Story Of Us Chapter Four
It was amazing how much one summer could change a person. It seemed as though every guy in their year had grown up in some way. Not only did James, Sirius and Remus all looked older, but acted older too. Their maturity levels had risen (and their voices had lowered.) Poor Peter still stood practically a foot shorter than the rest, but he too seemed more mature than when he had left.
A month flew by, then two, then three and before any of them new it, Christmas vacations were upon them. "I absolutely cannot believe that Professor Lutmen would give us homework on Christmas vacation," Jackie shrieked for the thousandth time. "Relax Jack," Remus said, " I already told you I'd help you out." " But it's on werewolves! Who knows anything about werewolves, we never even studied them!" James and Sirius, who were playing chess looked up nervously in Remus' direction. "Eh, don't worry, we'll just visit the library or something." Remus quickly stammered. "So what's everyone up to anyways over break?" Lily asked. She and Maggie were sitting in the over-stuffed armchair flipping through a catalogue. "Same old." Sirius replied. "What is that you guys are looking through?" "It's a Victoria Secret catalogue," said Maggie. Hearing those words the boys flew up from their game and pounced on the armchair. "Hey." James said disappointedly, "They're wearing clothes!" "Of course they are!" said Lily hitting the boys with the catalogue. "This is their winter catalogue. You can order clothes and stuff from them. For example, see this wonderful sweater here, I think I might just order it!" "But Lily," said Maggie " those have to come all the way from the United States! That would cost you like, a hundred dollars!! American!!" "I know, but it's a little gift to myself." "Besides," said James from the floor where he had been swatted to, "she'll look awesome in that colour." "Oh. well thanks James." Lily said her cheeks slowly flushing. Maggie, catching the change of colour in Lily's cheeks stood up. "Well Lil, Jack, you guys think it's about time to head off to bed?" she said this very loudly and very obviously, slowly pronouncing each word as if she were implying something. "Oh, yes!" Jackie said quickly "Yup, Maggie I do think you're right. It is most definitely time for us to go upstairs to our bedroom." She looked at Lily. "Am I missing something?" Lily asked? "Why are you guys talking like that?" "Talking like that? Who's talking differently at all? Not us!" "Nope not us, we're being totally normal! Lily lets go!" Maggie and Jackie started up the stairs, with a very confused Lily trailing behind. "What was that about?" Peter asked as soon as the girls were gone. "I'm not sure, but did you see the colour Lily's face turned when James complimented her? Hey Jamesey boy, did you notice that?" Sirius threw a pillow at James' head, which hit him square in the face. "Eh, no.I, um, noticed, ah Lily? Eh nope?" James answered bewilderly (a/n - a real word? We'll say yes)
