A/N: So sorry that this update took so long! I missed some school because I was sick and oh the make up work! The mound hasn't seemed like it's getting smaller. Luckily, I have found time to update this story. Hope you like!

Summery: A/U What if Lilly Evans wasn't Miss. Perfect? What if she had a twin? Lilly Evans and her twin, Linzey Evans, have just transferred to Hogwarts from another magical school. They're in their second year and quite the troublemakers. James Potter, Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin—the Mauderers—are in their second year at Hogwarts (Peter isn't in this fic) when two beautiful transfer students arrive. They're in for a surprise when the new students threaten their position of "troublemaking kings". Then James falls in love with one of their new enemies…The fun begins.

Chapter Seven: Secrets and Unwanted Letters

James' P.O.V.

"Let's see…Pranks. It all started when they put those dung bombs in our room, which we still don't have any idea why…something about cornered. We got 'em back with neon hair, that worked out okay. They got us good with Peeves after that. Then we really got 'em good when we snuck that potion in their drink that made them squeak instead of talk. And then they stole all our candy, which wasn't very nice but a good payback. So we got them back by making them turn purple, I guess that went well considering we forgot that Evans #1 (a.k.a. Lily) was good at charms. But they got us good when they enchanted that rain cloud to rain on us all day. Then we got them back by putting those oversized frogs in their beds—that was pretty funny to watch."

"Okay, Sirius, we've heard your prank speech about a million times already. Do you have to tell it to us everyday?" Remus said, getting a little annoyed. Gosh, I would be too if I were doing my homework. But, I'm not. Though it has been getting a little annoying, I sort of like hearing Sirius' speech. Okay, maybe I should go see a healer…actually liking a speech that Sirius Black has made about a million times?

"Well, Remus, you have to admit that you like to hear of all the pranks that we've done."

"No, Sirius, I don't have to admit it because I don't like that speech of yours." Remus has been acting a little bit cranky lately. I wonder why. He's getting to that point when he looks really pale and sickly. Weird.

"Hmm…I like it. He keeps saying how good we got you and stuff. Though, Black, you need to learn when to stop talking every once in a while. It'll be good for you. Plus, the cornering thing…seriously. I thought you were one of the best in our year. Not very smart in my opinion."

There she was, Lily Evans, the girl of my dreams, standing right behind Sirius' chair. She looks really pretty today.

"I WHAT!" Uh-oh, I think I said that last bit aloud.

"N-nothing." I said.

"Riiiight. You know you're a really bad liar, Potter? I can't believe that you just said that!" Ignoring me after a hateful glare, Lily went on. "Anyways, Black the captain of Gryffindor's Quidditch team, John Banks—."

"I know who the captain is!" Sirius retorted.

"Okay, whatever. Anyways, Banks said that he wants you to fill in for Leah Shepard, the B—."

"Beater, I know."

Lily ignored him and kept going…oh, those emerald green eyes of hers! "Because Shepard got hurt real bad yesterday during practice and won't be able to play for a while. Potter was supposed to tell you, but unsurprisingly he forgot. Practice is at 5:30 Saturday morning. Better be there if you want a spot on the team…we play Slytherin in a week. Hope you're in shape. Gotta run, catch ya'll later, even though I'd rather not."

I forgot to tell Sirius about that, didn't I? Oh, well.

Crap. Sirius was looking at me. Crap. Remus was looking at me too. Crap. I know what they're going to say. It's about Lily, I imagine.

"Great! Jamesie and I get to be on the team together! Whoopee! So, Jamesie, I can't believe you didn't tell me! I thought we weren't going to keep secrets from each other! Especially ones that I can tease you about! James and Lily sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love, then comes—."

"Sirius, that is so old. The reason why I never tolled you was because I knew you'd do that. Plus, don't call me Jamesie! You know, I'd like to see you like someone…Evans #2 perhaps?"

"James Potter, I do not like Linzey Evans!"

"Yeah, whatever. You just stare at her and call her by her first name for the heck of it."

"Of course I do. You have yet to explore the wonders of Sirius Black."

Remus finally spoke, "I for one don't know if I would want to do that."

"I second that." I tolled my best friend.

"Well you guys are just no fun!"

Remus and I exchanged glances. Sure, whatever.

"Anyways, I have to go visit my mum again this weekend. The healer thinks that her sickness is coming back again." Remus said.

"But wasn't that like a month ago since she was sick last?" Sirius asked.

"Well, um, yeah. I guess so."

"Hmm…your mum sure does get sick a lot."

"Yeah, well, could you guys get me my make up work?"

"Good ol' Remus, always worrying about school work. Yeah, we will." I said. Something fishy was going on here…and Sirius and I are going to get to the bottom of it.

Lily's P.O.V.

That James Potter, I swear! Can he ever stop bothering me? Calling me beautiful and stuff like that. Like he means it. He just wants to get me liking him and then he'll break my heart. That's what everyone says that he did to girls last year…and this year.

Plus, Banks had to go and give Black Shepard's spot. Two Marauderers together on the same team won't be pretty. I wonder how Black and Liz will work together.

"Um, guys, my mum's been really sick lately, so I'm going to go see her tomorrow for a couple of days. I was wondering if you could get me my make up work. Please." Rachel interrupted my thoughts.

"Yeah, sure. We will." I said, barely knowing what I was agreeing to.

"Thanks so much guys!"

"Yeah, no problem." Liz said. She looked a little troubled. Something weird was going on here…and Liz and I are going to get to the bottom of it.

Liz and I were down at breakfast for only the third time since school had started. This morning I had been victorious in getting her up the same time I did. I probably owed most of my victory to the many charms I went through this morning to complete my task.

Breaking me out of my thoughts, a letter dropped between Liz's and my plate. Hmm…

"It's from mum and dad. Wonder what they want." She said.

"Me too, lets read it."

Dear Lily and Linzey,

Your father and I would like to inform you about a change in plans over the Christmas holidays. You are still coming home, but we will be having a few guests coming over.

We have invited a friend of ours to stay for a couple of days. Maria and her husband will be bringing along their son and nephew who are your age.

Don't worry, though. You will not have to entertain them throughout the whole holiday. They are only staying, like I've said before, for a couple of days.

Hope that you don't mind,

Mum and Dad

P.S. You two better not be getting into too much trouble!

P.P.S. NO pranking the guest when you come home! And, please, call them by their first names. You know we don't like to be too formal like those Blacks.

"Wonderful. Guests over Christmas and we don't even know who they are." I said.

"Agreed. That is going to be a fantastic couple of days." Liz said.

James' P.O.V.

"Hey, I got mail." I said as I started opening the letter from my parents.

Dear James,

There has been a change in plans for the Christmas holidays. You are coming home instead of staying at the school. Your friend, Sirius, can come as well.

Also, for a few days we will be going to a friend of mine's house. Sirius can come, too. I tolled them that he was my nephew because they don't like any member of the Black family.

The family has two daughters that are your age, I think. I'm pretty sure they go to your school.

Love,

Mum

"Hey, Sirius, mum says that you can come over for the Christmas holidays! And that we're going to one of her friend's house. Oh, and the lady has two daughters that are our age!"

"Really? Cool." Sirius said absentmindedly, "Wait, did you say two daughters?"

I chuckled. That's Sirius for you. "Yep."

"I'm in! Wait, whose house are we going to?"

"Dunno. Mum didn't say. So, are we going to get going on finding out about Remus?"

"Oh, yeah. Lets."

Linzey's P.O.V.

Lil and I looked at each other. It was time for payback. Black and Potter had stood up and were leaving the great hall. We followed. They turned a corner and Potter took out what looked like an invisibility cloak.

"Potter, Black!" Lily yelled, walking up to the two. I followed.

"What do you want, Evans Twins?" Potter said, hiding his cloak behind his back.

"Where's Remus?"

"Um…why."

"No reason, really. Just wanting to know where he is." I took out my wand, and Lil followed. Lil then started to move in on the boys, to the point when they were against the wall.

"He went to see his mum. She's sick." Black said with a confused look on his face.

That's where our little payback ended.

"His mum is sick?" Lil asked, like it was the weirdest thing that ever happened.

"Well, Evans, it does happen sometimes." Potter said.

"SICK?" Lily repeated.

"Yeah, that's what we said, Evans." Black retorted.

Lily started at him wide-eyed. What was wrong with her? Was their something that I was missing?

"Um, Lil, you okay?" I asked her with concern.

"No, do I look okay, Linzey?" She rarely used my whole name—she was either really puzzled or really mad. "Gosh, don't you get it?"

"No, sorry."

"Remus' mum is sick, and so is Ray's."

Wait a second…Oh my gosh! I get it.

"Do you mean…"

"I think so. I mean what are the odds of…"

"His mum getting sick now…I know."

"So that has to mean…"

"That Remus is also…"

"Uh, are you two going to tell us what's going on?" Lil and I had totally forgotten about Potter and Black.

Lily muttered something about "not our place to say…find out yourself…need to go…library."

"Hello? Earth to Evans Twins!" Black said.

"Right, well, we gotta go." I grabbed Lily's arm and dragged her away from the two Marauderers, heading in the direction of this secret room we had found a couple days before.

"Hey, where are you going?" I heard Black yell out after us as we turned the corner…

A/U: CLIFFY! Hope you liked it. Don't worry—you won't be confused too long about what Lily and Linzey were talking about. And as for the Slytherin vs. Gryffindor game—it probably won't be in the story much. Sorry about that for anyone who likes Quidditch.

Thanks for all the reviews, everyone!
