Okay, well, I got an idea for a new story...I'm trying to think of all the critism I got from all previous stories to make this one better...But this time I'm asking for all and any critism!
He watched her as she moved repeatedly between the large stack of books and their appropriet shelves. Her hips were swaying in a pattern, as if she were listening to a fast song, yet no music played. The way her short hair shook back and forth and slid between her fingers and she combed it subconciously was mesmerizing. He noticed that her muggle jeans slid down a bit as she moved, causing her to pause momentarily every few minutes to readjust them. Soon he recognized a familiar head of flaming read hair approach from the left side of the library, laden with what appeared to be an emensly heavy pile of books, due to the fact that the other girl seemed to be collasping under the weight.
He slid quickly to the opposite end of an opposing bookshelf to avoide being detected, as Noel rushed to aid her struggling friend. He was glued to their actions, not able to move in the slightest. She was perfect. It now seemed that they were having a funny conversation, as soon they were covering their mouths with both hands attempting to stifle their giggles, books laying forgotten in heaps on the hard floor.
"Hey gorgeous" a smooth, deep voice whispering, jolting him from the strong gaze he had on the two women.
"Bloody hell, Prongs, you scared the living daylights out of me!"
The raven haired boy beside him crouched as to better conceal himself before answering his best mate.
"Your eyes were glazed over, mate! You're in love!"
"Am not. But can you blame me for watching her?"
"If I wasn't with Lils you'd have some competition."
"But you're not with her!"
"My point exactly!" The other boy responded, all in fun.
"You!" He yelled, pouncing on the boy beside him. This caught the attention of the girls, who's faces turned pale as they turned slowly in the direction of the boys. The fighting men haulted mid-punch, frozen for fear of the consequences of being caught. They noticed the girls had quickly resumed their duties, strangley shaking off the fact that they had just heard the queerest noises emerging from a few shelves away.
"Sshh! If we get caught we're dead!" James reminded him, brushing himself off as he rearranged himself.
"Sorry mate, we'll be quiet. We should scare them though. We're going to have to leave eventually and they are right by the only door, so the best way to throw off suspicion is to scare them and scatter their thoughts. Not to mention it'll go in the record of one of the best Marauder pranks."
"Ooh, good thinking Padfoot. But we'd better watch our for Lilykins, she's been quite ill tempered lately."
"Are you kidding me? She's always that way to you"
"Its PBS, ya think?"
"Where'd they go?"
"I dunno. Probably getting more books. Yeah, PBS. That's it."
"Its PMS, Potter, and Black was right, it is just you." Lily's silky voice drawled from behind them. The two boys turned to each other, looks of pure and utter shock evident on their faces before turning to face the Red Head.
"Er...fancy meeting you here, flower." James stuttered, avoiding her eyes.
"Quite a coincedence." Lily replied, eyeing the two before grabbing their shirt collars and hauling them over to the table where her best friend, Noel, sat, her legs crossed and her eyes sparkling with mischief.
"Noel! What a fine day this is turning out to be, running into you here!" Sirius exclaimed, attempting to pretend he hadn't been spying.
"Do you take me for that much of a fool, Black? Just how long were you two watching us?" She demanded as Lily dropped the duo into wooden high backed chairs leaning against the table. Her heels clicked on the floor as she approached the two offenders, tapping her right temple with her index finger.
"Ladies, really, we were just looking for a novel to read on this fine November day!" James insisted, draping his arm around his acomplices' shoulder in a brotherly way. His fake attempt to look innocent wasn't good enough to convince the two girls, however.
"Read? You two? Fat chance. But I've got a few recommendations if you'd like." Noel replied smoothly, not missing a beat, clearly unpetrubed (sp?) by the boys act.
"I'm open to suggestions!" Sirius replied, playing along.
"I'll be right back, Lil, I have a book or two to fetch for the charming young gentlemen."
"Surely" Her best bud replied to her friends back as it disapeared between the stacks of book shelves.
"Well boys, got any ideas for your punishment? As school prefect I belive I should really deduct some points from your house along with a detention or two."
"For what? Being in the library?"
"No, Potter, for spying, being out after hours, and flat out lying to us."
"Ahh, that was fast my friend!" Lily exclaimed as her dark haired companion reappeared, her hands firmly behind her back.
"Yes, indeed. I immediatley found what I was looking for. Now boys, I have a treat for you two so close your eyes and put your hands in front of you." Noel commanded, turning her attention to the two spyers.
The fellow Marauders, not wanting to push the fiery tempered girls obeyed quickly, doing exactly as told, anticipating what exactly would be dropped into their naked hands.
"Open!" Noel insisted, after two retangular, mid-weight objects were placed into their palms and she had stepped away.
"Bunny's Day at the Park?!?" Sirius read the title of his book, confused.
"Baby Sammie's first steps?!? What in the name of Merlin is this?" James demanded, embarrased that a girl had so easily made a fool of him and confused like Sirius.
"Yes boys, this is your punishment. In return for not reporting you, taking house points, or severly beating you, all of which you deserve, you will read your book as well as the other one, and turn in three rolls of parchement fully detailing each story. If they don't meet my standards you will rewrite them until your hands bleed and I'm satisfied, or you'll receive all of the consequences I previously named. Understand?" The girl seethed with pure happiness, knowing she had the boys in her, as Sirius might say, very tight and wonderful pockets.
"You mean you want us to--?"
"You mean we have to—?" The boys asked at the same time, looking back and forth between each other and the revenge happy girls in front of them so fast they became quite dizzy in a matter of seconds.
"You heard me. Without the essays turned in...you can consider youselves...defeated." Noel whispered slowly, before linking arms with Lily and exiting the room, but not before whispering "Marauders, zero, Girls, 1"
