Pranks and Wands- Part 5: We Know What's Wrong With You
Two months later, James, Sirius and Peter cornered Remus.
"Remus," Started James, allways being the sensitive one (accept for Remus, of course), but Sirius cut him off,
"We know what's wrong with you." He said. Remus went pale. Peter was half hidden behind Sirius - I guess he didn't want to spy on his best friend any more then Lily and I did. Remus whispered something to them and they set off to the grounds. I turned to Lily and shrugged.
"Boys." Lily rolled her eyes.
"You are so childish!" She said, and leaned to whisper in my ear, "I have a crush on Peter."
Lily was allways changing crushes; Peter was part of a long list, including Remus, Sirius, Frank Longbottom...The list was long.

I stared into my crystal ball very hard; I wasn't a divinator, but if I concentrated enogh, I could make out blurred shapes in the ball. This time it was diffrent, though. Instead of their usual blurriness, the shapes seemed quite clear, allthough I couldn't understand what they were. It kind of looked like a dead dog lying on grass. I turned to Sirius, which was sitting next to me.
"Sirius," I asked, "What does this look like to you?"
A quick glance indicated that he was not listening (it was hard to listen in your sleep). I sighed and turned back to my crystal ball. The dead dog was gone. I went back to wincing my eyes, trying to find an acorn in the white mist. The dead dog went out of my mind as fast as it got there, along with the 'jewel' (The Potter family was allways known for trying to find out more about the family and being adventurous- Maybe it had do do something with that?). Along the things that will risk my family's life.

Christmes came and went (I came back home this year) and before I could say 'Quidditch', it was Easter, and the third years had quite a lot of homework. Allthough the thing that occopied us at that time was definitly not a part of the school lesson plan.
Sirius practically squeezed me to death trying to get closer to the front of the bush we were hiding in. "Sirius!" I whispered, "You're squeez-" I stopped when I saw what was happening outside the bush. Lily and Peter were sitting on a bench near the lake. I could distinctly hear what they were saying.
"Peter," Lily stepped a little closer to Peter, "What to you have to tell me?" Peter blushed and in a very small voice replied,
"Lily, there's something I want to ask you," Lily nodded encouragingly,
"Yes?"
"Do you want to be my girlfriend?"
That was too much for James, which was hiding in another bush with Remus, and he let out a snort. Peter turned his head around.
"Who did that?" He asked.
I gave James a dissapproving look. Instead of stopping, he fell our of the bush, laughing very hard. I could see both Peter and Lily going red. Lily stormed of to the Gryffindor tower, and Peter was just standing there, frozen. I ran after Lily, not a very good idea as I was a klutz.
"Lily!" I called after her. She pretended not to listen. "Lily!" Lily started running. I arrived in the common room five minutes after her. "Lily!" I called again. This time, instead of ignoring me, she said,
"I never thought you'd spy on me, Dewy. Never." She didn't even turn her head to me.
"Look, Lily. I'm sorry, okay?" I knew she wasn't listening. "Anyway, why are you so upset about? You spied on James when he was talking to Alisa." I paused for a second. "And I don't mind if you have a boyfriend. Especially of it's Peter." Even though that for a while I didn't like Peter, he was actually very nice. Lily turned to me.
"Friends?" She asked.
"Friends."
