Lily stepped lightly on the marble floors as she slipped into the dark Hospital wing. It was very late, and Madame Pomphrey had gone, leaving James alone. His injured arm was perfectly rejuvinated.

Lily crept over to his bed and sat on a small chair, picking his glasses off of the bedside table. "James," she whispered softly, giving him a small kiss on the cheek.

"Lily? Is that you?" asked James wearily.

"No, it's Madame Pomphrey, here to come rape her patient" said Lily sarcastically. James laughed and sat up as Lily placed the glasses on his face, her fingers gently grazing his cheek.

"What are you doing... it's 3 am?" grumbled James as he rubbed his eyes and glanced at the clock.

Lily tugged at James's good arm. "I am rescuing you form this institution, Potter. Come, the ball is in like 15 hours. We still have to do some junk I think."

"Oh come on, you just want to snog," he grinned while sititng up in bed.

"Um.. not my intentions." laughed Lily. "So tell me, do you like it soft or hard?" she added while strumming her fingers on the bedstand.

James raised his eyebrows ironically

"No, Not THAT, I mean the ice cream we are serving at the ball," Lily laughed.

"Make it soft," James smiled indifferently and wrapped his arms around her.

Lily giggled gently, "Can't we do this later?"

"Tell me you have never wanted to make out in a medical institute?" grinned James.

A smile tugged at Lily's lips as she layed down on the bed next to the extremely attractive boy next to her. "Actually, I fancy a nap. Since you refuse to be rescued."

James yawned, a shade of dissapointment haunting his face. "That's a good idea..." and with that, he cuddled up next to Lily and the couple fell asleep.

Devonny roused Halloween morning at around noon, blinking and rubbing her tired eyes as she glanced around the almost empty dormitory.

"Wake up, sleepy head," said Adele as she pushed a big tray of French Toast at Devonny.

"Yay, Vegan food!" smiled Devonny as she sunk her teeth into the toasted bread. "Fanks," she mumbled though her full mouth.

"No prob. You are gonna need your energy for today... it's Halloween," said Tori with a smile. She and Adele were clad in festively striped tights along with their school robes.

"Prepare yourself for the pranks. A little birdy came and told me that Veronica's trying to outdo the Marauders this year, well let's say things are gonna get interesting," Adele smirked as she stood up, walking over to her dresser to apply a new coat of black lip gloss.

"Nice," Devonny grinned after swallowing the last bite of French Toast. "I'm guessing she is off right now doing that?"

Tori nodded. "She left really early in the morning. She took Farkle with her, but left these under her pillow. Well maybe it was more 'hiding' them there then just leaving them, but have a look anyway," she mused while dropping a few heavy spellbooks in Devonny's lap.

"Advanced Transfiguration: Volume Three, Mystical Creatures to Make your Skin Crawl, and Beatification Charms: Turn Gargoyles into Godesses," Devonny read out the book titles. "Holy crap, how did Veronica sleep with these under her pillow without sustaining a serious neck cramp?"

Down in the forbidden corridor, grinning broadly with satisfaction, Veronica emerged from the fruit portrait. She mouthed one last thank you to the tiny, smiling house elf before rushing off down the hall.

There was a shuffling of footsteps close by.

Veronica stopped dead in her tracks and flung her body behind a suit of armour. This was a restricted corridor, not to mention the fact that she had just puled a prank that was sure not to go over well.

"You think the elves will let us do this?" a nervous Peter Pettigrew asked while chewing on his nail.

Sirius chuckled. "Me and the elves? We are like this," and he intertwined his fingers to show a closeness.

Remus rolled his eyes. "But they probably wont let us mess with the Slytherin's- oof!" Remus got cut off by James plunging a hand over his mouth.

"Shhhhhhhh! I hear someone," James murmured while looking around.

Veronica slipped out form behind the suit of armour, a releived smile playing on her lips. "Hey boys," she grinned while approaching the four Marauders.

"Veronica, it's only you" James said in a tone of mock relief. "Wait, what are you doing here?"

"I could ask you four the same thing," she replied while passing them. "And I would; but I have to go. More things to plan before tonight." And having said that, Veronica blew Sirius a kiss before absconding up the staircase.

Remus shrugged, "Should we still go along with it?"

"Of course," Sirius replied gruffly while taking a step towards the fruity portrait.

Once at the top of the stairs, Veronica ran smack into Natalie.

"Ow!" winced the Hufflepuff as she rubbed her arm.

Veornica sighed. "Sorry, Natalie. I'm in a bit of a hurry if you don't mind-"

"Vee," Natalie cut her off. "Who are you going to the ball with?"

"Um," Veronica raised her eyebrows. "Sirius... my boyfriend?"

Natalie laughed shortly. "Of course.. Yeah, fine. Know any single guys?"

"Not offhand," Veronica twirled a strand of hair between her fingers. "But I feel bad.. so I can.. I will... Um... Set you up on a blind date!"

Natalie glanced skeptically. "Er.. what's there to lose..."

"Your pride, your image, your virginity... I could go on and on but now I have the added burden of finding you an elligible bachelor as well as some other junk," Veronica replied while turning away, but Natalie grabbed her arm.

"You could always just lend me your boyfriend," she winked.

"Lemme think about it... No," Veronica said while pulling her arm free. "But I promise he will be at least somewhat desireable..."

Natalie and Veronica turned their seperate ways at last. Of course, the raven haired Hufflepuff was still extremely skeptical, but Veronica had other things to deal with.

James and Lily eventually ambled out of the Hospital wing, sparing just enough time to get back to their dorms and make last minute touches on the ball plans, then heading down to make sure the House Elves had set up right. Everything was so organized and perfect, but in both teen's minds there was a definite preminition of chaos via halloween Pranks.

At exactly 8:26 pm, Veronica jumped on the banaster leading down from the girl's dorm staircase dressed as what looked like a goth faerie, wearing a little back dress and black combat boots. She slid off the end of the railing and flew into Sirius's arms, her realistic black wings fluttering and spreading black dust.

"Hellooo, Count Dracula," giggled Veronica as Sirius bit her neck with his false fangs.

"And what are you supposed to be?" he asked while putting Veronica down and observing her all black and fishnet outfit.

"I'm tinkerbell, duhhhh," groaned Veronica as she rolled her eyes. Sirius shrugged and started playfully biting his girlfriend's neck again.

"I don't mean to break up this little love-fest, but where are Lily and Devonny?" asked James. Veronica looked up at him and laughed, seeing his outfit consisting of a pink collared shirt and weird looking pants that had a pleat in the front.

"For your information, Mr. 'Too Gay to function', they are getting ready." said Veronica through numerous giggles as Sirius lifted her up again.

"I am dressed up as a 'prep'.. or something. I hear in America they get a lot of chicks.. Anyway what the heck is taking so long? We are late," said James as he looked down at his watch, the thick raven hair falling into his eyes.

Devonny yelled from the top of the staircase, "Ta-da!" Remus laughed as Devonny hobbled down the stairs as what looked like a mermaid, her curled brown hair flapping all over her face and her coconut bra. The fins she had chosen were a pair of pants with one of the legs cut off.

"A mermaid?" laughed Remus as Devonny slipped and tumbled down the staircase, giggling and pulling herself up at the bottom of the stairs with support from the railing.

"And what are you? A sexyyyyyyyyyy pirate?" smiled Devonny as she pushed her locks of hair out of her face and surveyed Remus's tight pirate-ish clothing.

"Sirius's idea... there was nothing better," he shrugged defensively.

"Hahahaha you look cute Remus," she grinned while kissing him.

James snorted. "Ok, its already 8:38 and Dumbledore told me and Lily to get there 20 minutes ago!"

Veronica pulled her face away form Sirius's. "Ok, chill your ass down, Jamesie. LILY! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE BEFORE JAMES GIVES HIMSELF A HERNIA. WE ARE ALL READY TO GO NOW!"

"Coming!" yelled Lily as she ran out of the girl's dorms and stopped at the top of the staircase. James grinned when he saw her costume.

Lily's long red hair cascaded down her bare back as she glided down the stairs. Her emerald eyes shimmered in contrast to the black and lavender velvet dress she was wearing. The medieval styled gown hung on every one of Lily's curves, and the plunging backline showed even more of her gorgeous porcelain skin.

"Ta-da, um, Medieval princess," shrugged Lily with a smile.

"Beautiful," James managed to utter in a semi-intellegent way. "Let's go," he added while linking his arm with Lily's and leading their way out of the common room.

Remus scooped Devonny up in his arms and walked out, not wanting to see her pathetically fall and break both of her knees.

"Siri we can't walk in all normal and set a good example to all of the little younger classmen," frowned Veronica, staring at Sirius's arm around her neck.

"Um... Dev and Remus took the romantic just married pose and James and Lily have the traditional square dance arm link..." pondered Sirius as he scratched his chin.

"PIGGY BACK RIDE!" yelled Veronica as she jumped of his back and wrapped her arms around his sturdy shoulders. He trotted off.

"Welcome James and Lily," grinned Dumbledore as the two Head Students walked through the Great hall's double doors.

"Sorry we're late," frowned Lily meekly.

"No, not a problem at all. This is your ball, now go in there and start it up," smiled Dumbledore as he held the door open for Lily and James. Remus came running over with Devonny in his arms, closely followed by Sirius and Veronica.

"Nice evening, eh?" smirked Veronica as the four students clamored in. Dumbledore shook his head and walked away, smiling.

"Hey Remus and Sirius... where's Peter? Setting up your prank?" asked Devonny as Remus plopped her down in her usual seat at the Gryffindor table.

Sirius laughed "No our prank is already set. It's gonna rock. But now that you mention it, I really haven't seen Peter."

"He's probably getting it up the ass from Snivelly," Veronica smirked as Sirius set her down in a chair.

Remus shrugged, "Well whatever."

The all of the heads in the room snapped to attention as there was a large explosion in the corner of the Great Hall..
