It was late in the morning when Lily awoke, but everyone else was still sleeping. She quietly shifted, pulling her body out from under Sirius' dead weight and James's muscular arms. Tip-toe-ing quietly up the stairs, Lily turned back to look at the four boys' sleeping forms and laughed to herself at how they slept. Sirius had his head on the armrest of the sofa and was sucking his thumb. James had his arms around Sirius' leg and look as though he was holding on for dear life. Remus had moved to the armchair sometime in the middle of the night and was curled up in a fetal position, occasionally reaching up and scratching his right ear. Peter, who still resembled Petunia Evans, was still sitting but had leaned forward and fallen asleep with his face on the floor and was snoring loudly. Covering her mouth to keep from laughing out loud, Lily ran upstairs and took a shower, re-appearing in the common room half an hour later. The boys were still sleeping but Remus was starting to wake.
"Lily?" Remus asked sleepily.
"Yea Remi?"
"Come here" he said as he shifted over in his armchair. She padded over softly to him and perched herself on the arm of the chair.
"What is up?" she whispered.
"Do you think you are happier now? I mean, now that you are dating James?"
"Yea, I think I am because when I am with him I feel that nothing in my life could go wrong. That for once everything in my life is going the right way. Strangely enough right? I was shocked myself that I have feelings for him, because we never really got along that well, we were always pulling pranks on each other and stuff." Lily was known to have a pretty rough family life. Her parents were always working or at dinner parties so she was forced to spend her summer with her horrid muggle sister, Petunia. "Every time I am with him I feel butterflies in my stomach."
"I'm very happy for the both of you. We were all surprised James got his crap together and realized his feelings for you. He was taking so long we were going to put the imperious curse on him to get him started." He chuckled but stopped when he heard Sirius snort and shift himself so he could sit up.
"JAMES! I think Remus is flirting with your girl!" Sirius yelled into the still sleeping James' ear. James jumped and looked around, wondering what caused his abrupt return to consciousness. His eyes fell upon Lily and Remus talking together quietly in a nearby armchair. He turned and scowled at Sirius and then proceeded to get up.
"Do you think we should, uhh, wake up Peter?" James asked. Remus, Sirius and Lily grinned.
""No, I think we should let him, eh, get his beauty sleep." Lily giggled. They all agreed and moved to go towards the portrait hole but stopped after Lily pointed out their lack of proper clothing. 15 minutes later they were back and ready to eat lunch. The group walked down the corridor, joking and laughing loudly but Lily and James stayed behind a little to talk.
"We are still going together tonight, right?" James asked quietly.
"What's the matter James? A little nervous?" Lily replied teasingly.
"No, it's just, I want to make sure and to ask you what time you wanted me to meet you?" He replied in what he thought a calm voice.
"Ummm… how about I'll meet you on the stairs at 6:30?"
"Great." They walked into the great hall, which had just fallen silent. They looked around wildly, wondering why everyone was staring at them, but then they saw Peter. Apparently he forgot what Sirius had done to him the night before and decided to get some lunch.
"Uhh, Wormtail, I think you forgot something." Sirius said with a laugh. Peter looked down and screamed, finishing his performance by running out of the hall and up to the hospital wing. Everyone stared, wondering what just happened and who that ugly girl was. Sirius, seizing the opportunity to embarrass Peter a little more said, "Peter Pettigrew will return shortly, he forgot to powder his nose." And with that he took his usual seat at the Gryffindor table, the other is tow amid hearty gales of laughter. As soon as most of the students were seated and enjoying a luscious lunch of roast turkeys, salads and pasta, Dumbledore stood and cleared his throat.
"Ahem, Ladies and gentlemen, if I may have your attention for one minute please. As you all know tonight is the ball. It will begin at 7pm, dress robes will be worn." If the teachers thought the volume in the great hall was loud before, it was nothing compared to the burst of noise filling the hall now. The Marauders did not seem to notice this announcement for they were too busy planning their snowball right and discussing strategies. Lily was to busy staring at the ceiling which was cool gray color with dark storm clouds emitting white flakes of snow. But she was soon pulled into the conversation.
"Okay, Lily, pay attention, we are making teams." Sirius commanded. Lily glared at him.
"Ok, the teams are… James and Lily and the other team is me and Sirius." Remus added with an air of great excitement. They all moved to stand up but sat back down when the realized Lily was still eating. James gave her the bambi eyes while Sirius and Remus both pulled their best sad puppy faces at her and asked her to finish eating.
I wonder where the 3 of them learned to make those adorable faces so well? That is something I will have to find out…
"Okay, I'm done!" Lily said loudly. James got up, grabbed her arm and ran out the door with Sirius and Remus in tow. When they finally reached the doors to the grounds they stopped running and Lily reached up her hand to open the door and slowly pulled the door open. But it was not fast enough for Sirius who started jumping up and down like a little kid saying "Lils, pulease! Hurry Up!" in a little kid voice. Only when the sad puppy face showed up did she pull the door open all the way. Sirius bounded out the door and rolled down the steps into the snow. With a well-placed charm from Lily he kept rolling in the snow until he resembled a 6-foot wide snowball with Sirius' head sticking out the side. James, who was thinking along the same lines as Lily, pointed his wand at Sirius and muttered "Lightenus." He then walked over to Sirius and picked him up, or rather the white thing in Sirius' place and threw him at Remus, who in turn caught Sirius and threw him at Lily who ducked just in time so as to make Sirius smash against the large doors.
"Hey!" Sirius yelled at James and Remus.
"For that I am going to take Lily hostage. Don't move or she'll get it!" He yelled, scooping up some snow and grabbing Lily's arm. Before Sirius could finish his little outburst, James had whispered "Accio Lily!" and all Sirius could do was watch Lily zoom into James' arms.
"Oh, My hero!" Lily cried dramatically and threw her arms around James' neck.
