Hello again. We saw that some people reviewed, so we decided to neglect our homework and write. Hope you like it!

The question answer is Herbert.


Lily

Beep! Beep! Beeeep! "Ugh Evelyn turn that bloody thing off!" Alice screamed. Evelyn lifted her head, looked at Alice, looked at her muggle alarm clock then put h

er head back down

"Mmph."Ev grumbled. "You do it."

"Ugh, too tired."

"Lils?" Evelyn asked innocently. Rolling my eyes I pulled out my wand and silenced the beeping machine.

Looking around me I found that Mary was still somehow asleep, Alice was curled into a ball squeezing her pillow tightly against her head, and Evelyn was laying face down on her bead.

"Okay girl, time to get up." I said while pulling open the curtains. Sun poured the room and moans came from the girls. "Come on it's almost 10:00. We need to go do something."

"Fine, but I'm going to need some caffeine." Ev stated.

"Me too." Alice agreed.

Suddenly Mary popped up from her sleeping position. "Good morning!" she cheered. How she manages to always do that I will never know. "So what are we doing today?"

"Errr I dunno." Evelyn said dumbly. She was right in saying she needed caffeine. She sounded like an idiot. "I would say we could go swimming at the muggle pool, but I don't have a bathing suit."

"Me either." Mary and I said together. Alice's eyes lit up.

"That's it! We'll go shopping. There's a shopping mall down the street isn't there?" She asked. Evelyn eyes lit up.

"Brilliant. Yes we'll do that."

Ten minutes later after we had ate some food and got dressed we left. Mary chattered about what kind of bathing suit she wanted while Alice, Evelyn, and I stared at Potter's house. Yes, James Potter's house is on the same street as Evelyn's. It's the one unfortunate thing about her home.

As far as we could tell the house looked empty. Good, no Marauders to bother us. I thought. We headed to a vacant alley at the end of the street where we apparated.

"So where should we go first?" Mary asked. We looked around at the various shops. Evelyn was of course interested in getting her swim suit. I fancied a visit to the book store. Mary wanted to look at the cute animals in the pet shop. Alice wanted to go the candy store.

"Well why don't we…"I trailed off. My friends stared at me confused before following my gaze. A few feet away stood none other than James Potter and his friends smiling and waving at us. This could not be happening.


James

Lily claims she doesn't want us to find her and follow her around but she makes it so bloody easy. We literally entered the muggle mall and they stood looking at the oversized map of the area at the front of the building. Sometimes it's just too easy.

"Hey there Evans! Fancy meeting you here" I casually greeted.

"What are you doing here Potter?" Lily said in her typical annoyed tone.

"To buy a new muggle alarm clock, you see Padfoot here got into a fight with mine earlier and now it's broken into pieces," I explained gesturing at Sirus who smiled and took a bow.

"And you just so conveniently happened to go to the same mall at the same time as us. Just a coincidence I assume?" Her emerald green eyes were drilling holes into my skin.

"Yes, you see there is only one shopping mall in town and you see we actually want to enjoy ourselves so best to get the shopping done early," I reasoned calmly.

"We just came for swim suits so we could go the local pool," Mary said excitedly.

"Mary! Go away before you say anything any more destructive!" Lily demanded absolutely livid. Mary with a look of shock ran off and Alice followed her. That's something I'll never get with girls if ones upset they can't be alone. I mean what could go wrong?

"Ugh look at what you made me do! Now I have to apologize to Mary she didn't mean to but then you just made me so angry that I snapped at her. Now if you excuse me I'll be on my way," Lily said taking off in the direction where Mary and Alice had disappeared to.

"What you're supposedly looking for is down that hallway so I expect none of you will be following us," Jensen said pointing her finger in the opposite direction in which she sprinted of.

"We know where they are going," Sirus said brightly. We did considering there was only one swimming pool.

"But we don't know when," Remus stated.

"We can find out but if either Sirus or I follow it'll be suspicious. It's up to you Moony I assume that at one point or another they will make a trip to the book shop and you can gather up information," I planned.

"Fine, but I'm only doing it because I wanted to go there anyways," he agreed and left the small cramped electronic store. I absent mindedly grabbed another black clock and went to pay for it. Then Sirus and I took a trip to the sweet shop for some chocolate as payment for Remus having to do all the work.


Remus

"Hello." A woman said kindly as I walked into the bookstore. I assumed she was the store's owner or manager.
"Hello." I replied before heading towards a shelf at the back of the store. I figured that being in the back behind all the other shelves would be the best place not to be seen. I looked around at the books hoping to find something decent. I found that I was in the romance section.

Books about forbidden love, new love, old love, and everything else stood on shelves around me. Of course of all the books it had to be romance. It made me think of James and his "plan" to get Lily.

"James…Sirius….ughhh." Suddenly I heard laughter. It was the girls.

"James is such an idiot." Lily stated. Her friends laughed and nodded in agreement. I watched as each girl pulled a book off the shelves and examined them.

"Well at least he'll never know that we're going swimming tomorrow." Mary said.

"Mary! Not so loud. He may not be here, but I wouldn't be surprised if he were somewhere near." Evelyn told her.

Well James isn't around…but he did send me. I thought. Spying on them made me feel like an awful person, but I made no effort to move.

"Oops sorry. Where's the cute little animal books?" Mary asked. The owner pointed to a shelf to her left.

"I think I'm going to go look at the romance novels back there."Lily started walking towards my hiding place. I started to panic. There was no way to leave without being seen. I quickly picked up the first book I saw. It was Pride and Prejudice. I opened it to a random page and started reading.

"Remus?" I heard Lily say. I lifted my head from the book to see her confused face. "What are you doing?"

"I'm er reading?" I stated. I lifted the book for her to see.

"Pride and Prejudice? Really?"

"Yeah. My mum likes it, so I thought I would try it."I told her. She didn't believe me, I could tell from her eyes.

"Remus…are you lying?"She inquired. I looked down at the book, back to her and then down again.

"I-I…no."She raised her eyebrows as if to say 'truth now.' "Er yes."

"What are you doing then?"

"James and Sirius sent me to spy on you girls." I explained. She glared at me a moment before laughing.

"Of course they did. Ugh well that's great…Remus I'm going to have to ask you to do something for me. You are going to go back to James and Sirius to tell them that we're going swimming in 2 days instead of tomorrow." She said. I nodded before mutely walking away.

"Ehem." I turned to see the owner woman staring at my hands. I was still holding Pride and Prejudice.

"Oh uh sorry." I handed her the book and payed for it with some muggle money. I would need something to keep me entertained while James and Sirius executed the rest of their "plan" anyways.

James and Sirius ran toward me right as I came out. "What did they saw? When are they swimming?"Sirius asked me.

"The day after tomorrow." I said. I must have looked like I was lying because James gave me a funny look.

"Really Remus?"James questioned.

"No…there going swimming tomorrow."

"Good job Moony!" Sirius congratulated. "We got you some chocolate."

I took the chocolate happily and we all headed back to James' house.


Sirius

The rest of the day came and went. Nothing important happened but I was told that under no circumstances could I touch the new clock. I was happy enough for that news because that bloody contraption was evil. During the evening James just talked and talked about Lily. I don't get it, she treated him so meanly but he was always forgiving her and following her like a faithful lap dog that just wanted to please everybody. Remus just read some muggle novel called Pride and Prejudice. I tried to ignore both and their comments of love and such while naming all spells I knew. I ended up repeating some.

The next morning we got up and decided to cook some eggs. James seemed very happy that there was no big mess or anything broken in his kitchen. We lounged about Prongs house. About noon we changed and after the four girls walked to the pool we decided the coast was clear so we walked there too. When we paid the entry fee because to do anything in the muggle world requires payment for some reason we picked a spot on some plastic white beach chairs. We spotted Jensen and Evans although I have to say they weren't hard to find considering Lily had bright red hair and Evelyn was wearing a bright pink bikini.

Lily stared at disbelief at Moony who hung his head low in response and then glared at Prongs and I. We both smiled and waved. This will be interesting I thought jumping into the cool water.


We hope to write more next weekend. Reviews please! New question is...pickles or olives?
