A/N: Hey there, it's me Kranberries. I just wanted to let you know that this chapter should be funnier, so feel free to laugh. Do any of you know someone that lives in Wisconsin? Because a friend of mine and I think that it's the headquarters for the Mafia, I mean, does anyone know anyone that lives there, besides cows, that is? Of course there is the cheese…(Cheese is yummy, I like cheese.) Okay, I'm a few fries short of a Happy Meal, yeah I know, but you should see my brother. Now, on with the fic-

1 Best Friends Forever

Chapter 2: Diagon Alley and Dungbombs

Three days had passed from the day that the two had met. Lily had found that Sirius was just as big a prankster as she herself was. The enjoyed torturing Petunia by saying nonsense words to her and pretending they were spells.

Sirius was dragging Lily all over Diagon Alley, they went to every shop so quickly, that it made Lily's head spin. They had completely finished all of their regular shopping, so Mrs. Black left to bring it all home and gave them three hours to walk around by themselves.

At the moment, they were eating ice cream at Florian Fortescue's, when a voice rang out. "Well, well, if it isn't Sirius Black. On a date. And who might you be, might I ask?" A boy that looked quite a bit like Sirius, except with shorter and more unruly hair and brown eyes framed by glasses.

"Sod off, Potter. She's not my girlfriend. Besides, I wouldn't make her mad if I were you, she's got a horrible temper." Sirius replied easily, with a grin. The boy tried to glare at him, but failed miserably and both of them burst out laughing. "Lily, this is James Potter, my best friend, and fellow mischief maker. James, My next door neighbor, Lily Evans."

Looking slightly confused, Lily smiled and said "Hello."

Sweeping an imaginary hat off his head, he bowed deeply, taking her outstretched hand and raising it to his mouth, "Pleased to make thy acquaintance, m'Lady Lily. Thou art as fair as thy name. Pray, tell what thou thinkest of this unworthy one that is graced by the presence of one so fair as thee."

"I think thou art an ass.*" She replied formally biffing (A/N: I love that word, don't you?) him on the head. Sirius began to laugh hysterically and after a second, James and Lily joined in.

Just then, another voice broke in. "What is all this? You have a party, and yet, don't invite me? I'm thoroughly hurt!" Another boy, this one a little shorter, with brown hair and stormy eyes was standing there with a mock hurt look on his face.

They all looked up. "Hello Remus!" James and Sirius chorused. "Lil, meet my other best friend, Remus Lupin."

"Hello," she said, still giggling.

"Hi. Might I ask what the heck is so funny?" He asked, grinning, so Sirius and James repeated the performance, only substituting the name Samantha in for lily and Sirius answered James in a girly, high pitched voice.

"Hey, I don't sound like that!" Lily said, right before they erupted into laughter again.

Once again, they were interrupted, this time by a sneering silver-haired boy, flanked by two Neanderthals. "If it isn't Potty, Loopy, and the Star. Who's your new girlfriend?"

"Ooh, that was really witty. Can't you come up with anything more original, pretty boy, or do all three of you share the same brain?" Lily asked, sarcastically.

"Ooh, good one Lil." Sirius commented.

"Well, rudeness is all one can expect from a Mudblood like you." After he said this, the three boys leapt at him, but Lily held them back.

"What does that mean?" she asked quietly.

"It's a nasty name for muggle-borns, it means you've got dirty, blood. It's like calling a black person the 'n' word." James explained through clenched teeth.

"I see." She said coolly. "Well then. What is your name?"

"I am Lucious Malfoy." He said, imperiously.

"That's nice." She replied, before socking him in the eye. He was knocked to the floor. "Enervate." She said.

"You can't do that to me! I'm a Malfoy!" he squawked indignantly.

"Hate to break it to you, but I just did." She retorted. She and Sirius had been to a prank shop and they had bot tons of stuff. She pulled out one of the things that they'd bought and chucked it at him. Immediately, a horrible stench wafted into their nostrils. A stench that emanated from Malfoy. "Go take a shower, you smelly git."

Malfoy and his associates ran away screaming. The four of them began to laugh hysterically. "Lil-Malfoy-punch-hah-dungbomb-smelly-git!" They gasped, when Mrs. Black returned, before dissolving into giggles again.

"O-kay." she said, more than slightly confused.

Remus and James went home with them. They decided that they needed a group name. "How about, the Pranksters." Remus suggested.

"Nah." James replied, "Not original enough."

"I've got it. The Marauders." Lily said dramatically

"Yeah!" Sirius cried.

"I like it," James said.

"How do you come up with this stuff, Lil?" Remus asked admiringly.

"I don't know, it just comes to me." She replied.

A/N- I have to get off the computer now, my parents are kicking me off. I'll write more later. My brother says I've got mange! It isn't fair! I like cheese. Anyway… Tea and Crumpets. Well enjoy, and I promise that it'll be funnier. Any suggestions? Pleaaaaaaaasseeeee review!!!!!!!



* this is a quote from Shakespeare's the Comedy of Errors. Antipholus of Ephesus says it to Dromio of Ephesus. It is a really funny play.
