Lily ran up to the dorm in tears. "Why..." she asked herself. "I vowed that I would never like someone like... him." she said with a tone of disgust. "But when I look at his eyes, so full of caring and passion." she layed down on her bed and let out a loud sniffle.

"HELP!" yellled Veronica as she sprinted (well hobble-sprinted) into the room and hid behind Lily.

"What is it? The Bloody barron?" asked Lily as she wiped her tears.

"Worse! Sirius!" she chuckled. "Actually he is quite a laugh, in an odd way..."

"Oh." said Lily as she flung herself on the bed.

"What's wrong?" asked Veronica.

"I LOVE JAMES!" she yelled.

"Really?" asked Veronica as she cocked an eyebrow.

"Yeah." sniflled Lily. "What should I do?" she asked.

"Tell him." shrugged Veronica.

"Okay." said Lily as she gave Veronica a hug and ran out. Veronica shrugged and layed down on her bed,

Lily sprinted into the common room and saw Sirius kicking a piece of furniture, then holding his foot as he swore in agony.

"What's the matter?" asked Lily.

"Veronica." sighed Sirius as he slumped in the chair. "She hates me."

"No she doesnt. She actually finds you funny."

"Really?" asked Sirius.

"Yeah. Just go kiss her, words dont matter. In fact, they make you look even more stupid than usual." said Lily thoughtfully.

"Hmm...." though Sirius as he scratched his chin. "Thats a good idea Thanks Lils!" and with that he was gone, up the spiraling boy's dorm satircase.

Lily walked out of the portrait hole and bumped into someone.

"Sorry Remus." said Lily as she brushed herself off.

"Oh hi Lil." said Remus. "Where are you off to in such a hurry?" Lily looked at Remus and smiled slightly, his tie was loose, he had lipstick all over his face and his hair was an absolute mess.

"Gone off to find James." she said in a rushed voice.

"He was heading towards the owlery!" yelled Remus as she ran off in that direction.

"James?" Lily said softly, poking her head into the owlrey 5 minutes later. She saw the raven-haired boy standing there, stroking the feathers of his owl, Bojangles.

"Oh, hey Lily," James smiled. "What's up?"

Lily fidgeted with her fingers. "Oh, nothing. I was just looking for you."

"Come to confess your undying love?" smirked James.

Lily faltered. How did he know? Well, I can't do it now. She rolled her eyes. "In your dreams."

He smiled misheiviously. "Really? Well, what are you doing up here then?"

"To find you." She said. She made up a lie. "Er.. Sirius needs you in the Common Room... He, er, did something dumb again"

"What the hell could he have done this time? I hope it didnt involve those darn Lucky Charms..." James said as he patted Bojangles once more and began to head to the door.

"James! Wait!" Lily suddenly said.

"Yeah?" he replied, looking back.

"Throw caution to the wind." Lily thought as she stepped near James. They stared into each other's eyes and Lily felt this was it. She reached up, pulled his head down by his shirt collar, and kissed him square on the lips. Quickly, his arms wrapped around her waist; they were the only thing holding her up. She felt very faint and couldn't even tell what was going on around her, all she knew was that she was kissing the one she used to hate, James Potter.

Finally, Lily broke away. "James," she breathed. "I love you."

"Me too." said James as she stared at her. "but then again, you already know that." he laughed

Just then, Devonny came rushing into the Owlery. James and Lily jumped away from each other.

"Hey, James can I borrow Bojangles?" asked Devonny breathlessly. "I forgot mum's birthday."

"Sure." said James as Devonny mailed her letter. "See you later." he added as he walked out, smiling.

Lily was still frozen on the spot where she and James were a minute ago. "Lils are you coming?" asked Devonny as she began to walk to the door.

"Yeah." said Lily as she walked alongside Dev.

"What were you two doing? Snogging?" laughed Devonny.

"Kinda..." blushed Lily. Devonny smiled at her.

"I thought you said you would never like him." said Devonny.

"Well, blame my heart not my brain." said Lily as Devonny giggled while they walked along the corridors and Lily explaijned every little detail of her kiss.

Veronica eventually came down from the dorms and was now sitting around in the common room, bored.

"Hey Veronica." said Sirus as he walked down grom the dorms and sat next to her.

"Um, hi." she said as she stood up and tried to hobble away, but he held her wrist and pulled her face to his."What the-" she began but his lips crashed into hers and they began kissing before she could finish. She didnt object.

Devonny and Lily walked into the common room talking, but silenced immediatley when they saw Veronica and Sirius making out on the couch.

"Okay then" said Lily as she and Dev turned on their heels and walked back out, leaving the two innocent snoggers alone.

After that very eventful day, the week following flew by quickly. Their first Hogsmeade visit was in one day, and everyone was making their last minute plans.

That night at dinner, James came over to where Lily, Veronica, Tori, Adele and Devonny were.

"Hey Lily." said James with his trademark smile as he rumpled his hair.

"Hi." smiled Lily. "What do you want? I mean, you put on that lady-killer smile."

"Can't I just come over to say hi to my girlfriend without wanting something?" asked James as he gave her a hug.

"Um, no. What do you need?" asked Lily.

"Hogsmeade is tomorow. Still coming with me?" asked James.

"We can meet up, but the girls and I are going for a while." said Lily.

"Actually...." said Devonny. "I promised Remus. Sorry." she wispered.

"We have plans.." said Tori as she and Adele went over to say hi to their Fifth year Huflepuff boyfriends.

"I am game." said Veronica. "Sirius hasnt even asked me to come or talked to1414ยช me since next week. Great now I am some kind of disposable girlfriend." said Veronica in an adgitaed way. "This is really pissing me off. You know what? I think I may like being single." said Veronica as she walked over to Sirius.

There was some talking, then yelling, then slapping. Then, a really loud, "We are THROUGH!" Veronica scowled and stomped back.

"Go put your friend in line." snapped Veronica at James as she started munching on some pork chops. "He thinks he can hook up with a girl, then ignore them for a week! I will show him."

"Okay. See you later." said James as he waved and departed.

"Lils you should go with him. I can find someone else to chill with." said Veronica.

"I couldnt leave you." said Lily.

"You can and you will, because I will have someone to go with." said Veronica calmly as she walked over towards the Slytherin table.

"What are you doing?" asked Lily tentaively.

"You will see." smiled Veronica as she walked over to where Severus Snape was sitting.

"Hey Snivelly, take me to Hogsmeade tomorow. Pick me up at 11 am in front of Gryfindor tower, and dont be late." said Veronica.

"O-kay.." said Severus as he smiled a pathetic smile at her.

"Bye then." she said as she turned on her heel and walked back to her table.

"Did you just ask out... Snivelly?" asked Dev, eyes wide open in shock.

"Yea." said Veronica as she shot an evil glare at Sirius.

Sirius walked over. "Look I am sorry, I should have alked to you more or whatever. Will you come to Hogsmeade with me?" he asked as he put on puppy dog (haha) eyes.

"I have a date." sadi Veronica cooly.

"Who?" asked Sirius.

"Not that it is YOUR buisness, but I have arranged a very wonderful, charming man. And he wont kiss and run." said Veronica.

"Aka Snivelly." said Dev.

"You are going with him!" yelled Sirius.

"Yes yes now you can leave me." said Veronica. Sirius stomped off.

"Dont you feel bad a bout using him as a... red herring of sorts?" asked Lily.

"No." said Veronica simply as everyone headed out of dinner and went to bed. "He is probably thrilled just to have a date."

The next morning, Veronica dressed up in a short black skirt and purple fishnet tights. "HEY SNIVELLY!" she yelled as she saw him wearing his regular school robes. "Rules of dating me. No kissing, holding hands, touching or well, thats it." said Veronica as she smiled and they walked out of the school. Devonny and Remus met up, as did Lily and James. Sirius sloched off alone.

"So, where to first?" asked Lily.

"I have an outfit for the ball, but do you need one.?" asked James.

"Yeah." said Lily.

"I can get you one." said James as they walked into the clothing store. Lily picked out a nice purple dress, and James almost choked on the gum he was chewing when she walked out of the changing room. She looked gorgeous.

Do you like it?" asked Lily as she spun around and looked at the mirror.

"I love it." said James as he walked over and put his arm around her. She turned into him, kissing him on the lips. She put her hands on the back of his head, and kissed him a little harder.

"Ahem." Lily jumped and turned around to see the pissed off store clerkstanding there, tapping her foot at them. "Does the dress fit?" she asked.

"Oh, er, yes it does." said Lily as she pulled away from James.

"Ok." said the salesclerk as she walked out. Lily and James both burst out laughing.

"Well I think we'd better go now." said Lily as she walked into the changing room to put her regular clothes back on.

Remus and Devonny were sitting around in the deserted park, eating ice cream.

"Hey, you have ice cream on your face." said Devonny.

"Where?" asked Remus.

"Right here." said Devonny sweetly as she wiped some vanilla off of his cheek and pulled him in for a kiss. Veronica and Severus walked by the two snoggers.

"This is boring." sighed Veronica as she stared longingly at Sirius, who was sitting nearby.

"Wanna go to the get ice cream?" asked Snape.

"Whatever." said Veronica as she stared at Sirius again. "I will meet you there." said Veronica as she walked over to him. "This seat taken?"

"No." said Sirius without looking up from his book.

"It must take some real talent to read a book upside down." said Veronica as she took the book from Sirius and turned it right side up.

"Look I really am sorry." he said. "I really do love you and-" he began, but she put a finger on his lips to silence him.

"Talking. It makes you look like a total idiot." smiled Veronica as she grabbed his hand. "I can learn to fergive and forget. Besides, Snivelly smeels bad and you dont." Severus walked back over.

"Sorry Snivelly, I have to dump you." Veronica said cheerfully. "That is, if we were even a couple....."

"You are dumping me for him??" asked Severus.

"Pretty much." she said.

"You are dumping me for this prick??" he asked.

"What did you call me?" asked Sirius as he stood up and cracked his knuckles.

"I'll cal you whatever I want." said Severus.

"Dont think so!" said Sirius as he punched Snape. Snape punched back, and soon a fistfight started.

Lily and James came running over. "Whats going on?" they asked in unison.

"Well..." trilled Veronica. "I have two men fighting over my affections. I go from so called goth to most wanted item in a month flat."

"Is that Snivelly and.... Sirius?" asked Remus as he and Devonny ran over.

"Yup." smiled Veronica. "I love him. You should have seen the pissed off look on his face, oh this was all so worth it."

"You relly like to mess with people, don't you?" asked James.

"Yeah." sighed Veroica. "But now he will appreciate me more. Treat em mean to keep em keen"

"Nice boy theory, but what about Prince Charming?" asked Lily.

"He smelled, and he called me baby. It was scary bananas." replied Veronica as she polished her black nail on her shirt.

"Should we try to stop them?" asked Devonny, pointing at the two fightig boys.

"Nah." said the others.

When the dust finally settled, after 5 or so minutes of cheering, Snivelly was unconscious.

"We have a winner!" said Veronica as she went over to hug Sirius.

"Sorry a thousand times." said Sirius.

"Apology accepted... for now." smiled Veronica as he put an arm around her. The three couples walked off back to town, leaving the unconscious dumpee.

"Should we tell someone?" asked Devonny, taking a quick look back.

"No, look some Ravenclaws are going to save him." said Remus as some fifth year girls from Ravenclaw house ran over to Severus and threw oranges at him.

"Okay, so Lils you want to go get some coffee with me?" asked James.

"Sure." said Lily as they walked away hand in hand.

"They honestly are the perfect couple. Popular quidditch player and most wanted girl." sighed Veronica. "The here I am, the little punk princess."

"Hey I am a popular quidditch player too!" said Sirius.

"And you are most wanted! Snivelly loves you." said Sirius.

"Right. I can just put that tramatizing incident behind me and I will be okay." sighed Veronica.

"Hey Vee you wanna go shopping?" asked Devonny. "We still have to get dresses and decide on makeup styles."

"Sure. Se you later guys." shrugged Veronica as she gave Sirius a peck on the cheek and walked off.

"I am a natural babe magnet." said Sirius. "And I won the bet."

"Wow, I guess you actually did." said Remus as they walked into Honeydukes sweet shop.

While in the shop, they began discussing, what else but, girls.

"Should I tell Dev my secret? I mean she is getting suspicious about where I go every month." said Remus with a worried look. "She has dropped subtle hints about it..."

"Mabey. Not unless she corners you and bombards you with questions." said Sirius. Remus nodded.

"What are you gonna do about your girl?" he asked.

"So, I was gonna surprise Veronica with some candy, and a pick up line." said Sirius cheerfully as he picked out some chocolate.

"Please no." said Remus.

"It will be better this time, because we are actually going out." said Sirius, full of determination.

"Those pick up lines never work." frowned Remus as they payed and walked out. "She will just dump you again, and mabey even slap you. I dont think your ego or your skin can take that."

"Yeah." said Sirius dreamily. "WAIT! I mean no. They DO work!."

Meanwhile in the girl dress store...

"Does my butt look big in this one?" asked Devonny as she tried on a blue dress while twirling infront of a mirror.

"Yes, but thats what boys want. Besides it brings out your eye color." said Veronica lazily as she blew a bubble with her gum.

"What dress are you wearing?" asked Devonny.

"I have already got it, so it's all good." smiled Veronica.

"Oooer is it the one with the red rose?" asked Devonny.

"No." said Veronica.

"The pink and black one?" asked Devonny.

"But of course." said Veronica. "I was going for morbid punk princess with attitude who can actually find a boyfriend."

"Well you definitly hit the mark then." said Devonny as she licked her finger, put it on her butt, and made a sizzle noise.

Later in the common room, Devonny and Veronica were sitting chatting and painting each others nails. Remus and Sirius walked in.

"Whats cookin good lookin?" asked Sirius as he jumped on the couch next to Veronica and showed her the chocolate.

"Is that the best line you can think of?" asked Veronica with a sly smile.

Sirius thought for a moment, but instead of speaking he put on his ever so famous lady killer smile. She sighed and pulled him into a kiss.

"Never fails, the smile, does it?" smiled Remus.

"No it doesnt. But I have to ask, where do you go every month?" asked Devonny.

"Erm.... welll.... it might make you dump me." said Remus.

"Are you gay?" asked Devonny with a frown.

"No." said Remus.

"Are you... a girl?"

"Not the last time I checked."

"Have HIV ro AIDS or soemthing like that?"

"Nah, I use protection to prevent that."

"Good.... Hm... are you a bat?"

"No I am a werewolf." said Remus shyly.

"Oh." gasped Devonny. "No wonder you give such good lovebites!"

"So you still want to be my girlfriend?" he asked.

"Always." she said as she pulled him into a kiss. "Just don't bite too hard..."

James and Lily then walked into the common room and saw the snoggers.

"Monkey see monkey do?" asked James as he wiggled his eyebrows.

"Monkey's gonna dump you." smirked Lily. "Just kidding." she smiled as she gave him a soft kiss on the lips. "But I have to go to bed now."

"How bout you come to my bed?" he asked.

"No, good try thought." said Lily as they both walked up opposite staircases.

Eventually, Veronica and Devonny finished kissing their boyfrinds and went off to the girls common room to get some sleep. But, there was a scraping sound on the window. Veronica looked over to see pebbles hitting the window pane.

"GAAAH! GREEN JELLYBEANS ATTACKING AGAIN!" yelled Veronica hoarsley. But, she shuffled out of bed and saw Sirius standing outside the window, beckoning for her to come.

"Honestly. It's romantico but don't boys ever get tired of snogging?" Veronica asked herself as she threw a blanket out the window and slid down. She ran out of slack and toppled on top of Sirius. Veronica pushed some of the hair out of his face, expecting to kiss her boyfriend, but-

"SNIVELLY!!!!!!!!" yelled Veronica as she scampered away and leaned against a wall.

"Hi." he said. "I love you."

"Back away! I have pepper spray!" yelled Veronica as she whipped out the can and sprayed herself in the face. "OW!"

"Erm." said Severus as he stood dumbfounded.

"Killops." muttered Veronica as she pointed her wand at her eyes and rubbed them. "Look, I dont love you, I actually used you, thats besides the point, but there are plenty of fish in the sea." said Veronica desperatley trying to avoid a budding romance.

"I dont eat fish." said Severus.

"Okay, there are plenty of snakes in the sea."

"Snakes don't live in the sea."

"OK there are plenty of snakes in the pet shop so go buy one." said Veronica. "Or you can find snakes in other boys pants if you want to be that way..." she added in an irritated way as she climbed back up into her dorm with a disgusted look on her face. Severus shrugged and went back into the castle.

The next morning, the usual six seventh year Griffindors walked to breakfast, and on the way they ran into Lucius Malfoy and his sneering girlfriend, Narcissia Black.

"Hey look its the mudblood girls and the famous quidditch stars." said Malfoy.

"At least I can get a decent looking, I mean really hot girlfriend." said Sirius. Veronica smirked.

"You are a pureblood. Why are you mingling with this filthy American mudblood?" asked Malfoy. "Especialy a goth like her."

"I am not a goth!" yeled Veroinca as she lunged at him, but she was held back by Devonny.

"At least I am not fat like you." sneered Narcissa.

"Well, you will probably need a microscope to find Lucius's -"

"Veronica." said Lily in shock, cutting her off.

"I was gonna say brain." Veronica sighed.

"No you weren't said Devonny.

"Hey, you're right." she laughed slightly.

"A monkey can come up with better insults." pouted Narcissia.

"Well shoot then. You are certainly enough like one." reatliated Veronica.

Narcissia sneered and punched Veronica in the face. Devonny let go of Veronica as she jumped on Narcissia and began punching back.

"Catfight, rawr." said Remus as he watched Veronica ultimatley kick the shit out of Narcissia.

Just then, Professor Lavalus walked by. "Fighting, eh Skyy? Why don't you and those wonderful green jellybeans come to detention." he said as he walked away.

"You would be tramatized too if someone threw them mercilessly at you!" yelled Veronica as she scrambled to her feet and wiped her bloody nose on the sleeve of her robes.
