A/N: I'm sorry it took me so long to get this up. I've been working on my GH story, which I might get rid of and make up a new one. I'm sorry for the lack of stuff happening in the last chapter.
Disclaimer: don't own anything but plot and Victoria, Amelia, Vanessa, Brianna, Jen, and Danni.
Chapter 11
It was Tuesday night. Victoria and Remus were in the common room. There were 3 first graders in the corner and some fifth years, but that was it. Lily and Brianna were in the common room. James was at Quidditch practice. Amelia and Sirius were M.I.A. Peter was at the library.
Victoria and Remus were sitting on the couch and just talking. And they were cuddling. Victoria had her head on Remus's chest. "Have you noticed," Victoria asked ", how odd Lily's been lately?"
"I have," Remus responded ". What's up with her?"
"I shouldn't tell you." He looked at her and kissed her sweetly.
"Now will you tell me?" he asked in a cute voice. Victoria pouted.
"Why should I tell you?" she asked smugly.
"Because you brought it up." Dammit, I hate it when he has a point, thought Victoria.
"Fine," she said, appeasing him ", but you have to promise to not tell James."
"What does James have to do with this?" Remus asked stupidly.
"I love it when you're clueless." She said kissing him. "Alright. Lily thought James was going to ask her out because she hadn't seen Vanessa all day and he wanted to ask her something. She got her hopes up but we told her to be careful. Needless to say he didn't ask her out and now she feels like a jerk."
"But she hates James," Remus said, still clueless. Victoria just raised her eyebrows. "Okay," he said ", She pretended to hate James but now she's in love with him. But he's been acting weird lately too." Victoria looked at Remus. "Explain," she demanded of him.
"He hasn't snogged Vanessa at ALL. He TOTALLY ignores her, as opposed to before when he noticed her when Lily was around. He doesn't talk that much."
"I don't know what's up with them," Victoria said sighing. "I'm glad our relationship isn't so complicated." With that, she kissed him again.
"Why do we care so much?" Remus cared ", About them I mean. They're our best friends but, do we have to talk about them all the time?"
"Well," Victoria said "This fan fiction is about them!"
"What?" Remus said, clueless once again.
"Never mind," said Victoria "Let's make out!" So they did for a few minutes. Then Amelia burst through the portrait hole hysterically crying. Sirius followed through after her and the new French girl was behind him.
"French lessons my ass!" Amelia was screaming ", You mean French Kissing lessons!" For one time in his life, Sirius was speechless. "I thought you were serious about us." Thank God Sirius didn't respond with "But I am Sirius" for once, Victoria thought. Amelia stormed up the stairs to the dorm still crying. Victoria looked at Remus, who nodded. She ran upstairs to console her heartbroken friend.

Victoria, Lily, and Brianna gently squeezed the story out of the heartbroken Amelia in their dorm. She'd gone to the library to get a book and saw Sirius snogging the new French girl, Emily. He said Emily had been giving him French lessons. So tough Amelia felt like an ass because she'd trusted Sirius. She had thought he'd stay committed to her. But instead he'd been snogging this French girl ever since she'd shown up a couple of days ago. Amelia was still crying.
"Do you love him?" Brianna asked. "What?" Amelia said, startled by the question. "Do you love him?" Brianna asked again, sterner then before. Amelia paused to think about it. "No," she said finally, a little surprised by her own answer. "Then why do you care?" Brianna asked. Amelia thought. It wasn't like she liked him any more. It just felt like crap to be cheated on. She didn't care about him. She looked at Brianna with a new aura of self esteem. Brianna smiled. Amelia went into the bathroom and cleaned herself up. Victoria and Lily just stared at Brianna, trying to figure out how she did it.
"Not that I don't love you Bree," Victoria said ", But that wasn't like you. Normally it's Amelia who's putting us back together. You're usually the one who needs putting back together." Brianna thought about it.
"Obviously Amelia couldn't put herself back together," she said ", so I did. That's what friends do." Amelia came out of the bathroom. "Thanks Brianna, you're a real friend," she said.
Brianna stood up on the bed and sang.
Friends will be friends by Queen
Another red letter day,
So the pound has dropped and the children are creating,
The
other half ran away,
Taking all the cash and leaving you with the
lumber,
Got a pain in the chest,
Doctors on strike what you
need is a rest
It's not easy love, but you've got friends you
can trust,
Friends will be friends,
When you're in need of
love they give you care and attention,
Friends will be friends,
When you're through with life and all hope is lost,
Hold out
your hand cos friends will be friends right till the end
Now
it's a beautiful day,
The postman delivered a letter from your
lover,
Only a phone call away,
You tried to track him down
but somebody stole his number,
As a matter of fact,
You're
getting used to life without him in your way
It's so easy
now, cos you got friends you can trust,
Friends will be friends,
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention,
Friends will be friends,
When you're through with life and
all hope is lost,
Hold out your hand cos friends will be friends
(right till the end)
The song ended and the other girls gave her a standing ovation. Brianna bowed and jumped down.

It was Wednesday at dinner. The girls were on one side of the table and the marauders on the other. Victoria and Remus were chatting about Panic! At the Disco (A/N: Which is really a great band.) and how similar they are to Fall Out Boy (A/N: Which is another great band.). Amelia was talking to Peter about giving him a makeover. Brianna and Lily were making small talk with James. Sirius was with Emily. Amelia stayed composed and civil, which wad good. They were all eating and chatting when Dumbledore rose.
"I hope you do not mind if I make a short announcement," he said. He didn't have to wait for silence because everyone had stopped speaking when he rose. "This Friday we will have a dance here in the Great Hall. You can wear muggle attire as long as it is appropriate." For a minute lily thought she saw Dumbledore look at Vanessa, Jen, and Danni. He continued. "This dance is for 3rd years and up. 1st and 2nd years will be having parties in their respective common rooms. You do not need a date but they are not prohibited." In other words, thought Lily, you should get a date, but if you're a dead beat like me and can't get one you can still come, but expect to be ostracized by the rest of the school. "It will take place from 7PM to 12 PM. There will be no classes after lunch so everyone can get ready. Thank you."
He sat down and the Hall immediately started to buzz with talk of this dance. Lily looked at James, who was playing around with some meatloaf on his plate. Victoria looked at Remus who said ", Oh dearest Victoria, will you please go to the dance with me?" Victoria laughed. "Let me think about it." Remus slapped her playfully. "Alright, fine, I guess I'll go with you." They got up from the table and went to the common room together.
Amelia got 12 offers in 1 minute. She decided to go with brawn over brains and go with Ludo Bagman. Peter looked at Brianna. "Uhh, Brianna," he said. "Yes," she responded cheerfully. "Will go uhh, go to the, uhh, dance with me?" he asked. "Oh Peter that's so nice. But you know what would be even nicer? There is this girl in Hufflepuff named Elizabeth. You know Elizabeth, right? Well, she told me she had a huge crush on you." And this was all true. Peter ran over to Hufflepuff to ask Elizabeth, who said yes. It feels good to do good, thought Brianna.
A/N: Well, that's it for this chapter. Review please!
