The school year was already getting harder in that next week after the game. The seventh years were already feeling the pressure from their teachers. It was, as Sirius pointed out one day, as though the teachers felt every student would fail their tests if they didn't have as much homework as possible. Of course people still weren't over the day that Sirius was forced to wear Dawnelle's shirt. He had been given a sea green halter that the girls had charmed to fit him. Dawnelle, however, was not so lucky, every girl in the school it seemed, had decided to make it her goal to punish her for keeping him from kissing them for an entire week. Two girls from Hufflepuff in particular decided to get revenge on her in anyway possible.

"She's such a whore," one whispered to the other during a passing period on friday.

"You are so right, Ashley," the other replied. Dawnelle tried to ignore them as she walked by but they decided to fall in step right behind her.

"I wish she was a little less selfish Mary."

"She is only doing this because she can't get a guy for herself."

"What a loser." They were talking loudly now so they were sure that Dawnelle could hear them. She just wished she could get to class faster so she could find Lily and Amber. She thought about trying to defend herself but she knew it would only give them pleasure to know they had gotten to her. However, Sirius caught up with her and heard the last few remarks the girls made.

"Loser eh?" he said loudly stopping in front of them and getting the attention of most of the hallway, "it's strange to think that this so called loser happens to be more attractive then either of you." Both girls looked stunned at this comment and quite talking.

"Oh, Sirius you are sooo funny!" Mary said recovering herself first. She linked arms with him and leaned against him. He pushed her off in disgust.

"Dawnelle, allow me to escort you to class. I wouldn't want you to get lost or anything, ya know." He winked at her and she smiled.

"Of course not," she replied. He grabbed her hand and together they walked to class leaving the girls behind looking annoyed and slightly confused. She looked at him smiling, glad that he had come to her rescue.

They took their seats just as the bell rang signaling the start of class. History of Magic was the one class none of them ever bothered to pay attention in. Not even the perfect Lily.

Binns entered the class room and began his usual endless speech on giants or something of the sort. Amber pulled out a piece of parchment and, after writing her note, passed it to Dawnelle.

Amber: Walking to class with him now are we?

Dawnelle: Just today. He heard those two obnoxious Hufflepuffs talking about me.

Lily: At it again were they?

Dawnelle: Yeah.

Amber: What did he do?

Dawnelle: Told them off and walked to class with me.

Amber: Really? That's so cute! You two could be going out or something.

Dawnelle: Sirius doesn't date, he cheats.

Lily: It's stupid, I know.

Amber: You like him, don't you? He's your crush.

Dawnelle: Don't tell him! Promise?

Lily: Of course we won't tell! Though, I think he likes you as well. He's just too afraid to admit it.

Dawnelle: I doubt that.

Lily: No, I'm serious. James took that charm off of all of us after Monday and still, he hasn't broken his promise to you.

Dawnelle: Really?

Lily: Yes.

Amber: See, she might be right.

Dawnelle: Still, I don't know. I mean, Sirius? Sirius doesn't do serious.

Amber: Everyone can change.

Lily: Like you! What about you and Remus!? No more avoiding of that question.

Amber: Oh I don't know. It's no big deal.

Dawnelle: Like hell it's not! You slept with a Marauder, that is a VERY big deal.

Amber: I guess...

Lily: When?

Amber: Over the summer. I ran into him in Diagon Alley. We went to dinner together and then we went back to his house. I don't know, it just kinda happened.

Dawnelle: What?! Those kinds of things don't 'just kinda happen'! There has to be feelings there before. Unless were talking about Sirius or James of course.

Lily: True, she has a point. How come you never told us?

Amber: I don't know I just didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

Dawnelle: You are strange girl.

Lily: But we love you anyways. Wow, look at my friends, one likes Sirius, the other likes Remus. What is this?

Amber: It's nothing! Hey, what about you and James? Is it just me or are you avoiding him more then usual?

Dawnelle: It's not just you; she has been avoiding him like the plague this whole week.

Amber: What happened?

Lily: Who says anything happened?

Amber: We're not dumb.

Dawnelle: Spill.

Lily: Ok, but don't tell anyone.

Amber: We never would. Now talk.

Lily: He kissed me again. The day after the game. I don't know I was talking to him and Sirius about that list and then Sirius left as when I went to follow him James caught me and... kissed me.

Dawnelle: What did you do?

Lily: I kissed him back.

Amber: WHAT????

Lily: I know, I know, I don't know how it happened, it was just so strange. I just wasn't thinking and I let myself kiss him back.

Dawnelle: What did he do then?

Lily: Well, I told him to go away and he said no. He said I didn't want him to go away. It was creepy.

Amber: So what did you do next?

Lily: I told him if he didn't leave his chances of having kids would be vastly reduced.

Dawnelle: There you go. No big deal then. She just fell for the famous James Potter Kiss. Many a girl has at some point, including your best friends.

Amber: Yes, agreed. I wouldn't worry too much. Just don't let him do it again.

Lily: Of course not! That's the reason I've been avoiding him!

Dawnelle: Oh, that makes sense.

Lily: Enough about me. What are we going to do about you two?

Amber: Nothing. There is nothing to do.

Dawnelle: Yeah, for real. The Marauders don't make commitments to girls. Not even Remus will date a girl for more then two weeks.

Amber: Yeah, I'm not taking chances.

Lily: Oh please, you girls live for taking chances! Who knows? Maybe the Marauders will find themselves spellbound.

Amber: Doubtful, that one.

Dawnelle: Very doubtful.

Lily: But possible.

The girls were intent on the note they had going that they hardly noticed what the three boys sitting behind them were up to.

James: What do you think they are talking about in those notes they always right?

Sirius: Sex.

James: They're girls, their minds don't work that way.

Remus: Really? You know this for sure? Got something you want to share with us there mate?

Sirius: That was good!

James: Shut up. You know I'm right!

Remus: Of course they aren't talking about sex I'm just giving you a hard time.

Sirius: You can't know that for sure unless you're with Jamesy over here in the knowing from experience category.

Remus: Sirius you are the only person who thinks about sex this much.

James: We're currently having a conversation about who is having a conversation about sex. Does anyone else realize this?

Sirius: Well, what would you prefer we do? Pour out our deepest and most dark secrets? That's what girls do in notes.

James: Glad to know you too, will be joining us in this knowing from experience category.

Sirius: You tricked me!

James: What?

Remus: This conversation is getting dumber.

Sirius: Fine tell us about you and Amber then. That's not dumb or boring, nor do we end up sounding gay.

James: Yeah I wanna hear this.

Remus: There is nothing to tell.

Sirius: Yes there is! You slept with her.

Remus: Thank you, you told it all.

James: Oh come on. How did that one come about?

Remus: Ok if you must know I got her incredibly drunk and then I tricked her into coming home with me where I proceeded to seduce her and have sex with her.

Sirius: Remus! I never would have expected that from you!

James: Are you serious?

Sirius: No I am.

James: Shut up.

Remus: No I am not serious! I would never do that!

James: Oh ok, good.

Sirius: Boring.

James: Shut up. So what is the real story?

Remus: I met her in Diagon Alley, we went to dinner, and I dunno, it just kinda happened.

Sirius: At dinner? I must know of this restaurant you went to, I need to get laid.

Remus: You pig. We went back to my house.

Sirius: You are so boring!

James: Does she know?

Remus: No. At least, I hope she doesn't after you gave her that huge clue during truth and dare.

James: I was doing you a favor.

Remus: Whatever, who am I kidding. I bet she knows, considering she's best friends with Lily.

James: Why would that matter?

Remus: Nevermind I don't know what I was thinking.

Sirius: LILY KNOWS YOU ARE A WEREWOLF???!!!

James: WHAT?

Remus: Write a little bigger next time guys, then the whole room can read it.

Sirius: Sorry mate.

James: Does Evans really know?

Remus: Yes.

James: Since when?

Remus: She knew before you two did.

Sirius: I'm insulted. You trusted her before us?!

Remus: She is the one who convinced me to tell you guys.

James: What?

Remus: Yeah.

Sirius: Whatever mate. She didn't become an animagi for you, did she?

Remus: It's not a competition.

Sirius: Oh.

James: I'm going to marry that girl.

Sirius: Does she know that?

Remus: Let me know how that goes for ya, if you live that long...

James: Oh please! She is totally warming up to me!

Sirius: In what way?

James: I've kissed her twice now!

Remus: What? When? Besides that game?

James: The next day.

Sirius: Really? Well done mate.

Remus: How come you're still living?

James: Because she likes me!

Sirius: Keep telling yourself that mate.

Sirius pulled out a blank piece of parchment and quickly scratched a note on it before crumbling it up and tossing it to Lily. She looked at him curiously as she picked up the note.

Sirius: Any chance you like James?

Lily: No, of course not.

Sirius: That's what I thought.

Remus: Why not?

Dawnelle: Because he is totally ridiculous around her. How could anyone like him like that?

James: You dated me!

Dawnelle: Breifly.

Sirius: But she liked me better.

Amber: Now now children. There will be no fighting in this note.

Remus: I agree.

Sirius: Of course you do.

Lily: What is that suppose to mean.

Sirius: What ever you want it to mean.

Amber: Sirius you have issues.

Sirius: But at least I know how to kiss a girl.

James: So do I!

Sirius: You obviously don't since you can't get Evans. There must be something about your kissing techniques that turned her off.

James: At least I wouldn't cheat on her!

Lily: My dislike of James does not come from his kissing ability.

James: I win.

Lily: It is because he is arrogant and...

Sirius: Egotistical and big headed, Lily we could all quote you on that by now.

Lily: Well then when will it sink into your heads?

Remus: Never apparently, considering he has just announced that he is going to marry you!

James: REMUS!

Dawnelle: That is great!

James: Well, at least I haven't slept with every male in this note!

Amber: What are you talking about? No female in this note has slept with every male in this note.

Lily: That was a dumb comment.

James: Lily, I love you.

Lily: Shut up James.

James: But...

Lily: You're asking for it.

Remus: Ok enough of this.

Sirius: Hey Amber.

Amber: What?

Sirius: Remus wants to go out with you!

Remus: What? I never said that!

Amber: No worries Remus, I don't believe most of the things that prat says.

Sirius: I am not a prat!

Amber: I don't know what Dawnelle sees in you.

Dawnelle: Hey!! Excuse me!

Sirius: She sees an extremely good looking guy who likes to make out with her.

Dawnelle: Whatever. This note is dumb.

Remus: That is generally the case with notes.

James: What do girls talk about in notes?

Sirius: I already told you this! SEX!

Remus: Here we go again.

Lily: We do not talk about sex.

Amber: Except for today.

Lily: Yeah, except for today.

Sirius: I told you!

Remus: Dear God, why would you admit to that? Why? Do you know how long it is going to take us to make him stop thinking he knows everything?

Dawnelle: I'll show him that he doesn't.

Sirius: Oh really?

Dawnelle: Yes. What is my favorite color?

Sirius: Lavendar

Dawnelle: Lucky guess. What is Lily's?

Sirius: Geeze, do I look like her stalker? You'd have to ask Potter about that one.


Dawnelle: Told you. You don't know everything.

Sirius: I know everything about you!

Dawnelle: No you don't.

James: Emerald green.

Sirius: What?

James: Lily's favorite color. Emerald green.

Amber: Stalker.

Lily: Can anyone guess Ambers?

Sirius: No.

Dawnelle: I'm not even sure I could name that one.

Remus: Ruby red.

Amber: Correct. You win.

Sirius: Does he get a kiss?

Remus: Are you ever not thinking about sex?

Sirius: At least I don't get girls drunk before I sleep with them!

Remus: Sirius! What the hell is wrong with you right now?

Lily: There is a lot wrong with him.

Dawnelle: But we still love him.

Amber: Speak for yourself.

James: I'm sure she is.

Lily: Class is over. The weekend has officially started. I'm not participating in this note any longer.

She got up and left with Amber and Remus. James followed behind. However, five minutes later when they reached the heads dormitory Dawnelle and Sirius were no where to be seen. Amber and Lily sighed. Not again.
