A/n: Hello all! First of all, I'm truly sorry about not typing this up earlier. My teachers are expecting too much of me. I can tell you one thing, I never do well at tests. Writing this fic is practically the only thing that makes me happy. Thank you who reviewed, you know, reviews inspire a writer to write more.

Acatm: who isn't sad that James and Lily aren't together? Everyone is. Well, probably everyone.

FireFairy05: I watch to many soap operas so I guess I picked up on the romance/humor thing. And a reviewer suggested the name Selena, I can't remember who. And I do know what huggles means since I spend half of my time in chat. Lol. What would we do without technology?

Mary: yes, I did exaggerate it a bit. Sorry about that. By the way, I tried to e-mail you but it said that that e-mail address wasn't valid....

WoW-Girl: thank you. And of course I'll continue...I've grown quite fond of this fic. lol.

Charmergirl07: I was laughing when I was writing that part about them being attacked by girls. I've had that idea for a while but I never used it and now I did!

Auntarctic: of course it's great. All my chapters are great. Lol, joking.

Blacks Gurl: I read your story and reviewed. Aren't you proud of me?

Gaby Black: Yes, I know that I have some mistakes like that, I apologize.

Allie; it's a mystery....you won' t know till you read. Hehe

Wahooligan08: where were you? I was thinking, where is she? What happened? Why isn't she reviewing? Doesn't she like this fic anymore? But now you're back, yay!

Fath8252: lol. Evil monkey buts. Lol again. And I'm glad you're not mad. :-)

Chapter 18

The Marauders are back

QZQZQZQZQZQZQZQZQ

"Eep, I can't find my make up!" exclaimed Stacy.

"Use mine." Said Lily.

"NO, I need my make up, you don't have the right colors!" exclaimed Stacy.

"Okay, you're freaking me out." Said Maria.

"Stacy, it's no like you need to look great for boys." Said Lily.

"Yes I do." said Stacy, still searching for her make up bag.

"Why? You've got a boyfriend."

"So? Just because I have a boyfriend doesn't mean that I have to forget about looking glamorous." Said Stacy. "Ooh, I found it." She picked up the bag and began putting on make up.

Lily snorted. "Glamorous?"

"I have a reputation to protect." Said Stacy, now putting on blush.

"o-kay." Said Lily.

"Of course you wouldn't know anything about having a reputation now would you Evans?" asked Maria scornfully.

Lily glared at her. "Well what would you know about it?"

"Well certainly more than you." Said Maria. Ever since the argument in the Common Room, Lily and Maria had barely spoken a word to each other. If Maria entered a room, Lily would leave. If Lily entered a room, Maria would leave. Maria had even gone as far as sleeping in the 6th years Girl's Dorm room. Fortunately Stacy put a stop to that immediately. So now the Girls Dorm was practically the only time that Lily and Maria came in contact. A/n: yes, they are fighting over a stupid thing, but didn't that ever happen to you?

Lily was about to say something but Stacy stopped her.

"Enough of this rubbish. Now what happened that made you two act like this?" asked Stacy.

"We had a fight." Said Lily.

"A fight about what?"

"Nothing." Lily muttered.

"Yep, nothing." Said Maria.

"I'm going." Lily stood up. "Stacy, should I wait for you?"

"You can go. Stacy's coming with me." Said Maria.

"Then I'm staying." Lily crossed her arms.

A couple seconds passed.

"Well? What are you waiting for? Go." Maria motioned with her arms toward the door.

"No you can go cause I'm not going anywhere."

"Well neither am I." both of them crossed their arms and glared at each other.

Stacy gave a frustrated sigh and said, "Come on, we'll go together. You'll be on one side of me and the other will be on another. And you don't have to talk."

"Fine." Said Lily.

Maria shrugged.

Stacy sighed and the three of them exited the girls Dorm.

MEANWHILE IN THE BOYS DORM...

"HA! I win again!" Shouted Sirius gleefully.

"You cheated." Said Remus. Sirius and Remus were playing gobstones.

"Guys, has anyone seen my sock?" asked Peter pitifully.

"I don't cheat in gobstones." Said Sirius.

"Right, you cheat on girls instead." Said James.

"Prongs that hurts. You know that I would never do that." Said Sirius, faking a deeply hurt look.

"Has anyone seen my sock? It has little butterflies and flowers on it." Said Peter, rummaging around his trunk. (A/n: Go to hell you creep! (Peter). Lol. Had to get that out.)

"Whatever, you still cheat." Said Remus.

"Do not."

"Do too."

"Do not."

"Do too."

"Do not times a thousand."

"Do too times infinity." Said Remus.

Sirius paused for a moment. "Uh......Do not times infinity times infinity times infinity."

Remus smirked. "Do too times infinity times eternity times infinity times eternity times infinity times eternity times infinity times eternity."

"Do not times in—

"You guys stop!" exclaimed James. "I have a headache."

"Like usual."

"Has anyone seen my sock?" asked Peter again.

"Yeah Wormtail, I think I used it to wipe the dust off my broom." Said James.

"Oh. Then has anyone seen my pants?"

-------------

IN THE COMMON ROOM...

"SHUT IT ORAD!" Yelled lily.

"DON'T TELL ME TO SHUT UP! SHUT UP YOURSELF!"

"GET A LIFE. OF YOUR OWN."

"I ALREADY HAVE ONE UNLIKE YOU!"

Stacy sighed. Once those two started, it was impossible to break them up. She still couldn't get a single word out of them about what they were fighting about. At times like these she really wished that she was able to perform Legilimency. (A/n: Legilimency- The ability to read peoples thoughts. Page #530 in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.)

BACK TO THE BOYS DORM...

"Sirius, why are you acting like a ravin' lunatic?" asked Remus.

"I—didn't—cheat..." said Sirius, running around the room.

"Can you please stop running in circles? You're making my head dizzy." Said James.

"Has anyone seen my homework?" asked Peter.

"What did it look like?" asked Remus.

"I—didn't—cheat..."

"It was a Transfiguration essay." Said Peter.

"No, I haven't seen it."

"I—don't—cheat..."

"Okay, okay, you didn't cheat." Said Remus.

Sirius stopped running in circles. "Thank you."

"Are we ever gonna go to breakfast?" asked James.

"Food!" exclaimed Sirius.

"I'll take that as a yes."

"Okay." Said Remus.

"Charge!" Yelled Sirius, taking out an invisible sword and waving it around.

James laughed. "lets go."

The foursome went down to the Common Room to see Stacy sitting by herself.

"Hey baby, where are Lily and Maria?" asked Sirius, giving Stacy a peck on the lips.

"Dunno. They had a fight and both went off in different directions."

"Oh well." Said Sirius cheerfully.

"Why are you so happy?" asked Stacy suspiciously.

"You'll see."

The group went down to the Great Hall and took their regular seats. A minute after Lily came in, followed by Maria. Lily frowned as she scanned the table. There were only two seats available, one next to James and one next to Remus. Maria came up behind her and quickly took the seat by Remus. Lily sighed and sat down by James.

"Oh where are the Slytherins?" asked Sirius impatiently.

"Have some patience. They're probably trying to find a way to get out of doing it." Said Remus.

"I don't have patience, I want to see them NOW!" Said Sirius.

"Gosh Sirius, since when had you been so eager to see Slytherins?" asked Lily.

"Since they're the joke." Replied Sirius, his eyes scanning the entrance to the Great Hall.

"What joke?" asked Maria curiously.

"You'll see." Said Remus.

A minute passed. Then cautiously, trying to attract as less attention as possible, the red-faced angry Slytherins came in. they were wearing their Slytherin robes that looked as if they were dunked in green slime. The slime was on also on their hands.

"3...2...1..." Sirius counted off before......BAM! Fireworks exploded right on top of the Slytherins, causing everyone too look their way. All of a sudden everyone started laughing at what the Slytherins were wearing. They all had slimy green t-shirts that had something written on each of them. Squinting to see better, Stacy read the nearest one which happened to be Snape's. It said "I'm a slimy rotten dick that needs to get a clue."

Regulus Black, (Sirius' smaller brother), had "I'm a worthless piece of junk who will be better off dead."

On Bellatrix's T-shirt it said, "I'm a bitch (and proud of it) who's so stupid that I had to be held back." Bellatrix wasn't happy. She was very red from embarrassment and angry at Sirius since she knew only he would dare insult her like that. It was common knowledge that Bellatrix was repeating her 7th year since she failed the N.E.W.T.S test.

Stacy read the others with amusement. Some said very mean insults, some were embarrassing, and some were just plain funny.

Meanwhile Sirius and the gang were dying from laughter. Remus had to hold onto the table to not fall off of his chair. Sirius was pounding on the table and laughing like a maniac, Peter was rolling on the floor, and James was in pain from laughing. Even Lily looked amused with the marauders prank. Usually she would tell them off for pranking on the Slytherins again but she didn't seem to mind today.

"POTTER, BLACK, LUPIN, PETTIGREW, DETTENTION FOR 1 MONTH!" shouted McGonagall.

"Now professor, don't you think that's very harsh?" asked James, pouting.

"Professor McGonagall, you look ravishing today." Sirius said.

"Yes, and also not a day older than 21." Joined in James.

"Oh, why thank you..." blood crept up to McGonagall's face. Was she actually blushing? The Marauders comments always got to her.

Professor Dung (Potions master and Slytherin Head) tapped his foot impatiently. "Minerva, I believe that these boys need 3 months of detention rather than one. these boys have embarrassed and insulted my pupils and personally, I will not and can not stand that."

"Shut up dumbo." Muttered Sirius.

"What did you say Mr. Black?" asked Dung.

"Nothing." Sirius muttered.

"Good. Now since the day that these boys came to this school, they have been playing mean and embarrassing tricks on my pupils. Personally, I think that 3 months of detention for all of them and a life-long ban from Quidditch for Mr. Black and Mr. Potter will do."

"What? Are you crazy?" asked James disbelievingly. "No Quidditch?"

"You can't do that." Said Sirius.

"No, he cannot but I am giving you 4 months of detention." Said McGonagall.

"4 MONTHS!" shouted James and Sirius disbelievingly.

"Be happy it's not 5." Said McGonagall before turning around and leaving.

"Man, she's crazy." Said Sirius.

"4 months?" asked Peter.

"Be happy its not 5." James mimicked McGonagall.

"But I didn't even do anything." Said Peter sadly.

"Well you don't always have to do something to get into trouble. If you're a Marauder than you don't look for trouble, trouble finds you." Said Remus.

"4 months, man this sucks." Said Sirius.

Lily walked up to the marauders. "Good job guys. And James..."

"Yeah?" asked James dully. He knew that he was about to get the old "you're Head Boy so act like one" talks from Lily.

"Nice prank." Lily left.

"I'll see you later." Said Stacy as she joined Lily's side. "Maria? Are you coming?"

"Nope." Said Maria.

"Good." Stacy dragged her out with Lily.

"Did Lily just say nice prank?" asked James.

"Yup."

"To me?"

"Yes."

"Wow...I think she's warming up to me." Said James.

"Riight." Chorused the rest of the guys.
