Athena and Kimberley stumbled behind Elyse rattling the bookshelf on their right. This caused the blonde to halt, turn around and stare deadly at both her friends.

"What part of discrete do you not understand?", Elyse whispered screamed.

"It's Athena's fault, she backed into me." Kimberley folded her arms around her chest.

"Not mine, it's Kimberley's fault!" Athena said exasperated.

"Shut up both of you, we can't let Amber decide what to do on our Hogsmeade trip this weekend. She will make us all go to Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop and watch her buy heaps of quills then give them to everyone in the Ravenclaw common room." Elyse explained to which both Athena and Kimberley nodded back.

The three girls were on a mission to find out about the Marauders latest prank. They were doing this because of their other friend, Amber's challenge of the week.

All four girls had turns planning the challenge of the week and if the other three girls couldn't complete that task then the girl deciding the challenge would also decide where they would spend their hogmeade trip at. This week was Amber's turn, who was with her boyfriend on a walk at that time.

"Why can't we just ask Peter? This is a very stupid plan." Kimberley muttered.

"Yes, exactly. You will even get the chance to talk to your crush and realistically speaking, the last shelf near the Marauder's table is filled with only a few books. They can easily see us if we stand behind it." Athena argued.

"Oh, why don't you ask your crush? 'James, can you tell us what is your next prank?'", Elyse imitated.

"He doesn't even know me! Unlike Peter, who is also as much in love with you as you are with him", Athena scrunched her face.

"He is not. Why would he like a slytherine?", Elyse shook her head.

"Now is not the time. Peter is gullible but that doesn't mean he will ever betray the other marauders. He will never tell us." Kimberley sighed.

The girls got down on their knees and crawled behind the last shelf facing the table where the Marauders sat planning their next prank. Moving their ears towards the table, they listened intently but Elyse let out a huge sneeze. This alerted the Marauders who turned around to see three girls on the flour behind the book shelf.

Elyse guiltily looked at her friends saying, "Dust, guys. Dust."

Athena rolled her eyes and stood up, with the other two girls following suit.

"Hey, there!" Kimberley waved her hand.

"Peter, Remus." Athena nodded her head at the two guys she knew. Then she looked at Elyse to see her face blushing at the sight of Peter.

"What are you guys doing here?", Remus questioned.

"I...We...Book." Athena stared at both her friends who knew she couldn't lie.

Finally coming to her senses, Elyse took charge and spoke up. "We were looking for a book."

"Madam Pince said we would find it here but I guess she made a mistake." Kimberley reassured.

"We will leave. Elyse can find the book on her own." Athena said grabbing Kimberley's hand, already tense at the staring eyes of the four boys in front of her. "Peter can help. Can't he?"

"For sure, he can." Sirius winked, smiling at both Elyse and Peter.

Athena and Kimberley rushed out from the back of the library. Athena was out of breath by the time they reached the Ravenclaw common room. She couldn't believe this was her first encounter with her all time crush.

What she didn't know was that James Potter for the first time in his life, was out of words at the sight of a girl. This was the person he had been looking for the past week and destiny brought her right in front of him.
