Summer Mayhem
James and Sirius are being forced to spend the summer at Lily's house. Everything ought to work out fine, right? Or maybe a series of mayhem might take place: Cureless mugglephobias, illegal quidditch, and dungbombs are nothing out of the ordinary.

Chapter 2: A Very Sirius Plan
"Now, boys, Lily will show you to the guestroom so you can unpack and then we'll have dinner." Mrs. Evans informed them as they unloaded the three heavy trunks from the car and took them inside.
"Great, I'm starving!" Sirius exclaimed, starting to rub his stomach.
Lily rolled her eyes at him and directed them to the stairs.
"This is where you two will be staying, do try leaving it the way it is now," she warned them with narrowing eyes.
"Not to worry, Lily-flower, I'll personally make sure of that," James told her with an air of a responsible guard in an important mission.
"Yeah, right," both lily and Sirius whispered. James frowned at him and started murmuring something about being able to handle it perfectly well.
"One minute at your house and we're already beginning to agree on things," Sirius told her, lying down on one of the two beds.
"Don't get used to it, it's bound to be the only time," Lily assured him, as she left the room.
James sighed as he sat on the other bed, looking rather grim.
"Come on, Prongs, what's the matter? You ought to be dancing around, full of happiness, imagining rainbows and teddy bears," Sirius asked, getting up and putting on his best goo-goo eyes.
"She speaks more to you than me, now spit it out, who'd you do it, mate?" He demanded.
"Relax. In case you didn't notice, it wasn't friendly talking. She hates my guts as much as she hates yours." Sirius reassured him.
"Well, yeah, but she ignores me completely. How am I supposed to be able to go out with her if she avoids talking to me all the time?" James asked him.
"Not to worry, Prongs, my mate. That's why you have me for; I have a plan that can't fail."
"Lily dear, could you pass the salad around?"
"Sure, mom," Lily answered as she took the big wooden bowl in front of her and passed it to James, who was sitting next to her. He took it from her, served himself without a word to her and then gave the salad to Sirius.
Lily lifted her eyebrows at him, but he ignored her and started eating.
What's his problem? Lily thought as she returned to her own salad. Potter would usually take up an opportunity like this to ask me out, tell me his crazy about me, or how beautiful he thinks I am.
"So, boys, Lily tells us you're both in the school quidditch team, sounds like an interesting game," Mr. Evans said.
"Yeah, it's great!" Sirius exclaimed.
"He's right, Sirius here plays Chaser and I'm Seeker," James told him, "there are three Chasers, two Beaters, one Keeper, and one Seeker, it's very interesting, really." He explained the rules to them and told them of several moves they were trying out.
"But you know nothing until you've seen it, you ought to come to the Electricity Stadium with us, muggle families invited," Sirius assured them with a huge grin.
Mrs. Evans laughed and answered, "Yes, that would probably be an unforgettable experience."
"You're going to love it, some of the best teams play there," James said and started ticking off an entire list of quidditch teams he admired.
So he talks to my parents, but not to me? She thought angrily as she twirled her fork in her salad.
"Lily dear, why haven't you eaten your salad, I thought you liked Italian?" her mother asked her worried.
"What?- Oh, it's nothing, I'm just not that hungry, I think I'll go to bed now," she said as she picked up her plate and took it to the kitchen.
"Sleep well, dear, good night," her father told her as she walked up the stairs.
"Yeah good night, everyone," Lily told them and they all answered back, all except for James, he just continued eating as if nothing had happened.
"That's it, I'm never doing that again," James told Sirius once they were alone in their room.
"Why not? It's going great," Sirius told him as he sat down on his bed and watched his best friend walk around the room.
"No, it's not!" he said, coming to an abrupt stop in front of Sirius, "that was horrible, how is ignoring her going to help me make her stop ignoring me!"
Sirius sighed. "That's easy, mate, she won't stand it, she's used to you constantly stalking her, if you suddenly stop, she won't know what happened and she'll crack and talk to you first."
James sat down on his bed and frown, thinking hard about what Sirius was saying.
"But what if it doesn't work?"
"Are you kidding, Prongs? Did you see her face when you ignored her at dinner? She was shocked! This is so going to work better than I imagined."
I'm so sorry this took so long to update, I've been having problems with my computer, but not to worry that seems to be a thing of the past. Hopefully, I'll have another chapter by next week.
Nevertheless, please review!
