A/N: Since my last chapter was so sad this one is basically very happy. I know I am a girl, but what do soon-to-be twelve year old boys like to talk about? I did some investigation (more or less meaning I spied on a group of eleven year old boys at a party). Anyway, this is what I came up with. Who knew eleven year old boys had such useless conversations that drift from one thing to another. There conversation was shockingly similar to this one.

CHAPTER EIGHT: ANIMAGI AND MEAN GIRLS

Three days before the end of the holidays Remus and Peter came back from vacation. Remus brought them to the dungeons the day before the end.

"Okay, we need to start your animagus lessons, that is, if you still want to." Remus said, still regretting his friends finding out.

"Of course, but since it is new years, let's have a bit of fun." James said, smiling to Remus.

Sirius nodded in agreement. "Yeah, 1772, soon we will be twelve. Of course, we all know what twelve means," James and Sirius laughed for a moment, "You Peter, will be taller soon, our voices will get deeper, and girls will start to notice us..." Peter shook his head.

"You mean notice you. No girl would like me... (A/N: You think so...) I mean, look at me!" Peter said, patting his stomach.

"Peter, girls look past looks, they look into the soul of the person," Remus sighed sadly, "and in mine they will see a wolf."

Sirius laughed, "No offence Remus, but twelve year old girls through about thirty two year old girls like boys that are 'hot', like me."

"Some girls look past the mundane." James added.

"What is mundane?" Sirius asked.

": found in the ordinary course of events; "a placid everyday scene"; "it was a routine day"; "there's nothing quite like a real...train conductor to add color to a quotidian commute"" Remus answered. Sirius stared at him.

"What the hell was that?"

Remus shrugged. "You wanted the definition of mundane..."

"Thank you Mr. Dictionary. I have no idea what mundane is, that Ravenclaw girl Sybil used that word when reading my palm." James said.

"You're obviously using it out of context." Remus said matter-of-factly.

"Oh really? Are you saying I talk out of context?"

"Yeah, I am."

"Hey, what were we talking about?"

"I dunno, lets play some music!" Sirius said, taking an old record player from his bag (if Remus can have one in the movie...).

James, Peter and Remus stared at Sirius as He River danced to the song 'cotton eyed Joe'.

"Sirius, we have work to do..." Remus said, turning off the record player.

"Aww, in a minute Remus, we have more talking to do." Remus sighed and sat back down. "So James, who do you want to notice you?"

"Lily Evans." James said very fast.

"Lily? She is very nice, but very smart. She seems more Remus's type." Sirius said, not able to picture his best friend and Lily together.

"So, I loved Lily at first sight, she is nice, smart, and not that bad looking either."

"Oh how sweet," Sirius than grinned mischievously, "oh, and by the way James, how sweet are your dreams eh? I hear you at night."

James went red. Everyone else laughed.

"Oh yeah? How about your personal life eh Sirius?" James asked, "Who do you want to notice you?"

"No one." Sirius said a bit too quickly.

"Out with it Black." James said jokingly.

"No one! It's just that I am a bit keen on finding out who sent me that Christmas gift."

James snorted, than said sarcastically, "Oh yeah, I would want to know who likes songs to tell you in detail how strange blood looks."

Sirius laughed. So did everyone else. Remus took the book he was holding and opened to a page that had a bit of writing at the top and was blank the rest of the way.

"Okay, what you each need to do is point your wand at the paper and recite the words at the top of the page. If you do it properly, it will show you a picture of the animagus you would become if you choose to be one." Remus gave the book to James; he pointed his wand at the page.

"'An animal I want to be, so the animal I am let me see'." James looked at the page. It stayed blank for a moment, but than a black stag cantered onto the page.

"My turn!" Sirius took the book from James and recited the same thing. Instantly, the black stag became a large black Labrador. Sirius grinned. "I always knew I was a dog."

"Let me see!" Peter took the book and did the same. A fat rat came slowly onto the page eating cheese.

The three other boys joked about this for the rest of the time. After a while it got late and they needed to get back up to the common room.

When they got there Lily was sitting with three girls. They were having a conversation about what type of boy they liked. Not wanting to miss this, the foursome of boys hid behind a couch.

"... My kind of guy would be tall, dark, handsome..."

"How about you Lily?"

"I just want an honest and mature boy." Lily said.

"Don't you care the least bit about how cute he his."

Sora, who was sitting in the corner, walked over.

"I want a boy with a long large intestine." Sora said sitting down on the couch the boys were hiding behind.

The other girls stared at her.

"Why would you want that?" one girl said.

"I don't. I think it's stupid what you girls are doing. Love is when someone cares about you, no matter what. You could fall in love with anyone." She said this very seriously.

"Were not talking about love; were talking about who we would look good with." Another girl said.

Sora snorted.

"Well, no one asked you, go back to your corner and play with the bugs."

"Yeah, what do you care? No one would like you anyway."

Sora stood up at this. "Your right, no one likes me. And no one will ever like me. I know that already. Try harder with the insults, because the truth doesn't hurt." At this, Sora went to the stairs leading to the girls dormitories.

"Man is she ugly. She looks like a boy." One girl said. Lily just sat there. She didn't want to stick up for her for she didn't want to be singled out either (Her attitude and independence comes later) but she didn't say anything.

"Yeah I know, she like has the same hair as Sirius- which looks really cute on him and all, but it doesn't like look right on a girl." The one with the valley girl accent said.

Sirius, James Remus and Peter all stood up. The girls screamed when they popped in.

"I'm glad you think my hair looks cute valley girl." Sirius said, storming up to his dorm.

"What's his problem?" James asked. Remus shrugged. The other three boys walked up to their dorm.

Sirius was sitting up on his bed. He was holding up another card like the one he got for Christmas.

"Another one? Oh guys, quiet down. Sirius, open it!" James said excitedly, he wanted to hear the song.

"Fine. I wonder if every holiday I am going to get one..." Sirius opened the card;

'Noldor Blood is on your hands Your banes A tearful destiny

Black clouds will carry Rain of blood I've seen it rain

We were lost On grinding ice In fear and hunger Dead winter reigned In Araman

(You) can't escape From my damnation (Nor) run away From isolation

Guilty spoke the one This deed can't be undone Hear my words Fear my curse

I know where the stars glow (And the) sky's unclouded Sweet the water runs my friend (But) Noldor Blood is on your hands Tears unnumbered You will shet and dwell in pain

Your homeless souls Shall come to me There's no release Slain you might be Slain you will be Slain you will be And the lost Who will not reach the House of spirits (Will) grow old and weary

(You) can't escape From my damnation (Nor) run away From isolation

Guilty spoke the one This deed can't be undone Hear my words Fear my curse

I know where the stars glow (And the) sky's unclouded Sweet the water runs my friend (But) Noldor Blood is on your hands Tears unnumbered You will shet and dwell in pain

I've seen this bitter end As I've foreseen The storm and ice And I could see it (How) a million died And I? The blame's on me Cause I was not there

(You) can't escape From my damnation (Nor) run away From isolation

Guilty spoke the one This deed can't be undone Hear my words Fear my curse

I know where the stars glow (And the) sky's unclouded Sweet the water runs my friend (But) Noldor Blood is on your hands Tears unnumbered You will shet and dwell in pain

Dead winter reigns And tomorrow's still unknown Lies Condemned and betrayed Now everything is said See my eyes Are full of tears And a cruel price We've paid But still I can't claim That I'm innocent

Lost'

"Lord of the rings." Remus said as Sirius closed the card quietly and ripped it up.

"What now?" James asked interestingly.

"The lord of the rings. It's a trilogy of three books. Well, there are four but the first is called 'the hobbit'. Anyway, whoever sent it likes muggle work." Remus said quietly.

Sirius sat in quiet for a moment.

"Sirius has a secret admirer!" James started to chant in a sing-song voice.

"Shut it!" Sirius said, throwing a pillow at him.

"Sirius, you should have never have been a vampire, you have the weirdest girls after you."
A/N: Well, that's this chapter! And no, the title of this chapter didn't come from any movies. Umm, the next chapter is Valentines Day so that should be interesting. I am trying to speed things up a bit as you can see, it hit me last night that I am writing about all seven years after all! I am trying to limit each year to about thirteen chapters, so lets hope!
