Disclaimer: Ok...I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters.

Right now I'm writing this on my first day at Lynbrook High School (it's so cool! I'm in high school now!). I don't have a first period, so what better to do than write the fourth chapter of my fanfic? My friend, Jasmine, is reading over my shoulder (I'm gonna read it eventually, so why are you hiding it from me? she says) Jasmine is writing her POTC fanfic. I want to read it, but she won't let me read what she's writing or what her username is. Grr...anyways, let's continue on with the story instead of hearing (or reading?) me go on and on about insignificant events.

Ch 4. A Sense of Direction.

Harry turned towards Ron.

"Sirius told me that my dad was born at 1:47 p.m. and then chuckled. I didn't get why it was so funny until now."

Ron looked back, "That's all very interesting, mate, but let's please continue reading."

The Marauder's Journal

Ch 3. Oh Padfoot, where for art thou? (did we spell that right?)

James walked around extremely frustrated. Lily had just called him an obsessed stalker/pervert. They had gotten into a fight and James was wondering whether Remus's advice would really work. "Get to know her." Remus had said. James, figuring Lily would never allow him to talk to her, decided instead to follow her everywhere she went. When Lily figured it out, they had a fight. "How I am supposed to find out about her now?!" James yelled.

Sirius, Remus, and Peter sighed. They were beginning to think James was a hopeless case.

"Maybe you shouldn't have stalked her, mate." Sirius supplied.

"Then how am I supposed to...."

"Prongs," Remus frowned, " When I said get to know her I meant talk to her, not stalk her. Now, I think the only think that would help you with Lily is to truthfully apologize to her."

"Apologize?!" James looked as if someone had stabbed him. "TRUTHFULLY?!"

Peter fainted.

"You just asked Prongs to do the impossible!" Sirius shouted, "Prongs has never 'TRUTHFULLY' apologized to anyone but us!"

"He's going to have to do it now or else he'll never get anywhere with Lily." Remus replied calmly.

James gulped. Lily was coming over.....fast.

He was surprised the Lily would even meet with him. James had went through the painful effort of convincing Con (short for Consuela if you don't know), Lily's best friend, that he was actually apologizing to Lily and not to tell Lily that. Con went up to Lily, told her James had something important to say, and then told her to meet him in the Great Hall. Lily had decided to show up.

"Well?" Lily asked raising one eyebrow.

"Err......." James didn't know where to start. "About what happened yesterday? I apologize for stalking you and I was only trying to get to know you better, but I didn't think you would talk to me, so I stalked you instead." James was glad it was all over now.

"What?" Lily said.

Oh great! I have to repeat that all? James thought.

"I meant......" he began.

"No...." Lily said, "I meant you're actually 'TRUTHFULLY' apologizing to me?"

"Yeah."

"Then, apology accepted." Lily replied. "I didn't know you had it in you, James." Lily smiled at him. A TRUE smile.

She smiled at me! James was so happy words could not describe. Lily had never in her lifetime smiled at him except on the first day they met which was at Diagon Alley before school started. We'll talk about that later.

James danced, YES DANCED, around the boy's dormitory room.

Prongs: Do we have to write about this?

Padfoot: We're just explaining how happy you were.

Prongs: But it's embarrassing!

Padfoot: I know.

Prongs: Fine then. I'll write an embarrassing moment for you too Padfoot. It happens to happen right after this.

Moony: You mean the bathroom moment?

Prongs: Yes.

Wormtail: snickers

Padfoot: Wait you can't do that! You can't!

Prongs: Can and will Padfoot. grabs quill from Padfoot and runs away

Padfoot: ARRRGH!!!!!!! chases after Prongs

Moony: Well, grabs out his own quill and begins to write since Prongs can't do his own work right now, I'll do it for him.

James kept repeating, "She smiled at me! She actually smiled!"

"We get the point, Prongs." a very annoyed Sirius replied.

"WOOHOO!!!!!!" James grabbed a random object out of his pocket and threw it into the air. That random object was his wand. James's wand omitted a series of sparks and hit Sirius right on the head. There was a explosion of gold smoke and red sparks and then Sirius was lying unconscious on the carpet.

"PADFOOT!!!!!!!!!" James, Remus, and Peter ran to their friend.

"Eh?" Padfoot slowly regained consciousness. "What happened?"

"I'm soooooo sorry Padfoot!" James cried. "I was so happy that I threw my wand into the air while shouting 'WOOHOO!!!!!!' and it hit you on the head and then there was an explosion of gold smoke and red sparks and you were lying unconscious on the floor! Do you feel all right, Padfoot?"

"It's ok Prongs," Sirius replied. "I don't feel jinxed or anything, but I really have to go to the bathroom. I been meaning to go ever since you started dancing." With that Padfoot got up, walked out the door and turned to the left.

"Wait.." James looked at the direction Sirius had just gone. "Isn't the bathroom to the right Moony?"

"Yes, right next to our room on the right." Remus replied looking curiously at James. "Why do you ask?"

"Because Padfoot just went to the left."

Remus gasped. "Prongs! You did jinx him!" Remus rushed over to his book bag and grabbed out a book titled Unnoticeable Jinxes. "Here!" Remus pointed to a part in the book and James and Peter rushed over to look at it. Remus read it aloud. "'The Loss of Your Sense of Direction Jinx (also called LOYSOD Jinx) is particularly hard to conjure. The spell caster must be in a state of true happiness (most affective happiness is one produced by the spell caster's crush smiling at him or her for the first time) and must throw his or her wand into the air in the process of being extreme happy. While throwing his or her wand into the air, the spell caster must also scream the incantation "WOOHOO!!!!!!" at the same time. Then the spell will cause the affected person to lose all senses of direction. The counter curse for the LOYSOD Jinx is particularly hard to conjure as well (see Unnoticeable Jinx Counter curses).'"

"That's exactly what happened." James shuddered. "I just caused my best friend to lose his sense of direction! This is horrible!"

"It's not your fault, Prongs. " Remus patted James reassuringly on the back. "It's a common mistake. That's why so many people end up in St. Mungo's. The Unnoticeable Jinxes are easy to not purposefully conjure."

James stared at Remus, confused by what Remus had just said, and was about to say something when suddenly Peter interrupted him.

"Err...Prongs? Moony?," Peter looked at the direction Padfoot had gone, "Shouldn't we go after Padfoot....I mean I think we lost him."

James, Remus, and Peter ran down the direction, which Padfoot had not so long ago traveled.

Sirius was confused. Where was that cursed bathroom? He remembered a couple minutes ago when he walked through a door, thinking it was the boy's bathroom, and walked in to find a ton of girls, later screaming and throwing lipstick, mascara, and toilet paper at him as he ran to the door to get out, and figured out he had just walked into the girl's bathroom.

Sirius was very frustrated when suddenly he realized he didn't know where he was. This was horrible! He was lost in the castle, had just recently been chased out of the girl's bathroom, and he REALLY had to GO. Sirius looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings extremely frustrated. This had never happened before.

Meanwhile, James, Remus, and Peter were looking for their friend when they ran into someone they did not want to meet. Severus Snape.

"You're looking for Black aren't you, Potter?" Snape sneered at James.

"What?" James glared back, "Have you seen him?"

"I may have, Potter, I may."

"Tell me. NOW!" James was about to pull out his wand when a familiar voice called his name. He turned around and saw.....Lily!

"James......" Lily panted as she ran over to him, "I saw Sirius.....he's...actually was....in the girl's bathroom."

Sirius was in the girl's bathroom?! James made a mental note to give Sirius a hard time about that afterwards. "Where did he go afterwards?"

Lily opened up her mouth to speak, but Snape interrupted her, "Of course your little mudblood friend wouldn't be able to tell you! She was too busy throwing lipstick, mascara, and toilet paper at Black!"

"I was not!" Lily cried, "I was trying to get to him, but everyone else was throwing things at him!"

"Apologize to Lily!" James shouted at Snape.

Snape sneered back at him and walked away. Lily all of the sudden felt a sudden sense of shock. This had happened before somewhere, where James had asked Snape to apologize to her. She just couldn't find out where. Without even saying goodbye she ran off.

Sirius was still lost.

James wondered why Lily had run off so fast. "Was it something I said?" he asked Remus.

"Of course not." Remus replied, "She was just upset that Snape called her a.....you-know-what."

Suddenly James, Remus, and Peter heard footsteps. The footsteps grew louder and whoever was causing them seemed to be in a great hurry. They were coming from the Great Hall. All three friends ran into there to find........Sirius!

"Prongs! Moony! Wormtail!" Sirius flung himself onto James and began sobbing really loud, "I thought I would never see you again! I got lost......and.........(Sirius left out the part of entering the girl's bathroom)....and......thank goodness you came to look for me! I don't even know where I am!" Sirius broke down into hysterical tears.

James looked quite embarrassed as he patted Sirius on the back reassuringly. "Err.......Padfoot? You're in the Great Hall."

Padfoot raised his head and looked around. "Are you sure Prongs?"

James, Remus, and Peter all nodded.

"By the way, the boys bathroom was right next to our dormitory to the right." Peter added.

"Then....how.....what......" Sirius fainted.

Moony: Ah.....I'm finished.

Prongs: returns without Padfoot's quill I see you've done my work for me, Moony, old pal.

Wormtail: It's good isn't it?

Prongs: Stunning.

Padfoot: returns with his quill in his hand (apparently he got it back from Prongs) Ok......let's continue on with the story.

Prongs: Moony's finished most of it.

Padfoot: What? Let me read it. reads it HEY! My embarrassing moment in here! Moony! How dare you! I'll kill you! Then....how.....what...... faints

Wormtail: Hey! Deja vu!

Prongs: Let's continue writing shall we? kicks Padfoot's unconscious body away

Later, in the dormitory, James, Remus, and Peter explained to Sirius what had happened. James had given Sirius a hard time for entering the girl's bathroom, while Remus explained the spell that was cast upon him, while Sirius went to the bathroom, and while Wormtail did not nothing but listen. Sirius then asked, "How do you perform the counter curse then?"

Remus took out a book titled Unnoticeable Jinx Counter curses and read aloud, "'The counter curse for the Loss of your Sense of Direction Jinx (LOYSOD Jinx) is also particularly difficult. The spell caster who originally performed the LOYSOD Jinx must do the following. The spell caster must wed his crush, and during the wedding, make the jinxed person his best man. Then, the spell is complete when the spell caster gives birth to his child, which must be a son. This son must have his first name as Harry. He must look exactly like his father except for his eyes, which must be like his mother's. After this is done, the jinxed person is free from the LOYSOD Jinx'"

"WHAT?!" Sirius, who had luckily finished doing his cough business in the bathroom jumped off the toilet.

"Wow." James smiled, "Now I have an excuse to marry Lily. And Harry's not a bad name for a son."

"That's too many coincidences! What happens if James's son looks like Lily and has James's eyes?! What happens if James has a daughter as his first child?! What happens if Lily doesn't like the name Harry?! What happens if I do not become James's best man and you do, Remus?! What happens if James never marries Lily?! I'll be direction deprived forever!!!!!!!!!"

As Sirius moaned and complained, everyone else went to bed.

Padfoot: gets up What happened?

Moony: You fainted.

Padfoot: Because? Oh....you've finished the chapter! Let me read it. reads it HEY! My embarrassing moment is in here! Moony! How dare you! I'll kill you! Then....how.....what...... faints.

Wormtail: Hey! Deja vu!

Prongs: Deja vu!

Moony: Shut up you guys.

Prongs: Dear old Padfoot still doesn't have his sense of direction because we haven't graduated yet. I wouldn't mind if my son looked like me with Lily's eyes. Lily's eyes are beautiful.

Moony: Prongs, stop getting sentimental.

Prongs, Moony, and Wormtail: kick Padfoot's unconscious body aside

Author's Note: Ok...yes I made up the LOYSOD Jinx.....and no...the jinx doesn't really exist.

Sirius's is like my friend, Arlene, no sense of direction. Sorry Arlene.
