When they got to the food court, found Sirius and Remus, Lily met the redoubtable Nancy and her faithful sidekick Bob, and bought food for all 4 of them. (AN: Cheapskate boys! No more mooching off of Nancy now! =Þ)

Lily sat with Remus next to her, James opposite her, and Sirius next to him.

Occasionally kicking James, who was attempting to play footsie footsie with her, and randomly kicking at Sirius for any stupid or sick comments he made, Lily led the conversation, faltering only when James started trying again.

Snapping angrily at him, she proceeded to tell him off very thoroughly, under the hidden amused stares of Sirius and Remus, ending the scolding with a very angry "Potter!"

They all stopped, and Sirius quit whispering observings to Remus. Lily hadn't called James "Potter" since they had started going out, except when she was annoyed or angry.

James chanced a look at her face and concluded she was only annoyed, but to be on the safe side, he decided to stop.

Sirius, however, decided that she was mildly angry, and, egging her on silently, hooked his foot around James' left leg and forcibly moved it towards Lily's.

A ringing slap echoed around the suddenly silent food court, followed quickly by the surprised James' protest and Sirius' choking laughter.

"Lil, it wasn't me!" James protested, slapping the chortling Sirius.

"No, it couldn't have been your foot, could it-!" Lily flashed a quick look at Sirius. "Sirius!"

Sirius leant back before she could slap him as well, and Lily gave a huff of annoyance before turning to Remus, who had wisely kept out of the whole argument.

"Hey Remus?"

"Mm?"
"Wanna go see a movie with me? We'll be alooone…"

Remus was too confused to choke like James did at the request. Sirius just blinked and kept shoveling food into his mouth mindlessly.

Seeing as James was still recovering from his impromptu choking fit, and Sirius was eating absently, Remus decided to ask.

"What's a movie, Lily?"

However, James answered the question. "A movie is sort of a place to watch a big moving picture that's warped. In the dark. I think."

He shrugged in answer to Sirius' incredulous stare. "What? Lil told me about them."

"In the dark, eh?" Sirius grinned. "What perfect make-out opportunities."

Lily gave him a disgusted glare, while James and Sirius laughed happily and Remus giggled, somewhat guiltily. He stopped though, when Lily turned back to him.

"Well Remus, how about it?"

"Which picture are we going to?

Lily considered this. "There's a new chick flick out I wanted to go to…"

Sirius blinked. "Chick flick?"

James nudged him with his elbow, shaking his head warningly. Sirius just blinked at him, and James sighed.

"Padfoot," he whispered, all too aware of Lily's irritated glare and trying to avoid it as best he could. "Buddy, it's a picture where…" he gulped, mock nervously. "Where the guys wouldn't be caught dead watching. Usually a romantic/comedy."

Sirius gasped, in not so mock horror. "Romance? Mushy stuff? Good God NO! No chick flicks Lily, please!"

Lily regarded him in amusement. A begging Sirius? Not an everyday occurrence. "Nope. Sorry Sirius, we're going to go watch it."

At their groans, she grinned and looked thoughtful.

"Well, there's also a new comedy out."

"Comedy? As in, funny?" Remus spoke up, mildly interested.

"Mmhm. It's called The Emperor's New Groove."

Sirius considered the title. "Doesn't sound too funny."

Lily shrugged. "It's supposed to be really good. I dunno. I haven't seen it yet."

They shrugged and got up, yawning slightly and stretching.

Lily looked at them and giggled suddenly, making them pause to bewilderedly look to see what was so funny.

"Sirius…The zipper usually locks in place. Did you lock it up or down?"

James and Remus sneaked a curious glance at a properly abashed Sirius, who tried, yet again, to get his zipper up. He wasn't succeeding, so he shot a pleading glance at Lily with laughing eyes.

"Lily? A little help please?"

She choked, and slapped Sirius, not all too playfully, before turning her face away from the three giggling teenage boys and allowing a rather reluctant smile to come through.

Once Sirius had finally figured out the zipper, and Lily had refused to check it for him, the set off for the mall's cinema, joking and teasing until they saw the candy counters in the entrance hall for the cinema.

Unfortunately, the ticket booth was in the way.

AN: I'm so sorry it took so long to get up!!
