Chapter 6: The Feast

Thanks to the Reviewers!

Lily POV

The rest of the train ride was uneventful. All us girls pigged out on candy on the other side of the compartment far from the boys and then we slept as soon as our sugar high left us.

Most people at Hogwarts didn't have clue who I was which I find very odd since I figured many should have heard about what happened to me back in 2nd year. Fellow Gryffindors in 6 and 7 years smiled and said it was great to have me back which made me smile. I really didn't have a clue who most of the people who were talking to me except Alice Jynks. Alice smiled at us and called us over to sit with her.

"Lily! I can't believe your back! We have so much to catch up on!" Alice squealed as she hugged me.

"Yah I know! Its weird being back though everyone is watching me it's really awkward." I replied looking around nervously.

"Lily firstly you've been gone for 4 years, secondly you are sitting with the most popular girls in 7th year, and thirdly you are drop dead gorgeous who wouldn't want to look at you?" Alice said laughing while I was trying to hide my blush from the last one.

The Marauders sat down close to us and they were instantly surrounded by girls we all look at each other and rolled our eyes. What gets me is why all the girls love Potter. I get why they like Sirius and Remus, but I don't get why they like Potter.

"How was your summer Alice?" Ella asked.

"Great! You remember Frank?" Alice asked.

"No I have no idea who Frank is you just couldn't stop talking about him last year and he is my brother!" Lizzy said sarcastically. Alice blushed and I couldn't help but laugh again.

"He asked me out and now where dating!" She answered excitedly.

"I can't believe it!" Ella squealed.

"I know and it turns out he was crushing on me all last year too!" Alice said dreamily.

"I could have told you that!" Lizzy mumbled. "All he ever talked about was you. How pretty you were and he would keep asking me questions about you it got annoying."

"That's great Alice! I know Frank is really nice I'm happy for you." I said happily as we all ignored Lizzy's comments.

"How about you Lily do you have a boyfriend after all these years?" Alice asked.

"Don't get her started." Lizzy giggled.

"Lizzy!" Ella said laughing "That was rude."

"Yah I do his name is Charlie we've been going out for a year now!" I answered smiling ignoring Ella and Lizzy again.

James POV

Lily has a boyfriend! They've been going out for a year! I can't believe it and Remus and Sirius didn't tell me about it! Ever since I saw her walk through the compartment door I've I been trying to come up with a way to get her to like me as a friend at least. Now I know that it was a waste of time since she is happy with Charlie! Ugh Charlie I hate that name and I hate him. I just wish the prank never happened and that maybe we could be friends or more.

"Why does everyone have to stare at them?" I pointed out as I was looking at Lily and her group. "Even Slytherins are checking them out!"

"I don't like it either Lily is like a little sister to me!" Remus stated.

"Are you sure it's just Lily? Or is there someone else too?" Sirius questioned and Remus blushed and looked away. Both Sirius and I already knew that Remus liked Ella we just liked to tease him.

Sirius POV

I think I should yell that Remus likes Ella for everyone in the great hall to hear me. Oh Fck 1st years are coming in with McGonagall! I love Minnie and all but now the moment for me to yell is gone! Ugh all the girls keep playing with my hair. No one is allowed to touch my hair!

Remus POV

Why do I keep hearing a growl? Where is it coming from? As I turned around I chuckled girls were playing with Sirius' hair boy were those girls going to get it! I nudged James who was still looking at Lily and when he turned around he was glaring at me and then he saw Sirius and laughed with my. Uh OH we've been caught Sirius sees us laughing!

Sirius POV

These girls don't have a clue! I keep telling them to leave me alone and they just giggle! Ugh 5th years! While I'm trying to fight off giggling girls those bastards are laughing at me and not even trying to help! Finally those stupid girls got the point and got off of me just before the sorting was finished and Dumbledore was about to say the magic words so our prank could start and food would fill our plates so we could eat.

"I know you guys are starving…" Dumbledore started. James, Remus, Peter and I just looked at each other with huge grins on our faces "… so tuck in."

As soon as Dumbledore said tuck in fireworks exploded everywhere from the Slytherin table making them jump and run away from the table. Right when they thought it was safe to sit back down again the fireworks went off again. This continued for another 10 minutes. Everyone was laughing Dumbledore was smiling and his eyes were twinkling. Even Minnie was smiling at us. I couldn't believe it even Lily was laughing the only ones who weren't laughing were the Slytherins and Slughorn.

Lily POV

The fireworks were hilarious I couldn't help but laugh. That is until the "Grand Finale" with Snape and Malfoy snogging. That was gross, disgusting and down right cruel.

James POV

"Lily actually laughed!" I grinned as I told the Marauders.

"At the beginning yes, but not at the end" Peter grumbled.

"Oh shut up Peter!" We all yelled at him.

"Now that the excitement is over…" Dumbledore looked at us smiling "… let's eat!"

"Aren't they going to get in trouble?" Snape snorted.

"Who would get in trouble there is no proof who did that umm… display." Dumbledore replied.

"Of Course the Marauders did it!" Malfoy stated. As we were trying to control our laughs from coming out as he spoke.

"We'll try to find out who did ok?" Dumbledore said half caring "Now let's feast!"

Lizzy POV

"The Marauders did that? You think they grow out of that phase by now!" Lily fumed.

"Lily calm down they've all grown up a lot especially James, why don't you just give him a chance?" I pleaded.

"No, I have Charlie! He's funny…" Lily started.

"Athletic, hot, cute, nice hair, great butt…" Ella interrupted.

"…and above all drum roll please he is so sweet." I laughed as I cut in. "But all joking aside. We haven't even met him yet Lily and I want to make sure he is good for you."

"Don't worry you'll meet him before the year is through and you'll love him." Lily stated as she smiled at us.

"Okay, Lily if you say so." Ella said as she rolled her eyes.

"Where did Alice go? I just noticed she left." I stated.

"She's talking to James about the Quidditch World Cup, since they went to see it and they got her a autograph from Jinks Hinkograph." Ella answered.

"Really that is so cool!" I said as I looked over towards the Marauders and saw Alice jumping up and down. Then I saw Sirius looking at me. My god he's so annoying and to think I use to like him.

Remus POV

"Thanks guys! I can't believe you did this for me!" Alice screamed.

"No problem." James laughed, "How is Frank he told us he finally asked you out!"

"He's great! He told me Auror training is harder than he thought but he's getting train by the best. Well not Moody but the guy that is just under him I think his name is Gung Largott or something." Alice answered.

"Yah next year we'll join him because I really want to help stop that son of a bitch Voldemort!" James growled.

"Of course we'll stop him!" Sirius said as he put his arms around James and me.

"Yah of course we will!" I yelled which surprised myself.

"That's the spirit Moony!" James exclaimed.

"Okay well thanks again I'm gonna go back to sit with the girls by." Alice said as she started to walk away.

"Tell Frank the Marauders say hi!" Sirius yelled.

"Yah I will!" Alice said looking back.

"Sirius?" James started as Alice was back sitting with the girls.

"What?" Sirius yelled.

"Why do you keep looking at Lizzy? Do you have a crush? Sirius Longbottom, I love the ring to it." James teased.

"I'm looking at Lily making sure no one bugs her and why would I like Lizzy she's an airhead. Even if we did get married it would be Black still not Longbottom." Sirius growled.

"Touchy!" James snorted. "Look at all the vegetables they smell so good! Oh my God they have Caesar salad! I love Caesar Salad."

"James just because stags love this food means you should!" Sirius said as he pigged out on the meat that was on his plate and then started chewing on the bones.

"Look who's talking!" I laughed.

"Shut up!" Sirius snapped.

"I think he has his monthly friend today he has been very grumpy ever since we got on the train." James laughed.

"What did you say?" Sirius yelled.

"Oh nothing." James stated coolly.

"He said you have your monthly friend whatever that means." Peter mumbled.

"Thanks Peter at least I have 1 loyal friend here." Sirius smiled triumphantly then his eyes widened and he finally got what James meant. "What! James that isn't funny. What is with you today? I'm no girl!" Everyone turned around who heard this display couldn't help, but laugh at the scene. I just pretended to read so no one could see me laughing.

Ella POV

"What are they doing now?" I asked irritated looking over at the scene with the Marauders and then saw Alice had returned already.

"No idea." Alice replied.

"Who really knows probably Black finally came out of the closet!" Lizzy sneered.

"I thought you like him. What happened?" Alice questioned.

"Shh.. keep your voices down. I hate him now." Lizzy whispered. Dumbledore stood up and everyone in the hall became quiet even the Marauders were quiet.

"I like to say a few words before we go to sleep." Dumbledore started. "For the first years and certain 7th years I like to say the Forbidden Forest is strictly forbidden." He said as his eyes looked over at the Marauders. "Mr.Filch has listed more banned items so I would advise you to look at the list because it is much to long to read right now. The last order of business is I would like to introduce the Head boy and Head girl. The Head boy is none other than James Potter congratulations, and the Head Girl who hasn't been with us for four years because she was in an exchange program is Lily Evans welcome back Miss. Evans." James stood up proudly and smiling but Lizzy and I had to force Lily to stand. She smiled and waved while everyone started to clap. When they sat down everyone started whispering about Lily.

"I really didn't want to make a big deal out of this!" Lily said through her teeth.

"Congratulations to you both! Now after everyone leaves I would like to have a talk with you." Dumbledore continued.

"Okay, see you guys later." Lily groaned as we got up.
