A/N: wow I checked my e-mails and I almost cried, thanks for not giving up on me guys!!! Ps- I can't wait for the seventh book to come out! Although I am slightly depressed at the fact that I won't be able to be like "oh I can't wait for the next one to come out." When I'm done reading this book. However I can look forward to the movies coming out. That's enough from me except to say review please.

Disclaimer: if I were J.K. Rowling (who is the actual owner of Harry Potter stuff) I don't think I would be excited for the book to come out to find out what happens, seeing as I would know what happens already, I would have written it. But I'm not her.

The next morning Ginny, Remus, James and Sirius woke up the expected nausea, headache, and dizziness that is a hangover. To make matters worse they were given a good talking too by both Hermione and Lily who took turns telling them it "was a school night" and that they "shouldn't go around at night seeing how dangerous it was."

Harry was unnaturally quiet and withdrawn that day. He didn't talk much in class and finished his dinner a lot earlier than the remainder of the group and headed upstairs to the common room where he sat doing his homework alone.

He had been bothered by everyone that day to why he was in a bad mood, especially Ron, Hermione and to his dismay, Ginny.

He heard the common room door open and close again but did not look up to see who entered. He knew if he looked up he'd be interrogated with the many questions he had already been asked about a million that day.

The person sat down across the table from him.

"Look I'm fine. I swear." He said before the person could ask anything. He expected it to be Hermione or Ron.

"Um…okay?" Harry heard the calm warm voice of his mother.

"Sorry." He said realizing he had said this in a very heated tone.

"For what you're having an off day." She said taking out a school book and began working along with Harry.

"Wow…not what I expected. Today everyone's been up my ass about how I'm not acting myself today." He said.

Lily laughed.

"I hate that, I get it all the time from Ryann and Amanda, and James." Lily said James' name in a harsh tone.

"What happened? You and James were just on good terms." Harry said.

"Geez, you hypocrite." She smiled to let Harry know she wasn't mad.

"What?" he said stupidly.

"You said you hate it when people bother you to know what's going on in your life, yet you're asking me about my relationship with James." She laughed.

"Oh, well I'm sorry. But it's just surprising that the last thing I knew you guys were fighting then were laughing together then now you're fighting. How did you two ever manage to end up getting mar…" he stopped himself from finishing realizing of course that Lily and James had no idea that they would get married.

"How did we manage to end up getting what?" she asked.

Harry wished he hadn't said anything. He thought up a lie as quick as he could.

"How did you two manage to end up getting made head boy and girl together?" he said which made little sense.

Lily looked at Harry, obviously knowing that he was lying. Harry gave a weak smile.

She laughed.

"I can't believe you almost didn't come here and meet Sirius and James, they do stuff like this all the time." She smiled.

Harry didn't know what to say so he just smiled.

Suddenly the common room door swung open to reveal the Marauders, Fred, George, Ron, Hermione, Ryann, and Amanda.

"Wow, what nerds, rushing dinner to do their homework." Sirius laughed at Harry and Lily.

"You'd think someone who has a load of homework due tomorrow would do the same thing, right Sirius." Lily laughed back at him.

"Now why would I do that?" Sirius asked "I mean its one day of homework and in the end; the final exam is worth more than this homework."

"Well that's good thinking." Hermione said sarcastically.

"As a matter of fact I think it is." Ron said in Sirius' defense receiving an evil look from Hermione. He plopped down on the couch, followed by everyone else besides Lily and Harry.

"Fine think what you want but remember this homework helps you do well on the final exam, which helps you get a good job." Lily stated

"Oh really Evans and what do you see yourself doing with all this studying and homework after school?" James asked.

"Well although it's none of you business, I want to be a healer." She said in a rude tone.

"Well you'll be really good at that." Remus said.

"And what will you be Remus?" Hermione asked.

"Well I hope to become a teacher here, that'd be fun." He replied.

"Aha Moony's gonna be a teacher…oh let's go around the room telling what we're going to do after school's over." Sirius said very excitedly. "I vote Amanda goes next."

"Fine, I don't know exactly what I want to do but I want to work in the Ministry." She said. "Okay um Fred."

"Well my brother and I plan on opening a shop called Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes where we will sell joke and trick items. We plan on opening up in Diagon Alley. But hey, who knows if our dreams will come true." Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny all snickered quietly to themselves.

"Wow, awesome!" Sirius said excitedly. "Peter you go next."

"Uh, I don't know what I'm gonna do." He said shyly.

Harry clenched his fist knowing exactly what Peter was going to do after school. This was only seen by Lily who gave him a curious look but said nothing.

"Well you better decide soon seeing as it's our last year." Ryann said.

"Well what do you want to be Ryann?" Ron asked.

"Well I was thinking…" she began but was interrupted when Sirius giggled. "What's so funny?"

"Oh, I pictured you as a…"

"Ooookkkay, that's enough out of you Sirius. Ryann I don't think you want to know what he's thinking." James butted in.

"You're right, well anyways I want to become a Quidditch referee. When my brothers played when I was little in the backyard, they'd always make me the score-keeping referee, and I don't know I kind of had a knack for it."

"Would you be a slutty referee?" Sirius asked snickering.

He received many smacks in the head.

"Well man whore, what are you going to be?" Ryann asked angrily.

"Since you asked…" Sirius began taking no offense to what Ryann said about him. "I'm gonna be a model or a Quidditch player, or a Quidditch playing model. And I'll sleep with all the hot referees." He said. Ryann shoved him off the sofa and gave him a nasty look to which Sirius laughed. "I'm only joking, I espier to become an Auror alongside James and we will kick the ass off of you-know-who." He said high-fiving James. "Next I pick Ron."

"Well, my mum wants me to join the ministry of magic like my dad and my pig brother…"

"Dude, they're standing right there!" Sirius said thinking Ron meant Fred or George.

"No, my other brother."

"How many people are in your family?"

"Well there's Mum, Dad, Charlie, Bill, Fred, George, Percy, Ginny, and me." Ron answered.

"Your parents got busy didn't they Ron?" Sirius said.

Fred, George and Ron made faces of disgust.

"Sirius I can't believe you!" Ginny said, no one noticed her come in. "How would you like it if I painted that mental picture of your parents having sex in your head?"

Sirius made a face of disgust.

"I don't even want a picture of them in my head, let alone them…doing it." He said.

"Okay new topic." Remus said.

"Wait we still haven't heard what Harry or Ginny wants to be, and Ron never actually told us." Lily pointed out.

"Are you talking about when we're out of school?" Ginny asked. And everyone nodded. "Got it."

"Well I want to be an Auror or the Minister of Magic." Ron said.

Hermione snorted.

"What's so funny about that?" Ron asked getting angry

"Oh, you're serious?" she said embarrassed

"No I am." Sirius said laughing at his joke. Everyone else ignored him.

"'course I'm serious." Ron said.

"I'm sorry I couldn't picture you as the minister of magic." Hermione apologized to Ron.

"He'd be a right smart better than Rufus Scrimgeor." Harry said after a long time of not talking. "Or Fudge for that matter."

"Who are you talking about?" James asked looking at Harry weirdly. "Alary Landry is the minister of magic."

All eyes turned to Harry.

He froze.

"Oh…well…that's our nicknames for him." Harry lied badly.

James opened his mouth to question Harry more but Ginny butted in.

"I wanted to be a Quidditch player." She blurted out.

Harry sighed heavily.

"Oh really what position do you play?" James asked.

"I play Chaser, but last year when Harry was in detention during the final game I played seeker. But I'm nothing compared to Harry."

Harry's heart sang.

"Really?" James said looking from Ginny to Harry. "Well Ginny, you could try out for Quidditch this year we're looking for a chaser and two beaters and a keeper."

"Before you talk Quidditch, Harry still has to tell us what he wants to do." Amanda said.

"Oh…well I've only ever wanted to be an Auror." He stated plainly

"Why is that?" Lily asked.

"Oh well Voldemort killed my parents." Harry said truthfully.

Everyone in the room flinched and gasped at the mention of Voldemort's name. There was a moment of silence.

"Oh my god." James said. "When?"

Harry thought it awkward telling his father when his father died.

"When I was one, I ended up having to move in with my Aunt and Uncle."

"I'm so sorry." Ryann said

"It's fine, everyone tells me I was just like my dad." He said looking especially at Sirius and Remus. "Please don't be sad for me." Harry said wanting to get onto a new topic, glancing at Hermione to help him change the subject.

"So…Ginny where were you?" Hermione asked, full-filling Harry's request

"Oh I went to get the work I missed in Potions class. I was tired and so I took one of Fred and George's Fainting Fancies and got out of class came here and took a nap." Ginny said

"What's a Fainting Fancies?" Remus asked.

"They're one of the many of our Skiving Snackboxes. These hold a variety of sweets that, when eaten, they cause the subject to show symptoms of some sort of illness, such as vomiting or nosebleed. Used for getting out of classes. The sweets have two differently colored halves. The first half causes the malady, and the second half is the antidote. Skiving Snackboxes include Fever Fudge, Nosebleed Nougat, Fainting Fancies and Puking Pastilles." George explained very formally.

"So you fake sick to get out of class?" Ryann asked.

"Yes." The twins answered together

"That's barbaric!" shouted Lily

"That's ingenious!" Shouted Sirius

Lily stood up and began arguing with Sirius as Ginny took a seat across from Harry.

Harry decided that now he would ask Ginny about the previous night.

"Ginny I have a question." Harry began

"Sure what is it?"

They were unheard by all due to the arguing occurring between Lily and Sirius.

"Are you and Sirius together?" he said quietly swallowing hard afterwards.

"What?" she said taken back. "No! Why would you think that?"

"Well you guys made out last night." He said even though it killed him inside.

"WHAT!" she screamed causing the fight between Sirius and Lily to stop.

"What's wrong?" James asked.

"HARRY SAID THAT SIRIUS AND I MADEOUT LAST NIGHT!"

"What!?" everyone else said in unison, not quite as loud as Ginny but equally as surprised.

"How drunk were you guys to not know that you kissed?" Remus asked

"As drunk as you were not to know you streaked." Fred stated to Remus.

"What?" everyone exclaimed again

"Just kidding." Fred laughed hysterically

Ginny stood up

"Sirius we need to talk." She said in a serious tone.

"God it sounds like you're gonna break up with me." Sirius said getting up and following Ginny to the boys' dorm.

"Imagine if they're going up to have sex?" James said causing Harry to feel even worse, Ron, Fred, and George to tense up, and Lily to blow up at him saying he was 'so immature' and such.

During their fight Hermione snuck over to where Harry sat. He knew what she was going to say.

"So that's why you were sad."

"You figured that out on your own?" Harry said harshly focusing on his homework.

"Why don't you just ask her out again?" Hermione suggested.

"For the same reason I broke up with her, I don't want Voldemort to use her to get to me, I couldn't live knowing the fact that it was my fault Ginny was suffering. It doesn't matter what time period we're in I won't let her get hurt." He explained

"Oh my gosh, you really love her." Hermione said covering her mouth.

"Yeah, I really do."

A/N: It's been a while since it hasn't been a cliffhanger ending, just because the ending's different it doesn't mean you shouldn't review. :)
