Hows that for simple? =P

Lily went straight to the ice skates section, and when the boys caught up with her, she was staring at the skates with huge eyes.

"Yo, Lil."

"Mmm…" she mumbled.

"You know, I don't think she's with us anymore."

"What are these?"

"Says they're Ice skates, Prong."

"What do you do with them?"

Lily finally looked at them. "You skate, duh."

"Duh…yup yup."

"Shut up, Padfoot. You want a pair Lil?"

She turned sparkling eyes to James. "I wouldn't mind a pair…"

Remus snorted. "Looks like you found what to get her, Prongs."

James disentangled his lips from Lily's and eyed her apprehensively.

"James, just buy them for her. Look, she really wants them."

"Oh Remus, thank you!" Lily cried, hugging an awkward Remus.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Get your hands off my girlfriend."

"What?! I didn't put my hands on your girlfriend, she put hers on me!"

"Don't deny you didn't like it, though, Moony." Sirius winked, dodging James' half real punch.

Remus just rolled his eyes and wandered down the aisle. "Here's a cheap pair, Prongs. What shoe size are you, Lil?"

She joined him, and pulled out a size 8 kid's pair. "This looks about right."

Sirius came up and smirked, pulling out a pair. Then he tapped Lily on the shoulder, and when she turned around, held up a men's size 12. "More likely this."

She growled and slapped him. "Are you insulting my feet, Sirius?!"

"Lil!" called James from a bench down the aisle, interaupting their squabble. He was unpacking a ladies pair of ice skates and motioning to the bench. "Come try these on, Lil."

She went, still peeved that Sirius had insulted her feet, literally fuming at the ears as James pulled her right shoe off.

"Hey Lil?"

"Mm?"

"Don't listen to Padfoot. You have incredibly," James lowered his voice to a husky murmur, "sexy feet."

She cheered up immediately. "Oh Jamesee, you really think so?"

He grinned up at her from where he was sitting on the floor by her feet. "You know I do. You also know that Sirius is just jealous. Make sure these fit before I buy them for you."

She smiled at him, and they went on talking quietly while Remus and Sirius checked out the men's ice skates.

"You know, Moony, I wouldn't mind a pair."

Remus grinned. "We should buy each other Christmas presents too, right?

Beaming, Sirius agreed. "Right! And we can each chip in for James' present."

"But Padfoot, he doesn't like ice."

A decidedly evil grin lit up Sirius' face. "Exactly. But he can't resist us or Lil."

"What makes you think Lil will agree to go with us on this idea?"

"Moony, you saw how happy she was just looking at the skates. Now think of how thrilled she'll be to have her boyfriend no less skating with her. And we all know that despite how much they argue and deny it, Lily is very much in looove with James, and vice versa…"

Remus looked at the now kissing couple. "Ok!" he agreed happily, taking down three pairs of mens ice skates.

He was going to interrupt them, but Sirius held him back.

"What now, Sirius?"

Sirius grinned. "Let's go explore while our friends are busy."

Remus sighed, but there was a gleam in his eyes.

"Padfoot, look at what happened last time we explored."

"We only got thrown out a few times." Sirius shrugged.

"A few? Sirius, 7 times isn't 'a few'."

"Don't worry Remus, I forgive you."

"For what?"

"For getting me thrown out more than a few times."

"But it was you fault!"

"Now now, if you admit the truth, your life will be so much easier."

Remus looked as if he were about to say something, but stopped. "Fine. But this time, you take the blame if we get thrown out."

"It's a deal."

They tiptoed past the kissing couple and darted between the aisles.

When Lily and James stopped being busy, they couldn't find the other two.

Lily groaned and stood up. "The poor shop."

"Howcome?"

"Think, Jamesee. Those two are like you. Well…sorta. Anyway, think of what trouble they'd get in."

"You have a point. You wanna go find them?"

"What do you suggest?"

"I say we stay here and keep ourselves … entertained…"

Lily started off, but then paused. "Wait a sec."

James looked up from where he was packing the skates back into the box. "What now?"

Lily made her eyes go huge and puppy-like as she turned her gaze to James who melted and picked up the ice skates box.

As they left that aisle, James noticed 3 boxes of mens skates were missing from a slightly unorderly display rack.

Remus and Sirius must have bought Christmas presents, knowing full well that he hated ice.

'Ah well.' He thought, as he paid for Lily's ice skates with her muggle money, promising to pay her back. 'At least I get to see them skate as well.'

AN: Whoa! Thought quote thingies! Didn't think you''d see them here, didya? =Þ Ah well… There should only be about 4 or 5 more chapters left….and maybe a sequel, depending on how far I get with the other series I'm writing…it's such a bother O.o; Anyway, please review!
