Look at her, there. She is so beautiful. Those green eyes, her brilliant smile, her-

PRONGS!

Yes?

STOP FAWNING OVER EVANS!

Why? Are you interested? If you are, I'll kick your-

No, I am NOT! But you have got to stop looking like a love sick puppy every time she comes near you! It will only send her farther away! Why do you like EVANS anyway? She is so-

Damn perfect.

Padfoot! Prongs! Slughorn's coming! Get to it!

Shut up, Moony. We can just copy yours!

No, you will NOT. Why can't you two just do your own work for a change? You will feel so accomplished! I know you two can do it if you just apply yourselves, and-

You've already lost us, Moony.

Yeah. See, the point is, we do not WANT to apply ourselves. What's the point? We're already the most brilliant wizards of all time.

Mmmhmmm. Right...

No, really! I mean, we are animagi! And…and…um, Prongs? Help me out.

We're uh…we're uh…GIRL MAGNETS!

So? I thought you were fond of Lily.

I am…it's just…good to be girl magnets?

Well, savor the glory of being girl magnets. I don't know how long you will remain to be so, seeing as Padfoot has a new girlfriend every week.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT? It's not my fault the girls I've dated are so terrible at snogging! I HAD to break up with them! They ASKED for it!

Terrible. At snogging. Sure, Padfoot. That's why I saw you and Elizabeth Bell snogging the hell out of each other last week in the Gryffindor Common Room, you looking quite pleased.

Sure, she was good at it for a few days…then she just lost the enthusiasm I require for my girlfriends.

Look at Snivelly over there. The slimy git.

His nose is touching his Potions book!

I reckon that page is covered in grease by now.

Stop it, you two. On a better note, it is a full moon tonight.

Cool! Where is Pettigrew, anyway? We'll need him to enter the Whomping Willow tonight.

We'll find him later. He probably did something wrong, and is too afraid to tell us about it.

Aye. Sometimes I truly think Pettigrew should have been born a rat, rather than a human.

Prongs! Lily is coming!

Really? She probably just couldn't resist my stunning charm.

……

Whoa, Prongs. She really gave it to you. It must have been your "stunning charm," eh?

Shut it.

Just curious, Prongs. Did you send her a dozen red and yellow roses again?

Yeah. I thought it would be romantic. That's just my personality. Always thinking of others. Why?

I…don't think she liked them too much.

REALLY, MOONY? Wow! I would never have noticed! "JAMES POTTER! STOP TORTURING ME! I WILL NEVER GO OUT WITH YOU, SO I DO NOT KNOW WHY YOU EVEN TRY! You are a cocky rich boy, always harming others to boost you're already dangerously high self esteem! Get your own life, and stop ruining mine!" Yeah, that sounds like affection to me.

Padfoot. You are dangerously close to getting my wand stuck up your-

Padfoot. Stop criticizing Prongs. Prongs! There will be NO wand-sticking on my watch! Remember. I am a prefect. I can-

James and Sirius in unison Take away points, privileges, and give out detentions, if necessary.

Like you'd ever do that to us.

You never know. I could. It is something I am allowed to do, so-

Never annoy Moony again. Otherwise, our whole house will be hexing us; because it will be our fault we will have lost the house cup.

Correct.

Hey, Moony. When is our next Hogsmeade trip?

December 26, the day after Christmas. Why?

I was just thinking…Emma Clearwater is looking really good…

What do you think, Moony? Should we go over and warn her now?

PRONGS! At least I will have a date! Evans will never give you the time of day!

Padfoot. We were trying out a new optimism thing, to help Prongs, remember?

It's fine. You'll eat your words when she finally does go out with me.

What makes you think she ever will?

She will. I just know it.
