Chapter 2:

The alarm went off but no one touched it.

Lily moved across the room already dressed and ready for classes. She turned the alarm off and poked the two sleeping girls tangled together. How Candice managed to fit in Bianca's bed was beneath her and when she got in the bed was a whole other story.

Bianca was first to open her eyes and mutter angry words under her breath. She woke Candice up and the got changed and decided to have a shower first. Once Candice had her shower they fixed their hair and brushed their teeth, put some lip gloss on, they took their book bag swung it over their shoulder and went downstairs.

Lily laughed at them. They didn't open their eyes for much of that time and she assumed they were leaving to wake up their cousins. She has known them long enough not to ask questions this early in the morning.

The girls walked up the stairs to the boys dormitories and passed many rooms. It was dead silent and Candice who was angry at the idea of them getting more sleep whistled and made a lot of noise banging on doors and stomping her feet. Jordy, Keagan and Jamey ran out of their room in nothing but their boxers standing in a line.

"Good you're awake. Get dressed. You have fifteen minutes" Bianca said to them. They groaned and went back in their room.

Some of the other boys poked their head out to see what all the noise was about. They smiled. One boy was going to whistle at them but Candice put her hand over his mouth.
"Whistle at me and I will rip the tonsils out of your throat and feed them to a Hippogriff" she said pushing him back in the room slamming the door closed for him and stomping downstairs. Bianca giggled and followed her angry cousin downstairs.

When the boys were finally dressed they all made their way to The Great Hall for breakfast. They walked down the table to sit with Amanda. She looked at them and smiled.

"You went to the party then" she assumed eating some toast. They nodded. "In that case, here" she said handing them coffee.

"Lifesaver" Bianca said.

Brett and Scott sat opposite them watching the girls sit swaying side to side.
"I guess you aren't morning people then" Scott said.

"Shh, stop talking so loud" Candice said leaning over the table and closing his mouth. He moved her hand and smiled.

The hall filled with students and everyone sat eating breakfast happily.
Candice was just falling asleep, her hair coming close to her coffee when there was a loud bang and she woke up again very pissed off.

"What now?" she said.

Everyone turned around to look at the Slytherin table where the noise had come from. A jug of pumpkin juice exploded showering some students in the process.
"Here we go" Brett said holding his head with his hand; Scott was holding the same expression. Both cousins were awake by now.

They watched as the jugs positioned in a line on the table exploded one after the other messing on everyone. The students wiped themselves off and began eating again and someone suddenly screamed. Her nose grew a few inches bigger as well as her teeth. Her hair started changing many colours and she started scratching her skin.

It was soon like a domino effect as many suffered from the same problem. There was an outbreak of laughter and four boys in particular stood in the doorway high-fiving each other at their handy work.

"WE'RE BACK!" they yelled together throwing their hands in the air and sitting at the table.

Professor Dumbledore stood up and everyone was quiet.

"Starting the year with more pranks, boys?" he said shaking his head. "You may be excused to the Hospital Wing" he said as half of the Slytherin students left. "Now, I have a few messages and it won't take long. To all new comers, the Forbidden Forest is strictly forbidden. Mr. Filch our caretaker has also asked if students could restrict themselves to using products from Zonko's Wizarding Joke Shop." he said looking at the Marauders who smiled mischievously up at him.

"I would also like to introduce everyone to their new Head Boy and Girl. James Potter and Lily Evans." the two stood up. James grinned widely smiling at everyone and Lily stood up blushing a deep shade of red, almost the same as her hair. They sat down again as he continued.
"There will be a meeting for the Heads of the School and the prefects' tomorrow night. Location hasn't been decided but you will be informed later this afternoon or tomorrow morning at the latest."

"Now, your Heads of House will come around and give everyone their timetables. Enjoy breakfast and the rest of your day" he said sitting down again.

A few minutes later a vast amount of owls came swooping into the Great Hall, flying in different directions delivering their parcels to students.

A letter dropped in front of Bianca and she opened it carefully. It was a page long letter. Her mother went on about how much she worried last night when she didn't receive an owl and how she almost sent Nick to make sure they were ok. There were also comments for the boys from their parents which were ignored as they ate.

Once she finished reading the letter to Candice she put it in her pocket so she can reply to it later.

After receiving their schedule from McGonagall everyone moved to their first class and Bianca and Candice followed the crowd. They looked down the corridor and saw Lily, Chloe and Annie talking to the Marauders. James who smiled widely down at them, Lily in particular.

"Let's just go over there. We can't avoid them forever" Candice said.

"Alright" Bianca said.

They walked up behind the boys.
"And it is the moment you have all been waiting for. Bianca and Candice have arrived" They said walking together with their arms spread out and stopping and looking at their expression. The boys turned around quickly and looked at them in shock. There was a few seconds of silence as everyone waited for a reaction.

"Well, you know what to do" Bianca said.

James and Sirius looked at each other before dropping to their knees,
"I have been waiting for this moment all...day. I love you, you sexy gorgeous things" They said together before jumping up and hugging the girls tightly.

Bianca and Candice laughed hugging them back as they were lifted off the ground.

"What are you doing here?" they asked, putting them back down again.

"Surprise" Bianca said poking James in the chest. "Couldn't get rid of me that easily"

"Why didn't you tell us you were coming?" Sirius asked mainly Candice as he held her hand.

"Everyone asked us that. Our best friend and you guys. Don't you people know a surprise when you see one?" Candice said.

"Well I'm surprised" Remus said smiling at them from behind James and Sirius. They turned to look at him confused. Bianca smiled and hugged him. He laughed as Candice did the same.

"Remus, how are you? I haven't seen you in so long" Bianca said.

"I know it has been a while. I'm ok, but what about you guys. You look good" he said.

"Wait a minute" James said. "You guys know each other?" he asked slightly jealous.

"Yeah, we met Remus a few years ago when we went on a camping holiday. He lived near the forest where we were staying and we kind of bumped into him one night. Ever since then we have been friends. We knew it was him you guys were talking about because how many other Remus' do you know?" Bianca explained as Sirius and James' eyes widened.

"You bumped into him one night?" Sirius asked again.

"That's right. We were sitting around a fire and he joined us for dinner" Candice said laughing.

James and Sirius just nodded in response. "Sorry, I forgot something in my dorm. I'll see you guys in class" Lily said smiling and left with her friends.

"Do you want us to come?" Bianca asked.

"No its ok. I'll be quick" she said leaving her friends.

"We'll go with" Chloe said, bouncing down the corridor with Annie by her side.

"You look good. Been taking care of yourself I see" Bianca said as they walked to their next class.

"Well I try; it's a bit hard with these two"

"Why didn't you tell us you knew them?" James asked.

"Well I guessed if they didn't tell you then there must have been a reason so I kept my mouth shut. I know that may be hard for you two to understand" Remus replied.

"I'm going to ignore that rude comment" Sirius told.

"You think you would know everything about us by now from all the owls James has been sending. Every time I see him he is scratching away at the parchment and you will always see an owl flying up and down." Bianca said still smiling, although waiting for a reaction. He just blushed.

"This is it" Remus said changing the subject. They walked into the dungeons for Potions taking their seat near the back of the room. Other students were just arriving at the same time and not long after so did their Professor.

"Morning everyone. I am Professor Slughorn to the new faces I see at the back. I am the Potions teacher here at Hogwarts. Now enough of that. Let's get started. Today we will be brewing a Strengthening Solution. This is makes objects and/or people stronger." he stated obviously as some students rolled their eyes. He tapped the board with his wand and the instructions appeared.

"You may start"

Everyone placed their cauldron on the table and went to the cupboard to collect ingredients. Bianca and Candice worked on their Potion as James and Sirius argued behind them about something to do with food.

"So when did you guys get here?" Sirius asked.

"Yesterday, like everyone else" Candice replied.

"How did we not see you?" James asked.

"You didn't look. We were even at the party last night and you didnt see us"

"Bummer" was all they said.

"So, you finished for the month?" Candice asked Remus in a whisper as they were working. He looked at her and nodded.

She didn't say anything else on the topic but she did get up to go and fetch something from the cupboard. On her way back she walked past Malfoy's table and knocked it so some of it spilled on his pants and burning a few holes .

"OW!" he yelled jumping up, "You did that on purpose" he accused.

"No I didn't" she said sitting back down looking innocently at him.

"That's enough Lucius. You may go and find new pants and visit Madam Pomfery if you have burnt anything" Slughorn said passing his desk. Some people giggled as he left the room.

Candice and Bianca giggled quietly while James and Sirius leaned over the table.
"Nice work. You will fit in very well with the Marauders" Sirius said.

"Thanks but no thanks" Bianca said.

They looked slightly offended, "Why not?" Sirius said.

"Our parents will kick our ass if we get into trouble this year and would stop the money from coming in and that means no shopping." Candice said, throwing something into her cauldron making the liquid turn a shade of blue.

"It's not like you have no clothes" James said.

"James shut up before she jumps over the table and kills you" Bianca warned.

"You can never have enough clothes" was all Candice said. "Now about that prank this morning. I hope you have some better ones because it was boring"

"The other students were enjoying it" Sirius defended.

"Well it was a little funny but it could be better" Bianca told again.

Lily who was sitting at a table with Chloe raised her handed and the Professor checked her potion that had been finished. "Well Done Miss Evans!" he said, "10 points to Gryffindor". She smiled but the other Slytherin students rolled their eyes.

"Woo, that's our best friend!" Bianca and Candice yelled. The group just laughed and Lily smiled and blushed.

"Ok girl, back to your potions" Slughorn said looking back at them. They smiled and continued like that were told to.

A few more people had finished their potions and it had been checked by the Professor.

"I don't know why we have to make Strengthening Solution. Look at these muscles. Does it look like I need it?" Sirius asked flexing his biceps.

"Do you really want me to answer that?" Candice asked turning to face him.

"Hey, you're my girlfriend. You should be on my side" he commented relaxing again.

"Ok I'm sorry. I love your girly arms" the others laughed as he sulked in his chair.

A few girls sitting a few tables in front were not happy with the idea of Sirius having a girlfriend already. They were hoping to have a chance as it was their last year at school.
"We definitely need to organize a Fan Club meeting" one girl whispered to her friend.

The day continued but as the end of the day drew near it started to get interesting. Bianca and Candice had decided at lunch time that they were going to keep an eye out for any funny business between their 'best friend' and James.

Surprisingly, nothing out of the ordinary until their last class for the day. Bianca and Candice had found the room quite easily which pleased them a lot. They were finally recognizing the corridors and staircases (even though they moved all the time).

They sat together in Transfiguration talking and a few late people came to class before the door was shut. Of course the only people that were late were the Marauders a few girls following them.

They sat behind the girls and they turned around.
"Looks like you have quite a crowd" Bianca said.

"They are just members of the club" Sirius said waving them off.

"What club?" Candice asked.

"The James Potter and Sirius Black Fan Club" Remus explained rolling his eyes. "Stupid really"

"You're just jealous because you don't have one" James retorted.

"More like glad I don't have one. Remember the one time they stuck into our room at night and stole your boxers and tried to sell it to the highest bidder" Remus told.

"That's pathetic" Bianca said laughing, "I hope those were clean boxers"

"Of course they weren't that's why they wanted it so bad. It was fresh" Sirius said. They all laughed at the disgusting comment from Sirius but they noticed someone standing next to their desk.

"Hello Tiger Lily" Sirius said smiling up at her.

"Don't call me that Sirius" she said.

"Why not?"

"Because she doesn't like it. Duh" Candice commented.

"James, I have to tell you that the meeting tomorrow night is in this room and Professor Dumbledore wants us in his office right after dinner" she said straight to the point.

"Ok. What do you think it will be about?" he asked.

"Probably the Head Tower and responsibilities" she said glancing at Sirius slightly. Knowing that he would be taking advantage of his friend's privileges in the very near future.

"Ok, well we can go together or I can just meet you there." he told swinging on his char like Sirius.

"Alright" she smiled.

"So what I want to know is what sane person would make James Potter head Boy of Hogwarts. Might as well make Sirius Minister of Magic" Bianca said.

"Hey!" James and Sirius said together.

"She does have a point" Lily said still smiling.

"Why Tiger Lily, that hurt so very much. Don't you love me and James?" Sirius asked.

"No more than I love you calling me Tiger Lily" she replied.

"That was hurtful" Sirius said holding his hand on his heart. She just rolled her eyes and walked away. "Don't forget James" she said over her shoulder.

"I wouldn't forget" he said.

They all looked at him. "Fine, Bianca remind me then please?"

She had no time for a reply because Professor McGonagall cleared her throat read to start.

"Today we will be revising a few spells as I am sure most of you have forgotten." she tapped her wand to the board and a list of spells appeared with their proper pronunciation.
"These are the ones you will be doing. Get to work and I will be walking around to see your progress" she finished.

Most students shuffled in their pockets for their wands and cleared their throat.
Bianca and Candice looked around the room at the students muttering under their breathe and some of them looking disappointedly at their failed attempt.

James and Sirius had finished all that they were supposed to do and were leaning on their chair.
"Mr. Potter and Mr. Black. As I can see you haven't taken the serious approach to your school work. It is your last year. Don't you think you should give it a little more effort?" McGonagall said standing next to their desks.

"We've finished Professor" Sirius said smiling at her.

"I want you to do them all again" she said turning away.

"But I just said we did it" he told her as she faced him again.

"Mr. Black because you seem to have chosen not to listen to me the past 6 years when I have told you not to swing on your chair I have chosen not to listen to you. Now do it again" she said sternly helping someone in the front row.

Bianca laughed, "You just got back and you have already pissed one teacher off"

"What can I say, it's what I'm good at" he said leaning back on the two legs of his chair.

"MR. BLACK" McGonagall yelled and with that he fell backwards and into a heap on the floor. Many people turned and laughed at him as he stood up again not at all embarrassed as he smiled at sat down.

"I'm cool"

The small group laughed and rolled their eyes.

"Nice work Black. Fall on your face a few more times and the girls will see how ugly you really are" a voice said from the other side of the room. They all turned around to see Scott and Brett playing with their wands also finished the task they were set.

"No one asked you" Sirius yelled back.

"And no one asked you to be here"

"Say it to my face" Sirius said jumping up.

"Just say when pretty boy" Scott said doing the same.

"That's enough" Professor McGonagall ordered. "Sit down before I give you both a detention"

They did as she asked and were quiet for the rest of the lesson.
Bianca and Candice just rolled their eyes at the display of manhood. The lesson ended and they walked out of the classroom to the Gryffindor tower to dump their bags and back to the Great Hall for dinner.

"Hello Mandy how was your day?" Bianca asked sitting one side of her new friend dishing her plate with food.

"Alright. The usual" Amanda said.

"What exactly is the usual?" Candice asked from her other side.

"Well for me. My day isn't very interesting. I have breakfast, go to my classes, ignore everyone around me and make it through the day until dinner. Then I go to my room and do my homework" she explained.

"Sounds boring" Candice said plainly.

"It is"

"Then stay with us. Your day will definitely be more interesting" Bianca said. "Don't you have most of your classes with us anyway?"

"Yes"

"And why didn't you sit with us in Transfiguration?" Candice asked, "I saw you at the front of the class"

"I don't sit near the Marauders. They distract me and they give me trouble sometimes" she replied yawning.

"We'll handle the boys you just stay with us" Bianca said. They didn't go any further on the matter and ate happily.

At the 'front table' where all the professors sat were finished eating and Dumbledore had left to retreat back to his office. A smile spread on Bianca's face and she looked at her friend and cousin excitement showing all over her face.

"Oh My God. Tell me now" Candice said. She knew that look that Bianca got and it usually meant they were going to have some fun.

"Let's have some fun" Bianca said. "Amanda, are you in?"

She looked at the cousins hesitantly. They gave her the puppy dog eyes, making it hard to refuse.
"If we get caught I blame you" she said.

"Great!" Bianca exclaimed. "Let's get started."

Well there you go!
