Chapter Three: Double Potions w/Slytherin

First of all, I would like to introduce you to Lily's friends:

By the way, I forgot to mention this, but this happens in the Marauders' seventh year.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

James: I hate Potions.

Sirius: Now, now James, do you want to sound like Jennifer Cavanaugh?

James: Um… no. I mean, she usually acts normal, but when it comes to Potions, she acts like a total weirdo.

Remus: Yeah…

*Bellatrix passes by, and throws Sirius a piece of parchment*

Bellatrix: What are you writing?

Sirius: *wants to kill her* None of your business, Bellatrix.

Bellatrix: Should I tell your father you're hanging out with the blood traitors again?

Sirius: You do know that I moved out ages ago?

Bellatrix: I know, but your father is very interested in what you do.

Sirius: Go and tell him then. I don't care.

Bellatrix: Okay. Anything else to tell him?

Sirius: No. But I want to tell you a secret.

Bellatrix: Yes?

Sirius: Do you know that your name means 'Beautiful Cereal'?

Bellatrix: It does not.

Sirius: Yes it does. Bella = "Beautiful" and Trix = "Cereal". Trix is a Muggle cereal.

Bellatrix: *looks very convinced* It is not.

Sirius: Then what does 'Trix' mean?

Bellatrix: I don't know.

Sirius: But I do. And Trix is a Muggle cereal. Your name means "Beautiful Muggle Cereal".

Bellatrix: *about to puke, she believes Sirius, yet denies it* My name is Beautiful… something, dunno what that something is.

Sirius: *grins at the look on Bellatrix's face* You don't have to believe me, Muggle Cereal, just ask Madame Pince to look up 'Trix' for you.

Bellatrix: I'll call my boyfriend Snape, and tell him that you're annoying me.

Sirius: Go on, call him.

Bellatrix: Okay.

James: Now that was weird. Is her name really 'Beautiful Cereal'?

Sirius: Yep, I double checked it, and asked your beloved Lily.

James: She's not my beloved Lily.

Sirius: *sighs* Like I believe that.

*Snape walks by and tosses James a note*

Snape: I see that you're annoying my girlfriend.

*Sirius writes a note to Snape*

Sirius: You mean I annoyed your girlfriend.

Snape: I meant Potter, you didn't do anything Black, so take your big nose out of my business.

James: I believe you meant to say, "So I'll take my big nose out of your business".

Snape: I meant what I wrote.

James: So what do you want?

Snape: I want you to

Humiliate yourself in front of the class. Beg Bellatrix to forgive you, and bribe her with presents. Be my slave for a month.

*Lily walks by, and tosses James a note*

Lily: I would like to know Potter, why you are writing to Snape.

James: Okay. Look what Snape wrote to me. *tosses her the last note Snape wrote*

Lily: Nice try, Potter.

James: No, really Evans. This isn't a prank.

Lily: *sighs* Whatever.

James: Ask him.

Lily: Fine. I believe you. Happy?

James: *looks quite sarcastic but very pleased* Yep.

*Lily continues working on her potion*

James: Evans wrote to me. Evans wrote to me. Evans wrote to me. EVANS WROTE TO ME!

Sirius: I think we got that part.

Remus: And it's about time you call her Lily. You are the only two Gryffindors who aren't on first name terms.

James: I don't care. She wrote to me.

Sirius: And then he says he never thinks about her. You're making me sick. It was three measly notes.

James: Not three measly notes, but four wonderful notes!

Sirius: I'm gonna vomit. You make me sick. Really.

*the bell rings*

Sirius pretends to clutch his heart, James was, well, daydreaming, and Remus was buried in his Defense Against the Dark Arts homework.

A/N: I think I got the 'first name terms' thing wrong, so if anybody knows how you really say it, then tell me please. If anybody wants a certain character to guest star in the next chapter, tell me that too. Now a few thanks to my reviewers; PickledFurby, No One Knows, LiLy*eVaNs*PoTTeR, my two anonymous reviewers (Someone Reading and l;kih', whoever you are), and an especially BIG thanks to Rowlingfan1, my faithful reviewer.
