Author's Note: Hiya dudes! Thanks for the reviews. I'm updating because I'm bored, and have nothing better to do. So, I was lying in bed yesterday, thinking, 'God, I am brilliant!'… Just joking! I was actually thinking about my story. It needs to be funnier, so I'm going to be putting in more funny stuff whenever I can (probably starting in chapter sixteen, which is where I'm at, pre-writing). Sirius is such a funny and ridiculous character, that I'm going to put a lot more random stuff with him in it (though, to tell the truth, I am surprised that I haven't done that already…). Now, enjoy this random and weird chapter, and no, I don't do this with my friends (much… hehe).

Chapter ten – Christmas Eve

Sirius, Remus, Peter, and James, were sitting with the girls at the seemingly empty Griffindor table (it wasn't really empty, just a lot of the younger students had left for the holidays, so there were random spaces all around).

"So, we get loads of junk food from the kitchens, get everyone's pillows, and grab some random sheets from the laundry?"

"Sounds good, Sirius, but, what if someone else wants the Common Room tonight?" Lily questioned.

"Right," Christine added, "Or if we aren't supposed to do that?"

"My guess is that you two sleep in your underwear?" Sirius teased, "Anyway, we'll just hex any students who get in our way, and the teachers won't care, as long as we don't annoy them."

Lily and Christine both stuck their tongues out at him and Remus said, "Don't do that too often; your faces'll get stuck."

"I think you're too late to save them Mooney," Peter scoffed, earning glares from the girls and high-fives from the guys.

"I've been meaning to ask you guys, what the hell are Mooney, Wormtail, and Prongs code for?" Enid looked at the boys suspiciously.

"Sorry," Peter winced.

"You forgot Padfoot," Sirius pointed out, looking offended.

James kicked him and said, "Hey, look at the time," it was only eight o'clock, "We should go up and change. We'll meet you in the Common Room at ten, huh?"

All four boys got up and bolted to the doors. "That was weird." Lydia said, shaking her head. Then the girls finished eating and left.

"That was close, Mooney," James glared at Peter, "Jesus, Wormtail, we've told you not to use the names in front of anyone else."

"I said I was sorry," Peter mumbled sulkily.

"We're not blaming you, Peter; it could happen to anyone. The point is, that now their going to start asking questions, like Enid just did." Remus raised an eyebrow at James as if to say, 'that wasn't very nice'. James looked down at his feet as he walked.

"It doesn't matter, anyway. Let's go down to the kitchens and get the food. We have two hours to kill." Sirius directed them downstairs, towards the kitchens.

————————

Two hours later, the Marauders were in their dormitories, changing.

"Do I look okay?" James asked, self-consciously studying himself in the mirror.

"You look like you're about to go to bed, man, and that's what we're goin' for." Sirius wasn't at all bothered by being in his boxers.

"What about me, Sirius?" Peter asked, looking at his own reflection of a t-shirt and pajama pants.

"Fine! You all look fine. Seriously, it's just the girls; not Lolita Crawford. Let's just go down."

(A/N: Lolita Crawford is Cindy's made-up wizarding superstar sister).

————————

In the girls' dormitory, they were having almost the same conversation.

"You all look fine, trust me," Christine rolled her eyes.

"I hate you for suggesting this Enid!" Lily surveyed her own outfit; a black bra and tight pajama bottoms with 'dancer' written on the butt.

"I second that," Lydia frowned at her reflection in her own mirror. She was wearing a hot pink bra and silver pajama pants.

Enid was wearing a crop top bra with loose shorts reading 'juicy' on the backside. She was, except for Christine (who was wearing a tank and pajama pants), the only one who wasn't all self-concious at that moment, "Let's go down." In fact, she was quite the opposite.

Enid led the way down to the Common Room, and walked head-first into Sirius, who was leading the guys down the other staircase.

"OWW! Shit, that hurts!"

"You're telling me? You have a hard head, Sirius. Damn!"

"Are you two okay?" Lydia giggled and offered Enid a hand up. Sirius gaped at Lydia once he was standing (thanks to Remus) and she giggled again, "Wha-at?"

"Nothing."

Lily was carrying her pillow in front of her, so as to hide her bra-covered chest for as long as possible. Christine had got saddled with all of the others' pillows.

"Who has candy? I need candy!" Enid demanded of the boys.

"Sorry, I guess we forgot to get candy," Remus said apologetically.

Enid just stared unbelievingly at him, then she came to her senses and shouted, "NO CANDY? WHAT THE HELL'S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?"

"Ouch," Remus rubbed his ear and handed her a bag of candies, "Here, I was only joking; remind me not to in future!"

"That's better!"

"Give me chocolate!" Lily always ate chocolate when she got stressed or antci or annoyed, or… anything really.

"Only if you put the pillow down," Sirius smirked at James, who glared at him (while secretly wishing that Lily wanted chocolate badly enough to remove the pillow). Well, James couldn't talk, because he was holding his own pillow in front of himself.

"Put all the food, if you can call it that, down on the coffee table, and get comfortable." Enid instructed.

The guys dumped their loot on the table and sat down (James and Sirius on two sofas by themselves, and Peter and Remus on one together). Lydia (Sirius still gaping at her) sat down on Sirius' couch, and Enid and Christine grabbed the other one, leaving Lily to sit down beside James. She knew what they were up to, and silently thanked them for it, but, to keep up appearances, glared at them.

(A/N: I've just noticed, but there is a lot of 'glaring' involved in this story).

"Okay, any suggestions for what we do?" Sirius asked eagerly.

"Hows about a quick game of 'truth or dare'?" Enid grinned demonically.

"What the hell is 'truth or dare'?" Peter wanted to know.

"Well…" Enid began, but Lily cut across her, "Just a muggle game, Peter, it's really no fun, so let's not bother."

"Lily, calm down. I play with different rules. Anyway, let's say it's my go and Lily's asking me; I can pick either truth (which is answering any one question Lily chooses ask me), or dare (which is any one thing Lily can think of to ask me to do). An example would be: Lily, pick 'truth or dare'."

Lily made a face and said 'dare'. Enid then said, "Go and jump in the lake naked. Now, she would have to do that. As you can see, I pay dirty. The rules are: #1. nothing outside, because it's bloody freezing out there, #2. no dares to do with screwing, 'cause that's just majorly messed up, #3. no asking straight out, 'who someone likes', because that's uncomfortable and boring, #4. no picking truth twice in a row, but you can do dare as many times as you want, #5. no repeating truths or dares – they can be similar, but not the same, and #6. no refusing dares or truths. You can refuse one of each in the whole game, but, after you do that, bare in mind that I can easily think up a new, worse one. Oh, and if you're involved in a double dare (where you're part of someone else's dare), you can't use your freebie."

Everyone looked rather scared, so Enid said, "Come on, you chickens; my friends back home made me skinny dip in my crush's pool, without permission, when he was home!"

Everyone looked stunned by this news, and slightly more frightened, but they all agreed to play.

"Enid goes first," Sirius ordered, "Enid, truth or dare?"

"Truth. I always warm up with a truth."

"If you had to choose one of the guys in fifth year to show your underwear draw to, who would it be, and why?" Sirius grinned at James.

"Remus," Remus looked shocked and embarrassed, "Because, being Remus, he would either look away, or get really embarrassed, which I find endlessly entertaining."

Everyone except Remus laughed.

"Now it's my turn to ask… Peter. Truth or dare?" Enid pinned Peter down with her gaze.

"Me? Umm…Truth?" Peter squeaked.

"What are those nicknames about?"

"Ummm…" Peter looked nervously at Remus, James and Sirius, who all looked at him expectantly. Then he decided on, "I think I'll pass on that one."

"Are you sure? I mean, no one can ask that again, but this means that we can ask you any embarrassing thing we like, like who, of the fifth year guys, would you most like to go out with if you had no choice, and you'll have to answer it."

Peter didn't trust himself to speak, so he just looked at the ground and nodded.

"Okay, fair enough. Peter, it's your turn to ask someone."

"Umm… Christine, truth or dare?"

"Dare. I'm not afraid of you."

"Humph… Well, lift up your shirt in front of one guy in the room for ten seconds."

"You have to pick the guy."

"Fine, Remus." James and Sirius laughed when Peter said this.

"OHH… Come on. This is not fair. You guys are ganging up on me."

"Shut up. And anything goes, Enid?"

"Anything goes, as long as it's not mentioned in the rules."

"Okay. Where?"

"Over in the corner, away from the window."

Remus closed his eyes tightly, and tried to go where he was supposed to go, but, since he had his eyes shut, he crashed into the coffee table. "Okay, closing eyes when over there."

Christine rolled her eyes and whispered something in his ear. He laughed and followed her into the corner, eyes open.

"Go." Peter looked down at his watch.

Christine had her back to the sofa crowd, and was facing only Remus, so everyone else could see only her back. She pulled up her shirt so that… her bra was visible.

Everyone, except Peter, burst into laughter. "Cheap Christine, cheap!"

"Peter, are my ten seconds up yet?"

"Yeah. That was cheap!"

"You didn't specify, and I'm still gonna get you back for trying."

"Meh!"

"Okay, Christine's turn to ask someone."

"Lydia, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"Would you be jealous if Sirius kissed someone else, even if it were just in this game, or if you guys break up?"

"Umm… Yeah, I guess." Lydia blushed. Sirius grinned and she hit him.

"Now, that's what I call a loving relationship," James commented, "One where they're still together, even though she hits him five times a day."

Lydia stuck her tongue out at James and said, "Fine, James, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"Okay," Lily was praying silently that her friend wouldn't say it, "Kiss one of the girls in this room on the lips, then tell us why you chose her."

'Well,' Lily thought, 'It could have been worse; it could have been specified towards me.' She just sat, her heart pounding so loud she was afraid the others would hear it.

James, to most people's surprise, got up and walked over to Enid. He bent down and kissed her lightly on the lips. Of course, she kneed him in the groin right afterwards, spitting and wiping her mouth while swearing and going, "EEWWW… Gross!", but he did do his dare.

"O-k, why Enid?"

James hobbled over to his seat, "Because she was the only single person I could think of who wouldn't hex me, yell at me, or cry, if I kissed her."

"Ouch…" Lily murmured quietly.

Sirius gave James a disgusted look and said, "Okay, now that James has finished being a prick, it's his turn to ask someone."

"Remus, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"Okay, who, in year five, are you obsessed with, and don't even think about lying?"

Remus coughed to hide his words.

"What was that? Sorry, didn't hear it properly."

"Marrella Goldberg. But I'm not obsessed, really!"

"Well, she'll be sorry to hear that. She wouldn't mind if you were, Remus." Enid exchanged grins with Lily; anything to get her friend to smile.

Remus turned red, and everyone laughed.

"Lily, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"If you had to choose one of the members of staff to screw, who would it be?"

"You know, for someone as quiet as you, you sure do have a dirty mind. This cannot be lorded over me at any point, but, Professor Snape."

Everyone looked so stunned she admitted that she had been joking and that it would actually be Professor Salandro (okay, so his subject of Astronomy was boring, but he was young, nice, and good looking with his black hair, dark skin, and chocolatey-brown eyes). Her friends breathed a sigh of relief, and asked her to stop joking like that.

"And, Sirius, if Lydia doesn't mind," Lily beckoned Lydia to the side and told her the plan. Lydia laughed and said that he 'so wasn't gonna kiss her afterwards', but she agreed, "Okay Sirius, kiss James on the lips. And, if you refuse this, we can always dare you next time, to kiss two guys in the room, or something like that."

"AAwww, gross Lily. He's just not my type. Please not that? Eeww.. Not that." Sirius shook his head violently to rid his head of the image of kissing James.

"You gonna skip this one?"

James nodded frantically at Sirius. Sirius gulped and said, "Umm… Yes!"

"Okay people, new rule: no homosexual or lesbian dares but that one still counts." Enid declared.

"Now I get to ask… Lily! Truth or dare?"

"She can't pick truth because she had it last time, so it's gotta be dare."

"Right, so, remove the pillowcase and stay like that for the rest of the game."

"Perv! No!"

"Does this mean you skip?" Sirius smirked.

"No… Fine, but you didn't say anything about my arms." Lily slid the strategically placed pillow over a smidgen, then used her arms to cover herself. She smirked back at Sirius, and Enid said, "Now all you need to worry about is SOMEONE PUTTING THEIR ARM AROUND YOU to try to UNDO YOUR BRA!"

Sirius' arm was around Lydia's shoulders, so she quickly slid over on the sofa, away from his arm. He made a face at Enid.

With some random truths and dares in between, including Christine admitting that she used to listen to Wizard's Club (really geeky wizard band), the fifth years got bored by their game.

"Two more dares!" Christine decided.

Lily quickly said, "Remus, tomorrow, at the ball, kiss Marrella on the lips. You agree? If you refuse this, I'll just tell you to feel her up instead."

Remus agreed to the first dare, turning paler by the minute at the thought.

"You have an interesting way of match-making," James laughed. Lily didn't really feel like laughing about it with James though, so she just nodded.

"Fine, the last dare is for James."

"What, I get to pick truth, don't I?"

"Christine said two more 'dares', didn't she? And I need to get you back for the other one. So, French someone single, not deadly, and not scary in the room."

"Peter…" James grinned at Peter.

Peter's eyes widened and he slid as far away from James as he could get on his sofa, without falling off the end.

"Is it supposed to be a girl, because I can't think of one who isn't scary." All of the girls threw pillows at him.

"Yes. Just improvise."

"Okay."

Lily, who just expected James to kiss Enid again, was playing 'rock, paper, scissors', silently, in the air with Lydia. James had turned to face her and she didn't notice, so he cleared his throat, which startled her into turning to see him, there.

"Huh?" Lily was facing James now, but she had pretty much forgotten about his dare. He tilted her head upwards and leaned in for the kiss.

'Lily, don't move,' Lily was thinking, 'just sit here, being surprised, don't act like you like it, 'cause you don't'.

James was pressing his open lips against hers, slipping his tongue inside her mouth, feeling the inside of it. He was thinking, 'God, I love this. Kissing Lily, but she can't know that, she had someone else…'

James drew back and turned back to Remus, "Good?"

Remus nodded. Peter grinned at James, who did nothing in return. Sirius looked stoney-faced, like James was disappointing him or something.

Lily had got the pink tinges in her face again, and was staring at Christine, who was making bludger movements in the air to make Lily laugh.

"I was going to suggest a game of strip poker, but, let's just go get ready to sleep, huh?" Enid pointed to the staircases, so they could clean their teeth and stuff…

"K." Lily got up and moved to the stairs saying, 'Aren't you coming?' to the other girls.

Enid shot James an angry glare before she turned, and followed Lily. Christine wasn't long after them.

"You complete arse-hole!"

"Just, shut up, okay, Sirius? I know!"

"Hello! Still here!" Lydia pointed to herself before kissing Sirius on the cheek and climbing the staircase to the girls' bathrooms.

"James, mate, I don't know what the hell got into you tonight, but you shouldn't have done that!"

"I said, I know! Okay, Sirius? I couldn't control what was coming out of my mouth! Just leave me alone!" James stormed off up the stairs.

———————

"Lily?" Lydia put down her toothbrush.

"What? Oh, I'm fine, really. It's fine."

"You sure?" Christine rubbed Lily's back gently.

A single tear ran down Lily's cheek, "I'm fine. It's fine. Fine. All fine."

"Fine? That seems to be the word of the day," Enid smiled, "I don't know what got into him, really. He's never done anything like that before…"

"I said, it's fine."

"And I said, I don't believe you. Look, Lily, he was only doing that because he thinks you're into someone else. He admitted to me that he likes you."

"I don't care!" Lily brushed the tear away and cleaned her teeth, "I'll be down in a sec, okay?"

"Okay." Her three friends left her alone and went back down. Lily washed her face and dried it, making sure that it didn't look like she had been crying.

—————————

"OUCH! Jesus!"

"Shit!"

"Hey, that seems to happen a lot, doesn't it?" Enid laughed and offered Lily a hand up.

Peter reached out to give James a hand, but he pushed it away, feeling that he didn't deserve help from anyone.

Christine did a really obviously, fake, yawn, and flopped down on her and Enids' sofa. Lily giggled.

"G'night." Christine 'yawned' again and closed her eyes. Enid pushed Christine off the couch and onto the floor, "Yeah, I'm tired too."

Christine stuck her tongue out and shoved Enid's legs onto the floor, so that she could sit down too. "That, ladies and gentlemen, is how you share a couch!" Everyone laughed and sat down on their own sofas.

"First person to wake up after six wakes everyone else up." Sirius said, setting up his pillow behind him.

"SIX?" Lily, Christine, and Lydia all yelled.

Sirius nodded and closed his eyes. Lydia shrugged, sat down and leaned against him, closing her own eyes. Remus and Peter spread out on each end of their couch, and Lily leaned against her pillow (which was as far away from James as possible).

James closed his eyes and slept.
