Last chapter ending: As he hopped under the covers, James thought about Lily.

"Her smile lightens up her whole face, and she has the sweetest laugh..." Immediately, Imaginary Sirius piped up again.

"You Love Lily! You Love Lily!"

"Yes . . . I think I do . . ."

Chapter 6: The Truly Unexpected...

The girls woke the next morning, to the sound of sobbing, coming from Stephanie's bed.

'What happened?' Lily asked Stephanie, rubbing her eyes.

'J . . . J . . . James b... b... broke up w...w...with m...m...me!' Stephanie sobbed into her pillow.

'Well... you know that potter is a womanising bastard... right?' Lily stated, matter-of-factly.

'H...He is n...not!' Stephanie cried, in between sobs.

'Have it your way then...' And Lily lay back down, and turned over to sleep.

'Lily! Don't be so heartless!!!' Frances threw her pillow at Lily (A/N God, she does that a lot! =P) and went over to comfort Stephanie.

'Don't worry, you truly didn't know James. Before you came, he dated nearly the entire female population at Hogwarts! Lily's right, he is a womaniser, and if you don't believe us, you wait, soon he'll have a new girlfriend to flaunt,' Becka mumbled as she rubbed her eyes and woke up.

'Yeah,' Agreed Frances and Arabella cheerily.

'Can we please STOP talking about J-A-M-E-S?!' Lily cried angrily rolling back to face the four girls.

'Someone called?' James strode happily into their dorm, followed by Sirius and Remus.

'God! Why do you always come in at the WRONG TIME!' Lily cried, running into the bathroom, and locking herself in, as an attempt to avoid James.

'What's her problem?' Sirius asked Becka, as he sat down on her bed heavily.

'Dunno...' Becka mumbled quietly. Suddenly, all eyes of the room were on Becka and Sirius.

'What?' Sirius jumped up at James, 'What?!'

James grinned evilly.

'Nothing Padfoot, don't worry!' Sirius punched James in the arm.

'WHAT?! Tell me! Don't leave me out! Come on! JAAAAAAAAMMMMMMEEEEESSSS!!!!!' Sirius whined.

Remus walked over to Frances' bed, and sat next to her.

'Morning =P' he grinned at her.

'Uh... yeah... morning.' Frances sat up, and swung her legs over the side of the bed. She raced to the bathroom, and started banging on the door.

'Lily! LET ME IN!' The door swung open, and Frances disappeared inside. Becka and Arabella followed suit, and were accepted into the room.

Then, as though an invisible hand was pushing them, the three marauders slowly exited the room. The bathroom door unlocked, and Lily popped her head out.

'PHEW! They're gone!' and the four of them left the bathroom, and ran to their wardrobes.

'Dumbledore said that he was holding a meeting for the 5th years today!' Lily cried from her wardrobe.

'Yeah, I wonder what about...' Frances replied.

After what seemed like an age, the girls emerged, Dressed in Jeans, Gold platform slip ons, and A scarlet 3/4 top each... except for Arabella, who was wearing a Royal blue top, which Lily thought was to attract Jason's attention.

They then each did their hair, Becka had her just past the shoulder blades, Blonde hair in two little buns on her hair, with little strands of hair hanging from them, Frances had her Shoulder length brown hair out, Lily had her Auburn hair up, with little spiky bits at the back, and Arabella did her honeycomb hair in a fish braid.

Finally, they threw on their Gryffindor cloaks, and left Stephanie, in the dorm, sobbing into her pillow. They tried their best, but nothing could comfort her after what James did. (A/N He wasn't even that harsh! Cry baby!)

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

James and Sirius were the first down of the marauders. When the girls left their dorm, they saw the two of them talking

'Rumour has it that Stephanie is so distraught after the break up that she won't even leave her bed,' Sirius said to James, who wasn't really paying attention, he was thinking about Lily.

'James? You listening??? Jamesie? OY! JAMES ORION POTTER! WAKE UP!' Sirius screamed in his ear.

James snapped out of Lily Limbo, just as she and Arabella, Frances and Becka walked down the stairs.

'God Sirius, no need to shout IN MY EAR!' James threw a scarlet pillow at Sirius, who caught it, and threw it back to James.

'Children, would you please stop the fight long enough for the four of us to cross the common room safely?' Lily asked sarcastically.

'Sure Lily-kins, whatever you want...' Sirius grinned and bowed. James sat frozen staring at her emerald eyes.

"They sparkle like jewels, and with the light makeup she puts on them, she steals the show..." James thought spastically. Only Sirius saw what was happening.

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

The four girls grinned as they left the common room, and they ran to the Great Hall for breakfast, before they had to meet Dumbledore with the rest of the 5th years.

As they were about to sit down, Amos ran into the hall and cornered Becka.

'Rumour has it that you were snogging a certain marauder in the Astronomy tower... Slut,' Amos slapped Becka across the face.

'Well maybe if you weren't such an asshole, I wouldn't have sought comfort in the arms of another. AT LEAST He CARES ABOUT ME!' Becka retorted, and received another sharp slap across the face.

'We're not through you bitch; so don't think that you have escaped me yet. You are still my girlfriend and I can do what I like with you.' Amos grabbed her, pulled her close to him, and put his lips next to her ear.

'I'm not letting you off easy for this... I'd watch my back if I were you,' He pulled back, slapped her across the face again, and punched her in the stomach.

Lily and Frances finally saw what happened, as did the marauders, who just entered the hall.

Sirius ran to Becka's side, and placed his wand between Amos' shoulder blades.

'Yeah, and maybe you should watch yours too. You and Becka are through, and unfortunately, She ditched YOU for me, so piss off man, and get your hands off my girlfriend,' Sirius pulled his wand away, and pulled Amos off Becka. Amos let go, but slapped her across the face again, before departing.

Once she was free, Becka fell straight into Sirius' arms, and feinted.

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

James eventually found Sirius in the hospital wing, sitting beside Becka.

'Don't worry, she should be alright, besides... you know what this means...' James grinned evilly.

Sirius looked up.

'Prongs, I'm not leaving her side, but just do this for me. Prank him so badly that it screws his reputation, his looks, his self-esteem and most importantly, makes him so embarrassed in-front of the whole school, that he wishes he was dead.'

'Don't worry Padfoot, it's already been approved...'

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

Lily, Frances and Arabella were sitting together in the hall, Talking about what had just happened.

'We'll finish breakfast, and then go see her. Sirius seemed pretty upset, so its better that we leave him a little time with her.' Frances kept eating.

'We really need to teach Diggory a lesson. Just because Becka WAS his girlfriend, doesn't mean that she is his property!' Lily cried angrily, throwing down her knife and fork, scaring Arabella.

'Jeeze! Lily don't DO THAT!' Arabella cried.

'Sorry,' Lily mumbled sheepishly, blushing.

'FINSIHED! F-I-N-S-H-E-D! I'm FIINIISHED!' Frances cried happily, as she jumped up.

'Good, now, let's go see Becka' with that, the three girls got up, and raced out of the hall.

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

When they got up to the hospital wing, Sirius was sitting next to Becka, slumped in the chair he conjured up.

'How is she?' Lily asked, going up to her friend's side.

'Stable, but that's all Madame Pomfrey is telling me.' Sirius said, opening his eyes.

'She can't be that bad, it's not like he hexed her or anything...' Arabella mumbled to herself.

'I swear, next time I see Diggory, I'm gonna kill him...'

'Don't. That'd stop me being able to kick his sorry ass,'

'Becka!' Lily turned abruptly, and smiled at her friend.

'You're alright!'

'Course I am! Can't say the same for Diggory...' Becka grinned weakly as Sirius walked to the other side of her bed and held her hand.

'I was worried,' He smiled at her, and she grinned back.

'You shouldn't have! =P'

'Good! You're awake! Now we can put our plan into action!' James and Remus walked into the Hospital Wing.

'Plan? Oh... PLAN!' Sirius smiled, and they all laughed.

'So slow... so awfully slow...' Remus mumbled sarcastically.

'Shut up moony!!!'

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

Becka was released from the hospital wing after convincing Madame Pomfrey that she felt fine, and if she weren't up to her best later on during the day, she'd come back immediately.

The 7 5th years ran up to Dumbledore's office, hoping to at least catch some of the meeting.

"Ah, Mr. Potter, Ms. Evans, Mr. Black, Ms. Stockaz, Mr. Lupin, Ms. Liu, and Ms. Figg, how nice of you to join us. Perhaps some of your peers can fill you in on what you have missed. But for now, Meeting adjourned!'

Peter (A/N Stupid ugmo git!!!! Loser! Ass! [Sorry, I really DON'T like Peter Jerkagrew!]=P) ran up to the seven that missed the meeting, and started to explain.

'After the ball, the 6th years are going on 2 camps. They last 2 weeks each, and one is a wizarding camp, the other is muggle! We have eight in each cabin, 4 boys and 4 girls. They can be multi house, or one house. Dumbledore will put us in cabins! We'll get the lists tomorrow!'

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

Soon the day was over, and the girls were lying in bed... as were James, Sirius and Remus (A/N Peter deserves no mention cause he's an ugly git!)

Sirius suddenly remembered what happened earlier that day.

'James,' He started.

'Yes, Padfoot?'

'How soon will it be until we hear wedding bells between you and Lily?' Sirius grinned.

James froze. How did he know?!

'W...what are y...you talking about?' James stumbled.

'I saw how you were looking at her today. There's no denying it. You are in Love with LILY EVANS!' Sirius smirked.

'Alright yes, I admit it, but you can't tell anyone! It'll probably blow over in a few days, provided that I avoid her!' James mumbled.

'Ha! You Love Lily! You Love Lily!' Sirius started skipping around.

'Padfoot SHUT UP!'

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

James and Sirius got up early, to try and find out who was in their cabin.

'Aww! How sweet! Dumbledore gave each cabin a name!' Sirius cooed.

'Here we are! Cabin... Rabble-Rouser... Rabble-rouser? What the hell?' James mumbled.

'It means troublemaker...' Remus mumbled, walking down the stairs sleepily.

'Who's in our cabin?'

"Let's see, the boys are:

James Potter

Sirius Black

Remus Lupin and

Snivellus... damn!'

'Keep going James, who are the girls we are with?' Sirius asked.

'The girls are:

Lily Evans

Becka Stockaz

Frances Liu and...

Oh Crap!

Stephanie Kilate! Crud!'

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

'ARGH!!!!!!!!!!' Lily woke the rest of their dorm up.

'Lily! What is it?' Frances cried, sitting upright.

'I had a nightmare that we were in James Potter's cabin! ARGH!!!!!'

'Calm down! It was just a dream!' Arabella soothed.

'I certainly hope so!' Lily lay back down.

"Potter's not that bad… OMG! If I just thought what I thought I thought then I'm dead!"

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

It was two days before the Ball, and Lily didn't have a date.

'Who you going with Lily?' Becka asked her one morning at Breakfast.

'Beats the hell out of me!' Lily exclaimed.

'You haven't got a date?' Sirius plonked down next to Becka.

'Nope!' Lily grinned happily.

'Ok, neither does James!'

'I don't what?' James walked over to the Gryffindor table.

'Have a date to the ball! Neither does Lily!' Sirius grinned suggestively.

James stared blankly at her.

'Really?'

'Yeah... why is it any of your business?' Lily retorted.

'Well... you could be made fun of if you don't have a partner...' James started.

'Neither do you!'

'Yeah, I know... wanna go with me for a sympathy date?' James asked. Lily was taken aback.

'What the HELL did you just say Potter?!'

'Do you want to go to the ball with me for a sympathy date?' James repeated.

'Ugh! I think I'm gonna be sick! Hell must have frozen over! James wants me to go to the ball with him!' Lily cried sarcastically.

'Jeeze! You don't have to make a big deal out of it. I was just trying to be nice!!!!' James exclaimed angrily.

'Were not!' Lily retorted.

'Was too!' James back-answered

'Were not!'

'Was too!'

'Were not!'

'Was too!'

'Were not!'

'Was too!'

'CALM DOWN! Jeeze! James could have been trying to be nice...' Becka started.

'Or he could have been trying to humiliate Lily in the worst possible way by ditching her in front of the whole school!' Sirius finished.

'BUT THERE IS NO NEED TO ARGUE ABOUT IT!' The two bellowed in unison.

'Is too' James cried.

'Is not!' Lily continued. Then they turned on each other again.

'Is too!'

'Is not!'

'Is too too too!'

'Is not not not!'

'Is to'

'Is not!'

'Is TOO!'

'IS NOT +1 EVERYTIME YOU SAY IS TOO!'

'Got you there prongs,' Sirius joked. James was fuming.

'Fine! Be that way!'

'I will! I like it this way!' Lily started to eat again as James stormed off to the kitchens to get some food.

'Baby!' Lily called after him.

'Takes one to know one!' James replied.
