Who Likes Who

After eating dinner- which was a good 2 hours later considering that everyone was talking- and a few more pranks, they once again head back to Gryffindor tower.

"Well, we best be going to sleep seeing as how we got quidditch practice planned out for tomorrow morning." Sirius says yawning already.

"Just out of curiosity, what time do you have your morning practice?" Katie asks.

"Around 7:00 A.M. I wouldn't dare make it earlier! How am I supposed to wake up and play well if it's any earlier?" James replies.

"See that Oliver!" Katie says tugging on his sleeve. "7:00! Not 5 or 6 in the morning. Even he said that you can't possibly wake up or play well in that hour!"

"Hey, I for one think that it's an appropriate time-" Oliver says once again in quidditch mode.

Rolling their eyes, they urge the others towards the portrait again before waving off to the Marauders.

"Wow George, that was something wasn't it? We actually spent time with the Marauders and it's only been 5 hours since we've been here and we've already learned around 10 spells!"

"By the way, where are we going?" Angelina says exhausted after rounding again on another corner.

"Keep your knickers on Angie- on second thought, nevermind" Fred says playfully and thus receiving several scoldings from her which includes "Perverted freak!".

Finally stopping in front of a large tapestry on the wall, the twins move it aside before tapping their wands on it. Instantly, a door appears and they lead everyone in. Inside, it's pitch dark but soon enough, several candles light the room revealing what looked was a replica Gryffindor common room they had except larger with the couches and armchairs even bigger.

"Wow, what's this place?" Alicia says moving to the bookcase.

"It's the Room of Requirements" one of the twins reply in a matter-of-factly manner.

"I never knew there was a room that looked exactly like the common room." Ange says in awe.

"Well actually, it can look anyway you want it to. It really just depends who's in it. If you think hard enough, it'll change to what you want to appear."

"Well, I'm tired. I think the girls should take the left side of the room and the boys on the right." Katie says, dragging her to friends with her on their side.

"Hey that's not fair!" Oliver says pointing at the girls.

"Why not Captain?"

"That's side's got all the chairs and couches plus it includes the fireplace! All we got is just this wall with the bookcase!"

Smiling smugly, Ange flops down on the couch looking at the boys. "Well it's not our fault, we claimed it first."

"But-"

Suddenly a 15 minute argument starts between the party of 6.

"Okay fine." Katie said dismissively. "We'll just divide the space in front of the fireplace, that way you also get a couple of chairs and couches- but the girls still get the left side!"

Smiling, the twins and Oliver move towards the right side of the fireplace, tugging along a couch and 2 armchairs.

"So Alicia, you seemed to enjoy very much the discussion you were having with Professor Lupin" Ange comments smirking at the flushed face of her friend.

"Well, we did have a compelling discussion on the curative potion in opposition to the restorative charm." She replies timidly before transfiguring a book into a blanket.

"Aww, you two were so cute together!" Katie replies before getting hit by a pillow. "Anyway," she says before flopping down on the carpet. "I think I sorta have a crush on James."

"James!" the two girls yell out loudly causing the guys to look at them weirdly.

After glaring at her two best friends, Katie nods remembering how wonderful he looked a while ago during dinner.

"Well since we're all confessing here, I also have something to tell" Ange says grinning sheepishly.

"Let me guess…it's Peter isn't it?" Alicia says jokingly.

Looking appalled, Angelina retorts. "No! Actually it's Sirius."

"Ooh!"

Laughing at themselves for having these crushes, they all attract the 2 misfits.

"So, we take it that you girls are having a good time here." They smile smugly remembering earlier how the girls wanted out.

"Yeah actually. We have to thank you guys though for bringing us here. I must say it's one of the most ingenious things you two have ever done."

"Why thank you Miss Bell!" they say bowing close to the ground.

"Well, good night. See you tomorrow!"

And with that, the lights all extinguish as soon as the 6 are all fast asleep.

"Now see, you have to precisely aim at the target before casting the spell" Remus says pointing his wand directly at the tree.

Imitating him, the twins aim also towards their own trees before shouting out "Igaynitium"

While the 3 were practicing, James, Oliver, and Sirius were in a heated discussion over quidditch. The two team captains were exchanging team plays while discussing their members.

"Well I think that having girls as chasers is very effective seeing as how they can move more stealthily than men."

"Actually, I would have thought that they were nice for other reasons, but that still does make sense." James says considering this.

"Yes, well take Katie for example. She's perfect for chaser seeing as her long arms allow her to grasp for the ball easier and her figure doesn't offer much wind resistance." Oliver muses as he watches her and the other girls talking on the other side of the lake.

"Hey James, maybe you should ask Lily, that way if she's on the team you'll get to see her all the time. Plus we'll have more practices so we can get better- but it's not like we'll need it" Sirius comments as he uses another stick to poke the giant squid.

"Maybe I will" James looks thoughtful for a while before continuing his discussion.

"Hey there, do you mind if I join?" a familiar red head approaches the group of girl sitting by the banks of the lake.

"No, it's okay Lily" Alicia says beckoning the girl over.

"So, do you have a thing for out dear Ollie?" Katie says casually though inside she's been really dying to know- hey it wasn't only Oliver who noticed how she looked at him!

Taken a back, she replies "Of course not" a little too quickly making it even more obvious. Mentally kicking herself Lily tries not to blush. 'Good going, make it even more obvious than it already is'

"It's okay." Alicia says reassuringly. "You don't have to deny it, everyone's been thru the Oliver stage- even us!"

"Well…" she says slowly, contemplating whether or not to. "I guess I do…fancy him a tiny bit." Turning into a shade of red that could put her hair to shame.

"Yeah, well our Oliver is quite the looker, but still…" Katie says trailing off, looking at the boys.

Following her gaze, Lily looks back at her amazed who she was staring at. "You like…Potter? As in James Potter?!"

"Well…uhm…"

Smiling widely, she moves closer to Katie. "Well at least if you end up with him, he'll be off my back."

"Yeah well, we'll be probably be gone before anything can happen." Suddenly, her hands fly over to her mouth realizing she had just let something slip.

"You'll be gone?" Lily asks confused at what's going on.

"Well, you see…"

"Basically the twins found a way to send us back in time and so here we are. And of course since we will be needing to go back, well, we will be gone." Ange says nonchalantly stretching under the suns glaring rays.

'Back in time? Go back?' Lily's head's swimming with a million questions but only one had escaped her lips. "So you're from…the future?"

Looking at each other, 3 heads nod in return. "Well…uhm…that was not…expected."

Smiling weakly, the girls all just somehow continue their discussion about the boys.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey Prongs, I just thought of a way you could get Lily!" Sirius says looking excited as they burst thru their dorm.

"What is it Padfoot?" James asks before falling on his bed.

"Well, since Katie's just a new member of your fan club, maybe you could date her to you know…make Lily jealous."

"Since when was Katie a member of my fan club?- though it isn't hard to imagine seeing as how we Marauders are naturally charming." He adds as an after thought.

"Well the twins said they overheard her last night. C'mon Prongs! If it doesn't work, then at least you got to date a really pretty girl, right? Add that to experience"

Changing into his pajamas, James thinks about it for a while. 'Hmm…make her jealous? Oh well anything is worth it so I can just really know her true feelings of love for me. Woah, I should tell Sirius to stop buying those witch magazines, we can always find another way to know what girls think about'

"Maybe I will" he says before pulling on the hangings around his bed.

"So Wood, seeing as how you can't keep your eyes of Kates, we have an idea on how you and her could end up together." The twins say waving a hand in front of their team captain. (a/n: Oliver already told the twins before about him fancying her)

"Oh? Uh, what's your plan?" he says trying his best not to once again look at the blonde across the room.

"Well, we were thinking that you should, you know…make her jealous…"

"Why would I do that?"

"Elementary my dear Wood," The twins say while pacing around their spot in a very Sherlock Holmes manner. "By making her jealous, she'll realize her real feelings towards you."

'For once the twins have an idea that's actually logical' "Maybe that'll actually work"

"Of course it'll work!" Fred says clapping Oliver's back.

"Yeah, we made it remember?" George finishes off joining the two.

Uh-oh, trouble in the future? Hmmm....
