Chapter 10

Lily reeled back. That was the creepiest thing that anyone had ever done to her. She reached behind her and pretty much stabbed James in the stomach with her finger.
"No! I don't want to wear the pink bow! You can't make me!" James cried, "No bow, no dress! I refuse."
Laura woke to the yelling and looked at Lily questioningly.
"What is he talking about?"
"I don't know, a dream I guess. He's babbling about wearing a dress and a pink bow. I want to try something, wake the others up." Laura followed Lily's orders and stepped on Remus while poking Sirius. Lindsay was easy to wake up but she refused to move or change back. After a few minutes of Laura talking to her she morphed back and glared at her.
"Why should I get up? The mantle's warm!" She huffed.
"James is going to embarrass himself unconsciously," Laura squeaked.
"Ahh, this I've got to see." Lindsay hopped off the fireplace and helped a tired looking Sirius to his feet. Remus was already sitting on the couch watching James mumble to himself. Lily had tried to extract herself from his hold, but he had only held her tighter. The grip around her waist was too tight.
Once everyone was sitting, Lily poked James, not hard enough wake him up and asked, "What color is the dress?"
His answer almost had them all rolling on the floor. He replied, "Bright orange, it's so ugly, I don't want to wear it, but if it was blue I might consider it if somebody paid me to do it."
"I want to try!" Sirius was excited. "When did you wear the dress, James?"
"During the summer, my mom needed to hem one of her dresses and I was the only one around."
"Do you have any pictures of it?"
"Yeah, Mel came in with a muggle camera that she had just bought and snapped at least a dozen shots of me twirling for mom."
"Where are they?"
"What?"
"Where are the pictures?"
"Inside my trunk. They're in an envelope under my socks."
Sirius said nothing else, but ran up the stairs to presumably get the photos.
"New subject James. Who's your favourite person?" Laura snickered.
"Lily."
"Why?"
"She's so…" James opened his eyes and saw everyone looking at him. He looked down into Lily's red hair.
"What in the world?" When Lily didn't put forth any protestations, he just let it go and was content to just hold her. A thought hit him and he glanced up again.
"Was I talking again?" Nobody nodded.
"What did I talk about?" Lindsay almost lost it and ran up the dormitory stairs, followed closely by Laura and Lily. Steps running up the boys dormitory stairs showed that Remus also couldn't hold it any longer.
James looked around the room and spotted a boy sitting at one of the tables.
"What did I do?"
The boy just shrugged.

The next morning while Lily and her friends were eating breakfast, the little boy from the night before jumped up from below the table and stole her muffin, before running away cackling evilly.
"He's probably going to perform some creepy hoodoo ritual on it or something." Laura said, watching the kid run, smiling.
"Voodoo! Not hoodoo. A hoodoo is a strange rock formation." Lindsay exclaimed when she heard what Laura said.
"I stand by my analysis." Laura shot back proudly.
"Erm, so he's going to try and turn himself into a rock with Lily's muffin?" asked Lindsay, giggling.
"Yup! Wait what did I say?" Laura was really confused. Lindsay couldn't remember so they agreed to just forget about it.
"So Lily looked really cozy with James last night, don't you think?"
"They were sooo cute."
"I was not!" She glanced around, probably looking for the marauders.
"HA!! We win!! You lie!!" Lindsay received some really weird looks at this comment.
"She hasn't admitted to anything yet, genius."
"Well, I don't care, I just felt like saying it. So there!" Lindsay stuck her tongue out and sauntered off.
"We just got told off by Lindsay. How often does that happen?" Lily looked amazed.

Meanwhile Sirius and Remus were looking through a stack of photos that had come out of James' trunk. They were chuckling when James himself walked through the door.
"Hey, what're you doing?" James asked while walking over to them. He looked at the rectangular white things in Sirius' hands and then at his slightly open trunk. His face went ghostly white and he lunged for the trunk. The two others saw this and tried to be stealthy and sneak out of the room. It didn't work.
