Recap:

"Oh well, let's think about this later, anyway, the old blockhead said that animals are safe from werewolves and if we can change ourselves into animals, then we could be with Remus without getting bitten!" said Jo cheerfully.

"Maybe we should stop calling that blockhead, blockhead since he helped us with our little problem,"

They looked at each other, "NAH!"

------

It was a sunny Monday morning; the girls and the Marauders were having a very uneventful Potions lesson. Until…

"James Potter!" Lily's shriek was echoed all around the dungeon walls.

James grinned and asked innocently, "Yes?"

Lily's hair had suddenly turned purple, "My hair?"

"Beautiful, isn't it?"

"James Potter! Lily Evans!" Professor Slyer shouted, "DENTENTION! AND 40 POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR!"

Snape smirked. James didn't like that and so a few minutes later…

"I saw him Professor! It was Potter! He flew a fire cracker into my hair!" Snape's hair looked blacker than before and it stood on ends.

"DOUBLE DENTENTION" cried Professor Slyer.

"Well, I had to admit that Snape's hair never looked better, at least it wasn't greasy," admitted Lily after Potions that day.

"Yeah, and with his hair standing on ends, he looked like James," said Jo grinning.

"Jo, if I wasn't taught not to hit girls, you would be a pancake by now," said James hitting his first into his other hand.

"Anyway, what made you think of flying a firecracker into Snape's hair?" asked peace-loving Remus, desperately trying to change the subject to avoid a fight.

"Well, actually it was all thanks to Lily," said James smiling at Lily.

Lily blushed, she wasn't used to being paid compliments by James, "Me?"

"You remember the History of Magic test? The plane you flew into my hair? That sort of gave me inspiration. but then, I thought if I flew the plane into Snape's greasy hair, it'll just slide off so that's why I switched his hair gel for sticky goo which I bought from Zonkos," explained James.

"But James, how did you know that Snape had applied the goo to his hair?"

"Well, don't you remember?"

Flashback

James bumped into Snape at the entrance of the great hall. He took this chance to switch the hair gel for the goo. Then, when they were eating breakfast.

"Hey Snape! Your hair's messy!" James shouted.

Snape immediately took out his 'hair gel' and gelled his hair.

End Flashback

"Oh."

"And I thought you were just being sarcastic," said Sirius.

"Is that all the goo does?" Lily asked suddenly, "I mean, is it just sticky?"

"Nope! That's the best part! The goo does funny things to any body part it comes in contact with," replied a grinning James.

"So what would happen to Snape's hair?" asked Jo, curious.

"I don't know,"

"You don't know?" five people chorused.

"Yeah, the label on the bottle says Surprise Goo," James said.

"While, guess it'll be a surprise then," said Remus.

"But nothing else happened! " cried Sirius.

"The bottle said it would take effect only 24 hours later. You know, so that no one would think it was the goo!"

The gang nodded knowingly.

------

The next day at breakfast, the Marauders and the girls were hysterical. Snape's hair had become long, turned curly and Snape's hair colour had changed completely. It was golden! The funniest thing was that he didn't even realize it!

"What?" he kept asking people.

"My, my, Hogwarts own Goldilocks," laughed Lily, clutching her tummy.

"What's Goldilocks?" asked Sirius.

"Never mind,"

Professor McGonagall stomped towards the Marauders and the girls. If she didn't have heart problems, she'll probably get one teaching them.

"You six, Mr. Snape, detention," was all she managed to say.

"I won't mind another 10 detentions to see that clueless look on Snape's face," whispered Remus to Kat.

Kat could only laugh in reply.

Last day of school

"Wah!!! It's the last day of school and I have to go home to my dreadful sister," sob Lily.

"Don't worry, it will be over soon," Kat said trying to console her.

"Yah, besides, we'll all send owls and maybe even visit!" said Jo with a twinkle in her eye. It always meant she was planning something. Lily was too busy whining to see it, but Kat did.

"Here we go again," thought Kat.

On the trip back, the Marauders and the girls occupied the old compartment; it had sort of become 'their' compartment. As usual, Snape and his cronies came to bug them.

"Hi mudblood!"

"Really Snape, can't you think of something new to insult me?" asked Lily.

Just then, the food cart came and the girls and Marauders rushed towards it.

"Greedy pigs," Snape muttered and decided to leave them alone.

During the rest of the trip back, the group ate and talk. Finally, they neared King's Cross Station.

"We're here!" announced Kat.

"So soon?" asked Lily.

"Don't worry Lil', we'll visit," said Jo.

With that, the Marauders and the girls walk past the barrier, into the muggle world.

During the holidays, Lily tried to avoid any confrontations with Petunia by locking herself up in her room. She was trapped in her own home. Then, one fateful day, there was a knock on the door and Mrs. Evans answered it.

"Yes? Who are you looking for?"

"Er, we're Lily's friends from school,"

"Friends? School? Freedom!" Lily thought as she rushed to the door.

However, her face fell when she saw whom her friends were.

"What are you three doing here?" asked Lily.

"You mean we're not welcomed?" asked Sirius already stepping into the house.

"Yes, you three sort of invited yourselves here, how did you get my address anyway?" asked Lily with her hands on her hips.

James and Remus walked in ignoring the pouting Lily.

"We have our ways," replied Sirius, a smile playing on his lips.

"I don't even want to know,"

"What's this?" asked Sirius pointing to the television.

"It's called a television," Lily sighed, it was going to be a long day.

"Please boys, make yourself at home," said Mrs. Evans.

"Don't mind if we do," replied James jumping on the couch.

"Mum?"

"Yes dear?"

"You shouldn't have said that,"

"Oh,"

Lily was just teaching Sirius how to operate a television when she heard Remus scream, "Help! Lily!"

She rushed to the hallway where she heard Remus voice came from... and doubled up laughing.

"Petunia... get... of Remus," said Lily in between laughter.

"Uh, uh, he's mine," Petunia said stubborn as ever.

"I'm not yours," protested Remus.

"Yeah, he's Kat's," Lily retorted.

"Yeah, I mean no! I don't belong to anybody," Remus said, flushing.

"Well, tell that Kat girl to leave my Remus alone!" Petunia said still hugging Remus.

Lily sighed and walked towards the living room to get help.

"Lil' don't leave me!"

"Guys, I think you should have figured by now that Remus needs help," Lily said to Sirius and James.

Both have been listening to the conversation intently and by then were rolling on the floor laughing. Sirius had tears rolling down his face.

"Excuse me, this is no laughing matter, Remus could be squashed under Petunia's weight!" exclaimed Lily trying to hold back laughter herself.

"Okay, okay, we'll coming," said James and Sirius together with identical grins on their faces.

Lily, James and Sirius proceeded to the hallway.

"Now Petunia, get off Remus carefully, you don't want to hurt him do you?" asked James.

"Okay, I'll get off him, I don't want to hurt little Remie here do I?" said Petunia slowly, getting up.

Sirius started laughing, "Little Remie..."

The moment he was free, Remus went to hide behind Lily.

"Aw, Remie, don't run away," cooed Petunia

"Now Petunia, I thought you hated us wizarding folk, why so interested in Remus all of a sudden?" asked James.

"Well, I do make exceptions," said Petunia thoughtfully.

"Petunia, please, stop bothering us, or I'll call Mum," Lily said.

Petunia pouted and stomped up the stairs, making the whole house shake.

"So Remie (it was obviously going to be Remus' new nickname), what did you do to make Petunia fall deeply in love with you in the first place?" asked Sirius in a dramatic voice.

"Nothing! Nothing at all! I was just standing there, minding my own business when she came charging at me!" replied Remus a bit battered, after all, Petunia did just sat on top of him for 15 minutes.

By then, Lily had already burst out laughing, unable to control herself any longer.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang, "I'll get it!" shouted Lily as she ran towards the door. Before long, Lily came back with Kat and Jo.

"Hi guys!"

"Hi Jo, hi Kat," replied the Marauders.

"Kat? Did I just hear someone say Kat?" asked Petunia as she rushed out of her room.

Lily and the Marauders shook their heads furiously while Jo and Kat just stared blankly at her.

"You! You're Kat aren't you?" asked Petunia pointing her finger at Jo.

Jo shook her head, "Sorry, but I'm Jo,"

Petunia pointed to Kat, "You must be Kat then!"

Kat, sensing something was wrong, smiled nervously, "Erm, my name is Kathleen."

Petunia narrowed her eyes, "One of you must be Kat, I think I'll guess, ennie, meenie, mynnie, mo, pin that Kat girl on the floor, when she's dead then I'll let her go, ennie, meenie, mynnie, mo!"

Unfortunately for Kat, Petunia guessed correctly. She rushed towards Kat and started strangling her.

"Kat! You okay?"

"Help! Need air, breathe,"

"Do you think that's counted as okay?"

"Petunia, stop it!"

"Mum, help! Petunia's about to kill someone!"

During all that, Remus was trying frantically to free Kat from Petunia's grasps.

Just then, help arrived, "Petunia, let Kat go," just 4 simple words but immediately Petunia let Kat go. Nobody in the Evans family dared defied Mrs. Evans.

"Please Petunia, apologize to Kat, she is after all, our guest,"

Petunia shuffled her feet and apologized. After that, she ran back to her room but not before glaring at Kat and smiling at Remus.

"I'll never underestimate your mother again Lily," said Sirius.

Meanwhile, Remus rushed over to Kat, pulling her up from the ground (She had collapsed to the ground in a heap when Petunia let go of her). Kat was breathing in quick short breaths.

Finally she said, "Now, can anyone tell me why was Petunia trying to kill me?"

"Erm, well…"

Kat crossed her arms and tapped her feet impatiently, a sure sign that she was annoyed. Then Remus stepped forward and explained, "Actually, it was like this, I was looking at the paintings on Lily's wall when Petunia jumped on top of me...(at this, Kat smiled) then, I shouted for help, Lily came and asked Petunia to get off me but Petunia refused and said, and said, well, um,"

"And said that Remus was hers," supplied Sirius helpfully.

Kat's smile broadened.

"Well, yeah, but I protested and Lily said that I was, um,"

Lily was shaking her head, silently begging Remus not to tell, however, James saw this.

"Lily said that Remus was yours," supplied James this time.

Kat's smile turned into a frown.

"Lily... wait a minute, where's Lily?" asked Kat.

"Think she figured being with Petunia is safer than being with an angry Kat," replied Jo.

Seconds later, shouts could be heard from Petunia's room.

"Get out!"

"Don't throw that at me! Ouch!"

"Get out!"

"That's a vase you're holding Petunia!"

There was a sound of shattered glass when Lily ran out of the room, closing the door behind her.

"Guess she changed her mind," said Jo.

Lily smiled sheepishly at her friends and said, "Happens all the time,"

------

Two hours later...

"I'm bored!"

"And what do you suggest we do?" asked Lily.

"Isn't there anything to do around here?" asked James.

"Well, there is an ice-skating rink nearby," replied Lily

"Then why didn't you say so earlier? Let's go!" Jo said with a twinkle in her eye.

"Not good, not good," thought Kat (if you don't know why seeing a twinkle in Jo's eye is a bad thing, then read chapter 9!).

Few minutes later, they were out of Lily's house and walking towards the ice-skating rink, they were glad to see that it wasn't very crowded,

"Hope everyone brought some money 'coz you need money to rent the skates," said Lily.

Everyone nodded. After everyone had rented and put on their skates, Jo was the first on the ice. Slowly, everyone got on the ice. Remus had never ice- skate before and so was a bit unsteady. Kat was trying to teach him to ice- skate when suddenly, "Ouch!"

Kat fell on top of Remus.

"Sorry," Kat apologized.

"It's okay," Remus replied, his face a little red.

Lily, who saw what happened, skated over to her friend.

"Jo, how could you?"

"How could I what?" replied Jo ever so innocently.

"Knock into Kat on purpose," said Lily, hands on hips.

"Oh that, well, I always thought that Remus and Kat would make a great couple but, they haven't been making much progress so I decided to give them a little push," said Jo grinning from ear to ear.

Lily began to smile, "Yeah..."
