"This is Remus to Sirius" Remus whispered into his wand as he leaned against the back end of a tree the next day.
"Remus, code names!" Sirius hissed
"Who cares? If someone finds me behind this tree, they'll still know its me!" he retorted.
"Fine" Sirius huffed. Remus rolled his, thinking about how he had gotten into this nonsense.

Lily walked into the boys dorms and sat down on James's bed, the only available one. She looked at the three boys, which was kind of hard for Remus, since he had a bed on top of James, and smiled coldly. "Well boys, we're all here, Sirius has all the stuff, now-"
"You just have to tell us what's going on" Sirius said, cutting her off. "You'll find out in good time, Pads." she said. "Tomorrow starts Phase One: The Stake Out. We'll need to watch Crabbe and Goyle, Malfoy, Bellatrix and Regulus, and Snape. Who wants who?" she asked.
"I'll take the Blacks" Sirius said, a wicked grin painted on his face.
"Crabbe and Goyle won't be too hard to watch" Peter said, taking the easy way out, as always.
"I'll take Malfoy" Remus said in a monotoned voice.
"I guess Sev is all mine" Lily said happily.
"Will you please tell me why we have to watch those particular six people?" Remus asked.
"Simple, Rem. They're the enemy." Lily said.
******
And that was how Remus got stuck watching Lucius and Narcissa snogging on the grounds. Obviously he wasn't watching them, but he had to monitor what Malfoy did, unfortunately. He didn't understand why Lily was going through all the trouble for James, but that's love I suppose.
Sirius was having a great time watching Bella teach little Reg about the Dark Lord, and how he would rule the world one day and only those loyal to him would be allowed to live. He rolled his eyes at this, it was like an episode of Muggle Barney, only more retarded. He only wished they were on to Phase Throw Dungbombs at Bella, because then he'd be all for it.
Peter sat idly in the Great Hall, barely noticing Goyle and Crabbe. Sure he was supposed to watch them, but who said he had to do it well? Lily was being irrational anyway, who pranks a person just for knocking a guy off his broom?, he thought. Well, what he didn't know was that she was reacting just as James would if it would have been her, or any other Marauder. And any true Marauder would have done it for his friends. Any true Marauder, that is.
And finally Lily. She was in the library, watching Severus Snape reading over a book. Nothing was more boring, and after about an hour she had to admit it; Stake Outs were boring and pointless. She looked at her watch, they had all decided to spy on their targets for at least an hour, five more minutes to go.
"Screw it" she whispered before getting up and leaving. She decided to go to the hospital, and with any luck the others would be there too.
"Hi Lily" James said happily. Today he had succeeded in sitting up with almost no help, (there were still a few pillows propped up against his back). She walked over and looked at the three other boys. Happy that she decided to come, she set down a box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Jelly Beans on James's bed side table and sat down at the end of his bed.
"So" James began, looking at Lily, "Miss me already?" He asked, smiling his arrogant, lop-sided grin at her.
"Yep, I missed you so much, Prongs" Sirius said, wrapping his arms around the boy. Remus and Lily laughed whole-heartedly, but James didn't seem to enjoy it. "I was talking to the person that didn't have the IQ of fish" he snapped.
"Oh, well I missed you to" Remus said.
"Fine. Smarter than a fish, and better looking than one too" he said, looking at Remus. They all laughed at Remus's hurt expression before Lily said: "Yes, very much" and hugged him. "Oooooh" Sirius said, acting like the usual five year old he was. "Don't be jealous Sirius, you could do better" Lily joked.
"First Remus, and now this" Sirius huffed, turning his back. Finally they all roared with laughter; "Did Madame Pomfrey say when you can get out?" Lily asked.
"Yeah, she said sometime next week. Maybe Wednesday" James replied sullenly. The thought of him being locked up for an entire week sent shivers down his spine. "I won't survive" he said.
"Don't worry, Prongs. We'll visit you everyday," Sirius assured his best friend, "Except for when we go to Hogsmeade, because we'll-"
"Be staying with you all day" Remus finished.
"Awwe, but I wanted to see the new Zonko's inventory" Sirius whined.
"Fine, you go and we'll stay" Lily snapped.
"No, it's scary all alone!"
"What're you? Five?" Remus asked
"No, but he acts like it" James muttered before smiling happily, "I was thinking of a way to get back at Crabbe and Goyle" he piped up.
"James, revenge doesn't solve anything." Lily said. "I guess you're right" he sighed. "Merlin, it's almost curfew. You guys you should get to your dorms." he said.
"Since when are you a follower of the rules?" Remus asked.
"I just don't want you guys to get in trouble on my be-half," he said, they shot his looks of skeptism, "without me" he added as Lily rolled her eyes playfully at the boy before he shooed them all out.

"Today, during lunch meet me on the grounds" Lily whispered to the boys as she discreetly passed them in the halls. Sirius gave a thumbs up behind his back before they went their separate ways the next day. Lunch was in about two hours and she wouldn't see any of them for a single minute of that time, so she had to them then.
Next, though, she had to go to Divination and have Professor Chase tell her, repeatedly, that she was the worst Seer he had ever met and that the 'curse' would be passed onto her children. It was an experience that made her glad that it was her last year of the retched subject. As she made it to the dusty old attic-like room the crazy old man considered a class room, she sat down next to Melissa Jonsohn, Sirius's girlfriend. She had long, flowing, honey colored hair, sea blue eyes, and prominent features. She smiled welcomingly to Lily as she sat down.
The girls talked little, mostly about James's condition; something the entire school was buzzing about, and a few tests coming up before Professor Chase asked them to turn to the Tea Leaf Reading section of their books, silencing the girls. This is going to be a long class, thought Lily before heaving her enormous book onto the small, dusty, wooden table.
As Professor Chase finally dismissed the class, Lily sighed in great relief before telling Melissa she'd see her later and leaving off to Ancient Runes. Thankfully, Professor Diggly thought Lily was a wonderful student, and she quite enjoyed the subject herself. As she made her way to the classroom that was about as big as the Potions dungeon, but a lot less ominous and free of Professor Slughorn and his many tales.
Even though the classroom was fairly big, the class, on the other hand, was small. There were only about five students in total, but that only made the class easier and made Professor Diggly assume that they shouldn't have as much homework as they did in other classes, which was a relief to Lily.
As Professor Diggly, a short, and rather portly woman with curly brown locks and a long, pointed nose, walked into the class with her usual sugary-sweet smile that was almost too happy to be natural, she instructed the class to begin to translate The Tales of Beedle the Bard and complete it for homework.
By the time class ended and hour later Lily had completed The Hopping Wizarding Pot, Babbity Rabbity and her Cackling Stump, The Worlock's Harry Heart and half of The Three Brothers, happy that she only had a story and a half left to translate for homework she packed up and left. Releived, that it was finally lunch time she turned right and made her way over to the grounds, waiting for the rest of them by the lake.
Sirius was the first to come, he sat by Lily, leaning against a tree before asking her the question that had been bugging him for two hours. "What's up Lil?" he asked.
"Hey Sirius" she said idly, she had been standing up against a tree levitating random things into the lake for the past ten minutes. "What took you so long?" she asked.
"I got hungry" he said defensively, holding up a Treacle Tart. Lily rolled her eyes and slid down the tree so that she and Sirius were at eye level before speaking. "Melissa says hi" she said at first. "Where are the others?" suddenly popped into her head.
"They went to visit James" Sirius said, shrugging a bit. "Remus wanted to tell him about some missed assignments, and you know Pete. He looks up to James like an ant looks up to a grizzly bear" Ignoring the totally off comparison, she took a bit off of Sirius's tart and began to eat. "So, you still haven't told me what you're planning for today" he mentioned.
"Oh, that" a cold smile playing at her lips. She pulled a small bottle from her bag and showed it to Sirius. "Shampoo?" he question when he looked at the label. "Coconut shampoo" he added after smelling it.
"Not just any shampoo" Lily said, "Lucius Malfoy's shampoo"
"Is there a reason you have Lucius Malfoy's shampoo?"
"Yes, you know how he's obsessed with his hair?" she asked. Sirius nodded, "Well, I wonder how he'd like hot pink hair" she said, Sirius smiled wickedly at her.
"Wait. How'd you get this?" he asked.
"Summoning Charm"
"Can you teach it to me?" he asked
"Sure. Anyways, all we have to do is pour pink hair dye into his shampoo, then one of us needs to go under the Invisibility Cloak and slip it back into his bathroom."
"Oh, I will so do that" Sirius said excitedly.
"Great" she said. "Now, I just need to make it pink enough" she said before taking the bottle's cap off and putting her wand over it. She muttered an in-audible spell and pink fluid began pouring into the bottle.
"How much do you need?" Sirius asked.
"I dunno" Lily shrugged.
After about five minutes Sirius looked at Lily incredulously. "I think that's enough" he said. She shook her head, "The bottle's going to over flow" he said. She ignored him. "Lilian Evans, given me the bottle!" he demanded, taking the shampoo bottle from her, and getting a bit of pink on his hands. He non-verbally mixed the shampoo together and wiped his hands on the grass, but the pink wouldn't come out. "it's not coming out" he said worriedly, "Why isn't it coming out?!"
"It's long-lasting you goof!" she said angrily, "If you hadn't taken the bottle from me none of this would have happened!"
"Don't yell at me, you're the one that got hair dye happy!" he retorted
"Don't say it too loud!" she hissed.
"Yeah, because I'd hate for anyone to hear us!" he shouted sarcastically, pointing at the empty field, "Because maybe the Giant Squid'll get giant Squid feet and go tell Lucius!" he mused
"Or maybe it'll take you away!"
"What in Merlin's beard are you two yelling about?" Remus asked, walking towards them.
"Giant Squid feet and pink hair dye" Lily said
"Oh, cool" Remus said, shrugging it off and taking it as normal news.

OMG, my longest chapter eva! I feel so happy! LOL, pleeze review, because if you don't I will have nothing else to look forward to everyday. JK!
-Chapter Thirteen-
"I know, right? Who do you reckon did it?" Alice asked.
"Maybe one of the Marauders" Frank suggested, "I mean, it makes sense, doesn't it? Malfoy got Crabbe and Goyle to knock James out, so why wouldn't they want revenge?" he asked.
Lily swallowed heavily, "I don't think so. They were with me all of yesterday and today." she said.
"Are you sure? I mean, they could have done it last night. They always seem to have a way to sneak around," Melissa said, deep in thought.
"Nah, they wouldn't go for just hair dye. They'd probably spike a Chocolate Frog with a love potion and give it to them, or something. I mean, what's funnier than watching Malfoy fawn over Professor Slughorn?" Lily asked.
Melissa and Alice laughed, "I wouldn't be surprised if they did it" they mused. Lily was relieved she hadn't told them about the fireworks.
