Chapter one: Monday
Thank you so much for taking time to review this little bit! And I'm sorry if some readers saw this story but couldn't actually read it. I had some technical difficulties, and I had to delete this three times.
"What do you think?"
"I think you're crazy."
"Thanks for your support, Padfoot."
"You're very welcome."
James shot daggers at his supposedly best mate. "Moony?"
"Er…it's fine."
"Wormtail?"
"I think it's great!"
"Thank you. Someone here appreciates fine work." James said smugly.
"Hate to bring you down mate, but Peter had gotten a Troll on the last potions test."
"Hey! I hadn't studied for that test!"
"Shut up! I think it's great. I think it's lovely!" James exclaimed
The four of them stared at the corner of the room.
"I think it's great!" James exclaimed again holding up a teddy bear. "You guys just aren't true romantics. Sirius jumps girls every week or so, Remus is too busy with his 'furry little problem' and Peter…well…he's Peter."
They didn't look too happy at James's little speech. "Look, you guys, I really like Lily." His voice softened.
"Fine, but get rid of the wig." Remus pointed at the Teddy bear.
It was soft and fluffy, with green eyes, a jean skirt, a white t-shirt with a big red heart, and topped with a red wig.
"It looks like a clown with the wig" Sirius agreed.
"I thought it was cute." James ripped off the wig.
"You think a teddy bear is gonna win her?" Remus raised his eyebrows.
"It was YOUR idea!"
"Well then, I guess it's alright."
"I'll put some chocolate cauldrons in too." James took some chocolate form his stash.
"You didn't slip love potions in them, did you?"
"No time for joking, Sirius!"
"Who said I was joking?"
Remus rolled his eyes at that. "So are you gonna walk up to Lily and say, here have a teddy bear that I tried to model after you?"
"No" said James, then he looked at his friends. "I was hoping you could help me with that."
"Sure, I'd love to drive in hearts and sing for Lily while giving her this beautiful gift from you."
"Could you?"
"Not in this lifetime. I'm glad that I won't need teddy bears and chocolate to win girls. I'm just naturally good-looking."
"And your ego is naturally ten times the size of your big head."
"You talk a lot."
"I think we should get to breakfast. I'm starved." Peter squeaked.
James looked into the mirror, put on his glasses.
"Oh, wait you forgot something." Sirius said as he walked over and messed up his friends' hair.
James looked straight into his eyes, and then took a comb and then quickly brushed it.
Sirius gasps and Remus start laughing.
"REMUS WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING! LILY IS BRAINWASHING PRONGS HERE!"
"That's my comb, James."
"And thanks for letting me use it, dear Moony."
Sirius started shaking James. "ARE YOU OKAY IN THERE?"
"STOP SCREAMING!"
"MY BEST MATE IS BRAINWASHED!"
"PADFOOT!" James took his cheeks and squashed his together, like a fish. "I think Lily likes it better…not messy.
"Ah, bloody hell! She has brain-washed you. You've been messing your hair ever since I saw you on that Hogwarts train, when Snivelly and Evans left, and two (very pretty) second years sat down by us."
"Wow. Good times."
"Speaking of good old Snivelly, guess what I did to the Slytherin table?"
"You pulled a prank without me?" James said with mock hurt.
"Well I did ask! Remember when I said, hey Prongs, you wanna pull a prank. And you said, oh no Padfoot, I'm too busy worrying whether I should put a blue heart on the bear or a red heart, and you are so smart and handsome and better at pranks, you can do a prank without me"
"Strange enough, I don't remember that conversation."
"Well, lets just say when the Slytherins sit down; they will start to feel as if their pants are shrinking…."
"I wasn't part of that prank by the way," Remus butted in.
"Yeah. It was solo effort."
"So was this teddy bear."
"Uh you guys? Breakfast started fifteen minutes ago."
They all headed towards the door.
"How am I supposed to get this stinking thing to Lily? I can't just walk up to her…"
"Mary!" Sirius yelled to a pretty blonde sitting by Lily. It was obvious she had a crush on him.
"Hi Sirius!" She chirped.
"Hi Mary. Can you do me a favor?"
"Sure!"
"Well, could you give this," he took the bear and chocolate out of James's arms. "to Lily please? Say it's from James."
"Oh, of course! That is so sweet!" Mary grabbed the stuff, and went back to her seat. She showed her friend the bear. They started giggling.
"Why do girls giggle? It makes things way too confusing!"
"One of life's greatest mysteries. Have you noticed Mary is super hyper? She's kinda cute, just really hyper…"
But James wasn't listening. He was carefully watching Lily. She looked at him, and waved a little.
"Psst!! Padfoot, she waved!"
"Great. When's the wedding?"
"I think I need to dazzle her. Any suggestions? Moony. Your teddy bear plan worked pretty great."
"Yeah, who would've thought?"
"I probably should think of another idea…make Lily love me…"
After taking a seat, and about a dozen mini pumpkin muffins, something popped into James's mind.
"Hey Padfoot, when do they start shrinking?"
"Huh?"
"The pants!"
"I think soon…"
His thoughts were interrupted with shrieks. All of them seemed to be coming form the Slytherin table. James and Sirius laughed at the pain over pants to small.
"And Padfoot?"
"Yes Prongs?"
"When do they stop shrinking?
"I think when they rip." He smiled.
Sirius tuned around after feeling a sharp pike on his back.
"I suppose this was all your doing?"
"Hiya, Professor M!" He said cheerfully.
