" Hurry up, Padfoot! Stop hogging the bathroom! I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE BEAUTIFYING YOURSELF!" yelled a 16 year old James Potter.
At this, 16 year old Sirius stepped out of the bathroom, grinning.
" My, ol' Prongs, if you hadn't said that, I'd have 'kindly' stepped out and not taunted you about your inner metro-sexual needs" said Sirius, smiling mischieviously.
James went in, glaring at Sirius.
"Hee hee…sometimes its so funny when I get on Prongsie's sensitive spots…"
Sirius went downstairs into the Potters' kitchen.
"Morning, Mrs. Potter! What's for breakfast?"
"Oh, hello, Sirius; I made some toast for you and James, but you'll have to eat it in five minutes; we're running very late! JAMES, COME DOWNSTAIRS! WE'RE LATE!" yelled Mrs. Potter.
"COMING!"
ten minutes later, at King's Cross Platform 9¾, covered in soot and bread crumbs
"Ready to get on the train, eh Prongs? And let your vision be obscured by flowing, beautiful red hair…need I say more?" said a theatrical Sirius.
James blushed.
"Oh, come on, dude! She's been hangin out with us for years! Just go on and ask her out already! I mean, it's not like she's your first date ever; you've dated half the female population in our year! And I, of course, with the other half, minus Lily, or course….but that's beside the point. You should –"
The train bell rang, signalling a last call for passengers.
"Fine, we're finishing this on the train – wait, we can't…damn. Okay, you know what? If you don't ask her, then I will. To go out with ME. " said Sirius
James' eyes widened.
"You wouldn't!" he said, staring disbelievingly at his best friend.
"Oh yes, I would."
"You do, and you die."
"Dude, those comments never really mean anything to me, and you know it. Come, on, let's get on the train."
Sirius boarded the train, smiling triumphantly, knowing that he had accomplished his mission. Finally! If James didn't ask Lily out now, then even he wouldn't know what to do.
They walked through the train's corridors, searching for their other friends in the compartments. They didn't have to look far…sounds of small explosions soon reached their ears. They ran over to the compartment the sounds were coming from and were greeted by the usual sight of Lily and Remus playing a game of Exploding Snap and Peter, watching and cheering them on.
"Hey guys! Sorry for the delay in our, as I see it, much needed arrival; Prongs and I had to..er…talk about something." said Sirius.
The three friends looked up at Sirius and James surprisingly. The pile of cards exploded, singeing a few hairs on Remus' head and leaving smoke trailing in the air.
Lily supressed a laugh at Sirius' statement and said innocently, "Talk? What about?"
James blushed.
"Nothing." He said, a little too quickly.
Any trace of a smile left Lily's face and a tinge of pink appeared on her cheeks.
All this was witnessed only by Sirius, whose brain was filled with millions of new thoughts. Remus was busy opening windows to let the smoke out, while Peter was stuffing his pudgy little face with homemade pumpkin pie.
Sirius went over and sat beside Remus.
"So…they both like each other, huh? Well, well, well…..let the fireworks begin…" he said to himself, chuckling.
My first fic! Okay, I really don't know how that turned out; I thought it was okay….is it too boring? Tell me! Flames are welcome. I'll might not update it, but if I can get reviews, I will update! Review pls!
