"That was SO RUDE OF YOU!" Hissed Lily angrily.

"Remus" whined Prongs. He was looking exasperatedly at the owner of the name. Remus, in turn grinned sheepishly. Twice today had he failed to live up to James expectations as a Marauder. Firstly, he'd refused to give James the answer to the result of a troll-goblin cross in History of Magic. His Second mishap was his deceiving James into entering the Gryffindor Boys Common, under the impression that an angry Evans would not be awaiting his arrival.

"She said she'd put a Bat-Bogey Hex on me if I didn't tell you the coast was clear"

"Then you should have gotten hexed" whined James.

"You should have let yourself get hexed rather than betray a fellow Marauder as I would have done for you"

"Hear, hear" added Sirius, slumped against the wall. There was no mistaking the amusement on his face, however.

"That's right Remus. That was very wrong of you! Shame!" cried Wormtail fervently.

"You can lecture Remus about your trust issues later" snarled Evans, determined to make her statement.

"What you did to Severus in History of Magic was beyond cruel!"

"It was just a joke" Protested James

"Well he didn't find it particularly amusing! Your little insult spread through the school like wildfire and earned him the nickname of 'Troll-Goblin'! Alice Longbottom told me that when the Hufflepuffs had Transfiguration class with the Slytherins, even Professor McGonnagal called him that!"

"WICKED!" Roared Sirius, clapping his comrade heartily on the back.

"Your created nickname even got McGonnagal to call him that! That's a new record!"(everytime the boys spawned a nickname for somebody, they observed how well it rooted. They wanted to see how many teachers they could get to call students the nicknames that they'd designated. Only McGonnagal hadn't succumbed to this 'rooting')

"Well at least she apologized. And gave twenty points to Slytherin because of it"

The boys groaned. This tied Slytherin with Gryffindor for the House Cup.

"He was crying in the bathroom through Charms, Potions and Care of Magical Creatures!" cried Evans

"So that's why he missed class! What a wuss!" exclaimed James.

"HE IS NOT A WUSS!" Shrilled Evans

"Looks like we got a Moaning Myrtle in the boy's bathroom too now" commented Sirius coolly.

It took me twenty minutes to coax him out!" Persisted Evans, desperately trying to stir their sympathies.

"You poor soul!" cried James.

"DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR ME FEEL SORRY FOR HIM!" Shrieked Evans, exasperatedly.

"Lily is so cute when she's all worked up about something" thought James.

"Did he cry into your arms?" Simpered Sirius.

"As a matter of fact he did!" said Lily, acidly.

"No doubt she's hoping that what she said is finally starting to take effect on Sirius" he (James) thought.

"But the day Sirius pities the freaky little Greaseball, is the day Professor McGonnagal dances in a tutu in the middle of the Great Hall!"

"I knew he did!" remarked Sirius casually.

"Because you knew how mean James's comment was, and how much it hurt the poor thing?" Lily cried, her face shining with satisfaction, hope, and awe. James tried to imprint the facial expression into his mind permanently. It looked so pretty on her. He wanted to remember it before it disappeared any second now. He knew what Sirius would say next.

"NO!" remarked Sirius, recoiling back as though Evans had sprouted fangs.

"It's because there's a head-sized grease stain on your robes. So unless my inference is wrong, (and you just confirmed it) Severus must have buried his face in your chest while he cried and clung to you like a wittwe baby cwying fow his mommy"

The four boys roared with mirth so hard that they commenced rolling around the floor for five minutes. They ended the session only when they found themselves struggling to breathe. One-by-one they remembered that Evans was still there, and peered into her wrath-filled face.

One of Evans' green eyes twitched. Her jaw squared. Her fists balled up. Rage swelled up in her face, slowly-but-surely. The latter, accompanied by her flaming red hair, gave off the impression that she was erupting lava.

"You. Four. Are. The most inconsiderate, uncouth, rude, idiotic, conceited human beings to ever walk this earth! Should somebody ever happen to chance to cross people who embody the latter characteristics half as well as you do, I PITY THEM!

With that said, she turned tail, and stormed out of the Dormitory, raging and berating the four boys to the harshest extremes. So loud was her continuing tirade against 'letting such stupid prats in Hogwarts', it was still perfectly audible to the Marauders as she left the Gryffindor Common Room, and entered the Girl's dorm.
