A/N Sooss, I HAVE NEW REVIEWS! Thank you Tamsididi (what about me?) and PsychoBunny, I'm glad you like the story! Thank you to my number 1 reviewer Emrisah, who has kept my initiative to write going! Now to put you out of your misery (and since no one actually reads authors notes) on to chapter six! 

Chapter six: A Disastrous Charms Lesson

"Aden! I see that Poppy fixed you up nice. Glad to have you back!" James said slapping Aden on the back.

"Welcome back to the world of mortals." Hannah said smirking. "I say this because your stupid friends have forever immortalized you by telling your tale over and over again until we want them to die horrible, painful deaths."

"It's good to be back." Aden replied smiling warmly at Hannah. "So have I missed much while I've been in the unforgivable whiteness that is the infirmary?"

Everyone exchanged glances. "No, not much." Remus and Sirius said in unison.

"If you don't want to tell me, fine. But may I say that if I fall horribly behind on things, I shall blame you all."

"Well, I guess we'll just have to live with that." Andromeda said. "Just trust me on this, be glad you didn't have to deal with those two all week." She pointed at Lily and James.

"Just the usual…stuff, that goes on around here." Jen chose her words carefully.

"Excuse me, you all can talk all day if you like, but I am not going to be late for charms." Lily said in a way that befits her beautiful record perfectly.

As they entered the Charms classroom many girls waved to Aden as he passed, Gryffindor and Ravenclaw alike. He smiled slightly and nodded his head to a few of them, and then went to the back of the classroom with James, Sirius, and Remus.

(A/N I hate Peter so for all intents and purposes his family moved and he transferred to Durmstrang)

The girls moved to the middle seats, three tables ahead of the Marauders.

That day in charms they were working on Truth Charms. Truth Charms aren't as good as Veritaserum, but do encourage honesty.

"Lily can I try the charm on you, to make sure I got it right?" Jen asked.

"Only if you don't ask anything embarrassing, and promise to let me test it on you." Lily said warily.

"I promise. Veritasim Tellithia." Jen pointed her wand at Lily, a silver haze came over her eyes and she wore a blank expression. "Let's see here…Lily Evans, who do you hate most in the world?"

"Luscious Malfoy." Lily said flatly.

"Not James?" Jen said to herself. "Do you think that James Potter is the hottest boy in Gryffindor?"

"No."

"Then who?"

"Sirius Black."

"What? Sirius is my man!" Andromeda exclaimed.

"Oh, just wait till Sirius hears about this! He'll have a field day!" Hannah said incredulously.

The spell was wearing off, Lily suddenly covered her mouth and gasped.

"JEN! I told you nothing embarrassing!"

"It wasn't, and anyway I wanted to know. How else would I have found out?" She said innocently. Meanwhile, the boys had been having some difficulties of their own.

"Okay, Aden does the spell on me, Remus does the spell on James and then visa-versa." Sirius said. Remus and Aden exchanged nervous glances.

"Remus, do you think it wise to let them try a new spell on us? I mean Sirius is accident prone, and James sucks at Charms." Aden said voicing both his and Remus' concerns.

"Well if they do it to each other we may have more problems then we'll want to deal with. Also, we wouldn't want to hurt their pride by showing them up royally." He said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Hurt our pride? How could you? Sirius and me could do it, no sweat. I think it's your pride that'll be mortally wounded." James challenged.

"I think that James just challenged us to a competition." Aden said to Remus.

"Yes, I do believe he did." Remus replied.

"How about we make this interesting." Sirius said mischievously. "If James and I cast a better charm on each other then you, both of you have to cough up 7 galleons."

"Are you a lunatic? Four or nothing!" Remus exclaimed.

"What? Oh come on! Fine, six." James countered.

"Hey we're not worried or anything, but I'm not made of money. Five galleons and that is final." Aden said trying to seal the deal.

"Five galleons it is. Prepare to lose boys" Sirius crowed.

(Do you really want the nitty, gritty details?)

"I think we need some judges, y'know, to make things fair." Remus said.

"Alright. Hey, Hannah! Bring your friends over here." James said a few decibels louder then moments before.

"What do you want?" Lily said flatly when the girls got over to the boys.

"No need to be rude Lily Flower. We simply want you judge who can cast a better Truth Charm." James said smoothly.

"I guess we have a few minutes, we had some fun trying it for ourselves." Jen said smiling at Lily who was giving her a death glare. The boys glanced at each other and wondered what ugly truths had been revealed.

"O-kay, I guess I'll cast the spell on Jamsie here, and then Remus will do it to Aden." Sirius said.

"Sounds good. Fire away when ready." Andromeda said.

"Veritasimae Tellithy." Sirius pointed his wand at James, and that's when things went down the septic pipes.

James' pupils expanded so much that the iris wasn't visible. His cheeks lost all color and then he fell to the ground.

"Oh, no. Professor Flitwick! We have to get Potter to the Hospital Wing!" Lily said to the tiny professor. He conjured up a stretcher and brought James to the infirmary.

"I think, that Aden and Remus won." Hannah remarked.

"One after another! Honestly can't those four stay out of trouble for one day?" Madame Pomphrey said clicking her tongue. "What hit him?"

"A truth Charm gone horribly wrong." Sirius said shamefully.

"That's the understatement of the century! You didn't get the incantation even close to what it should have been!" Lily was pacing back and forth through the hospital wing.

"Alright all of you OUT!" Madame Pomphrey commanded.

Lily, Sirius, Andromeda, and Remus stalked out of the room. They could hear Poppy fussing over James as they left.

"That woman never lets anyone stay longer then a few minutes!" Sirius complained.

"Oh, shut up. You're the one who put him there in the first place." Andromeda said.

"Are you trying to become Lily?" Remus said. "Usually she's the one who lands him with Poppy." Sirius glared at his friend, then brightened.

"Do you remember the time she cast a freezing charm on his, uh, most sensitive spot? That was an awesome prank!"

"Classic!" Remus agreed.

"And do you remember when I turned all of the Marauders' hair and faces pink?" Lily asked Andromeda.

"Now that was good."

"But then James turned Lily's hair green!" Said Remus. They had reached the Fat Lady's portrait.

"Password?" She asked.

"Slinky." Lily said smirking.

"I never did find out what a slinky was…" Sirius commented.

When they stepped into the Common Room they found Hannah curled up in a chair reading, and Aden playing chess with Nearly Headless Nick. Jen was doing homework.

"Check Mate!" Nick said his head tilting dangerously.

"What? But, how?" Aden spluttered, peering closely at the board.

"I see I've still got it!" Nick said smugly. A Seventh year yelped as he walked through Nick, who didn't seem to notice.

"What's the diagnosis?" Hannah inquired glancing up at Aden and raising an eyebrow.

"We don't know. Poppy kicked us out." Andromeda shrugged.

"Sirius sure did a number on him, it's a good thing we switched partners, huh Aden?" Remus said.

"Amen to that." Aden nodded.

"He'll be back to terrorizing the Slytherins by tomorrow. I think he's gonna live." Lily said sarcastically.

"Did anyone notice we didn't do the partner project in charms?" Jen asked.

"Not till you mentioned it." Hannah said.

"Must have slipped Flitwicks mind." Sirius said.

"Oh well. Tomorrow's Friday!" Aden exclaimed.

"And we all know what that means…it's almost the weekend!" Remus added.

"I have some stuff I need to do." Hannah said gathering her things and swiftly left the common room.

"Where does she keep getting off to?" Andromeda asked.

"Who knows?" Jen replied.

A/N So what did you guys think? It wasn't my best chapter, but I think it could have been worse. I have question for all of my wonderful reviewers. Who is your favorite character? In the last chapter McGonagall gave them Veritaserum coated quills, sorry about that typo.

Please Review! Y'all know where that little button is…
