A/N: I am so sorry I haven't update this. A couple of days after this was put up I looked over it, and found all these mistakes. I was like "eww, what did I do?" and I didn't expect to get so many reviews on the first chapter. Thank you so much to everyone who reviewed, I was just going to click delete, but you guys helped so much. I really hope you like it, some of this may be a tad confusing. There are a lot of people in this story, but I suppose you get used to it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.

The group entered the Hall; they were in their second year now. The group had written a list of things to do and find out before they went. They were meant to cross of one each day from the list.

Harry had contributed by putting down things about his parents and Neville's parents.

Hermione was devoted to finding out things about Emma and Sirius' relationship. She also wondered what happened to Jesse, Ellie and Claudia. Where had they gone?

Ron wanted to know things about his parents and was determined to keep revising and learning so he could get a better mark for the OWL's next year.

Fred and George wanted to relax; they saw this place as a holiday and decided it was time to treat themselves.

'Hi, you guys! Come on, we saved some seats for you,' shouted Lily as she ran up to greet them. 'We have been so looking forward to seeing you, it's seems like just yesterday I saw you.'

'Or three seconds ago,' Ron muttered. For them, that's how long ago they had seen Lily and her friends.

'Sorry?'

'Oh nothing, I just said it's good to see you again,' he said quickly. Lily frowned.

She pointed to a spot in the middle of the Gryffindor table. Everyone was there, the Marauders, Emma, Ellie, Jesse and Claudia.

'Hey guys,' said James, clapping Harry on the back. 'Good to see you.'

'Good to see you too,' Harry said to his father.

Fred and George ran quickly to class, they were already late. They had fallen asleep after lunch and hadn't woken up in time. They were surprised Hermione hadn't woken them.

Fred turned around to see if he had dropped something and smashed into someone.

'Sorry,' he said and helped her pick up her books that had fallen on impact.

'That's ok, happens all the time,' she said and she looked up at him. Fred was now staring at the girl as if there was something wrong with her.

'Something the matter?' she asked.

'No, nothing at all,' he said. 'Here are your books, I have to get to class, see you around,' he shouted as he left her. As soon as she was out of ear shot he muttered, 'bye mum.'

When Fred and George entered the room, they just found their group.

'We can tick something off the list,' Fred said triumphantly.

'And what is it? Sleeping over time?' Hermione said coldly.

'No,' said George. 'Fred met our mother.'

'You did? What was she like?' Ron asked.

'Mum,' said Fred. 'Mum was like Mum.'

'Flustered, busy, trying to get somewhere, that sort of stuff,' said George.

'Oh,' Ron said disappointed. 'I thought she would be different and we could see the real side of Mum, you know fun, happy, and not so uptight.'

'Knew I missed something,' said George, 'she's also uptight.'

Ron slumped into the nearest couch. 'I don't like this place. It's a lot of work.'

Hermione went over to him, 'you don't have to do all this work,' she said. 'It's wise, but you're taking it a bit seriously.'

Harry signaled them to talk about something different; someone was coming through the portrait hole.

It was Neville's father. Frank Longbottom, you could tell, he had the same shaped face as Neville and the same hair.

Sirius and James followed him into the Common Room.

'Hey Frank, I would like you to meet some new people, they're on exchange from Beauxbatons,' said James.

Frank turned around and walked over to them. 'Hi, I'm Frank Longbottom.' He smiled genuinely and waited to be introduced.

James went into a sort of trance, and Sirius snapped him out of it, 'introduce them,' he muttered.

'Oh, um, this is Hermione, Daniel, Alex, Cameron and Ryan,' he said quickly, trying to make up for sort of dozing off.

'Hi,' they all said.

Harry smiled; another thing tocheck off the list.

'Frank's in third year,' Sirius explained, 'and he's on the Quidditch team.'

'What do you play?' Harry asked.

'Chaser,' he said.

'And a bloody good one,' said James, clapping him on the back.

He smiled broadly, happy to be complimented, 'thanks.'

'No problem,' James answered back quickly.

'Hey, James,' a girl said coming in to the Common Room.

'Hey Alice, how are you?'

'Fantastic, my friends and I are going to have a small party tonight; do you guys want to come?'

'How small is this party?' he asked.

'Bout forty people, you know,' she laughed.

'Yeah,' he said laughing back with her. 'So you want all of us to come?'

'Yes,' she said definitely. 'I haven't had a chance to meet your exchange friends and this guy,' she said looking at Frank.

'Oh, yeah, this is Frank, he's in Gryffindor,' Sirius said.

'Well he is in our Common Room and wearing Gryffindor robes,' she said.

Emma and Jess walked in, just hearing the last comment and laughed. Sirius went bright red and muttered something under his breath.

Alice ran over to them and whispered.

'Oh, a party!' shrieked Emma happily.

'Shh! Anyway, it's going to be here after all the first years have gone,' Alice said excitedly.

'Oh ok,' Jess said, just as excited.

'Are you going to invite your friend?' Emma asked Alice.

'Who?'

'That guy who is staring at you,' she giggled.

Alice looked over her shoulder, Frank turned around immediately, but it only meant the girls giggled harder.

'Check, check,' Hermione said out loud to Harry.

He smiled back at her. 'Good work.'

'Do I look alright?' Hermione asked the girls in their dorm.

'Yeah, love the earrings,' Ellie said happily.

'Thanks,' Hermione said. She was wearing a mini skirt, a white blouse and three buttons were undone, with a school tie around the neck loosely. Everyone was the same, they were matching.

'You like Alex, don't you?' Lily asked her.

'Alex, oh you mean, yeah Alex. Um . . . yeah, I guess so,' Hermione blushed. She had nearly said "oh you mean Ron," but she caught herself in time.

'You can so tell,' Alice said, coming out of the shower.

'Really?'

'Yeah, it's about as obvious as James liking Lily,' Emma giggled.

'I wouldn't go that far,' Claudia laughed, patting Lily on the back. 'Poor girl.'

Emma came out of the bathroom with her hair curled and her hair dyed brown. She said she had always wanted to do that, and now she had.

'Wow,' said Lily. 'Now we don't look the same.'

'Good,' she said. 'I don't like getting called Lily. People go, oh look Lily's changed, and I'm like "yes, right".'

They laughed. She did look good though.

'Ready?' Alice called from downstairs.

Hermione drew in a breath, when she found out they were being taken back to this time she didn't think she would make really good friends. She'd always have Ron and Harry but she'd never really got along with the other girls in Gryffindor. Like Lavender and Parvarti, she stayed her distance from them.

'Never been more ready in my life.'

'Hi, who the hell are you?' said Sirius. Emma laughed and rolled her eyes.

'It's me,' she said.

'Oh,' said Sirius, 'who?'

'Emma.'

'You changed your head.'

'Hair colour is the word, I didn't change my head,' she said.

'What ever, can you get me another drink?'

'NO!' she shouted. 'I'm going to find Cameron.'

'Stay with me,' he said desperately.

'Hmm, desperate boy who has kissed around the whole grade or nice, gentle, caring boy.'

'The first one,' Sirius said.

She made a buzzing noise, 'wrong.' Emma walked off, finding Fred and kissing him on the cheek.

He smiled back at her, and whispered something in her ear.

'You know what is really wrong about that?' Hermione said to Harry when they were alone, watching Emma and Fred.

'No, what?' asked a confused Harry, to him it was just two people kissing.

'That Emma, right now, is the same age as Sirius, so imagine Fred kissing someone your godfather's age,' she said.

'The one here or the one back where we came from?'

'The one back where we came from,' she said. 'But Fred is the exact same age.'

'Eww,' Harry said, seeing a whole new light to Emma and Fred kissing.

'Yup,' laughed Hermione.

'Why did you do that to yourself, Hermione?' Harry asked.

'What, you mean how I dressed?'

'Yeah.'

'Well I thought it was time to see what I looked like dresses like the other girls and I wanted to try a new me now that I have a second chance,' she told him.

He nodded, and looked over to find Ron. He was talking to Alice, trying to find out things about her to take back to Neville when they returned.

'Ron likes you, you know.'

She nodded, 'I wish he would tell me though, I like him too.'

'Hi Jess,' Emma said to her best friend when she passed.

'Hi, how are you guys going?'

'What does it look like?' she asked, smiling broadly.

'Sirius has gone to drown himself,' she informed her.

'How long did it take him? He should have done it years ago,' she laughed. She told Jess she was joking when she saw the look on her face.

'Oh, good, that kind of scared me.'

Emma laughed and walked away, trying to figure out if he was really drowning himself or not.

Harry walked over to Ron and Alice, 'could you excuse us?'

'Sure,' Alice said and walked over to talk to George.

'What's up?' Ron asked his best friend.

'It's Hermione,' Harry said.

'What about her? Is she ok?' Ron asked urgently, looking around the room.

'Ron, mate, she's fine. You need to tell her you like her,' Harry said, nodding.

'What?'

'You just need to tell her, she's been waiting for ages, you guys are fourteen and you've liked each other for ages. Fred and Emma met a week ago and they can do it, why can't you and Hermione after four years?'

'You're right,' said Ron, drawing in a deep breath. 'I'll do it tomorrow.'

Harry laughed and shook his head. 'Tonight.'

'Alright, maybe,' Ron agreed and walked off.

Ellie was talking to Claudia about the exchange students when a boy with honey coloured hair tapped her on the shoulder.

'Hi, Remus. How do you like the party?' she asked.

He smiled at her, 'it's great.'

'That's good, I'm glad you're enjoying it,' she said happily, touching him gently on the arm.

He looked at where her arm was and smiled weakly. 'Can I talk to you?'

'Sure,' said Ellie.

'I meant Claudia,' he said, looking at Claud with great interest.

Claudia's eyes opened wide, 'sorry?'

'Can I talk to you?'

'Oh,' she said and looked at Ellie. She gave Claud an approving look and walked off with Remus. Still a bit shocked.

'I hate him,' said Ellie out loud.

'Oh, someone is having Remus problems,' said Jesse as she walked up next to Ellie, joining her in looking strangely at Claudia and Remus.

'Shut up, Jesse, or I'll tell Sirius you like him,' said Ellie warningly.

'You wouldn't dare,' said Jesse, frightened.

'If you don't think I would then you don't know me very well,' said Ellie. She looked away from Remus who was laughing at something Claudia had said and looked at Jesse. Her eyes were wide.

'You know Emma doesn't know that I like him,' said Jesse.

'You know I know,' laughed Ellie, 'but if you say that again then she will know.'

'Fine, I won't tease you anymore about Remus,' said Jesse, sighing.

'Check mate.'

'Hello, Lilykins,' James said happily.

'Hi James.'

'Having fun?' he asked her.

'The fun stopped when you arrived,' she said dully.

'Oh, you don't mean that,' James laughed.

'Sure I don't,' Lily said sarcastically.

'Oh, good, for a minute there I thought you were being serious,' James said, not noticing her sarcasm.

'Me, serious? Good god no,' she laughed at James.

'I'm confused,' said James, his face creasing.

'Sorry darl, was that conversation to much for your brain?' Lily asked.

'Probably,' he muttered as he walked away.

Ellie and Jesse were still talking an hour later.

'You know what I figured?' Jesse asked Ellie. 'That it won't matter if Emma found out I liked Sirius, because she doesn't like him.'

'You know that's just the act she puts on so other guys like her,' said Ellie. 'And I didn't say I would tell Emma, I said I would tell Sirius, but you know Sirius, he's such a gossiper and Emma can't go past gossip, it's like her life after guys.'

'True,' said Jess.

They both laughed, but Ellie stopped immediately when her eyes caught Claudia and Remus together.

'Bitch,' Ellie shouted.

'Calm self,' said Jess in a robot like tone.

'It's not working, my heart is having a break down,' Ellie panted.

'Go and snog someone Claud likes,' suggested Jess.

'Which means I would be snogging Remus, doesn't it?' Ellie shouted.

'Oh, whoops,' Jesse said quickly. 'Everyone likes James, go and snog him.'

'Now why am I not surprised you didn't suggest Sirius and instead you suggested James?'

'Because, no one really likes James except for Claud and so the plan would work perfectly,' Jess said.

'Right, should I ask Lily before I do it?'

'Nah, if she really doesn't like James then she won't care. This is like killing two birds with one stone or whatever.'

'How?' Ellie asked, extremely confused.

'This will test whether Lily really doesn't like James and you can get back at Claud,' said Jess, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

'Right,' said Ellie, taking in a deep breath. 'Let's go snog James.'

'Bitch,' said Claudia loudly as she saw Ellie and James.

Remus looked over to what she was looking at and Claudia stopped him.

'Come on,' she said and kissed him again.

'Alright then,' Remus said, not seeing that she was angry with Ellie and just using him to get back at her.

'Bitch,' said Lily. 'Have to go find Remus to snog, damn it, he's with Claudia,' said Lily. She then realised it was a fight they were having, getting back on each other.

'But who started it?' she asked Emma.

'I have no bloody idea,' she said honestly, her eyes darting from James and Ellie to Claudia and Remus after Lily had explained her theory.

'It's some kind of weird love square,' said Lily.

'Maybe even a pentagon,' said Emma. Lily gave her a quizzical look.

'You know, cos now you're involved now, so there are five people involved,' she explained.

'True,' said Lily, 'but no one can know that I care,' she said, pointing at Emma.

'I swear I won't tell anyone,' she said putting her hands in the air to show her defeat.

'Good, if this gets out James will never forgive me,' said Lily. 'And that would mean hell has broken loose.'

Three days later the group was in a mess. Ellie and Claudia weren't talking to each other, Emma and "Cameron" were inseparable so Sirius was having a hard time concentrating on anything else, Lily was secretly angry at Ellie and Claudia (Ellie because she snogged James, and Claudia because Lily found out she started it), Remus was angry at Ellie for making a mess of everything, James didn't really want to date Ellie, but with a feisty temper you couldn't really argue with her, Jesse was secretly angry with Emma for making Sirius' life unbearable and she was trying to make Sirius notice her in the mean time.

'I hate this,' said Emma, who had noticed that Jess had a thing for Sirius. It was kind of hard not to notice when she was always talking to him and saying how he could get nay girl he wanted and that she couldn't understand why he was so caught up on one girl.

'I know,' said Lily, 'everything is a mess.'

'Tell me about it,' said Jess, who didn't know that Emma knew.

'I would if it wasn't so complicated,' laughed Emma. She knew Jess was just using an expression, but she didn't care.

Ellie walked in holding James' hand.

Lily rolled her eyes and left, which left Emma and Jess in an awkward position, and to make matters worse, Claudia and Remus walked in too.

'Bloody hell,' said Emma. 'I'm out of here; I think I'll go talk to Lily.'

Jess was not going to be left alone so she walked outside, not having any idea where she was going.

'So,' said Claudia to Remus. 'We'll go upstairs to the boys' dorm.'

'And we'll stay here,' said Ellie to James.

'Good,' said the boys at the same time. They were still best friends, no girl came between them and they really didn't even know how bad the fight was.

Harry, Hermione and Ron watched all this from a distance.

Ron didn't have the courage to tell Hermione he liked her, so Hermione continued her life, just like every other day.

'They're having so much trouble; I hope next year all is better,' said Harry.

'Yeah,' said Ron. 'Other wise this place is the worst, too much homework, too many people to remember names of and too much fighting.'

'That just about sums this place up,' said Harry. 'But you forgot about this being the best place too, because I get to meet my mum and dad.'

They all nodded and got on with their homework, not knowing that next week was going to be even harder.

A/N: Please review! And I promise I will update faster this time, I'm sorry about the long wait for this chapter!
