"I can see it clear as day,"

The Marauders dormitory the next day was a mess. Clothes were thrown onto the floor as the drunk students just wanted to get to bed. Sirius had eyeliner smudged all under his eyes because he didn't take it off and James' glasses were still in his hands.

But soon James wakes up to Peter's snores. He sat up with a groan before rubbing his eyes. He turned to grab his glasses which were usually on his nightstand but soon realised they were in his hands.

After putting them on he looked around to see Remus sitting under reading. "Mornin. Remember anything?" He asked the messy-haired boy with a slight laugh. James furrowed his eyebrows as he rubbed his head. "I think I made a deal with Lupin."

"I don't think we did," Remus said with a look of confusion. "Not you! The other one." He exclaimed which was soon followed by Sirius letting out a loud groan as he stretched. "Finally awake Pads." James laughed at him. "Because you're being too loud." He hissed back.

He snickered before turning back to Remus. "What deal?" He asked him. "Best prank wins. If she won, I would get her back on the team. If I win she would have to go on a date with me." James explained to him.

"A date! My sister is not going on a date with you." Remus exclaimed to him, putting the bookmark on the page he was on and closing the book. "Don't worry Moony. She is definitely not my type." James said.

"What? A sarcastic, sexy, confident woman with amazing hair?" Sirius asked with furrowed eyebrows. "Sounds like you have a crush on her Pads." James laughed. "Wrong Lupin," Sirius muttered quietly. "What?" The messy-haired boy asked as he didn't hear what he said. "Huh?"

James shook his head before continuing on. "She's annoying and gross and ugly." He began to list. "Hey! That's still my sister you're on about!" Remus exclaimed which made Peter jump awake.

"Sorry Moony." James apologised. "Then we just have to hope Estella wins to save both of you from that date," Remus said as he got up and went over to his wardrobe to get changed.

"What! No! We will crush her!" Sirius shouted loudly as he dramatically punched the palm of his other hand. "Again, sorry Moony." He added as he turned towards him. Remus rolled his eyes at the boy before sighing.

Estella walked into the Great Hall that morning with a smug look plastered on her face. She ran her hands through her chestnut hair as she sat down on the table beside Dorcas.

She then glanced down at the table towards James with a mischievous smirk. "Why do you look so smug?" Marlene asked her. "I've just got myself back on the team."

"What? How?" Mary asked with furrowed brows. "Well, not yet. But after I win this prank war against Potter I will be." The students all looked down the table at the Marauders.

"But he's known for the best pranks," Dorcas said which made her turn to look at her. "He's over there if you want to boost his ego." She said with an unimpressed look on her face. "You're cranky in the morning," Dorcas muttered. "She's cranky at every point in the day." Lily pointed out.

Estella sat down in the history of magic after breakfast. Professor Binns' monotone voice had sent half the class to sleep so the classroom was silent. Remus then leaned over from his desk toward Estella.

"Heard about your deal." He said. "Did you now? He really thinks he's gonna win." Estella laughed but he didn't. "Are you sure this is a good idea?" Her brother asked her which made her roll her eyes. "What's the worst that could happen?" She shrugged.

Estella turned back to the teacher however she soon felt herself beginning to fall asleep to his voice until there was a high-pitched scream coming from Snape at the front. All the students jumped away to see that the Slytherin's desk was covered in toads. The whole room burst out into laughter.

Estella noticed James who had turned around and was smirking at her. "Weak Potter. Just weak." She said as she shook her head, which only made the smirk grow.

The sun was beginning to set as dinner came closer and closer. Lessons had finished and Estella was filling up the time in the courtyard, a lit cigarette in her hands.

"Do you have any extra cigs?" An unfamiliar voice asked. Estella turned around to see a Slytherin girl standing at the crumbling wall which she sat on.

She was in the same year as her. Her ebony black hair was messily cut and fell to around her shoulders. She had black eyeliner on and she had a small tattoo on her wrist which Estella noticed.

"How much are you gonna pay me for one?" Estella asked with an eyebrow raised. "5 sickles." The Slytherin replied as they held out the coins. "Good enough." She shrugged as she traded the cigs for the coins.

A silence fell between them as she lit her cigarette and leaned on the wall beside her. "Look at Mae! Hanging out with Looney Lupin because no one else wants her!" A nasal voice laughed.

Estella turned around in time to see her pull out her hand and flick it, making Snape fly up into the air upside down. "Put me down!" He shouted at her. "Aw, look at little Snape. Maybe he needs his mummy to help him." They said mockingly before swishing the wand again, making him go crashing down to the ground.

The mysterious Slytherin then began to walk back to the castle. Estella hurried after her, a look of awe on her face. "What spell was that?" She asked with wide eyes. "Why do you want to know?" She hissed back at her.

"Don't get your knickers in a twist. I was only asking." Estella pointed out. The students went silent but continued walking together. "Why do they call you Looney Lupin?" The Slytherin asked.

"Because I killed a man back in 1956." Estella sarcastically replied. "Haha. Very funny." The Slytherin replied with the same sarcasm. They then reached the Great Hall where students were walking for dinner.

"Well then, it was nice to meet you Looney Lupin." She smirked. "And nice to meet you," She paused not knowing their name. "Kiran. Kiran Mae." The Slytherin said. "Kiran," Estella repeated. "And just call me Estella. Looney Lupin is my stage name." She smirked. Kiran nodded before the two girls parted ways for their house tables.

Estella sat down at the Gryffindor table but as she gazed around the hall, she noticed James and Sirius snickering about something. She watched with curiosity as James pulled out his wand a flicked it in an upwards motion.

A roar of laughter suddenly echoed through the hall, making her turn around to see that all the Slytherins at the table were now wearing huge pink ballroom dresses.

"Looking good Snivellus!" Sirius shouted with a laugh, his hands cupped around his mouth so that his voice could be heard. James soon followed Sirius' comment with a wolf whistle before turning towards Estella and smirking. "Are you going to start yet Lupin? Or are you letting me have an easy win?" He arrogantly asked her.

"Don't worry Potter. I'm just letting your ego inflate for now."

hi, I hope you're all enjoying this book so far. Just wanna point out that Estella is gonna smoke a lot in this because it is called "CIGARETTE DAYDREAM" but smoking is bad and your lungs won't be too happy. However, movie and book characters just look SOOO HOT when they smoke so.
