Hate to say i told you soChapter One

It was a dark and stormy night, Friday night to be exact, in the gryffindor common room-which was the norm by now, because it had been stormy this way for 2 weeks already. The grounds were mushy and muddy, and the common room had sprung a little leak,which by now was a puddle in the carpet next to James Potter's favorite cushy chair. Sirius: "Fine weather we're having here eh?"

Remus: "just dandy, but at least I can be motivated a little to do homework, not much you guys can think of.. that involves going out in that cold rain."

Sirius: "Don't speak too soon Moony, I was just concocting a devious plan."

Peter: "OOOOOH another one! OH goody I can't wait! Whats it gonna be this time guys??"

Sirius: sweat drop

James: Sheeez Peter why not say it louder so the WHOLE gryffindor common room can hear you, because I don't think all of them heard you clearly.

Peter was about to speak, until it dawned on him that James was being a bit sarcastic with him. He then became very interested in the book Remus was reading..or rather, flipping through the pages of. In fact he became captivated watching Remus suddenly, that he edged closer so he could read the pages.. so close the pages being flipped were starting to nip his nose.

Remus: raising eyebrows at peter you know...umm. Wormtail..i think you're getting a bit close..uh...yeah, you can look at the book when I'm done if you find it so..erm.. fascinating. Peter: ok, sure!

James: Must you be so..enthusiastic about everything peter?

Peter: wha? Oh sorry Prongs. That name is sssoooo cool isn't it? And it just suits you so well! Prongs, it sounds so deadly..and..and swift... and graceful. Doesn't it?

Sirius: hides smile behind hand as he looks away behind his chair

James: uh...yeah Peter..erm..wormtail..thanks.

Remus: looking up form book yeah Peter maybe you should start a fanclub for the prongs-man, maybe then James can get Lily's attention. smirks

Sirius: laughs quietly

James: HEY! I don't have any problems getting Lily's attention, ok? She wants me, so bad..and if you can't see that then..you don't understand women to the extent I do! OK? Women are complicated..works of art and-

Sirius and Remus: burst into laughter "works of art?"

Peter: 30 sec. Later THAT WAS SO FUNNY!! laughs histarically

Sirius and Remus: stop laughing and look at eachother, and James

James: umm.. anyway, AS I was saying, Lily Evans is nuts about me, I mean come on, do you see the way she looks at me? It is ssoooo obvious, I've got her practically wrapped around my finger?

Peter: which finger?

James.. umm.. I don't know.. the little one. It's a saying, wormtail.

Sirius: yeah I see the way she looks at you.. ha.. like you're a stuck-up show off.

James: She does not! Don't you understand women? Its her cover up! Obviously she's not going to go all sparkly eyed in front of me. Just trust me guys, she wants me.

Remus: yeah, wants you to go away.

Sirius: laughs whatever you say bro, you're the one who understands women as you say. The works of art, ha.

The boys keep talking and laughing in their circle of smooshy chairs by the fireplace. The common room is moderatley occupied, there are a number of students talking in their cliques, or studying, but it isn't crowded. There is a small group of girls on the opposite side of the room, who point and whisper and giggle at the 4 of them, one of the girls has fiery red hair, and rolls her eyes at the comment one of her friends has just made,

. "James Potter? Yeah right!.. well.. maybe, if he wasn't so cocky." Remus was almost done flipping through his book, as he was half listening to Sirius and James' conversation, when suddenly he was tapped on the shoulder, he looked up to see a fair girl with wild light hair, light eyes, and many, many rings and bracelts. Remus: umm... can i help you?

Girl: Hi. R-Remus, my divination teacher um..gave me some extra work. .outrageously for correcting her one too many times..so umm. To do the assignment I need that book you're reading, I have been trying to get it form the library for over a week now, so. Umm. .. could I borrow it for tonight?

Remus: well.. err..sure I-

Sirius: Sibyl Trelawney...where did YOU come from?

Trelawney: I was visiting a friend. AND I'm surprised to see that you have memorized my name..all of it in fact, you know, you can just call me 'Sibyl' right?

Sirius: yeah, but what can I say? I pay attention in class.. well at last the beginning of class. I hear the role call. smiles innocently

James: I just remember you as the short girl with crazy hair we met on the train. YOU KNOW they make high-healed shoes for people with your problem. Peter: laughs

Trelawney: oh wow. I'm a whole 4 inches shorter than you, and be quiet peter, you're shorter than me.

Peter: stops laughing well... that doesn't matter... erm.. I don't have crazy hair!

Trelawney: ignoring them anyway, so can I see that book Remus?

Remus: Sure.when I'm done with it.

Trelawney: Well...can i just borrow it really quick, I just need it for tonight and I'll give it back to you.

Sirius: What if HE needs it tonight?

Trelawney: frustrated FINE! I'm not going to sit here and beg for you to let me a borrow a book!

James: temper temper Trelawney, is that what got you kicked out of class? Isn't that the whole reason you have to do the assignment in the first place?

Trelawney: well something like that. Yeah.

Remus: I want to see when you're ever going to use that divintaion stuff your family is so good at. IT's probably not even powerful, and I can hardly see it being useful.

James: I know, Remus has got a point.

Peter: And a very good one at that!

Trelawney: Whatever boys, that's just because you get the wrong impression of divination, you wait and see, considering with the trouble you boys are usually getting yourselves into.

James: What, and ask you? Highly unlikelely, however you giving me a foot massage would be greatly appreciated.

Trelawney: Narrows eyes You watch, you're going to need me, or someone with equal power, and when you do, I'm NOT going to help you. YOU're just going to have to deal with it yourself!

Sirius: mockingly shudders ooooh there's a threat. You've got me worried now Trelawney.
