It's took me a titch longer to update than I expected, but here's Year Two! Thank you to all the people who reviewed, and to the people who just e-mailed me normally to tell me how they liked it. Finals are here at my school, so I might not update for a couple weeks- sorry! And now, the actual story…..

Two

Finally, when the world stopped blurring and he no longer felt like he was going to see whatever he ate last reappear, Harry looked around the new memory Lupin had pulled him into. They appeared to be in a common room, but it wasn't the Gryffindor one. Suddenly a large group of people came climbing through the portrait hole, chatting loudly.

"Oh that was fun!"

"I never knew Professor Sprout had a niece!"

"She was simply adorable, don't you think so Bertha?" Harry immediately recognized the next girl to be Bertha Jorkins, who was apparently not sorted into Gryffindor along with her friends.

"Of course she was adorable; she was a three year old! I was more surprised at how clean Professor Sprout's room was. You'd think it'd be dirtier because she's a Herbology teacher and all, I mean, the room was connected off of one of the greenhouses!"

"Yes, that is true. I still say that was the most fabulous afternoon! Lierre, how on earth did you know Professor Sprout had a niece?"

Lierre, who had been happily listening to her friend's conversations up till this point, now smiled even bigger than she already had been.

"Oh well Professor Sprout was off that one week last year to watch her niece, remember? Well, when I asked her yesterday how her niece was, she said that her niece was coming to visit and that I could see her for myself! And I was staying with the Ravenclaws then, so I didn't say anything to them because I knew I'd be with you ladies today. I think you all appreciated it more anyway, because Sprout is your Head of House. I will admit though, I found it quite interesting when she was talking about the neighbor of her brother-in-law she met. They're just friends, of course!"

The girls all collapsed into giggles. Harry, now knowing that these were the Hufflepuff girls, was wondering if girls didn't have much better things to do than have group giggling parties. Lupin, watching the girls with amusement, seemed to be thinking along the same lines.

"Girls do seem to love to laugh, don't they?" he asked

"Yes they do" agreed Harry

Eventually when the girls calmed down, Lierre ran up to the dormitories and brought down a small bag. "Time for me to go!" She smiled, "Goodbye, I'll see you all Thursday, right?" the other girls nodded their agreement, looking slightly put out. Various versions of "Bye Lierre!" and "Till Thursday" followed Lierre to the portrait hole.

"Toodles!" Lierre called out before exiting the common room. Harry and Lupin automatically followed, but not before Harry heard Bertha comment quietly.

"I do think it's annoying how she has too leave us to go to the Slytherins"

Lierre raced down the corridors. Down, thought Harry, meant down, down, down and down. The Slytherin common room was very deep inside the castle. Eventually, Lierre reached it, and immediately ran up and gave the girl waiting for her outside a huge hug.

(A/N: As FRIENDS, sickos…)

"BELLE!" Lierre shrieked. And indeed, it was none other than Bellatrix Lestrange, well, Bellatrix Black right now, Harry thought. As much as he liked Lierre, he couldn't like Sirius' murderer. She was a Slytherin through and through.

And yet……. If he hadn't already known who Bellatrix would grow up to be, he never would have guessed be the twelve year old standing before him. She really seemed to be just another girl.

"Lierre!" Belletrix had a grin to match Lierre's. "How are you? Gosh I haven't seen you in simply ages!"

Lierre surpressed a laugh. "I know! It's been an entire minute since I saw you when I was getting my bag from Hufflepuff common room! I've been alright, but how on earth did you last an entire hour without me?"

Bellatrix groaned. "I nearly didn't. Sev caught up with me and wanted me to study! So I just told him I was going to wait for you here. And then you showed up!"

"Honestly, we really need to get him out more. If he reads much more he'll turn into a book!"

"You can't have been talking about me there, were you?" Harry felt his blood boil as Snape, or as Lierre thought of him, Severus, stepped out of the portrait hole. However, he knew from the last memory that trying to kill the memory form of Severus was a futile and slightly pathetic thing to do.

"Sev! So happy to see you in the real world!"

"Oh shut it Belle."

"Now, now you two! Do you want me to have to get involved here!"

"No, because whenever you get involved, me and Sev work out whatever disagreement we have and don't fight anymore!"

Lierre pouted. "Not every time…."

"Yes every time!" Severus cut in, "And then we get bored, and when Belle and I get bored, we bicker again! It's a never ending cyclic change!" seeing his friends clueless looks he sighed. "A cyclic change means that it's going to keep happening over and over."

"I swear we learn at least 20 new words a day from him." Belletrix muttered to Lierre. The latter snorted, then gave a small gasp.

"Belle! Look at the time! Sorry Sev, but I have my tap-dancing class in the common room right now." Lierre turned to go into the common room, but stopped when she saw Belletrix wasn't following. "Is my star pupil coming?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Of course! I was just wondering if Sev would like to come as well." Belletrix looked at Sev slyly. Severus turned pink and mumbled something like, " ..don't like dancing.. gotta go read…" he quickly set off in the direction of the library.

Torturing of Severus done, Belletrix gave a mischievous grin and climbed after Lierre into the portrait hole. Harry turned to look at Lupin, bemused. Tap dancing Slytherins? This he had to see. Lupin seemed excited as well.

"She never let anybody see her tap-dancing class. Our third year was the only time anyone saw her class do it- it was amazing! I really want to….oh"

"What?" asked Harry as the world began to blur.

"We don't have much time, so we're skipping till two days after this…to see her with the Gryffindors…" said Lupin disappointedly. And indeed, as their surroundings settled, they were indeed in the Gryffindor common room. Lierre was sitting in the center of the common room talking, as usual. Harry started as he recognized the boy she was talking to. His dad.

"….and I admit, it was rather funny when they noticed the flamingoes suddenly on their heads" Lierre was saying, "but couldn't you prank the other Houses too? It's not fair that you judge the Slytherins before you know them."

James Potter actually seemed apologetic. "Well, I guess the Mauderers could widen their selection of….prank testers…." Lierre laughed

"Nice choice of words. Prank testers, huh?" Just then Sirius came running up, panting.

"JAMES! HE DID IT AGAIN!" Remus followed Sirius. Lupin looked at his younger self and graoned, then stared at the ceiling embarrassedly, like he knew where this was going.

"Did not! Sirius is exaggerating!" Remus exclaimed.

"You said you'd never levitate my trunk to the ceiling again! My trunk is now on the ceiling, Remus you are the only one of us that would know how to keep it up there that long! How am I exaggerating here!

"Your trunk isn't on the ceiling! It's-"

"OF COURSE IT'S ON THE CEILING YOU LITTLE-"

"I said it's not on the ceiling, it's at least a foot lower than the ceiling." Sirius stopped, momentarily stumped by this logic. Then he remembered he didn't do logic.

"REMUS YOU ARE SUCH A- oh hey Lierre didn't see you there, how are you?"

"I'm great" said Lierre, stifling a laugh. James had been watching this entire scene with a rather amused expression on his face. Now though, he decided to fix the problem his two friends were having. In his own special way, of course.

"Remus, if you don't stop annoying Sirius I will throw your trunk out the window and burn all of your books." Remus gasped at the thought of no more books. James turned to Sirius. "Mate, if you don't stop screaming at me all day long I'll show everyone that picture of you curled up in a pile of blankets on the floor looking like a little puppy dog."

Sirius' eyes widened in horror as he had a vision of his macho tough-guy image going down the drain.

"Okay! Fine! We'll stop! Please don't do that!" Remus and Sirius cried at the same time.

"Aww…come on Sirius! You look adorable in that picture!" Lierre said, grinning

"You really think so?" Sirius looked surprised

Lupin grabbed Harry's arm. "How 'bout we move on before I embarrass myself any more than I already have?". Harry, who was gasping for breath in between his laughter, managed to nod. "All right- onto year three!"
