Ginny was feeling much better while talking to Lily and others and enjoying her dessert. Lily was talking non stop.

"Your new friend is really pretty, Evans" a male voice commented. Ginny followed the voice to look at its owner. He was tall, handsome boy with dark grey, black eyes, and great aristocratic look. And it was his hair that gave him away.

Ginny stared open mouthed at Sirius Black. A sixteen year old Sirius Black. For the first time, Ginny realised what the life in Azkaban took away from Sirius. Ginny found it hard to believe that it was the same Sirius Black, who ran away from Azkaban.

"Bug off, Black!" Lily spat.

"Ouch. That really hurts you know... Evans." A voice came from besides Sirius.

Ginny tore her gaze away from Sirius and looked besides him. She felt her jaw drop a little more, if it was even possible.

Sitting besides Sirius was the exact replica of Harry. Ginny almost yelled, "Harry!" But no words came out. On staring more closely, she realised it was not Harry. He had no scar on his forehead, and the look he gave was more of Fred and George's than Harry's. He was dressed much more undity than Harry, his nose was probably a bit longer and there was something wrong with his eyes... heck! It was hazel, not green! And with this, Ginny realised that he was not Harry, but James Potter, Harry's father.

She forcefully tore away her gaze and looked at the opposite side of the table. A sandy haired boy was sitting quietly, reading. He looked up at her and she noticed some scars on his face.

"Remus Lupin!" Ginny yelled mentally... as she looked at her favourite DADA professor. Moving her eyes, she saw the last Marauder, and a surge of hatred flowed through her. A watery eyed, short, fat boy was sitting... Peter Pettigrew.

Ginny tore away her eyes which again landed on James Potter who gave her a most unHarry like smirk.

"See Evans, your friend is already getting mesmerised by my good looks. Better go out with me before I am taken. How about the next Hogsmeade trip?" Ginny broke from her reverie on this comment.

"Shut up Potter! I rather not waste my breath on you" Lily yelled. "And don't you dare to try your player moves on my friend, Black!"

She held Ginny's hand and marched out of the Great Hall, followed by Marlene and Alice.

"They always manage to freak Lily out." Alice whispered to Ginny. Ginny, overcoming the primary shock, nodded. Marlene was trying to calm Lily down.

"Okay, I am okay." Lily breathed heavily. They were already in front of the Ancient Runes classroom. They entered and sat on two benches. Lily and Ginny on the front, Alice and Marlene on the seat behind them. It was almost 15 minutes before class. No sooner than they sat, three other sixth year Slytherin boys entered. But something was wrong. They were wobbling. Someone had used the Jelly-legged jinx on them.

"What happened?" Lily asked. "Sirius Black hexed us." they answered. Lily turned beet red of anger. "I'LL SEE TO THEM! I'LL GIVE THEM DETENTION! AS A PREFECT I....." Alice, Marlene and Ginny had a tough time calming her down.

"Thank god none of the four take Ancient Runes" Alice muttered.

"What's with them?" Ginny asked. She of course, knew, but she was curious for the details.

"The four boys- James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew are the greatest prankstars of the school. Specially Potter and Black." Alice spat. "They are popular, many fat headed girls swoon over them.... except on Pettigrew. So Black and Potter consider themselves as if they are over the world or something. Those boys you saw? They were Slytherins. They kind of had a banter with them in the previous class. That's probably the revenge."

"The only decent one is Lupin. No wonder he got the prefect's badge. To keep a check on his friends I guess. I must say he doesn't try too hard."

"I know he is better than Potter or Black. But that doesn't mean he is decent. And Pettigrew is just a wimp!" Lily snapped.

"And what about Si.... Black?" Ginny asked. She worked out that maybe it wouldn't be a smart move to call Sirius by first name.

"Black fancies no one! He is just a bloody player! He only hangs out with a girl, uses her and dumps her. The longest he went out with a girl was two weeks. Still most of the girl fall at his feet." Lily growled "And mind you Ginny, he is sure to come for you. You are new, and really pretty. So sooner or later, he is sure to try out his player moves on you. You better be careful. Better safe than sorry. Please don't fall in his trap."

"I won't" Ginny answered."I'll surely take care. He would break his teeth if he tries to do anything of that sort with me."

Ginny realised that even if she tried, she would NEVER fall for one of the Marauders. She knew Sirius and Remus too well as a father figure to ever fall for them. James and Pettigrew are out of the question. So, Lily didn't need to worry. Ginny would never fall for them.
