Author's Notes: I hope you all liked the last chapter. BTW: if you have time, read the stories in my Favorite Authors List....especially the SilverStar24 one! It's awesome, and it's written by my older sister. So read it, ok? I don't own any characters...although I do own this cool Kerry/Edwards sticker I put on my American Government Binder. Hehe. VOTE KERRY! HOEFFEL FOR SENATE! And now, Chapter 19!

Chapter 19

"DROP DEAD!" James shouted. "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!"

"Prongs," Sirius comforted, "take a deep breath. It's not a big deal...just a simple misunderstanding."

"This is your fault, too!"

Flashback from earlier that day...

"I love you, Lily," he whispered into her ear. They were sitting by the lake, enjoying a picnic. He was so happy. He had finally found true love. No more pointless, meaningless girlfriends that didn't matter. They gazed out over the lake, letting the brisk winter breeze whip past them. Unbeknownst to the couple, however, Aphrodite was invisibly standing behind them, using her powers to spread love between the young couple.

Present...

"I'm sorry!"

"You knew she was off limits!"

"She doesn't love you anyway! She doesn't even like you! She would never kiss you!"

"What the bloody hell is that supposed to mean?!"

"It means," Sirius interrupted, "that Aphrodite got a little confused when I explained the situation..."

"APHRODITE DOES NOT EXIST, YOU GIT!" they both shouted at Sirius.

"I beg to differ." Catherine came into the room wearing a vibrant orange spaghetti strapped dress that came to her knees.

"Then you're insane, too!"

"Bloody humans!"

"Pickin' up the lingo already, Aphrodite?" Sirius laughed, forgetting about the psychotic amounts of emotion and testosterone that were taking up the entire room.

"Do you need proof in order to believe Aphrodite exists?"

"You couldn't possibly get proof," Remus scoffed. At that, Catherine's face became stern and her caring eyes turned to an icy glare.

"Very well." She, in an effort to make the transformation more dramatic (she was always one for showy entrances), put her arms towards the sky and closed her eyes. She coaxed fog, lightning, swirling vortexes of color, etc. and the room started spinning out of control.

"Could you, please, just change already, you did it in 5 seconds before, without any showy junk."

"Fine." Aphrodite sighed and with the blink of an eye turned into her goddess form, her hair miraculously in an elegant, curly up-do.

For the second time, James began to stutter uncontrollably. "I—I—I—I—you--you--but—Catherine—but goddess no---exist—no—bu—but—Aphrodite—pretty."

"Does someone care to translate?" she asked. Remus volunteered, embarrassed for his friend's display of illiteracy.

"He said," Remus said, "that he is amazed at the fact that Catherine's real identity is an even more beautiful goddess named Aphrodite."

"I'm impressed."

"Apparently, so is he."

"Y—YY—YOOO---YOOOUUUU! It was you!" James pointed accusingly at Aphrodite.

"What, praytell, was me?"

"You made Lily fall in love with Remus!"

"You're welcome," she smiled, satisfied with her skill at making people fall in love.

"YOU'RE WELCOME?! I'M THE ONE IN LOVE WITH HER!"

"Huh?" she was dumbfounded, "Sirius, darling, would you mind clarifying?"

"We—" he began but was rudely interrupted by Remus.

"You didn't do anything. I love Lily and she loves me. So there!"

"What I was saying," Sirius's cold voice droned out everybody else, "is that Aphrodite got mixed up and thought it was Remus and not James, so now Lily is in love with Remus, instead of Prongsie."

"I see."

"MAKE IT BETTE—" James wailed but stopped mid-word because Malfoy and Severus had just walked into the room.

Snape could only stare at the tear-ridden face of James, the beautiful woman, a love-stricken Remus, the only sane looking one, Sirius (believe it or not). "What the bloody hell is going on?" Snape asked once he had found his voice.

"NONE OF YOUR BLOODY BUSINESS!" they all shouted back.

"Oooo does the cry baby want a blankie?" Lucius taunted.

"Yes," he sniffed. "I mean, no! I'm not a cry baby. I'll hex you."

"Bloody humans," she sighed and performed some kind of weird goddess hocus-pocus to make them leave.

"I'll fix it, I promise."

Author's Notes: Woohoo. Party for the crappy chapter.
