James walked into the common room and spied Lily sitting on one of the
tables on the far side of the room. She had books spread around her on
the table as well.
"Oy, Lily!" He called.
"Oy, James!" she replied not glancing up from the book she was studying.
"Whatcha doin'?" he asked sitting in one of the arm chairs by the fire.
Putting down all his things from being outside practicing for the upcoming
quidditch game.
"Working.... which is what you should be doing... NOT flying around the
pitch practicing... AGAIN!"
"I'm just having a little fun."
Their conversation continued back and forth from opposite ends of the room
while the rest of the house either tried to ignore them or listened intently.
"Hey Lil, Yule ball next week.. ya wanna go with me?" James said off handedly.
"Sorry, can't."
The whole room was listening now.
"What was that?"
"I'm going with Sirius"
"Oh... you two pulling a Lancelot on me?"
"Yeah... and you're the once and future king!"
"OK..." he paused for a second from tending his broom and looked up. "Well you
are kidding? About going with Sirius I mean."
"NO I am ACTUALLY madly in love with him and not you." she said sarcastically.
"OK that's what I thought." He resumed work, polishing his broom handle.
Remus, who was in another corner of the room spoke up.
"James, you idiot, why don't you go over there and talk to her so the rest of us
can study?"
Sirius (in the fourth corner w/ Peter) answered for him: "Because some of
us think the conversation is quite interesting since all we've been doing all
afternoon is trying to get this dope--" (he pointed at Peter) "--to turn a
needle into a match!" Peter turned red.
"Peter, we did that first year. How can you not know how to do it?" Remus
asked.
"Anyway Lil... wanna go for have a snowball fight?"
"Why?"
"Look I am not an idiot... it's just hard!"
"Why, what?"
"You are pretty stupid though this is EASY!"
"Why should we go snowball fight?"
"Why do you guys always tease me?"
"What do you mean why? People don't snowball fight for a reason! They just
do!"
"'Cause your the easiest to tease!"
"James.. I'm studying"
"I am not!"
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"You are too!"
"James!!! Will you please shut your trap I can't hear Remus!" That was Sirius.
The whole common room was very interested in the conversation by now and were
waiting James' reply.
" Excuse me?"
"Shut up.. please" Sirius grinned as he added the last word.
James picked up the water bottle beside him and then pointed it at Sirius.
"I know I can't squirt that far... but if you tell me to shut up one more time,
I'm just gonna throw the whole damn thing at you!"
"And then I would be forced to put a full body bind on you." Sirius replied
still grinning.
"Never happen." James went into his cockiest head tilt.
"Oooo.... pray tell why not?"
"Cause I'd dodge it and shoot something at you to turn your hair green and
you nose inside out!"
"Dodge? Sounds like a duel.. are you challenging me?" Sirius said standing up as
if readying himself for the challenge.
"Maybe I am... why?" James said also standing, a smile starting to play over his
lips.
"Cause I wouldn't want to embarrass you with your girl over there..."
"Embarrass me? Your almost as bad as Remus... I'd beat you in a second."
Remus spoke up, "Hey! I resent that! I've beaten Sirius a good number of
times.. why just last week he was rolling on the floor--"
"Remus at least you're not as bad as Peter."
Peter jumped in. "See you're doing it again!"
"Doing what?"
"I've beaten you too James"
"Teasing me!"
"Yeah? when?"
"I already told you--"
"--that's not nice--"
"--did too!"
"--I can't believe--"
"GUYS!!!" Lily yelled. They all stopped talking and turned in her
direction. "What happens if you're late for detention?"
"More detention? Why?" Remus replied.
"Well, if today's Monday-- and it is-- then I assume you all have to be in the
trophy room... oh about five minutes ago." They four boys looked at each other
and sprinted from the room.
Everyone had started to get back to work when James stuck his head back into the
common room. "Oy, Lily, you still coming to the ball with me?"
He smiled the charming smile that he used on everyone to get his way. You
just couldn't say no to it. (Sirius in the background: "NO you prick she's
coming with me!")
"Course James." She replied. (Sirius in the background: "Damn... who the
hell am I gonna go with now?")
"Just checking," with that he grinned and was gone.
