Whenever Dumbledore wasn't present at and Order meeting, Alice was appointed chairman. While she talked about how successful the past week had been and listed parts that could be improved, Lily tried not to rustle too much when she tried to figure out where her M&Ms' could have disappeared to.
"I can't have eaten them all already…" she muttered, peeking into the bag.
"That's what happens when you pour them in your mouth like tequila" said Sirius.
"Put a sock in it, you prat!"
"You put a sock in it!"
"-I am happy to announce that they are now safely locked up in Azkaban, and if the two of you don't keep quiet I'll make sure you get to share a cell with them!" Alice told them off. "Now where was I…"
Lily glanced at Remus who sat right across the table.
"Oh Remus…" she cooed, knocking on the table to get his attention. "You always carry around chocolate with you…Could I just have a teensy weensy bite? Preferably all of it"
"Sorry, all I had were those M&Ms' I'm afraid"
Lily groaned. "But I'm staaarving…Doesn't anyone have anything edible?!"
"Have you asked everyone?" Sirius asked.
"Are you saying you got something?"
"I might have…but even so, why should give anything to you, meanie?"
Lily forced a smile. "I'm sorry for what I said; I get so cranky when I'm hungry"
"So basically, you've been starving all your life"
In her mind-theatre, Lily tore his head off and put it on a pole.
"I have been working out a lot lately"
"No you haven't"
"I haven't apparated anywhere a month, I walked here this morning!"
"Then shouldn't you be losing weight?"
James didn't bother to argue with them anymore. Some people just didn't get along.
Lily flew up and was just about to shout at him when she realized that she was really hungry. She was just going to have to swallow her pride this time.
"Please…Be so kind...What do you want me to do?"
"Jump up on the table and do the Hula while singing 'I'm a little teapot'"
"Come on!"
"Or starve, it's your choice"
Lily sighed deeply. "Alice…Do you mind if I interrupt you for a moment?"
"Uhm…Not at all, go ahead" Alice sat down.
Lily jumped up on the table and awkwardly did the Hula.
"I'm a little teapot short and stout…" she more muttered than sang.
"I hope you'll never get married, Pads', because I would not be nice to your wife" said James.
"I'm sorry, but I don't give away my treasure to just anyone for free"
When Lily was through singing and had sat down again, feeling more humiliated for being applauded at than flattered, she held out a hand. "This better be delicious, hand it over!"
Sirius reached for his foot under the table and took off a sock, and gave it to Lily.
"There you go"
Lily glowered at him and shoved the sock in his mouth.

Another one of those 'Boy's night out' evenings, James and co sat at the Leaky Cauldron, discussing Lily's guzzling, frequent moods-wings, morning sickness and increasing weight. No clue of what could possibly be wrong.
"I know I said I'd love her even if she was fat…But maybe not quite as much" said James.
"I once heard of this bacterium that makes you feel hungry all the time" said Sirius.
"I told her this morning; if you don't wanna throw up every morning, don't eat so much!"
"Is that how you got the bump on your head?" Remus asked.
James nodded. "I'd get rid of all the frying pans, but she'd just find new ones"
"Maybe she's depressed" Sirius suggested. "Depressed people eat a lot"
"Well…She did tear her favourite skirt the other day…"
"You remember Mandy? She spilled coffee on her sweater and cried about it for a week"
"Maybe it was because you broke up with her just before that" said Remus.
"…Could be…Do you have to remember everything?"
"I don't have to…I just do"
"Wow that would make a great song…I don't have to, I just dooo…" hummed James, forgetting his worries for a sec.
"Well I am lyrical"
"And smart! You should know what's wrong with my darling!"
"I think I'll let you figure it out for yourself, that will be more fun. For me"
"You have to tell me if you know, Moons! She could be dying!"
"Then I would tell you"
"So what is it?!"
Remus rolled his eyes. "Didn't biology teach you anything?"
"Who?"
"Look, there's Lily right now, why don't you ask yourself"
(A/N: Yes and this is how far I have made it. I don't what should happen next...or I kinda know but I don't know how to make it interesting...ish. Anyways thanks for reading)
