Chapter 20

Dear v.s. Stag, Poor Snape, and Lila's Loophole

'Why does James look like a dear caught in headlights?' asked Rach.

'James, you okay mate?' asked Sirius. (Don't you just love England speak, that what I call it…mate I love that word…it's funny…lol)

'What…oh, I'm fine' said James.

'You zoned out for a minute there.' Said Kay.

'Yeah Rach said you looked like a deer caught in headlight, frozen and you look oddly a bit scared.' Said Peter.

'I'm fine… plus technically, guys can't be deer, all deers and does are female, male "deer" are stags.'

'Oh,' said Lila, 'cool, kind of like all female cows are cows, but all male "cows" are bulls, you can't have a female bull or a male cow.'

Lily snorted 'Maybe that's why guys are so full of bull.' Lily said and all the girls started to laugh.

'I resent that.' Said Sirius and he pouted.

'But it's usually true.' said Rach when she stopped laughing.

'I said resent, not deny.' Sirius said.

They all laughed again.

He forced thoughts of Lily and Remus to the back of his mind. He'd deal with that later. Plus why should he care its the past. Lily is the past...past...now just friendship.

TIme seemed to pause. Even though he repeated in his mind "friendship and past', the little voice in side his head started to talk. here's what it said.

Oh yeah, that kiss last night was real friendly. eyes rolling

Sh ewas drunk and I was drunk!

You liked it!!!!!

I was drunk!!!

You loved it! Admit it!

I was drunk!!!!!!!!

You know you wish you had done more than kiss. And 'I was drunk' is not a sufficient answer.

I like Lizy...not Lily, LIly is the past.

You still like her admit it.

'I do not like her!!!!!' James yelled to the whole room.

(Notice, almost identical to Lily's thoughts arguing with her... :)

'What the bloody hell?!' Sirius yelled back.

'What, nothing...I said nothing...spin the bottle.'

'James, are you ok?' remus asked a nit conserned.

'I'm fine.'

'Are you sure.'

'Just spin the g-d dam bottle already.' James yelled.

'Okay, okay.' Remus said, taken aback.

Remus spun the bottle. It landed on James.

'Well since I'm not a chicken, I choose dare.' James said

Remus smirked. 'I dare you to wear a bright pink t-shirt with Snape's face on it that says "I love Sevy-poo" all day tomorrow.'

'What?' James shouted

'Did I stutter?' Remus asked sardonically.

'There is no bloody way in hell that I'm doing that.' James cried out.

'To bad you have to. Now suck it up and spin the bottle.' Kay said

James pouted but spun the bottle all the same.

It landed on Sirius.

James laughed. 'Mate you are going down. Truth or Dare?'

'Ooo dare, I choose dare. Dare me.' Sirius yelled and jumped up and down.

'Down boy. Sit. Stay. Good boy Sirius. Good boy.' Rach said with a laugh.

'Do I get a treat?' Sirius asked with wink after sitting back down.

Rach smacked him up side the head.

'I'll take that as a 'no' then.' Sirius said and pouted.

'G-d stop pouting. And stop with the gosh darn (meaning g-d d 1 reviewer doesn't like cussing.) puppy dog pout.' Rach said to Sirius.

'Give me a kiss and consider it done.' Sirius winked at Rach again while saying this.

Rach looked to Lily, then to Kay and Lila. And finally back at Sirius. She sighed.

Rising from her oh-so-comfy spot sitting under the table she slowly walked over to Sirius and…

Smacked him again!!!

'Ow. What happened to the kiss.' Sirius cried out holding his head.

'Sorry Sirius,' Rach said sweetly with a smile and innocent face, 'I'd love to kiss you, but, lets see…oh yeah, I don't want to.'

'You suck!' (Said by Sirius)

'You wish.' (That was Rach)

'Yes I do.' (Sirius again)

'EW. Get a room.' Lily interrupted.

'Gladly.' (Sirius, yet again)

'Not happening.' (Obviously Rach)

'Guys lets get back to the game.' Lila said.

'Yeah you still need to dare Sirius.' Peter added in.

'Oh yeah.' Said James. 'Padfoot, my man, while I wear a ridiculous shirt exclaiming my love for,' Cough, Cough, 'Sevy-Poo, You need to get up on the Gryffindor table, and proclaim you love for Severus Snape in front of the whole school, via a song.'

Everyone, including Sirius burst in to hysterical fits of laughter.

'What ever you say Prongs, but beware, you'll have to endure my singing because you'll be at breakfast.' Sirius said with a smug smile.

'No anything but that.' James said in a fake over-dramatic way.

'Spin the bottle Sirius.' Said Kay

'Oh yeah.'

He spun the bottle and it landed on Kay.

'Truth or dare Kay.'

'I'm thinking dare.' She said with a smile.

'I dare you…hmmm. What do I dare you to do? Aha, I dare you to kiss Snape.'

'What?! EW gross!' Kay cried out.

'Duh, that's why it's a dare.' Said Sirius.

'Someone bail me out of this. Please.' Kay was practically begging.

'No I think this will be fun to watch.' Laughed James.

'G-d Snape is going to think all the Gryffindors are in love with him at this rate.' Lily laughed. 'First James, the Sirius and now Kay. I'm glad I'll only be watching.' Lily said still laughing.

'Oh don't be so sure Lily-Flower. We'll find away to get you involved, don't you worry.' Sirius said.

'I wasn't worried, but now I am.' Lily replied.

'Kay it's your turn to spin.' Remus said.

She spun and it landed on Lila.

'Truth or dare.'

'I think I'm going to go with truth.' Lila said.

Kay smiled, she had an idea. This is how I'm going to get her to confess to Remus that she likes him. She thought.

'Who do you like.' Kay said with a wicked grin.

Lila paused, deep in though of how to wriggle her way out of this one.

'I like a lot of people; I like you, Lily, Rach, you're all great people to be friends with.' She said finally with a smile.

'That's not what I meant.' Kay pouted.

'No but it is what you said.' Lila responded triumphantly.

'Grrrr…' Kay growled. (I grrrr at my friends when I'm angry…and they grrrr back.)

'Is she allowed to do that?' Kay asked annoyed.

'Well it is the truth, so technically yes.' replied Lily.

'Shit.' and 'Yes' were heard simultaneously from Lila and Kay.
