Lily Lasts Forever


Chapter 2

(A/N: Hey sorry or the delay. everyone who reviewed, YOU ROCK! Trista,
I read your story. it rocks! Ummm, this is pretty much part 2 of
Chapter one, it happens that night after dinner when they are in their
Common Room. i think I explain that fairly well, but I didn't want any
confusion. I Luv you guys! sweetdreamz (beth)



After they ate, the girls headed to their dorm planing on
helping Lily find the candy. The boys stayed up talking downstairs.

"She has the right attitude," James argued.

"Well, so does Elizabeth," Renus countered.

Both looked at Sirius. "What?" He said, covering his face
with his hands.

"Well, aren't you going to say something about Rosmerta?"

"I barely know the girl. Do you really want to have people
we just met join the Marauders. Besides." Sirius stretched, "James,
I know you you'll be staring at some other girl before the week is
up."

"Do you want to bet on that?" James asked grinning.

"Course. Homework for a week?"

"okay."

Remus interrupted, "Ok, so are they joining the Marauders
or not?"

"Not yet." James and Sirius said at the same time.

When Rosmerta walked downstairs, they were talking about
Quidditch. She stood for a minute twitling the end of her long, black
French braid.

"Umm, just wondering, but do you have any gun powder around?
It's some muggle thing, but Lily said it would give her candy a little
more zip," she said amusedly.

Sirius jumped up," Of course." He ran to his dorm.

Rosmerta looked at James and Remus, " I never thought you would
actually have some."

In a few seconds Sirius ran downstairs holding a small package
in his hand. "Here ya go," he said cheerfully, as he handed it to her.
They both blushed as their fingers touched.

Rosmerta murmured a quick thank you, before sprinting back up
to her dorm. Lily and Elizabeth were waiting for her on the landing.

Elizabeth took one look at Rosmerta's flushed cheeks. Her eyes
widened.
"Who do you like? Well, I mean this week." Elizabeth rolled
her eyes. Rosmerta was such a female James and Sirius. She smiled.
"It's Sirius." She whispered contentedly, being positive when Rosmerta
blushed a pale shade of pink.

Lily looked nervously up at Arabella Figg and Florence Myers,
the other two girls in their dorm. "Maybe we should do this downstairs.
I mean they could hear us."

Seeing her point, they started down the stairs, but paused when
they heard voices.

"Awww, I think Sirius has a little crushy-wushy," Remus joked.
James Laughed in the background.

Lilly glanced at Rosmerta and smothered a laugh. Listening
closely they heard a cough that sounded strangely like Rosmerta.

Lily and Elizabeth smirked at each other.

Lily scrambled to the top step and stomped loudly enough for
the boys to hear them. "What are you crazy?" She hissed. Staging a
slight grumbling she continued down the steps. Beth and Rosie had
caught on and were following her lead.

At the foot of the stairs they entered a strangely quiet
Common Room. Lily walked over to the coffee table and sat down,
setting two brightly wrapped candies on the table in front of her.

"We all know one is for Malfoy. one guess as to who the other
one is for." Lily smiled devilishly

Sirius pretended to look hurt."Sister dear, you couldn't mean
Snape, could you? Oh thats terrible. just terrible."

James looked at Lily, quite skeptical about weither she could
pull it off. "How do you plan to do that? Snape isn't quite as stupid
as Malfoy."

Lily looked up surprised. James thought she couldn't do it.
Silly boy, she thought, flushing angrily. Lily got up and walked
over to him, shaking her hips. She sat down beside him and looked up at
him through long eyelashes. "I think I'll manage,"she purred throatily.
She sat back up, "Besides, how could Sirius's prodigy fail? It's
absurd."

"Of course she can do it," Sirius said proudly.

"Anyway," Elizabeth pointed at the candies. "We still have to
finish these. Lily, do your thing."

"Oh right," Lily picked them up and rolled them in the
gunpowder, charming it to stay. She wrapped them in their brightly
colored wrappers. Then she frowned, "James, will you transfigure
the wrapper black ? We don't want it to attract attention."

James readily aggreed, still thunderstruck by Lily's
performance. He transfigured them quickly and easily since that was
his best subject.

"Thanks," Lily got up," I'm going to sleep. We have potions
first and that should be interesting. Night guys."

Elizabeth stood up, "Yeah me,too. Night."

Rosmerta got up, said goodnight, and quickly followed her
friends upstairs.

Checking to see if they were gone, James grinned as they
headed up to their dorm. "I think we have all got it bad."

Remus grinned sheppishly and Sirius threw a pillow at James,
who promptly grabbed it and layed down on his bed," night," he mumbled.

After some slight grumbling from Sirius they all went to sleep.

All was quiet in their world.

( A/N: Ok ay that chapter was uneventful and shot, but I thought it was
important to let you know all of the characters roles. Lilly is the
leader and doesn't like to be doubted, while Rosmerta is a player,
as is James and Sirius. Remus andElizabeth can be whatever you make
them out to be. In the guys thereisn't really a leader.
Thanx for reviewing. If you haven't, WHY NOT??
I'll post Monday or Tuesday. choi! Beth AKA sweetdreamz)
