JAMES POTTER AND SIRIUS BLACK SCHEMED INTO THE DEAD OF NIGHT. Remus and Peter had joined the mischief early on, the former making sure they didn't plan anything too drastic and the latter just happy that the others were coming up with ideas instead of him who would most likely suffer the consequences from Sherry of she ever found out it was his idea anyway.

Eventually Remus and Peter had gone to bed when they realised they were never going to decide anything for that night. James was about to go to bed too, but Sirius stopped him and cast a silencing charm with the curtains pulled around his bed. Sirius had a plan; it was terrible and that was exactly why he needed Remus to go to bed before he proposed it in front of him.

"I'm not sure, Pads." James had grimaced after his friend explained the plan to him, excited eyes and a shining smile. But James' instincts were flaring in alarm, telling him he should stray far away from this idea. "Isn't that like...way too far?"

"Don't ruin the fun, Prongs." Sirius groaned and stuck his hand out of the bed curtains to grasp something on his bedside table, he returned into the confines of the curtains with a camera in hand and James eyed it with a frown. "When have we ever felt sorry for someone?"

"Don't you think she'll be upset?" The other boy asked again as Sirius reached out once more and pulled in the marauders map with a grin as he stared down at it. "This is big stuff."

"Yeah they are." Sirius snorted and James rolled his eyes at his immaturity. His friend glanced at him and sighed, sitting up. "Prongsy, we don't ever back down. We're Marauders for fucks sake and you've recently lost your prank game. This will bring us back to the big leagues and then you and Sherry will be back to your flirty pranking banter as soon as possible. And we better move quick because look..." He pointed her name out on the map. "she's already on her way up."

If James knew what the outcome would be, he would've ripped that camera right out of Sirius' hands and told him off for even thinking of doing such crude things. But alas, his friend had persuaded him and James went along with the plan that ruined everything.

Sherry Opal and Amber González walked down the corridors of Hogwarts arm in arm, held tightly together like always in their obviously differing uniforms. A rule follower and a rule breaker, there couldn't be more perfect a match. Back when Sherry started at Hogwarts, she had intended to rule it and have every passing set of eyes being trained to her as she outsmarted staff and made their lives hell, surrounded by troublemakers only.

But that plan had been erased as soon as the González twins had introduced themselves and taken Sherry into their friend group, every thought of being surrounded by troublemakers gone as she found herself enjoying the time she spent in Amber and Louis' company.
