Heyy- btw, this is MyWorld4eva, I just changed my penname, so don't think that you're reading the wrong story- this is still Forever and Always. Anyhoo, enjoy!
"Where are those boys…?" Kat mumbled, irritated- she wasn't one of those patient people, "They're late!"
"Kat, we've been waiting for only three minutes…" Alice replied slowly, eyebrows raised. "I wouldn't exactly call meeting someone only a minute or two later than planned late,"
"Well I would-" the edgy seventh year was cut off at the sight of James and Sirius coming their way. She turned towards them and growled, "You're LATE. We said to meet at ten and its ten O FIVE. Can you NOT read TIME?" she exclaimed.
"Whoa there Lukowski, it wasn't my fault," Sirius pointed towards James, "Little Jamesie here was getting his hair all pretty pretty for Evans over there," James blushed a furious shade of red and punched his best friend playfully. Lily, on the other hand, waved goodbye to the departing third years, pretending like she didn't hear anything.
"STILL- We said TEN and you guys were LATE-" Remus suddenly appeared next to them, Peter hurrying behind him.
"-sorry, but Peter here insisted on me to tell him the history of Grindelwald…" Remus motioned towards Peter, who smiled innocently. "Hope I'm not late,"
"Remus," Kat smiled warmly. "You're not late, just in time- come on," she led him towards the exit. She looked back at her other friends who stood there, dumbfounded. "What are you looking at? We can't afford to waste anymore time- LET"S GO!" she demanded and disappeared outside with Lupin.
"Unbelievable…" Sirius shook his head. "How you guys and Remus can stand her is truly a mystery…" he mumbled. "Well, let's all go then. We better hurry- before she bites our heads off and feasts on them for dinner tonight-"laughing, the five remaining seventh years headed out the door.

"Aha, Honeydukes," Sirius said happily when they had arrived at the all too familiar place. "Race you to the chocolate frogs Prongs!" Sirius exclaimed.
"Can't race me if I'm already there!" James called out from somewhere deep inside the crowded store.
"Wha-?" he looked around and noticed that there was no one beside him- everyone had already gone inside to pick out their treats. "That's not fair- SAVE SOME FOR ME!" Sirius shouted and pushed his way through the store. "-Prongs you better save something for me or the last thing you'll see are going to be those every flavor jelly bean things- excuse me-"
"Hey look, Cauldron Cakes. Hmm…might as well take all of them and eat them all by myself," James taunted, still somewhere inside the store.
"-Pardon me, coming through, desperate kid desperate for candy here- PRONGS! Wait 'till I get to you-JAMES!"
DT (kind of a short part but I really wanted to add it) ;)
After choosing candy from this section and that and trying very hard to not lose the very little willpower some people had, the Marauders and friends left the shop, each person with at least a bundle of candy in their arms.
"Where to next?" Alice piped up after walking for a few minutes in no designated direction.
"Leaves!" Lily suddenly called out.
"What?" Kat asked, perplexed.
"Evans doesn't like us; she wants us to leave," Sirius replied sadly, pretending of course.
"No you git!" the redhead smacked his head. "Leaves! Over there-" she pointed towards an open field which was covered with leaves in all colors.
"Thank you Captain Obvious," he replied, rubbing his head. "I can't believe you hit me…" he mumbled. "What exactly are you trying to say here? I don't exactly get this Lily-language,"
"Have you guys not done it before?" Lily exclaimed in awe. "The raking and then the jumping?"
"Have you not done this before? The talking and then the explaining?" Sirius countered.
"Don't make me…" Lily raised her arm.
"Sorry, sorry," Sirius crouched down low, awaiting the SMACK- but it never came.
"So you've never done it? Any of you?" she asked- everyone shook their heads 'no'. "Wow…alright then, c'mon! Its fun- I'll show you," and she ran towards the open field, her friends hurrying behind. Shortly, they made it and everyone found themselves surrounded with crisp, colorful foliage. "Alright, gather them up!" she exclaimed and started picking up leaves and putting them in a mound. Her friends stared at her strangly.
"This, Evans, is your definition of fun?" Sirius asked, clearly disappointed. "Worst Hogsmeades trip ever…"
"Just do it. You'll see," she replied, busy gathering leaves. Sirius looked at the others, who shrugged and soon all of them were engaged in the foliage picking. Eventually, after several what Sirius called 'leaf fights', the seven witches/wizards had almost picked all the leaves in a 400 meter radius and enough leaves to make three, big heaps.
"So now what?" James asked, wiping his forehead- it had been fun, but tiring.
"We jump," Lily replied, admiring their work.
"Jump where-" Sirius started.
"Into the pile, you ding-dong!" Lily retorted.
"And mess up my beautiful masterpiece? Well, I will not-" the handsome boy was cut off as he found himself being lifted up into the air. "What the- JAMES! No, not over the pile, not my beloved pile—go mess up Kat's or something- no, no PRONGS!" and down he went, buried underneath the huge mound as leaves flew everywhere. After a while, the others were able to dig him out and brush the leaves off, all the while, Sirius was going "That was bloody AWESOME! You have to do it again to me Prongs, you have to! If you don't, then I'll do it to myself- Wingardium Leviosa…wingardium levio-"
"Stand still Sirius!" Remus said exasperated, dusting leaves off his friends back. "You're acting like a bloody five year old…they probably even behave better than you…"
"Who's next?" James asked and one by one, everyone went down into the leaves, levitated or just by jumping, and would come out looking like the new foliage monster- Sirius especially, whom everyone had levitated together and literally threw him into one of the piles, for his and their own amusement.
The sun soon started to set and the day was coming to an end and the group was exhausted. They all agreed that it was time to go, all except for Sirius, who just could not have enough of the jumping.
"Hey James," Sirius started as they all made their way back to the castle. "Maybe sometime, when we're at your house, we could do this again and use that muggle contraption of yours- the trampolingy thing, you know, launch ourselves from there. In the winter, we can make these huge snow mounds and then freeze ourselves to death by hurdling into them- what do you say mate?"
"Behave, and we'll see," he replied, laughing at the idea and grinning at the pleading look on his friends face.
"Alright but then we can do this-" and the seven friends continued on towards the sunset, their voices trailing behind them, heading in the direction of the castle. Lily thought of what Sirius had said before- Worse Hogsmeades trip ever. Says who?
