disclaimer: im not JK Rowling, i dont own harry potter, blah blah blah.

on with the story !

Lily and her friends flooded into the Great Hall with the rest of the students. They sat down together around the middle of the Gryffindor table. The marauders sat a little ways closer to the front. Weird… thought Lily, normally they sit closer to the back… Lily just brushed off the thought and decided to focus in on the sorting. Lily never did listen to it, she just liked to watch. She hardly heard Professor McGonagal call out the names, but one name caught her attention.

"Haylee Potter!"

Potter? As in James' sister?

Lily was so confused by this.

Surely he didn't have a sister, she would've known…wouldn't she? But then again, why WOULD she know something like that?

Lily glanced over at the marauders, and found that James looked as if he was paying close attention to this particular student… So it IS his sister.

"GRYFFINDOR!"

James probably cheered the loudest out of all the Gryffindors. He watched as his sister sat down, and then he turned his attention back to the marauders. But not without glancing in Lily's direction, and caught her staring. Lily quickly looked away as her cheeks heated up.

Well, this is just greaaat. Now he probably thinks I was looking at HIM… which I was, but he probably got the wrong idea by it! I hope he didn't notice me blush….

"Yay! Prongsie has a relation in the Gryffindor house now!"

"Shut up Padfoot. You do realize how annoying she's going to be, don't you?"

"Yes. But let's not dwell on the negative!"

"Since when are you a… Moony, what's the word for someone who's not a pessimist?"

Remus didn't seem to hear his friends… He was too concentrated on his fellow prefect, Avery Brooks. He was thinking about how he was such an idiot for saying that to her… How could he not of thought twice about it? Looks like hanging out with James and Sirius was starting to rub off on him…

"MOONY! Are you even listening to me?"

"Hmm?"

James turned in the direction Remus just looked away from. A look of understanding came across his face as he realized Remus was probably looking at Avery… But why? James recalled what had happened on the train as Remus returned from the prefect meeting…

"Oi! Prongs give me back my chocolate frog!"

"YOUR chocolate frog? Last time I checked it was Wormtails!"

"So? Wormtail said I could have it!"

"He did not! Wormtail! Please tell Padfoot here that this chocolate frog is MINE."

"Uhh… It was mine, wasn't it?"

"YES YOU BLOODY IDIOT! Prongs here stole it from you, but you said I could have it, remember?"

"Sorry Padfoot, I don't remember… maybe you should just let Prongs have it?"

"WHATEVER. We both know your lying Wormtail."

Just then Remus entered the compartment looking a little shocked.

"Prongs, Padfoot… It's all your fault. And wormtail, lay off the cauldron cakes, will you? I don't think you're giving Shite any reasons to like you when you eat like THAT."

The three boys exchanged confused looks. It was silent for a couple minutes until Sirius decided to ask the one thing everyone was thinking:

"What the bloody hell was that, Moony?"

"What was what?"

"Don't play dumb you filthy little… nevermind."

"I'm not playing dumb, and I'm going to ignore that last part."

"Would you care to explain yourself then?"

"Umm… Not really, no."

"Prongs, Wormtail, I think its high time for some truth or dare… Marauder style! What do you think!"

"Well, seeing as Moony probably won't tell us any other way, HELL YEAH. Wormtail?"

"Uhh… sure?"

"ALRIGHT! Its settled then. Tonight, Gryffindor Common Room… Be there."

So something obviously happened between Remus and Avery… but what? Oh well, there isn't too much time left to ponder this… They would all know by the end of tonight.

"What's the word that's like pessimist but isn't?"

"Uhh… Optimist?"

"YES! That's it! So since when did you become such a Optimist, Padfoot? Normally you're the one who DOES dwell on the negative… or at least tell us the dark side of things."

"Pfft… since when am I an optimist or a pessimist? I'm the in between. You should know that."

"Yeaaah… ok then."

"Wait… what are we talking about?" A very confused Peter asked.

"Wow Wormtail… you really are dimwitted, you know that?"

"So you've said Prongs… but I don't fully understand the definition of "dimwitted"."

"Moony! Tell Wormtail what dimwitted means!"

"Later Padfoot… I'm busy."

"With what?"

"….Thinking."

"That's all you ever do! Doesn't your brain get tired?"

"Nope. Now shut up, let me think."

"Whatever you say Moony… Prongs, why is Wormtail so dimwitted that he doesn't even know what dimwitted means?"

"I don't know Padfoot… Why don't you ask him yourself?"

"I'll pass."

"Ok, you do that."

Then they all stopped talking to listen to Dumbledore's "start-of-the-school-year-speech-that-everyone-has-memorized-by-now-and-don't-find-interesting-what-so-ever" as James thought of it. Mainly they just waited anxiously for the food to appear so they could eat. After the feast, they headed up to the Gryffindor common room, and Remus had a look of foreboding on his face.

Remus hoped that his friends had forgotten about truth or dare, but they probably didn't… but maybe Sirius had been so distracted by the food that he forgot! Maybe, with some stroke of luck, they all forgot and were either too tired to play, or just wanted to hang out without doing anything in particular.

But all those were foolish thoughts - and proved to be wrong rather quickly, for the second they set foot in the dormitory, Peter asked the unthinkable question.

"So, who has the veritaserum?"

"I sure as hell don't. Prongs? Moony?"

"Nope. Moony?"

"No, I figured you guys would seeing as you brought up all this in the first place…"

"How do we know he isn't lying? Maybe he's just trying to get out of explaining his ODD behavior to us! Wormtail, search his trunk. Padfoot, help Wormtail open Moony's trunk. We have some investigating to do!"

And with that, they were throwing poor Remus' belongings all over the dormitory. Unfortunately, Remus knew that he had some… and that they were bound to find it sooner or later what with their determination. A couple minutes passed in silence, until James leaped about 5 feet into the air with a triumphant expression on his face, similar to one you would see on a five year olds on Christmas morning.

"YESSSS! I told you all Moony was lying!"

"Yes, Prongs. I was lying. Can we all move on in life now?"

"Yes. We can. TO THE COMMON ROOM." Sirius bellowed, probably scaring the living day lights out of the little first years down in the common room as he leaped down the stairs and crashed onto one of the couches, narrowly missing some innocent second years. Fortunately, they were smart enough to vacate the area before James jumped onto the other couch. Peter made his way to the arm chair, and Remus sat on the floor. No surprise there.

"Alright, are we taking this with something or just plain veritaserum?"

"Just plain veritaserum. Its easier, and we don't have that much time."

"Ok, we shall heed Moonys advice. So is this just us, or are we including others?"

All of them sat there in thought, when James came up with an answer.

"I know! We play just as us, but we include other people in the dares… meaning that a dare can involve us doing something to an innocent bystander."

"PRONGS you're a genius! OK! So we shall start the distributing of the "miscellaneous potion" with Moony. Please make sure you take an equal amount, we can't have unleveled effects of the potion on us. That just wouldn't be fair."

So they passed it around, each having a shot glass to put some into and then drank it. They sat there for a minute, taking in their surroundings… aka who was still in the common room, and how many people there were. James noticed immediately that Lily was still here, along with Taylor, Avery, and Mia.

"Ok, so who starts?" Remus asked as he finally accepted the fact that he would have to tell them sooner or later…

"Prongs! Truth or dare?" Sirius instinctively yelled out, causing everyone in the common room to turn and look at them all with suspicious eyes. James was hyper-actively aware that Lily would watch this, and he hoped he wouldn't have to do something super embarrassing… but knowing Sirius, he probably would.

"Dare." James answered hesitantly. He figured doing something as a dare wouldn't be near as bad as letting everyone hear him admit something.

Sirius sat there, as if in deep thought. Fortunately, people just resumed to whatever the hell they were doing and stopped paying them any attention.

"I dare you to go kiss Evans." Sirius said with a smirk.

James heart nearly exploded inside his chest.

YES. Finally, I can kiss her without looking like a COMPLETE idiot! Hopefully I don't die after this though… it would ruin all my plans.

James quickly got up off the couch, and scanned the room for Lily. She had her back turned to him, so this meant that the second she turned around he could quickly plant one on her. Yes, that was his brilliant plan. Only problem was that her friends would probably point him out to her before he could get a chance to do such a thing.

James took a deep breath, and started towards Lily. His friends watched with amused eyes, wondering what was about to happen… as in how would Lily react.

James quickly closed the last 5 feet and took a deep breath before tapping her on the shoulder. Lily turned around and lost her smile when she saw it was only James. Before Lily had a chance to react, James kissed her. James mind exploded.

I'm kissing Lily Evans. And she isn't doing anything to stop me. This definitely is a historic moment, something to be remembered. I will never forget the feel of her lips on mine, her vanilla lip gloss, and her strawberry scented hair.

James took one more moment to memorize this moment, then he pulled away with a smirk on his face. Lily just stood there, looking like a deer in headlights. James knew that she had kissed him back, and he had an irresistible urge to go announce his victory through all of Hogwarts. But instead, he just went back to his friends and sat down with a dreamy look on his face.

"Prongs… Prongs? You there? ….. PRONGS?"

"What?"

"It's your turn mate."

"Oh… Wormtail, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"Explain your feelings towards Mia Shite to us, please."

"Umm… well… I, uh… there's a, uh…. Possibility…. That I kind of… fancy her?"

At this, Sirius was unable to restrain his laughter. Shortly after, James joined in, and so did Remus. They were all full out laughing, and Peter was just sitting there with an expression somewhere between humiliation and shock. It was quite a comical look, James had to admit.

"Well…" breathed James, "Your turn Wormtail."

"Padfoot… truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to try to go up the girls staircase."

"Really? That's it? Ok then…"

Sirius slowly got up, looking a little disappointed with his failure of a dare. Especially since he knew the outcome of it. He got a couple stairs up, but then came sliding back down and he took his respectful seat.

"Wow. That was lame. Anyways, Moony! Truth or dare?"

Remus sighed. He knew he would have to tell them eventually, so he figured he would just get it over and done with.

"Truth."

"What happened today on the train? With Brooks?"

"Um.. well…" Remus shifted uncomfortably. " We both were walking back in the same direction, and she asked me how my summer was, I said it was fine and asked her how hers was. She said it was good, she said she had met a lot of interesting witches and wizards, but that she missed her friends. And then I said "that's cool" and she just slightly nodded her head. Then, without me even thinking twice about it, I asked her out… sort of. As I realized what I said, I apologized, for what I'm not really sure, and walked quickly away. So I blame my unthinking actions on YOU TWO."

Remus looked pointedly at James and Sirius, who tried their best to look innocent.

"How is it our fault?" James asked, with an amused smirk on his face.

"How? Oh I don't know, maybe because you ask girls out every single day without thinking about it! So clearly, you and Padfoot's habits have rubbed off onto me, and now I'm doomed."

"You're not doomed. What if Brooks would've said yes, if not for your abrupt apology and awkward walk away."

"There's no way she would've. She and her friends have made it very clear since first year that they hate us… and that we hate them. Except for James' obsession with Lily…"

"Hey! It's not an obsession…"

"Whatever. She wouldn't have said yes, I just know it."

And with that, Remus left and went to the boys dormitory. Peter also left, and Sirius said he was hungry so he was going down to the kitchens. James decided he would also go to the dormitory, and as he left he glanced over in Lily's direction to find that she was looking back. She blushed and looked away, clearly hoping that he didn't notice.

So that's the second time I've caught her staring today… and the third time she's blushed while looking at me. And she also didn't stop me from kissing her. First day back and I'm definitely winning her over. James thought with a smile as he ran his hand through his black, already messy-enough-as-it-is hair, and walked up the stairs to the boys dormitories.

well... i hope you liked it ! R&R please ! 8)
