A/N: I feel bad for what I did to Sirius in this chapter...

Disclaimer: don't own noffin Harry Potter related... all I own is my amazing plot... heh... xD

That afternooon, as Lily started to make lunch, rain started to drip gently onto the windowpanes. Lookng out into the gloom, she saw that it was cloudy as ever. Seeing that there as nothing she really wanted to do in the rain, she decided she would spend today catching up on her reading. She hadn't done much recently.
When she called the boys down for lunch, she wasn't surprised when Sirius and Remus were the first two to respond. Dogs were more likely to run for food, she found. James was nearly as fast, but this time HE was behing THEIR roadblock instead of Remus being behind his and Sirius'. He took a page out of Remus' book andcasually shoved them both through the doorway. As Remus and Sirius crashed to the ground, James casually stepping over them, Remus looked up at Lily.
"Well isn't this unusual?" he pondered strenuously as Sirius lay atop him, "It's not often that I end up in James' place!"
Lily laughed and helped him up. Sirius simlpy lay on the floor.
"Bring it down to me, will you Lils?" he asked yawning, "Im too tired to get up! It was a looo-oo-ooo-oong night." he yawned the last words.
"If you say so Sirius," she shrugged, plopping his plate down in front of him.

As Sirius lazed on the floor, munching happily on the bacon and eggs Lily had so graciously set in front of him, he glanced out the window, "So I guess the beach would be pointless today," he pouted slightly, "So what should we do?"
"I'm going to catch up on my sleeping as soon as im done eating," Remus stated, swallowing a mouthful, "Im drained."
"We figured you would be Moony," James smiled slightly, "It's fine, we understand."
Remus nodded and continued his lunch in silence.
"That still leaves the issue of what to do though," Sirius pondered, poking the yolk of his egg and watching it jiggle.
"Well, I'm going to be reading all day," Lily stated, "Well, except when I come out to cook supper, since none of you can cook to save your lives." No one argued, and Remus smiled weakly, but James had a shocked upset expression.
"There goes my 'spend-the-day-cuddling-and-snogging-Lily' plan," he pouted, jabbing an egg, "Now what'll I do?"
Lily shot a glance at him but decided to keep quiet. Sirius on the other hand, was a different story. After quickly hiding a grin, he looked up at James seriously.
"Well... since that was shot down... we'll have to find something else to do, won't we?" Sirius looked extremely determined as he looked James in the face, "Got any more 'make-an-idiot-of-myself' plans? That first one seemed to be pretty bad, so why not come up with another?"
James, completely clueless, simply looked at his friend, "Well... we could go out and play catch or something," he suggested.
Lily and Sirius exchanged a 'he didn't catch that' look and Sirius stood up, dropping his plates in the sink as he passed.
"Why not mate, why not? Hurry up you," Sirius stretched, "Just remember, it's gunna be wet out there, so don't whine about your hair getting wet."
"Same to you mate."
"... Yeah... well... sod off Prongs."
The boys finished up lunch and headed outside.

As Lily sat cozily in the library and Remus slept soundly, James and Sirius stood on the poorch looking out into the gentle falling rain that was really no more than a shower. James was tossing and catching a baseball as Sirius cosidered something.
"What's on your mind?" James asked, "You look more thoughtful than usual."
"I'm just wondering why the Death Eaters haven't attacked yet... I mean, there was that one in the forest, but why havent others come near the house?"
"Faher was a smart man," James shrugged, "There's a ton of protective charms around the place. Not to mention that to anyone who hasn't seen pictures or been inside before, the outside looks like a shabby old run-down shack."
"That is clever," Sirius agreed, "So is it safe to be in the yard then?"
"Of course! Now lets get playing, unless you really ARE afraid to get your hair wet," James raised an eyebrow.
"Not at all mate!" Sirius laughed, running into the yard.
They played so that the first to miss a catch was the looser. After a short while of tossing the ball back and forth, with a loy of cheating on both their parts, James decided he felt like winning.
"Catch this one Padfoot!" he called gleefully, a mischevious grin spreading wide across his face.
"Alright, no problem mate!" Sirius grinned back, preparing himself for a spectacular throw.
James had exactly that planned. He touched the tip of his wand to the ball secretly and shoved it quickly back into his pocket.Still grnning broadly, he threw the ball high in the air, angled toward Sirius. Aparently, James had done something wrong when he chamed the ball because he wanted it to simply spin around his friend and drop to the ground. On the contrary, the ball span around Sirius six or seven times and swiftly and deliberately...
Smashed him in the nose, knocking him to the sodden ground.

As Sirius lay on the ground, spread eagle, his hand shot quickly to his nose. Sitting up slowly, he let James see the damage he had done. Blood was staining his front already, and even though his hand covered his nose, James knew it was broken.
"James," Sirius growled dangerously.
"Sirius! I'm sorry mate! I didn't mean for it to do that!" he explained hurriedly.
"You broke my bloody nose!"
"Yeah it is kinda bloody..."
"I realized that Prongs... what're you gunna do about it?"
"Ahh... cose my eyes and hope it goes away?"
"Try again."
James thought for a moment, "Well, I dont think you want me to fix it, since I'd probably do it wrong," he said.
"Yeah, put it on my forehead or something."
"... so lets go see Lily."
