"Arrrg! It won't come off!" James yelled. He had tried everything from a whitening charm to a muggle tooth brush, but the pink didn't even fade.
"I'm going to get Evans for this, mate!" Sirius said. He was having no luck with his teeth either.
"This is sooo humiliating! And I have a quiditch game! I can't play like this!"
Remus came walking into the boys' lavatory. He snickered.
"Oh shut up, Moony! I can't believe she didn't get you too!"
"She almost did, but luckily I saw what effect the pumpkin juice had on you before I drank it."
"Pumpkin juice?! AHHH! I can't even eat my breakfast without having to worry about that little Viper!" Sirius yelled.
"Hey! Watch it, Padfoot!" James said in a sharp tone.
"Oh yes master...what ever you say, I must never insult the Frosted witch."
"Oh come off it!"
"YOU come off it!"
"Shut up! Both of you!" Remus stepped between the two friends before they could bring up their fists. "Don't start turning on each other now." Then he turned around and headed to the loo.
"We just have to get smarter..." Sirius said to James.
"Yeah but what?" asked James.
"You blokes are aware that they will only strike back at you again right? Just knock it off all ready!" said Remus.
"Oh easy for you to say, Moony!" Sirius growled "You're not the one with pink chomps!"
"I'm not the one who cursed the girls' showers!" Remus growled back "You two started it and you both know it!"
"Which gives us all the more right to finish it!" said James.
"Ya know, Evans is not going to go out with you, if you keep this up, Prongs. Don't you want too woo her?"
"Well yeah but I wont be humiliated in the process. War now, Woo later."
"Aye..." Remus sighed as he finished his business.

"Oh Happy day!" Lily said in a sing song voice as she and her friends walked across the grass near the lake. It was a very lovely afternoon so they decided to do their homework outside and cool their feet in the lake.
"I bet those marauders are still trying to get the pink off!" said Emily as they sat down.
"Oh it will come off eventually...in a week or two..." said Sam and the girls laughed.
Lily started removing her shoes and socks. "You think they'll stop pestering us?"
"I doubt it...we have to be especially careful. Now that they have the cape back..."
"Hey!" said Lily cutting Emily off "I think that should be out main focus right now...getting that cape! Imagine what we could do!"
"You sure you want to go for it?" Sam asked, dipping her feet in the cool water.
"Sure! Why not? Even if we don't use it, it will only do us good. The boys would never be able to sneak up on us!"
"True...Alright count me in." Sam nodded.
"Me too." Said Emily "I'd sleep better, knowing that those blokes won't be sneaking into the showers again." she cringed at the memory of those terrible worms!
"Brilliant!" Lily smiled. "Now for potions homework..."
"What chapter were we on again?" Emily asked as she flipped through the pages of her potions book.
"15. Now, we added the hornet's wings, and we need to add 16 black widow spiders' legs. Sam you're taking notes right? Sam?" Lily turned to the raven haired girl to find her staring towards the castle.
"Hello anyone home?" Emily laughed. "Come on what are you looking at?"
They followed her gaze to see her brother Severus, but they both realized it wasn't him Sam was staring at. It was who he was talking too. Lucius Malfoy, the most popular Slytherin in Hogwarts!
"Sam!" Lily said once she realized she was looking at.
"What?"
"Are you crazy? Malfoy? No way!"
"Oh come on, Lils. Even you got to admit, he's incredibly hansom..."
"Well sure, but he's also a snob."
"Sam, he's sort of out of your league." said Emily, now also staring at the slick haired Slytherin. "He's a different house, not to mention a year ahead of you. Every girl in his year is after him."
"Hey I got connections! My brother knows him..."
"Oh come on! He's too protective..." said Lily.
"I have as fair a shot as any Slytherin girl!" said Sam. "I always know what I want!" she smiled.
"I'm telling you, your nuts..." said Emily.
"I'm going to talk to him." Sam got up.
"WHAT!!!" both her friends said at the same time.
"Are you crazy?! Sam you'll be crucified!" Lily said tugging on Sam's dress.
"Watch me!" Sam laughed and ran up to the castle, still in her bare feet. Severus and Lucius were hanging out against the castle wall with a few other Slytherin boys. Sam was always daring and often found herself in situations where she knew she shouldn't be. This possibly could have been one of them. But that wouldn't stop her. It was Saturday so she wasn't wearing her school robes. She wore a sleeveless blue sundress. She waltzed up bravely to the group of boys, not showing one once of shyness. "Hi guys."
Lily and Emily watched from afar amazed at what they saw. Sam smiled and talked to the group as if it was the easiest thing in the world for her. It wasn't like a girl in any other house to walk up to a group of Slytherin boys. But since one happened to be Sam's brother, the girls supposed that made a little more sense. What really amazed them however was how Sam came on to Lucius so quickly! By the smile on her face, they knew she was flirting with him.
"She has more nerve than a fox in a hen house!" Emily said as she watched.
"And he's falling for it, look at him!" Lily said as she watched Malfoy laugh, no doubt at her friend's witty tongue.
Sam flipped her long dark hair back as she turned and walked back to where her friends were waiting.
"I can't believe you did that!" Emily whispered, but she was smiling.
"So what happened?! What did you say?" Lily asked.
"I told him you how hansom you thought he was..." Sam said casually.
"WHAT?!!!" Lily nearly shouted.
"Just kidding, I'm kidding!" Sam held up her hands to protect herself. "No, I asked him to go to Hogsmead with me, next weekend."
"And...?" her friends urged her to go on.
Sam smiled and rolled her eyes "Honestly, what boy in his right mind would turn ME down?"
"EEEEEEE!!!" they all squeeked.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Come on, you guys. Potions project is due in a week!"
Remus had been trying to convince his friends all afternoon to concentrate on their school work for once instead of the girls.
"Relax, Moony. We know what to do, we'll get it done..." Sirius assured him.
"Yes, sure...when exactly?"
As they continued down the hall they past a group of Slytherin girls who were all huddled together and talking. They were about to pass them by but something they said caught their attention.
"Snape! Can you believe it?!" said one girl.
"That Ravenclaw?" said another.
"Yeah, the grease-head's sister!" said the first.
Sirius was especially interested now and the three boys stood around the corner to listen in.
"That's right, she's got a date with him next weekend!"
"What?!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"The nerve of that little tramp! Its not enough she has the Ravenclaw and Griffindor boys. She has to steal ours too!"
The three hidden boys exchanged looks. Samantha Snape with a Slytherin?
"And that's not all...I heard (and from a very reliable sorce) that she walked straight up to Lucius and started kissing him!"
"What?!"
"Yes, in front of everyone!"
"Oh my gosh!"
Sirius heard enough he turned and headed down the corridor. James followed him as did Remus. "I think I know how to get back at that little crow-head....."
"What are you talking about?" asked Remus.
"We're going to make sure this is a date, Samantha Snape will never forget." Sirius said, smirking.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So you're going to go out with her?"
"Sure, why not?"
"Well, she IS a Ravenclaw. People are going to talk."
"Ah let them. I won't let them ruin my fun. I know what that saucy girl wants."
"And her brother?"
"You know what to do if he interferes."
"Right, Lucius."
