"Ara, I feel like doing something!" Lily told her best friend one slow, Sunday morning. It was around eight PM and it was starting to get dark. Everybody in their year (sixth) was out someplace. The Marauders had just left saying they all had "dates". Lily and Ara found it hard to believe that they ALL had dates at the SAME time and would ALL be coming back at midnight.
"Lets go to the kitchens and grab a snack. I'm not that hungry, but if you are I'll join you." Ara suggested.
"No, its okay. I'm not hungry."
That moment, the door opened and Jenna came in.
"Hi." She said shyly and went over to sit on her bed.
"Hey." Ara and Lily greeted back. "Where is everybody else?"
"Um...we got into a little...fight. The 'disowned' me." Jenna said, she sounded so much different when she didn't say "like" before every other word.
"Oh...I'm sorry that happened." Lily said.
"Nah, don't be. They were getting on my nerves anyways."
"Well do you want to hang out with us for a while? We could always use another friend." Asked Ara.
"Sure! Thanks. Let me just get changed out of this." Jenna said with disgust, pointing to her spaghetti strapped pink shirt with pink mini shorts that looked five sizes too small for her.
"Good idea." Lily chuckled. Why did Jenna pose as somebody she wasnt? Jenna had always annoyed the hell out of her, but she was willing to give her a second chance.
"Okay I'm ready." Jenna said stepping out of the bathroom. She wore some jeans that looked like they had never been used, a thin white long sleeved shirt with another blue T-shirt on top.
"Now we need to think up of a place to go." Ara laughed. She stood up and headed over to the window. Their dormitory faced the front of the school. You could see Hagrid's hut, the Forbidden Forest, the Whomping Willow, and the lake. It was a beautiful sight, especially tonight in the full moon.
Through the corner of her eye, Ara could have sworn she saw something move. She looked again and saw three boys walking along the side of the castle walls, very slowly. One boy was round and short. The other was tall with straight hair that waved easily to the side. The other boy had black messy hair and glasses. James? That meant the other two were Peter and Sirius, and Remus was probably in the shrieking shack. (Lily and Ara both knew about Remus being a werewolf. They didnt know about the rest being Animigus [sp?])
"Lily, Jenna! Come quick!" Ara beckoned her friends towards the window. They both crept over to the window and looked down.
"Hey! They aren't going to visit Remus are they?" Lily asked slowly. They weren't THAT stupid, where they?
"I don't know! Lets get down there fast! They aren't that close, and without their cloak they cant get there fast, or they'll be seen."
"Wait, wait, wait. Am I missing something here?" Jenna asked as she sat down on her bed.
"Ok, I'll make this short. Remus has a dangerous problem. People cant go near him. Peter, Sirius, and James are heading towards him. " Lily said quickly.
"He's a werewolf, isn't he?"
Lily and Ara froze and looked at each other and then nodded. "Don't tell ANYBODY! Nobody! Please!" Ara begged.
"I'd never! And what was that think about the cloak?"
"James has an invisibility cloak. He told us yesterday that he cant find it."
Jenna smiled and headed over for her trunk. She opened it and pulled out a silvery silky material, aka the INVISIBILITY CLOAK!
"Is this it?" She asked.
"Yeah! How'd you find it?" Lily asked in surprise.
"Yesterday I was walking back from the Astronomy Tower and i found this lying on the floor. I was going to find the owner today but I completely forgot about it." She explained.
"Well, lets hide under it and go see what the guys are up to." Lily said as she draped the cloak over the three girls.
They opened the door slightly and then carefully closed it, to not make any noise. There were still a lot of people in the common room, studying. Most of them were fifth or seventh years doing their N.E.W.T.S. and O.W.L.S.
Lily, Ara, and Jenna carefully walked down the steps. Right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot. The cloak was huge, and a lot of it dragged on the floor.
Step, step, step, TRIP! Lily accidentally stepped on the extra cloak that was hanging on the front. Being so silky, the cloak slipped from underneath her and she went tumbling down the stairs, visible. After the long ride down, Lily stood up and rubbed her bruised butt. She looked up the stairs and saw (well not really saw) that her friends were still invisible.
"Lily! Are you okay? You just. appeared!!" Molly Regan (aka. Molly Weasley) the head girl said as she stood up to help Lily. All of a sudden she sat back down. "Out of nowhere! I've been drinking to much buterbeer. I can feel the world falling, falling, its disappearing."
"Yeah I think I'm ok. And you are, too. You see Sirius went on a date, and it's his girlfriends birthday. But he forgot her present, so I ran down to give it to him, because I was going to wait for my friends to meet me out there anyway." Lily said a little too quickly, and then put on a fake grin. Jenna and Ara rolled their eyes. Lily sucked at lying. They took the "meet my friends outside" part as a hint to go outside.
Molly looked at Lily suspiciously. "Ok, but you know the rules, come back here before eleven."
"Ok." Lily said and waved good bye as she opened the portrait hole and stepped outside. She left the portrait open a few seconds longer than normal, just in case Ara and Jenna were getting out. She closed it slowly, to give them time.
Lily turned around and all of a sudden Jenna's and Ara's bodies appeared from inside the cloak.
"GOD! You two scared me." Lily said catching her breath.
"Sorry Lils. Can I call you Lils?" Asked Jenna.
"Sure! No prob. Now let me under there." Lily said once again draping the cloak over them.
The walk was short and uneventful for the most part. Professor McGonagald passed them on their way down, but she was not aware of that. They were carefu7ll not to step on the disappearing steps or to not bump into any suits of armor. They approached the Entrance Hall and carefully made their way down. It looked so different in the night. There was no light except for the dim torches that hung on the walls. In the dark even the smallest noises made them jump. The portraits were sound asleep in their landscapes, and didn't hear Ara curse as she stubbed her toe on the floor.
Being October, the weather was a windy and chilly. When they opened the tall oak main doors, a rush of air flew in. They got out and closed the doors in a hurry, it would look just a tad suspicious if a door opened by itself then closed.
It was about a few minutes walk to the Whomping Willow, and since they had the cloak they would make it around when the boys got there. The girls were very fast. They ran all the way towards the Whomping Willow, then stopped panting before it.
The boys were standing beside the wall, waiting for something.
"Padfoot, do you hear something?" James asked looking around.
"Nah, it's probably some animal." Sirius said, shrugging it off.
"Padfoot?" Jenna mouthed, and the two girls shrugged.
"Ok Wormtail, go." Sirius said, and in two seconds, where Peter once was stood a small grey rat. It scurried under the Whomping Willow and pressed something that looked like a bundle from far away.
The girls gasped and clapped a hand over their mouths.
"Prongs, did you hear THAT?" Sirius asked.
James nodded but said, "Like you said, It's probably just an animal."
With that, Sirius turned into a big black dog, and James turned into a stag.
"THEY'RE ANIMIGUS!" Lily whispered, trying to be as quiet as she could.
"JAMES IS A MOOSE!" Jenna said in surprise.
"No, he's a stag." Ara corrected.
"Why didn't they ever tell us?" Lily asked disappointed.
"I don't know. They didn't think we would tell, did they?"
"You think we should follow them?" Jenna asked.
"NO!" Lil and Ara said in unison.
"Let's wait for them in the common room then." Jenna suggested and the other two girls nodded in agreement. Silently and carefully, they made their way up.
They were in no hurry this time to get up, so they took their time. It was probably around ten, which meant they had one more hour before they had to be in their Common Room.
A low grumble filled the silence.
"What was that?" Ara said in alarm.
"That's my stomach!" Lily said. "Can we stop at the kitchens?"
"Sure. I could use a midnight snack." Said Jenna, shrugging
"Ten o'clock snack you mean." Ara corrected. (A/N: She has this thing with correcting people)
They crept over to the fruit bowl portrait and Lily drew her hand from the cloak to tickle the pear.
The pear giggled and grew a doorknob. Lily forced it open and climbed through, followed by Ara, and then Jenna. Jenna was at awe. The kitchens were big! The walls were lined with low cupboards (so the house elves could reach) and tiny tables and sinks. The room was about the size of two classrooms put together. It was long and narrow, with just enough space in them middle for two people to walk down next to each other without bumping into the busy houselves that were cooking.
"You've never been down before have you?" Lily asked Jenna. Jenna shook her head.
"Hello Mistress'." A little houselve squeaked, bowing.
"Hello!" The girls said.
"The food smells great!" Complimented Ara.
"Thank you, ma'am." The house elf squealed with glee.
Another house elf came up to the girls and asked, "Do yous be wanting anythings?"
"Can we have some cookies please?" Ara asked politely.
"Right away!" The elf squeaked and hurried off into the crowd of hustling house elves.
Moments later he came back, carrying a huge tray with cookies of every sort. There was chocolate chip, sugar cookie, Oatmeal Cookies, Raisin Cookies, M&M cookies, Snickerdoodles, Peanut butter chip cookies, anything! The girls gobbled the delicious cookies up, and soon found it hard to even talk.
"I think we better go up now." Lily said while rubbing her stomach.
"I dont think I can walk that far. Can't we sleep here?" Jenna asked playfully.
"Inky will be getting yous a beds if you wants!" The houselve squeaked eagerly.
The girls laughed. "That's alright, we're just going to go now so you can finish making your food.
"Okay. Bye byes mistress'! Visit soon!" Many of the houselves said, bowing, and waving good-bye.
The girls scrambled out of the kitchens and put the cloak over them. They must have spent about a good thirty or forty-five minutes in the kitchens. After about five minutes of silence, a loud laugh filled the hallway. The girls gasped in surprise and accidentally dropped the cloak.
Quickly grabbing the cloak the girls hid behind the statue of a fat man.
"Ms. Norris wants a bath?" Asked Peeves, sounding as if he was talking to a first grader.
Cats can't talk, to Peeves delight, so he took the silence as a yes.
"Okiepokie! You're going to be ALL CLEAN!" And with that he dropped a huge bucket of soapy water on Ms. Norris.
Lily, Ara, and Jenna laughed. They had been wanting to do something evil to Ms.Norris ever since she first caught them sneaking around the school in first year.
The cat yelped and ran away, but Peeves flew down and picked Ms. Norris up (A/N: No clue if ghosts can do this).
"Aww.. Ms.Norris wanna go away? No, not yet! We need to get you all dry!" Peeves said, and he began to swing Ms.Norris around by the tail extremely fast. Soon all you could see was some white fog and some crazy black thing going around in circles.
Jenna gasped. She had a special spot for animals in her heart. The girls had to admit, Peeves had gone to far.
"We can't just let him torture that poor animal!" Jenna cried. (A/N: Not the cry cry as in tears)
"HEY! PEEVES!" Ara yelled, then clapped her hand over her mouth after she realized what she had done.
Peeves suddenly stopped, sending the poor fluffy cat flying through the window and landing outside.
"Who's there?" Peeves asked mischievously.
He floated around the room.
"Students are out of bed! Maybe I should-"
He stopped talking as he spotted Ara, Lily, and Jenna hiding behind the statue.
"Would you look at that? Ickle Firsties out past bed time!"
"Actually, were in sixth year!" Jenna pointed out hesitantly.
"Ah, stop ruining my fun!" Peeves pouted.
"STUDENTS OUT OF BED, STUDENTS OUT OF BED! STUDENTS MAKING TROUBLE! THEY'RE OUT OF BED!" Peeve's voice said booming through the halls.
"Quick, take cover!" Ara whispered and the girls pulled the cloaks over their heads and crawled away.
Professor McGonagald's figure came running down the hall.
"Students out of bed? Where?"
"They're right there!" Peeves said pointing to the statue were the girls had been hiding previously.
"Peeves, there isn't anybody there!"
"There WAS!"
"Peeves how many times do i have to say to stop pulling false alarms! The Bloody Barron will be told about this!" Proffesor McGonagald scolded.
"F-fine! See if i care!" Peeves said and flew away.
After the girls were sure he was gone, Ara whispered, "That was close."
"Lets go quick." Jenna whispered back as they ran all the way up to the Gryfindor Dormitory.
Finally, they got to the Portrait of the Fat Lady.
"Snape Sucks." Lily whispered.
"Who's there? Ah it must be you kids in those stupid cloaks." The Fat Lady said as she opened the door.
The girls hopped in and ran as fast as they could (without tripping) up to their dormitories. Right before going in, the stripped the cloak off.
"That was fun!" Jenna whispered.
"We can talk now." Lily laughed.
They went inside their dormitory still laughing. The other girls where in the dormitory as well, giggling. (What's new?)
When they noticed Ara, Lily, and Jenna coming in they stopped talking and watched them. The three girls on the other hand completely ignored them, as they were still talking about their adventure.
"Should we confront them?" Ara asked.
"Yeah, lets pin 'em to the ground until they tell us!" Lily joked.
"And we can cackle evilly the whole time!" Jenna added.
"But don't you think the heads and prefects will notice if we torture them in the common room?"
"So we'll torture them in their dorm!" Lily said happily.
They laughed and kept on talking, completely ignoring the evil stares they were getting from the Dizzy Ditzs.
"Shut up Wormtail!" James whispered to Peter, who was talking to loud.
"We don't have the cloak, so we have to open and close the door really quickly, k?" James explained.
The other two nodded in agreement.
"Password?" The Fat Lady asked, who was half asleep.
"Snape sucks." Sirius said enthusiastically. (sp?)
The Fat Lady sighed and she opened the door. Hastily, the boys plunged into the Common Room.
They ran all the way to their dorm, ignoring all the surprised comments from the older students.
As soon as they were in the dorm they sank down to the grown, not noticing the three girls sitting there.
"Uhem." Lily 'coughed'.
The boys shot straight up.
"What are you three doing here. What is SHE doing here?" Sirius asked, and then pointed towards Jenna.
"You can trust here. She's our bud now." Ara said, patting Jenna on the back.
"Well...ok." Sirius said hesitantly. But he trusted Ara and Lily, so he would trust Jenna.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Lily said standing up.
"Tell you what?" James asked, trying to sound confused.
"Prongs, you know perfectly well what." Lily scolded.
"How did you-" Peter asked.
"If I'm correct, Sirius, you're Padfoot. And you," Ara said pointing to Peter, "are Wormtail."
"How do you know?" James asked.
"Well, you did a horrible job disguising yourselves tonight, let me just tell you that."
"We didn't have the cloak!" Sirius said, defending himself.
"Don't leave it in the Astronomy Tower then!" Jenna said, as she tossed the cloak to James.
James muttered thanks and tossed it in his trunk.
"Why didn't you tell us? Did you think we would tell Dumbledore or something?" Lily asked again, this time her voice was sad.
"I don't know. I'm sorry, Ara, Lils." Sirius said, seriously! (A/N: *ducks tomatoes* Don't kill me for using it!)
"It's ok." Ara shrugged.
"We can really trust you, right?" James asked Jenna.
"Yeah! Of coarse! I'm not with the other girls anymore."
"Good. If you don't mind..." James said, pointing to the doors. His voice was a lot less serious now.
The girls gave a short laugh, and Lily shoved James playfully.
"Hey! That hurt!" James whined, then shoved Lily back.
"MEANIE!" Lily pouted (playfully of coarse) and shoved him back, this time he fell on the ground. She stuck her tongue out at him and ran out the door.
As soon as the girls where out, Sirius grew an evil grin.
"What?" James asked Sirius as he got up.
"You like Lils, dont you?"
"What? Of coarse not! I dont even know her that well!" James said, blushing a tiny bit.
"Whatever." Sirius yawned and ot into bed. Without changing.
"Nighty night." James said.
"Nighty night." The other two boys replied.
Musicizdabest- Thanks! Yeah the plot has been done before, I know. But its a little hard to come up with a new one when there are like a billion of them out there. lol.

"Quick, take cover!" Ara whispered and the girls pulled the cloaks over their heads and crawled away.
Professor McGonagald's figure came running down the hall.
"Students out of bed? Where?"
"They're right there!" Peeves said pointing to the statue were the girls had been hiding previously.
"Peeves, there isn't anybody there!"
"There WAS!"
"Peeves how many times do i have to say to stop pulling false alarms! The Bloody Barron will be told about this!" Proffesor McGonagald scolded.
"F-fine! See if i care!" Peeves said and flew away.
After the girls were sure he was gone, Ara whispered, "That was close."
"Lets go quick." Jenna whispered back as they ran all the way up to the Gryfindor Dormitory.
Finally, they got to the Portrait of the Fat Lady.
"Snape Sucks." Lily whispered.
"Who's there? Ah it must be you kids in those stupid cloaks." The Fat Lady said as she opened the door.
The girls hopped in and ran as fast as they could (without tripping) up to their dormitories. Right before going in, the stripped the cloak off.
"That was fun!" Jenna whispered.
"We can talk now." Lily laughed.
They went inside their dormitory still laughing. The other girls where in the dormitory as well, giggling. (What's new?)
When they noticed Ara, Lily, and Jenna coming in they stopped talking and watched them. The three girls on the other hand completely ignored them, as they were still talking about their adventure.
"Should we confront them?" Ara asked.
"Yeah, lets pin 'em to the ground until they tell us!" Lily joked.
"And we can cackle evilly the whole time!" Jenna added.
"But don't you think the heads and prefects will notice if we torture them in the common room?"
"So we'll torture them in their dorm!" Lily said happily.
They laughed and kept on talking, completely ignoring the evil stares they were getting from the Dizzy Ditzs.
"Shut up Wormtail!" James whispered to Peter, who was talking to loud.
"We don't have the cloak, so we have to open and close the door really quickly, k?" James explained.
The other two nodded in agreement.
"Password?" The Fat Lady asked, who was half asleep.
"Snape sucks." Sirius said enthusiastically. (sp?)
The Fat Lady sighed and she opened the door. Hastily, the boys plunged into the Common Room.
They ran all the way to their dorm, ignoring all the surprised comments from the older students.
As soon as they were in the dorm they sank down to the grown, not noticing the three girls sitting there.
"Uhem." Lily 'coughed'.
The boys shot straight up.
"What are you three doing here. What is SHE doing here?" Sirius asked, and then pointed towards Jenna.
"You can trust here. She's our bud now." Ara said, patting Jenna on the back.
"Well...ok." Sirius said hesitantly. But he trusted Ara and Lily, so he would trust Jenna.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Lily said standing up.
"Tell you what?" James asked, trying to sound confused.
"Prongs, you know perfectly well what." Lily scolded.
"How did you-" Peter asked.
"If I'm correct, Sirius, you're Padfoot. And you," Ara said pointing to Peter, "are Wormtail."
"How do you know?" James asked.
"Well, you did a horrible job disguising yourselves tonight, let me just tell you that."
"We didn't have the cloak!" Sirius said, defending himself.
"Don't leave it in the Astronomy Tower then!" Jenna said, as she tossed the cloak to James.
James muttered thanks and tossed it in his trunk.
"Why didn't you tell us? Did you think we would tell Dumbledore or something?" Lily asked again, this time her voice was sad.
"I don't know. I'm sorry, Ara, Lils." Sirius said, seriously! (A/N: *ducks tomatoes* Don't kill me for using it!)
"It's ok." Ara shrugged.
"We can really trust you, right?" James asked Jenna.
"Yeah! Of coarse! I'm not with the other girls anymore."
"Good. If you don't mind..." James said, pointing to the doors. His voice was a lot less serious now.
The girls gave a short laugh, and Lily shoved James playfully.
"Hey! That hurt!" James whined, then shoved Lily back.
"MEANIE!" Lily pouted (playfully of coarse) and shoved him back, this time he fell on the ground. She stuck her tongue out at him and ran out the door.
As soon as the girls where out, Sirius grew an evil grin.
"What?" James asked Sirius as he got up.
"You like Lils, dont you?"
"What? Of coarse not! I dont even know her that well!" James said, blushing a tiny bit.
"Whatever." Sirius yawned and ot into bed. Without changing.
"Nighty night." James said.
"Nighty night." The other two boys replied.
