Pineapple Togetherness

When the boys had reassembled in their tower, they were greeted with a mad, snorting pit bull, otherwise known as Professor McGonogall.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? ALL OF THE TEACHERS ARE LOOKING FOR YOU!! WE WERE WORRIED SICK!! I WILL SPEAK TO DUMBLEDORE ABOUT YOU! 50 POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR AND DETENTION FOR A MONTH!"

By now her face was bright red, and she was wheezing. James and Sirius turned their faces up to McGonogall with sunny smiles, obviously trying to charm their way out of detention, and Remus just looked sick.

"Wipe those smiles off your face, and get to bed." Professor whispered.

"Professor, please don't take off 50 points. They were only out looking for my kitty, Einstein, she is very good at escaping." Lily piped up in a cheery/worried/caring voice.

All of the group jumped, because they hadn't seen Lily scrunched down in a common room chair. Using the silence as her intro, Lily proceeded to talk around in circles and get McGonogall very confused.

"I wasn't aware, you had a cat, Miss Evans."

"Of course not, I just said she had run away, and if she wasn't here, how could you see her?"

"But surely you came with cat stuff, but I don't see any."

"That is because it is like I said, she isn't here now, so why would I need her stuff?"

"Blah Blah blah etc."

"Fine, Miss Evans. Since you vouch for these ruffians, I shall only take 10 points, and detention for two weeks, for being up and out of their house at night. Get to bed, now, I will alert the other teachers."

When McGonogall had left the boys looked at Lily in a shell shocked manner, wondering how the girl could have possibly thought so fast, and succeeded in making Professor McGonogall confused enough to let her defenses down.

"Wow, Lils. That was an impressive bit of improv, there." Sirius said with awe in his voice.

"Good enough for an Oscar, maybe?" Lily teased.

"What's that?"

"Never mind. By the way, Siri, is Jamsie ever going to talk again, he seems rather mute."

"I know. I could get used to it."

Sirius finished their chat and brought James back to Earth with a quick swing about his head. That made James look up, and 'huh' was all that Sirius received, even thought he had been looking to wrestle.

"Good night, guys. Take Remus up, he still looks as if he were going to faint. Shame, isn't it, that Peter's head cracked open and he is almost dead in the hospital wing." Sighed Lily.

"Yeah." Remus finally spoke up. "Too bad."

"Too bad he wasn't completely smashed, along with Snape." Sirius and James chimed up together in perfect unison.

With that, the boys rushed upstairs, leaving Lily to laugh and wonder if James knew his eyes were the same chocolate brown of a golden retriever.

A/N: I'm sorry all off my chapters are so short, like all of the ones I have done so far should have been a chapter. Oh well, please review, or flame, or ANYTHING!!
