"This is all very mysterious isn't it?" I asked as we were doing our homework.

I wish Danny would stop leaving so much out of his. It's making it dreadfully hard to copy.

Edith looked thoughtful while Nat crossed out a word that she'd spelled wrong for about the fiftieth time. Jeez, it's not that hard to copy something, love.

"You mean they way Kim's hair is a different colour every day?" Edith asked.

I looked over to Kim, who was currently flirting with some seventh year, then shook my head.

"No, a different mystery. And, anyway, don't be ridiculous. It's not that her hair is changing colour, you're just confused be cause it's impossible to tell what colour it is in the first place. I mean, is that orange, or strawberry blonde, or brown, or what?"

I rested my chin in my hand. It was all rather confusing.

"All of them, I think," Edith replied, staring at Kim. She shook her head then turned to me and asked, "So what mystery is it you speak of?"

As if she didn't know.

Really!

"Edith," I said, "if you're not careful you'll end up as clueless as Nat is."

"Huh? What was that?" Nat asked, looking up upon hearing you're name.

I said, "Nothing, love. Just go back to your work."

But, of course, there was no stopping her now she was interested.

"No, what were you saying?"

"Why has James Potter suddenly decided we're worthy of his presence?"

Edith shrugged, "Maybe we're the victims intended for his next prank. He could be doing some research for it or something."

I blinked, then my eyes widened in realisation. Why hadn't I thought of that? It was all so obvious now.

"Why, that sneaky little plant pot!" I said.

Edith nodded. "Indeed, Lily. Indeed."

Our plan is this: we will simply have to figure out what the prank is and somehow prevent it.

Don't ask how. We never really spend too much time on our plans. It takes too much effort. Effort that could be used on playing hangman or something equally as entertaining.

Like I spy.

Although that's not quite as good as hangman.

But, then, what is?

But, getting back to the subject at hand, for our plan to work we have to make the effort to put it into action.

Which involves using our brains.

Ugh! Effort is a real pain in the bum.

I think I'm in love.

Forget fitness, I think we have a new stalkee. One who resides within the walls of Hogwarts.

And to think, I didn't even know he existed before dinner today.

We were discussing our plan when I saw him. The most gorgeous seventh year Ravenclaw ever.

I couldn't believe I'd never seen him before. I mean, how do you miss someone who looks like that. Someone with that longish blond hair, that perfect face, and the totally buff body you could so tell he had underneath that shirt.

"His name's Josh Walker," Edith said when I pointed him out.

My head snapped round to face her. "How do you know?"

Edith gave me a sympathetic look. "He's my sister's boyfriend."

I stared at him. "He's not."

"I'm afraid he is."

I shook my head slowly. "That is so typical."

Edith and Nat nodded.

I thought about the predicament for a while then said, "Well never mind. He's sure to come to his senses soon."

"Yeah," Edith said, "After a year."

Ugh! She is insufferable. She just had to go and ruin my fantasy didn't she?

No matter. A silly thing like him having a girlfriend can't stop me from fantasising, can it?

Mmm… Josh…

History of magic

Life is so unfair!!!!!

The particular aspect of life I'm talking about is, of course, having Professor McGonagall for a transfiguration teacher.

All I did was fall of my chair!!

It was quite funny actually. Painful, but funny.

You see, I was swinging on my chair –yes, the kind of swinging you get warned about in infant school- and then I just fell backwards.

Needless to say, the whole class saw.

There was laughter.

Lots of laughter.

I was joining in actually.

Only, after McGonagall had finished giving me a lecture, we (me, Edith and Nat) couldn't stop giggling. I couldn't help it; Edith kept doing impressions of my face when I fell (kind of annoying at first but in the end I had to laugh)

McGonagall then said she'd had enough of our 'silly nonsense' so she split us up!!!!

And I bet you can guess whom I ended up next to.

Dear old Jamiekins of course!

Who I doubted would be at all happy about Sirius having to move.

But if he was annoyed he didn't show it. He just smirked while the rest of the class laughed at me.

Wow. I am such a hoot!!

Ugh! This is so unfair.

He was actually quite nice though. James, I mean.

Like, he helped me when I was stuck on my work. And, unlike the rest of the lads in this school; he actually treated me like a real human being.

It makes a nice change.

I wonder how long it will last.

A/N: I don't think this chapter was as good as the first too but it will get better. I just don't want to rush the plot that's all. Anyway, I don't know when I'll get a chance to write the next chapter. I'm busy all next week but I'll be as quick as I can.

Thank you to my reviewers…

Sannie: Was that soon enough? Thanks for the review.

sjpgurl13: Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Dress-without-sleeves: Thank you. I'm trying my best.

Aiki-Tenshi: I know. I'm working on the comma thing. I just don't seem to notice where I miss them when I proof read. My friend said she'd beta my stories but I think she might be busy today and this is the only chance I'll have to post in a while. And about the James thing, it was only the first chapter ok? He's here now.

RebelWriter: Your reviews are always so encouraging, you know. I love getting them. Thanks so much!

Milka-Weasley: Will do.Thanks for reviewing again.

My Divinest: I'm trying. It's just that sometimes it comes to me naturally but sometimes I have to think about it. Which is hard. I'm trying to remember funny stuff that's happened to me and put that in somehow. So just bare with me.

CountessMel: Cool. Although I do change the way I speak quite often. Depends on what mood I'm in…

Alex: lol. It's this big joke in my French class to just put 'le' in front of an English word if you don't know the French word for it. Anyway, I'm glad you like it.

Potterpunkchick: Was the French actually right? I wasn't sure. I think that was a quick update though. Thanks for the review.
