"Better in the morning my arse," Remus muttered as he got out of bed. "My head is spinning like a bloody top!" Bleary eyed, he stumbled over to the window and threw it open. A bright Scottish morning greeted him. He got his clothes together and walked into the shower, wise enough not to wait until all the hot water was gone. He emerged ten minutes later, fully dressed and ready. He walked over to Frank's bed, from where mumblings of "Alice, Alice," were coming.

"Frank, mate, it's time to get up." Frank mumbled something else and got up, his eyes still half closed. Remus handed him a pair of earmuffs. Together, they went over and roused Peter. He looked in his dresser drawers for a pair of earmuffs but, finding none, grabbed a pillow. The trio then walked over to Remus's bed again and sat on it. Frank and Peter signaled to Remus, and he put on his own earplugs. The three took out their wands and cast a silencing charm around the bed. Remus waved his wand and muttered a few words neither of the other boys understood. Both Sirius' and James' beds began to shake violently.

Of course, the boys couldn't hear exactly what was making the noise, but it was the only thing that could get James and Sirius up in the mornings, so they reckoned it had to be pretty loud. Actually, they were quite wrong in thinking that only the mysterious sound would be enough in awaking James and Sirius. No, just a whisper of 'Wow, look at all that food,' or 'Wow, look at all those naked girls,' would be adequate to get Sirius up and out of his bed. For James, however, only the best would suffice. 'Wow, there's Lily.' Of course, that worked at any time of day.

In any case, the two boys in question were already up and running for the showers. "Finite Incantatem," Remus muttered, as Frank rubbed his eyes. Peter yawned and Frank climbed out of the bed, making his way to the showers, stopping off at his bed to put back the earmuffs. Remus removed his earplugs and Peter flung his pillow back onto his bed, leaving it a mess and followed Frank to the showers. Remus looked at Peter's bed in disapproval but refrained from saying anything. Hearing a scream pierce the air quickly followed by a dull thud, Remus hastened to the showers.

"Bloody hell!" cried Frank. There was a momentary pause and then the four boys that remained standing broke into raucous laughter. Sirius was on the floor, eyes screwed tightly shut.

"Sirius fainted!" Peter announced, and the boys began laughing again. Sirius opened one eye and sort of glared at Peter.

"Oy! I didn't faint. I fell out! And with good reason too!" Remus smirked.

"And what would that reason be?"

"Ask Potter," mumbled Sirius.

"Well Prongs?" asked Remus with mock curiosity.

James ran a hand through his hair, grinning widely. "I told him he had a split end."

The boys began to laugh uproariously again.

"Get a life Padfoot," muttered Peter as he stepped over Sirius' pathetic form.

Frank held out a hand to help Sirius up as Remus said to James, "You don't want to be late today Prongs. It's the first day of term and Lily-"

James ran into the nearest shower stall and a couple of minutes later, a rush of water sounded, joining the noise that Peter was making. Frank headed to another stall and, Sirius, realizing that Remus was already ready, dashed into another stall, yelling, "Oy! Don't hog all the hot water!"

"Too late!" replied Frank as Peter stepped out and into the dorm.

"Moony!"

Remus grabbed his schoolbag and ran out of the dorm, laughing to himself as the three boys in the showers shouted after him.

In the girl's dorm, things weren't too different. The earliest up was Jessica, a shy girl who mostly kept to herself. She took a shower and got dressed, then woke up Alice before heading down to the common room.

In turn, Alice awoke Lily, Lily roused Arabella, and Arabella jumped onto the bed of the fifth girl of their dorm. Connie Slates was probably the most energized thing at Hogwarts. She had a bubbly personality, but her one true fault was her mouth. On more than one occasion she'd gotten into trouble with either Filch or McGonagall because she couldn't quite keep her opinions to herself.

Sometimes Arabella wondered why they even bothered waking her up in the mornings.

"Up you get Connie!" Arabella sang as Lily and Alice went about their morning rituals. Connie sat straight up and pushed Arabella off of the bed. Arabella ran to collect her things and followed Lily and Alice into the bathrooms.

In the bathroom, however, things weren't going too smoothly.

"Who opened my eyeliner?"

"Where is my towel?"

"Mugnph!"

"Why are you using my shampoo?"

"Give me back my perfume!"

"Urgmuffin!"

"Ow! Pull your own damn hair!"

"What the hell!"

"I'm outta here!" (Incoherent mumbling continues as Lily knocks into Connie.)

"What went swimming in your gene pool?" Connie asked the twins as she walked in on them fighting for the mirror.

Opting not to answer, they continued to shove each other while shouting obscenities.

Lily ran back into the bathrooms, school bag on shoulder and tie still undone. "Hey! You might want to hurry up if you plan on seeing what happened to the boys!" With that she ran out of the dorm, leaving Alice and Arabella positively wrestling to gain access to the mirror.

Lily and Remus met at the bottom of the staircase, both flushed with laughter at the state they'd left their room mates in. As expected, the sight of Remus only made Lily laugh harder. It was then that Remus remembered that James would want to know what Lily said the night before.

A/N: Okay! I will make sure that you find out what happened to the boys in the next chapter. You were supposed to find out in this chapter, but it didn't fit so I had to come up with this chapter off the top of my head. I got my glasses, so I'll update more quickly.

I don't know if you guys would be interested or not, but my friends and I are trying to get more people into Japanese culture, (Why? Because it's bloody COOL!) I have two songs that I could e-mail to anybody that's interested. Please take me up on this offer. The songs are 'Ai No Uta' by Every Little Thing and 'Shinjitsu No Uta' by Do As Infinity. Email me by the end of the month to let me know if you're interested.

Review Reply: Fairy-GYAKUTENNO-MEGAMI I know I love Yoda too.

Guys, Please R&R. No, it does not mean Read & Run! Thank You!
