A/n: Hey readers, sorry I haven't updated earlier, I was in my 'I'm bored and lazy' mode. But here's your reward, another chappie. I would have typed it up earlier but I was too lazy, sorry. THANK YOU ALL FOR WAITING AND FOR THE 15 REVIEWS THAT I GOT!
Allie: welcome back from your holiday.
ME: There's another chappie for you.
Auntarctic: I meant BFF, I guess I forgot to put the extra 'F'. lol. Sorry about the mix up with the double quotations (") and the single quotation thingies (').
Abby: yeah...you only read 2 chapters, so how could you judge this fic? At first they were happy, then they will be unhappy...why write a bad review for a fic if you only read the first 2 chapters out of 16?
Bluebellfairy: how unlucky. I mean, that's just plain horrible. I'm glad my school hasn't put in religion yet, although I guess they could...but I never prayed and I never will.
Blood Emerald: patience is not something that I'm good at, but you just might be good at it. And boys have been and always will be trouble. Lol.
Aquariousbaby205: sorry, It's just that I'm not a very big fan of grammar. Actually, I think that teachers just waste their time trying to teach us grammar. I said 'trying'. Lol
DP-Believe-In-Love: I think they do. Arthur Weasley had a car, The Ministry have cars.
DarkWingDark3: I know I know, I tried fixing it a couple thousand times replacing the chapter but it still won't go!
Amour-Lily: actually, it's gonna be a Christmas ball. Most people wanted to stick with the old traditional Christmas ball. I have something else planned for Halloween, although it won't work as good as a dance...oh well.
Danielle: Of course Orlando is hot! Duh!
Ali: I know I put in a lot of muggle things but just bear with me. I haven't been writing fics for very long, in fact, I only took up writing after I opened an account on fanfiction. Before I've never written any kind of stories unless you count a Halloween story for English class.
Lils: You're the second person to tell me that. Or is it the third?
Flame Of Desire: I agree. And here's more.
Review: your review made me laugh, lol.
Fath8252: I couldn't be more proud, lol.
P.S. I am sooooooooo pissed. The computer won't let me do my favorite pattern for the diving line.

Chapter 17
Bad Moods and Evil Tempers (Part 2)
QXQXQXQXQXQXQXQXQXQXQ
James was sitting by a desk in the library. He had a book plopped up and he was 'reading' it. He wasn't really reading, he was just thinking about things. He went to the library to have something to do. He didn't know where Sirius and Remus were and he didn't really care either. He was too mixed up in his own world with his own problems to care. Ever since Lily broke up with him, everything went wrong. For the first time, he had actually had to study for his classes. Normally, classes and lessons came naturally to him, but he was beginning to fall back. He had a 'T' in his Potions class. Potions came pretty easily to him so naturally, he was surprised. He wasn't good at Quidditch anymore, he really stunk at practices.
Sirius came in with Remus. Spotting James, he hurried to him.
"Hey Prongs old pal, wanna go play a prank on the Slytherins?" asked Sirius.
"Nah."
"Wanna go flood the dungeons?"
"Nah."
"Wanna play Quidditch?"
"Nah."
"Something's wrong." Said Remus. "Since when has James turned down Quidditch?"
"Come on Prongs, lets go 'freshen up' the Slytherins wardrobe."
"I don't feel like it."
"Prongs you gotta do something."
"I am doing something, I'm studying."
"Do something fun. And changing the Slytherins wardrobe is fun."
"No it's not, it's just immature."
"Immature? Are you feeling okay?" asked Sirius, attempting to feel James's forehead.
James pushed him away. "I'm feeling fine. I just don't feel like pranking."
"James, get over Lily already, okay?" said Remus.
"I'm over her." said James.
"Right."
"No, I really am." Insisted James. "Here I'll show you." He got out a picture of Lily and tore it up, throwing the pieces on the floor. "See?"
"Good, now let's go prank." Said Sirius.
"But—
"Let's go."
"I don't wanna." James glanced at the pieces of Lily picture. He sighed. "Oh who am I kidding, I can't live without her!" he picked up the pieces and repaired the picture with his wand.
"I knew it. You can't spend a second without thinking about her." said Sirius.
James put his head in his hands, "What am I to do?"
"Get a new girlfriend. One that's a good kisser." Said Sirius.
"Lily is a good kisser." Said James.
"No, forget about Lily, Lily doesn't count." Said Sirius.
"Pick anyone but Lily." Added Remus.
"OK, how 'bout Stacy?" asked James.
Sirius glared at him. "You're not getting any ideas are you?"
"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not." Said James slyly.
"Don't even think about it or..." Sirius made a motion of his fist slamming into his palm.
"Okay, okay, you know I was just kidding." Said James hastily. One thing that he did not wanna come in contact was Sirius's fist. Of all the muggle-dueling that Sirius got into, he came on top 99.9% of the time. He only lost once when 3 huge Slytherins decided that it would be fun to body slam him. Unfortunately James wasn't there to help him.
"How about Katie Pike?" suggested Remus. "She's available."
"No she's not. Although I'm pretty sure that James could make her available." Sirius nudged James. "One wink from James is all it takes."
"Who's she going out with?" asked Remus.
"Justin Bang." Said Sirius.
"She is? I didn't know that, when did they get together?"
"Quite a while ago. But they were going out in secret."
"You guys sound like Megan and Christa." Said James. [background info: Megan and Christa are the popular girls that like to gossip, which is what Sirius and Remus are doing. :P]
"Why?" asked Sirius.
"Cause you're gossiping like women. Oh I didn't know that, they are going out? Oh my gosh..." James said in a high pitched girly voice.
"We do not sound like that." Protested Sirius.
"Ya'll should be women instead of men." Said James.
Remus blushed.
"Hey!" protested Sirius. "That's not true. And it's interesting to know the social life of Katie. Did you know that she's cheating on Justin with Brandon?"
"I knew that she was with Brandon but I didn't consider it cheating." Said Remus eagerly.
"I wonder how she's kept Justin in the dark for so long. I can't even hide a wink from my girlfriend, she's like a hawk."
"She probably (Katie)..." Remus continued chatting.
"Confusing, my head hurts." James moaned.
"Yep, Katie's life is confusing. Maybe you shouldn't go for her, she's cheating on too many guys." Said Sirius.
"Not that." Said James. "I'm I don't' know what I feel for Lily anymore."
"Oh. That." Said Remus darkly.
"What is there to be confused about? Either you like her or you don't." said Sirius.
"Look, I like her, I do, but if she doesn't like me then there can be nothing. I'm trying to hate her, but I can't. Even if she two-timed me with Snape or something, I could never hate her." Said James.
Sirius looked at James sympathetically. "It's okay Prongs."
"No it's not, have you ever been in this kind of situation?" asked James.
"Well...uh...not really. But I know how it must feel." Said Sirius.
"If you've never experienced it then how could you know anything?" said James.
"Listen, you gotta get over this cause you're about to lose one of your best friends, meaning if you don't get over it, I'm not your friend." Said Sirius.
James looked at him. "If you don't wanna be my friend then don't."
"Fine, I won't." Sirius paused. "Never mind, that was a horrible thing to say. I'm tired of this shit that you keep pulling, why deepen a scar if that scar still hurts? Why put yourself through more pain than you're already in?"
James shrugged. "I don't know what I'm doing anymore. I nearly fell off my broom yesterday when I went out to clear my head."
"No offense but you need to quit your depressed stage." Said Remus.
"You're being to harsh Moony." Said Sirius.
"Harsh isn't even the word, he's being so mean!" said James, pretending to be hurt.
"Just saying the truth." Remus shrugged.
"Meanie."
"Very funny now what about the prank?" said Sirius.
"What about it?"
"Are you going to go with us or not?" asked Remus.
"well..."
"Come on, have some fun, it'll get your mind off of you-know-who." [Lily for those people that can't figure out what they're talking about.]
"I guess I should."
"Let's go. We really need your help on deciding what kind of wardrobe the Slytherins will get."
"All right."
They went to the Gryffindor Tower to get the necessary supplies and for James to drop of the books that he was 'studying'. Then they sneaked into the Slytherin Common Room, wearing rubber boots, gloves, protective clothing and air masks so they wouldn't have to breathe the Slytherin air and touch anything.
AFTER THEY WERE DONE...
"I can't wait to see the Slytherins in the morning when they realize they have to wear that. It'll be hilarious when they show up for breakfast." Said Sirius evilly.
"It's gonna be so funny. Maybe we'll embarrass them enough that they have to transfer to another school, hopefully in Antarctica." Said James.
"That might not happen but I'm pretty sure they'll be embarrassed." Said Remus.
"That's for sure. I can't wait to se their faces. They'll be so disgusted." Said James. [for those people who think the new wardrobe will be Gryffindor uniforms, you're wrong...it's something much much much funnier]
"We should stop praising ourselves and get some fireworks for tomorrow when the Slytherins arrive." Said Remus.
"Good idea. You are so smart Moony." Said Sirius.
"God, Remus you're so smart, are you Einstein?" said James mockingly. [he likes to read muggle books]
"Who's Einstein?" asked Sirius, confused.
"Never mind that."
"I know I'm smart but what are you?" asked Remus.
"Smarter." Said Sirius and James together.
"So what should we do now?"
"Dunno. How about go back up to the Common Room and plan our next prank?" asked James.
"Good idea."
At that moment, a group of giggly girls [a.k.a, the fanclub of the 3 Marauders] surrounded them.
"HI James, Remus, Sirius." The girls had a dreamy look on their faces.
"Uh...hi ladies. Would you mind letting us through?' asked Sirius.
The girls didn't hear them cause the hallway was overlapped with chatter.
"Sirius—
"James—
"Remus—
"What are you doing today in the evening?"
"Are you free?"
"James—
"Sirius wanna go out?"
"Remus, are you busy?'
"What about me?"
"Are you free tomorrow?"
"awww...you have a girlfriend?"
"James! You promised in 2nd year."
"Heard you broke up with Lily."
"Remus I know that you don't have a girlfriend."
"Can you go out with me?"
"You look so cute when you're confused."
"Why are you acting...scared?"
"Remus you're such a hunk."
"Back off, Remus is mine."
"Oh yeah? Well I call Sirius!"
""nu-uh, I called Sirius."
"Then I get James."
"James is mine."
"HEEEEEEELP!" yelled Sirius. "WE'RE BEING ATTACKED. HEEEEEEELP!"
But Sirius's yelling was hardly heard because the girls were now fighting and yelling.
"Prongs, how do we get out?" yelled Remus.
"WHAT?"
"HOW DO WE GET OUT?"
"MY SHOEEEEE! GIME BACK MY SHOE YOU CREEPY GIRL!" yelled Sirius.
James made a motion with his wand.
"WHAT?"
James muttered some spell and he rose into the air and flew above the screaming/fighting girls and landed safely on the ground a good 10 meters away.
"Oh." Said Remus to himself, He motioned to Sirius to watch him. Sirius didn't see him cause he was being pushed into the middle of his screaming fan club. Remus muttered "wingardium Leviosa" and rose into the air, then landing by James's side.
"Where's Sirius?" asked James.
"Still inside. I couldn't see him so he has no idea what to—
"HEEEELP! HEY, GIMME MY SLEEVE BACK!"
"do." Remus finished.
James clicked his tongue then waved his wand. Sirius came flying out. Unlike James and Remus, he landed on his butt. It was indeed, Sirius's right sleeve was missing and so was his shoe.
"Lets run, before they find out I've escaped." Said Sirius panting.
They ran as fast as their legs would carry them. In the common room, they all collapsed each on a chair, or in Sirius's case, the couch right next to Stacy who was reading something.
"Sirius? What happened to you? And where's your shoe?" said Stacy.
"Torn...it...crazy...bitches...fanclub..." Sirius was blabbing.
"Fanclub?" Stacy rose an eyebrow.
"The...girls...that...are...crazy...bitches...nearly escaped..." gasped Sirius.
"Escaped?"
"Attacked us...tore my sleeve...stupid girls..." gasped Sirius.
"Who attacked who?"
"The "Sirius Fanclub" attacked us." Said James.
Stacy snorted. "Fanclub?"
"Not to mention the "James Fanclub" too." Said Remus.
"And the "Remus Fan club"." Said James.
"Ya'll have fanclubs?"
"We didn't organize them! It's those evil fanclub girls..." said James.
"Need...water...very...tired..." Sirius gasped, laying down next to Stacy.
Maria came in. "Hey ya'll, what's up?"
"Stacy, please tell her how I got nearly trampled." Said Sirius,
"Trampled? You're overreacting." Said Stacy. Stacy told Maria what's been going on.
"You couldn't get away from girls?" said Maria disbelievingly.
"It's hard work." Said Sirius. "Getting away from stalkers who do nothing but stalk.."
Lily came in. "Who's stalking who?"
"Evans." Said Maria, staring at lily with a scorn on her face.
"Orad." Said Lily, determingly staring back at Maria.
"The Marauders supposedly got 'trampled' by their adoring fans." Said Stacy.
"Good for them."
"Good? We nearly died!" exclaimed Sirius.
Lily didn't hear him. "So Orad, when are you going to dress like a normal person? Or are you too poor to afford some clothes?"
"Oh Evans, are you ever gonna get those nasty tangles out of your hair? Or did you forget what a brush is?"
"What's going on?" asked James.
"There's definitely something wrong." Said Stacy.
"Actually, I just came here to get my book but never mind. If I stay in the same room with her for another minute, I'll become a nerd." Said Lily, starting to leave.
"Newsflash...you are one." Said Maria.
Lily left.
"Good. And don't come back for a loooong time. Trust me, none will miss you!" Maria called after her.
"What was that?" asked Remus.
"Nothing." Maria shrugged before turning to her magazine.
Stacy exchanged raised eyebrows with the Marauders. Something was definitely up with those two.

A/n: Personally , I thought that the part about them being attacked by girls was very funny. But of course I wrote it so I should think it's funny...lol.
Although I wrote this chapter while I was in school [mind you, I got into trouble a lot while writing it] it still took me a while. Turns out I made the chapter like 13 or 14 pages so I had to cut some stuff out and leave some stuff for later chapters. Even though it ended up being long either way. So I'm in confusion right now. But at least parts of different chapters are written now...I guess that's good. :D
Again, sorry for not updating earlier. Well what are you waiting for? REVIEW IF YOU'RE NOT MAD AT ME! It's the only way you can show me that you're not mad. Lol. Am I expecting too much? I guess I am. But just so you know, I'm not gonna update if no one reviews.
IF YOU READ THIS THEN YOU'RE STUPID CAUSE I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT I SAID REVIEW IN PRACTICALLY EVERY CHAPTER THAT I EVER POSTED! WELL, FOR THOSE THAT STILL DON'T GET IT......REVIEW!!!
