Hey, again! Here is my chappie!
…………………………………
James Reading? As If!
"Okay. My turn," said Tonks, "James, Truth or Dare?"
"Ummm……Dare," said James deciding that he could trust Sirius' niece but how very wrong he was!
James gulped.
"What?" asked a curious Sirius.
"I really don't like that look on Tonk's face!" cried James.
"Hey, we have to go to dinner soon," said Lily.
"Awww," moaned Sirius.
"Let us just stay for another two truths/dares," said Dumbledore.
They all agreed so Tonks said, "heh……I dare you to……," then she light her wand and made the whole room dark. James was shaking but nobody could tell because it was dark. Finally Tonks directed her wand which glowed into her face and then said in a scary tone, "to read!"
Everyone burst into fits of laughter, except for James and Sirius who sat there in horror and in a couple of seconds everyone was on the ground laughing uncontrollably. Finally the lights were back on.
"YOU WOULDN'T!" shouted Sirius and James in warning voices.
"I just did!" laughed out Tonks.
James looked like he was about to die and Sirius looked at James as though James was a poor dying man.
"Sirius! Help me!" moaned James.
"Sorry mate! You're on your own this time! I can't help you," replied Sirius looking sorry.
"I WILL get you back," James said to Tonks.
Tonks just smiled back innocently.
"Well? Today!" said Lily.
"Where am I going to get a book from?" asked James making a sour face when he said the word book.
"I have books here with me," said Dumbledore.
"What do you mean by books?" said James raising his eyebrow.
"You heard correctly. I have books here," said Dumbledore pulling books out of his robe, "Now, which one do you want?"
"Y-You carry b-books around with you?" asked James not believing his eyes.
"I do," said Dumbledore.
"I want to pick!" said Tonks, "Since it is my dare."
NOOOOOOO!" moaned James.
Tonks had chosen the most boring one……history of magic.
"DAMN YOU!" moaned James.
"If this is going to affect James, I WILL kill you, Tonks," said Sirius.
Tonks just smiled back innocently and said, "Now, read!"
James looked at the book in his hands as if it were a disease and opened it to a random page.
"H-How many lines do I have to read?" stuttered James.
"Two lines," Tonks said simply.
But James didn't think that would be easy because he groaned and Sirius was outraged.
"How could you do this?" Sirius questioned Tonks.
"Easy! I dared him," said Tonks simply.
"Whatever," muttered Sirius.
"Come on! We don't have all day, you know!" said Frank.
James sighed and slowly read the first couple of lines in disgust.
"a-and that h-had become a h-history. O-One of the o-other histories are……"read James but her couldn't continue.
"James, continue," said Tonks smirking.
James shook his head and pleaded, "please! I don't want to read this sentence! PLEASE!"
"Why?" asked Lily.
"Because I don't want to know another history!" said James in terror.
"Fine," sighed Tonks.
James turned the pages randomly and read, "so that was yet another history a long, long time ago," James sighed in relief.
"Now that wasn't that hard, now was it?" asked Remus.
James and Sirius said, "Yes it was!"
"Sirius, you had nothing to do with the dare!" said Frank.
"Yeah but that was torture watching my friend read!" cried out Sirius.
"Actually, Sirius," said James which surprised everyone because he NEVER calls Sirius by Sirius he usually called him Padfoot or Paddy, "I did not think it was torture! I actually enjoyed reading. Remus, let's be reading partners!"
Everyone stared at James in shock and horror.
There was a long silence which was finally broken by Sirius who ranted out, "TONKS! WHAT IN MERLIN'S KNICKERS HAVE YOU DONE TO PRONGZ??"
"Don't shout at me!" snapped Tonks.
"I WILL IF I WANT TO! LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO PRONGZ!" continued Sirius.
Sirius looked at his friend in confusion as James said in a calm and in a matter-of-fact tone, "Do not worry! Whatever you're worrying about will just go away! You shouldn't be worrying about me!"
"NOW I AM EVEN MORE," Sirius continued to rant.
Sirius moved close to James and waved a hand over his face.
"Sirius, what are you doing? Don't make trouble with me! The headmaster's here! I don't want any trouble," said James which got Sirius more frightened and worried.
Sirius then started to slap James across the face several times shouting and pleading, "SNAP OUT OF IT, PRONGZ! SNAP OUT OF IT!"
"OW! PADDY! STOP IT!" shouted James moving Sirius' hand out of the way and rubbing his cheeks.
Sirius sighed in relief and said, "phew! I thought I had lost you!"
"You never did, you dog!" retorted James.
"What?" asked Sirius in disbelief, "you were faking?"
"Yeah, you idiot!" said James and then pointing at the rest and saying, "even they knew!"
"WHAT! And why didn't anyone tell me?" asked Sirius angrily.
"Well……it was more funnier this way," they all explained except for Lily who quickly stuffed her hand in her pocket.
"Wait? How come Lily didn't explain with you guys?" asked Sirius slowly.
"Umm……well I was kind of too busy recording what had happened," explained Lily while grinning innocently.
"YOU DID WHAT?!" shouted Sirius and James.
"You heard me! I recorded both of you!" said Lily simply.
"On what?" hissed Sirius and James.
"On a video camera, of course," replied Lily.
"On a what?" they all asked.
"It's this thing similar to a little box that records things visually," explained Lily.
"Genius," muttered Dumbledore.
"But how did you tape them without us seeing," asked Remus.
Lily reached for her pocket and pulled out something into her hands. Everyone looked closely but all they could see was air in Lily's hand.
"Air? You taped us with air?" asked Sirius with his eyebrow raised.
"No, you idiots!" said Remus, "It's invisible!"
"Correct, Mr. Lupin," said Dumbledore who had clearly noticed before anyone did.
"Smart," said Frank.
"Thanks!" said Lily.
Sirius and James started ranting about what Lily had just done.
"AAARRRGGGGHHH!! They're going to see me reading!" ranted James.
"They're going to see me looking scared like a little girl!" ranted Sirius.
"Wait? Who says they're gonna see it?" asked James.
"I DON'T KNOW!" said Sirius.
"Well, no one has seen it now!" said James.
"I DON'T CA- wait! Lily give me a hug!" said Sirius.
"What?!" said James in disbelief than finally catching on to what Sirius was planning on doing.
"What?" asked Lily.
"You heard me! Hug me like a friend would," said Sirius.
"No way!" said Lily finally catching on, "Hell no! I'm not that dumb!"
"You're not?" asked Sirius in disappointment.
"You can't even see the video camera! How can you take it?" asked Lily.
"Oh, we didn't really think about that!" said Sirius slapping a hand to his forehead.
"Idiots," everyone muttered.
"Okay. One more then we'll go to dinner," said Alice.
"You know I'll get you back, Tonks," said James.
Tonks gulped but relief went through her as James continued, "but I'll get Sirius first!"
"WHAT?! Why?" asked Sirius.
"Because you didn't even help me out and you slapped me!" retorted James.
"But I didn't want this to happen to you!" said Sirius.
"Still! You didn't even try to stop Tonks, you git!" said James.
"You arse!" said Sirius.
"You leg!"
"You arm!"
"You eyeball!"
"You tongue!"
"You tooth!"
"You eyebrow!"
"You toe!"
"You finger!"
"Erm…guys! I know it's really good that you know body parts of by heart and all but this is just getting weird," said Remus backing away as James and Sirius started to crack up laughing.
"Okay. Sirius, truth or dare?" asked James already making up a dare……but the problem was he needed it to be a double dare.
Dumbledore knew what James wanted somehow and said, "To make this more fun, it will be a double dare. So Sirius will have to do this dare with some one of Mr. Potter's choice."
"WHAT!" cried out Sirius, "You can't do that!"
"I can! I am headmaster and this is my school," said Dumbledore simply.
"I'll get you for this!" said Sirius angrily.
"Heh! I'll tell you the dare first then I'll tell you who you're doing it with," said James evilly.
Sirius gulped as James said, "I dare you to……………"
