PART 1
"Lily! Lily it's time to get up!!!!!" Molly Denton shook her roommates shoulder trying to stir the deeply sleeping girl. Molly was wearing a navy blue, three-quarter-length shirt with a yellow stripe and khakis and had her hair up in a neat ponytail. On her eyelids she had carefully applied a light blue eye shadow.
When her sleeping friend made no reaction, Molly put her hands on her hips reproachfully wondering how to wake her up. "She always did sleep like this. The sleep of the living dead fer Pete's sake." She cupped her hands around her mouth, "LILY CLARK WAKE UP THIS INSTANT!!!" Molly screamed with all her might causing her voice to crack. Lily just rolled over, her flaming auburn hair burying her beautiful face. "Crap! We'll both be late for the Hogwarts Express if you DON'T WAKE UP!" Molly growled slightly thinking about Arthur Weasley. "Damn! I'm not about to miss a whole day spending time with Arthur just cuz you can't wake up," she added softly, her accent was heavy and she flipped her own hair over her shoulder. She bit her lip deep in thought, thinking of possible ways to wake up her live/dead friend. I could......throw her out the window.........she chuckled......naw, James would probably kill me, even if he won't admit his feelings. Wait a second.........I know just how to wake her up. Molly's mouth twitched upwards evilly, her eyebrow cocked at a mischievous angle. Moving close to her roommate's ear, she softly whispered, "James is waiting for you!"
Lily's bright green eyes snapped open and she sat up suddenly, ignoring Molly's shrieks of laughter that followed. "What? What did you say? What? Did I miss something here? James is waiting for me? F-f-for what? Has he been waiting long? Oh dear!"
Lily stared bemusedly at her friend who was now rolling on the floor, on the brink of hysteria, hooting with laughter. Molly pulled herself up again holding her aching stomach.
"Crap, I'm (laughter) laughing (more laughter) t-t-t-too much!!!!!!! Must-stop-hurting-too-much!" Slowly, Molly composed herself. "Man you are so predictable girl. Have you got it baaadddddddd or what!"
"I don't know what you are talking about," Lily replied primly even though she knew exactly what her best friend meant.
"And do you EVER sleep deeply! I could have a full-fledged water fight in here and you would probably sleep through the whole thing!"
Lily waved her hand dismissively and remained uninterested to her sleeping habits and tried to urge her friend to tell her about her recent obsession. "Anyways, tell me later about what I can and can't sleep through later. Why pray tell is James waiting for me? And why do you think I would be interested in that anyways?"
Molly rolled her eyes indiscreetly, "Puh-leeeeze Lily! Do you really think that you can hide your feelings for James under your innocent façade of boredom from your best friend?" She made a slight mocking noise in her throat, waiting for the answer.
Lily smiled. "You always have such a neat way of putting your interrogations," she sighed. "So, you figured me out hmmm?"
"No (word that made Lily grin in surprise) Sherlock!" Molly laughed good-naturedly, "If James wasn't so oblivious he would have known by now too! The same goes for Remus and Sirius! Dull-witted gits! I swear by Merlin that if they try another trick with spiders on ME again they'll regret it. Anyways, have you forgotten? I'd have thought you would have memorized those very words James told you last night!" Lily stared blankly back. "Obviously you don't! Okay......he told us to be ready for Hogsmeade today cuz him an' the guys will be waitin' for us in front of the bus. Remember? We were all going to spend the day at Hogmeade together? As a group! Holy hell! This from a girl who got 115% on her NEWTS!"
"You're so crude Moll! Lighten up," Lily smiled, "I'm half asleep here. And don't think that I don't know your little secret. About your lil' crush on someone whose name starts with an 'A' perhaps?" She smirked.
Molly grabbed the nearest pillow and shoved it in Lily's face, smothering her mouth so she couldn't talk. "Shhhh!!! Idiot! Do ya' think I want the whole world to know? I'm not being obvious like you are so keep it quiet!!"
"Who's going to hear hmm?" Lily asked sounding muffled through the pillow and swatted at it sending it across the room and noticing for the first time another sleeping figure.
"Kalasin Anne!" Molly remarked loudly. Stomping over, heavy-footed, Molly bent over and shook Kally's shoulder's lightly. "Wakey,wakey sleeping ugly!"
Kalasin Watson was anything BUT ugly. She truly looked like a sleeping beauty with her long, raven black tresses fanned out on her pillow and cream-coloured skin, large, bright violet eyes under long dark lashes. Her cheeks were always rosy pink and her face didn't need a touch of makeup and her lips didn't need lipstick because of her natural beauty and luscious red lips. She had the attention of any man she wanted and even those she didn't particularly cared for, including the roguishly handsome Sirius Black. When it came to noticing guys' affections, she was even more oblivious than even James sadly nor did she really care for 'all that love nonsense' as she referred to it. She believed she was too young, way too young to even be able to comprehend what real love was anyways, though she loved the idea of falling in love.
"C'mon girlie! Wake UP!!!"
Kally groaned and pulled a pillow atop her head, blocking out the unwelcome awakening. "Be QUIET Molly! I'm tryin' to sleep here!"
"We've got to go downstairs this instant whether you want to or not! We have to have a whole day with just the gang," she insisted. After a minute when Kally didn't respond at all, Molly proceeded to wake up her friend by turning the mattress over sideways. Kalasin screeched with a large thump on the hard ground. Cursing evilly she got up reluctantly.
"Geez! Can't you let me have one decent nights sleep without being awakened by you? What does a girl got to do around here!"
"Hey! It's not my fault somebody snuck back up at two 0' clock this morning," Molly retorted.
"I had a party to go to! Cut me some slack!"
"Yeah. A party that you went to with Sirius," Lily said giggling while Molly made kissing noises in the background.
"Ah be quiet the two of you! Yes Sirius and I went to a party last night but only as friends," Kally said trying to untangle her hair, "Besides, he has no intention of going out with me anyways. Get off it already!"
" 'Ey hey! What's all the fuss about up here?" A soft voice came from the doorway of the sixth year girl's dorms. A girl with shoulder length blond hair, and about a dozen rings on her fingers, stood indignantly with her hands on her hips and had on a light blue tee-shirt with the word 'Angel' on it in rhinestones and loose blue jeans not to mention she bore a look of pure impatience. "Oh my gawd," she said with an unmistakable American accent, "Don't tell me you're not ready yet! Oh geez! The guys are waiting downstairs for us!"
"Quit your bellyaching Samantha Eleanor Reid! We'll be ready soon enough," Lily said searching for clean socks frantically.
"Don't say my middle name," Sam said sulking.
"Oh hell," Kally exclaimed exasperatedly throwing down her hairbrush with a clatter, "These knots won't ever come out! What do those muggles do without magic I'll never know." She flicked her index finger slightly and muttered, "Distangleisium!" Instantly her hair became perfectly untangled and her normally straight hair was crimped. "Ah! Just the way I like it!" Feeling the eyes of her roommates upon her amazed she pouted, "What are y'all staring at? You said you wanted us to hurry so I did!"
"Ugh! Not fair," Molly complained, collapsing on her own four-poster bed in a heap. "I have to work like a dog to just get decent marks and I still have to use my darn wand," she said throwing up her hands frustrated," And Kally and Lily don't even try and they get the best marks in school and don't even have to use their wands!"
"Not true," Lily said. "I still have to use my wand and I study sometimes!" Samantha snorted in disagreement. "Anyways, I'm almost ready to go guys. I just have to grab my handbag which is...somewhere in this pigsty. Ah heck! Can't you guys clean up for once?" Lily whined. "Now I have to find my socks and my handbag."
"I still have to change," Kally said making a face. "You guys go scurry off downstairs and tell the guys that we'll be ready in five minutes." Seeing the skeptical looks on their faces she added, "Promise! Now go on!"
Samantha sighed dramatically and flounced back out the door followed by Molly who made disapproving clucking noises at them.
"Aren't we lucky," Lily said sarcastically, "We just had to get stuck with the two biggest slobs in Hogwarts! Forget Hogwarts. In all of Britain!" Kally laughed heartily and went back to deciding what to wear.
"Er...seeing that I promised we'd be down in five, do you think anyone would mind if I used magic to change?" Kally asked.
"Not at all Kals!"
"Good!" She then waved her arms once over herself; she uttered a single word with ease, "Changio!" At those words, a lavender, purple patterned, boat cut top with quarter-length sleeves, bell-bottomed jeans that had a hippie fringed end and beige clogs appeared on her slim figure. She gingerly pinned her crimped hair with two bobby pins. "So glad to be a witch!"
Lily meanwhile had found her jean handbag and white socks and was ready to go except her hair was still a mess as it always was. She was enviously watching her stylish friend as she herself got her own dark purple shoulder bag. "You are so lucky! I have absolutely no fashion sense!"
"Nonsense Lil! Absolute gibberish," Kally argued. She considered the emerald green sweater that showed her midriff and the long jean skirt Lily was wearing with the eye of a judge. "That sweater matches your eyes perfectly! I love that outfit, and so will James," she added slyly. Now let me do your hair. We haven't much time left. One minute to be exact."
Lily turned around and sat on her chair facing the vanity mirror that she had gotten from her three best friends and she waited while Kally flipped through a large book of hair spells. She moaned, "You know about my crush on James too?"
"No duh! I'm not stupid you know. You're completely infatuated with the fellow," said Kally while she closed her eyes. "Now be quiet. I have to concentrate." She paused and placed her hands above Lily's head. "Relatium!" Instantly, Lily's auburn hair was swept up into a high bun and some curls were let down around her neck strikingly. Kally gingerly clipped two clips that looked like chopsticks in Lily's hair. "Done," she exclaimed examining her handy work.
Lily looked in the mirror and marveled at how Kally had managed to make her hair look so gorgeous. "It's so beautiful!" She sighed and stood up. "Ugh! How come everyone knows about my crush on James and no one thinks you like Sirius one lil' bit?"
Kally glared at her friend and punched her arm. "Do not Lil! And you know it!"
She grinned, "Sure Kally! Whatever you say, and, OUCH! C'mon, we've got to hurry it up!"
~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~
The two girls started down from the Gryffindor tower at a fast pace, careful not to trip. They ran all the way down to the front of the massive castle where there were students as young as twelve climbing aboard the train to Hogsmeade. Lily slowed down considerably, spying James Potter and Sirius Black waiting for the two. Lily constantly worried that James discovered that she liked him but he was there, grinning at her oblivious as ever. She put her head down blushing madly as Kally ambled in after her bouncing around like a kid. Sirius' mouth had dropped as he stared dumbfounded. When Lily reached where Sirius and James stood, she nudged Sirius hard in the ribs in attempt to jolt him back to reality. Shaking his head slowly, he resumed back to his roguishly mischievous self.
"Ey hey bud! What cha' staring at?" Kally asked, absurdly cheerful, punching Sirius in the arm.
"A prostitute," Sirius replied jokingly holding back a laugh at the sight of Kally's outraged expression.
"Why you........." Kally pounced on Sirius, practically knocking him to the floor poking him in the ribs hard. He grabbed her into a headlock with ease, ruffling her perfect hair.
James shook his head with his handsome laughing eyes twinkling. Lily had almost forgot he was there and he looked straight into her eyes. He gave her a look that made Lily's heart skip a beat and become short of breath. She quickly looked away. Drat! He caught me looking at him! He must think I'm a freak!
"Are you two quite finished yet?" James asked, tired of the play fighting, "I want to get to Hogsmeade today. Plenty of time for romantic endeavors later young lovers." At his last sentence, Kally and Sirius had both broke apart with daggers in both their eyes, glaring at James who had already started to run away.
"Someone definitely wants beetles in his soup tonight," Sirius said, his face slightly flushed, watching James who was still running. "Where does he get those ideas I'll never know," he muttered unconvincingly which didn't fool Lily in the slightest but Kally hadn't even noticed.
"Forget beetles," Kally said, lifting her head up to look at James who was now hiding behind Remus a few feet away and couldn't hear a word they were saying. "Spiders is what we'll get for his soup," she said firmly with an evil glint in her violet eyes. Lily laughed knowing that both mischievous makers meant what they said.
"Oy you lot," a person whose head was sticking out of the train yelled at them, "C'mon and hurry! The train is leaving RIGHT NOW!!!!" The voice came from Samantha who was sick and tired of waiting for them.
"Kill ya' later James," Sirius called to his friend snickering and calmly stepping on the train, pulling Kally by the arms up the stairs. Meanwhile, she was whining all the while telling him to loosen his grip, which he did almost instantly.
"Hurry up James," Lily called. She wasn't about to let James be left back when she so looked forward to spending the day together. Joined by Remus Lupin, one of his first friends from their first year at Hogwarts, James ran towards the train's stairs, his wild, jet-black hair flying about the place from the wind.
"Thanks for the notice Lil'," James said when he caught up, out of breath, Remus panting behind him.
"No problem," Lily said almost inaudibly barely able to breathe properly.
"Is Sammy in there already?" Remus asked inquisitively. It was already very noticeable that he had his eye on the American beauty that had joined two years before. Lily nodded and strode on to the bus to join the rest of the group. James and Remus followed talking animatedly in anticipation about the new broom edition that James had planned on purchasing once he got to Hogsmeade.
"Finally," Molly said in her thick accent. "I thought y'all would never get here!" She was sitting in a red covered seat next to Arthur Weasley who was stuffing his face with a dozen cauldron cakes at a time. Samantha was staring, amazed at how many cakes Arthur could fit into his mouth at one time and leaned her head against Remus' shoulder when he sat down, much to his delight. Sirius sat in the corner with Kally sitting right next to him with her feet on his lap. They played a game of Exploding Snap gambling with a pile of candies.
"Stop cheating Siri," Kally bellowed at the laughing Sirius. "I win!!! I win by default!!!" She proceeded to reach for the pile of treats but was intercepted by Sirius who grabbed both of her hands so she couldn't move them at all.
Lily then closed her ears to them and concentrated on not making a fool of herself in front of James who was asking her if she wanted to share his headphones with him and listen to 'The Lost Wanderers' with him on his disc man. They were a very popular music group in the Wizarding world. She gratefully accepted, not only because she wanted to be as close to James as she could but so she wouldn't have to see Sirius and Kally absently play Exploding Snap not aware of how perfect they would be together.
It's a perfect day already! Lily thought to herself contentedly breathing in James' scent of tangy orange, and she slowly nodded off from lack of sleep, waiting for Hogsmeade to come into view from their train compartment.

A/N: Alright, alright... I should be working on my other story but I had to work on a James/Lily story because it's soooo cute! They are such a perfect couple eh? Rather, Kalasin and Sirius, but, oh well. Could you guys tell me who I should put the spotlight more on? Sirius/Kally, James/Lily, Arthur/Molly, or Remus/Samantha? But don't be fooled, just because it SAYS they will be together doesn't mean that James will end up with Lily and Kally will end up with Sirius...etc...PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!

"Is Sammy in there already?" Remus asked inquisitively. It was already very noticeable that he had his eye on the American beauty that had joined two years before. Lily nodded and strode on to the bus to join the rest of the group. James and Remus followed talking animatedly in anticipation about the new broom edition that James had planned on purchasing once he got to Hogsmeade.
"Finally," Molly said in her thick accent. "I thought y'all would never get here!" She was sitting in a red covered seat next to Arthur Weasley who was stuffing his face with a dozen cauldron cakes at a time. Samantha was staring, amazed at how many cakes Arthur could fit into his mouth at one time and leaned her head against Remus' shoulder when he sat down, much to his delight. Sirius sat in the corner with Kally sitting right next to him with her feet on his lap. They played a game of Exploding Snap gambling with a pile of candies.
"Stop cheating Siri," Kally bellowed at the laughing Sirius. "I win!!! I win by default!!!" She proceeded to reach for the pile of treats but was intercepted by Sirius who grabbed both of her hands so she couldn't move them at all.
Lily then closed her ears to them and concentrated on not making a fool of herself in front of James who was asking her if she wanted to share his headphones with him and listen to 'The Lost Wanderers' with him on his disc man. They were a very popular music group in the Wizarding world. She gratefully accepted, not only because she wanted to be as close to James as she could but so she wouldn't have to see Sirius and Kally absently play Exploding Snap not aware of how perfect they would be together.
It's a perfect day already! Lily thought to herself contentedly breathing in James' scent of tangy orange, and she slowly nodded off from lack of sleep, waiting for Hogsmeade to come into view from their train compartment.

A/N: Alright, alright... I should be working on my other story but I had to work on a James/Lily story because it's soooo cute! They are such a perfect couple eh? Rather, Kalasin and Sirius, but, oh well. Could you guys tell me who I should put the spotlight more on? Sirius/Kally, James/Lily, Arthur/Molly, or Remus/Samantha? But don't be fooled, just because it SAYS they will be together doesn't mean that James will end up with Lily and Kally will end up with Sirius...etc...PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!
