"Hey all," Megan said as she came stumbling down the stairs yawning and still dressed in a pair of blue pyjamas with teddy bears on them.

"Why do we have to inherit some of our characteristics from when we were teenagers?" She managed to ask while yawning.

"She wasn't a morning person," Sparks said as she followed Megan down the stairs "it was a closely guarded secret though, so shush don't tell anyone."

"Leave me alone Sparks it's too early and you Black," she said as she saw Sirius' mouth open.

"Is that any way to talk to your boyfriend Meg?" Sirius asked smirking at a now glowering Megan as she threw herself into a chair and immediately closed her eyes.

"Well it looks like Meg isn't going to be helping with the plan," pointed out Remus as he looked at her.

Everyone nodded in agreement as they looked at the sleeping face of Megan, she looked so peaceful when she was asleep Sirius thought, like a child with not a care in the world. He shook his head at Sparks as she motioned her head towards Megan asking him if she should wake her.

"Let her sleep," he mouthed silently at her.

He sat quietly for a few minutes thinking about the night before. He'd come down to the common room because he couldn't sleep as there had been too many thoughts colliding around in his head. The first thing he'd seen was a small, lonely figure hunched up in a chair softly crying and asking the fire why. Why had her best friend been taken away from her? Why did Harry have to be raised by people that didn't care for him? Why did coming back and seeing them again young and alive cause so much pain? Why was she being so selfish by thinking that if they never got together in the first place they may not have died? He'd watched her silently not knowing what he should do feeling her pain mix with his. He'd stayed and watched her until she eventually fell into a fitful sleep; he'd then gathered her gently into his arms and carried her up the boys stairs to his room where he tenderly tucked her into his bed. He'd then came back to the common room and slept on one of the couches.

"Hey Si you listening… Oy Si," Sirius turned around quickly as something hard whacked him in the side of the head.

"What? Uh? What was that for?" Sirius asked staring angrily at Remus and picking up the bag he'd thrown at him.

"Christ Remi," he said as he threw it back to him "what have you got in here?"

"Just some books and stuff," Remus said staring him in the eye and daring him to ask any more questions.

"Book worm," Sirius muttered jokingly under his breath.

"Well we have to keep up the imitation of our pasts don't we? You're the one that told us to."

"Oh that reminds me," Sparks muttered as she started going through her pockets "I found something I thought you'd like Harry".

Harry watched as she pulled out a photo from an inside pocket and quickly thrust it into his hand. Harry looked down at the two faces glaring up at him. The boy on the left looked very annoyed his hair was coloured with all the colours of the rainbow, but this wasn't why the boy looked so annoyed, vegetables were covering his skin. His nose had sprouted a row of tomatoes, which were causing his head to fall forward at an odd angle. His hands, which Harry supposed he'd tried to cover himself with from the water bombs, which were still hovering in the corners of the picture laughing and pointing at the boys, had sprouted runner beans all along his fingers while the nails on his thumbs had large pumpkins hanging off them which looked extremely painful to Harry. The boy's arms were also covered in various vegetables. Harry felt laughter bubble inside him as he turned to the other boy in the picture his scruffy black hair wasn't as colourful as the other boy's but the expression on his face was even worse than the other boy's he looked if anything ready to commit murder. His arms, which were covered in radishes and spinach, were waving around wildly as he muttered quietly under his breath.

"See what she did to me?" The boy cried out as Harry gazed at the picture "The bitch!"

"He always had a bit of a foul mouth when he was angry," said Sparks as she laughed at the picture.

"You!" The boy roared as he caught sight of Sparks laughing down at him.

"Hi James bad day?" She asked the picture innocently.

Harry watched as James hit Sirius in the back of the head and they both started to wave their tiny fists at Sparks as she waved cheerily back at them.

"Oh they were so angry after that was taken," Remus laughed as he came to see what all the fuss was about.

"You try having pumpkins hanging off your fingernails then I tell you it's not…" But what it was not Sirius didn't say as he gazed down at the photo "you took a photo? When? How?"

"Just after, but you and James were too angry to notice at the time," Sparks said airily "anyway I think we best have this meeting later Lily and James are on their way down the stairs".

No one had time to react to this piece of information as both people came into the common room at the same time.

"Hey Evans," James greeted her with a nasty smile "wanna move out of the way so I can go get some breakfast".

"I'm not blocking you Potter," Lily spat "go around".

"Move Evans!" James said.

"Are you going to make me?" Lily asked surveying James as he looked her up and down.

"Much as I'd love to I'm hungry so just save us all some time and move," James growled stepping closer to her.

The others watched in horrified silence as they started to square up to each other. Then Megan rolled her eyes and motioned to Sirius to help her stop the fight that they were getting ready to have.

"Come on Lil, let's go he's not worth it," Megan said grabbing her friend's shoulders and twisting her around away from James.

"Yeah you're right Meg he's not worth missing breakfast for," Lily fired back at a scowling James and with that she turned and walked out of the common room Megan and Sparks following her quickly.

"What is it with that girl?" James asked no one in particular as he watched her leave.
