Chapter 9

(Remmy's POV)

I led the way up to Peter's room, stepping over the various piles of clothes. James barged in front of me and took a quick peek in the room, but came out blushing.

"Uh... let's wait a second before going in..." he said with a squeaky voice.

"Why?" Lily asked raising an eyebrow.

"You had to ask..." I said after we heard a strange sound from inside.

"Sounds like a pillow fight!" Jessie said, missing the point entirely. She pushed James out of the way and went inside. She came out seconds later saying, "What were you perverts thinking?" as she pushed open the door.

"Hi guys!" Monica greeted. She was sitting on the floor next to Sirius who was shirtless again, lying face down with massage oil on his back. My mouth formed into a perfect "o".

"Something wrong?" she asked.

"Well, that's not what it looked like from where I was!" James said defensively.

"Can we drop this subject?" Lucy said loudly. "You might make me spill my lunch all over your nice carpet!"

What lovely thoughts, thank you Lucy. I really wanted to know. I looked over to see Peter shuffling a deck of cards.

"Poker, anyone?"

"How about Strip Poker, to make it interesting?" someone suggested.

"I don't play poker!" Lucy said quickly.

"I'll teach you!" Monica said, striking a heroic pose while standing on Sirius's back.

"Aaah!" he yelled as she sat down hard on him.

"Bloody hell you have a bony little arse!"

"You should put on a shirt before we play Strip Poker, Sirius. We don't want your pants off too early in the game." Jessie said.

"Thank you so much for that lovely thought." I said, wanting to bash my head against the wall. I'm sure I'll be driven to it eventually.

"Let's start, then!" Someone yelled, so we sat in a circle as Peter dealt five cards each. Somehow, Lucy won the first round. I sighed and took off one shoe. James swore loudly; he was barefoot. Lily started giggling. Peter won the second round, and Jessie the third. I looked at my hand. Aw, damn, my cards sucked. I took off my last sock.

"That shouldn't count!" Lily was shouting to James, who was taking off his watch.

"Why Lily, I never knew you wanted my clothes off so bad."

"Don't be a pervert, pervert!"

"I am who I am."

I blinked. I had just won the fourth round. I smirked as Sirius took off a fanged necklace. I looked around. Everyone except Monica still had their pants on, and by an odd stroke of fate she was the only one with a shirt.

"Aw damn!" Monica said loudly when Sirius won the fifth round. She took off her shirt, but surprisingly she was wearing another identical one underneath.

"Well, if someone's going to rip off my shirt I want an extra, don't I?" she said in response to the stares.

"Why'd you curse then?" Lucy asked blankly.

"Uh... well, to tell the truth I had forgotten!"

"Let's continue, shall we?" I interjected. Lily punched the air as she won again. I quickly averted my eyes when Peter took off... something not good to say.

"Peter's out!" We all shouted simultaneously.

"Please put your clothes back on." Jessie begged with a red face.

"Your legs are hairy and disgusting!" Monica yelled bluntly. Peter dumped his glass of water on her head.

I sighed and took off my belt. Damn. James finally won the seventh round. He was down to his red boxers with little snitches zooming around on them in rainbow colors. Sirius was clad in black boxers with large yellow happy faces dancing all over them. I was the only one with pants still on. Now I was really glad about all those little bands and other random things around my wrists. I knew they'd come in handy some day.

"Um... I really do NOT want to see any more of your guys' bodies after seeing Peter. Can we end the game now before James and Sirius are out?" Lucy suggested.

"Uh... yeah... I agree totally with Lucy on that one!" Jessie chimed in at once. The very thought of James and Sirius going out was kind of an embarrassing thought!

"I'm board!" Peter piped up after a couple seconds.

"So whatcha wanna do?" I asked.

"Dumb blond jokes!" Sirius yelled enthusiastically.

"Oh please no!" Jessie screamed.

"Oh yes!" James started grinning evilly, "I'll start! How do you keep a blonde amused for hours?"

"Ooooooo! I know! You give her a piece of paper with 'Please turn over' on each side!" Sirius was still very enthusiastic.

"How do you kill a blonde?" I asked.

"Ooooooo! I know that one too! You put a scratch and sniff muggle thing on the bottom of the lake!" yes I know, Over Enthusiastic Sirius.

"Actually it's a sticker and are you quite finished or I'll hex you to the States!" Jessie snapped. She bent over to pick up something and Sirius put a glass of some strange liquid on her back.

"Stand up and the potion's gonna spill." Sirius stated, laughing.

"That's not what I think it is, is it, Padfoot?" I inquired slowly.

"You guessed it Moony! A Black family specialty."

"Don't tell me that's... You mean..." James trailed off. Jessie stood up and the Black family specialty was overturned but instead of falling to the floor it splat itself in all of the girls' faces.

"You got something against girls or anything like that because I would never have guessed it a couple of hours agĀ­-!" She was cut off because her mouth clamped shut. All the girls were suffering the same thing.

"Kiss me Lily!" James ordered instantly striking a cheesy heroic pose. Lily was forced to obey. I fell down laughing. I started blushing because the kiss was turning very intimate, at least on James' part.

"Jessie, make me a sandwich!" Peter ordered in turn. As he didn't specify she slammed ingredients into his face, making sure to smear mayo into his ears. She stuck a piece of bread on his nose and another on his back.

"Peter, you said 'Make ME a sandwich!'" I spluttered laughing but enunciating the word. Everyone, minus Peter of course, was on the floor in stitches.

"I don you the Peter the Deli King!" Someone shouted.

"No! The Mayo Man!" Lucy yelled.

"If he were a girl he'd be the Sand-Witch!" Monica called.

"Sand-Wizard, Mr. Mayo Man!" I announced like Frank Longbottom would for a Quidditch game.

"Monica, when we get back to the castle I want you to show me how you dove from the South Tower." Sirius commanded.

"Lucy, help me plot a prank against all of them." I whispered into her ear.

"With pleasure!" She said with a grin out loud.

"Huh? What'd you say? You getting married?" Monica asked. Lucy was quiet for a moment just staring at her then she did and James' face vault, giggling which quickly turned into hysteria.

"M-marry him?" She stammered though her laughs, "No offense, but marry Remmy?" She burst into more peals of laughter.

"Remmy?" I inquired blankly.

"Oh yeah," she calmed down enough to explain, "Like it? They're the Dunderhead Brothers, he's Ratface, so you're Remmy!"

"I notice his nickname is the only nice one!" said Dunderhead Brother #1, aka James.

"Well, he's the only nice one, isn't he?" Lily pointed out calmly. During this conversation Lucy was working on something to the right of my hair. She pulled away smiling. I moved my hand to the spot. Lucy held up a mirror.

"You put a bow in my hair!" I half shouted, looking at my reflection in the mirror. There, right behind my ear, was a little blue ribbon.

"Aww! How cute!" She said squealing in happiness.

"Have you been spending too much time with Monica or something?"

"In case you haven't noticed, here's the 411, she's spending the summer at my house," She said slowly and clearly, "So yeah... I have been spending a lot of time with her!"

"True!"

"Yes! I win!" she yelled punching the air goofily.

So... wonder what kind of prank Remmy and Lucy are going to play? Well I know how you feel because I don't know either. Meheeners made it up, I'm just typing!
