(A/N Hey, thanks to everyone who reviewed!)

Last Chapter ending: 'well. she was lying to James. She already had been sorted, but he didn't know that, so she took that opportunity to snag him.' Bella muttered.

'Right. I really don't like her.'

Chapter 4: James and Lily Potter.has a ring to it.eh? * You wish! *

Soon the four girls were upstairs in the dormitory. They were sitting on their beds, talking and complaining. about to get into a pillow fight, when they heard

James' voice outside their door. 'I love you too Stephanie.'

'EWW!!! Puke alert!' Lily screamed loudly, so that it was audible from beyond the door. Stephanie stormed into the room angrily. 'Can't you see that you're killing the ROMANCE out here?!' she screamed angrily.

Lily just rolled her eyes. 'Whatever, let's just let those two crazy luvbirds get some privacy!' Lily exclaimed sarcastically.

Stephanie angrily stormed out of the room, and back to James, who seemed to be a little turned off, down in the common room.

~**~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~

James was sitting down in the common room whilst Stephanie and Lily were having an 'argument'.

He sat in a large, comfy armchair, and laughed to himself. His two girls were arguing.great. Stephanie then came down the stairs, only to turn back when

Arabella screamed her name loudly, and angrily. James shook his head, and then started thinking about quidditch. Sirius and Remus soon interrupted his thoughts.

'. Yeah, that Becka is really hot!' Sirius exclaimed as he walked through the portrait hole. Becka ran out from her dorm, and peered over the stairs. 'I HEARD THAT SIRIUS DANIEL BLACK!!!' she exclaimed. Sirius' face turned scarlet, and he put on a puppy face. Remus and James rolled their eyes, then looked at each other, and laughed.

Sirius completely missed the point. 'Jeeze! Girls today are so touchy! I was just complimenting that she was good looking, and I liked her!' Sirius exclaimed angrily. 'Yeah, you were, but. you know she has a boyfriend.right?' Remus said

'Mmm. That stupid Amos Diggory! Personally, I reckon that he's a twat. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't it seem like he flirts with all 4 of their group whenever he's around them?' Sirius grumbled angrily. James smiled. Sure, Amos was a cocky bastard

(A/N see! That's why it's PG-13, cause those four swear a lot =P) And ALL of the marauders would like to see him.well dead was a little over- reactive, and hurt physically would have been too much, so I suppose that their issues lay with him getting stuffed mentally.

The argument upstairs was getting louder and louder. Stephanie was Screeching like a parrot, and Lily was screaming at her, and Lily's friends, well. they were trying to make sure that Stephanie knew that she REALLY sounded like a parrot!

'You're just jealous that James wouldn't date you if you were the.the.er. LAST girl on EARTH!' Stephanie screeched. Lily was taken aback. For once in her life, Lily was speechless. Luckily, Becka stood up and took over.

'I think you've gotten THAT all wrong. Lily wouldn't date JAMES is he was the last guy on EARTH you slut!' Becka screamed angrily. Stephanie smirked. 'Looks like I've won. You can't say anymore on this topic Lillian.'

Lily sat there for a few seconds, registering what Stephanie had said. Lily got up, and walked coolly over to Stephanie, with the intent of slapping her. Frances and Becka got there first. Frances slapped her on the face, and Becka walked around behind her, and put her lips close to Stephanie's ear.

'You're gonna endure HELL with us Killate,' Frances smirked, and went to Stephanie's other ear. 'This means WAR,'

~**~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~

James eventually got tired of waiting, and went up to his dorm. Before he went to sleep, he smiled, and thought about how 'well' his two favorite girls got on. He was asleep before Lily and co. snuck into his room to pull their prank. James would be none the wiser.

' Ooh! Let me do the honors!' Lily muttered happily. With their approval, she muttered a spell, and waved her wand.

'Perfect!'

~**~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~

James awoke the next morning to find the marauders huddled around him, with a look of fear on their faces. 'J.J.James? A.a.are y.y.you alright?' Peter struggled to get the words out. ' Jamesie? What happened?!' Sirius cried. Remus was the only one that said nothing.

James opened his eyes fully, and looked around. He could see nothing different around him, and from what he could see in the mirror, he looked no different.

'Huh? What do you mean?' James asked, perplexed. 'Y.y.you're.er. well Prongs, there's no easy way to break it to you, but.well.you're.umm.ugly!' Sirius muttered quietly. James looked perplexed, then laughed. 'Good one! I almost believed you!' he exclaimed. The marauders looked at him, as if he was insane.

'Umm. Prongs? Are you feeling alright?' Remus said, cocking an eyebrow. 'I'm fine Moony! Ha-ha-ha good joke!' James laughed. 'See! I TOLD you there was something wrong with him!' Sirius exclaimed.

James got out of bed, and walked down into the common room, laughing happily. Sirius and Remus were standing at the top of the stairs, staring at James in disbelief.

James was greeted with a gasp from the fellow Gryffindors. Lily, Becka, Frances and Arabella were sitting in the corner of the room, laughing silently. James had NO idea.

One of the first years walked over to James, and handed him a small mirror, and when James looked into it, he saw himself, nothing else. Nothing different about

him at all. So why was everyone staring at him like he had a wart the size of Krakatoa on his nose.

All day, Sirius walked up to James, and tried to charm a mirror to show James what he REALLY looked like.with no success. All James saw was his original self.

Lily, Becka, Frances and Bella, on the other hand, were having the time of their lives, looking at a confused James, who was trying to figure out why Stephanie wanted to have nothing to do with him anymore.

'Hey, Let's let him see how incredibly UGLY he is now!' Arabella exclaimed happily. 'Yeah.' Lily smirked. This was just too easy!

The four girls charmed a mirror in the marauder's dormitory, so that James could see his true self. well, the newly charmed one anyway.

As expected, James walked drearily up to his room, and turned to the mirror.

James looked up, and saw, not himself facing back, but the ugliest Slytherin that he had EVER seen. It was even worse that Snivellus.

James screamed loudly, with such a piercing cry, that it shocked all of the Gryffindors in the common room. Lily, Becka, Frances and Bella had to run up to their dormitory before they split at the seams with laughter.

~**~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~

James ran down the stairs, and had the instinctive feeling that this had SOMETHING to do with Lily. He searched frantically around the common room, and with no luck, he turned and ran up the stairs to the girls dormitory.

As he predicted, there, the four girls sat, laughing uncontrollably. James stormed into the dormitory, and corned Lily. 'What have you done to me Evans?!' he exclaimed scathingly.

Lily put on a puppy face, and smiled at James. 'Why.whatever do you mean James? I only see that you have gotten suddenly more attractive over night!'

It took a lot of self control for the girls not to burst out laughing. 'You know EXACTLY what I mean! What hex did you put on me, and REVERSE IT!' James roared. Lily rolled her eyes.

'James, James, James. you'll never learn! You can't automatically accuse me of a crime you have no proof of me ever committing!' Lily said sarcastically. James seemed unimpressed. 'Look Evans, I know you did this, and I also know that you're going to REVERSE it RIGHT NOW!'

'Hmm.threatening a prefect are we James. Lily, Isn't that a detention-able offence?' Becka said, with as much sarcasm in her voice as Lily. James groaned.

He was getting NOWHERE with this. 'Fine Evans, be a loser.' And he stormed off. Lily smirked, and quickly reversed the hex, then turned to her friends.

'Did you see his face?'

~**~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~

James stormed up to his room, and collapsed onto his bed. He turned to face a mirror, only to see his normal face staring back at him.

'PHEW!' ~**~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~

Stephanie ran up to James' dorm. She'd break it easy to him. 'James, you're ugly. I don't wanna date an ugmo.' Stephanie rehearsed in her mind.

Except, once she reached the dorm, she was surprised by what she saw.

James was normal again!

'Oh James! I'm so glad that you're alright!' Stephanie exclaimed happily.

'er.yeah,' James mumbled anti-socially. 'James! I just heard the best news! They're holding a Yule ball this year! Do you wanna go with me?'

James looked up. Ball? Yule? Date? Huh? 'umm.sure Stephanie. Whatever you want.'

'Oh James! We're gonna have the BEST time!'

~**~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~

'There's a WHAT?!' Lily screamed angrily. 'A Ball! A Yule Ball this year!' Frances replied.

'What?! I don't have anything to wear! I don't have a date! OMG I don't have any make-up!' Bella screamed, rushing around the room. The girls laughed. Arabella always made the best of a sad situation. 'So.have any idea who you're gonna go with?' Frances said, sitting heavily on her bed. Arabella smiled.

'I hope I go with. *Jason*.you know, that cute Ravenclaw?' Arabella said dreamily.

'Yeah.right.ok.umm.yeah, How about you Becka?' Frances continued. 'Well.as long as it's not some loser like any of the marauders, I'll be fine,' Becka grinned.

Lily groaned. Balls were just another place for James to parade his girlfriends. sluts. ~**~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~

Meanwhile, news of the ball had reached the ears of Sirius and Remus. 'So.who are you gonna take?' Remus questioned Sirius.

'Well.I'm hoping to take Becka.' Sirius mumbled, 'How about you?' 'I'm thinking Frances.'

~**~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~

James was lying up on his bed, with Stephanie walking around him, planning the perfect ball.

'.Oh and we just HAVE to have matching flowers and robes!' She rambled. James ignored her the best he could.

"Why do I have to go with her? I would rather go with.well, someone else! Hey, I'd even go with Evans!" James thought.

Stephanie continued rambling, oblivious to James' thoughts.

"God! Will she ever SHUT UP!?" James thought angrily. 'Um.Steph, I'm feeling a little tired right now, so could you please go for a little bit, so I can get some sleep?' James asked wearily.

'Oh.sure babe, I don't want you sick before the ball!' Stephanie skipped happily out of the room, much to James' relief. After the ball.she was gone. It was a life or death situation that he dumped her after the ball.

~**~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~

Sirius and Remus walked into the common room, and started to plan strategies to get Frances and Becka to go to the ball with them.

'Ok, so how about we corner them when they go to the toilet?' Sirius said cheerily. 'Nah, you just want to go into the girls toilet! It would fulfil some sick fantasy of yours.' Remus grumbled.

'Ok.ARGH! I can't take it anymore! Let's go ask them to the ball already!' Sirius screamed angrily.

The two boys walked out of the common room together, searching for the girls.

Becka and Frances exited shortly after they did.

'I need a walk,' Frances grumbled.

~**~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~

Sirius and Remus eventually found the two girls, wandering the corridors of the castle.

'Frances! Er.well.wannagoballwitme?' Remus mumbled, going scarlet.

'Hello?! Speak ENGLISH PLEASE! I understand very little of that mumbo jumbo language!' Frances exclaimed. Becka stifled her laughter.

Remus took a deep breath and repeated what he said. 'Do.you.wanna go ballwitme?'

'hmm.well.see I COULD go with a marauder, or I could go with.someone, hmm.NOT associated with the assholes James Potter and Sirius Black!' Frances cried sarcastically. Remus sighed. Why did she have to be so stubborn?

Sirius turned to Becka, and was about to ask her to the ball when she silenced him.

'If you're gonna say what I think your about to say. nope!' and the two girls walked off.

'God she's hot when she walks like that,' both boys mumbled under their breaths.

~**~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~

Lily and Arabella were up in their dorm, talking about how big a LOSER James is. (A/N I'm not Anti-James.it's just how Lily sees him.Honest!)

'ooh! I have another pranking idea! Let's sneak into his room, and put a big, visible L on his forehead!' Lily cried happily.

'Yeah! That's a brilliant idea!' At that very moment, Becka and Frances stormed into the dorm.

'You won't believe what those two twats of marauders did!' Frances exclaimed.

'What?' asked Lily and Arabella in unison.

'Remus and Sirius actually asked US to go to the ball with them!' Frances blurted out angrily.

'You're kidding! Becka, he (a/n Sirius) knows that you and Amos are a couple, right?' Lily exclaimed.

'Yeah, but he seems intent on breaking us up! Loser.' Becka mumbled.

~**~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~

James lay on his bed. Why did he say yes?! WHY?! 'Well.the deed's been done' he mumbled to himself.

'God. I'd even rather go with Lily EVANS than her. she's such a whinging twat!' James rolled over.

'JAMES!!!! Quidditch practice! Next Monday! YAY!!!' Sirius burst into their dorm happily.

'Yes Sirius. Very good Sirius. Bye Sirius.' James rolled over, and started to think about lily.for some unapparent reason.

"Mrs. Lily Potter.has a ring to it.eh? HUH! W T F?! ARGH! I am NOT thinking this.NOT." ~**~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ Lily was up in her dorm, lying on her bed. 'And the million dollar question.Who is James Potter going to the ball with?' Arabella said sarcastically.

'Hmm.he's such a player, changing girlfriends each week. I'll go for Lily Evans thanks.' Frances replied.

'WHAT?! EWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!' Lily jumped off her bed, and threw her pillow at Frances.

Arabella followed suit. Frances picked up the three pillows, threw one at Lily and the others at Arabella. Becka didn't join in.

'COME ON! Come PLAY too!!!' Whined Frances.

'I can't! I've got a date with Amos. Hold this position, and I'll play when I get back!' Becka ran out of the room, wearing a white sparkly boob tube, her denim

jacket, and a pair of her flared bottom jeans, topped off with a lovely diamond necklace, and blue platform sandals.

~**~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~

3 hours later, Becka came back to the dorm, in tears. 'What happened?' Lily cried, racing over to her distraught friend.

'H.h.he w.w.wants me t.t.to sleep with him!' Becka sobbed, 'B..b.but I'm n.n.not ready!'

'Oh.look, he's just out to impress Potter and his friends, so don't worry. If that's who he wants as a friend, then he's no better a slime than they are!' Lily soothed her battered friends nerves. Becka looked up with bloodshot eyes.

'Really?' 'Yeah.and besides, this gives us a chance to screw him, and the marauders over. you ready for some fun?' Lily grinned evily.

'Let's kick his ass.'
