A/N: CELEBRATE! It is I! And back with a new chapter. Hey, it hasn't been THAT long...only a few months or so...Anyway, just read the stupid chapter and review! Oh yeah, if you like, go check out my new story "Seriously Sirius". Beffy liked it, hope you guys will too Its got a lot more humor in it, and less drama.

Back inside the hall everything was starting to pack up. Still, Jake hadn't returned and Kiara was getting fed up of everything, releasing her anger slowly. The remaining Marauders decided to hit the hay and retreat back to the common room, suspecting Jake was sulking up there. Silently, they climbed up the towering stairs until Anthony piped up. "Y'know, I honestly thought being my character would be fun"

Scott glanced down at the chubby little boy next to him and grinned. "Well, if it means being a werewolf, traitor or claimed to be a mass murderer..."

"Speaking of which, when ARE we going to get out of here?" Kiara interrupted in a rude sort of tone.

Scott narrowed his eyes on Kiara. "Well, if you want to get your ass into the library and figure out a way to get out of here"

"I would if I actually "understood" anything about magic..." Kiara growled as she turned around to fully face Scott. The two were around the same height, and it wasn't often when two Marauders had a disagreement.

"And you think I'm an expert? Well, how about a little thing called trying, Kiara?"

"Are you saying I don't do anything?"

"Well, now that I think about it, I guess you have Lazy written all over you"

"I may be a girl, but I could kick your ass Scott!"

"Bring it on then"

"Guys..." Anthony said quietly, grabbing their attentions as they looked left, faces inches away from each other at a bunch of staring Ravenclaws. The group were all females, and were staring at the two like they had just grown a second head. The two quickly moved away from each other and Kiara suddenly darted down the hall and out of site. In result, Scott and Anthony were left with to do the explaining.

"Uh...It's a joke, y'know...Sirius as a girl...I like to call myself scott..." Scott failed tried desperately to cover up their little outburst.

The girls glanced at each other, burst into a fit of giggles and carried on down the hall. The second they turned the corner, Scott smacked Anthony around the back of his head.

"Oww!" Anthony yelped as he rubbed the back of his head, jumping out of arm reach away form Scott. "What was th-"

"Why didn't you tell us?" Scott hissed through gritted teeth as they continued their walk back to the common room, the most likely place were Kiara pranced off too. "They could go off telling the whole fricken school we're insane!"

"Yeah, well all the better reason to get out of here quicker..." Anthony muttered. And at that comment, the two returned silently to the common room.

The girls were having a more pleasant time. Alexis and Katie had cheered up Emma very well and she was now smiling brightly without another tear in sight. Katie and Alexis were happily sharing old times with Emma pretending to remember them and laugh at all the stupid things they had done together.

"..And then Morgan came in she practically screamed!" Alexis grinned while Katie snorted with laughter after retelling the tale when they Alexis flooded the Girls Dorms with toads. "Then she claimed one of them broke her hairbrush, god, what a drama queen" Katie added on after she calmed down a bit.

Emma smiled at the two as they trio turned walked down the hall when Ashley came towards them. Katie and Alexis exchanged glances and moved away for what they thought was Severus. Hesitating, Emma gave Ashley a worried glance, but Ashley vainly ignored her. "I need you to come with me"

"Whoa whoa whoa..." Alexis butted in, moving Emma a step back away from Ashley "She's not going anywhere with you..."

"It's important" Ashley snarled at Alexis. Katie backed off straight away, but Alexis stood her ground. "Look Snivellus, Leave us alone" Alexis hissed back.

"No, Lexi, if it's important..." Emma cut in, stepping away from Alexis. Alexis stared at Emma in some confusion for a moment before turning away. "Scream if he tries anything dodgy"

Ashley and Emma waited till Alexis and Katie had left around the hall corner, Alexis looking over her shoulder at the two before they disappeared when Ashley grabbed Emma's left arm and pulled her down the hall. Emma glanced at Ashley with worry, but Ashley signaled her to be quiet as they turned around the corridor.

"It's Jake..." Ashley started, keeping her voice low for any passer bys. "And he's not looking good"

"What's happened?" Emma asked, trying not to let the panic show in her tone of voice. "He was fine when I saw him at the ball...then he stormed off and..."

"He's in the hospital wing now," Ashley continued, trying to waste as least time as possible. "I think you should go see him, more of the story is being discovered and it looks like its not going to be easy to defeat..."

Emma frowned, confused by Ashley's words, but once again Ashley continued before she could speak. "Go, now. Meet me tomorrow in the dungeons, bring the others"

Ashley spun around on her heels and darted down the corridor and out of site leaving Emma filled with many questions and different emoticons.

A/N: Muahaha, A cliffy. I really don't understand why this story is so great...Now I need to sit and think up ideas how to end this thing -.-
