A/N- Hope you enjoy!

Ayrah hummed happily as she twirled her way to breakfast the next day. She floated by a sleepy Lily and a bemused Claire. She, of course, knew perfectly well what had happened the day before. Claire had stayed up late to drag it out of her, squealing at the appropriate parts while Lily sufficed with congratulating her before stating that she would rather sleep then listen to Claire's interrogation.

She met Remus in the hallway to the Great Hall. Smiling happily, she went up on her tiptoes to peck him on the cheek before they both entered the Great Hall for breakfast. For a while the Great Hall remained silent. A Marauder? With a non-ditzy girl, and a Gryffindor at that? Sighs of disappointment could be heard at the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tables where some Remus-fans sat. Of course, Remus and Ayrah were oblivious to any of it and merely sat across from each other shyly looking up once in a while.

Sirius broke the spell by entering in with a bang. He had been in a particular good mood that morning. Good enough to transfigure Snape's hair into a bar of soap. He now had Snape in a full body-bind and had turned him over and was busy scrubbing the floor with Snape and a mop. No, not a mop- it was too suspiciously BLONDE to be a mop. Sure enough when Sirius turned, an enraged Lucius Malfoy could be seen, struggling in vain against the full body bind. Most of the school started to laugh hysterically.

"Tralalalalalalala!!! I'm cleaning the floor! Tralalalalalala!" Sirius sang happily as half the Slytherin House stood up in anger. The other half continued eating- Malfoy and Snape weren't that popular within their own house. Dumbledore stood up in amusement his eyes twinkling and lips twitching, but McGonagall got there before he did.

"Black! What do you think you are doing?" She yelled at Sirius furiously.

"I'm cleaning the floor ma'am. I should think what was obvious," Sirius said back, not in the least perturbed by her anger.

"Detention! You are NOT ALLOWED TO TRANSFIGURE STUDENTS BLACK! And twenty points from Gryffindor," McGonagall said glaring at Sirius. Sirius shrugged nonchalantly. McGonagall waved her wand and stalked off. Malfoy and Snape got up, rubbing their heads ruefully and sending Sirius looks of utmost loathing.

"Nice cleaning with you too chaps!" Sirius said cheerily.

"My father will hear about this!" Lucius said furiously.

"Your ol' pater must know me pretty well by now!" Sirius commented. And to that, Lucius had no response so he slunk away amid howls of laughter to his Slytherin place.

Lily and Claire had arrived by now and were looking at Sirius in disbelief. Rolling their eyes, they walked to their spots by Ayrah. Lily absently noted that they would be sitting with the Marauders much more now that Ayrah was with Remus.

Sirius smiled at the girls before bursting into huge, fake sobs. "My baby Remus is all growed up!" He wailed, drawing a few stares. Remus scowled at him and elbowed him while Ayrah glared at Sirius.

"Sirius, SHUT UP!" The three girls chorused in union. Fortunately for them, Sirius had found a new target.

"Oh Jamsie Wamsie!" Sirius said. "Lily Willy beat you to breakfast today! Isn't she looking nice? Aren't you going to declare your undying l-" Sirius was cut off rudely by Lily and James who had both kicked him. "Owie! That hurt!" Sirius wailed.

"Sirius. I do not like Evans. Get it through your thick head," James growled at Sirius, who acted a bit hurt, but immediately began to amuse himself by flirting with his fanclub which started to writhe in excitement as he started to pay attention to them.

"Hey Jamsie.." A flirty female voice said from behind him. He winced at his nickname. He turned around him to see a Hufflepuff standing behind him. He'd never really spoken to her before. What was her name again? Alyssa? Alison? He wasn't sure but he knew that her friends all called her Ali. She was short with shoulder-length light brown hair. Her watery eyes looked shallow and though James could usually read people's personality and emotions through their eyes, he saw nothing but shallowness. No intelligence. No passion. So unlike Evans. He smacked himself mentally. EVANS? Sure, she was firey and seemed to have a passion for hating him. And yes, she was intelligent, but it was partly these things that made him dislike her so much. He shook his head mentally and followed his task at hand- Ali.

"Hey Ali," James said in a casual way without real enthusiasm but yet sincerely.

"Hi. I was wondering, this Saturday, do you want to go to Hogsmeade with me?" she asked batting her eyelashes at him.

James was sorely tempted to ask her if there was something in her eye, but decided against it. He really didn't want to go to Hogsmeade with Ali, having listening to her long ditzy dialogue. He'd done it way too many times with past girlfriends. The problem was, he had just recently broken up with… Cassie? Or Carrie. Whatever. The point was he'd just broken up with a girlfriend and so he really didn't have anyone else to go to Hogsmeade with. And the reason of wanting to stay back to finish homework was so un-James-like to be laughable. He turned to his friends with a silent plea for help.

Sirius didn't notice him, being engrossed with a blushing Ravenclaw. Remus was reading a book at the table. Peter was busy stuffing his face, completely oblivious to everything around him, and Claire had left the table to go talk to Rose at the Ravenclaw table. Ayrah was staring at Remus, and she wasn't a choice anyway since she was going with Remus. That left… Lily Evans.

Lily had saw Potter's look of despair. She wasn't sure whether or not to help him. As much as she hated him, she wasn't exactly a friend of Ali's either. Perhaps the two will annoy each other to death she had thought, but then realized that if Potter had to go with Ali, Ali would have the time of her life. That was a no-no. Lily made a quick decision.

"I'm sorry Ali, but P-James has already decided to go with his friends," Lily said smiling sweetly and putting a slight emphasis on 'friends.' "Rose, Claire, Peter, Sirius, James, and I were going to go together." She glanced at Sirius who was now in a liplock with the Ravenclaw. "Ok then, not Sirius," Lily said averting her eyes. She glanced up at Ali who was glowering with not-so-suppressed rage. Lily smiled angelically at her. "What a shame. Perhaps you and James could go together next on our next Hogsmeade trip." With that she got up from the breakfast table along with the Marauders and her friends who had started to pay attention once Lily had started using her "sweet" voice. Plus, she hadn't called James "Potter."

"Wow Lils, nice lying there!" Sirius said in amazement. Lily just rolled her eyes. They began walking to the Gryffindor Common Room. It seemed a bit weird to be in such a large group- and with the Marauders no less.

"I love annoying Ali. She gets on my nerves so much. Don't consider it as a token of kindness toward you Potter," Lily added.

"Don't worry I won't," James promised her. "So I guess we all are going together then! Excepting Remus and Ayrah," James said.

While Remus and Ayrah blushed, Lily made a face. "I look forward to it."

"As you should!" James said.

"Okay, seeing as we all are going to be around each other a lot now with Remus and Ayrah being together, we might as well make the most of it. James and Lily. Those are your names. Let's call each other by our FIRST names! And stop glaring Lily, I'm just being practical here. I don't think we all want to hear you and James fight nonstop whenever we're together," Claire said sensibly. They had stopped in front of the portrait hole now.

"Fine," Lily agreed petulantly.

"Fine," James said crossing his arms.

"Well, if you'll excuse me, I feel that I must go and prepare for class. Goodbye all. And James," Lily said stiffly spitting James's name out. "Stop mouthing behind my back."

James who had been in the middle of mimicking Lily stopped mid-sentence and glared after her retreating back. "Goodbye Lily," he yelled after her. She turned around and gave him a sarcastic wave.

James stormed into the Common Room after Lily did.

"And you see? This is the reason why they need to get together," Sirius argued.

"This is the reason that they won't," Claire countered. Sirius scowled at her logic.

"No they must! Then we won't have to have any of this petty fighting! Okay! I've got a new plan!" Sirius said cheering up. Everyone groaned.

"No it's a GOOD PLAN!" Sirius insisted. "Like I've said earlier… I want to work with mistletoe… Enchanted mistletoe…"
