A/N: Okay so this chapter is a bit weirder than the others, this is a "Everyone" chapter, and it has many different pov's (not everyone's though…) Oh, it'll explain it for it self... haha… just read!

Chapter 8

Everyone.

Mary Macdonald

Gilderoy Lockhart really is not my type, and that why I don't really get why the hell I agreed to this date.

Wearing – like he asked me – a golden muggle top, paired with a black skirt, I wait for him at the Three Broomsticks, where we had decided to meet. I wonder if he might possibly have forgotten and I won't have to try to live through this awful date. But of course he didn't forget it and comes skipping in the doors and it doesn't take him long to find me sitting in the corner sighing to myself.

"Oh, sorry I kept you waiting Mary dear," he chants and takes his seat.

"Hi, Lockhart." I simply greet him,

"Oh Mary, you know you are supposed to call me Gilderoy, we are on a date for Merlin's sake."

I scowl, having to bite my lip to not to yell at him that this is defiantly not a date. "Mhm…" I slowly say instead, if I close my eyes than maybe I can imagine that he's Reg … but who has their eyes closed while on a date?

How much I wish Reg could be here instead of Gilderoy …

Reg Cattermole is one of the most handsome boys you can find here at Hogwarts and also my ex-boyfriend and the reason why I hardly date anymore.

I am told I'm really pretty, I mean, I do have gorgeous small brown curls and my boobs are pretty big, though I'm really small – I wish I could have Marlene height … or you know Marlene's everything … just with the exception of Reg instead of Sirius.

But I guess I wasn't enough for Reg…

"Should I order something for us?" Gilderoy pulls me from my thoughts.

"Uhm sure," I send him a short smile – fake of course

"Butterbeer?" He offers and I shrug

"Sure," I say again and he stands up to order for us. I lay my head back on the headboard and sigh.

Emmeline Vance

I decide to skip the Hogsmeade trip to hang with Desiree, Valerie, Narcissa and their fellow Slytherin students, again at the Library. But this time I feel safer, knowing my Gryffindor mates – if they still were my mates – would not walk into the Library any minute and have a huge fit when they realized with whom I was.

"Soooo… if Snape would ask you to come with, when he pulls the prank on Potter, would you come?" Desiree whispers into my ear, obviously not wanting Avery to hear her.

"Oh Dee… I don't know, I mean … James is my friend too –"

"Yea, I know… but it would totally proof to Ave and the guys that you are not going to leave us alone in the mess and go and tattle on us to Potter…"

"Dee, you know I would never do that … but the Gryffindor have been closer to me than the guys – I love you, Val and Cissy to death but –"

"With us Ave and the guys come," Desiree says firmly "There is no picking, it's all or nothing –"

"When is he going to prank him?" I sigh

"Hasn't chosen the day yet, but it won't be too long… You're in?"

"As long as James never finds out I came anywhere near –"

"Yeah, Yeah. We'll make sure of it," Desiree smiles and squeezes my hand under the table and then looks at Avery who meets her gaze, she gives him a short flirtatious wink.

"Is there something going on with you two?" I ask; mostly to make conversation.

"Oh, I dunno," she shrugs "I don't think Ave is the type that wants a relationship, you know? But … he probably knows I like'im, so if he want anything… I'm here," She giggles.

"What are you guys discussing?" Valerie asks and I notice the guys seem to have left the table.

"Where did Ave and the guys go?" Desiree asks and Valerie rolls her eyes at me, being tired of the fact that Desiree always says 'Ave and the guys' like Ave is the boss or something.

"I didn't ask," she shrugs and then she and Narcissa both giggle.

"Anyways, what were you talking about?" Narcissa asks.

"Em just decided she is going to join the prank on Potter,"

"Really?" Valerie asks a bit surprised but grins, "That's great Em!"

Narcissa nods in agreement to what Valerie said - but doesn't say anything, instead she turns her attention towards the paper she is writing on.

"Who are you writing?" Valerie – being the curious person she is – asks and leans over Narcissa's shoulder to read what she is writing.

Narcissa puts a hand over the paper so Valerie can't read and sneers out: "I'm writing Lucius, not that that is your business or anything."

Valerie rolls her eyes "You write him twenty four seven."

"Well he is my boyfriend." Narcissa sneers out.

"Boyfriend smoyfriend …" Valerie chants and Narcissa sighs rather pissed.

"I'm gonna go and finish this letter in private then," She stands up

"Oh tell Lucie I miss him!" Valerie mocks playfully.

Desiree rolls her eyes at Narcissa over Valerie "Tell Malfoy about our plan, I'm sure he'll like it." She smirks and Narcissa who grins back

"Sure will, bye girls – and see you later Emmeline," she adds knowing she won't see me again tonight.

"Bye Cissy," I smile back at her. It's still surprising how I came to be friends with Slytherins. I sigh to myself – happily and turn back to talk to Valerie and Desiree.

Remus Lupin

Hogsmeade is a big place for four guys to do absolutely nothing.

James, Sirius, Peter and I all walk together into one store after another, sometimes buying something, sometimes not.

"I only wish Lily had said yes," whines James, making Sirius a bit annoyed.

"Stop whining over Evans already," He growls out.

"What is your problem?" James asks and seems a bit offended

"Nothing," Sirius answers and keeps walking.

James shrugs "Then stop telling me to shut it. I've been trying for years, why wont she say yes?"

"You whine to much, that's probably the reason." Sirius grits out.

"Someone really is in a good mood." Peter laughs and Sirius bares his teeth at him, growling a bit – like a dog.

Peter laughs and so does James but Sirius scowls again.

"Where should we go next?" I ask to change the subject.

"I don't care," Sirius answer grumpily. "I think I'm off, nothing to do here."

"You should've brought a date then" James smirks

"You know I don't take girls to Hogsmeade," Sirius rolls his eyes hoping that James can let it go.

But James never has been good at 'letting things go', take him and Lily for example. "You should … You could take Marlene one day,"

"Please don't start whining about McKinnon as well! It's enough you whine about Lily," Sirius growls "Anyways, I'm gone, catch you later," he then sighs and waves us shortly and leaves.

"Geez, he's in a good mood." James sighs,

"Anyways what do you guys want to do?" I ask again

"I think I'm leaving too," James sighs

"Can we go back to Honeydukes or something?" Peter asks,

"Yeah, I have to buy something for Marlene's birthday," I think out loud.

"I'll catch you later," James laughs and takes Sirius's lead and walks away, Peter and I walk the other direction towards Honeydukes. Sighing to our selves over our friends.

Marlene McKinnon

I kick a rock that's in my way on the ground as I walk towards the castle, Lily walking beside me, Mary is still stuck on her date with Gilderoy Lockart and I honestly have no idea where Alice and Em are.

"Everything fine?" Lily asks me but I don't bother to answer

"Hey McKinnon!" I hear a voice call after us and at first I think its Sirius calling me, "Oi, girl who's shagging my brother!" the voice speaks again and that's where I realize it isn't Sirius's voice, the voice belongs to another Black, the younger one.

"Marlene what are you-" Lily says when I turn around, sensing there is some trouble just waiting to happen.

"Wait here, I'm gonna see what he wants." I tell her and she bites her lip "I'll be quick" I promise and then walk off to where Regulus stands with few off his Slytherin mates behind him.

"What'do ya want?" I ask him impatiently.

"I heard a rumor," he tells me

"'bout?"

"You and my brother were fighting, because of me?"

"We were not fighting because of you," I roll my eyes, "He slightly mentioned he didn't like me talking to you lot," I wave my hand at his mates behind him, "So I'm leaving now –"

"But I was told you were fighting and my name came up –"

"He was questioning why I talked to you that one time in fifth year, and you all know I only did that because I was frightened that something was wrong with him, Godric knows I'm not talking to any off you again –"

"Aw, aw, is my brother a bit, jealous?" he asks and his hand touches my face and he brushes a stray of hair from my face.

"Get your hands off me," I say and try to slap his hand away, but we get interrupted when suddenly no one other than Sirius himself yanks him back

"Get the hell away from her!" He rages as he pushes his brother back.

"Sirius, don't-" I try weakly, not really knowing if I should meddle.

"Don't ever touch her again!" Sirius growls (ignoring me) at Regulus and points his wand angrily to his face

"Sirius don't" I try again and walk closer to him, but instead of ignoring me like before his hands push me back, causing me to fall flat on my ass on the ground. "Ouch," I say half angrily.

Regulus laughs "Is this how you treat your shag-buddy?"

Lily offers me her hand but I ignore it and stand up by myself.

"You stay the hell away from me and my friends –" Sirius continues raging,

"Stop this!" I order them angrily – having had enough and push Sirius from Regulus, before turning towards Regulus angrily.

"You leave me alone and never talk to me again!" I tell him and my hands push him away but he only takes one or two steps back, I ignore him and then turn to the older Black.

"Mars, I'm didn't mean to shove-" he tries but I cut him off.

"You don't talk to me either!" I spit in his face before I turn away and stalk off with Lily following me.

Sirius Black

When I walk home from Hogsmeade I see it, him talking to her, my Marlene McKinnon.

I stomp towards them and see red when his hand goes up to brush a stray of hair from her beautiful face.

She slaps his hand away but it doesn't move.

"Get the hell away from her!" I can't control myself anymore and slam my arm towards Regulus so he backs away from Marlene – It's funny how she is always Marlene to me when our friends aren't around …instead of McKinnon.

"Sirius don't –" Marlene tries weakly, but I ignore it.

"Don't you ever touch her again!" I tell Regulus and hold my wand in the air angrily.

"Sirius don't –" Marlene says again and this time I shove her away, noticing that she falls to the ground but before I can turn and help her back up, my brother laughs

"Is this how you treat your shag-buddy?"

I turn my anger back at him - watching Lily help Marlene up with one eye.

"You stay the hell away from me and my friends –"

"Stop this!" Marlene orders and pushes me away from Regulus before turning towards him.

"You leave me alone and never talk to me again," she then turns to me and I realize I'd better apologize for shoving her on the ground

"Mars, I didn't mean to shove-"

"You don't talk to me either," she spits in my face and turns away and stalks off with Lily following her.

"Marlene!" I yell after her and she turns around

"I told you not to talk to me!"

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to –" I tell her "I just don't like it that you talk to him…" I try to explain but she cuts me off

"One, you have NO hold over who I talk to! Two, I wasn't even talking to him, Three, I told you not to talk to me!"

I slump my shoulders and look at the ground "I –"

"This is over," She tells me "I've had enough, I'm not coming back to you again Sirius, I can't take the drama" She sighs and I look up, she can't mean it, she must come back, I mean, she always comes back.

"Marlene –" I try but once again get cut off

"I've said everything I want to say and don't want to listen to anything more, goodbye Sirius." She then grabs Lily's arm and they run towards the castle leaving me - and my brother left standing and staring after them.

"Good job brother," my brother laughs and I decided to ignore it rather than hexing him, I have better problems to deal with than that scumbag people call my brother.

Lily Evans

"Marlene!" I yell, "Marlene!"

"Stop bloody saying my bloody name!"

"Bloody, bloody, bloody! You bloody stop and bloody talk to me, Marlene!"

Marlene spins around, her hands on her hips and her face red and wet.

"I don't need to talk to anyone. Is it so bloody hard to understand that people may want to be left alone for one bloo- damn minute!" she all but screams and turns around to run again away from me.

"Marlene!" I try weakly again and my hand clutches my stomach – I'm not an athlete like Marlene, I can't run like that.

Gasping for breath, I slump down on the cold ground.

"Evans?" the voice I really didn't need to hear says behind me and I sigh.

"What do you want Potter?" I sneer out tiredly.

"What's wrong?" He asks me sitting down on the ground next to me, his voice is soft and it's really … strange, but good… Nice kind of strange.

"Everything." I tell him, burying my head in my hands.

"What happened?" he asks, his voice still soft.

"You should find Sirius," I tell him and feel him tense up next to me.

"What happened to Sirius?"

"Nothing happened to him … He… he and Marlene had, had a spat.."

James sighs and I look up from my hands "Again?" he asks

"It was different from the last one, she broke it off. Like really broke it off, like told him it was over – Wow, I'm starting to sound like Mary" James chuckles a bit before I continue "But yeah, she usually doesn't to that… tells him its over I mean…"

"But why did she?" James pushes "Was she bored? Did… did she find someone else?" James looks at me like he's scared "Shit… she did didn't she?"

"No… I don't think so," I answer honestly "She… Regulus was there and –"

"Shit." James curses "Regulus was there?" he stands up from the ground, pulling me up with him. "Tell me what happened, quickly."

"Potter, you really are over reacting –"

"I'm not." James says quickly "You don't know about his family drama,"

I think about asking him to tell me but I decide not too, I don't think I can handle the drama. "Okay… Uhm… Marlene and I were walking together to the castle, but Regulus wants to talk to her, so she talks to him –" James sighs but I continue "I don't know what they talked about, and the got cut of quickly because suddenly Sirius is there – raging like hell, and he and Regulus start screaming at each other and Marlene gets involved and yeah … you get the picture. Sirius really doesn't like Marlene talking to Regulus, does he?"

"He doesn't want anyone to talk to him, but yeah… I guess Marlene is a bit… weaker spot for him." James explains "Anyways, thanks Lily, but I really have to go and find Padfoot –"

"No problem, but Potter –" I interrupt him quickly.

"Yeah?" He asks and smiles a little towards me.

"You called me … Lily? Not Evans, not LilyPad…"

"Slip of the tongue I guess," James smirks,

"Right," I smile shortly at him before he turns around and runs to look for Sirius.

Alice Prewett

I decided to skip the Hogsmeade trip; I didn't feel like going alone. Sure Lily and Marlene were going and they tried to get me to go with them… but for some reason I excused myself and told them I had extra prefect work to do.

"Alice?" once again Frank finds me sitting in one of the million stairs in Hogwarts. My cheeks redden.

"Frank?"

"Why aren't you in Hogsmeade Alice?" he asks and I gesture towards the floor, allowing him to sit next to me, which he does.

"Had no one to go with," I answer honestly "What about you?"

"Same reason," he gives me a smile and I curse him in my head, silently wishing he could've just asked me but of course he isn't going to… ever.

"Are you looking forward to Christmas?" He smiles politely.

"Oh… yeah, sure… what about you?"

"I'm looking forward to…" he looks around making sure nobody can hear us "The ball."

I giggle "Yes, everyone is going to freak when its official. I think it was a great idea…"

"Yeah, having a winter formal ball or whatever… the girls are all going to like it, I don't know how the boys will feel though…"

"Oh, its just one ball… there has been a while since there was a ball at Hogwarts,"

"But then there is the question who you are asking to the ball… there is to much pressure on us boys," he laughs.

"Oh… you guys just have to ask, we have to be asked or go alone… or not go… That's the horrible part."

"I don't think you'll have anything to worry about."

I snort, "Maybe if I was Marlene!"

Frank laughs but stands up "Anyways Alice, I'm sorry I have to run, the guys will be returning from Hogsmeade."

"That's alright," I give him a smile.

"But Alice –" he adds and turns to smile at me "Maybe next time, you and I should go together to Hogsmeade."

He doesn't let me answer just smiles at me and disappears. Leaving me and my insides squealing.

A/N: I know the scenes weren't all as long… Emmeline's was the longest one I think … But who cares? Hehe. Anyways hope it wasn't to confusing and you like the chapter because next up is…. Ja-Ja-Ja-Jaaaames! Wooohoo… and I can promise you there will be a Lily and James scene – though right now it really isn't long… but I might throw in one more if I'm in a good mood and you guys review!

Also.. I'm thinking about changing the paring back to "Marlene/Sirius" even though the story isn't just about them… they just seem to be the biggest focus point right now…
