The next few days went by without much significance. It snowed on the first Thursday in December just like Peter predicted it would. That was pretty much it for the week. Dumbledore finally told Lily and James to start planning the Seventh Year's Annual Christmas Ball. Thankfully, Lily had started preparing for this months in advance. She even pre-scheduled a seventh years only Hogsmeade trip for two weeks time. .With thoughts of her brother Kaleb, and James' brother Kaleb weighing heavily on her mind, she was surprised she even could think clearly in class. She decided she wasn't going to confront James about it since she wasn't supposed to know in the first place, and Sirius would kill her if she did.....

"Lileeeeeeeee," Sirius whined on. They were all trapped in the boy's dorm doing homework, and Lily wouldn't let them leave until they ALL finished. Including Peter. For extra measures, she put a special high grade locking charm on the door equipped with a password, 'Homework before organizing huge, school-wide, Siruis Black & James Potter's famous, year end snowball fight'.

"Siriiiiiii," she whined back.

"First of all, don't call me that. Second of all, can we pleaaassseee stop doing homework! I have a pinkie cramp." he even tried giving her a puppy-dog-pout. Which he knew how to do very well by now.

"Oh, boo whoo. It's not going to kill you, Siri. And nope, sorry. Do you want to be kicked out of the dance for not completing your assignments?"

"Well, no." he whimpered.

"I think we know the sensible choice then." she said smugly.

"Guys, just shut up and do the homework. She'll let you out faster that way. She does have a password on the door 'ya know. If you try and get out without the password. It shocks you. Sirius, you do not want your head to be a giant frizzball do you?" Kylie muttered. Sirius' eyes widened and he shut his mouth promptly. Peter however just wanted to go outside and enjoy the snow, so he ignored Kylie's warning and pushed her a little farther.

"Go outside and organize a huge snowball fight?" Peter said hopefully.

"No, stay inside and work hard on our transfiguration essays." Lily said through a clenched jaw.

"Only the Transfiguration homework you say?" Remus asked cleverly.

"Well, no all of it."

"Ah, ah, ah. That's not what you just said Lily. You said we could be inside doing out Transfiguration essays. You didn't say anything about doing our other homework, outside."

"Well-" she started but James interrupted her.

"Look Lil' we've been doing homework for six bloody hours. That's more than I do in like... a month. Our Charms essay is about manipulating spells to your advantage, and to practice the Snow Conjuring Charm. For DADA it's to practice the Patronus Charm. Transfiguration was that monster essay that I finished an hour ago. Potions was an essay on moonstone, and it's uses in potion making. HOM well.... I don't remember what it was about, but i wrote that essay three hours ago, and I already did my Dream Diary for Divination. We can do the Charms and DADA practical outside. I mean it's not like we can practice in here. It's already cramped as it is. This room wasn't built for 11 people 'ya know."

Cracking a grin at James' art of persuasion, she agreed half-heartedly.

"Fine," she said taking out her wand.

"But, only if we go outside, we actually attempt, to try, and practice the practical part of the homework."

"Open the damn door Lily! I have to go pee, and I have to go now!" Kylie whispered harshly in her ear.

"Kylie, there's a bathroom right there!" she whispered back pointing towards the door that was ajar by Sirius' end of the room.

"Yeah, but.... The seats are like.... up.... I don't want to have to touch them!" she whispered back even quieter, but still retaining the harsh edge.

"Ugh, fine. Just let us out of this jail cell!" James whined.

"Homework before organizing huge, school-wide, Siruis Black & James Potter's famous, year end snowball fight." Lily said reluctantly.

"THAT was the password!!!" They all laughed, minus Lily .

"Yep."

"I could've guessed that. I just didn't think you'd be, of all people, as plain and uncreative as that."

"That was the point."

And without another word, she and the girls left to go put on their winter jackets, some cute boots, warm gloves, and a charmed trench coat.

Ten minutes later, they were all down in front of the castle. Once they were assembled outside, they decidedly were going to have two teams. James was the captain of Team Blue. After a very long debate of team color, in which, of course, Sirius won, Sirius was the captain of Team Hot Pink. What Sirius wants….. Sirius gets.

James, Peter, Frank, Kylie, Lauren, and Morgan were on Team Blue. The alleged Team Hot Pink were made up by Sirius (captain), Lily (co-captain), Remus, Logan, and Alice.

"So how about one team gets the forest and one the lake?" Lauren suggested.

"I CALL FOREST!" Sirius and James shouted at the same time.

"I SAID IT FIRST!"

"NUH UH!"

"UH HUH"

"NUH-" they started but were but off by Lily.

"How about Rock-Paper-Scissors?" she suggested.

Sirius deciding to play dumb asked what it was.

"It's a muggle game where you say rock! Paper! Scissors! Shoot! The person who has the winning hand, well wins. Paper beats rock. Scissors beat paper. Rock beats scissors. See? Simple." she explained to the numerous blank stares, and Sirius' fake one. She had taught him over the summer and he became a master. She suspected he cheated using Legimens.

"Ready?" she asked. With two nods they started.

Team Hot Pink

"Ok guys, we need to spread out and recruit separately. Try and get all the firsties. They're the smallest and can get around the easiest without being seen. Second years and older kids work too. Just get anybody that you can. I know for a fact, being the enemy's best friend, that James and his team rely on strength as a team aspect. They may recruit others for decoys, but their offense is all strength. He even goes for Slytherins. I mean if you want to get all their slime on you, go ahead and recruit them, but after that they're your responsibility. Remember, even strength has to bow down to smarts sometimes. This means Ravenclaws and lots of them." He whispered to his team determinedly, eyes shining fiercely with mischief flecked through the stormy grey clouds.

"Right," said Lily, who to Sirius' displeasure got to be co-captain. While Sirius just got to be the main dictator, she got to be Head of the Defensive Team. Which so far included Logan and her. (He's a Charms nerd too!!)

"Sirius and I will stay here while you go recruit. I don't care how you get them to join. Confund them for all I care. Just get them here. We will do the prepping. The fort building, charming, and such. You all have to make sure when you get the people to agree, put a Disillusionment Charm on them so it looks like we have less people. If you see the enemy in the halls you'll look like you've been slacking in the recruit department. Then they'll get over condfident and not panic. Why don't we want them to panic you ask? Simple. If they panic that makes them feel like they have to recruit faster and they go into overdrive. Remember this and you'll do fine. Team Sirius if they ask. Go for the fan girls too. They'll throw themselves at you once they find out you're for Sirius' Team. We all know how much Sirius is loved." she said with minimal sarcasm and a roll of her eyes at the last line.

"Put your hands in."

"One, Two, Three TEAM HOT PINK!!!" They all shouted.

Team Blue

"Ok we need to get as many fifth years and above as possible." James said to the team while they nodded, just as Sirius predicted.

"We'll need as many Gryffindors as we can get. I mean who else is going to go on offense? Hufflepuff? I don't think so. The only things you really need to know for recruits are NO FAN GIRLS, they scare the crap out of me sometimes to be honest, anddddd no Slytherins. Kylie can do the fort. Got it? Ok. Break!" he said and ran away to gather teamates before Kylie had time to refuse.

Back on Team Hot Pink

"OK, you can do the charms, I'll build the fort. I researched this the other day specifically for the purpose of the game. I found this Spell that turns a snowball into an igloo on the outside, and an ICE CASTLE on the inside! Then we can make our own little lookout tower. Oh and just to let you know it's multpile stories. I'll block off the inner rooms and hallways of the castle so nobody gets lost or trapped. Bloody idiots. Well, yeah, that's my plan." he sighed then finished.

"Ok, well we need a Caterwauling Charm on the forest, so we can know if there are any intruders. Also on the fort. I'll put special charms on our teams so it doesn't go off for them. I'll put a temporary radar in their vision, so they'll be able to see intruding forces and teamates. I'll put a sort of temporary infallible charm on the fort too. Uuuummm. How about..... A Fidelius Charm!!!!!! We'll make you the secret keeper and you can stand at the entrance and tell them where the fort is!" she said excitedly.

"Can I wear a crown?" he asked with raised eyebrows.

"Sure, I guess. Can I wear a crown?"

"No."

"What why!?"

"You said James let you be queen before. It's my turn now."

"Fine. I'll wear a tiara." she countered.

Torn between amusement at Lily's tactics and keeping a straight face for the nature of the conversation, which was, of course, Sirius, he kept a straight face and grunted.

Smirking smugly at Sirius silence she left to go put the charms up.

"Fine! Then I get to wear a cape!" he shouted at her grinning madly.

"Mine gets to have fur on it!" she shouted back, now jogging backwards.

Sirius laughed and sent a tripping hex her way and she fell face first into the snow. Using her newly discovered abilities, she glared at him and made his pants fall down. Then she put a Permenant Sticking Charm on them so they stuck to his trainers. This caused him to trip and fall over. In the distance she saw everybody from Team Hot Pink coming thier way. She decided to be nice and turn his plain black silky boxers to black silky boxers with sparkling rainbows and unicorns. She charmed her initials LE to his behind.

Giggling, she picked herself up and ran away to go start the charms as she was going to do before Sirius messed with her.

Sirius just glared and kept trying to pull his pants up. Giving up, he just took off his shoes and pants and went pantless. Not before putting a warming charm on himself first. Otherwise it would have just been foolish AND embarrassing.

Once the group got back Remus asked the obvious question.

"Lily got to you?"

Team Blue

"Ok team," he addressed as about 100 people came into view. They were mostly every Gryffindor minus third year and below, about 20 third and fourth year Slytherins, the sixth and seventh year Ravenclaws, about 30 Hufflepuffs, not the fan girls, minus one of two that snuck in, including his ex and her wanna be. So pretty much, it was the tough people. Minus a few of the Hufflepuff girls.

"We have the lake as our area! We would have the forest like most years, but Sirius won the game we used to determine who got the forest." he grumbled.

"Ok, now we need to build a fort. Any ideas?"

"Well, we could always just charm the snow in sections and shape it into a fort. Then of course charm the walls to stone." Said Caroline, a sixth year Gryffindor.

"Yeah, and we could put an Imperturable Charm on it, so they can't throw snowballs at it while we're inside." Triston, another sixth year said. He was in Gryffindor too, and on the Gryffindor Quidditch Team as James' fellow chaser. Triston was one of those people who you either loved or hated. James just happened to love the kid. He had attractive shaggy brown hair, not unlike a certain seventh year Gryffindor that fawned over their hair and had monthly hair counts, that fell elegantly into his sparkling hazel eyes.

"All great ideas, now we need something else.... Something big and flashy. What do you say Pete?"

"We could put up a huge banner of Sirius over there." he said chortling and pointing at Sirius jogging towards them with the rest of his team.

Every head in the crowd turned towards Sirius in his black, and now sparkly, boxers.

"Haha! I love it Wormtail! On his forehead we can write..... Dogbreath." he said grinning at an inside joke from fifth year when they learned of their animagus forms.

When people started looking at him skeptically for the feeble suggestion, he explained, "Inside joke."

Sirius stopped in his tracks, realizing he couldn't complain to James about Evans because he was the enemy! You can act all buddy buddy with enemies! What was he thinking! He cursed himself and ran back to the meeting place.

Team Hot Pink

"Ok, we've got the fortress down, Sirius!" Lily called to the handsome man making snow angels in his underwear.

"Do we have ammo?" he shouted back.

"Well, nooo!" she called back.

"Then get ammo!"

"Ugh, fine!" with a swish of her wand she gathered a huge heap of snow then made it fall all on Sirius, drowing the poor lad in snow and ice.

She lifted it back up taking her time. Then shouted, "Oops! My bad!" with a cute little "Lily" shrug of her shoulders.

She formed it into a huge snowball, and transfigured a branch into the catapult. Her and some of the ravenclaws were mass producing snow cannons, while the younger years were getting snowballs, bringing them up to the turrets in the ice castle, and duplicating them. Some of the fourth and fifth years built magically altered "snowball guns". They were designed to shoot snow balls at, at least, 80 per minute.

When they were all finished mass producing their ammo they ended up with 23 snowball guns, 3625 snowballs, 6 catapults, and 102 snow cannons. They were walking into the middle of the feild, un-doing all of the disillusionment charms, for the rules briefing.

Team Blue

"Ok, we got the fort done, the huge gigantic poster of Sirius in his new favorite underwear...., the ice on the lake reinforced so we don't have a repeat of last year, and the ammo, now we just need a strategy." James said to the team in their enormous huddle where James was sitting on the ground in the middle.

"Well we could take all the pretty girls over to their fort and distract them. Then capture the guys." Renee's prissy friend Claudia said, who was just dying to show off her "new chest".

"Erm- well I don't think that will work to well." James said shifting slightly away from Claudia.

"We could hide in the forest, then ambush them as a distraction while a smaller group attacks from the side. One or two people can go in though the back, attack the guards with ice balls, run into the fort, steal the flag, and come back to base." said Jade a shy fifth year Slytherin that was only fifth year Slytherin besides her friend Daisy that she dragged along.

"That is just.... long enough of a plan to work....." James trailed off. Then grinning like mad, he broke up the team into the specific teams. Jade and Caroline being in the small group that got to capture the flag. James, Frank, Peter, Kylie, Triston, the latter's best friend, and girlfriend, Cammie, some blokes from the Hufflepuff Quidditch Team, and a loner that nobody knew what to do with were the small group that ambushed from the sides. Then the half of the remaining team was thrown into the offensive line for the "Forest Group" the other half was going to set up around the fort guarding the flag.

Both Teams

Sirius and James, while still retaining their perfected "strut" as Lily called it, they led their teams with a determined face.

After another game of Rock-Paper-Scissors to determine who got to tell the rules, Siruis won.... Again.

Grumbling to himself, James walked back to his team and let Siruis get the attention.

"Sonorus," Sirius muttered under his neck, pointing his wand at his throat.

"Hello everyone! My name is Sirius Black and I will represent the winning team this fine winter day!" After many rude comments and gestures toward him he corrected himself.

"Ok, fine, favorite for winning team,"

"Now most of you from past times already know the rules. But for those who haven't played before, here's the low down. The object of the game is to capture the flag and get as many prisoners as possible. The flag is worth 150 points. Each prisoner is worth 3 points," he explained hastily.

"There will be no wands allowed. They will all be placed in this big chest. Expelliarmus!" He shouted, surprising everyone before they had time to draw up a sheild all of about 225 wands came hurtling towards him. Putting up a sheild charm, it deflected them and they all fell haphazardly into the large chest in front of him. Each wand miraculously fell into a little wand shaped slot with it's owner's name labled on it. Sirius took a key and locked the chest the muggle way. He gave the key to Remus, and continued with his speech.

"There is now a big scoreboard up here." He said pointing to the huge magic generated scoreboard about 100 feet by 100 feet in legnth and width, stuck across the castle wall.

"You are allowed to push, shove, and all that fun stuff. You are also allowed to use magic items. Such as automated snowball guns, ice swords that freeze the opponent, and handcuffs. You are also allowed to use any magical means of getting you huge catapult to work as long as you already have the charms set up!" He said grinning broadly.

"Yeah, and that's about it! Five minutes on the clock to go hide, and set up. Then," he said, eyes catching an odd glint to them, "we battle."

Five minutes later the practically the whole school was in postition. Mostly people were in the forest and attacking postion for James' Team. Team Hot Pink on the other hand had all but 25 people going out on offense. Lily sat in a lawnchair in the middle of the field with a cheesy plastic tiara on her head. There was already a heat charm, sheild charm, and "attraction charm" on it. Lily took off her cloak, and pretty much everything else until she was left in a very "figure friendly" black bikini. Lily, being Lily, sat on her lawn chair with a book in her hand, feet propped up, and grinning like mad. Occastionally waving flirtatiously to the air just acting plain...... Lilyish.

Suddenly the radar in her vision kicked on. She saw almost every male on Team Blue in the radar's range, was coming unwillingly towards her due to the attraction charm.

Stupidly enough, they crossed Team Hot Pink's boundaries setting off the Cauterwauling Charm. Immediately guards popped up out of their hiding places to "arrest" the intruders.

Still in a daze from the alarm none of the guys resisted being carted out to prison. Sirius stood at the "mini gate" that he conjured for himself to stand behind. He welcomed prisoners with a hearty smile and the exact placement of the castle so they could get in. (Lily put a Fidelius Charm on the castle)

In less than five minutes all of James' offensive line was cramped in the tiny jail. The score currently stood:

Team Hot Pink: 308

Team Blue: 4 (It's a pity point)

Sirius' Team was firing off their cannons and snowball machines very efficienctly. They were piling the whole other fortress with snow. Once this was completed the offensive line which was pretty much, Logan, Alice, a bunch of Ravenclaws, and some first years that kept acting like ninja warriors like Sirius taught them to do. They all piled in around the back of the fort. Logan knocked out the back guards, which were two fourth year Hufflepuffs.

Easily they captured the flag and ran back to their side.

Final score:

Team Hot Pink: 458

Team Blue: 4

It was the fastest Siruis Black & James Potter's famous year end snowball fight the school had ever seen! It lasted all of ten minutes!!!!!! Though it was probably the most exciting, well thought out, and fun out of them all.

About an hour later, after all the wands were returned, forts vanished, catupults splintered for firewood, and flags burned in the fire the firewood from the catapults made, Lily and James were sitting on the stone steps of the castle just talking.

"You know James," Lily started resting her head on his shoulder contently, "You've changed a lot in the past month."

"I did it all for you, 'ya know." he admitted letting a small blush creep up his neck.

"Why were you being such a nice, sweet, caring guy over the summer, then you just got cold and cocky again. Now you're back to nice, sweet, and caring. Where are all of these mood swings coming from? If it were up to me, I'd say you had some sort of long term PMS or something."

"Woah, woah, woah," James said steadily moving away from Lily, looking at her like she was crazy, "I do not have PMS! Guy's don't even get PMS. And, by the way, ew."

"Hmmm. Getting defensive are we?" she teased stepping closer to him.

"Sounds to me like somebody's being secretive!!!" she taunted in a sing song voice.

"You're going mad! Guys. Don't. Get. PMS." he said slowly.

"Oh, I know. Of course they don't. But I could swear this is long term PMS you're going through James. It's ok. I won't judge you and you're odd choices in surgical operations." she shrugged.

It took a second to kick in but James' eyes widened and yelled, very loudly might I add, "I DID NOT GET A SEX CHANGE!!!!!!!!"

A/N: Ok, well here's another chapter for you! Hoped you liked it. The ending was my favorite part personally! Ok, now I Siriusly need reviews. I have a couple questions.

1) When should there be a dance?

Last minute Christmas Dance for Seventh Years?

Valentines Day Dance?

Spring Fling?

New Years Dance?

2) Do you think there should be any deaths of families? Like just to add some emphasis on Voldemort?

3) How do you like Triston???? I have an idea for him to come in, but I want to know if he's an OK character. Him and Cammie...... Though you know nothing about her really. She's a blonde..... Green eyes... yeah.

Well please review! I'll love you forever!!!!!!!!
