Alchemy: Ohayo minna-san! Gomen nasai!
Sun: Huh?
Alchemy: I'm sorry everyone! I was supposed to have the chapter up a while ago, but I was busy packing cause I'm leaving for 2 weeks and the story won't be updated for two weeks, but I'm working on another chapter right now and I got caught up in writing that and I sorta forgot that we were supposed o update. Sun told me two days ago that I was supposed to update, but I didn't get home till 10:30 that night and I had to go to bed soon after that and I was finishing up and fixing the chapter and I'm updating today!
Ayumu Narumi- Pookian III isn't yours. Stay away and get off.
Windflight- Yes, yes. Snape is a student and McGonagall is a teacher, but we thought that it was going to be fun having them dance together and they're drunk at this time.
Sun-Obsessed- Moo!
KakashiLvr- Maybe, maybe. It would be fun to write though…As for spell check… I have two versions of each chapter and I put the wrong one up.
SasukeBlade- Well, writing with a co-author makes everything easier. My co-author is my best friend, so it's easy for me to write with her. Writing duties are usually every other chapter. We talk to each other and we figure out what is going to happen and then one of us goes and writes the chapter while the other ether sits around doing nothing or they write the other chapter.
Cherry Blossom- Well, Sirius isn't getting punched in the face. That's not going to happen. Sakura and Syaoran do have some time alone in this chapter and I am (partially) sorry to say that Sirius does not see Syaoran and Sakura together.
lovova- They might get together… We're not sure yet. I don't know. I'd have to ask Sun about that.
Batya- Yes, yes. I know that a lot of time has passed and I'm sorry! But, HBP is good. I finished it last night at like 4 in the morning.
Annie- Gomen nasai! Gomen! Gomen! Gomen nasai!
Sun: Will you put the chapter up now?
Alchemy: Fine, fine.
Pookian: Pookie!

Remus sighed as he leaned against the wall. Everyone seemed to be dancing and having a good time with their friends. James and Sirius came over to the werewolf with huge grins on their faces.
"C'mon Moony," Sirius said. "Have some fun and get out there and dance."
"I'm perfectly fine right here," Remus replied as he looked down at the book in his hand. He hadn't really planned on coming to the ball. He wanted to study as much as he could. The O.W.L.s were really close, but James had managed to talk the boy into going to the ball. It was to have fun and to get away from studying and everything like that.
"You need to get out here and dance," James said to his friend. "It's a lot of fun and you'll have a blast." Without saying anything else, Sirius had Remus by the arm and he was dragging his friend out onto the dance floor.
James had pulled Jeanne away from Maaya and he dragged her over to Remus. "Ok you two, you can dance," he said with a smile.
"Uh, what are you doing?" Maaya asked walking up behind Sirius and James.
"Pookie!" Pookian III said happily jumping over to Sirius and resting on his head.
"We're trying to get Moony here to dance," Sirius replied.
"You're…trying to get…them…to dance!" Maaya exclaimed as she started laughing.
Jeanne looked back at the three annoyed. "Why are you trying to get me and Lupin to dance?" she asked.
"'Cause you and Moony need to have some fun," Sirius said with a grin.
Jeanne frowned. "Fine, we'll dance…" she started out.
"If Maaya and Sirius dance also," Remus concluded.
Maaya and Sirius stared at the two in horror. "What?" they both exclaimed.
"You heard us," Jeanne said with a smile. "The two of you have to dance together if we dance."
Maaya started backing away from the others. James caught her moving out of the corner of hid eye and grabbed the sleeve of her robe. "Nah uh. You're dancing with Sirius and there's nothing you can say about it."
Maaya grumbled something that couldn't be heard. "You four will each get 3 galleons if you dance together," James said, taking a sip of punch. It was obvious he had had a lot to drink.
Jeanne looked at James, shocked. Are you seriously giving away that much money?" she asked.
James grinned. "Course I am," he replied.
"Bah," Maaya said shaking her head. "It's your money."
"Though we do profit from it…" Sirius said thinking aloud.
"One dance couldn't hurt…" Jeanne said obviously in thought.
"Maybe for you it wouldn't," Maaya snapped. "Though the money does sound good and I do need some galleons…"
Remus shook his head. "Are you really sure you want to do this?"
"Well, we could use the galleons to do something fun. I don't see the harm in one little dance," Jeanne commented.
Maaya turned to Sirius. "Fine, we'll dance, but James has to give us the galleons first."
"Yeah mate," Sirius replied turning to his best friend.
Jeanne and Remus stared at James, waiting for him to take out the gold. "Fine, fine," James replied with a sigh. He stuck his hand in his pocket and took out 12 galleons. The boy handed them out to each of the four that were going to dance.
"Thank you," Maaya said with a triumphant smile as she counted up the galleons and pocketed them. "That was a generous donation to the Maaya foundation. The Maaya foundation. Helping you find the things you need. 5 sickles for half an hour."
"Maaya," Jeanne said shaking her head. Maaya just grinned, but her face turned to a look of displeasure.
"We gotta dance now…"
The next song came on and Maaya smiled. "This is one of my favorites!" she exclaimed happily, forgetting about everything else, she grabbed Sirius's hand and dragged him out onto the dance floor so they could dance to this fast pace song.
Jeanne shrugged and turned to Remus. "Well, James paid us to dance so we should go out there and start dancing," she said with a grin. "We can't let them have all of the fun."
Remus sighed and smiled. This night looked like it was going to be fun.
The Adventures of the Fellowship Through time
Lily held a water bottle in her hand as she looked around. The girl took a sip. She wondered where Maaya and Jeanne had run off. They had disappeared when she told them that she was going to grab herself something to drink. The two probably scattered thinking that Lily meant she was going to have some punch.
The girl shook her head with a sigh as she capped the water bottle. Lily started to walk around the Great Hall. This place was really good for balls and big gatherings. They hadn't had any events like this before and the girl was surprised how much fun it was.
Lily shook her head as she looked out a window. The girl walked into someone and fell to the ground. She looked up. "Sorry," Lily said as she got to her feet. "I wasn't looking where I was going."
"It's alright," the person replied. Lily looked at whom she had bumped into. It was Syaoran. He held out her water bottle with a smile. "This is yours I believe."
"Thanks," Lily said with a smile. She waved as Syaoran walked off. He was drunk. It was obvious by the way he swayed when he walked. The boy almost walked into the wall.
Lily started to walk again and stopped when she saw James. That bastard was smiling and watching something. Pookian III was on his head too. The girl walked over to him and tapped him on the shoulder. "Potter, what are you doing?" she asked.
James turned to look at Lily. He grinned and pointed out to the dance floor where Sirius and Maaya were easily seen dancing together. Lily closed her eyes, not believing what she was seeing. Hopefully that would be gone after the girl opened her eyes.
Lily opened her eyes and to her shock the couple was still there dancing. She shook her head. "Maaya and Black are dancing together and they look like they're having fun…" she said in shock.
James's grin grew wider. "That's not all," he said moving over a bit. "Evans, look over here." He pointed to where Jeanne and Remus were dancing.
"Potter," Lily said at a loss for words. "Why are they dancing together? Remus doesn't like Jeanne and Jeanne doesn't like Remus as far as I know. They're just acquaintances."
"Well, you're right. They're just acquaintances. Moony looked like he could use a bit of fun so I got Jeanne to dance with him," the boy said as he started to sway on his feet. "They wouldn't dance unless Sirius and Maaya would, so we worked it out and they're all dancing."
Lily shook her head and turned to stare at the creature on James's head as he snapped a few pictures. "Pookian?" she asked. Lily had learned his name earlier from Maaya. "Why do you have Maaya's camera?"
"Pookie! He took it from her when Maaya went to go and dancie!" Pookian exclaimed happily.
Lily smiled. "I want that camera later," she said as Pookian nodded. Maybe she would be able to get some blackmail off of this.
The song soon stopped and Remus, Sirius, Maaya and Jeanne all walked over to James, Lily and Pookian. "Hello Lily," Jeanne said, greeting her friend.
"Hey Lily," Maaya said with a smile.
Remus and Sirius soon greeted her also.
"So," Lily said with a smile. "What are you guys doing?"
"Nothing," Maaya replied with a smile. "Nothing really."
Lily just shook her head. "Well, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
Maaya and Jeanne broke out into laughter and Lily just sighed.
The Adventures of the Fellowship Through Time
Sakura sat down in a chair slowly. The whole hall seemed to be spinning and she just needed to sit down. She put a hand to her head in an attempt to stop the spinning and she figured that it would go away I due time.
Syaoran had run off to get some more punch and he had told Sakura to please take a seat. Maybe the music was affecting her right now. Sakura knew that he was trying to be nice to her and he was doing a great job.
The girl smiled as she looked out the window. The spinning had stopped for now and the princess of Clow smiled as Syaoran handed her a glass of the punch. "Thank you," she said gratefully.
"Sakura-chan," Syaoran said, looking over at the girl. "Are you alright with being here? I mean, are you getting along fine and are you having fun."
"I'm fine Syoaran-kun!" she said with a smile. "Honestly," I'm fine." The girl looked at her punch and stood up with a soft sigh. "Can we go outside for a bit?"
"Of course," Syoaran said with a smile. He got up and the two teens walked out of the Great Hall and went outside. It was a quiet night and there were stars out. A breeze blew Sakura's hair around. The trees of the Forbidden Forest rustled and some crickets chirping could be heard.
"It's…so peaceful here. I sometimes wonder what world we'll end up in next." The girl smiled as a bird flew down. She put out her hand and allowed the bird to land. "And I'm really grateful for everything that you're doing for me. I'm just wondering why you're doing this for me? I feel like I've known you for a long time, but I don't know the connection."
Syoaran just smiled and looked up at the moon. It was glowing so brilliantly against the darkness of the night. The stars seemed so dull compared to the moon. A cloud passed by, creating a shadow as it passed the moon. "We're all traveling to get your memories back and I hope that we find them all soon," the boy said with a sad smile. "Don't worry about that stuff right now. I just want you to relax and have fun. There's a party going on inside and we should go back in soon."
Sakura nodded and just stared at the glistening lake. The two sat quietly for a while longer.
The Adventures of the Fellowship Through Time
"Hey Maaya," Jeanne said looking over at the girl. Maaya and Jeanne were just wandering around the hall, watching as the couples danced together. It was interesting to see how they were acting.
"Hmm?" Maaya asked looking over at Jeanne. Pookian III crawled onto Maaya's shoulder.
"Look over there," the other girl replied pointing to the closest couple.
Maaya's jaw dropped when she saw what Jeanne was pointing at. Minerva McGonagall and Severus Snape were dancing together. Maaya turned just in time to see Jeanne take out Maaya's camera and snapped a picture. The girl got closer and started to take some more pictures.
Severus and McGonagall didn't notice the flashes as they keep on dancing. "You, you didn't take a picture, did you?" the girl asked in shock.
Jeanne smiled slyly and held the camera up. "Of course I did. And I got more than one picture."
Maaya's shocked expression soon changed to one that was pure joy. She tackled her friend and grabbed the camera with a triumphant smile. Ha! They're mine now!" The girl looked at the camera in her hand. "Hey! This is mine!"
Jeanne just smiled and said nothing as Pookian III jumped onto her shoulder. "Squee!" he exclaimed happily. The little creature pointed straight ahead. "Onwards!" he chimed.
Maaya and Jeanne looked at each other and started laughing as they moved in the direction pointed.
The Adventures of the Fellowship Through Time
"Kuro-tan," Fai said with a goofy grin as he walked over to Kurogane. "How was your evening?" The blonde slung his shoulder around Kurogane's neck.
"It was fine until someone started bothering me," was the reply as Kurogane shook Fai's arm off.
"That's nice," Fai commented. "Doing anything worthwhile?"
"Not at the moment."
"Wanna dance?"
"No."
"C'mon Kuro-rin! You know you wanna."
"You're out of your mind."
Fai stopped to think about this for a moment. "You might be right," he said.
Kurogane just shook his head. A few minutes passed by before Fai started talking once again. "Sure you don't wanna dance?"
"Yes, I'm sure," was the immediate response.
Fai sighed and spun around. He looked back at Kurogane once more. "Are you absolutely positively sure that you won't dance with me?"
Before Kurgoane had the chance to reply, Fai looked like he had lost his balance and the mage started to fall towards him. Pookian whistled as he looked around innocently. Kurogane caught the Ravenclaw just as the flash of a camera went off. Blushing, Kurogane looked down at Fai.
"Thanks Kuro-pon," Fai said with a smile. He quickly got off of Kurogane and he looked down at Pookian. Grinning, he picked the small version of his friend. "You are the cause of all of this," he said to the creature.
Kurogane was glaring at the person who had taken the picture. Even though the girl had stuffed her camera back into her pocket, he had caught her with the camera a few seconds ago.
"Maaya, what in the hell do you think you're doing?" Kurogane just about growled. He was mad.
"Nothing, nothing, I'm not even here you know. I'm just a figment of your imagination," Maaya stated proudly. She then grabbed Jeanne's hand and grabbed Pookian before she took off. "We're getting out of here before Kurogane gets mad!"
The Adventure of the fellowship Through Time
Remus sat on an empty bench lined up against the wall. The boy sighed as he started to read. After finishing a few pages, the boy looked up and saw a bright light coming from the other side of the school. Without a second thought, Remus jumped up and started to run towards the light.
The light became brighter as the boy approached it. He put a hand in front of his face and made his way forward. The yellow shining light was becoming brighter and brighter with each step and Remus blinked. In the center of the pool of light there was a small shape. It looked like a feather, a big feather. Remus put a hand out to try to reach it, but instead he ended up on the floor.
"Ow!" A voice stated. Remus looked over in the direction the sound came from and he saw Jeanne. The light had now disappeared and the room was back to normal.
"Watch where you're going buddy!" someone else exclaimed. Remus recognized the speaker as Maaya.
"Is everyone alright?" came a third female voice. That was definitely Lily.
"Yeah," a gruff voice responded. It was Kurogane.
"That's good," Remus commented.
"Wait, what just happened?" Jeanne asked, looking around at the others.
"I don't know," Remus replied. "I was sitting in the Great Hall reading my book when I saw the light and I came to check it out. I thought I saw a feather or something in the middle of the light though…"
Maaya looked at him. "Yeah, I saw that too. As for why I'm here, I was running away from Kurogane, dragging Jeanne along with me. I took a picture that he didn't like."
When Kurogane glared at her, Maaya jumped behind Lily. The red head just shook her head. "I was on my way to the Gryffindor Common Room to get something I forgot." The girl paused for a second. "I was on the stairs when I saw the light, so I wandered what happened and came down here."
Remus nodded and sighed. "What are we going to do now?" he asked.
"We should go and tell Professor Dumbledore about this," Lily commented.
"No!" Maaya exclaimed jumping up from her position on the floor. "We can't! If we tell Dumbledore, then we'll have to be escorted around the school and we would have earlier bedtimes and we wouldn't have a lot of privacy. Besides, Dumbledore's drunk right now."
"Yeah," Jeanne added. "We don't want to get the Professors involved in this yet."
"No one got hurt," Kurogane said.
Lily sighed and shook her head knowing that she would loose the battle. "Fine."
Maaya let out a cheer.
"But," Lily continued, pausing for Maaya to finish booing. "I am not taking any responsibility for anything that may happen."
"Fine," Jeanne said with a nod.
"We should get back to the ball," Remus said, looking at a clock on the wall. "Someone's bound to have noticed we've been gone."
"So?" Maaya asked, "So they'll wonder where we went. Though, who would wonder where we went?"
"James might wonder where Li-" Jeanne was cut off when Maaya put a hand over her mouth.
"James might be looking for Remus to pester him some more," Maaya supplied quickly.
Jeanne bit Maaya. "Youch!" Maaya exclaimed pulling her hand back and checking to make sure it was ok. "Hey! That hurt!"
Jeanne just glared at Maaya and coughed. "Fai might be looking for Kurogane."
Kurogane glared at Jeanne, a slight pink color to his cheeks.
Lily nodded. "We should be going back to the Great hall. The ball should end soon."
"Fine, fine," Maaya replied as she bent down to pick up her wand that had fallen to the floor in the collision earlier.
Jeanne sighed and looked over at Maaya. "You know, you really should try to keep your wand in a better place. It always falls from behind your ear."
Maaya just shrugged and put her wand back behind her ear. She turned to her left and realized they were by the Ravenclaw Common Room. Shaking her head, the girl turned back to the others with a huge smile on her face. "Well, we're off to the ball, right?"
Kurogane nodded and started to walk towards the Great Hall. They stopped in the next hall after seeing a student on the ground. Lily ran over to her and noticed that she was a part of the Ravenclaw house. Her name was Ami Blake, a fellow 5th year.
"Ami?" Lily asked. "You ok?"
The girl opened her eyes, but then fainted once again. "We need to get her to the Hospital Wing!" Jeanne exclaimed.
"Kurogane! Can you take her? You should be the strongest out of all of us," Maaya said.
Kurogane nodded and picked up the girl. He mumbled something under his breath, but other than that it was silent. After reaching the Hospital Wing, Kurogane set the girl down on a bed while Lily and Jeanne ran off to get the nurse.
Maaya sighed and plopped down in a chair by Ami's bed. "Tonight was supposed to be fun," the girl said blowing some hair out of her face. "It just went from good to worse."
Remus nodded but other than Maaya's ramblings, all was silent. Madame Pomfrey came hurrying in. She ushered everyone out of the room muttering something about missing the ball.
Maaya sighed as the door closed behind her. "I guess we go back to the ball now, right?"
The others nodded and they headed down to the Great Hall where they stayed well into the night just having a good time. The feather was still on their minds, but other than that nothing was said or done to show that they even saw the feather.
The Adventures of the Fellowship Through Time
The next morning came too soon for everyone who stayed up late last night. Maaya slid down the railing and hopped off at the bottom of the stairs. She made her way over to a chair and plopped down with a yawn.
"Hey Jeanne," Maaya said lazily as her friend came down the stairs. "Have a good night's rest?"
"Yeah," Jeanne said with a smile. "You?"
"I only got about 2 hours of sleep." Maaya stood up. No one else was up yet. "I'm going back to bed. Wake me up in 15 minutes."
"Yeah, sure," Jeanne replied with a wave. Maaya went up the stairs and fell asleep as soon as she lay on her bed.
Fourteen minutes later, Jeanne climbed the stairs to the girls' dorm. She stopped and smiled, walking into her dorm. Going to Maaya's bed, Jeanne summoned a huge bucket of ice water.
"Time to get up!" Jeanne said happily as she dumped the water on an already dressed, sleeping Maaya.
Maaya was up and out of bed in an instant. She turned and saw Jeanne run out the door. "Jeanne!" Maaya exclaimed as she grabbed her wand and chased after her friend.
Jeanne didn't seem to hear her. She was looking at the camera in her hands as she raced out of the Gryffindor Common Room and into the corridor.
"Jeanne!" Maaya ran out of the common room after her friend. She looked to see Jeanne on a moving staircase. "No! Get back here!" The girl ran and jumped, trying to get onto the currently moving staircase.
Jeanne's eyes widened as Maaya jumped trying to get onto the staircase. That girl was crazy! Maaya missed the staircase and fell down two floors, landing with a sickening cracking noise. Though it looked like the girl seemed to slow down a bit before she reached the floor.
"Maaya!" Jeanne said running to her friend. Maaya didn't move as red liquid started pooling around her arm.
Jeanne went over to her friend and picked her up. Maaya's arm fell to the floor. Jeanne screamed as Maaya fell out of her arms with a thump. "Ow!" Maaya exclaimed as she hit the floor.
The black haired girl grabbed her arm and stood up. "It's fake," she said. "Not real. Plastic. Doesn't move."
Jeanne stared at her. It was a good thing that it was early and no one was really up yet. Maaya could have gotten in a lot of trouble for that stunt if someone was awake to catch that.
With a flick of her wrist and a swish of her wand, and some mumbled words, the red liquid was back in its container and in Maaya's hand. "That was for waking me up with the water," the girl said as she started back up the stairs.
Jeanne glared at the black haired girl as she followed her. "That wasn't very nice," she commented.
"Course it wasn't. Dumping ice water on me wasn't nice either."
"But it's one of the only ways to get you up."
"So? You could have dome something else."
"Like setting your bed on fire?"
"No! My bed isn't something that you can set on fire!"
"You can technically set the bed on fire."
"Well! Yes, you can… But that's not the point! I'm in that bed and I don't wanna be killed!"
"You wouldn't be killed. We could put the flames out before you could get burnt."
"Jeanne! You are not setting my bed on fire no matter what!"
"Fine, fine. Sorry I said anything."
Maaya almost walked into the Fat Lady. Their conversation had gone on so long they were already back at Gryffindor Tower. "Bezoar," Maaya said and the Fat Lady swung open, letting the two girls in.
"We're back!" Maaya said happily, hoping more people would be up. Remus, Lily, James, Sirius, Andrew, Amber, and a 2nd year named Phillip looked up at them. James and Sirius were still half asleep and yawning. Remus and Lily had been reading. Andrew and Amber were playing chess and Phillip was watching them.
Jeanne smiled and looked at Maaya. Maaya nodded and dragged Lily off to a corner of the room.
"We need to get Lupin drunk," Jeanne said.
"Yeah. I have a small bottle of sake in my trunk," Maaya commented.
"Guys," Lily said. "This isn't a good idea. What if something happens?"
"Remus was supposed to get drunk last night," Maaya said seriously. "He didn't drink anything last night and he was supposed to! I mean, we were supposed to get people drunk and it's still the break. Christmas is coming up in about three days and we have a Quidditch match right after New Years. This is our only chance to get him drunk."
Jeanne nodded. "Nothing serious is going to happen to Lupin anyway. He's fine. It looks like most people don't have hangovers."
Lily just shook her head. "It's your fault."
"Lily, thanks!" After saying that, Maaya raced up the stairs and came back down within seconds.
"That was fast," Jeanne commented. Maaya grinned.
"I've always wanted to zoom up the stairs and back down again at super fast speed."
"Well, you're wish was granted," Lily said.
"Now! We need to get our plan to work!" Jeanne said happily.
Remus, Sirius, Amber, Phillip, and James were staring at the three girls huddled up in the corner. Something was going on, but no one could figure out what was going to happen.
"Ok, so that's how we are going to do it. Everyone know what to do?" Maaya asked.
"Yeah," Jeanne said.
"Who gave Jeanne a lot of sugar?" Maaya asked.
"Not me," Lily said.
Jeanne ignored the question. "Operation Remus Lupin is a go," Jeanne said as she moved over towards Remus.
Maaya smirked as she opened up the bottle of sake and she casually sat down in-between Sirius and Remus "Hello guys," she said cheerfully holding the sake bottle out in front of her.
Jeanne inched closer until she was next to Remus. With one swift motion, Jeanne grabbed Remus's mouth and held it open while Maaya grabbed her sake and turned it upside down.
The liquid was poured down Remus's throat before he could do anything. There was a flashy and Lily was standing there with Maaya's camera in her hand. "This thing comes in handy," the red head said.
"Of course it does," Maaya replied as she closed the bottle of sake up. "Why do you think I carry it around?"
"Never really thought about that," Lily replied as Jeanne let go of Remus's mouth.
"Well," Maaya said with a smile as she started up the stairs to put her sake back, "now you know."
Maaya disappeared up the steps with out another word. Lily put the camera away and Remus looked like he was ready to murder someone.
"Uh oh…" Jeanne muttered as she looked around. The girl hid behind James. The whole time her eyes were planted on Remus. "Don't hurt me…"
Maaya came hopping down the stairs happily after Jeanne's comment. She sat down across from Sirius, James and Jeanne, humming a happy tune. Her eyes were closed and she wasn't paying attention to Jeanne's pleads or cries of help.
Amber and Andrew had stopped their chess match to stare at the scene before them. It was pretty funny to watch this happening though.
"Hey look!" Phillip exclaimed pointing out the window. "It's snowing!" Maaya opened her eyes and everyone else rushed towards the windows.
"It is!" James exclaimed happily. Everyone rushed up to their dorms and woke the other students up.
