Lily let out a sigh so soft that it was barely audible. However, two people noticed it.

"What's wrong Lils?"

"Yeah, I mean the food's not bad, the teachers seem pretty cool, the dragon went down well, and we even got a round of applause! What more do you want? You should be smiling, not sighing."

Lily grinned at her two best friends, Alexandria and Jennifer. "I know, it's just that…all the guys were staring again which probably means more annoying 'love' letters in the morning." She grimaced but then smiled. "Hey, remember that last school we went to for that other exchange student program?"

"It seems like the school signs us up for any exchange student programs huh? I can really tell they love us, leaping at any chance to get rid of us," Alexandria giggled. "Hmm, I wonder what we did that made them so fond of us," she asked, tapping her chin in mock thoughtfulness.

Jennifer laughed, "I don't know Alex, could it be because of that time when we set the kitchen on fire while looking for a midnight snack?"

"Or maybe it's because of the time when Jen turned the transfiguration teacher into a purple ferret with frog legs and antennas!" Lily started to laugh aloud at the memory and Jennifer defended herself indignantly. "That was back in fourth year! Besides, that pitiful excuse for a teacher gave me a 76 on that test when I obviously deserved a hundred or higher! I mean, come on, I had better transfiguration skills then him!"

"Uh-huh, okay Jen, we know, you are very gifted in transfiguration and that teacher was simply too incompetent to see it. We've been through this before. Honestly Jen…" Alexandria shook her head but then looked up and faced Lily.

"So before we got into this discussion, you were saying something about that last school we went into…?" "Oh yeah! Well, what I was saying was, remember after all the guys saw us?"

"Of course, we were bombarded by owls the next day!"

"And all of them were carrying love letters-"

"But there were Howlers too, from girls who said we 'stole' their man-"

"Of course, how could I have forgotten those wonderful Howlers…" Lily sighed again but this time it was made in reminisces.

"Those were annoying times."

"But they were fun annoying times," corrected Jennifer offhandedly. "True…" Alexandria sighed alongside Lily. "Curse you Lily, making me dread the morning now." Lily giggled. "Knowing you, you probably would curse me, seeing as you're good with hexes."

Wagging her finger in front of Lily's face, Alexandria remarked in a shocked tone, "Now, now Lils, you make that sound as if it's a bad thing!" Laughing, the three girls resumed talking and eating, unaware of the gazes of two particular boys.

"Prongs….. Prongs….Prongs…..PRONGS!"

"Huh?" James jumped in his seat, startled. He quickly found the source of the disturbance and in doing so scowled at Remus for he was the culprit that had just interrupted him from his staring session.

"What?"

Sirius pouted. "It's time for our prank you poo-poo head!" He snorted and muttered, "And I here I was thinking you were the unofficial leader…" James raised an eyebrow. "Poo-poo head? Where did that come from?" Sirius grinned sheepishly. "Some little muggle kid was calling his sister that and I thought I'd try it out on you!"

Casually grabbing a roll, a certain werewolf lightly threw it at Sirius's head.

"Hey! What was that for?

Remus just looked at Sirius and said, "First of all, don't reprimand James, you were doing the same thing. Second of all, don't say 'poo-poo head'. It makes you seem stupider and even more idiotic as hard as it is to believe that's even possible. Now that that's out of the way, James, would you like to do the honors now that you've stopped staring at girls?"

"I was not staring but sure Moony!" Without looking as to not draw attention to him, James slid out his wand and discreetly pointed it at the Slytherins table and whispered, "Reptelian Colorus!"

Immediately, with a loud poof! a smoky white fog covered the Slytherin's table. After it had lifted, the entire Hall erupted into laughter (minus the teachers but Dumbledore's eyes did twinkle rather brighter then usual…). The Slytherins had all been transformed into unusually colored snakes. The Marauders smirked at two particular snakes however, Snape and Malfloy. They were both medium sized snakes and looked pretty normal if it weren't for the small fact that Snape was a bright fluorescent pink with flashing neon green dots and the words I am a greasy git were written on him and Malfloy was rainbow colored and had the words I am a wannabe evil git on him. The Marauders laughed heartily and after Remus expertly flicked his wand, the words, 'The Marauders complement the Slytherins's on their new look'! appeared over the snakes.

"Merlin, did you see that Lils! That's like, so funny!" Alexandria was laughing her head off along with Lily and Jennifer. "I know we shouldn't be laughing because it isn't very nice but," Jennifer smirked, "how can we help it if it's so funny? Plus we can't really talk since we do the same thing."

Lily nodded in agreement. Suddenly Alexandria spoke up while looking up at the ceiling.

"What do you think I should get, cobalt blue or cerulean?" Jennifer raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Well that was out of the blue, no pun intended. Was that even a pun? I mean you were talking about blues so….but anyways, do you mean for a blouse, robes, nail polish, or something else?"

"Blouse probably. Or maybe the color of the ceiling or should I say sky illusion, it's a really deep blue that would bring out my eyes…" Alexandria continued gazing up at the ceiling as she contemplated on which color to get.

"When do you think we can go to Hogsmeade?" She asked.

Lily frowned in thought. "Don't we go on weekends?" Jennifer nodded. "Probably. Alex, if you're done staring at the ceiling, can we go?" She asked as she yawned. Lily yawned too. "Yeah, let's head up to the dormitory, I'm ready to crash. I just realized how tiring driving is, even with an enhanced car, charmed by yours truly, Lily Evans." Jennifer giggled. "Yeah, me too." Then she frowned. "Why did we drive anyways?" Alexandria sighed. "We drove because Lily had just finished modifying her new car and she just had to try it out. Speaking of which, what did you do with the car Lily?"

Beaming proudly, Lily showed them a little keychain that had a charm that looked like her car on it. Her two friend's eyes bugged out. "Is that your CAR!"

"Yup! Cool huh? I did tell you that I charmed it in different ways." As the girls got up and headed towards the Gryffindor common room, Jennifer sighed, "You never cease to amaze me Lils." Lily just beamed.

...

Celebrate with me people! I finally finished chapter 3! This one took a while because I made this one up as I went. Don't forget to review and along with chapter four, I'm going to have a little treat for you. At least I think it's a treat.
