"HEY! Where the fuck is the remote?!?" yelled Veronica from her sitting position on her bed.

"No clue." said Devonny with a smile.

"I know you hid it, so tell me where it is and nobody gets hurt." said Veronica exasperatedly.

"You guys are so immature." groaned Tori as she got up and clicked on the tv.

"Thank you!" said Veronica gleefully as she materialized some popcorn with her wand and began to munch and stare at the screen.

"People tend to act differently when totally absorbed in something." said Adele from over the top of a magazine. "Observe. Hey Veronica, is the bank closed?"

"For you it always has been and always will be." Veronica mumbled as she shoved some popcorn in her mouth. "I am not totally absorbed, now leave me alone so I can watch the damn TV or I am gonna turn your tongue polka dotted and wrap it around your head in high hopes that you suffocate."

"A tad on the violent side, but ok." smiled Lily. "So, where is Cris?"

"In the Ravenclaw dorms with her boyfriend." said Tori.

"No, I am here!" said Cris as she rushed into the Gryffindor dorms. "I wouldn't miss Sunday night madness TV for the world!

"How is Joshie-poo?" asked Adele in a baby voice.

"YOU READ MY SECRET LOVE LETTERS?" yelled Cris.

"Er... no I just kinda made that up." said Adele.

"Oh." sighed Cris as she twirled a strand of her long blonde hair in her fingers.

"How do you get your hair to be so perfect everyday?" asked Tori.

"I am part veela." said Cris, looking extremely smug.

"That may explain the natural, compulsive urge to flirt with anything that moves and have seven boyfriends a month." said Veronica.

"I have been together with Josh for 3 weeks now." cried Cris.

"A new record! Inform the Daily Prophet!" said Veronica sarcastically with a hint of fake amusement.

"At least I have a bf." said Cris as she crossed her arms.

"Ha, like I want a pain in the ass guy following me around and trying to sleep with me. I'd say the stress of school is enough without a boyfriend.

"I need a boyfriend." said Devonny as she furrowed her brow in thought.

"Why? You are a smart, independent woman and you don't need a man to complete you." said Lily wisely.

"You could be one of those crap psychiatrists who makes up junk and gives people dumb advice in magazine columns. I hear they get paid a lot." said Tori.

"That psycho mumbo jumbo may work for you people, but I was always such a goody too shoes and now I have this bad girl side that wants to break out!" yelled Devonny as she briefly stood up on her knees before plopping back down on the bed.

"So turn goth and beat the shit out of lower classmen like Vee does." shrugged Adele.

"I am not goth, I am punk. P-U-N-K!" said Veronica distastefully. "Punk, goth. Get the stereotypes right."

"We should really get to bed, there are lessons tomorrow." yawned Lily in an attempt to break up the budding fight.

"All right, this episode is a rerun anyway." said Veronica as she pushed Adele off her bed. "See you in the morning."

"Okay, goodnight, pleasant dreams." said Adele as she got up off the ground and turned off the TV.

the bank is closed translates to no kissing/making out

"So." said Sirius as the three Marauders walked back through the halls. "Are we still on for the detention competition this year, Prongs?"

"I really shouldn't, I am head boy." said James.

"Awe, come on!" pleaded Sirius. "The only other person who has a chance to beat my record of 110 is Remus, and he is such a goody goody."

"I am not a goody goody. I do bad and rebellious things all the time." said Remus.

"Like...?" prompted Sirius.

"Er... like the time I.. He look, we are here already." said Remus as they walked up to the portrait of the Fat Lady, the entrance to Gryffindor Common Room. "Boy am I tired, gonna go hit the sack now." said Remus as he said the password and sprinted up the stairs. By the time James and Sirius got there, he was already fake-sleeping.

"If we want to seriously find Peter, we should go to Dumbledore." said James.

"We will go tomorrow after breakfast, and then mabey we can miss most of whatever class we have." said Sirius as he stifled a yawn.

"All right." said James as he took off his glasses and laid down on his bed.

The next morning, James, Sirius, and Remus walked into breakfast and saw Veronica, Lily, and Devonny.

"Ladies!" said Sirius as he eagerly sat next to Veronica. James and Remus took their seats next to Lily and Devonny.

"We have Care of Magical Creatures first today." said Lupin as he looked at his class schedule.

"We are with the Slytherins AGAIN! More Snivelly torturing!" said Sirius with the glee of a little kid on Christmas as he read the schedule over Lupin's shoulder. "Then Divination, History of Magic... and last we have Potions, yeah! Again with the Slytherins and Snivellus!"

"Aren't you guys ever going to lay off him?" asked Lily.

"Hm... Nah." said James nonchalantly.

"You know-" began Lily, but Narcissia interjected. She stood over the Gryffindors next to her one and only friend, Nat.

"Just give it up, the day they stop fighting will come as soon as someone finds a cure for ugliness, and that is not likely to happen anytime soon. Sorry Veronica you just have to walk around like that for your whole life." said Narcissia.

"Good one." said Nat from her side. Natalie had long, wavy brown hair and brown eyes. She was in Ravenclaw for her amazing brain, but because of close family ties, was best friend of Narcissia.

"Wow you are not as loopy and retarded as normal. Remember, there are sober kids in India, so drink all of your hard liquor. Then you can get lured into bed by your lovely bf Lucius." smirked Veronica.

"Very funny. Why don't you go off and make a voodoo doll or whatever it is you goths do in your spare time." retorted Narcissia. Veronica narrowed her eyes, clenched her fists and began to stand, but Lily stopped her.

"I am not GOTH! ITS PUNK! GET IT RIGHT!" said Veronica angrily as she tried to break free from Lily's grip.

"What the hell do you want with our lives anyway?" asked James exasperatedly.

"Basically I just came to gloat about my perfectness." smiled Narcissia as she flipped her long, slightly wavy platinum blonde hair and batted her long eyelashes.

"Of course you are perfect. And may I complement your huuuuuge, unnaturally sized pimple. It looks great on your bony nose." said Lily cooly. "And it is disturbing the hormonally balanced of us here, so please remove of it."

"AAAH!" shrieked Narcissia as she hid her face quickly, and turned on her heel to run to the bathrooms.

"She was just joking!" yelled Nat as Narcissia ran off. "Well I better go try to get her to stop crying or she will be in there all day blubbering."

"Why do you hang out with her? I mean there are probably a billion better best friends than Narcissia Black." said Remus.

"Yeah you're right... but nobody in my house likes me much... and they ALL have boyfriends to hang out with." frowned Nat.

"Well find a bf then." said Veronica as if it was obvious.

"I have always fancied you, Remus.." said Nat softly.

"Er... sorry... I don't.. er feel that way.." replied Remus.

"FINE!" yelled Nat. "I WILL GET YOU, MARK MY WORDS!" she screamed as she ran out of the Great Hall laughing/crying like a maniac.

"All right then... we should start walking down to the Care of Magical Creatures paddock now." said Lily as she checked her watch.

"Oh, we have to visit Dumbledore." James reminded Sirius.

"C'mon! We have Care of Magical creatures... with the Slytherins! We cant let Snivelly get away without a bruised ego." said Sirius. "We can worry about Peter later."

"All right, you know I cant resist some good Snivelly torture." smiled James as he pounded fists with his best friend.

"Just nothing lethal like last year..." Remus trailed off as they walked out of the Great Hall.

"Owww my feet are killing me." whined Devonny as she hobbled down the long, sloping path to the Care of Magical Creatures paddock.

"I know it is warm out, but you probably shouldn't be wearing a short skirt and your highest heels." said Lily.

"Gotta impress the hot guys early on." smiled Devonny as she shot a hopeful glance over at where Sirius, James, and Remus were walking.

"Got the eye for one of the trouble makers, eh?" asked Adele as Tori came up beside her.

"Nah." said Dev with a devilish smile as the girls walked down to their lesson. "Just giving darting glances, to create a bit of a spark..." she said as she flicked some long brown hair out of her face. "Though they are pretty cute......"

"Sirius is such a goofball. Can't he ever be serious?" asked Veronica as she looked over at Sirius laughing hysterically.

"You totally have a crush on him." said Dev as she pulled out her lipstick and hastily put some on.

"No way." said Veronica with raised eyebrows.

"Yeah, you do. You just can't keep your eyes off him." said Lily.

"I don't like him. At all."

"You totally do." said Dev.

"No."

"Yeah."

"Well, mabey just a little bit." admitted Vee.

"Comparison. Like as much as you like the Sex Pistols, or as much as you like orange chicken?" said Lily.

"Sex Pistols....... and more than orange chicken." replied Veronica.

"It serious then." said Devonny and Lily in unison.

"Nah.." shrugged Veronica. "but I can admit that he is really hot." she smiled before the classed converged for their lesson.

The day passed slowly, and was fun filled with enormous amounts of homework, 2 detentions for Sirius, and lots and lots of Snivelly torture. At the end of their last lesson, Potions, Lily rushed off to the bathroom to wash some of the latest concoction off her hands. Her heels clicked on the floor and eerily echoed in the empty bathroom.

As Lily brushed some of her long, red hair out of her face and began to wash her hands, she heard a voice inaudibly say something.

"Who's there?" asked Lily as she turned around.

Silence.

She shrugged and continued washing her hands. She heard a creak and turned around to see a door hanging off the hinges.

"Ha. It's nothing, I'm letting my nerves get the best of me." Lily whispered to herself. As she turned around, she slipped on some water that was overflowing from the sink, banged her head on the marble sink, and passed out.
