REMINDER FROM CHAPTER 15

Peter groaned at him as the bedroom door opened ajar. The other boys had their back to the door and so didn't notice the head poke around the door.

Peter met the brown eyes of the girl. They were wide and horrified as if they had just seen some unknown terror. Her face was white and it looked like Peeves had thrown flour on her face. She opened the door a bit wider and he noticed the rip in her shirt but tried to make it look like he hadn't.

A creak drew the attention of the other's to her and she waved trying to show that she was okay. She drew the attention of Sirius right off of Peter though.

"Amanda what happened?"

"Oh nothing fell over banged my head caught my shirt on a door or something."

Year 3: Chapter 29

James looked up as Flitwick stopped in front of him.

"You're free to go Mr. Potter, and next time think before you use that wand of yours. If I catch you cursing another Slytherin in the halls it'll be more than just detention."

James nodded and stood up as he left the room he heard the small man mutter.

"Between Potter, Black and Dixon I'm going to lose my hair."

He chuckled as he walked down the corridor. So Flitwick was sick of their little 'events'; it seemed that it was time to be sneaker about it. Although thinking about it, he had taken it easy this year compared to Sirius.

Sirius had already stolen all of his brother's underwear and put it on display in the Great Hall. He had dyed all the Slytherin robes bright pink and had been seen fighting in the halls with Amanda's younger brother.

Although he had served more detention than was needed, what with him lying about the things Amanda had done. She had been ruthless and as soon as she had gotten over whatever it was at the start of the year she had found her swing.

She had set Lestrange on fire four times since Halloween, cut Malfoy's hair and in a rather entertaining potions class had levitated shampoo across the room dropping its contents onto Snape's head, while at the same time dropping dung bombs on Professor Malfoy's.

Yet the only one she had taken the credit for was Malfoy's hair; Sirius seemed to be jumping in taking the credit, although everybody knew it was Amanda really, but hey he was trying to set a new detention record for the school so he needed all the detentions he could get.

James was disappointed with Ginny though. Her first year she had been as ruthless as Amanda and then at the beginning of second year but since she had gotten a boyfriend she had stopped with the pranks. Although the revenge on cheating boyfriends was good.

At the start of the year Sirius had said that Amanda had had a boyfriend last year. Of course that had been a shock for them she had kept it a good secret and Sirius had not mentioned names. However he did tell them about the revenge the girls had taken.

Ginny had found a spell that would make somebody's nose grow if they lied and that was a scary thought; imagine if they were pulling a prank and had that on them they wouldn't be able to lie about who had done it.

Branwen though, she was a tough one and he pitied Peter. Pete better never hurt her, after all she had put a charm on the boy to have bad breath for six months... now that was scary. Then when Michael had cheated on Ginny, Amanda had taught her the curse to make his breath taste like the thing a girl hated the most.

It was a pity they were only using their talents on cheating boyfriends otherwise the Slytherins wouldn't know what had hit them. What had surprised him the most though was the way Remus had transformed into a prankster king.

The last three pranks they had pulled, as a group had been his idea. He had been the one to give them the idea of putting dead mice into the pockets of the Slytherins so that when the owls arrived with the morning post they dive-bombed them.

Then he had been the one to suggest that they put a charm on Snape and Malfoy so that they spent an entire day not able to say anything only sing it. Peter had even suggested the next prank, which they were planning for after Christmas.

As he rounded a corner he heard voices and he knew that an argument was taking place. Edging closer to have a look he saw Malfoy standing with his back towards him. Pinned to the wall was Lestrange with a nervous look plastered on his face.

"You're telling me that you got a girl to let her near you."

"Well I didn't say she let me, but I did get her."

"Okay, who is it?"

"Amanda."

"I knew it, you idiot. You've been hinting towards it for weeks and you idiot. You know the rule, you fuck with Mudbloods, but marry the pure ones; you don't get anymore pure than her. You fool!"

James leaned further around the corner and saw Lestrange on the floor with his hand over his face. Malfoy looked thunderous at him, his eyes sparkled with more hatred than he'd seen before.

"If you ever tell anybody about that I will personally kill you. She is after all a Dixon and so is my mother, she's family and the fact that this has happened will bring disgrace on my family and that includes me, Lestrange."

Malfoy stormed off down the corridor and when he had turned into the next one James came running at the boy on the floor. He was looking in the direction that Malfoy had taken and without waiting kicked him hard in the back.

He spun slightly and James aimed another at his stomach. As the boy looked up he raised his arm and punched him in the face. It was with pleasure he heard his nose break. A scream sounded from behind and he turned slightly to see Professor Malfoy standing there.

Her hand grabbed the back of his shirt and she barked an order for Lestrange to get to the hospital wing and he was pulled away.

Okay so I know its been a while since I last posted been really really busy lately, but on the bright side I passed all five of my January exams, now I only have to pass four in May and I go onto my second year in Uni.

Oh I also wanted to say a BIG YES! I don't know if anybody here watches Rugby (I can't stand it myself) but Wales won the Sixth Nations (sorry if you're not welsh!) and we won every game so its been a bit umm how to put it, well loud around here lately people are now getting over their hangovers. This is another reason for lack of post.

Anyway now to answer the reviews of people.

SmartGurl9552 it's good to see you've made it to this year now, thanks for the reviews. As for Molly Weasley I know that she was Prewett but I started writing this story two years ago now, right after OOTP came out and at that point I didn't know that Molly was Prewett and now that I've established the story I don't want to go back and change it, I hope you understand that, I've actually decided to make the Prewett's her cousins instead to keep the tie.

Jessie okay so lots of replies for you now. You went to Butlins did you enjoy I went to the one in Minehead but that was about seven years ago now if not longer. That was you're first motorway experience I remember that I hated driving on the motorway at first. I did that plus driving for motorway experience and even after that I couldn't drive on the motorway I was going the long way to Uni, but now I love it, I think once you've done it once it's easier its just getting onto the motorway that I hate.

Yes Mrs L had to be there I couldn't leave her out, and I think Peter was human I mean nobody is born evil circumstances dictate what we become when we get older and I think Peter found himself in a situation that he wasn't prepared for and things turned for him. I have a plan to get him there actually and I've already set the motions running but I think it happened to him outside of Hogwarts so it will be a while till we see evil Peter.

As for the other family members I think that so much is going on and to fully understand everything you have to look at both sides. Take Sirius for example his family was evil and so that reflects in him and they wouldn't really let him go without a fight because he knows things, and that's why I include them in it. I know that I've got most of the ages wrong, Lucius, Narcissa, Bellatrix the oldest Lestrange, and Andromeda and Ted but I need them there so I've adjusted it to fit.

Taylin I know the conversations are confusing but sometimes I don't think it really matters who says it only that it's been said. I should go back and fix it but not know.

Annie yeah Malfoy should be six years older but like I said I've needed him around especially for the story line of last year and this year, and he's got an important part in year 4 to play that he couldn't from outside of Hogwarts. If I ever write another L/J I'll get all these little facts right.

Lily Nicole Potter don't worry about lack of reviews we all go through times when we're too busy for such things. Yeah Frank's mum is there for comfort and for a place that's safe for them to go in later years when the war has really started. As for the Slytherins they're important to the story so that's why they're there. Thanks for the review.

Firewalker32 yes that plot to make them bad, I shall have some fun with that I shall ensure it. Umm Andromeda was suppose to have this huge part in the story and now she's sorta faded away she might play an important part later but for the moment she's there for support more than anything. The Slytherins I think are unique and that they have a system of power especially with the likes of these people there so that's why its like that and if you notice they're all related and have links with one and other showing the importance of family ties.

As for spring break that's what you called it right, well its Easter holidays over here, I finished Uni on Friday and I don't go back till the 18th April a whole month off, and that means it's a year and a week until I go to Egypt (already counting down)

Well that's all I've gotta say, I hope you read the bit in Italics at the top to give you a reminder of where this came from. It's one of these plots that somebody mentioned but took it in the wrong direction, I hope you'll understand what's happening, and don't think its too far stretched.

Oh and please review once you've read
