"I am soooo sorry!" Mel apologized profusely in Transfiguration, our first class.

"And how, Miss Souris, did you manage to turn your finger into a needle!" Professor McGonagall was yelling at Mel.

"Well, look on the bright side. I got the spell." Mel tried weakly.

"But not like this! Detention for you tomorrow night!"

"Aww…" Mel complained.

"Shuttup Mel! Before you make it worse!" I hissed at her.

"Fine, fine." She grumbled back. Quickly I changed her needle back into a finger. And when McGonagall turned around it was just Mel trying to transfigure her match again.

"I must be going crazy." She muttered. Mel grinned at me. I guess that means Mel doesn't have detention anymore.

"Crap! How crappy mean! It's only the first crappy day at Hogwarts and she's already trying to give out detention! How crappy unfair is that! I mean crap!" Mel was using her favorite word again.

"Just come Mel. We need to go to charms next."

"Aw, crap!" Mel then clapped her hands over her mouth. "Oops." Fortunately and unfortunately Professor Flitwick was too occupied in getting himself off the ceiling to notice that Mel had cursed. "Well," she said sheepishly, "At least I made the spell work!" This time however not I, but Lily saved Professor Flitwick. She's really good at Charms!

Basically that's how our day went. Mel did the spell but on the wrong things and each time I got her out of trouble. It was like that at muggle elementary school too. She got in trouble and I, as goody two shoes, got her out of it. Now however she was starting to get in a bad mood.

"Well, at least you didn't curse at Professor Thistle." I was trying to be consoling and not laugh. Trying being the key word.

"That was only because it was the last class so I felt better and some of those potions looked acidic." Mel pouted. Suddenly she spotted James and grinned. "I've just gotten an idea! Oh James! Remember how you said you could eat more pancakes than me?"

"Um…yeah."

"Well, since you lost I'm going to dare you to do something! That was the loss. That's how you do it! At least Sam and I have been doing it that way for years! You can't back down! It's like a double dare. Plus if you do it then I'll get Sam to take off the spell that doesn't let you taste anything."

"Right…" he looked a little excited to have his taste back but slightly apprehensive. After all, he didn't know what we were capable of yet. Yet! (a/n grins manically)

"Well, I dare you to…"

(a/n this was the original start but I forgot to add their day so yeah… just wanted to let you know) "NOOOOO!" James was bemoaning his fate. Actually, if you thought about it, it wasn't so bad. All he had to do was kiss a girl. Any girl. Most would be quite willing to kiss James but hey! He was only eleven! He thought all girls had cooties! At least, that's what I'm guessing by all the protesting he made.

"Cummon! I won so you have to do a dare! That's the dare so pay up!" Mel was grinning wickedly.

"NOOOOO!" James yelled again. It sounded like he was being tortured.

"Cummon Mel! Go easy on him!" They all stared at me in surprise. Normally I backed Mel on everything. "We can't go for anything less than Jamesy-poo making the head girl kiss him!" James started yelling again while Mel smirked.

James had a look on his face that basically said he was going into the lion's den. Mel and I wore identical looks of evilness while we held up cameras. The Polaroid picture kind. We prodded him up to head's tower like guards prodding a prisoner to a dungeon. Muahaha! We are so evil!

'Knock, knock.' Went James' timid knock on the head's door. The door swung open and James, looking like he went into the mouth of the lion stepped timidly (a/n what's with all the timidness all of a sudden James?! What kind of person writes James like this?!? Hey wait, I think I might have insulted myself!)

"Hello. What do you want?" A girl called Alice Longbottom smiled warmly at James who was shaking like jello. (a/n dunno if he knows what jello is but oh well.) James couldn't utter a word. He got really nervous around most girls according to Sirius. Mel and I decided to help him out a bit.

"Um… Miss Longbottom?" I asked tentatively.

"Just Alice will do!"

"Ok Alice! See, James has fallen madly in love with you but he doesn't want to admit it. Being the great friends we are, we brought him up here to ask you that would you please give him one kiss so he can stop pining about it to us." Mel butted in bluntly with another evil smirk.

"Well," Alice smiled broadly, "I suppose I can oblige." And with that she bent down and kissed James right on the lips. His eyes widened and he looked horrorstruck. I think Alice took that for thunderstruck-ness because he really liked her but at any rate he couldn't move.

'Click, click,' went the cameras while pictures came shooting out.

"Thanks Alice! We owe you!" and smirking still more broadly we wheeled James out of the room and into the Gryffindor common room. During the whole walk James continued to be speechless.

"So? So? How did it go?" We were bombarded with questions from Sirius and Remus and Peter as soon as we got back with their friend in tow.

"Whoa! What happened to James?" Remus looked concerned.

"Who cares? If he really did it Sam'll take off the spell that will let us taste again!" Sirius yelled.

"Sirius!" Yes, James was definitely back with the living as he was chasing Sirius all over the common room.

"Hold still! A promise is a promise." I proclaimed and whispered the counter-curse under my breath, just in case I needed to use it again.

"Well, I guess James got his kiss then." Remus figured out. Remus is pretty observant.

"Yep! He also announced his undying love." And leaving the boys looking confused Mel and I left to go to our dorm.

"Did you see the look on their faces?" Mel chuckled.

"I know! I mean, common! They didn't really believe that did they?"

"I dunno. I hope not! Honestly!" And guffawing all the way we made it to the dormitory where we saw Lily again.

"Hey guys!" she greeted us.

"Hey Lils! Is it ok for us to call you Lils?" Mel inquired.

"No problem as long as you don't let anyone else do it."

"Ok! We can do that! It will be a special nickname!"

"So, do you wanna get the boys, maybe play truth or dare or something? Maybe we can start learning something about eachother?" I said suggestively.

"Sure, why not?" the others agreed readily so down we went.

- seemed like a good stopping point! j/k! I wouldn't leave you here! We have to finish the dares now, don't we?

We all sat down, girls on one side, boys on the other. We were sitting in the girl's dorm because, frankly, we didn't want to see the boy's dorm… Yuck! Mel, Lily, and I were on my bed while James and Sirius were on Mel's bed and Remus and Peter were on Lily's bed.

"I go first! I go first!" Mel was chanting.

"Fine Mel, fine! You can go first!" I sighed exasperatedly.

"Ooooo! Yay! James, truth, dare, double dare, promise to repeat?"

"Dare senorita Mel, dare!"

"Where'd the Spanish come from? Anyway I dare you to-"

"Please no having to kiss someone again!" James protested.

"Great idea!" Mel grinned evilly. "But I won't! I want it to be more fun than that!" James looked at her apprehensively. Mel looked pensive for a minute then her face lighted up. "I know!" then she whispered something into his ear.

"No! She loves that thing!" James looked horrified.

"Do it!"

"Fine, fine…" He grumbled back. Then he stomped out of the room.

"What did you tell him to do?" I demanded.

"You'll see, you'll see." Mel looked very contented. Suddenly a great banging came from downstairs and yelling. James suddenly appeared again and glared at Mel.

"You got me 10 detentions! Thank you!" He hugged Mel who looked astonished. The muffled bangs still sounded from downstairs.

"That almost sounds like Penelope playing her piano." I remarked. (a/n no clue why I have so many Ps…) "It's the right time too." Before I go on I need to tell you a few things. Penelope's a year above us and very talented at the piano. She's a little (coughalotcough) stuck up about it. She brought her piano to Hogwarts with her and practices every day at 7:00 sharp. Today though, her playing didn't sound nice. Rather, it sounded as if she was hitting the keys and they weren't going down.

Anyway, we all rushed downstairs, without James of course because this was obviously his dare one way or another and Monica because she knew what was going on too since it was she who gave the dare.

Potato

Potato

Potato

….Mel is really weird when you let her type. Okay, back to the story!!

NO!!! POTATO!!!

MEL GET OFF THE COMPUTER!!

POTATO POTATO!! I WANT A POTATO WITH CHEESE!!

NO POTATO FOR YOU!!!! THAT'S MY POTATO!!

Eating my potato…. La di da, potato!!

GET OFF THE COMPUTER!!!!

NOOO!!!! POTATOOOO!!

Okay, after a hard time wresting the poor computer out of Mel's clutches, we return to our story! Mel grumbles insanely while eating a baked potato. I am scared.

Back from our commercial break with Meheeners!!

(A/n no clue where that came from… here… oh well.)

We all went downstairs where Penelope was shrieking.

"What's up Penelope?" I asked.

"Some… some… son of a…" Penelope was shouting. "I'll get them! If it's the last thing I do!" We stared at her in surprise. She's usually well collected. Finally we got the scoop. Someone (coughjamescough) had glued the piano keys together so she couldn't play anything. She had tried all the spells but we looked inside and turns out the "culprit" had used hot glue. A muggle substance, so all the spells didn't work. How convienient. We all looked suitably sorry then headed upstairs at a run.

"Oh my god James!" Sirius yelled.

"Well, wasn't my dare good?" Mel smirked. (a/n she seems to be doing that a lot.)

"Oh yeah! I'm 5 detentions ahead of Sirius now!" James shouted excitedly.

"NOOOOO!" Sirius was pouting.

"What's the deal with the detentions?" I inquired. "I thought they were a bad thing."

"Well, technically they are but in Sirius and James' cases…" Remus started rolling his eyes.

"They made a bet to see which one of them could get the most detentions." Peter finished.

"Ah… How stupid." I sighed.

"Yes, yes they are aren't they?" Remus agreed.

"Hey!" Sirius and James protested at the same time.

A/N Well, I'll leave you here. I think this is a nice long chapter. I'm also ordering anyone reading this to read my other fic, My Best Friend: Lily Evans.
