Hello everyone! I'm so sorry about not having updated in, like, AGES! But I have a very good reason, and that reason is a reason I wish I didn't have. Eh… Was that understandable? If it wasn't, it will be. You see, as you probably know, I live in Norway, and there was a terror attack the 22nd of July. First there was the bomb in the afternoon, and then the killing spree on the island, Utøya. Well, my cousin was killed on Utøya, and I have been in Oslo since the 24th of July and returned late last Sunday evening. But I am sorry that when I returned the chapter was this short. I have the next chapter ready, and if I have time, I will add that one today as well.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Harry Potter universe or characters.
Claimer: I do own Vilde, Julie, Erynne and all other characters you've never associated with the Harry Potter books/movies.

Chapter 21: Think about it
Vilde and Julie were sitting in the Great Hall along with the marauders and Lily when Erynne and Severus walked together in through the doors.
Lily frowned slightly. "Where have they been?" she asked.
"They were on a date in Hogsmeade," Vilde said, grinning.
Lily raised her eyebrows slightly, and then grinned too. "Really? O.M.M. girls?" she asked them.
"Oh yeah!" Julie said loudly.
Lily then looked over at James. She wondered how he took the information. He looked slightly sour.
"Erynne. On a date. With Severus?" he asked.
Julie nodded and turned to him. "Do you mind that?" she asked.
"Of course I do! I mean! Erynne! Liking Severus?" James exploded.
Vilde shushed him to prevent Erynne from hearing it, as she was walking slowly towards them. Severus had joined the Slytherin table.
"Are you jealous?" Lily asked, and then wished she hadn't.
James' horror disappeared in a flash. He then turned to look at Lily, who felt her face heat up.
"Are you?" James asked.
"No," Lily said lowly.
"Then neither am I," James said with a grin.
Then it faded.
"It's just… Severus with Erynne that creeps me out. Had it been any other guy, or even girl, and then I mean any other than Severus, it would be perfectly okay," James explained.
Vilde and Julie exchanged some looks. It was clear to them that James only had eyes for Lily, even after all the years of being turned down. Lily herself seemed to take notice of this, and the small blush on her face got a tad stronger. And after the fact that Erynne had been on a date with Severus, it was clear to them that she didn't like James either. Erynne sat down.
"How was the date?" Julie said with a suggestive tone.
"Ah, it just was. It's hard to get to know him, you know. But I'm not giving up! Hell! I got a date with the hardest person to get to know here on Hogwarts after being here for not even two months, while James still hasn't gotten a date with Lily!" Erynne said, grinning.
Lily's blush deepened, and her entire face was now as red as her hair. James narrowed his eyes at Erynne.
"Did I miss anything?" Erynne asked, looking at Lily's blush and James' narrowed eyes.
"Nope. Not at all. They just don't quite understand anything yet," Sirius said with a shrug.
"What is O.M.M.?" Peter asked the girls.
Erynne raised an eyebrow. "What have you been discussing?" she asked suspiciously.
Vilde and Julie got real innocent smiled on their faces.
"Nuuuthing," they both said.
"Oh, and O.M.M.-" Vilde started.
"Means Operation MatchMaker," Julie finished for her.
"Girls," Remus said, grinning at them.
"That still creeps me out," Sirius said.
Vilde and Julie had decided that they were going to be very much like Fred and George. Since they didn't get to go to school with them, they could at least mimic them, if only just a little. Erynne then helped herself to some food.
"Severus didn't even take you to a restaurant?" James asked, annoyed by the very thought.
Erynne grinned. "Who said a date had to involve eating? It's the part that comes after that's best," she said.
Everyone there got really bad mental images. Except Vilde and Julie, who both laughed out loud.
"Too right you are," Julie said, grinning.
"Please tell me you didn't," James pleaded silently.
"I didn't. Relax. I only wanted to talk to him. I'm not even sure I'd call it a date," Erynne said, smiling to him.
"Well, certainly not if he didn't even provide you with food!" James said, looking outraged again.
Erynne laughed loudly.
"Enough now, Jamie, don't make Erynne feel pressed," Vilde said.
"Yeah! She might not go out with him again!" Julie said.
"And we can't have that!" Vilde ended.
James rolled his eyes. "You guys," he said lowly.
Vilde and Julie simply looked proud at that and didn't serve him the way he wanted to. But he then grinned.
"So, Lily! Will you go on a date with me next Saturday? On Halloween?" James asked happily.
"No, James!" she snapped, though the three other girls could clearly hear that she said it half-heartedly.
James seemed to have noticed too. "Please? Pretty please with … with me on top?" he asked, grinning.
Lily raised her eyebrow. "Arrogant much?" she asked.
"You know it," he said happily.
"I'll think about it," Lily said and rose from the table.
James fell off the bench. Sirius spat out his pumpkin-juice. Remus and Peter looked beyond shocked. Erynne laughed loudly. Vilde and Julie did the victory-dance.
"I'll be going to bed. I'm exhausted," Lily said, ignoring the reactions to her answer.
Then she turned and walked out of the Great Hall. Vilde and Julie jumped up on the bench the minute they knew she was out of hearing range.
"YES!" they both bellowed loudly, punching their fists into the air.
James jumped up too. "NO EFFING WAY! THIS IS NOT HAPPENING! VILDE! JULIE! PINCH ME!" he yelled on the top of his voice.
Everyone in the hall was looking at him like he was mad. Vilde and Julie however, exchanged a glance. They then punched James harshly on his arms.
"OW! I said PINCH! Not PUNCH!" James bellowed, holding the two spots where they hit him.
Vilde and Julie blinked.
"Oh… Sorry! Didn't catch the different vowel," Vilde said, grinning innocently.
"Right. And I'm stupid," James said annoyed.
Vilde and Julie made an agreeing sound, and James flared up. "Shut up!" he said with a small pout.
Vilde and Julie smiled.
"Aw, our little Jamie," Vilde said, laughing.
Julie joined in. James looked at them a bit and then started laughing himself.
They sat back down again to notice that Erynne was done eating. "Wanna do something prankish?" she asked them.
"Well, duh!" Vilde and Julie said, grinning wickedly.
"And I know just the thing," Julie said, her evil grin spreading over her entire face.
James: HAH! I got a date with Lily! I got a date with Lily! I got a date with Lily! And guess the one who hasn't!
I wouldn't depend on it, James. I can still change my mind.
Lily: Plus! You only got an 'I'll think about it'.
James: *pouting* But Lils!
Lily: No buts, Potter. And if you nag, I'll definitely turn you down!
Sirius: Oh, Lily! You simply cannot turn him down now! He's so happy! And he'd be unbearable to be around if you don't go with him now!
Lily: Still.
Remus: James, you better be on your best behavior until you have the date in black and white.
James: Oh, I so shall! No doubt! Lily, you're free to decide to go with me, just know that I'd dearly like to go with you!
Lily: Huh, well, that does sound promising. Ah, heck! Everyone knows we'll end up together anyways!
Don't count on it.
Lily: Oh, stop it, GD, we all know you're gonna make it happen.
Hm… Maybe a change is in order? Now, BE QUIET! I can't hear myself think!
So, once again, sorry about the short chapter. I will most likely add one before I go back to Oslo on Friday. If not, depend on it on Monday!
Catch you laterz!
XOXO
