chapter 3.
At dinner that night, Lily sat on the end of the table next to James. Sirius was sitting across from James, drooling into his plate.
Lily and James had alot in common, James realized. Both were at the top of their class, first years, spent lots of their free time in the common room or library reading for pleasure [unlike most of their fellow students], and were obsessed with sleeping.
"My friends are ALWAYS telling me that I sleep too much!" Lily exclaimed.
"So is Sirius, here. Don't you?" James said, looking at Sirius..
"What? Oh, yeah, yeah." He was so busy staring at Lily that he didn't even know what he was saying.
"You haven't eaten a thing, Sirius." James rolled his eyes at Sirius and glanced at Lily.
"Exactly! You know, I was just thinking that. Homework is SO time consuming."
"Your hair is such a cool shade of blue, Sirius. How did you get it like that? Or were you born like that?"
"It's very easy, actually. First, take out the first three positive integers and replace the second multiplication sign with a negative seven." [A/N duh, i made this mathematical process up.]
"Really? I didn't know that!" Lily exclaimed, catching on. "Wow, that shark fin must taste good, huh Sirius?"
"I love that color too! It's been my favorite since the second standard." [A/N that's what they call 'em in boarding schools...]
Lily and James giggled and returned to their previous conversation, ignoring Sirius's slobber that was starting to collect on the empty golden plate.
Soon, dinner was over. Lily and James walked back to the Gryffindor tower together -- Sirius following them like a sick puppy and everyone, boys and girls, glaring at James.
*I'm really starting to get sick of everyone looking at me that way,* James thought. *I've gotta tell Lily what I think about it.*
"Uh, Lily?" he said, interrupting her sentence.
"What?" she asked, her hair bouncing over her shoulders as she looked at him and her voice showing the tiniest hint of impatience.
"Everyone's staring at us."
"So? What's so great about that?"
"Lily, they think I'm your new boyfriend."
"What? Bu-but you're not!"
"I don't think THEY know that."
"Then we better tell them. Hey, everyone! I've got something to tell you!"
Everyone in the hallway turned and looked at her. James tried to slide away. People were shooting daggers at him again.
"I didn't mean tell the whole school," James muttered as Lily continued.
"James is not my new boyfriend. You get that? He is not--"
"I think they get it, Lily."
"No they--oh, okay."
Some people were still glaring at James, but most of the others were smiling. Especially the third years and older. Some of them started giggling in groups again, others just continued their walk to their dorms.
Sirius and James's other friend Remus sidled up to James.
"So she's not your girlfriend?" Sirius asked, nervously. [A/N yeah, i know that sirius wasnt really the nervous type. just for this fic, okay? or maybe this chapter...]
"Of course not, you bimbo," Remus replied, rolling his eyes.[A/N i know they prob wouldn't have said 'bimbo'. i might as well switch Lupin's lines with Sirius's.]
"How thick are you, Sirius?" James said.
"Very," Remus said before Sirius could reply. Lily, James, and Remus laughed and kept walking, leaving Sirius to think about what had just happened.
[A/N the no-long-awaited third chapter is now up. well, maybe not so long awaited. i can't believe i already put three chapters up today, and i'm supposed to be working on a science report. oops...]
