A/N: Hey, people! This is Runa, this is my chapter, hope you enjoy! Neither The West Wing, nor Harry Potter belong to me, as sad as it is.

"So…is there any way for us to go back?"

"I dunno. Ask Lily, she's the one who's got the perfect score in Charms class."

"Lily, is there-"

"I heard you the first time, Sirius, you dolt. And even if we were allowed to use magic out of school, I don't see a single way we could get ourselves out of here."

"Well, then, there's no point in staying here. I'm off! Who's coming with me?"

"SIRIUS!"

"I'll go!" James immediately piped up.

"I'm not letting the two of you loose in the White HOUSE!"

"Fine, come with us then, Lily Flower."

"That nickname is absolutely ridiculous, and I'm only doing this to keep you two from setting the place on fire!"

"Alright, Remus, are you coming?"

Remus looked around awkwardly, "Maybe it's best if I stayed here and tried to figure out how we got to be here and what the best course of action would be."

"Sure. We'll let you know if we find anything interesting."

Lily, James, and Sirius left the Oval Office, with Sirius bounding ahead and leading the way.

They soon entered the mass chaos of the Communications bullpen, though they didn't know what it was at the time.

"This place is louder than the Great Hall at lunch time!" Sirius screamed joyfully.

"WHAT?" Lily yelled, unable to hear him over all the noise.

"I SAID, IT'S LOUDER THAN THE—oh, never mind!"

James motioned for them to move to the side, away from some of the central noise. "Guys, let's split up. See if we can gather some information."

"Fine," Sirius immediately said, while Lily cast them both exasperating looks.

"Oh, fine. At least when you get in trouble, I'll be able to say I had nothing to do with it."

James' and Sirius' eyes were full of glee.

Sirius walked on over to two neighboring offices. He stuck his head into one, seeing a well-groomed young man. He looked deep in thought, but Sirius couldn't help but think that this was someone he'd be likely to befriend. Moving on, so as not to disrupt the young man, Sirius went on to the next office, which he was able to identify as a "Toby Ziegler's" office. Nobody was there, so he decided to make himself at home on Mr. Ziegler's couch…

James, however, wandered a bit further away, and found himself knocking on the door to a "Mr. Joshua Lyman's" office. A worn-out, weary man answered the door after three knocks, wanting to know if James had the "thing for the…the thing." James wondered whether everyone around here was required to talk in this odd code. He assured Mr. Lyman that he did not have the required "thing" and just had some questions. Josh skeptically eyed him, and let the mysterious man into his office, hoping that he didn't pose a threat to the security of the White House…

Lily, wanting to stay as far from the boys as she possibly could, wandered around the various cubicles, trying to find a friendly, helpful face. She found one such face by literally walking into the woman who owned it. The woman shrugged it off, telling Lily that she herself had done that one time too many, and introduced herself as "Donna Moss, aide to Joshua Lyman". Lily could immediately tell that this Donna woman had a forceful personality and could prove to be helpful with their current predicament.

And then there was Remus. Remus, while he didn't know it, was about to have the most exciting adventure of the four. For while Remus stood there in the middle of the Oval Office with no idea about how to get out of the situation, the leader of the free world was just outside his office, about to turn the knob and enter the very room that Remus was now occupying.

E/N: Haha, so yay! I love cliffies. I cannot wait to write the third chapter becaaause, I already know what I'm gonna do with it. A very amazing thing for me, let me tell you.
