Author's Note: I know this story was dead a long time ago, but I hated my writing style and had to rewrite it. I REALLY hope it is better, because I know it was really bad before.

Hope you enjoy!

Deep within the English countryside, hidden by spells and incantations stood Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In the castle young wizards and witches aspired to be the next Dumbledore, or some simply wished to pass their OWLS. Competition ran through the students, and their four houses. The Gryffindors considered to be the courageous lot faced Slytherin. Those "evil" Slytherins, despised by the Gryffindor boys in particular felt no affection for the "high and mighty" Gryffindors. While Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw chose sides based on personal preference the battle raged on. However, it is said that many a fortress has fallen from weaknesses within…

"Sirius Black you get your puny little butt out here this instant or I'll-"

"Bloody hell Andrea you don't have to scream I'm coming."

"Sirius I am going to…well…I'm going to…"

Sirius Black, raven hair slightly mussed from sleep, and cool attitude intact like always looked down at the raging terror before him: a pissed off teenage girl.

"You'll what? Throw me on the couch and snog me senseless? I'm willing baby."

"You-you little bastard! How dare you? If you for one second think I would ever even let myself imagine that then you have less of a brain than I thought!"

Andrea Walton flipped her ebony hair behind her shoulder and glared at the annoying piece of filth before her: a teenage boy.

"Well there go my plans for the day." Sirius replied looking quite bored with the whole situation. "Is there a reason you woke me from my beauty sleep…not that I need it or anything…"

Andrea glared at him, and if looks could kill the young Gryffindor would be ten feet under. Azure eyes flashing, she crossed her arms across her chest. "You know perfectly well why I am here Mr. Black, and I expect an explanation."

Sirius looked at the vision before him, long black hair, bright blue eyes, and creamy white skin, all on a body the Gods would envy… completely loathing him.

"Well I presume you are here about our little problem." Sirius answered a slight grin starting to play on his lips.

"You're right I'm here about-"

"Well then." Sirius said glancing up and catching Andrea's eyes with his own, "I say we take care of it."

Andrea looked at Sirius, mistrust clearly on her face. "What do you mean take care of it?"

Andrea thought back to that morning. She had woken up and taken a shower and come back into the 6th year dorm drying her hair with a towel, just like every other morning. She sat on her four poster bed and flipped all her hair over her head, and wrapped it in her towel, then looked up and saw something else that happened almost every morning. Lily Evans had been the victim of a Marauder prank. Lily Evans was Andrea's best friend, and sole confidant. Lily knew things about her that Andrea's own twin didn't know. Lily's normally red hair looked like something out of a Greek myth, and across her forehead flashed the words "I love Slytherin". Eyes opening wide and mouth falling slightly open, Andrea looked at her snake haired friend. Lily didn't seem to know about her Medusa locks or her war paint, but she was heading towards the bathroom, and would soon. Andrea still in awe that the Marauders could think of so many things to do to her poor friend was broken out her reverie by a piercing scream coming from the direction of the girl's bathroom. Lily Evans, green eyes flashing, came storming out on the war path.

"I'm going to kill them! Especially Potter! I have a date with Jonathan tonight! I can't go like this!"

Lily realization dawning on her face sat on her bed, and let her head fall into her hands. "I've liked him for almost five months…five months, and the one time he actually asks me to go to Hogsmeade they have to do this…" Lily tears running down her face looked at Andrea, "What am I going to do? I don't want to cancel; this is the last Hogsmeade weekend for awhile."

Andrea let her thoughts wander to the tall Slytherin Lily was talking about. Jonathan Avery was handsome, Andrea did have to admit, but he was cold. Blonde hair slicked back and never a hair out of place; he was first cousins to none other than Lucius Malfoy, and was always talking about the older boy as though he were a God. Andrea personally thought Lily liked him to annoy Potter, as the two boys detested each other, and that Avery was taking Lily out to have something to hang over James' Potter's head, knowing that the Gryffindor liked Lily.

James had always fancied Lily, but after an incident in 3rd year Lily refused to acknowledge his existence unless they were fighting. So to retaliate James had persistently asked her on a date ever time the redhead was around, that all stopped in 5th year. An episode that year had hurt James terribly, and he had taken out his frustration by irritating Lily for the rest of that year, and the beginning of this one.

Andrea's thoughts turned to the Gryffindor chaser, James Potter wasn't all that bad in her opinion, a prankster to be sure, but full of life and very fun to be around. After his and Lily's fight at the lake she didn't associate him much, but it was hard not to notice James. Not tall and thin in form his wasn't a person that bought awareness by his size, James had an aura about him like a magnet. He was bursting with life, and always up for anything. Black messing hair always looking like he just stepped off a broom, and hazel eyes always twinkling, James Potter was a charmer. Nowhere near as much as his best friend Sirius, but it was said his grin could make a girl go weak in the knees.

While Andrea's thoughts wandered, Lily was frantically attempting to undo the charms (or in her opinion curses) on her hair and face.

"Andrea!"

The young girl jumped, scared out of her daydream by her friend's sudden outburst.

"Hm?"

"Can you please do a big favor for me?" Lily asked emerald eyes pleading.

"It depends." Andrea answered, looking at Lily suspicion showing on her face.

Lily in an attempt to look innocent settled just for upset, sat on her bed and pouted. "Will you please go find one of those annoying little Marauders and nicely ask how I get this thing of my head, and rid of my slight bad hair day."

Andrea glanced at her friend's head, and had to force back a laugh. It seemed for all Lily's efforts that the charms the boys had placed on her had stayed…and grown more persistent. The snakes coming out of her scalp looked angry and were hissing wildly, while the words flashing on her forehead alternated between the green, "I love Slytherin", and a red "But I love James Potter more."

So their morning drama had brought Andrea to the common room screaming up the stairs to the boy's dormitory. She didn't dare brave going in the dorm, remembering the time pixies had attacked her twin sister Elise.

After screaming for nearly five minutes (although in her opinion it seemed like an hour), Andrea was rewarded with a sleepy looking Sirius Black yelling back to her shouts, and standing at the top of the staircase looking like things such as these happened on a regular basis (which they in fact did).

Quite the dreamer, Andrea was once again brought back to the present and her current dilemma by Sirius. "Yes, I don't think we can allow this to go on any longer." Sirius said, looking very business like, and starting to scare Andrea.

Andrea's anger faded, replaced by confusion, "But you're the one that did it…at least helped do it."

Sirius shook his head and laughed as though she were a small child asking about some childish qualm. "It is not all my fault. You see I seem to have this effect on people, I just can't help it darling."

Andrea's confusion allowed her to ignore the use of the word darling. "So you're saying that you seem to make people grow snakes and glowing words out of their heads?"

Shaking his head and clucking his tongue Sirius looked at her, "No, no, no of course not, why ever would you think that. It's obvious that is not what we are discussing."

Andrea becoming annoyed with his "beating around the bush" style simply glared at him, and crossed her arms across her chest again. "Then what pray tell are we talking about?" Andrea asked, deciding to stay calm in the chances he would tell her.

Sirius stared at her as though it were the most obvious thing in the world. "Why this attraction between us darling, it cannot go on. I really do believe we ought to do something about it, and my only suggestion is that you throw me on the couch now, and do whatever it is that you want with me."

Sirius grinned suggestively, however it quickly faded when he looked at Andrea's face. Although the girl wasn't a red head, her temper could rival Anne of Green Gable's.

"You sick pig! How dare you even suggest something like that! I came here to try and get the counter-curse for Lily, and you suggest that there is something between us!" Andrea's face was red, her sapphire eyes were flashing, and you could cut the sexual tension between the two teens with a knife.

Glaring once more at Sirius, the raven haired beauty turned on her heel and stomped out of the room. All the while Sirius' eyes never left the back of her head, and she didn't see the grin on his face slowly fade.

"I'm going back to bed…"

Meanwhile back in the girl's dormitory Elise Walton was having no luck calming her friend Lily, or getting the additions to her head off the red head's skull.

"Lily its fine I'm sure we'll find the counter curse." Elise said soothingly, blue eyes pleading.

Lily looked up her eyes swimming with tears, "No we won't, knowing those idiots they forgot the counter-curse or Andrea will end up killing one of them, and then they'll refuse to tell us."

Elise had to admit that this sounded logical, and was more than likely going to be what happened, but she wasn't about to say that to her upset friend. "Lily, it will all work out, don't worry, you really shouldn't get this upset, even if we can't get you back to your normal beautiful self Jon will understand." Elise said with a small smile.

Elise, always the more maternal and grounded of the three girls sat on the edge of Lily's bed, while her crying friend sat cross legged, head in hands. Her dark chocolate colored hair was cut short, just above her shoulders and flipped out, and her pretty face as always looked innocent and sweet. While Andrea and Lily had tempers that would make Lord Voldemort run for cover, Elise was known to keep her calm, and be nowhere near as outspoken as her sister and friend. Best friends with Alice McCoy she wasn't as close to Lily as her sister was, but her naturally kind disposition made her instantly help a person in need.

"Normally beautiful," Lily snorted. "Yeah right, it took me five months just to get Jon to ask me out, and now it's all ruined." Lily let her head fall back into her hands, "It's probably because of my hair."

Elise forced herself not to laugh, "Lily although I doubt he would like your current "do", your normal hair is fine. It's not nearly as red as poor Molly Whitby. In fact I think it's looking much more auburn as of late."

Lily looked up at her friend, and wiped her tear stained face, "Really? I thought so myself, but I wasn't sure, and I didn't really want to sound conceded by saying so."

Elise smiled, glad to get Lily off the subject of her current predicament, "Of course Hun, you know I envy your burgundy locks" Elise said with a giggle.

Lily snorted again, "Sure you do, and you know I want your creamy chocolate ones."

Elise looked liked she was pondering something for a moment. "Although you know I would much rather your snaky look."

Both girls started laughing, looking up at a surprised Andrea who had just walked into the room, and was surprised at the amusement of her sister and best friend. She hated to kill the mood, but Lily's expectant face forced her to, "I didn't get it," she said her face falling, "but wait until you hear what Black said to me!" Andrea's face quickly became angry once more, and her and Elise kept Lily's mind off her date with Jon, by roasting Sirius, and the rest of the Marauders, and beginning to plot on how to get them back.

In the meantime in Sirius was attempting to quietly get back to his bed. He wouldn't admit it, but he was slightly disappointed by Andrea's reaction to him, although he knew he shouldn't have expected better. Oh well, he had a date tonight anyways. Looking around the room he noticed that Frank and Jordan were gone, probably to breakfast, while the other three boys were still in bed. Thinking of all the things they had done the previous night, Sirius grinned.

"Where were you so long?" A figure hanging off one of the beds asked

"James go back to sleep it's none of your business anyways, " Sirius grumbled climbing back into bed.

"You'll tell me later so why not save time and tell me now while I want to hear it." James replied, slowly sitting up in bed.

"I was making wild and passionate love to someone" Sirius said over dramatically, moving the blankets on his bed to his satisfaction and climbing in.

James snorted "Yeah Sirius, to McGonnagal. Only in your dreams mate."

When a red velvet pillow bearing the Black family crest flew through the air toward James the target was not at all surprised so Qudditch instincts kicked in, and he ducked. Then quickly turned to see the pillow hit a lump two bed over from him. The "lump" happened to be Remus Lupin, and being woken up by a flying object, no matter how soft was not something he appreciated. Sitting up and glaring at a laughing Sirius he picked up the pillow, and threw it as hard as he could, smirking in satisfaction when the propelled item hit its mark, and caused the black haired boy to fall off his bed and onto the floor.

James' eyes opened wide, and he looked at Remus and then his fallen friend. "Bloody hell Moony, how hard did you throw that?"

Concern coming to his eyes, Remus nervously stood up, brown eyes looking at the form lying by the bed across the room.

Tall and thin Remus had light brown hair, and a pale, at times sickly looking complexion. Although quite attractive, he tended to stay away from girls, for a reason only his friends knew.

James and Remus both got out of their beds and walked over to examine their fallen comrade. Poking Sirius, James looked up at Remus in wonder, "I think you killed him."

Remus paled and looked nervous, "There is no way James…I…I didn't throw it that hard."

Both boys looked down at Sirius' form on the plush carpet. Remus looked surprised and looked up at James, "I think he just fell back to sleep."

Both boys started laughing, and James began grinning like a madman, making Remus stop and stare at him, knowing that James was up to something. Slowly creeping over to his bed James grabbed his wand off the table near it.

"Prongs what are you-"

James waved his hands at Remus and made a shushing noise, and tiptoed over to Sirius. Pointing his wand at his throat, he muttered something, presumably a spell of some sort, which Remus did not catch. Remus once again tried to ask his scheming friend what his was about to do, only to be quieted once again…this time with
different results."

"Prongs what in Merlin's name are you doing?"

James looked at the curious boy standing behind him. "Moony please be quiet, I don't want him woken up."

Remus' eyebrows shot towards his hair line, and his mouth dropped open in shock. "James…you…you sound like a girl!"

James merely got down on his knees next to the sleeping Sirius, and looked up grinning at Remus.

"James" Remus said warningly. His mind catching up with James' actions, and knowing when he had a grin like that on his face nothing good was about to happen.

"SSSHHH!"

"Ok, ok", Remus, mumbled giving up, knowing that he was probably going to be refereeing a fight in due time.

James grinned evilly and began speaking in seductive voice. "Oh Sirius last night was wonderful."

Feeling as though one of his ribs were about to crack, Remus looked at James while pondering where the evil genius called James Potter thought of all the amusing things he did.

"Mmm, yeah baby it was" Sirius mumbled in his sleep, turning towards the female voice that had invaded his dream of taking a bath with a thirty foot rubber duck.

James smirked wickedly, and Remus held his breath…

"But it was so small"

Sirius jumped up like he had been electrocuted.

"WHAT! It is NOT! It's nearly 6-"

Sirius stopped and turned to see James and Remus laughing uncontrollably. Remus doubled over and face red looked up to see Sirius' face turn red, and a scowl overcome his handsome features. Looking down at James rolling on the floor, he knew what was about to come next and actually pitied James. He knew he wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of Sirius' wrath.

"I'm going to kill you James Potter." James stopped laughing instantly, and looked at his fuming friend, with surprising agility he jumped off the ground and backed to the door of them room, shaking his hands. "Sirius…Padfoot…mate it was only a joke…"

"I'm still going to kill you; you have until three to run…" James gulped feminine voice cracking slightly,"Padfoot…"

Sirius looked at him evilly. "Three."

Never in all his life had James Potter run so fast, into the common room which to his great relief was empty…for now…

Lily and Elise were still attempting to do something about Lily's newly acquired pets. The flashing writing on her forehead had worn off minutes before, but the snakes were stubbornly still attached to her scalp. While Andrea searched through her trunk, both girls looked as though they were about to give up, and just give in and start naming the snakes. Standing up straight and smiling a bit, Andrea threw a towel at Lily.

"It's better than looking at snakes." She said shivering a little. "I hate them."

Lily deflated slightly, but shrugged, agreeing with her friend, at least the towel would help keep them out of her eyes. Now the hard part was getting the serpents into the towel. After struggling for a few minutes all three girls had managed to get every last squirming one into the towel, although the turban looking wrap on Lily's head did wiggle every once in while. The three girls all sat down, Lily on her bed with Andrea, while Elise say on the floor and opened a book. They were all startled to hear someone screaming in the common room.

"Sirius no!"

Elise looked up at Lily and Andrea her face nervous, "Oh my Gosh, I think Sirius is about to hit some girl!"

All three girls jumped up and ran out of the room as fast as they could (Lily holding towel on), to see a very "amusing" seen unfold in front of them.

James Potter was standing behind a red couch posed to run if Sirius made any move to attack him. Sirius was in front of the couch being held back by Remus.

"Sirius get a hold off yourself." James begged, looking desperate.

James speaking was met with peals of laughter coming from the direction of the staircase.

"Going through puberty Potter? You sound a bit feminine." Lily called looking very pleased.

"Shove it Evans." James retorted looking like he was torn between being angry, and dying of embarrassment, of all the girls to see him. He soon learned just to keep his mouth shut; three teenage girls doubled over from laughter will do that. It will also do wonders to deflate an ego.

Lily laughed again, and James couldn't help but notice the way her eyes sparkled. "Remus you should let go of Black, Potter deserves to have his little ego problem solved, and I'm sure Sirius would do that perfectly." Lily finished by looking at James straight in the face, and almost daring him come back with something. She was disappointed though when all James did was stare right back, with a close to pleading face, his emotions for her clearly showing in his eyes. Taken back by what she read written on James' face, she stepped back, and quickly left to go back to the room. Andrea and Elise clearly confused looked down at James, who was now eyeing Sirius warily, and followed their friend.

After watching the girls go, Remus looked pleadingly at both combatants. "Will you both just stop it? Sirius, James was only joking around, and being a bigger prat than usual." James looked affronted, but Remus continued, "And James just say you're sorry to Mr. Hothead."

Both looking slightly sheepish, James and Sirius looked at each other grinning. James pointed his wand to his throat and reached his hand out to Sirius.

"Sorry Padfoot, didn't mean to upset you…so…6 inches eh?" James smirked, waiting for his words to hit his oblivious friend.

"It's all right Prongs- what! Why do you want to know?" Sirius looking shocked and somewhat angry yelled.

James simply snickered and ran out of the room to find Peter. And find him he did…still sleeping.

Peter Pettigrew was the fourth Marauder. And his "membership" to the band of troublemakers confused the students of Hogwarts. Somewhat small and chubby looking, he was commonly mistaken for a fourth year. He didn't have much in common with the other three, and really just idolized James and Sirius. With his pale blonde hair, and pointed nose, he could go from looking innocent, to conniving in seconds. Although James and Sirius could cause mayhem like second nature, neither of them could give off the forbidding vibe that some got from little Peter Pettigrew. When James ran into the room, adrenaline still pumping, laughing a little at the early morning antics, Peter sat up in his bed.

"Where have you been?" The small boy asked. James jumped; Peter's cold tone had startled him, and looked quizzically at the figure at the far end of the room.

"Just in the common room." James answered, wondering why he was being so cool towards him.

"I see." Peter replied looking out the window, "We've been invited to a party, one of my friends from home is hosting it." Peter looked back at James, still talking in the same unfeeling manner. "You should go ask the others if they wish to come…its next weekend, Friday most likely, they will be writing to me." After finishing, Peter got up and went into the bathroom. James still pondering his strange behavior shrugged and went back into common room to tell Sirius and Remus about the party.

Walking slowly down the staircase into the common room, James silently debated with himself whether to tell Remus and Sirius about Peter's odd behavior. They had all noticed their companion's different attitude lately. He seemed to be always tired, and very secretive. This and mood swings that would rival that of a PMSing girl's were making the Marauders worried. After thinking about it James decided not to mention it, they all had enough on their minds.

"Guess what?" James said, finally reaching the common room, and plopping down on a couch near his two friends. Remus and Sirius looked up from their game of wizard's chess.

"You're pregnant." Sirius proclaimed with a completely serious (no pun intended) face.

James chose however to ignore him, and told them what Peter had said, leaving out his odd way of speaking.

"Of course we'll go…maybe there will be some girls there…" Sirius mused aloud.

"Is that all you think about?" James asked looking at a thoughtful Sirius, an amused look on his face.

Sirius started slightly, "Oh sorry, what did you say? I was imagining the Walton twins nude."

His thoughts only brought Remus shaking his head and asking the impossible to answer question, "Sirius, where did we find you?"

Well I hope that was better! Hope you like! Please those of you who read the old version tell me if it improved…I hope it did. Well anyways enough with my rambling…just click this button down here….
