A/n: Hey! Very sorry for the long wait, I didn't have time to write at all. Either homework, C2 community I'm still looking for members if you're interested. Leave your e-mail with a review. You don't have to leave the user ID; I just found out that you can just type in a person's username. Lol. Wish I was smart enough to read that part before I tried finding everyone's user ID. I wasted a lot of time doing that. , chat rooms or school kept me away from my precious Microsoft Word and Chapter 20. Oh how I've grown to love it. Lol. Anyways, I need to shut up since I know ya'll are eager to go on and read the damn chapter. But first, a big thank you to all my reviewers, I love ya'll and I always leave a little message for you.

IcyCrystal: Your story rocks too. Glad you like it.
Hpandfriendsruletheword: No duh! Of course they'll get back together eventually. They still have the hots for each other, just that both of them don't wanna admit it.
HorseCrazyjjm: Thank you for reviewing.
Prettypinkpeacock: Of course I'm not done! I'm planning to have a sequel of when they're adults after this one. So I am so so far from done.
IcyCrystal: How many times do I have to keep telling you that your fics are great? Well, once again, your fics are great.
Allie: aw.........it's so nice to hear from such a sweet reviewer. And yes, I would be updating much faster if it wasn't for homework and stupid fucking asshole teachers. Sorry about the cussing but this is PG-13 so I can cuss.
DancerForLife3320: I read your fic and reviewed.
Wahooligan08: lol. I hate outlines, summaries, taking notes, doing work, basically I hate school. That's exactly why I thought up of the cruel and unusual punishment.
Kaelin Brooke Spar: Glad you like it.
Auntarctic: ha ha. You started CRYING? Oh my gosh! Lol.
Immy: I took my manicure of later after a day cause it didn't match with my outfit for school.

The weekend passed quickly for the Marauders. Then came the day they were dreading— Monday. Each was preparing in their own way. Remus checked out some cooking books from the library. James was trying to sweet talk Professor McGonagall into letting them not cook. It wasn't working at all. Then he tried to sweet talk the house-elves so that they would cook for them. Every time he said something very nice to them, they would burst out crying and weep out blessings about James and how he was a gift from Heaven. Eventually James stopped trying to persuade the house-elves. Peter was being a worrywart and Sirius— he was the worst out of all of them. He became just plain weird. He was acting very odd indeed. He kept saying things like "I'm gonna miss this when we become house-elves." Or "I feel myself shrinking to a house-elf's size."

THE BIG DAY, A.K.A., MONDAY MORNING IN THE KITCHENS...
"Ahh, it's on fire!" screamed Sirius, pointing at the oven.
"Sirius, get a grip, there's supposed to be a fire there." Said Remus.
"Okay, what are we supposed to cook?" asked James.
"Um.....McGonagall said we have to help make bacon, eggs, and toast and maybe pancakes." Replied Remus.
"That's not much." James breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's not all, we have to also make lunch and dinner." Said Remus.
Peter cringed.
"We can't. We have classes to attend." Said James smartly.
"You are excused from your classes." Said a new voice. It was McGonagall. "For the whole week. You will receive the notes about the lessons. You are also excused from homework. However, if you decide to just sit here and do nothing, you will be facing a very large pile of homework."
"Professor, is this necessary?" asked James sweetly. "We have already learned our lesson when we served detention with Binns. Please tell us, do we really need this?"
McGonagall smirked. "No you actually don't. But never less, you're cooking."
"Professor, you look absolutely marvelous today, are you sure you're not a model?" asked Sirius sweetly.
McGonagall blushed. "Mr. Black, sweet talk will get you nowhere. And I'm glad someone noticed my new dress robes, I think that the color dark blue says.....here I am. Come and see me."
Remus snorted.
"Um.....of course Professor. You look so young. Now how about letting us off?" asked Sirius hopefully.
"Well..........no. You really do need to serve this detention." Said McGonagall, smiling. "Good day." She left.
"Damn, this sucks." Said Remus.
"Hey, I thought that you read that cooking book." Said James.
"I would've but it was all gibberish to me. Pour a quart of milk into the pan...what the fuck does that mean?" A/n: I decided that since I rated this fic PG-13, I might as well include some cusswords into it.
James shrugged.
"Um........does anyone actually know how to make toast? I only know how to eat it." Said Sirius.
"Um..."said Remus.
"Don't you have to put it into the oven?" asked James.
Remus shrugged.
"Okay, so how are we gonna do this? Unless we wanna poison everyone we'll have to try to stick by the recipes." Said Remus.
Sirius got a gleam in his eyes. "Maybe we don't have to stick by the recipes."
"Padfoot, you wanna poison your girlfriend?" asked James.
"NO, but......"
"We're toast." Said Remus.
"That's it! We have to make toast!" exclaimed Peter.
The rest stared at him.
"Duh, we know that, but HOW do you make it?" asked Sirius.
"Um.....I remember my grandma, when she made toast she put butter on them." Said Peter.
"Butter?"
Peter shrugged.
"Let's make pancakes!" said Sirius.
"Okay." Said Remus.
"Yeah.......but how the hell are we supposed to make them?" asked James.
"Um.........I think that you need flour..."
"What kind of flower?" asked Sirius. A/n: The play on words is on purpose.
"Um...I think baking flour."
"Um......there's a flower that's called that?" asked Sirius confusingly.
"Uh.......yeah." said Remus. "I think."
"Okay." Sirius stood up and headed for the door.
"Where are you going?" asked James.
"To get the flower."
"Oh....okay."
"What does it look like? The flower I mean?" asked Sirius.
"Um.....it's white." Said Remus.
"Okay." Said Sirius brightly and left.
"Okay, what else do we need?" Asked Peter.
"Sugar." Said Remus.
"Syrup." Said Peter.
"Food coloring." Added James.
"We need food coloring?" asked Remus confusingly.
"Yeah....for the golden brown color of pancakes."
"Oh yeah.....of course..."
They did some preparations .
Sirius came back with a sack. "Well......I got the flower."
"Great. Um...What are we supposed to do?"
