*Lucys POV*

   I woke up to a happy birthday song just like we always did on every single birthday.

   We did our birthday opening gifts thing that we do every year, and we waited for breakfast. Even though we all know that I'm going to be pranked, or that anybody's going to be pranked, we still do it. I drank my goblet and knew that my hair was already dyed when I heard a whisper saying, "Nice one mate." It was James saying it to Sirius. Me and Sirius did this birthday prank on hair every year.

    "Is it ok?" I asked Remus, "It looks good on you, honestly." I looked at my hair and saw that it looked like the ocean. "Ooh!" I exclaimed, "Thanks Siri." I said smiling.

     "You deserve it." That day we had decided to do a prank. Of course, as always, on Slytherin. We had already used the mandrake leaves, did the things on the full moon, but just needed to do a thing on the full moon AND lightning storm. So, to kill time, we were doing a prank. We got these tubes that had a sticking charm in color, so when we threw it, it stuck to things or people. We were making a plan, and eating of course when some people started leaving.

       "Let's do it."

    Long story short, we got detention. With Professor McGonagall. Sirius' hair still looked like the constellation of Canis Major, with Sirius, so, I think we looked weird. Who cares. I think Professor McGonagall was a bit amused considering that she was trying not to smile.

    "You 4 will be helping me in the classroom today, be cleaning the trophy room for a bit, tonight. At 6, don't be late. " she said trying to hide a smile while saying all of it.

    I looked at them, said "Worth it." And walked up to the common room. It was a weird sensation,  I almost always walked up with someone. There was almost no one left when someone tapped me.

    "Happy Birthday." Jared said with flowers on his hand. I smiled and punched him on the nose. "You fucking bastard!" I yelled at him and heard cheers from behind me,

    "Go Lucy!" yelled Sirius and James. Remus was just eating chocolate. I gave him a bat bogey hex and walked to Remus, Sirius, and James. Peter was nowhere to be found though.

    "So, to the library?" I asked, and James and Sirius groaned, Remus was like ok.

     We were walking to the library when we, well I, took a left. "Library's this way," James yelled out. "I'm not going to the library, I'm going to the kitchens." "Good, I needed some more chocolate anyways." Remus said coming to me. James and Sirius looked at each other, "Ok."

   "Do you think that Minnie was giving us the easiest detention ever?" Asked James, "Maybe," said Sirius, "Probably," Remus said, "Definitely." I said.  Everyone muttered in agreement. We heard giggling and some shushing noises.

      "Hide!" I whispered yelled. This was a rare thing to see, I saw a Gryffindor girl that I've never seen before, well except in the common room sometimes, a Ravenclaw boy, a Hufflepuff girl, and a Slytherin boy.

      "Hey, I know the girls, that Hannah and Kelly, (Gryffindor and Hufflepuff) I've snogged them." He whispered to me. I let out a small complaint and went back to check on what they were doing.

    The Slytherin boy had some pudding in a plate, the Hufflepuff girl was talking to the Gryffindor girl, and giggling about something. The Ravenclaw boy was actually very bored, talking to the other boy, while in the floor.

  After a while and us whispering to each other they left and we were back on the couches. "Hey what time is it?" I asked Remus. "It's 5:37." "Eh, we still have time to kill." James figured.

We were all on our beds Peter snoring, Remus probably falling into a deep sleep, James asleep (You Can notice because of his foot dangling from his bed.). Sirius however was talking to himself I guess.

   "Why is it James? Can't it be Jame? One Jame. How many James?"
  "Go to sleep Sirius." Me and Remus said at the same time.
   "Sheesh."

Remus was asleep fast after that but I knew Sirius wasn't.

   "Lucy." He whispered, "Lucy."
   "What?" I said, "I just wanted to see if you were awake."
   I turned and tried to sleep.

I was in Hogsmeade with Jared, "So it's always the good guys last eh?" "What?" It turned into all of my pain from that day, and seeing him leaving me there. I was walking down the road when I bumped into Sirius, "Hey Lucy," he said with a smile on his face, which quickly withered away. I saw Sirius, Remus, James, and Lily chained to the wall as Voldemort murdered him, Peter by his side. Sirius looked at me giving me a hopeless look and ("Avada Kedavra!") I screamed "No!"

  "Lucy wake up!" Sirius yelled. I felt coldness on my face and jolted straight up. "Lucy are you ok?" Sirius Asked, "What?" "You were screaming in your nightmare." James said. "You were saying, 'Not them! Not them! Take me,' and then screamed a no." Remus said. "What were you dreaming?" Peter squeaked out. I looked at him remembering the nightmare.

No, it was just a dream.
Just be careful around him
What if it's a vision?
No, she's just worried about her friends!
Sure.

  "Nothing," I said. I looked outside and at my clock, 2:37. "I'll just go take a bath." "Wait!" "But Lucy!" I slammed the door and turned the shower on, shaking. I had a restless night but, they weren't asking any questions.

~*~

A/N: This is a bit of an extra part really, so, yeah. Sorry if it's a bit short but I saw it on tumblr so most of it is NOT mine, I repeat, NOT mine. Good day or night to you! (You see what I did there?)

*Third Person POV*


James, Lucy, Sirius (With a messy bun), and Remus were standing in front of him was Snape. "You and your privileged little gang!" Snape spat at James, when James punched him right in the bloody nose, which was bleeding. Lily had to come in between them to split them up.

"Mr. Potter!" Professor McGonagall yelled out, making everyone move out of the way. "My office NOW!" And told Severus to go to the Hospital Wing.

Lucy, Remus, and Sirius started to protest against James being responsible for it but Professor McGonagall was having none of it. They went to the black lake instead, but James had already known what he was going to say.

"And What do you have to say for yourself Mr. Potter?" Professor McGonagall said. "He called them privileged Professor."

James simply said. McGonagall quickly understood, she had seen Lucy's scars, Sirius' family, the hell Remus goes through, she was almost always there after all.

She turned to James and said, "Have a biscuit Mr. Potter."
