Chapter I: The Dare
"James, I'm going shopping for the baby. Now listen up, I just cleaned this house and I don't want you to bring anyone over here while I'm gone. Do you hear me?" Lily asked James while desperately trying to get his attention.
"Yes honey, I hear you," James replied. He wasn't really listening to her. He was busy listening to the latest Quidditch match.
"Well I won't be gone long. And remember you said you wouldn't bring anyone to the house." She glared in James' direction. "Bye." With that said, Lily Disapparated with a pop, leaving James alone in the kitchen.
"Bye. I love you sweetie," James said absentmindedly to the empty room.
Almost as soon as soon as Lily had gone, James' best friend, Sirius Black, Apparated into the spotless kitchen. "I thought she would never leave," Sirius said.
James jumped up and pulled out his wand, expecting an attack. "Don't do that Sirius!" he exclaimed as his heart beat began to return to normal.
Sirius ignored James' outburst. "Man is this place clean, too clean in my opinion," he said disapprovingly as he looked around. "Have Snow White and the seven dwarves visited recently?"
"That wasn't funny, and you only think this place is clean because you're used to living on the streets and eating out of garbage cans, you mangy mutt." James sniffed, slightly miffed with his friends attitude. "You know she's just a little touchy right now, being with child and all that crap."
Sirius just looked at James in complete and utter shock before he realized that James had been kidding. "Bloody hell man, you scared me for a minute there."
James smirked at his friend and turned around to shut off the radio, the Chudley Cannons had won. The Quidditch match was over, and they had nothing better to do than rummage around the newly organized kitchen looking for something other than baby food to eat.
"Is she planning to feed an army of babies or what?" Sirius complained after ten minutes of unsuccessful searching. "What are the three of us supposed to eat? She better not expect us to eat this mush!" he exclaimed.
"Three of us? Last time I checked it was just Lily and I living here!" James said with a laugh.
"Fine, if you don't want me to stay here I'll just leave," Sirius replied as he turned to leave. He made it all the way to the kitchen door before realizing that James wasn't going to stop him. In fact, James was still standing beside the sink with his arms crossed over his chest and an amused look on his face.
"I knew you wouldn't leave," James said with a smile as Sirius sat down at the table. Sirius grumbled something inaudible.
After a few more minutes of fruitless searching, James joined Sirius at the table.
"I'm bored," Sirius complained the minute James sat down. James nodded in agreement.
"I know! Lets go look through Lily's stuff," Sirius was already up and running toward
Lily and James' room when the impact of this statement hit James.
"NO!" James screamed while jumping up from the table and racing after Sirius.
As he entered his room, Sirius was just opening the closet door. He began pawing through the neat and tidy stacks of clothes and photo albums. Lily's stuff was thrown every which way in his mad race to find something to amuse himself with.
James just stood there with a nervous look on his face. Every now and then, he peered over his shoulder in fear that Lily would show up and throw a tantrum at the mess. It was at one of these moments that Sirius emerged holding a pair of Lily's red heels.
"How does she walk in these things?" he asked; an amazed look on his face. He attempted to put his feet in the heels, but found that they hung over the edge by a good three inches. He tried to walk, but hadn't gone an inch when he tripped and landed on the floor with a thud, a tangled mess with two bright red points sticking out. At the sight of this, James collapsed onto the bed in a laughing fit.
"Stop laughing, it's not funny!" Sirius said in an irritated sort of voice as he picked himself up off the floor.
"I…can't!" James managed to get out between bursts of laughter. Sirius took off the heels and threw them at James in an attempt to get him to stop. Unfortunately, it only made things worse.
"That, was the funniest thing I have ever seen!" James exclaimed as he finally stopped laughing. "Well, actually that time in our seventh year when we put farting powder in all of the Slytherin Quidditch players underwear was pretty funny. Remember? The whole team was farting the entire match. Ha, ha, ha those were the good old days. Man, do I miss them too," he said with a reminiscent look on his face.
"Yeah, as I seem to remember, we got detention for two weeks because of that little stunt. Oh well, it was so worth it. The looks on their faces." James smiled. Sirius replied with a look almost identical to James'. They stood quiet for a while, lost in the past. Then Sirius broke the silence with a laugh.
"What do you think of a little game of dare Prongs?" Sirius asked with the evil grin that James knew all to well.
"Well, that all depends on whether or not it involves me messing up the house. I think Lily said something about it being clean earlier, but I can't remember ..." James was eager to have a little fun after all he had been through with Lily these last few months. Seeing as she was pregnant and all, she was very prone to mood swings.
"Before I tell you Prongs, you have to promise me that you'll do it no matter what it is. Even if its running down Diagon Alley butt naked. Is that clear?" he said to James with a completely different attitude, a serious one. James wasn't used to Sirius speaking so seriously.
"Perfectly, Padfoot. Clear as crystal, now hurry up and tell me what it is," James said eagerly, although he was starting to get a little nervous. He was never one to back out on a dare, but Sirius was known for coming up with some pretty good ones. Plus, he wasn't as young as he used to be. He was married, and he was going to be a dad.
"Okay, so what you have to do is this. You have to wear these red heels," he said; indicating the heels he had attempted to walk in. "While singing the song Red High Heels. It's by my favorite Muggle singer, Kellie Pickler. Oh, and before I forget, you have to dance too," Sirius informed James, smirking evilly.
"Is that all?" James asked. He was surprised, not that it wasn't a good dare or anything, it just wasn't what he was expecting. He had expected something like pretending to be a crazed maniac while running up and down the streets of Hogsmeade. That was the kind if thing that they usually dared each other to do.
"Wait, if I have to do a dare you have to do one too, after I complete mine of course. Deal?" James asked.
"Deal," Sirius replied looking extremely excited.
