Ninja Turtles and Hogsmeade

Lily, Kate, James, Remus, and Peter are sitting at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall and talking.

"We have to go to Hogsmeade after breakfast. We can spend the whole day there since it's a Saturday." Kate said excited.

"Yeah. But first we need to find Tori. She promised to help us look for dresses for the ball, remember?"

"Remus asked me to go the ball with him and I said yes. So I guess you're alone now, unless you get lucky and someone asks you out only a week before the ball. Other than Potter." Kate said.

"Hey Lily, Kate." They heard a voice say from behind them.

The two girls turned around to see Brian Smith standing there.

"Hey Brian." They said.

"Lily are you going with anyone to the ball next week?" Brian asked.

"No, why?"

"Umm, well…I was wondering if you would like to go to the dance with me. You know, like a date." Brian said nervously.

Lily's face lighted up. "I'd love to!"

"Great, so I'll pick you up at your house at around 7?"

"Sure!." Lily said. She could see the relief in his eyes before he left.

"You are one lucky girl." Kate said, still a little shocked over what just happened.

The doors to the hall opened and Tori started walking towards them, a huge smile on her face.

"Hey guys!" Tori said.

She sat down and grabbed some toast to put on her plate. The girls started talking about Hogsmeade, when the door opened again.

"Do not fear, Ninja Turtle is here!" Sirius yelled, walking through the big doors. He was dressed in a mask and a huge shell on his back. (a Ninja Turtle's costume)

Half the students just stared at him with a confused look on their faces. The other half started laughing, because they were muggleborn and knew what Ninja Turtles were.

"Who told him about Ninja Turtles?" Lily asked looking at her friends.

Tori shifted uncomfortably in her seat, avoiding eye contact with her group. When she felt all eyes on her she looked up.

"What? He wouldn't stop bothering me so I gave him some comic books on Ninja Turtles. I had seen them once at Lily's house and thought that might shut him up." Tori said defending herself.

Everyone groaned.

"Come on. Let's go to Hogsmeade." Kate said getting up.

They left the hall, leaving Sirius to trouble his fellow Marauders.

HOGSMEADE

"Wow, look at all these dresses! Too bad they're way to expensive." Kate said.

"Yeah. Excuse me, but would you show us your cheapest dresses. We're sort of on a budget. Thank you." Tori called out to the lady.

The young worker took them to the back of the room.

"Here, the changing room is to your left."

3 hours and 48 dresses later, they still hadn't found the right dresses.

Lily was getting slightly bored looking for dresses, because she couldn't find the right color that would clash with her red hair and green eyes. But something shiny caught her eye. She walked towards it and pulled it out from a pile of dresses. Just my size, she thought.

She went to the changing room to try it on. She came out 5 minutes later.

"Wow! That looks amazing, Lily! You should get that one." Tori said.

Her dress was emerald green that fell right below her knees. It was strapless and fit her perfectly, showing off every curve. It had a sparkly white flower on the side of her dress, making it not too casual and plain, but not too fancy.

"I love it!" Kate said. She had just found her dress and was walking into one of the stalls.

She, too, walked out 5 minutes later.

"You look great Kate! I'm sure Remus will love it." Lily said.

She wore a light blue sparkly dress that, like Lily, came just below her knees. It had one strap on her right shoulder and clung to her body. At the end of her dress, to her left side, were white shiny hearts. She immediately fell in love with it.

"Now that we're done with dresses, let's go meet Chris at Three Broomsticks and get a butterbeer.

"'Kay." Kate and Lily said together.

They met Frank Longbottom along the way and spent 10 minutes talking to him about Alice.

"You want to propose to her?" Tori asked.

"Well, not now. Like maybe in a couple months or a year." Frank said.

"That would be so sweet!" Lily said, a dreamy look in her eyes.

"I'm sure she'd love it! She talks more about you than Lily does of Potter." Kate said.

"Yeah! I almost stuffed a pillow in her mouth! She was talking about you nonstop. And it was 12 at night!" Tori said.

"I don't talk about Potter!" Lily said.

"Alice talks a lot about me?" Frank said ignoring Lily.

"Oh yeah! You have no idea. I have to make up the most outrages excuse to get her to shut up." Tori said.

"Outrages excuse?"

"Exactly! Like one time, I told her that I had Frankogitus! She was talking so much about you that I couldn't take it anymore!" Tori exclaimed.

"I remember that!" Lily said.

"Did she actually believe you?" Frank asked.

"Well, not really. But I think she got the hint. Though she did throw her Muggle Studies book at me for thinking of such a stupid excuse." Tori said, flinching at the memory. "From then on, I think I just let her talk about you. It was better than being hit in the head by the heaviest book on earth."

The group laughed and said their goodbyes. The girls went to Three Broomsticks and Frank headed off to look for a diamond ring, still smiling at the thought of Alice talking so much about him.

Tori, Lily, and Kate entered, looking for Chris. They found him sitting and talking with Amos Diggory.

"Hey sweetie." Tori said.

"Oh hey. Look Amos, if you really like her, then go ask her out but right now I'm busy okay?" Chris said.

"Okay, well I guess I'll see you guys later. Bye Chris, Tori, Lily, and Kate." Amos said getting up.

"Good luck getting the girl." Tori yelled as he left.

"So, what was that all about?" Tori asked once they were all seated.

"Oh nothing. He needed some advice on how to get a girl." Chris said grinning.

"So Chris, I heard you gave Tori a really pretty dress for the ball. It's a shame she won't let anyone see it." Kate said turning her head to Tori.

"Yeah, I heard it was really expensive. I can't wait to see her in it. How long did it take to find that dress? Tori is the pickiest girl I know. She's pickier than Petunia!" Lily said.

"It took me a couple of hours actually. I had to ask every girl that walked by what they thought of that dress. If I got 15 or more 'it's good', than I would buy it. The things Tori puts me through…" Chris said shaking his head.

"I'm not that picky! I just don't like certain things!" Tori said.

They spent the rest of the day with Chris, until Kate decided to go see Remus. And Lily decided to go hang out with Brian. That left Chris and Tori alone.

"My birthday is coming up! I can't wait!" Tori said in excitement.

"I know. I'm still looking for your gift though. You and your pickiness…"Chris said smiling.

Tori gave him a friendly smack on the arm.

"I told you! I'm not picky. I just—"

"Don't like certain things." Chrissaid, completing the sentence for her.

"Come on, let's go back to Hogwarts. It's getting dark."Chris said holding Tori's hand.

GRYFFINDOR COMMON ROOM

Tori entered the common room to hear Lily and James fighting once again.

"Please can I see your dress?" James asked.

"NO! What part do you not get in that? The 'n' or the 'o'? Stay away from me!" Lily yelled.

"But I want to see it right now!"

"Well you can see it next Saturday!"

"Do they ever stop?" Tori asked, sitting next to Peter.

"I don't think so." Peter said.

"When did they start?" Tori asked again.

"Oh just 10 minutes ago. Lily, Kate, I had just entered and James was sitting there with Sirius." Remus said sitting down in between Tori and Peter.

"So Remus, have you told Kate yet?" Tori asked.

"Um, no. I think I'll tell her tonight." The blond said turning slightly pale.

"Peter, do you think I should be Michael Angelo? You know the Ninja Turtle. I probably look like him too, with my green hair." Sirius asked.

"Yeah." Peter squeaked.

Everyone went up to bed except for two teenagers. Kate and Remus were both sitting on the couch, staring at the fire.

"Kate, would you…would you ever leave me?" Remus asked nervously.

"No, I would never do that! Why?" Kate asked looking confused.

"I have something to…to tell you. Something I should have told you before any of this happened." Remus said.

"What?" Kate said, now looking more serious.

Remus looked like he was thinking of what to say next.

"Have you ever noticed how I leave once a month?"

"Yeah. You said your mum is ill and she would like to see you once a month." Kate said.

"Well, have you ever noticed that I only leave on a full moon?"

"No. I never really noticed that part. Why? Does your mum only want to see you then?"

"About my mother, it's not true. Anything I told you about her being sick was all a lie."

"What? Then why do you leave?" Kate asked.

Does she ever listen in class? Remus thought.

"I'm…I…" Remus stuttered.

"You're…? Kate asked, trying to find out what he was saying.

"I'm a werewolf." Remus said so softly you could barely hear what he was saying.

Unfortunately, Kate had good hearing. Her eyes widened. His eyes closed. He didn't want her to leave him, and he'd rather not watch it. But what came next, he didn't expect. He felt two arms wrap around him. He opened his eyes to see Kate crying and hugging him.

"Oh my gosh! Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'm so sorry!" She sobbed.

"I thought you would leave me. Most people don't like werewolves." Remus said.

"I would never hate you! Screw them! Remus, I love you! I would never do anything like that!" She said, still in his arms.

"I love you, too." Remus said, closing his eyes and holding her protectively.

After a couple of minutes you could hear only breathing coming from the common room. (they were sleeping on the couch.)

MORNING

Kate and Remus awoke to see Sirius grinning madly at them.

Oh no! Not him! Out of all the people in the world, it has to be him. Great. Just great. Remus thought.

"You never came up last night, Moony. Having a little fun down here, eh?" Sirius said.

"We weren't doing anything, Sirius. You have a nasty mind!" Kate said getting up.

"Leave them alone, Sirius! Come on, let's go have breakfast." Tori said.

"By the way, where's James?" Tori asked.

"He's still asleep. Most probably in Lily Land." Sirius replied.

"I'll go wake him up." Tori grinned.

She went up to the boy's dorm and sat on James's bed.

"Hey Lily, come here!" Tori yelled.

"WHAT? Where's Lily? She can't see me like this!" James said pulling the covers over his bare chest and scanning the room for a redhead.

"Chill out sleepyhead! I was only kidding. Jeez, it's so easy to trick you! I wasn't even done with my trick and you wake up!" Tori said.

"Anyways, come on! We have to go eat lunch, and then you promised you would play quidditch with Sirius and me. Kate and Remus are gone, doing their own stuff and Lily is off, too. Peter, well, I don't know where he is. But hurry up and get ready! Oh and watch out for Sirius's—"

THUMP

"—books." Tori finished her sentence after James tripped over his mate's mess.

"Ow…"

Hey sorry for the Brian and Chris mix up thing. I edited it so it should be alright. It gets kind of confusing with so many guys in the story! Thanks for the reviews!
