Chapter 10

Our Job

It was Saturday. Glorious, beautiful, class free Saturday. Sirius seemed to enjoy the class free part more than everybody else. He took his time sleeping in, and growled anybody who came with in five feet of trying to wake him. After Sirius had woken up after 10 people tried to wake him, the seven of them made their way down for breakfast, where the Great Hall's ceilings were a crystal blue sky.

"Perfect for quidditch," Harry and James said together. Everyone looked at them with shock and laughter. Both started to smile nervously. They all started to laugh.

"Is that all you can think about, James, is quidditch?" Lily asked a little irritated after the shock of it calmed down.

"At the moment," James said with a big smile. Sirius became confused.

"Wait, did you just say James?" Sirius asked. Lily glared at him.

"So what if I did? That is no concern of yours," she snapped. Sirius snickered.

"So, she finally fell to the Potter charm?" Sirius asked James with a sly smile.

"Yeah, she couldn't resist me forever," James said with a grin.

"James Potter, you are insufferable. I would rather choke myself than go out with you," Lily said, and stormed out of the Great Hall, forgetting about the new names.

"Nice going, Prongs. I don't think she will go to Hogsmeade with you now," he Sirius said.

"She will eventually go out with me. Look at Harry," James said. Harry could feel 5 pair of eyes make his way to him. He dropped his face to look at his eggs. Hermione and Ron noticed Harry's uneasiness and decided to change the subject.

"So, erm, Jake, are you going to try out for Quidditch?" Ron asked. James shrugged.

"I guess so. I made the team back home, so I might have a chance of making it here. Who's the captain? I will try and get on their good side," James said.

"I'm the captain," Harry said quietly. James eyes widened. (A/N: I probably already mentioned this, but oh well)

"Really? That's great! You told me you played seeker, but I didn't know you were captain too," James said in amazement. Harry blushed a light red and looked down.

"Prongs, we have a problem," Sirius said in a serious tone.

"What is it Padfoot?" he asked, taking a swig from his pumpkin juice.

"We have been here for a few days already, and we have not pulled a single prank. Not even a Dungbomb, or a firecracker," Sirius said. James' eyes widened and smacked his head.

"You are completely right. I guess just coming here and meeting…everyone, kind of pulled my mind away from the important stuff," James said. "Anything you have in mind?"

"Guys, we should not pull anything here. If you remember, we aren't exactly from here, and if we do anything that we are not supposed to-" Remus said warningly.

"It will change the future," James said, rolling his eyes. "Or in this case, the present."

"Stuff like that has never stopped us before. Even with out Wormtail here, I think we can do something great," Sirius said with a mischievous grin. Harry, Ron, and Hermione all tensed up. "I have a plan, but we are going to need a few things."

"Great. You coming Moony?" James asked, getting up from the table. Remus sighed.

"I guess. I have to make sure you guys won't break too many rules this time," he said, following Sirius and James through the doors of the Great Hall. The trio immediately emerged in conversation.

"Do you think we should stop them?" Hermione asked. The guys shook their heads.

"Nah, let them have their fun," Ron said.

"Besides, I think we have more important things to worry about," Harry said.

"What's that?" Hermione asked.

"We need to try and hook up my parents," Harry said, looking at his plate. Hermione dropped her fork.

"Harry, are you crazy!? That would be messing with the past! It could change everything!" Hermione said hysterically.

"Calm down, Hermione. I think Harry has a point," Ron said. She looked at both of them.

"Both of you are mental," she said, looking at them in disbelief. "This isn't something silly we are talking about, this is Harry's parents, his existence is at stake here."

"It could only help his existence Hermione," Ron said.

"What if they got into a huge fight and never make up again?" Hermione asked.

"Won't happen. They love each other. Look at Harry-" Ron started, before Harry lost his temper.

"Will everyone please stop using me as a reference!" Harry said loud and angry. A few people turned to see what was wrong, but went back to their food.

"Sorry Harry, it is just…" Ron said. Harry nodded.

"Yeah, I know," he said, playing with his fork and food. "But what if they were meant to come here, and the only way they got together was by the meddling of us?" Harry asked. The other two were silent in their thoughts for a minute.

"If, and only if, that was true, it would be something we would have to do," Hermione said. "But I don't think so. I mean, that would be the weirdest thing ever, to have your son be your match maker."

"Hermione, since when have our lives been normal?" Ron asked. Harry gave a small laugh.

"He's got a point, Hermione," Harry said grinning. Hermione just sighed.

"Well, before you guys go and play quidditch today, which I know you will, there is a prefect meeting in a thirty minutes," Hermione said. Harry and Ron groaned.

(A/N- I will say this right now. I have no idea how the prefect system works. I guess they are prefects in sixth year too, but I wasn't sure about seventh, so I guess you can be a prefect in seventh for this ff)

"Hermione, do I have to go?" Ron asked. Hermione shot him a death glare.

"Yes, Ron, all prefects must attend," Hermione said. "It won't last that long, anyway. You can still play quidditch."

"Fine," Ron grumbled. They finished their breakfast, and headed off into the Head Boy and Girls meeting room. Harry, Hermione, and Ron were the first to arrive, and with in five minutes after they did, all the prefects joined them, right on time.

"Good morning everyone," Hermione said. "Today, I think we should start to talk about what the plans should be for the rest of the year," she said, pulling out some parchment and a quill. "Any suggestions?" she asked, looking at them. The room was silent for a few minutes, until the Hufflepuff Prefect, Cordelia Willows spoke up.

"Umm, maybe we should have a ball, like the Yule Ball, but instead all years can attend," she suggested. A few others murmured in agreement. Hermione nodded and wrote it down on the parchment.

"Yeah, it could have a theme or something," one of the Ravenclaw Prefects said.

"How about a muggle theme?" Collin Creevey, the Gryffindor Prefect said. A few of the Slytherins gagged.

"There is no way in hell I will go to the ball dressed as a muggle. We are wizards for a reason," Malfoy said. The rest of the Slytherins murmured in agreement.

"Well, no one cares what you think anyway, Malfoy," Ron snapped.

"Ok, the ball idea is popular," Hermione said, cutting Malfoy off who was about to retort. "The muggle theme could be a good idea, since Hogwarts has never had one before," Hermione commented.

"I will not go to a ball where we have to dress up like muggles," Malfoy said.

"Well, I guess the ball will be a better place then," Harry said.

"Well, how about a Halloween ball, where we dress in costumes," the other Ravenclaw Prefect said. This idea seemed more popular.

"Ok, all in favor of the Halloween ball, please raise your hand," Hermione said. Everybody raised their hands, except the Malfoy and Pansy. "Alright, majority rules. We will talk to Dumbledore about having a ball. The next thing we need to talk about is patrol duties."

"Hermione, they are fine. They have been working for the past two weeks, and there is no reason why they need to change," Harry said. Hermione sighed.

"Fine. I guess the meeting is over. Dismissed," Hermione ordered. Everybody assembled out of the Head's office, and with a sneer from Malfoy, everybody was out except for the Trio.

"Well, that was fun," Ron said sarcastically. Hermione glared.

"We got some matters settled, which was a good thing. Now, if you excuse me, I have to find Lily," Hermione said, using the real name now that no one was around. "You two should find the guys. They are pulling something, and I don't want anyone getting hurt because of it," she said, and swiftly left the room. Harry and Ron looked at each other.

"Well, I guess we should start looking," Harry said.

"Great, this castle is huge. They could be anywhere," Ron said. As if on cue, a loud crash was heard outside. Harry and Ron now knew exactly where they were.
