Okay, sorry I took so long. This one's a big longer, hope it's good enough.

Around five o'clock the next morning a small bird glided into the Gryffindor girl's dormitory. It landed on top of a pillow in the empty bed, and changed into a blonde girl. One of the other's snored loudly across the room, causing the girl to dive under the covers, and fixing the pillows, let sleep finally claim her.

"Lise! Time to get up!" Lily sang two hours later. All she got was a muffled reply. She grabbed the blanket and pulled it off her new friend, exposing her to the cold air, or what little there was this time of year. Lise curled up in a little ball but made no move to get up. That is, until Lily grabbed her by the ankle and pulled her out of the bed.

"Miss Evans! What are you doing?!"

Lily giggled. "It's Lily. Call me that. And it's time to get up, sleepyhead!"

Lise's only response was to curl up tighter. "Can I not just sleep in today?"

"Nope, you can't sleep in today. It's only our second day! We can't have you missing that!" She yanked Lise again until she fell off the bed and was forced to get up, then waited slightly impatiently until they were ready to go down to the Great Hall.

Sirius, James, Remus and Peter were already lined up alone the table. Remus was reading, Peter was staring at his hands, and James and Sirius were sneaking glances at various girls across the room and whispering things to each other. Lily and Lise took a seat across from the group, and waited for the food to appear. Seconds later it magically did, and the group dug in. Lily glanced over at Lise, paused, and asked, "Do you always eat like that?"

She was referring to when Lise bit into things, she seemed to bite first with her top jaw, and put the food she was biting into close to her mouth, like she was hiding something on it.

Lise ignored her and continued eating, until Lily gave up and went back to her toast.

The first class that day was History of Magic, taught by the infamous Ghost of Professor Binns. They all had this class together, and five minutes into the lesson the students were already bored, and Lise had her forehead in her hands and was staring at the desk, not even bothering to try and take notes. Sirius leaned over and whispered.

"What's up? You look like you got a major hangover or something. Was there some wild partly last night no one told me about?"

She fixed him with a glare and he backed back into his seat muttering "Touchy, touchy..."

"And then there was the war of 1005 A.D...." Professor Binns droned on, oblivious to the fact that no one was paying him any attention.

Half an hour later most of the class, with the exception of a few of the more studious students, was asleep. Sirius sleeping with his book propped up so the teacher couldn't see, and had a small trail of drool coming from the corner of his mouth, Peter was fighting off sleep, and James had his head down on the desk, his arms underneath him, and Lise had fallen silently onto the desk over twenty minutes ago. Remus and Lily were still awake and trying to take notes, but were having a hard time. By the end of the class everyone but Lily had falled asleep. Luckily, they all woke up at the bell. Except Lise, but she was making up for lost sleep. She was muttering something under her breath in some unknown language, and the ends of her braids were floating slightly. Lily shoved her off the desk before she could do anything that would call the professor's attention.

Lise fell out of her chair and sat, looking around her as if trying to figure out where she was. Once she figured it out, She scrambled up from the floor, dusted herself off, picked up her books, and left the room as if nothing was wrong, leaving Lily shaking with silent laughter.

Their next class was Defense Against the Dark Arts, taught be Professor Mesula, a tall thin woman in her mid-fourties.

"Welcome, class! For our first listen, we will be studying something ahead of schedule! As there seem to be a record amount of boggarts around Hogwarts these days, I will be teaching you how to defend yourself from them. Now, can anyone tell me what a boggart is?"

No one raised their hand, although Lily looked like she was thinking hard.

"Come now! Anyone?"

At last Lily's hand shot up in the air. "A boggart is a shape shifter, which changes into whatever it thinks the person will fear most," she quoted.

"Very good, Miss Evans. Five points to Gryffindor. Now the incantation to say is quite simple. Repeat after me. Riddikulus."

"Riddukulus."

Very good, now, one more thing before we get to practicing. The incantation is really not what will finish a boggart off. What really will is laughter. When the boggart comes out you must have something in mind that would turn it into something funny, instead of frightening. Say Riddikulus, and concentrate hard on what would make it funny. You'll be able to figure out the rest. Make sure you move back after you are done, to allow the rest of the students a turn. Any volunteers to go first?"

No hands were raised.

"What ever happened to brave Gryffindors? When I had the Slytherins yesterday nearly all of them volunteered to go first!"

All but one hand shot up. Peter's stayed down.

"Good...how about...Mr. Black, you give it a go."

Sirius stepped up as the let out the boggart, who had changed into an older looking screeching woman.

"YOU! YOU IDIOT! HOW COULD YOU BETRAY ME! A GRYFFINDOR??!!! WHY I --"

"Riddikulus!"

Immediately a piece of duct tape fixed itself neatly onto her mouth and her screaming was muffled.

"Mr. Potter!"

James stood waiting, somewhat nervously, and the form of the muffled woman changed itself into a teacher, who started yelling at him that he was going to be expelled if he pulled ONE MORE prank and --"

"Ruddikulus!"

The teacher was run over by a stampede of students.

"Mr. Lupin!"

It was Remus's turn. His boggart changed into a shining white orb. He cringed visibly but cried

"R-Riddikulus!"

The moon disappeared.

Ten more students took their turn and finally...

"Miss Denate!"

Lise stood in front of the boggart, shaking, and it changed into something quite unexpected. A girl, who looked quite a bit like Lise, but with dark red hair, black eyes, and no glasses. She opened her mouth wide to reveal a pair of long fangs, dripping with blood, then prepared to pounce. Then --
