A/N: Sorry for taking so long. Hope you like this chapter. I think there might only be two or three more chapters left.

Chapter Eleven

It was now Friday. People were talking none stop about the dance. The common room was really busy. People running around, trying to think of what to wear. Some waiting for their dresses and other things to come in the mail. Marie didn't seem to be having a single problem. She had sent her mother a letter and she had gotten her dress that day.

"I hope you like it," Marie said, sitting back on Emily's lap again," I told my mom that it had to be perfect."

Remus, James, and Sirius looked at them. Remus had dug his nails into the table again. Sirius pulled them out, and Remus put his hands back on his lap. McGonagall came back in the room, followed by Lily, who was not looking at all happy. The room went quiet. McGonagall looked down at Lily, who just headed up the girls' stairs. McGonagall left the room, which burst back into talk. Marie got off of Emily's lap.

"I best go check on her," Marie said," I'll be back soon."

Marie headed up the stairs. Emily watched her go, before quickly running over to Sirius, James, and Remus's table.

"That girl is crazy," Emily said," She is the clingiest girl I've ever met."

"Are you okay?" Remus asked, looking a bit worried.

"I'm fine," Emily said, looking at Remus with a smile.

"How bad is it?" Sirius asked," If it's bad, then I'm definitely not going out with her."

"She won't go out with you, so stop thinking she will," James said.

Sirius folded his arm. Emily rolled her eyes and looked up the girls stares. Marie was coming back down. Emily quickly ran from the table and ran back over to the table that her and Marie were sitting at before. Marie walked over to her and sat back down on her lap.

"What were you doing?" Marie asked.

"Just running around the room to keep in shape," Emily said.

"You look good just the way you are," Marie giggled.

Remus rolled his eyes. They could hear everything that the others were saying. Sirius and James just shook their heads and went back to what they were talking about before.

"She always looks good," Remus muttered.

"She's a boy," Sirius said," and you think she looks good?"

"Look at me," Remus said," I'm a girl. It wouldn't be odd if we still held hands and kissed, and I think she still looks good."

James tried not to laugh. The three looked over at Emily and Marie, who had stood up and left the common room.

"Wonder where they're going," James said.

"Let's follow them," Sirius said, standing up and heading for the door before anyone could say anything.

Remus and James looked at each other, and then quickly ran after Sirius. Sirius was almost to the bottom of the stairs when they caught up to him.

"What do you think this is?" James asked.

"They left the school," Sirius said as if he was a spy," Stay hidden, don't let them see you."

Before Remus or James could say anything. Sirius was off again. Remus and James quickly followed him out of the school and onto the grounds. Emily and Marie seemed to be heading to the quidditch field. Sirius not really that far behind them. He was in his animagus form. He wasn't as big as he used to be though. James and Remus hid behind trees and bushes.

"This is so stupid of Sirius," Remus muttered.

"And yet so exciting," James said, with an evil grin on his face.

"Great," Remus muttered," I feel uncomfortable doing this."

James just rolled his eyes. He was having too much fun hiding behind trees, trying not to get caught. When they were caught up with Sirius, who was back to normal. Emily and Marie was standing in the middle of the field. Marie was spinning around like a crazy person. Emily seemed to be looking a bit worried.

"What the heck," James said," Is this all they're doing?"

"I'm not sure," Sirius whispered.

"This is so ridiculous," Remus yelled, causing James and Sirius quickly hiding.

Marie stopped spinning and turned around to see Remus. Emily tried not to look at him. Marie didn't look to happy about being interrupted. Remus thought it would be best if he went over to them. James and Sirius tried to stop him, but Remus moved to fast. They looked at each other and listened very carefully. Marie folded her arms as Remus moved to where she was standing.

"What do you think you're doing?" Marie yelled, then she gave an evil grin," Do you like Eric? Well, he's mine so leave him alone."

Remus didn't think about what he was doing, he just did it. He slapped Marie. Emily tried not to laugh at the look of shock on Marie's face.

"I'm sorry," Remus quickly said," I don't know what came over-"

Remus never got to finish, since Marie slapped him and pushed him to the ground.

"That will teach you," Marie hissed.

Emily grabbed Marie's shoulder and made Marie turn to face her. Marie gave a smile, but it quickly disappeared when Emily slapped her. Emily helped Remus stand up and they walked off together. Marie looked more then shocked.

"We are so over," Marie yelled.

Emily didn't seem to care. Sirius and James stood up when Remus and Emily reached the spot they were hiding. James and Sirius were laughing.

"That was cool," James said after he stopped laughing.

"The look on her face," Sirius said, laughing even harder.

"That didn't turn out as I planned," Emily said, looking at Remus," Since I'm now dateless for this dance. Do you want to go with me?"

"I'd love to go with you," Remus said, with a smile.

"I just hope Lily is okay," James said," Hopefully she is at the dance."

Sirius had stopped laughing. The four of them were silent as they headed back up to the common room. The dance was tomorrow and they needed their sleep.
