"Okay, here's the game!" A kid with dark brown hair said, holding up his hands. His three friends stared at him intently. "We watch the passers-by but only the girls."
"I like this game already..." A boy with dark hair and glasses muttered as he leaned against a tree trunk.
"Shut up James, he's still talking..." a round toe-headed boy said quietly, trying to listen, his bright blue eyes
"Thanks Peter. Each one we rate 1-5" The brown haired boy continued, his dark brown eyes twinkling. "1 is ugliest 5 is the prettiest. But heres the trick, if you say 5 for a girl, you have to go up and talk to here. And- Lupin are you listening?"
A boy with long almost reddish- brown hair glanced up from a book, "No Sirius I'm really not." His green eyes then went back to his book.
"Fine then, no chick spotting for you." Sirius snapped back, folding his arms over his chest. "I'm going first, next Peter, then James."
They all wore white oxford shirts with red and orange ties. Then black pants. They would have worn their black robes but it was just the beginning of fall, they would have been too hot. That WAS Hogwarts dress code. Except some students wore green, others blue and others gold. The four houses: Gryffindor (theirs), Slytherin, Huffelpuff and Ravenclaw.
All the boys (except Lupin) looked at the first girl who passed by there tree. An extremely tall girl with a long face and long blonde hair. Sirius wrinkled his nose. "Ehhh...2 just because I'm nice. Your turn Peter."
The younger boy sighed and stared intently at the next girl. A slim but short girl, long dark hair and bright green eyes that stared straight ahead grimly. "She's pretty I saw a 4." Peter said with a smile.
"That's your opinion." Sirius said with a shrug. "Your turn mate." He said looking up at James, from his spot at his feet.
James' dark eyes glanced up and his face turned a bright shade of red. "Well what do you know...It's Lily." Lupin said with a smirk, looking up from his spot at the foot of the trunk, not far from Sirius.
"Okay so James what do you rate her?" Sirius asked with a smirk.
James pushed himself up off the trunk and walked over to the red headed girl the other two called 'Lily'. Sirius rolled over with laughter as Lupin just smirked and went back to reading.
James took a deep breath and hurried to catch up with the girl. She wore a white shirt as well except she had on a grey shirt and sleeve-less sweater. The sweater had a red and orange emblem in the top right corner, with a loin-looking creature rearing. This showed she was also in Gryffindor.
"Err...your name is Lily right?" James said, shoving his hands into his pockets.
The girl simply glanced over her shoulder and nodded, her green eyes glancing back at him briefly. "I'm uhh-"
"James, I know." She said softly and she began to walk a bit faster. "You're the one who always makes such a fuss in potions class."
"What can I say? I'm more of a...Charms type of guy." He said, as a joke.
"From what I know, you aren't too good in that class either." She obviously didn't get it.
They were now inside and James was trying to catch up with her suddenly she opened a door and wheeled around to look him straight in the face. "You don't want to come in here." She warned.
"Whys that?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.
He pushed past her and turned a bright shade of red when he saw a bunch of girls gathered around the sink. They shirked, "OUT!! EWWW!"
James ran out quickly and back to the tree, Lily laughing at him as he ran.
