This chapter is dedicated to scalefeather for her support awesome stories. Love you!

Slowly after Lily, Marlene and Alice had drifted into sleep, Ginny slid out from her bed and crept down the stairs into the common room. She stood in front of the potrait hole.

   "Ready?" She jumped at a voice behind her. James Potter slid the invisibility cloak off him, grinning.

    "You scared me!"

    "Sorry, now come inside. Remus and Sirius are already off. I thought it would be risky to leave you to go alone incase Filch is patrolling."

    They both slid under the invisibility cloak. Opening the potrait, they walked down the corridors.

    "Shh, Filch is coming!" James put his hand on Ginny's mouth and slid into a nearby broom closet.

    "Lumos" James muttered, closing the door. Suddenly, Ginny was painfully reminded of Harry and her sneaking out, almost getting caught and sliding into the broom closet multiple times. This was almost the same moment, except that time she was with her boyfriend, this time she was with his father. There was another difference- this time, she and James didn't have any feelings for each other except brother-sisterly. Her heart ached for Harry- to feel his touch, to feel his hand in hers, his lips on hers, to listen to his quiet chuckling, to see his loving gaze....

    A sound of clearing throat brought her back to reality. She looked at James's hazel eyes- which only intensified her yearning to see sparkling emerald eyes on the nearly identical face.

    "Don't look at me like that, you are making me blush!" James said and made a very shy face- which reduced Ginny into silent giggles. Her mood lightened, but nevertheless, she was reminded that this was not Harry.

    "I am going to be with Evans soon, so no chance...." James announced. Ginny lightly slapped him on the arm. "I was not checking you out."

    "Yes you were" James gave her a cheeky grin. Ginny's ear felt hot. She couldn't actually tell James - "Hey, I was not checking you out, I was just trying to put Lily's eyes on your face and trying to check out my boyfriend who happens to be your son." So she just kept silent till they went out of the broom closet and followed the secret passage into the Shreiking Shack.

    "What took you so long?" Sirius demanded as they entered the Shreiking Shack. Remus was sitting on the dusty couch reading Moste Potente Potions as Ginny recognized from the Restricted Section of the library. Peter had already dozzed off besides him. Is he always this inactive.... Ginny thought as she heard James replying Sirius - "Filch"

    In the middle of the room, a small vial of potion was kept. It looked like mud.

    "Are you sure you want to do this?" Ginny looked up to find Remus staring at her.

    "Yes." She replied firmly. The Marauders gave her you-are-being-stubborn looks. Sirius took up the vial and handed it to her. "Drink up."

    "What is this?"

    "This is called Drought of Anima Forma. It is a Potion described here." Remus explained showing her Moste Potente Potions. "It took us almost an year to search it up, another year to make it perfect."

    "We topped in Potions in our fourth year due to excessive practice." Sirius added with a toothy grin. "But it rook us upto fifth year to make it perfect."

    "But once it is made, it can be kept upto ten years." James said. "We kept some extra vials stored here in the Shreiking Shack in order to admire our work." He added with a smirk.

    Remus rolled his eyes. "Anyway, drink up. It might taste really bad, but trust me, it works."

    Ginny took up the vial in her hand. After getting ressuring smiles from James, Sirius and Remus, she closed her eyes and swallowed all the contents of the vial in one gulp.

Hey guys, I am afraid that this might be the last quick update. The next update is likely to take longer time. But I promise, I'll update as soon as I get time. And the updates will be really slow upto March. If I take long time to update, don't think I've given up on the story, because I never would do so. I love this story as this is my first, and I will never give it up. It will just take long to update. Enough rambling. Enjoy and keep reading.
