Chapter 2: Fool me once shame on you. Fool my twice shame on me.

He heard voices as he woke up and decided not to open his eyes just yet.

"You know if the Quidditch wasn't interesting that sure would have made up for it." James heard a girl's voice state.

"Jackie! That's mean, I mean he fainted!" Another girl's voice reprimanded her friend.

James slowly opened his eyes to see Remus, Sirius, and Peter all staring at me.

"Thank God you're awake!" Sirius hugged him friend.

James pulled back a bit and looked over Sirius's shoulder confused. Lily, Miley and Jackie were standing by his bed heatedly talking about something.

James looked confusedly over at his friends.

"They have been like that for the past twenty minutes." Remus stated as if reading his friend's mind.

"Well it isn't my fault that he couldn't handle the information." The Marauders watched as Lily's voice got considerably louder and she threw her hands up in aggravation.

"Lily, we know that it isn't your fault and it was really funny to watch him faint….oh they are watching us. We need to stop talking now." Miley replied to her friends.

The three girls turned around and started at the Marauders.

"Good Morning Sunshine." Jackie rolled her eyes at James.

James smiled broadly, "Evans! I knew you cared for me!" James then turned to his friends, "See I told you that she cared! You never believed me but she is here making sure that I am alright after fainting. I mean who would do that if they didn't care. Audrey always did when we were together!" James gloated to his friends.

Lily raised her right eye brow, "Potter, sorry to ruin your fantasies but I am here because I was talking to you when you fainted and the professors made me come here."

James smile faltered, "But you stayed! That has to mean something."

"Yes it means that Pomfrey wouldn't let me leave for I had a few nasty cuts from the game today."

James looked to his fellow Marauders as if to confirm what she said, even though he knew that she was telling the truth.

"Sorry Prongs she is telling the truth. She was healed about ten minutes ago then she, Jackie and Miley started a conversation about something or other until Madam Pomfrey is positive that her cuts are fully healed."

As if she knew they were talking about her Madam Pomfrey walked out. "Alright Miss Evans lift up your shirt and we will check those cuts." She didn't look up.

"Madam may we please do this somewhere less open, I would rather not lift up my shirt around Mr. Potter, Mr. Black, Mr. Lupin and Mr. Pettigrew." Lily replied

"Oh of course dear!" Lily and Madam Pomfrey walked behind a curtain and James frowned a bit.

"Well Prongs if it makes you feel better she has a very nice looking back." Peter told James.

Sirius nudged Peter, "Wormtail we were not supposed to let him know that she had lifted her shirt up before."

"WHAT! YOU SAW HER BACK!" James was frustrated.

Lily then walked out from behind the curtain, "Oh my Potter, a guy saw my back how horrible." She replied sarcastically.

"But why could they before and not now?" James was now confused.

"They don't all have random needs to declare their undying love for me at random hours of the day. I most certainly didn't appreciate the 3 a.m. serenade."

The Matron the decided to join the group, "Lily darling you are free to go, but please next time try not to get hurt as much." The Matron smiled at Lily.

This amazed the Marauders. They had been in the Hospital Wing a lot and they were never smiled at or called darling.

"Of course Madam, Also Mr. Potter has awakened you should probably tend to him instead of talking to me." Lily returned the Matron's smile.

"Dear you are quite correct. I will talk to you again Lily." The Madam Pomfrey walked over to James and started performing spells to check him over.

----------------------------------------

As the Marauders walked out of the Hospital Wing, they talked about all that they had found out. "…and apparently they are all chummy on the field with Slytherins then off the field they hate each other. It is so weird and how could a Slytherin be nice? Those girls are so frustrating!" James finished telling them what he heard.

"I still find it horrible that they didn't invite us, the Marauders, to play Quidditch with them. Don't they know that we are the best Quidditch players around?"

"Don't flatter yourself Black." A voice spoke from behind them.

The Marauders turned around to see a girl with a frown on her face.

"KELLY!" Sirius smiled.

"That's not my name."

"Crystal?" Sirius tried again.

"No."

"Katie?" The girl shook her head.

"Katherine?"

"No."

"KC?"

"Lara." The girl sighed.

"No, I'm positive that your name starts with a k. Um Kami?"

"Lara."

"Kali?"

"Lara"

"Kathy?"

"No."

"Keri?

"No."

"Chelsea?"

"No."

"Kelsey?"

"NO."

"Alright I give up, what is your name!"

"My name is Lara!" The girl was now heavily glaring at Sirius.

"Well I knew that."

"Black I was going to give you some information on the Quidditch Games but now I'm not so sure."

"WHY NOT!"

"Good Bye Black."

"No Lara please tell me!"

"I was going to say that the people who choose who gets to play are six girls. They decide if you are prejudice against other players and if you can't play they teach you."

"Who are they?"

"Let's just say they are in different houses."

With that Lara Michaels disappeared and that Marauders had no clue where she went.

James turned to his friends, "I bet you we can figure out who they are! First step talk to Deborn she is a gossip monger so she will of course know."

The Marauders ran down the halls towards the Gryffindor Common Room. As they ran in they slid towards the fireplaces where Jackie, Miley and Lily were.

"DEBORN!"

Jackie turned around and glared at the Marauders, "What do you lot want?"

The Marauders slowed down and fell into the chairs. "Deborn you know a lot about what happens here at Hogwarts right?" James asked quickly.

"Sure, why do you want to know?"

"Well you see we have this mystery that we were hoping that you could help us with." James answered.

"And this Mystery would be?" Lily looked at the Marauders.

"Unimportant. Deborn what can you tell us about the six girls who choose players for your weekend games?"

"Nothing."

"What do you mean nothing? You know everything that goes on at this school!" Sirius jumped up from his seat.

"Well they have changed since we were chosen so I can't say. I can tell you that Abby used to be one." Jackie glared at the boys.

"Pennington? I remember her! So if we get in contact with her we will be able to find out who they are?" James grinned.

"May be, but she probably won't tell you. It is a major secret who the six are."

"Right thanks Deborn."

--------------------------------------------

"Someone is on to us girls." Six girls met in a darkened room hidden from the eyes of most Hogwarts students.

"How do you know?" Snapped another.

"I was in the Common Room, when I heard the Marauders questioning Deborn. She told them to go talk to Abby who used to be one of us."

"So all we need to do is get in contact with her first and stop them in their tracts they can not know anything about us." Another voice spoke.

"Right, I'll contact her before they do." The first voice spoke.

All six girls pulled out a small key and touched the tips as they repeated the same lines they always did. That they learned when they joined this group, "May our secret stay untold, and we always be unknown, let us live on forever."

Quietly each girl left the room making sure they were unnoticed.

----------------------------------------------

The girls walked into the Common Room that night laughing.

"I bet a galleon if I kissed him on the cheek he would trip over something a few minutes after." Lily smiled.

"Now Lily, have faith in the boy. At least bet two galleons." Miley mock scolded Lily.

This caused the girls to laugh even harder. The Marauders looked over at the laughing girls and decided that they wanted to know what was up forgetting the letter they were writing to Abby.

"Ladies what is so particularly funny this evening?" James asked well walking up to the girls.

"Besides how your face looks?" Lily giggled.

"What's wrong with my face?" James asked slightly panicked.

"What isn't wrong with your face?" Lily retorted.

James frowned at Lily as Sirius fell off his chair laughing.

"So Potter is there a reason for you coming over here or did you just have an urgent feeling to act ridiculous in front of us for our entertainment?" Lily grinned.

"Why yes I wanted to know why was so funny that you brought out your beautiful smile and laughed your wonderful laughed." James winked at Lily.

"Potter get over yourself." She pushed him off his chair so he fell on the ground.

James looked astounded that he was pushed off his chair. The only people who pushed him off his chair were the Marauders but now Lily had as well. A gigantic smile came across him face.

"YOU TOUCHED ME!" He screamed with joy.

"Oh Merlin, Potter please shut your mouth before I have to help you," Lily rolled her eyes.

"I would love for you to help me close my mouth." James raised his eyebrows at Lily.

"Fine. Silencio!" Lily smirked as James realized what happened.

James frowned at Lily who was attempting to look innocent.

"Night Potter." Lily kissed James on the cheek pushed him towards his friends and walked out of the Gryffindor Common Room all the way to the Head Dorms.

Five minutes later her friends came in laughing hysterically, "Lily you should have seen him. HE tripped over the couch, two chairs, a first year and a fifth year, it was beautiful."

"That means pay up girls." Lily smiled as Jackie and Miley each handed her two galleons.

"You know this means that he isn't going to leave you alone for a while." Miley's face turned serious.

"Yeah I know, but I also know that I can scare Potter away from asking me out." Lily nodded at her friend.

"Too True!" Jackie leapt onto the couch.

Later that night the three girls made their way up to Lily's room where they all fell asleep with out changing.

The next morning the girls were happily sitting at the Gryffindor table when the Marauders came in a sat down next to them.

"Good Morning Ladies." Sirius smiled at them.

"What is good about a Morning that you're around?" Miley didn't even look up from her food.

"Ouch that hurt Miley."

"It was supposed to Black."

The girls went back to eating pretending that the Marauders weren't there. In the middle of breakfast the owls came in. The Marauders looked and saw that the girls had each gotten at least one owl when Lily got two. They were kind of sad to see that they got none.

"Alyssa, April I think you would be glad to know that Alex had written to us." Miley smiled.

"Miley, why do you call us by our middle names randomly?" Jackie hit her head on the table.

"Cause then no one will know who I am talking to."

"But Amelia everyone knows our middle names." Jackie smirked at Miley.

"Oh right, I forgot." Miley frowned.

"What did Alex have to say?" Lily ignored her best friends' conversation.

"Oh the normal Parents are driving him crazy about marrying someone. He misses us a ton and can't wait for winter break so we can come and see him."

The girls nodded and Lily went back to reading her mail.

"So Lily Bean who is the letter from." James asked noticing how intently Lily was reading.

"It's a pity that someone took the spell off you Potter I was getting used to not having to hear your voice."

"You know that you love my voice."

"No I really don't."

"So who is the letter from?"

"My husband." Lily replied then went back to reading her letter. Ignoring the fact that James looked like he was going to kill someone very soon, either that or faint.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUR HUSBAND? LILY ALYSSA EVANS YOU ANSWER ME RIGHT THIS INSTANT! WHEN WERE YOU MARRIED?" James started shouting because he was so shocked.

The entire Great Hall turned to look at the pair. Lily decided then it would be a good time to look up.

"What are you on about Potter?" Lily asked in a confused voice.

"You you just said that letter was from your husband."

"Potter I would never have guessed you to a person who would take a joke seriously."

Everyone in the Great Hall held their breath.

"A joke? It was a joke?" James asked confused.

"Yes, I don't have a husband Potter. I might be engaged but I don't have a husband. At least yet I don't."

"YOU'RE ENGAGED!"

"Wow Potter you really are gullible. I got you twice with in five minutes; I don't think you deserve to be a Marauder or a prankster anymore if you can't tell a joke from the truth." Lily went back to eating her breakfast.

James looked flabbergasted.

Sirius looked like he was about to die from trying not to laugh.

Remus looked upset at Sirius's behavior.

Peter looked confused.

Lily looked bored.

Miley looked like a hyena from all the laughing she was doing.

Jackie looked like she was planning a way to push either Miley or Sirius off the bench.

Dumbledore looked amused.

McGonagall looked upset.

And the rest of the occupants of the Great Hall looked amazed.
