James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter sat at the Gryffindor table eating their lunch. All of them still bewildered and furious about what had happened last night - all except Peter, who was eager to see what they would do about Cormac breaking their friends heart.

"Where's Claws?" James as Sirius.

Sirius stabbed his pork chops savagely, his face angry beyond belief; but still abnormally handsome. "Crying in the girls' dormitory with Evans."

"Still?" Remus asked sadly.

"Still," Sirius through a death glare at Cormac who was laughing with is seventh year friends. "I'm going to kill him. I'm going to kill him, and that stupid Mary."

"Let's not go that far," Remus said worriedly.

"We need to do something, Moony!" James said in exasperation. "Were you not there last night? I've never seen her break down like that before!"

"I was there," Remus said, his eyes visibly darkening. "And trust me, I want revenge just as much as the next guy but don't do anything rash. Think it out."

"I am thinking," Sirius said darkly. "Thinking about how much that pretty boy hurt my sister."

Remus bit his lip and glanced between Sirius and James. He then turned to Peter helplessly. "Tell them something, Wormtail."

Sirius and James turned their glares to Peter, who didn't seemed fazed. "What are you going to do?" Peter asked eagerly.

"What are you four talking about?" Asked a familiar voice they didn't expect to hear.

They all turned look up to see Lyra smiling calmly at them, Lily beside her.

"Claws?" James said her name as though he couldn't believe it. "What are you doing here?"

"I was hungry," Lyra said, as though it were the most obvious thing in the world. "This is lunch, right?"

"Yeah but you were. . ." James' voice faltered as the two girls sat down. "Do you not remember what happened. . ."

Lyra rolled her eys. "Of course I remember what happened, Prongs. I don't have short term memory span, you know."

James, Sirius, and Remus all glanced at eachother, bewildered that she was telling jokes as though something terrible hadn't just happened.

"Claws, are you alright?" Remus asked uncertainly.

"Oh, yes," Lyra said, an evil grin spreading on her face. She and Lily both glanced at eachother, the same smiles on their faces. "I'm alright."

"We had a talk," Lily said, pulling a plate of food towards herself. "And we both agreed on one thing."

They didn't say what they had agreed on, which made the four boys very nervous.

"Er - what did you agree on?" Remus prompted.

"That Cormac -" Lily said.

"-And Mary," Lyra added.

"Must pay," They both said darkly, but ended it with a laugh.

"What are you going to do?" Peter asked eagerly, leaning forward to gaze at what he thought were the two most prettiest girls at Hogwarts.

"You'll see, Wormtail," Lyra said.

"As a matter of fact, Pete," Lily looked down at her watch. "You'll see in about ten seconds."

"What did you two do?" Remus asked, horrified.

"Ten," Lyra said, starting the count down.

"Nine," Lily smiled.

"Evans helped you?" James asked, his face full with awe.

"What did you two do?" Remus repeated, a little louder.

"Six," Lyra sang

"Five," Lily's smiled was even more wide.

"Four," Lyra continued.

"What did you two do!?!" Remus repeated, a little panicked.

"Three,"

"Two."

"One." They both finished.

There was a pause, and then two screams that ecoed around the hall. All heads turned to Cormac and Mary, who were sitting across from eachother, both staring at goblets that their faces were reflected in.

There was a silence, where one could hear a pin drop, then laughter rang everywhere. Jeers and hollors ran feircely through the hall as the two stared at their reflections in utter horror.

Lyra and Lily smiled proudly at eachother while the four boys roared with laughter with the rest of the hall.

Mary looked around, her head so balled that her scalp shone brightly, she saw Lyra who looked straight at her. As they both caught eachother's eyes, Mary knew that it was Lyra who had made all her hair fall off - and she knew the reason behind it too.

"SILENCE!" Dumbledore's voice ecoed through the hall, making everyone quiet down at once. Dumbledore had gotten to his feet and he looked angry, he was staring at his two students with no amusement at all.

"Who did this?" He asked, though his voice was low, everyone heard it.

Mary blushed when people sent her amused and mocking glances. All the hair on her body had bell off, making her look shiney and unhumane. Cormac had gotten the complete opposite. He looked like a giant blonde furball.

"It was her!" Mary shreiked, pointing at Lyra's innocent face. "I know it was her! She did it! She did this to me, Professor!"

Dumbledore gazed at Lyra over his halfmoon spectacles. "Is this true, miss Black."

"Of course not Professor," Lyra lied easily, having the right amount of scoffing and defiance. "I would never do anything like that to my dorm mate."

"SHE'S LYING!" Mary screamed, she went to go tug at her hair but then realising she had none she tugged on her ears instead - which made her look completely mad. "She's been pulling these kinds of cruel pranks since first year - you can't believe her."

"I haven't pulled a prank since fifth year," Lyra said, this time honestly. "So there is no proof that I did this."

Cormac was gazing at his hair hands in horror, wondering in it would come off.

"I will escort you two to the Hospital Wing to see if you could get fixed up," Dumbledore said sincerely.

Lyra smirked and got up from her seat when everyone turned back to their plates to talk about what had just happened - about the crazy Mary and the hairy Cormac. Lyra stood on her tip toe and whispered in Cormac's npt hairy ear; "I don't like to be used."

And with that, she strutted out of the Great Hall without a glance behind her.
