Chapter 1: Pranks Can Be Good Things

Now in narrator-person POV

"Okay, so, this is what we're gonna do." a young wizard with black hair whispered. "We're going to somehow rile Lily up, completely make her break down. We need to make sure that no matter what happens, James is nearby. If she really loves him, she'll immediately go to him, knowing he cares for her."

"Sirius." a wizard who was in the shadow of the black-haired wizard's, apparently he was called Sirius, wandlight. This boy had light brown hair... and the brightest green eyes of anyone in the year... the eyes that he shared with his younger sister, Lily. "Who would be able to rile her up like that?"

The rest of the dorm, stared pointedly at him.

"What? You... no! I won't! I'm not going to play Lily like a card!"

"Remus." Sirius Black pleaded. "Please? For James?"

"Yea, Rem." a brown-haired girl, also pleaded. "For Lily? For me? James's ill-fated cousin when it comes to love?"

"Ylva, I'm..." she gave him puppy eyes. "No... no.... umph...... fine... then what?"

"C'mon, Moonboy, you must have an idea." Ingrid smirked.

"Ylva."

"I'm not Ylva. Ylva's in bed... in the GIRL'S dorm!"

"Ingrid, I'm sorry."

"Nobody can tell us apart. If you only got to know us better... you'd see we're only identical in appearance."

Ingrid and Ylva Potter were twins... identical twins. Nobody, with the exception of Lily, and maybe James, could tell them apart.

"I got an idea..." a straw-haired boy said from behind Remus Lupin.

"What, Frank?" said a red-haired boy... he was apparently a Weasley.

"We get somebody to stay back after that, to make sure they've made up."

"Where are the rest of us." another red-haired boy said... apparently the first Weasley's brother... another set of twins.

"Archie, are you thick! What have we been saying the whole time? We're pulling the prank before supper!" The first red-haired boy told his brother.

"Aaron, I know. But we haven't officially gone to supper yet."

"Fine, Weazle-boys, we're at supper."

"Sirius," Ingrid put her hand on his shoulder, making her large hazel eyes larger, if that is possible.

Sirius gulped. "What?" It was those eyes that melted his, normally, cold heart.

"They're talking about in the prank."

"Shit!" somebody yelled.

"DUCK! BEDS!" Sirius yelled.

A boy with raven-black hair sat up, putting on his glasses. He was sleeping. WAS until a ridiculous person yelled.

They boy took off his glasses, thinking he must have been hearing things, and laid back down.

Sirius whispered, "Hold........... alright, he's asleep. C'mon back."

Everybody resumed their places on or by Sirius's four-poster bed.

"Whoever was the wise-crack that did that... don't do it again... that was BLOODY CLOSE!"

"Sirius, shut up!" Ingrid implored.

"Hey, I'm trying to do James," Sirius gestured to the, now sleeping, boy sleeping on the bed next to him. "a favor."

"We all know who he is, Sirius. And we all know you are."

Archie and Aaron confessed, "We're sorry Sirius. I... we, couldn't resist."

Ingrid rolled her eyes. "You guys are just like James, only stupider."

"Okay, you're leaving me out!" Sirius said, scandalized.

"You're leaving me out too!" Said a boy with greasy brown hair, that was slicked back, except for a few strands that looked like more of a line across the side of his face. His bright blue eyes were small, and watery-looking. He looked horrid.

"Shut the hell up, Rhett! We don't give a crap that you're Lily's ex! Me and Remus know her better than you ever would have... better than James ever will."

"Yea." Ingrid said stupidly.

"Do you know how much pain you've caused Lily!?" Remus half-yelled at Rhett.

"A bit..." Rhett said dumbly.

"No, not a bit! More than you'll ever know! You're just a fucking player, Rhett! YOU MAKE ME SICK!!" Ingrid yelled.... everyone naturally took their places, on their beds, Ingrid hid under James's bed.

'Damn, Remus never curses... Rhett must have really pissed Remus off... he broke up with Lily in third year... wonder what he did.' Ingrid thought.

There was a minute of silence...

"Okay, enough for now. Tomorrow after class, right before supper. Meet me here fifteen minutes before the prank is to go underway... I'll go over last minute details then.... until then."

The group shouted loudly "BREAK... DUCK! BEDS!"

James Potter woke up and ran his hand through his hair.

"Damn, third time in like ten minutes... it's already four... I GUESS I could get ready for class... not like anyone is going to disturb me, as they're all still sleeping."

James walked up the stairs to the boy's shower room.

"Close... very close... narrow escape... VERY narrow escape." Ingrid muttered darkly.

"Affirmative," Remus said.

"Sure." Ingrid snapped her fingers, gave Remus a thumbs up, and winked.

"You don't get it, do you?"

"No, Ylva's the geeky one... not that I do bad in school, she works at it more than I do... kinda like Lily, but yet kinda not."

"Sure." Remus poorly imitated Ingrid's response. "You also do mean studious...... I hope." Remus made a face like he was about to wince... this made Ingrid laugh.

'He's much cuter than Sirius,' she smiled at the thought.

"How much longer do we have, Sirius?" Rhett spat.

"Not much... get to the common room." Sirius commanded.

Ingrid sneaks out and quickly peeks into the common room.

"Lily's there." Ingrid snapped at Sirius.

"So what? We woke up James three times already... we can torment her for a while now." Sirius spat.

"Fine." Ingrid snapped back.

They walked down the stairs to the common room in complete silence.

"Hi." Lily said depressingly.

"Hi, Lily. How are you?" Remus asked kindly.

She sighed. "Same old same... you?"

"Pretty good, I guess."

"No leave me out!" Sirius said dumbly.

"Fine." Lily's voice was suddenly cold, and harsh. "What in the fuck do you want?"

Sirius grinned evilly. "You know what I want." He inched closer to Lily.

Lily got off the couch and stood behind Remus. "Get the fuck away from me."

Sirius was crestfallen. "Not even my own sister will let me sit next to her... I need a hug!"

Ylva Potter walked down the stairs.

"Who'd give you a hug, Sirius?"

"Your sister."

"In your dreams."

"I don't like you."

"Good, I don't like you either."

"How are you, Ylva?" Remus asked shyly.

"Fine, minus that not-so-serious-one showing up here... I'm pretty damn good."

Remus smiled... he had a crush on Ylva, always had... probably always would.

"Well, I need to ponder the meaning of life for a while... see you at breakfast." Lily said with a sorrow tone to her voice.

"Is she okay?" James had just entered the common room.

"She's pretty damn happy, actually." Remus said.

"Really? I'd hate to see her when she's depressed."

"Really? She should be in about a minute or two."

"What d'you mean?"

"PRONGS! Don't you get it?! She loves you! She's never been happier then when she is with you! Get over there and do the right thing, mate!" Sirius said loudly.

"When did you start giving a fuck about Lily's well-being?" Remus asked innocently.

"You keep your ass out of my fucking life!" Sirius yelled.

"Will you two quite your noise making mechanisms?" Ylva asked.

"What is that, Ylva-poo?" Sirius asked, flashing her one of his most charming smiles.

"Your mouth." Ylva responded slowly... as though talking to a young child.

Sirius smiled wider, "No, we can't do that, baby."

"Are you onto me?"

Sirius laughed his bark-like laugh, "Maybe...... maybe not."

Ylva just smiled.

A/N: What did you think? Kinda makes you wonder about Sirus's school-life. Please R/R.
