She creaked open the door. All four boys were snoring. Remus was lying on his stomach with his bed covers knocked on the floor. Sirius, whose bed was closest to the door, had somehow twisted himself around so that his head was at the bottom and his feet were at the top.

Lucy shook her head silently. Despite being friends with them, she never completely understood how boys minds worked. James and Peter's beds were beside the window. They, at least, were sleeping on their backs.

She put her hands on her hips and stood in the middle of the room. She cleared her throat and prepared to wake them.

"Aaaaaaaaaagh!"

Her blood-curdling scream's effect was immediate.

James sat bolt upright on his bed. "Don't worry, I'll save you!" he yelled-and promptly banged his head on one of the posts.

Remus fell out of his bed and joined his duvet on the floor.

Sirius grabbed his wand off of his bedside table. "'s goin' on?" he moaned blearily.

Peter's reaction, however, was slightly different. He remained perfectly still, exactly as he had been before Lucy's shriek.

As the three boys slowly realised that Lucy had screamed they relaxed. "What did you do that for?" James glared at Lucy while rubbing his head.

"Well, I figured that this would be the most annoying way to wake you. Why hasn't Wormy woken?"

"He's taken to wearing earplugs to sleep. Apparently, James snores very loudly. Can't say I've noticed myself," Remus mumbled from his position on the floor.

"Oh. Well I'll leave you the pleasure of waking him. Now hurry up and get changed! I'll be in the common room." Lucy had been friends with the boys for seven years, but was still slightly awkward with the whole half naked boys scenario. She left them to change in private.

She curled up on her favourite chair beside the fireplace and started reading a book that had been left on the table "Magical Creatures of Britain and Ireland."

Engrossed in the vivid description of a fire-breathing Shih Tzu, she didn't notice the creamy barn owl tapping on the window.

"Isn't that Lyra at the window?" Peter's voice interrupted her thoughts. Turning, Lucy looked out. "Oh, yeah it is." Quickly, she got up and let her owl in. She had gotten Lyra from her parents before coming to Hogwarts.

She read the letter attached to her owl's leg. "It's from Tina. She said to say hi to all of you." Her older sister, Tina, was a muggle but she still loved to write to Lucy using owl post. The two girls were close because there was only four years between them.

"I'll reply later." Lyra nipped her finger affectionately and flew out the window.

"Lets go for breakfast, I'm starving," Remus suggested. They all agreed and made their way to the Great Hall.

"So what's your plans for today?" Wormtail asked in between bites of toast.

"How about a trip to Hogsmeade?" Sirius suggested through a mouthful of Wizarding Cheerios.

"Yeah! I'm in the mood for a butterbeer," Lucy agreed. James shook his head. "Sorry guys. I have to go to a meeting with Lily."

"Well," Peter suddenly went red, "I have a date!"

"Really? Who with?"

Lucy stayed quiet, she tried not to get involved in their love lives.

"Stephanie Gleeson. You know her, she's in Hufflepuff," Wormtail said, his thin face proud. Stephanie was a rather plain girl who sat beside Lucy in Care of Magical Creatures. She was nice though, so Wormtail had done well for himself.

"She's not exactly a stunner is she? You could do better, mate." Sirius wrinkled his nose.

Lucy bit her lip to stop her anger from spilling out. Sirius wouldn't listen to her anyway.

"God, you're so shallow Padfoot! It's not all about looks, you know. Anyway, I think she's cute." With that he got up from the table, and walked away. "Oops, he's touchy today." Sirius remarked.

A silence enveloped the group and they finished their breakfasts.

"Well, James is out, Peter's out, you up for a trip to Hogsmeade?" Lucy questioned Remus. He shook his head. "Full moon's coming up, I need to rest."

"Looks like it's just you and me so Lucy!" Sirius informed her.

"Great," Lucy muttered sarcastically, but her grin showed that she was joking.

They all walked to the Entrance Hall together, where James and Remus left them. Lucy and Sirius made their way to the one eyed witch statue on the third floor.

It wasn't long until they'd reached Honeydukes cellar.
