Hey there, my lovely readers. Why aren't you a fine group of people! Thanks for reading my story. It's written for the 100 Drabble/One shot challenge. So, what that means is by the time I'm done I will have 100 Lily/James one shots each one based off of a certain word from a list of a hundred words I was given. Chapters will be updated frequently because they're easy enough to write. Please review with suggestions, comments, requests, whatever you want.
This chapter's word was "frog".
Disclaimer: I siriusly don't own the Harry Potter series.
Chapter 1: Leap Frog
Lilly lay back in the grass, laughing until she tears rolled down her cheeks. She was outside in the shade of a tree with hers friend Alice who was also on her stomach laughing and Alex who had made the crude comment that made Lily laugh until she cried and Alice have to force herself stop laughing so she could breath. They weren't the only one's outside in the grounds laughing and otherwise enjoying life today for it was a Saturday afternoon at Hogwarts and everyone seemed to be outside in the sun with spring fever.
"So I said to him "Remus, it's only a C+, it's not that bad. In life it's important to remember not to sweat the petty things. Mind you, I reckon it's even more important to remember not to pet the sweaty things." So then he said-"
"Alex," Alice said between bursts of laughter "Please stop...can't...breath!"
Alex grinned she was always making them laugh with her snarky remarks and sarcastic outlook. After Lily and Alice's laughing had died down Lily asked, "Still, I don't get it; Remus got a C+ on a potions essay? He never get's bad marks. Even James did better than him on that one."
"Did I just hear you talking about me, Evans? I'm flattered!" James said with a grin as he, Sirius, Remus and Peter walked to them.
"Speak of the Devil," Lily muttered under her breath, "And the Devil shall apear," But James seemed to catch what she said.
"Oh, I'm no devil, Evans. In fact some even refer to me as a saint," He flashed her a sarcastic grin. Lily rolled her eyes.
"So," Sirius said plopping himself down on his stomach next to Alex. "What's the latest gossip I should know about?"
" We weren't gossiping," Alice cut in. "In fact, we were just about to...to..."
"Play Leap Frog," Lily said. It was the first thing that had come to her mind.
" Leap Frog? What the hell is that?" Sirius asked.
Alex smirked, being the only other muggleborn in the group aside from Lily only the pair of them actually knew what the game consisted of. "Have fun explaining that one, Lils," she said.
"Well," Lily started unsure of were to begin and kicking herself up inside for suggesting it. " Leap Frog is a muggle game that I played when I was younger. First we have to get into a line, I suppose."
All seven of them made a line. Sirius grumbling under his breath something about just having sat down.
"Then," Lily continued " We all have to get down on our hands and knees. The person at the the back of the line," she blushed as she said the next part, "Has to jump over everyone until they get to the front of the line. Then the next person goes and so on."
"Alright, Evans, looks like you're at the back of the line so you getta go first." Sirius said grinning wickedly.
Lily sighed. "Fine."
So she went. It was pretty awkward at first but once they got laughing it was fun. The boys (mostly Sirius) hooted and hollered every time either Alex, Lily or Alice hopped over their back. On Lily's third turn Sirius decided it was about time he stepped up the action. Just as Lily was in mid hop over his back he bucked forward sending Lily flying right on top of James. James was flattened to the ground by the unexpected weight. Everyone had turned to look to see what happened, alerted by Lily's screech as she fell. They bust out laughing at the sight of Lily right on top of James, her face as red as her flaming hair. What a sight! Not even Remus, as sympathetic as he was toward other could contain his laughter. It was just too ironic.
"I'm so sorry, James." Lily said.
"Really? I'm not. This was fun! Especially you falling on me. And the fact that you still haven't gotten off me yet."
'Sicko." Lily said, no longer apologetic as she climbed off of him.
"Nice one, Black," Alex complimented Sirius, still laughing.
"I come by it honestly, Reznikov. And naturally, I might add."
"I would congratulate you on pronouncing my last name right for your first time but I don't think I'd be doing you any favours by inflating your head any bigger. It might burst!"
"Well it's not my fault that you've got a big, long Russian last name."
"Here they go again," Said Remus. Peter groaned.
For once Lily was glad that Sirius and Alex were bickering because it took everyone's attention from their game of Leap Frog.
"So," Alice said loudly, obviously wanting to move on from the arguing, "What do you guys want to do now?"
"I've an idea," James said enthusiastically. "How about we play Leap Frog naked?"
"Oh, bad mental image there," Alex groaned.
"Uh! James Potter sometimes you are such a boy!" Lily said.
Sirius laughed "Yeah, but only sometimes."
So there it is! The first chapter done. I know it sucked but the first chapter always does and my other ones are way better so keep reading! If you have any requests/ideas for future chapters please let me know because I would love to make them happen!
