Author's note: I apologize if this chapter is sucky. School just ended and I currently have way too much energy to sit at the computer and write this chapter. Anyway, I hope everyone likes it. And please review.
First I would like to say I'm sorry to Megan (did I spell that right?). You emailed me and instead of hitting the reply button I hit the delete button! I'm sooooo sorry!!! If you still want me to email you just please email me again and I will email you back. Again I'm so sorry.
DOJ: I'm glad you thought my descriptions were goof. I normally have a lot of dialogue and not much description. I'm trying to work on that.
Lizzard: Well, no more mayhem going on in my life. I am free! I'm glad you liked the fashion part. It makes me feel as if I actually know something about fashion.
Queen Of Day Dreams: I told You Tom Felton was Hot! Too bad he plays a big baby. And I am dying to see Troy. Believe I have heard from all of my friends. I'll see it as soon as I possibly can.
Ron&herm4ever: Oh I love new readers!!! I'm so happy you're enjoying this so far!!! Please keep reading and reviewing!
SiriusLives001: I have to disagree with you. I like shopping with my mom cause she has money. I am always broke so I don't mind shopping with her. I'm sorry I over did the dress descriptions. I was trying to give everyone a good picture of what they looked like. And I usually don't have very much description in my writing so I'm trying to work on it. And yeah I thought it would be funny if Sirius wanted to get in Cat's pants.
PatchLover08: Yeah, I can't wait to write the ball scene. That's going to be a lot of fun. Glad you thought the Three Broomsticks part was funny.
HPPoenix07: Yay! It was a long review. And yeah I wanted everyone to imagine how I saw the dress robes. Because, as you said, JK Rowling doesn't explain them to us. And it is my job to make you feel guilty. And it doesn't matter that I do it too. At least I intend to finish mine. You started that Harry/Hermione one and gave up so I've been writing it ever since! Anyway, I'm glad you thought it was funny. And please tell me Gary Oldman is hotter in Dracula than he is in Harry Potter.
The all mighty and powerfulM: I have no idea how they're going to fit the entire fourth book in one movie. But the 3rd movie was shorter than the first two yet the book was longer. That's what I don't get. They could have made the movie a little longer and gotten in the details they left out.
KrisKG: I'm glad you liked the dresses. I like them too. And yes writing James when he sees Lily will be very fun. The ball is a Christmas ball right before everyone leaves for the holiday. Browneyedgirl2004: I'm so glad you like my story so much. I love getting new reviewers! I hope you like this chapter too. And I promise to read your fic as soon as I get the chance.
Nitemarechild: Another new reader. Wow! YAY! I can't believe you stayed up till three in the morning reading my story! That makes me so happy. You have no idea. It means so much to me that you think I'm a great writer and that you think my characters have distinct personalities. I try really hard to do that. I hope you keep reading.
Courtney: Wow! Another new reader. I can't wait till the ball either. It's going to be tons of fun to write. Please keep reading and reviewing.
The Halloween Feast
"So how did the shopping go?" James asked Lily as she sat down next to him at the Gryffindor table in the great. The five girls had just arrived back at the castle. And were now taking their seat next to the Marauders.
"It was good." Lily said as she put her bag under the table at her feet.
"Can I see it?" James said trying to see into the bag as Lily put it under the table.
"Nope." Lily smiled and looked at James.
"Please?" James said sticking his bottom lip out and making a puppy dogface.
"Please not the face, James." Lily usually caved and gave James whatever he wanted when he showed her this face. He usually used it when he wanted to copy her homework.
"You're not seeing it and that's final." Cat reached across the table and smacked the side of his head.
"Hey, that hurt." James said rubbing his head.
"You get used to it after a while." Sirius told him.
"Do you want one to?" Cat turned her attention to her boyfriend sitting next to her.
"No of course not baby." Sirius said turning on his charms and leaned in brushing his lips against Cat's. Cat visibly relaxed and everyone could tell she was enjoying the kiss.
"Please get a room if you're going to do that." Remus suddenly said.
"Remus!" Jo said shocked that he said something like that.
"We've finally done it!" James said triumphantly. "We brought him over to the dark side."
"Alright Moony." Sirius pulled away from Cat and smiled at his friend giving him a slap on the back.
"I was in no way trying to be suggestive." Remus smiled at his friends. "I meant that we're eating soon and I would rather not eat while you two are snogging right next to me."
"Go and ruin our fun." Sirius said. "Thanks Moony."
"No problem." Remus said chuckling.
"Do you always have to be perverted?" Cat asked as Sirius turned back to her.
"They're guys." Anna simply said. "Of course they're going to be perverted."
"Thanks Best." James said sarcastically to Anna.
"They do have a point." Lily said to James. "Remus and Frank are the only guys I know who aren't perverted."
"So you're saying your own boyfriend if perverted." James said mocking hurt.
"Yeah sometimes you can be." Lily laughed at James' trying to act as if she had hurt him with what she had said.
"If I could get everyone's attention please." A voice broke into the group's little chat. Everyone in the great hall looked up to see Dumbledore standing trying to get everyone's attention. "If you would please quiet down I have a few announcements to make before the feast begins. First of all, you all know that there will be a ball the night before the Hogwarts express leaves the next morning to take those of you who wish home. Second, Mr. Filch has asked my to tell you that if you eat in the corridors not to leave garbage on the ground. Now, I hope all of you enjoy you Halloween feast. May it be as memorable as it always it." Dumbledore winked at the Marauders before taking his seat.
Food magically appeared filling all four tables with food of every kind. And this year it was certainly every kind. Moments after the food appeared on the tables, groans could be heard coming from the Slytherin table.
"What are they groaning about over there?" Sam lifted her head from the Gryffindor table to see what was happening. Slowly the entire Ravenclaw table was in hysterics. The Ravenclaw table was the one right next to the Slytherin table.
"What did you do this time?" Lily groaned seeing that four boys sitting around her were currently trying extremely hard not to burst out laughing. "James, what did you do this time?" She asked again.
"Me?" James finally cracked and laughed out loud. Tears quickly started rolling down his face.
"Yes, you." Lily said trying hard to sound angry.
"Well, it seems that the house elves in the kitchen had a little mix up." Remus said. He was the only Marauder who wasn't in tears.
"Do I even want to know what he's talking about?" Cat started to massage her temples.
"Hey!" Sam called over to the Ravenclaw table. "Mary! What's going on?"
"The Slytherin's... their feast... it's... dog food!!!" Mary said through her laughter.
"Remus you didn't." Jo said smiling at him.
"It wasn't my idea." Remus defended himself.
"Yes, but I remember vividly you begging a house elf to replace the normal food with dog food." Sirius said.
"Well, at least he wasn't on his hands and knees begging." James said smiling at Sirius.
"It's completely understandable to be on hands and knees. They're short!" Sirius said poorly defending himself.
"I can not believe you." Lily said shaking her head.
"Oh please, I know you think it is hilarious Lils!" James said putting his arm around Lily's waist and pulling her closer to him and planting a kiss on her cheek.
"It may be funny but it's not proper behavior for a Head Boy." Lily tried hard to scold him but people just don't take you seriously when you're smiling.
"Mr. Potter, Mr. Black, Mr. Pettigrew, and Mr. Lupin." A voice said from behind Lily and James. Sirius and Remus were looking up and suddenly they're smiles were gone. "Will you please follow me to my office? I'm sure you know the way." Professor McGonagall said and started making her way to door. Sirius, James, Peter, and Remus got up from their seats to follow her out.
"Maybe people don't change." Lily said as she watched James follow Professor McGonagall out of the great hall like he had done so many times in previous year. She looked around the great hall and everyone had figured out what had happed. The great hall was in hysterics. People were laughing and standing up on their seats trying to get a good look at the Slythering table.
"Oh, people change Lily." Cat said. "But I don't think James was the one who changed."
"Are you trying to say I'm the one who's changed again?" Lily said.
"I'm just saying if he had done this last year you wouldn't have found it as amusing as you do this year." Cat said knowing her friend better than Lily knew herself at the moment.
Professor McGonagall's Office
"Come on Professor, you can't say you didn't find it the least bit funny." Sirius said the second McGonagall had closed the door behind the four friends.
"Even though it may have been the slightest bit amusing-" Professor McGonagall started.
"So you did like it." Sirius said triumphantly.
"- It was childish and inappropriate." She finished her sentence ignoring him.
"It was out last Halloween in Hogwarts. We wanted to make it memorable." James cut in to help Sirius with his case.
"We need to go out with a bang." Sirius said.
"Nevertheless, I'm going to have to punish you." Professor McGonagall said.
"Aww, come on Professor." Sirius said. Remus and Peter just sat back and watch the interaction between James, Sirius, and Professor McGonagall like they did every Halloween.
"Who week of detention for each of you." Professor McGonagall.
"Yes ma'am." Sirius said and suddenly stood straight up and saluted to Professor McGonagall as if they were in the Military and she was his officer.
"You may go back to the feast now. I trust that Professor Dumbledore has everything straightened up now." She said and the four boys made their way out of the office. "And I would greatly appreciate it if you didn't stir up trouble at the Christmas ball."
"Don't worry." James reassured her.
"Two weeks detention..." Sirius counted on his finger. "That's 763?"
"768." Remus corrected. "Remember 3rd year? The week you had to do with Filch for sneaking in to Hogsmead."
"Right Moony. What would we do without you?" Sirius said as the Marauders made their way back to the great hall.
