Gryffindor 6th Year Girl Dormitories

8:36 P.M.

"We are so pathetic."

This statement made Lily and Jade stop their nail-painting activities and stare at their best friend in concern. Allison was sprawled on her bed, staring up at the ceiling. Lily and Jade looked at each other with raised eyebrows. Allison wasn't usually so melodramatic.

"I mean here we are – three beautiful young women on a Friday night, with absolutely nothing to do. No Hogsmeade, no dates, no cute guys, no shopping spree. I come on girls, we aren't going to be young forever." Allison turned over and stared at her friends. "There is absolutely -- " She stopped abruptly. She sat up straight, her eyes shining.

"I'm calling a meeting." She looked around at her friends.

Lily looked strangely at her. "Allison, what are you doing? What meeting?"

Allison grinned. "As you young ladies know, we have been recent victims of a horrible, degrading, humiliating prank. Are you just going to let it go? Let bygones be bygones? No! This," she said eagerly, "calls for revenge." She paused for emphasis. "So, I propose, that we come up with something brilliant, something astounding, something – well you get my point. So?"

Lily grinned back at her. "Sounds excellent. Can't wait. So -- what are we going to do?"

Allison was cut off by a small cough from Jade. Both girls looked at her. She looked apprehensive, and her cheeks were slightly pink. "Er..guys. Maybe we shouldn't – ah – well – pranktheMaruadersagain." She said the last part really quickly. "I mean – I guess it's okay to pull one on James or Sirius, but maybeweshouldn'tprankRemusbecauseheisreallyniceandneverdidanythingtous." She stopped for air.

Allison looked at her, bug-eyed. "'Never did anything to us? Jade – are you feeling alright? He is a Marauder. Enough said." She crossed her arms across her chest and looked at Jade expectantly, waiting for some type of defense. She didn't expect the sporty, athletic, (non-boy crazy) Jade to blush. No. That canNOT be blood rising to her cheeks. No no no no no no. This is Jade WILKINS, right?As in: doesn't care about guys, except to talk Quidditch strategies with them. Right? RIGHT? Allison thought.

Lily looked from a now very red Jade, who was very interested in her quilt, to a bug-eyed Allison. And she grinned wickedly. It didn't take a genius to see what was going on here.

"Agent Evans to Agent Taylor – I propose a new mission," she said cheekily. Allison looked quizzically back at her. Lily continued on. "Let's see. Status: 8:45 P.M. – Gryffindor Girl's Dorms. Mission: to find out what the hell is up with the subject." Lily nodded to Allison.

Allison bit the inside of cheek to refrain from laughing and continued where Lily left off. "Agent Taylor to Agent Evans, new mission established. Subject: Jade Lee Wilkins. Age: 16. Obsessed over Quidditch and no taste in fashion ('Hey!). Current situation: Involved with a certain Marauder – Remus Lupin." Allison grinned so wide, she feared the grin would swallow her face. Meanwhile Jade now resembled an overripe tomato and groaned.

"Guys," she gritted out between clenched teeth. "I AM not involved with a Marauder. I'm just saying that Remus hasn't done anything (Allison snorted), and that we should go easy on him (Allison snorts again.) Alright fine, but it's not necessarily his fault that he's a Marauder right? (Allison and Lily snort)." Jade looked skywards and then walked gracefully out of the dormitories.

BANG!

Jade had slammed the door to the dormitories shut and a muffled "some friends I have" was heard through the door.

8:47 P.M. Gryffindor Common Room

Remus looked down at his Potions essay and frowned. Describe in detail the 'Near-Death Bile', It's Pros and Cons, as Well as It's Uses in Everyday Life – Professor Dubkin sure was morbid. Only last week he had his class concoct a potion similar to the Cruciatus Curse, only it was legal. Remus shivered. Ugh.

He stretched and heard excessive giggling coming from behind him. He turned around and rolled his eyes. Sirius was sitting on the couch, flirting with a bunch of girls who were crowed around him, batting their eyelashes and clutching his arm. Ugh. They were what Remus liked to call the '3 G Girls' – 'Gossipy, Giggly, and Girly'. Revolting. He rolled his eyes again at their childish antics. He flexed his fingers a bit to soothe some of the cramping in his fingers from all that writing. Just as he was about to drag Sirius away from his many adoring groupies, he heard a slam. Remus turned towards the dormitory doors and saw a very flushed Jade storm out. He suddenly felt a little nervous and shifted his weight from one foot to another.

Jade approached him, scowling slightly. He heard her mumble some things like "great…just great…and I have to live with them…damn…."

"Er---hi Jade," Remus said calmly, his voice not betraying his nervousness. He stuck his hands in his pockets. (A/N- The Hogwarts robes probably don't have pockets but just ignore it okay?) Her head snapped up.

"Oh—ah—hi Remus," she smiled a bit before the now very loud girls caught her attention. She exhaled loudly, and turned to Remus. "This day just keeps getting better. Well Mr.Lupin – you're a prefect aren't you? Can't you take points off for— "she waved her hands around a bit "—for I don't know…being excessively annoying and disturbing the peace in here?" She looked at the girls before rolling her eyes and turning back to the boy in front of her. He grinned sheepishly. "Sorry Jade – the demented maniac needs a ego booster once a day, or he gets incredibly depressed." What! His mind screamed at him,

"OY! I resent that!" Sirius called from the couch. Jade and Remus both rolled their eyes.

She suddenly felt really awkward. Right. Non awkward silence. So Jade. So…what do you say now? "Umm…well…I was just…er….I have to go…to…er….that place….er…over there – bye!" she said quickly and exited the common room. Remus looked a bit disappointed. He turned and walked over to Sirius dragging him away from his adoring fans.

"Hey Moony! Bonnie was about to ask me out! You know the one with the really big--" Sirius was cut off by a hand over his mouth. "Affhnammhaa…"he grumped. They reached their dormitories and Remus uncovered Sirius' mouth. "Moooonneeeeeee—" Sirius wailed.

"Padfoot I –er-need your help," Remus said. Sirius brightened. "You need my help?" he said incredulously.

"Can't believe I've come to this," he muttered. "I need…well…girl help." Sirius whooped and jumped around the room. "So," he said excitedly. "What do you need help with? Oooh – you know…what's her face?…she was really--"

"PADFOOT!" Remus yelled. "Look—there's this girl and I don't think she really likes me and I really want to go out with her…" he trailed off and looked down.

Sirius nodded wisely. "Well then Moony, old friend, I have some advice for you. Let's see now…you really like her? (Remus nodded.) And she only thinks of you as a friend? (Remus nodded again.) And you're sure she would never think of you as more of a friend? (Remus scowled a little then nodded). Well Moony, here's my advice. Be subtle. (Remus snorted). But whatever you do, don't go down on your knees and plead for her to go out with you, saying: 'Please baby! Please! I really like you and I want to snog you senseless! Please say you'll go out with me!' Sirius was now on his knees, with his arms thrown out at his sides.

Remus stared at him.

Sirius coughed and stood up, brushing some 'dirt' from his robes.

"You did that?" Remus said disbelievingly.

"This—this isn't about me…"Sirius replied, fidgeting. "Besides…that will only earn you a good slap." He rubbed his jaw as if remembering something.

Remus shook his head and looked up at the sky. "As I was saying – demented maniac."

8:23 P.M. Gryffindor 6th Year Girl Dormitories

(not the same night, duh)

Lily, Jade, and Allison were all sitting on their beds talking about nothing in particular. The conversation turned towards the recent, very embarrassing little show of undergarments. But when Allison mentioned the Marauders, a certain haughty, blonde-haired girl snapped to attention and leaned over.

"Did you say something about the Marauders?" Charlotte Richards asked smoothly, the word 'Marauder's rolling off her tongue like honey. Her blue eyes were bright, and she looked on eagerly. "They are so adorable." She smiled to herself, as the three girls looked on with disgust.

"Yeah," another high-pitched voice echoed. "So adorable." Lily turned towards Celeste Harris, Charlotte's little follower. Celeste had dyed blond-brown hair and huge brown eyes. She mimicked everything thing that Charlotte did, even the way she styled her hair. She was an airhead, and completely clueless about everything.

Allison sighed. "Charlotte and Charlotte's shadow, please get out." The thing about Allison was, if she didn't like you, she made sure you knew it. Charlotte huffed, and Celeste huffed after her. "How rude," Charlotte said daintily and walked out of the dormitory, Celeste close on her heels.

Allison turned back to her friends. "So?" she asked Jade eagerly.

Jade looked a bit guilty but continued on. "Well…you know how all the pure-bloods are related to each other? All right well…my family is well connected with James' family and I often see him at gatherings or business occasions, stuff like that. Anyways, once when we were, oh about seven, I was at his house for some family gathering or whatever. James' Aunt Ethel had just given him a little pet that she had brought back from Africa (A/N: random, huh?). It was this tiny little monkey, tame and really adorable. So James named it Oogerpooky (A/N: again, complete randomness) and was playing with it all night." Jade stopped for a moment while Lily and Allison composed themselves.

"Oo—oogerp-pookey!" Allison gasped, laughing. "Who'd thought? The great James Potter?" She laughed again.

"Anyways," Jade continued, "He was playing with Oogerpooky, when his little cousin Jake toddled up. Jake was about 3 or 4-I guess, and he had stolen someone's wand. So he came toddling up, and started poking the monkey with the wand. Oogerpooky just started growing like crazy, until he was about 15 feet. Then he started growing fangs and foaming at the mouth. He growled and stomped around a bit. It took nearly an hour to reverse the spell. Poor James – he was so terrified, he was crying and all." Jade shook her head, although she was laughing too.

Lily grinned and tried to imagine a 15 foot, fanged monkey stomping around. Then as she thought of their plan, a small knot wound itself in her stomach.

(A/N: Words in Italics represents Lily's internal voice #1. Words between the /slashy things/ represent Lily's internal voice #2. Oh and Professor Duke is the stuffy old Divination teacher. Just letting you know. Now – read on.)

You KNOW this is not going to be good, her internal voice said to her knowingly.

/Oh shut up, her second voice retorted back. /It's just a little prank, that's all./

But it would be using his greatest fear against him.

/So/ her second voice questioned. /It'll knock his ego down a bit. So what/

I'm just saying, dear—

/Don't call me dear/

Fine. You'll regret this later, you know.

/Do shut up. You sound like Professor Duke. I'm going through with this./

Fine then. Don't say I didn't warn you. Oh and bye the way, you should be expecting a 'Told You So' after this is over.

/SHUT UP/
