A/n: Here it is! Part 2!

"The astronomy tower, what a wonderful place to be!" Said Sirius, as he looked at the shining glass windows and rubbed his hands together.

"I always knew you were completely and totally mad, but I never thought you'd go this far around the bend," muttered Lily. She was with the marauders as well, they had gotten her into trouble, and she wasn't happy about it. Ok, they did was pour Lily's cauldron onto Snape, but really...

"Of course I'm totally and completely mad, what else would you think of to look at me? Besides tall, dark and handsome, of course..." Sirius struck a pose. Lily snorted.

"Well, your not exactly tall, dark, well, I will grant you that one, but handsome? Sirius, have you had the use of a working, working mind you, mirror? Or has everyone of them shattered on you?"

"Hey!"

"Sirius, you have to admit, you were asking for that one."

"Shut up James, or I will make you shut up." Said Sirius, with a grin on his face.

James flashed a grin at Lily, and then stood directly in front of Sirius.

"How?" He asked. It did present a rather absurd picture, James's 6'1 towering over Sirius's 5'5.

"By physical force, if necessary," Sirius said, lightly tapping James with a rag that he was using to polish the windows.

"Oh, go back to work, Padfoot, before I snap your bony self in half," Said James, snatching the rag from Sirius, and then throwing it back to him.

"Bony self? Bony Self! Excuse me Mr. You-Can't-See-Me-When-I-Stand-Sideways-Next-To-My-Broomstick."

"Oh, shut up! Both of you!" Lily said, shoving herself in between them, making the picture even more absurd. She was only 5'3, and it looked like a mouse trying to separate two very tall giraffes.

"Yes, my lady!" said Sirius presenting a courtly bow. James did the same, and then they both kissed her hand and went back to washing the windows. Lily made a big deal of trying to scrub her hand, wiped them on her robes, and started for a window at the other end of the tower, as far away from both of them as was humanly possible when serving a detention.

"Now," said Sirius, "For the optical illusion that a meteorite is going to crush Hogwarts, what spell should we use?"

"The wish on a falling star charm," said James promptly.

"Of course," said Sirius, "except for the problem that it is very advanced, and none of us would be able to do it...except, of course...Lily, dearest?"

"No," said Lily. "I don't know what it is, but no."

"But..."

"Last time you used that tone of voice, I had to do the Animagi charm, now there are four large animals roaming around Hogwarts on the full moon. I don't know what got in to me, besides the fact that the intensity of the charm made me so tired that I had to stay in bed with Madame Pomfrey clucking over me for three days..."

"But you fainted into James' arms, and that made him happy."

"Sirius, if you say anything about that to anybody...I won't do the spell that you want me to do."

"So you'll do it then?"

"Me and my mouth..." Lily muttered, "Okay, fine. I will...bloody idiot, that's what I am..."

"I love you Lily."

"I don't love you Sirius."

"I feel so unloved."

"Good," said Lily. "Now, the Wish On a Falling Star Charm...let me see...got it!" Lily looked at the sky, took out her wand, and began to say the charm.

"When you wish upon a star, makes no difference where you are, anything your heart desires will come to you...Star light, star bright, first star I see to night, I wish you'd fall upon this hall, but shatter right be for you light."

"Isn't that from a movie?" asked Sirius.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I wasn't feeling very creative when I made this up, Ok?"

"Thank you Lily."

"No Prob-WHAT IS THAT?"

A big, black flag appeared to swoop across the sky.

A/n: Dun dun dun! Yes, the flag does have significance, I just won't tell you what. You'll have to wait until the next chapter. Humph. Teehee.

Hint: If you know anything about Les Mis, you might have a clue as to what the flag means.
