"Padfoot! Come on! Wake up!" Sirius groaned as James tossed a pillow at his head. "Come on! It's Slytherin versus Ravenclaw We need to go boo Malfoy and Snape."

"You go. Don't wanna. Warm bed." He muttered, curling back up under the covers.

"I didn't want to do this but… wingardium leviosa." Sirius suddenly found himself floating above his bed and he scowled.

"Prongs!"

SLAM! "Hello b-" Kadasa paused as she walked through the door one arm still in front of her from slamming the door open. She blinked, looking at Sirius then turned heading back out the door. "I need some caffeine." They heard her mumble before the door shut behind her.

The spell suddenly snapped and Sirius bounced several feet off the bed, landing in a heap on the ground. He looked up at James and growled.

"Thanks a lot Prongs!"

James grinned. "Now that you're out of bed, get dressed!" He cried heading out the dorm door.

Scowling and muttering to himself, wondering if venison tasted good, Sirius pulled on a pair of jeans and a dark blue sweater before he headed out the door after James.

"Panny-cakes!" Kadasa cried loudly, it echoing in the large great hall. "I love panny-cakes!"

"Keep it down!" Malfoy snapped from the Slytherin table, "some of us don't need to hear your love for pancakes."

She stuck her tongue out and pulled on her right eye. "Naaaaaah! You're just sour cause you have to play quidditch and I'm not rooting for you, you big jerk!" She turned on her heel and plopped into her seat. "Panny-cakes! Panny-cakes! I love panny-cakes!"

"Me too." Sirius yawned as he flopped next to her. "But not when I'm this tired. I put pepper instead of cinnamon on them cause I can't read the labels."

James snorted sitting across from him, Lily rolling her eyes sitting across from Kadasa, Sam on her left, Remus on Sirius' left.

Remus stood back up. "I'm not sitting next to Sirius when he's tired. Last time I did he put butter in my goblet."

Sirius grinned lazily as Remus flopped onto Kadasa's right across from Sam. "Such fond memories."

"Here!" Kadasa grabbed his plate and pulled it over. "I'll show you how to make good panny-cakes!"

She grabbed a handful of pancakes and placed three on her plate and three on his.

"First, start with a pancake. Second," she grabbed the butter. "Smooth on a layer of butter. Third, put cinnamon, sugar, and any other tops such as powdered sugar on top of the butter. Lastly take the syrup and create a pancake island in the middle of a syrup ocean on your plate." She grinned and handed him back his plate. "Volia! The perfect panny-cakes!"

He grinned. "Thanks love."

She scowled at him. "Jerk."

"You know it."

"So, James, who do you think is gonna win the quidditch match?" Kadasa asked.

"Ravenclaw most definitely."

"Me too!"

"Sirius three." Sirius muttered.

"Four!" Lily chirped.

"Five." Sam giggled.

They all looked at Remus who blinked. "Huh?"

"Say six Remus." Kadasa ordered.

"Six?"

"Yay!" Sirius and Kadasa cried, tossing their arms into the air, making Lily and Sam laugh.

"Uh… guys?" They all looked at Remus. "Six what?"

"Never mind." Kadasa sighed. "You totally ruined the dramatic tension." At the stares she received, "what?"

Sirius sighed. "We didn't think such big words could come from your brain Kadasa."

She scowled. "Not like you could do any better."

"I could… I just don't wanna."

She rolled her eyes. "Jerk."

"You know it."

"How many times a day do you say that?" James asked.

They shrugged. "About 20."

"The most was 37." Sirius stated. "And the least was 16."

"You kept track?" Lily asked.

Kadasa nodded pulling out a tiny book. She flipped it to a new page and wrote the date then two lines. "So far today was two times!" Lily rolled her eyes and James hit his head on the table.

"Merlin help us." Lily muttered as Kadasa showed Sirius a page in her book.

"I may be annoying," James started. "But at least I'm not weird like that."

"Thank Merlin for that."

"Come on! Come on!" Kadasa cried, rushing up the steps to the seats. "Let's get a good spot!" Sirius was right on her heels, Sam and Remus next, Lily following with Potter bringing up the rear.

Lily grabbed the railing and pulled herself up, trying not to be noticeable. When she reached the top she looked over the edge and gulped, the field swirling beyond her vision. She reached for the first stable thing she could find and held on tight.

"Evans?"

Please don't be who I think it is…She winced and looked at what she was holding onto: an arm, which connected to a shoulder, which connected to James' body. He was watching her carefully, worry almost completely hidden in his expression.

"You all right?"

"Fine." She gulped and managed a weak smile.

He frowned, looking worried now. "Are you sure?"

She nodded then noticed Kadasa and stumbled over, grabbing her friends' arm. Kadasa paused her conversation with Laverne and looked at Lily. "You okay?"

Lily nodded turning her face to the sky, Kadasa turning back to Laverne, sitting on the bench. James frowned watching Lily stare at the sky trying not to look at the ground and he realized something.

She's… scared of heights…. Why didn't I ever realize it?

He scowled to himself then flopped down next to Lily watching the players practice before the game. She didn't even glare at him, so absorbed in trying to watch them and not the ground. He grabbed her elbow and tugged her towards him. She offered a small squeak of surprise and turned towards him.

"You hungry?" She raised an eyebrow and looked at him. "I know where the kitchens are. I'm hungry. Let's go."

She pulled away from him, watching him carefully then nodded slowly. "All right."

He led her to the back steps and held out his arm. "M'lady?"

She gulped, looking at how far away the ground was then grabbed his arm tightly. He placed a hand over her hands and slowly led her down the steps and back to the school. Inside she gave a shuddering breath and looked at James as he strode down the hallway.

"Hey… wait… Potter!" She cried running after him. "Did you know?"

He looked at her. "Know what?"

"Know that I… I'm…"

"I'm hungry." He stated. "I don't know about you but some hot chocolate sounds mighty good to my stomach right about now."

She watching him turn and walk away then looked all around, as if searching for the other Marauders before jogging to catch up with him.

"You… you really know… where the kitchens are?"

He grinned brilliantly. "Of course I do. I'm a Marauder."

She rolled her eyes. "Should've expected that coming."

"Yes you should've now follow me Madame and be amazed." She rolled her eyes again this time smiling.

Kadasa frowned as she stared at the seat next to her where Lily had been not 30 seconds ago. "Hey Sammy?"

"Don't call me Sammy!" Sam cried angrily from behind her, Remus and Sirius grinning.

"Where'd Lily go?"

Sam rolled her eyes. "Her and James went back to the castle." Sirius and Kadasa's eyebrows rose. "Probably just some Head duties to be done." Sirius and Kadasa looked at each other then grinned before turning back to the game.

"Ta da!" James cried tossing out his arms. Lily raised an eyebrow, looking at the picture of a pear behind him.

"What am I supposed to see?"

He grinned and reached over tickling the pear, a door swinging open revealing a huge kitchen. Her jaw dropped. "Whoa…"

"So what do you want to eat?"

She glanced at him. "We just had breakfast."

He shrugged. "All right. I'm having hot chocolate."

She frowned then sighed and walked up next to him. "I'll have some too."

"Brilliant." He stated with a wink and tugged her into the kitchen.

"Master Potter is back!" One elf cried.

"Master Potter! Master Potter!"

"He brought a girl."

"Who is this Lady?"

"This is Miss Lily Evans."

"Mistress Evans. What would you like?"

"Um… can we each have a hot chocolate?"

"Coming right up!" She grinned watching them hustle around the kitchen, not seeing James smiling and watching her face light up.

"Samson is now in possession of the quaffle and is streaking towards Slytherin goals."

"Right… left… duck…" Kadasa murmured turning in her seat watching Samson from Ravenclaw. "If he bypasses Karen and tosses to Alex, Alex can score."

"No-no-no-no." Sirius stated. "He's gotta toss to Karen now then bypass Alex. Alex is being covered by Jen from Slytherin. They toss to Alex and she'll grab it."

"But Karen's not gonna get more that 5 feet with Lenny tailing her. She's gotta pass to somebody."

"If he passes to Karen, gets around Malfoy, and catches it back from Karen, he might have a shot."

"Yeah but Kevin's guarding the right ring horribly. If he can get around Crabbe without getting hit by a bludger then he'll have good shot."

"But getting past that monkey's swing is gonna be hard. He's gotta go left."

"Yeah. He can duck past Goyle."

Samson swerved right.

"No you stupid idiot!" Kadasa shouted. "Left! LEFT!"

"You're other left!" Sirius cried banging his fists on the railing.

Sam shook her head in amusement. "They certainly get into it don't they."

Remus nodded as Kadasa leaned over the railing.

"Samson! Your left!"

"They certainly do."

An 'ooooo' rose from the crowd as Samson slammed into another player.

"Oooooo." Laverne's voice came over the speaker. "That had to hurt. If Samson had turned left he might've avoided that collision. Ravenclaw's leading 70-40."

Kadasa let out a muffled roar. "Merlin! He needs to think these things through."

"Damn right!" Sirius swore.

"Great now Malfoy has it! Crabbe and Goyle are going to pummel anyone in his way and Jacky doesn't stand a chance!"

"Why'd they choose a second year as their keeper?"

"Cause Jacky is Karen's sister." Kadasa answered absentmindedly. "Come on Jacky! Guard ALL the hoops!"

"Isn't that why we choose Anne and Sarah?"

"No. Because both of them happen to be baseball players."

"Base-what's-it?"

"Baseball. I'll show you a picture later. COME ON JACKY! ALL THE HOOPS!"

Jacky tightened her legs around her broom and did a twirl, catching the quaffle by her fingertips as Malfoy tossed it.

"YES! GOOD JOB JACKY!"

"And a great play by Jacky Anderson! The score is currently 70-40. Oh! 80- 40! Great toss Karen!"

"Why are all of their players in the younger years?" Sirius suddenly asked.

"Cause they had all 7th years last year. They have almost an entirely new team this year, cept for Samson. Come on Ravenclaw!"

After getting their hot chocolate, James and Lily took a walk through Hogwarts, slowly sipping it.

This is nice…Lily thought. We're actually talking like human beings instead of savages.

"Hey! I got a great idea!" James grabbed her wrist and tugged her in the other direction.

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see." In a few minutes they reached the East tower James flung his arm out. "A personal view of the match without all the ear-shattering shouting."

She laughed, even though she tried hard not to. He winked. "Just for my Tiger Lily."

She tried to scowl but it was as if she couldn't do anything but grin. They leaned against the wall. "All right. What'd you put in my drink?"

He blinked, looking confused. "Huh?"

"I'm can't stop feeling happy."

He shook his head. "Dunno bout that but isn't it nice to actually enjoy my company."

She raised an eyebrow. "And who says I don't?"

His eyes widened before he caught her smirk and scowled at her before pulling his trademark grin back up. "Nice one Tiger Lily."

They were quiet watching as Ravenclaw scored again until James turned to her.

"So when'd you become scared of heights?"

She stiffened. "Excuse me!" She spluttered. "I'm not… I'm not…"

"I know you're scared of heights Lily." She looked at the ground. He touched her chin making her look up at him. "Hey. It's all right to be scared of something. Everyone is scared of something. If it's heights you don't go up on high things." He grinned. "If it's squirrels you don't go let Sirius tie acorns to you and make you sit in the park for three hours."

She raised an eyebrow. "Squirrels?"

"Can't tell you who but they're afraid of most rodents."

"Ah…" She giggled at that mental picture.

"So why?"

"Why what?"

"Why are you scared of heights?"

She was silent for a few minutes and he decided she wasn't going to tell him so he turned back to the game only to have her start talking.

"When I was little, my parents didn't know I was a witch so they sent me to a muggle school." She shrugged. "My friends dared me to climb the flagpole, so I did but when I tried to get down, my foot got stuck and I fell and was hanging upside down until someone could get me down. It was only about 15 feet up but I was still scared. Ever since then I couldn't handle heights." He knew she was lying but he didn't push it. He'd find out eventually. And the fact that she actually gave him an answer also made him stop asking for now.

A roar of disappointment came from the field and they heard Laverne. "And Snape has caught the snitch. Slytherin wins 220-210!"

"Aw damn." James scowled. "Great. Kadasa's gonna be livid."

.

"Damn it!" Kadasa shouted as Sirius growled to himself. "I was sure Ravenclaw was gonna win!

"Hey guys!" They turned to see James and Lily walking up.

"There you are Lily!" Sam cried walking over to her. "We were looking for you!"

"You were?" Lily asked looking at Kadasa who was still arguing about the match.

Sam shrugged. "Well I was looking for you. Kadasa was screaming at the players."

Lily laughed. "I could've guess that much."

"So how was the match?" James asked.

"Awesome!" Kadasa chirped. "Cept for the fact that Slytherin won."

"I can't believe it." Sirius grumbled. "Ravenclaw was up by 140 points and Snivellus caught the damn thing."

"I know. Henry almost had it to!"

"Two more inches and he would've had it."

"Where were you?" Sam asked.

Lily shrugged. "I wasn't feeling well so Potter and I came back. He claimed he was hungry."

"Ah."

"Oh! There's Jacky!" Kadasa chirped. "Jacky!"

The girl turned and smiled. "Hey Mori. What's up?"

"Great job out there!"

"Yeah!" Sirius chirped. "That one catch was awesome! Did you see Malfoy's face!"

Jacky blushed. "Thanks guys." She looked at Kadasa. "I heard you screaming at me so I thought 'hey, what the heck. I'll go for it.'"

"That's the spirit Jacky!" Sam chirped. "Now, let's get something to eat! It's almost lunch time!"

"Fooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood!" Kadasa and Sirius yelled running for the Great Hall.

"They're going to sleep well tonight." Remus remarked dryly as they headed for the Great Hall.

To Madmidge (and anyone who read but didn't review),

Sorry it's taken so long! Between my birthday, Halloween, stupid Honors projects, stress level increasing to a maximum, my dog being put back on crate rest and the fear of him having to go through another surgery, and the worry of my fish dying from swim bladder (inhales) I've been so busy I haven't had time to do much posting on fanfic.

I have had time to write, hence the four chapters I've updated. Sorry if they're a bit random… that's who I am though. I hold very intelligent conversations with myself, just like you, consisting of "I'm bored" "I'm tired" "I'm hungry" and that's about it.

Hope you've enjoyed the new updates. I'll try really hard to update more. I'd like to get to Christmas in this story, by Christmas. Thanksgiving chapter is up next so maybe I can post that next Thursday… (tries to reach calendar to check but can't so gives up and continues typing).

Oh well (long author's note). Hope you enjoy you're weekend.

Kadasa Mori
