Once again though before anyone else said anything she was gone out of the portal after the two boys. Ever seen one of those anime things where when confused the characters blink funny. That's pretty much how Remus and I acted. We glanced at each other and jumped up following the three, who weren't hard to find cause, they were so loud. When we did find them Sirius and James were in the middle of a vocal fight with some blond kid. It was the same kid I had seen with Snape last month. Coming closer I realized that it was a Malfoy bed sadly not Lucius. It was Draco!

"Well lookie here the baby weasel came to join the mudblood and her bodyguards."

Yup it's Draco. But before I could hex him Sirius had punched him right in the nose. James, Remus, Lily, me, and Snape who I just noticed watched in shock as Sirius lifted Draco off the ground and pined him to the wall. Remember when I said Lily grew fangs and horns? Well Sirius seems to be getting red, growing horns and a pointed tail, and showing fangs. Scary.

"I don't care if you're a Malfoy or the god damn pope. If you ever and I mean EVER bad mouth my friends again I will make sure you never sit right again."

With that Sirius dropped Draco, who landed with a thump on the ground. He turned towards the great hall and stomped off with Remus and Lily close behind. James kneeled down in front of Draco and Snape seemed to have disappeared.

"I don't know who you think you are Malfoy but no one gets away with calling anyone a mudblood in front of me. Trust me kid you've just made the worst enemies you've ever had."

James patted Draco on the head, and then walked off. Like talking to him in that calm voice wasn't bad enough. Draco stared blankly at James back before turning to me.

"If you think for one minute that I'm going to give up my mission cause of a little threat from a fat-head and a mutt you're out of your mind."

"Draco I don't really care what you do around here but stay away from Lily and James. It's a fight you wont win."

Draco stood up from the ground and smiled, he's got a creepy smile, like a snake, if snakes could smile. He brushed himself off and moved to walk past me, yet stopped when his back was to me.

"I wonder how this Potter will fair against an old friend of yours."

At that he walked away almost as calm as James, cept Draco now sported a limp. I turned and headed to the great hall all the while thinking, what could he mean? And when would I find out? Truth be told I was hopping for later rather then sooner.

But as you've seen before luck isn't with me all the time and I'm afraid I was going to find out exactly what he meant a lot sooner then later!

PunkRockFaeriePrincess: So I made one mistake with the Bill and Charlie thing it really makes no difference for the story… And it's my story so Snape can be friends with who ever he wants to be friends with and so can Lily.

Fizzy-waterBaby: That would be way to odd to give her the nickname "Bug" so it was a good thought but not for this fic… maybe I'll write another fic with Ginny and have her nickname be Bug but for this one it's staying VG.
