Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters nor the world that they live in, however I do own Vivian and my plot lines. By the way, this goes for chapter three as well. Have fun, and……chapter four!

Once she was out of hearing distance, Remus and Sirius burst out laughing again. James muttered a few curse words under his breath, and healed his wounds with a few simple spells.

Sirius pretended to hold a microphone, and said, "I am standing here with James Potter, who was just minutes ago beaten by a furious red headed girl, and publicly humiliated." He shoved his fist near James mouth and asked, "So James, what was it like to know that after today, you can never show your face outside of the common room again? Any thoughts on what you would have done differently if you could rewind and replay it again?"

"Har har, Sirius." James sneered. "How about next time you keep your girlfriend on a leash?" James scoffed at Remus.

"What has gotten into you?" Remus asked, anger rising in his voice. "If I didn't know better, I would say that you were jealous. Perfect James Potter finally getting what he deserves and from a girl no less."

"I don't need to take this from you," James said, stalking off down the hallway breathing heavily from the anger pulsing through his veins.

"James, can't well all just kiss and make up?" Sirius asked. "And no tongue, I know how you get, you devilish fiend you!"

James was too angry though to laugh, or even to turn around, and instead kept walking to where he had left his bag before breakfast, counting the minute until he would be in his favorite class of the day, transfiguration.

"So what you're saying is that after you left the hall, you made out with Remus in the library, and then kicked the crap out of James in the hallway? How is it that I miss all the good things?" Viv cried. "I knew I should have cut myself off and two eggs, but that third one looked some lonely there sitting on the plate I just had to eat it," she sighed.

Lily laughed at her friend's comment, and pointed her wand at the rats they had been given to practice the translation spell on.

"Parlienté" Vivian said, and her rat began to mutter random words in Spanish.

"You're doing it all wrong," Lily said. "It's "Parlian-tay, not Parlienté." She explained.

She said the spell herself, and in a high pitched voice the rat before her began to ramble off about the wonderful piece of cheese it had been fed before the class period.

"Sor-ry Ms. Perfect. Maybe I should just go hang out in the back with Melvin and eat my bugers since I'm obviously not good enough to sit with you," Viv joked.

"Now Vivian," Sirius laughed. "You do that anyway without having to sit next to Melvin. And how do the fruit of your nasal cavity taste?"

"Why don't you tell me?" Vivian asked. "I seem to recall seeing you once or twice sneak a taste of the forbidden "fruit" when you thought no one was looking. Does potions last week sound about right to you?"

"I had a cold and you know it!" Sirius said defensively.

"Like it really matters if you're sick or not when your digging for treasure and then eating what you've found!" Vivian said loudly.

The class got silent, and Professor McGonagoll stared at the two of them from over her desk. The lowered their voices to a dull roar, and continued with the conversation.

"Picking your nose is nothing to be ashamed of," Sirius said. "I'm sure all the great wizards did it, whether it be in the privacy of their own home, or in the street of Diagon Alley."

Vivian burst out laughing at his comment, unable to keep a strait face. "Whatever," she just said. "So Lily, what are you going to do for your birthday? It's in three days right?" Viv asked with a smile. She was going to make this the party to attend, the social event of the season.

"Well, I was thinking of having a small something. Maybe get some snacks from the kitchens and then have some music." Lily replied. She could tell that not only was her suggestion boring, it was clearly nothing like what Vivian had in mind.

"Snooze-ville!" She cried. Lily could be such an old lady sometime! She thought.

"I agree with Vivian. I mean, maybe I would have a good time if I was in a retirement home and was too old and frail to move and had no choice but to sit there in my rocker while I secretly wishing for my death, but even then it would be a stretch." Sirius said.

"Wow, that was a little to detailed right there Sirius," Lily laughed. "I personally don't think that it sounds that bad though. What did you have in mind?"

Vivian's hand shot into the air and she pantomimed her plans. "Picture this: a tree covered with lights, night time, a picnic, enough butter beer to get 50 house elves drunk, a music extravaganza, enough food to choke a rhino, and fireworks."

"Don't you think that sounds just a little overdone?" Lily asked. True she would be turning 16, but it still sounded like too much. Was the "extravaganza" and fireworks really necessary?

"Over done? If anything I would say it sound..under done," Sirius said. "You know Viv, you look mighty sexy when you pantomime. If you wanted to come over some night, I would love to see a private showing."

"SIRIUS!" Vivian yelled.

"Mr. Black and Ms. Johnson, detention tonight. You will both be receiving letters at lunch informing you of when and where you should be reporting to serve your punishment." McGonagall informed them.

"Great going perv," Vivian said.

"I love it when you talk dirty to me!" Sirius exclaimed.

Vivian just let out a hiss on anger, but kept quiet to make sure that this would be the only detention she would have to serve in the presence of Sirius Black, well at least voluntarily.

The lunch wasn't much better. All students had gotten their schedules for the year at breakfast, and Lily was practically shaking from excitement when she remembered that they had charms this afternoon. As she reached to take the plate of rice from Peter, who sat across that table, the hem of her sleeve caught on her goblet of pumpkin juice. Orange liquid splashed everywhere, and Lily's robes were drenched.

"Smooth move," some one snorted. It was James.

"Why don't you do us all a favor and crawl into a hole and die, Potter? I would have though that you would have learned your lesson after this morning. Your lip seems to have healed nicely," Lily sneered. This was not the time for James to be picking on her. Not only was she still steaming from last night's fight, she was soaked with pumpkin juice and had a plate full of soggy eggs and toast. "I'm going to change. I'll meet you at charms," Lily said, making sure to glare at James, and left.

"Once again, I would have to say that you are THE stupidest person ever." Remus commented. He hadn't been speaking to James the entire morning, except to insult him, and James wasn't helping the situation with making fun on Lily at every possible occasion.

"I think I'm going to head to charms early and maybe see if I can get some help on a few spells that my father told me about this summer," Remus told the group. James just grunted and continued ignoring him. Remus just glared at him, and picked up his things to go.

As they watched his back retreating, two school owls swooped down and each gave Vivian and Sirius a letter. They both would be serving the same detention of polishing every trophy in the hallway manually without any magic. It was a good thing that it was only the first day of term and they hadn't had much homework so far, since the task usually took about three to four hours.

Once she had read her letter, Vivian started in on James.

"What is your deal, James? Lily was really upset last night, plus with the book prank this morning, you quickly making you way to the top of her shit list." Viv said.

"I don't know what my deal is. Personally, I think that this is all getting blown out of proportion. I mean, all I did was insult her, and I could have said many things that were worse, and then everyone is down my throat. Plus, the book was funny! It's not like us fighting is a new thing." James replied.

"Yes, but you would have to understand that we have had to put up with this for six years and it's about time that you two got over whatever it is between you that is causing you to fight. And it better be fast." Peter said.

(PS. I don't like Peter very much so I don't think that he will be talking much, but just know that he is always there with the guys)
"Wow, Pete, those are some pretty harsh words coming from someone that never talks," James sneered.

"I just care about Lily, that's all," Peter responded defensively.

"So, we have been friends for six years, and now you want to take her side? Why don't you just bloody ask her out? I'm sure that Remus will come to his senses and dump her soon, so she will be jumping at your offer." James said, storming out of the hall and slamming the doors behind him.

"He really needs some Midol." Sirius whispered.

"Lily this, Lily that. Why don't they all just forget that I exist and create an "I Love Lily" fan club? Honestly, I don't know what the fuss is about her. True, she is gorgeous, but her personality is horrific. I mean, where is her sense of humor?"

"Maybe she just doesn't find jeering remarks about her especially funny," some one offered from behind James.

He turned to find that it was Snape. Great, so not only did his friends take Lily's side, but he also had to hear about her from his enemy as well. Why didn't he just tape a sign to his forehead that said, "Let's all gang up on James today!" and let them have at him.

"Oh, and I suppose you would be a better judge on how to treat her? Well, I'm sure that you would be the best person to give advice on how to handle girls, since you have a) never had a girlfriend and b) never had a girl that was a friend." James breathed angrily.

He really didn't need this from Snape.

"Your wrong, as usual. I do have a friend that is a girl, and she happens to be Lily. You would be surprised about how many things we have in common. But it's our hate for you that really bring us together. I just wanted to thank you for being so pig headed, or else we never would have become friends." With that, Snape turned and headed towards that dungeon. True it was a lie that he and Evans were friends, but the look on James face had made the fib well worth it. Snape would do anything to see James Potter's ego deflated, and he would stop at very little to make sure that it happened quite a few times this year. If he could only find Malfoy, they could begin on the new plan. Voldemort was once again getting strong, and Potter and his annoying family needed to be taken care of as soon as possible.

"See you around Potter," Snape sneered, turning to the dungeons to return to the common room.

"Bite me Snape!" James cried at Snape's receding back. Snape tensed a bit, but kept walking.

"Soon," he thought. "Then I will wipe that smile off your face Potter, and it will be well worth what it will cost me to give."

Remus entered the charms classroom to find that it was empty except for the professor and he let out a sign of relief. The small man sat behind a desk, and was only partially visible over the stack of huge books that occupied most of the surface of his desk.

"Umm, Professor Flitwick?" Remus asked.

"Ah, Mr. Lupin. So good to see you, although class doesn't start for another hour." Professor Flitwick replied, smiling. "Is there something that I can do for you young man?"

"Well, this summer I was having some pretty violent changes, and I was just wondering if there was a charm that would make it a more tranquil transformation." Remus wondered.

"I hate to break it to you, but I think this would be something you would have to bring up with the potions master, Mr. Galdran. There are some charms that might help, but nothing that you would be able to do soon enough to be of any help for the next full moon a three weeks. They are very advanced, and although you are a great student, even very experienced wizards have taken years to learn and master them." Professor Flitwick said. "However, there is a potion that would help, and I'm sure if you asked nicely enough, Mr. Galdran would brew for you and give to Madame Pomphrey for your next transformation."

"Thanks for your help," Remus said, heading back out to door intending to head back to the common room and meet up with Lily after she changed.

"Anytime," the small man replied.
