Chapter 3

Girls in love

"Nice prank there. I always wondered why those speeches were short." Harry told remus.

"Yep. That was the reason. I actually masterminded that one. I might have been Head Boy but I needed to get a few laughs too." Remus explained.

"Really, that was you? Anyways so tell me who is this Mandy girl?"

"Ah… Um… You will see. Why don't we use her story next."

Mandy

Mandy thought that the trick this year topped all, even the time they somehow managed to fill the entire slytherin common room in pudding. She turned to Remus after the prank.

"Hmm… better then I thought, Remus. I can see why you wanted it a surprise. You know that getting detention isn't great behavior from the Head Boy."

"Well I guess I will have to sneak my way out of it, McGonagall takes a liking to me it shouldn't be that hard. Even though this one was MY idea. I just didn't think those two would go through with it."

"They will try anything! You should have known that!" Mandy exclaimed. Remus blushed.

"Yeah I guess your right." Remus said and turned back to his food. Sirius and James had already inhaled firsts and seconds and both were working on their third plates. Remus finished his one and was done. Mandy thought that how Remus ate respectable amounts proved that he wasn't like his friends. She went back to her friends.

"So Kelly, Suzy what did you guys do this summer?" Mandy asked. Kelly was the wild one of the group and Suzy was quite the opposite.

"Well I stayed at Kelly's house for awhile. Then I went on vacation with the family. We went to the states this year, man those people are weird!" Suzy told the group.

"I heard they have this type of dance called a disco that's supposedly really fun. Or DYNOMITE! As the Americans supposedly say." Lily said.

"Yeah they do. They wear weird material called polyester and dance to this music and they say things like dynamite and groove turkeys a lot! It's really weird but they know how to have some fun!" Suzy told them.

"At least it was fun! Well I spent my summer trying to be a muggle with Lily. Its really hard work! But they have some really cool things like movies!" Mandy said and explained the concept of a movie to the other two.

"Kelly! KELLY! Eyes off Black! Earth to Kelly!" Lily asked getting fusterated, all she needed was her best friend fall in love with Sirius Black. He will just can her after he shags her like everyone else.

"Huh? What?" Kelly said groggily.

"Are you falling for Sirius Black?" Mandy asked.

"A… yeah I guess I am. I have a feeling he likes me, he doesn't treat me like the other girls." Kelly explained.

"Well maybe your right, but he is still friends with that terrible Potter. He may have matured but that act tonight surely didn't show it." Lily said back.

"That wasn't Potter's idea. That was Remus's, you know like the Head boy? Yeah he planned that one." Mandy told her.

"Remus, surely wouldn't pull something like that his first day as Head Boy."

"Who says I wouldn't?" Remus asked now standing behind Lily. Lily jumped from her seat.

"WOAH! Remus I didn't see you there. I'm sorry. Wow, I don't believe the Head boy pulled the first prank of the year." Lily told him.

"It's ok. I just suggested the idea and Sirius found the spells and we all performed it. You have to admit it was impressive."

"Yes it was quite good magic." Lily agreed.

"James will be happy to hear that. You know he does those pranks to impress you." Remus whispered to her.

"No way! Really? That's pretty stupid considering I hate them and find them foolish."

"You really just need to give him a shot."

"I will when he proves he deserves a shot."

"That's all I can ask for. Now I have a meeting with McGonagall."

"Good luck getting out of detention Remus!" Mandy called after him. Remus just winked at her. She blushed like mad.

"Mandy, blushing! Over remus! How wonderful is that?" Kelly asked.

"Your gonna keep this quiet or I will tell the entire school about your new found love of Sirius Black." Mandy whispered.

"I am, am I? hmpf. Maybe I won't. I am going to go ask Sirius for the spell that changes the ceiling in here."

"YOU WOULDN'T DARE!" Mandy yelled. The whole hall erupted in whispers. Mandy just stormed off to the common room. The marauders were already back, sitting on the sofas.

"Hey Mandy, what happened." James said he looked worried.

"My friend came back to school, fell for some guy and is now threatening my love life that's all!" Mandy stormed onto a couch.

"That's pretty bad. Do you have a boyfriend shes seeking revenge on or something?" Remus asked hoping she didn't.

"No, I'm not dating anyone. She's threatening my FUTURE love life. Why are you in here anyways? Shouldn't you be in the head's dorm with Lily?" Mandy asked.

"YOU SHARE A ROOM WITH MMMYY LILY?" James yelled.

"Shit. I'm sorry Remus! I think I am going to head upstairs."

"You can't leave me here to defend myself alone!" Remus exclaimed as a mad James came walking up to him. "James, I don't share a ROOM with her just a common room."

"But its just you and her in there right?" James asked.

"Yes its just me and her in there." Remus answered.

"If you DARE put moves on Lily I will kill you with my bare hands, got it?"

"You know that I don't like Lily that way. I like someone else!" Remus explained.

"And who would that be? O wise one?"

"Mandy." Remus said in a low whisper. Mandy didn't leave the room. She stayed.

"I have seen them together James, Lily and Remus are just friends. I am sorry I brought it up." Mandy said trying to calm James down.

"Ok if your just friends… Moony, could you tell me if she brings any guys into your common room?"

"So you can jump them like you did Amos Diggory?" Remus asked.

"Well no, I am not gonna hurt them like I did before. I just want to know." James explained.

"Ok Prongs." Remus answered and turned to the rest of the group. "I am heading to my common room. Good night all." With that Remus headed out the portrait hole.

"Hey James, Who did Remus say he was interested in? I was just wondering." Mandy said trying to sound as calm as possible.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Sirius said.

"Urgh Sirius, You have caused more trouble for me this year then ever before." Mandy said and headed up to her room.

"What did I do?" He asked but he received no answer.
