Lily and Prongs

Lily sighed, and stuffed her book in her bag. No way was she going to get
through it, not with this racket going on outside. She stepped outside the
compartment, to see where the banging and racket was coming from.
She dived back into the compartment. Adair was in there already, her sleek
straight ice blond hair perfect with not one strand out of place, her clear
blue eyes cool, and her pale skin un blemished. She looked totally
unstressed and calm.
"Now what, Lily ?"
"Potter."
Adair grinned. It looked almost out of place on such a sophisticated face.
"Oh. Not this again. It's 6th year! I think you should get over it. It says right
here that stress can cause early wrinkles." She pointed to her Witch Weekly
magazine.
"Bring it on."
"You mean you would actually ... deal ... with wrinkles?"
"Why not? What can you do?"
"Get a face lift."
"So ... you'd have staples in your scalp instead?"
Adair shrugged and tossed her hair.
"Where's Sirius ?"
Lily grinned.
"Since when do you care ?"
Adair blushed, slightly pink.
"Sirius? You like SIRIUS ?" Lily crowed.
Sirius poked his head inside the compartment.
"Did I hear my name ladies?"
Adair buried her head in her book. Sirius grinned.
"Hey Adair! How are ya?"
"I'm good." Came her muffled voice from her book.
"So ... 6th year ! Are we going to have as much fun as last year?"
Lily cut in. "Ya, Sirius. You could never tell by looking at her, but she's a
really prankster !"
She and Sirius continued to throw things back and forth at each other, and
talking about all the great pranks she had pulled, embarrassing the their
target even more, when they were suddenly interrupted. Lily was just about
to throw a curse at Sirius, ( which would have made a heavy ball fly at his
head ) when she was interrupted. She was half way through, so a VERY
heavy ball fell on her foot. She cried out in pain .
"JAAAAAAAAAAMES ! Get OUT of here !" She screeched in the general
direction of the boy who had come in the compartment.
"No thanks. I was just looking for Aimee. Has anyone seen her ?"
"WE HAVE NOT SEEN YOUR SLUT ! NOW GET OUT OF HERE !" Lily yelled.
James grinned at her howling in pain.
"You know Lily, maybe you should consider becoming a slut. Then you
might actually get a boy friend."
Lily stood up, the pain subsiding rapidly.
"Don't you EVER tell me that again."
James grinned playfully at her. She wound her arm back, and ...

"Ow James, she really got you."
"No. Really."
James scowled at his best friend.
"O well. It doesn't hurt."
"Sure it doesn't ! I bet it hurts even more, being the fact that the object of
your affections punched you."
"Lily? The object of my affections? Ya, that'll be the day."
"You know it."
"Whatever."
James grinned thoughtfully.
"What are you thinking about?" Asked Sirius.
"Well, with an arm like that, she'd probably be good at-"
"Never mind. I don't want to hear. I'll leave you and your sick minded
fantasies alone for now."
James grinned at him. Sirius left to find Remus, and James went off in hot
pursuit of his girl friend.

***

"- He makes me so MAD! I could punch him all day long!"
Adair sighed, and pressed her forehead against the window, and closed her
eyes. Her thoughts easily averted to a chocolate covered Sirius. Mmm ...

James spotted Aimee. She was talking to another guy. He came up behind
her, wrapped his arms around her waist, and started kissing her ear.
She stiffened. He pulled away.
"What is it?" He asked. He looked across at the guy she was talking to.
Amos Diggory, with a very smug smile on his face."
Aimee, who certainly had a bad side, leered at James.
"Oh, sorry James. There's something I forgot to tell you. Your ass is in the
garbage can. Figure it out."
James stumbled back.
What ?!

"REEMY!" Sirius hollered down the train.
Remus' head came out of the compartment.
"SIRIUS!"
Sirius waved, and walked into the compartment. James was sitting there,
totally silent, the puff of his cheek beginning to show.
"Hey, Remus. How was your summer?"
"It was great!"
"Even with the ..." Sirius trailed off.
"Yes, even with them." Remus said, with a sadistic half smile.
"James ... what happened to you?"
Remus grinned.
"Our little Jamsie here was being cheated on."
Sirius cracked up.
"JAMES? Mr. Greatest Score? Our James? CHEATED ON? HAHAHA!"
"It really isn't that funny. It's humiliating." James spoke up. But then a sly grin crossed his face.
"I can't let this ruin my reputation. It mustn't It can't. By the time school starts, I have to have a
new girlfriend."
"Uh . Do you mean by the time classes start, or by the time we get off the train?'
"Hmm ... Well, I have to set at a standard for myself ... By the time we get off the train."
'Well, good luck. That gives you, roughly, 1 hour, 7 minutes and 6 seconds."
James stood up, bowed slightly, grinned, and walked out of the room.

***

"Anya! You're here! I was beginning to wonder where you had gone."
"Oh, hi Lily. Hi Adair! How was your summer?"
"It was great. Until I got here, and I had to look at James Potter's ugly mug again."
"Oh, Lily. He's a perfectly good boy. And you torture him so ..."
"He tortures me!"
"Whatever. You should have heard all the boys lusting after you in the compartment ... Quentin,
Jeff, Taylor ... all of them. Well, I'm not surprised."
"What is that supposed to mean?'
"Well, you are, after all, the most popular girl in our year."
"Me? Yea right. That'll be the day."
"Oh Lily ... It was very cute. I think you would look best with Jeff."
"Ya, Jeff's not bad ..."

James strutted down the train, until he came to the infamous compartment number six. It was
infamous, of course, for being the resting place of such females as Lily Evans, Adair Stevens, and
Anya Krazowski, the three most popular, most gorgeous girls at Hogwarts, in any year. It was no
secret the Adair lusted for Sirius, and Sirius lusted equally after her. Anya was ... well, for the
moment at least, single. Hmm ... for the moment. He made up his mind, and strode purposefully
into the compartment. Lily's eyes narrowed when she saw him. He walked right up to Anya.
"Could I see you outside for a second?"
Anya smiled at him and nodded, she left, feeling the slits ( that had once been big green eyes )
following her.

***

"Hey Anya ! How was your summer?"
"It was great. How about you James?"
"It was good ... I was just wondering if you wanted to ... go to Hogsmead with me."
"Are you asking me out?" Asked Anya shrewdly.
"Maybe ... it all depends on what you'll say."
"Of course ... if you are .... I would say yes."
James smiled at her, kissed her softly, and then ran out to tell his friends."

"You did WHAT ?! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
